to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  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  difficult  to  discover.

PREFACE. 


I 


When  we  last  made  our  usua!  pcricKlical  address  to  our  readeiSf 
thanking  them  for  their  past  support^  and  soliciting  from  them  a 
continuation  of  their  patronage,  the  world  was  still  at  peace,  and, 
though  the  storm  was  gathering,  the  thimder-cloud  had  not  yet 
burst. 

It  is  not  for  the  first  time  tliat  we  saluti:  our  friends,  as  we  do 
now,  at  the  opening  of  a  very  eventful  period.  We  are  in  the 
second  century  of  our  existence,  and  during  that  period  our  pages 
hiiTe  made  faithful  record  of  thrones  created  and  destroyed,  of 
dyDESties  tliat  have  been  boni  and  which  have  died  out,  and  of 
triumphs  by  which  even  the  conr^uerors  gained  nothing  but  at  the 
expense  of  wide-sufieiing  humanity.  To  sum  up  our  historical 
experience  since  the  far-distant  day  of  our  birth,  we  might  say  with 
pleaaant  breyity  that,  during  the  long  period  which  that  experience 
embraces,  the  only  things  which  have  survived  unscathed  the  shock 
and  struggle  of  the  battle  of  life,  are  the  British  Constitution,  the 
Ix)ndon  Gazette,  and  the  Gentleman's  Magazine.  We  fancy  we 
hear  our  readers  exclaim,  **  May  they  flourbh  together  for  ever!" 
We  cannot  but  heartily  respond  **  Amen  I"  to  so  gracious  a  wish. 

To  secure  the  realization  of  such  a  wish  there  needs  but  continued 
exertion  on  our  side;  that  the  public  is  sure  to  have.     There  is 

^ further  need  of  the  hearty  good-will  of  the  public,  and  that  we 
hope  to  have*  As  the  CircassiAn  chiefi  said  the  other  day  to  Sir 
E.  Lyons,  we  deserve  no  less  in  consideration  of  our  fidelity  and 
constancy. 
r  We  will  not  say  that  under  all  circumstances  the  public  has  found 
us  the  same ;  but  we  will  go  further,  and  aver  with  courageous 
modesty,  that,  under  all  circumstances,  we  have  improved*  We 
have  never  been  discouraged,  and  have  always  been  prepared  to 
perlbnn    with    alacrity   our    duty    to    our    generous    8ubscril)€r8.

IV  PREFACE. 

Bourdalouc,  when  he  desired  to  create  more  than  ordinary  sensation 
in  the  pulpit,  always  used  to  excite  himself  to  vigour  by  being 
energetically  played-to  on  the  violin,  while  he  violently  danced 
about  his  room,  and  so  got  his  spirit  into  play  before  he  gravely 
ascended  to  the  pulpit.  We  are  still  too  young  to  require  such 
factitious  stimidant ;  the  public  needs  only  to  visit  us  with  increasing 
&vour  to  find  increase  of  useful  service  and  unwearied  zeal  at  tlic 
hands  of  their  true  and  faithful

MINOR  CORRESPONDENCE. 


M».  UiiiB\N, — When  k  whb  dettrmined 
that  the  body  of  the  Duke  of  Wrllitiston 
nbouldbe  ilc|iofiitetl  in  St.  Piiurs  Catbedml^ 
it  was  At  once  biupposeil  tbnt  tt  would  be 
Inid  fiidt^  by  side  with  tbat  of  our  grcnt 
Naval  Hero,  which  already  occupied  the 
cent  ml  s=pot  of  tbat  gr«nt  gtrucluroi  Ue- 
ueatb  tbo  sarcophagus  onj^tnally  msde  for 
Wohey's  tombhouse  at  Windaor.  It  was 
founds  bowcTer,  on  the  eve  of  the  funeral ,, 
that  Nelsou's  tomb  had  already  been  en< 
croacbed  upon  in  th«  year  1B:15,  wbea  the 
body  of  his  brother  Willinm  Earl  Nclscm 
was  placed  within  It,  This  circumstance, 
it  i«  ntiderstood,  formed  the  diltuntUy 
which  Las  prevented  the  completion  of  the 
Great  Duke's  interment. 

In  a  book  of  local  topography  recently 
published,— Mr.  Pulinan'g  ••  Cook  of  the 
Axe,"  I  find,  in  an  account  of  Cricket  St. 
Thoraaji,  in  Somcrtatshiret  tlie  pariah 
church  of  Lord  Bridport,  t^itatemeut  that 
*•  there  is  a  very  i Titer esling  and  beautifully 
executed  monument  of  white  marhlcf  [the 
acuipCor's  nnrae  is  not  given] »  agaimt  the 
north  wall  of  the  chancel,  to  the  memory 
of  the  Rev.  Willi^im  Earl  NeUon,  Duke 
of  Bront^f^  and  father  of  the  prcBent  I^dy 
Bridpart.  Jt  ooniUtt  of  a  full-ltngth 
reclining  figure  of  the  Karl,  in  canotiiciils, 
contemplating  an  ascending  ang^l  above, 
and  holdings  id  one  band,  an  open  book. 
The  couDtenance  is  remarkably  fine.  An 
inscription  leta  forth  that  the  Earl  was 
born  on  April  20, 17^7  r  a^^d  died  February 
2Aj  1835,  and  tbat  hU  rejuuiii»  are  depo- 
iited  in  St.  Paul's  cathedral,  by  the  side 
of  those  of  bis  brothcTt  tbe  c«:lebrate(l 
Admiral/ '  On  reading  this,  the  qiiestion 
will  at  once  occur  to  every  one,  Why  should 
not  Uie  remains  of  thi»  worthy  member  of 
the  Church  Militant  be  tranislatcd  from 
their  present  unautboHscd  position,  and 
placed  beneath  his  own  *'  beautifully  ex- 
ecuted monument?  '* 

Yours,  &c.  N, 

[We  believe  tbis  matter  is  now  settled, 
the  coflin  of  the  Duke  of  Wellington 
baving  been  recently  removed  from  where 
it  rested  abofothe  saroopbagus  of  NeUoii*fi 
tomb  to  a  spot  some  twenty  yard«  more  to 
the  east,  where  our  great  Ptlilitary  Hero  will 
now  have  a  tomb  of  his  own. — Edit.] 

Mr,  Ubhan, — loyour  NoTcmbcr  num- 
ber you  gave  insertion  to  an  account  of 
some  strangely  barbarons  treatment  to 
which  otic  or  two  mnral  stabs  in  Folke- 
stone Church  have  been  subjected.  I  con 
now  fiirnish  your  pages  with  another  case 
of  similar  Vandalism,  Btit  there  is  this 
diiTerence :  the  former  is  merely  «ii  exhi- 


bition of  execrable  tante,  the  latter  is  the 
deliberate  perpetration  of  extravagant  Pu- 
ritanism. Displeased  with  a  small  demi- 
figuns  of  St.  Matthew,  in  a  south  window 
of  the  south  nislfl  of  the  pretty  church  of 
Lydiard  MiHcent,  in  Wiltshire,  the  zeal 
of  the  minieter  has  excited  him  to  have 
the  head  taken  out  and  its  place  supplied 
by  a  circular  piece  of  yellow- coloured 
glass  !  This  half  way  sort  of  sensitiveness 
only  makes  the  enormity  the  more  flagrant. 
1  am  as  hotly  opposed  to  the  pranks  of 
Puseyism,  to  resuscitated  medieval  mum- 
meries, and  to  preaching  much  of  **  The 
Church ''  and  but  little  of  *'  T\m  Gospel," 
as  the  lowest  of  Low*  church  men  can  be. 
Disgusted  too  with  the  monotonous  howl- 
ing of  the  Litany,  &c.  in  our  cathedrals t  I 
have  very  frequently  been  tempted  to  ex- 
claim that,  were  it  not  for  the  architecture 
and  the  monuments,  I  should  wish  these 
nurseries  of  oriestly  presumption  razed  to 
the  dust.  Nevertheless  sotnething  is  due 
to  archtcology,  and  such  ultra-iconoebiitic 
intemperance  as  that  of  the  minister  of 
Lydiurd  Miltccnt  would,  if  hi>neBtly  car- 
ried out*  hail  the  hurtling  of  the  beat  works 
of  Hflfaelle  mid  Guido,  break  up  the  Greek 
and  Egyptian  idols  in  the  Museum,  and 
sma^h  every  pone  of  aneifnt  stained  glass 
to  be  found  in  our  charche#. 

I  am,  &c.         L. 

Mr.  UitBANj^Somc  clerical  reader  of 
your  Magazine,  resident  in  London  or  the 
suburbs,  could  I  think  assist  me  in  the 
following  mullor.  The  poet  Mat  let  mar- 
ried bis  second  wife  tn  October,  1742  :  for 
two  years  previously  he  lived  in  the  parish 
of  Chisffick  :  where  ho  lived  before  1740 
I  know  not.  I  wont  to  find  out  the  time 
and  plaee  of  the  death  of  his  first  wife, 
which  probably  was  not  many  years  prior 
to  1742.  Yourd,  Ac.         1).

p<*Ct,  It  naa  now,  however,  been  well 
tsceri«tned,  by  the  researches  of  suc- 
cesMTC  historical  inquirers,  that  in  this 
itory,  aa  in  others,  Foxe'a  zeal  carried 
bim  into  gross  exaggeration ;  and  rea- 
iomible  exception  luighi  be  taken  to 
Elizabeth  beinf^  cias^d  as  a  religious 
ii»rijrr  at  all,  for  whilst,  on  the  i»nc

tensedlj  olarmeil  for  her  personal  safety 
to  be  particularly  contunmciouss  in  re-

of  (^ueen  Maj-j's  person  and  govern- 
ment, and  not  iVom  any  ]jurely  religi- 
ous uuestions.  We  are  now  enabled, 
by  the  recent  publication  of  some 
authentic  documents  connecte<l  with 
Elizabeth's  imprisonment,  to  review 
tbe  narmtive  which  Foxe  and  his  fol- 
lowers hfive  given  of  its  incidents,  and 
\\         '  '    f  any  fresh  information 

I  _  a  portion  of  our  his- 

uiMu  engage  the  attention 
0  -rs. 

A  li'  J.  liwusy  with  which  tbe  Lady 
Szalictb  was  reganled,  was  tlie  almost 


neceasary  result  of  the  relative  position 
of  her  sister  and  herself.  Mary  waa 
the  [)os5esj«or  of  the  throne,  and  child- 
less ;  Elizabeth  was  the  next  heir  la 
expectancy.  This  circumstance  alone, 
at  a  time  when  all  parties  and  factions 
had  their  mainspring  in  personal  claims, 
was  quite  stjllleient  to  excite  distrust, 
unless  tbe  sisters  had  been  perfectly 
united  in  sentiment  and  opinions,  and 
devoted  to  the  accomplishment  of  the 
sante  objects.  liut  this  they  neither 
were  by  age  or  education,  nor  would 
tbe  world  allow  them  to  become  aOt 
Mai*y  was  tbe  ostensible  bead  of  a  reli- 
gious revolution :  Elizabeth  the  sole 
stay  of  the  smothered  but  widely -spread 
aspirations  of  those  who  had  embraced 
in  sincerity  the  pure  doctrines  of  the 
Goj<peL 

Ail  tbe  children  of  Henry  the  Eighth, 
though  each  born  of  ditlerent  mothers, 
apjK'ar  to  have  been  brought  up  in 
kiudly  intercourse  with  one  another ; 
and  even  to  have  reciprocated  with 
alll'ction  the  attentions  of  their  last 
Btep-mothcr,  Queen  Katharine  Parr. 
But  their  friendly  intercourse  was  con- 
siderably checked  and  impaired  during 
the  reign  of  King  Edward  by  the  reli- 
gious, political,  and  personal  jealousies 
of  their  councillors  and  adherents. 

At  tbe  death  of  King  Edward,  the 
attempted  diversion  of  the  succession, 
cummenced,  but  not  fully  accomplished, 
by  tbe  Dukes  of  Northumberland  and 
Sutlblk,  placed  the  interests  of  the  two 
sisters,  I^lary  and  Elizabeth,  in  a  com- 
munity of  danger,  and  appeared  for  a

In  rcligiouH  matt^?r8,  however,  jshc 
WiLs  ns  yet  linn.  In  a  despatch  written 
a  few  wceki*  afrer  Miiry's  accession 
(on  the  tith  Sept.)  the  French  ambas- 
«tidor  reports  tlnit  **  Elizabeth  will  not 
hear  mass,  nor  accompany  her  sister  to 
the  chapel,  whatever  remonstrance 
either  the  CJueerj  or  the  lords  of  her 
(jei'suasion  have  been  able  to  mnke  to 
her  iiW  the  subject*"     From  other  nc- 


counts  we  learn  that  she  parried  bcr 
siater*s  entreaties,  by  nsking  time  for 
reflection,  and  books  that  might  in* 
{Struct  her  in  the  new  faith  she  waa  re^ 
quired  to  adopt. 

It  has  been  imagined  by  many  wriieri^ 
that  the  estrangement  of  the  roytl| 
sisters  originated  from  their  mutuftl^ 
regard  of  the  youn^  Earl  of  Devon  \\ 
but,  though  much  lias  been  surmisedl 
with  rci^pcct  to  that  personage,  therej 
is  little,  if  any,  bistorical  evidence  m 
his  having  actually  engaged  the  allec- J 
tionaofeither  sister.  Edward  Courtenaji 
was  the  only  child  of  Edward  Marquesfr  I 
of  Exeter  and  Gertrude  of  York,  on©  I 
of  the  daughters  of  King  Edward  tho.j 
Fourth.  Af\er  having  spent  hin  youth  I 
and  early  manhood  in  confuiement,  he  j 
was  released  from  the  Tower  at  the  J 
acceuaion  of  Mary^  was  by  a  new  crea* 
tion  restored  to  his  ancestral  dignity  nil 
an  Earl,  and  made  a  Knight  of  the  Batlt| 
at  the  corouatitm.  It  is  said  that  he  | 
came  to  court  accoraplisheil  in  point  of 
education,  though  necessarily  inexpe*J 
rienced  in  the  ways  of  the  world.  IleJ 
was  a  handsome  man  of  about  twenty- j 
eight  years  of  age,  and  almost  the  onljl 
near  relative  of  the  Queen  and  liepj 
Ulster  that  was  not  of  their  own  sex**] 
It  was  nnavoidablct  under  these  cir*l 
cumstanees,  that  the  sjiecuhitions  ofl 
some  politicians  should  be  cjirectedf 
towards  him;  and  parlicularly  of  Much  J 
as  esteemed  it  more  desirable  that  tliei 
blood  royal  should  be  matched  witllj 
native  thsui  with  foreign  consorts. 

We  have  not,  however,  the  ieo 
authentic  intimation  that  Mary  at  anjM 
time  herself  entertained  an  idea  or 
ntarning  this  English  cousin.  The! 
idea  has  pleased  the  fancy  of  historic«lj

the  emperor  had  alreadjr  rciJolved  upon 
her  marrifligis  with  his  son  Philip ;  *  and 
Mary  from  the  first  appears  to  have 
Tiewed  this  alliance  with  favour,  hav- 
iogi  it  is  said,  fullj  appreciated  the 
personal  charms  of  her  Spanish  cousjUt

The  supposition  that  mtentionf  of 
oiatrimony  were,  on  their  own  part» 
entertained  by  Elizabeth  and  Cour- 
tenay,  i:>  equally  JetitituLe  of  proof. 
It  is  true  that  in  point  of  years  he  was 
not  only  better  suited  to  her  than  to 
Mary,  but  that  in  that  respect,  a^  in 
birth,  he  was  not  ineligible;  and  it 
\m  also  true  that  Elizabeth  repeatedly 
objected  to  marriages  proposed  for  her 
with  continental  princes,  as  if  she  was 
unwilling  to  leave  her  native  country, 
and  cherished  an  abidinrr  preisentiment 
of  her  future  destiny.  It  would  seem 
thati  if  she  had  desired  a  husband  at 
•11,  he  would  have  been  an  English- 
niAn.     IJut  whildt  others  were  ready, 

^(r€^m  political  motives,  to  designate  the 
Earl  of  Devon  for  her  consort,  no  con- 
temporary statement  tins  hitherto  oc- 
curred of  her  having  regarded  her 
kinsman  with  pcrsomd  favour, 
k  The  Earl  of  Devon  was  nrrested 
■Blonrr  those  supposed  to  be  implicated 
in  Wyat*j*  insurrection,  and  again  com- 
mitted to  the  Tower  on  the  12th  Feb. 
ISS^  the  very  day  that  the  Lady  Jane 
was  beheaded. 

The  Lady  Elizabeth,  who  was  then 
at  her  njanor  of  Ashritlge  in  Utrttbrd- 
^H       shire,  had  alrea<ly  been  summoned  to 
^H      Ck»ui't   by  ft  letter  under   the  signet 
^^      dated  the  29tli  January,     She  hud  ex- 
cused herself  on  the  plea  of  illness; 
»bat,  on  the  alarm  of  Wyat^s  attack  on 
the  metropolis  the  Lord  Admiral,  Sir 
Edward   tlasttngs    and    Sir  Thotuns 
Cornwaleys  were  sent  to  bring  her  to 


town.  They  arrived  at  Ash  ridge  on 
Sunday  the  lltli  February,  and  the 
princess  was  removed  on  the  follow- 
ing morning.  She  was  still  permitted, 
on  account  of  the  state  of  her  health, 
to  travel  by  very  short  ijtages,  and  ap- 
parently to  linger  for  several  days  at 
llighgate,  during  which  time  the  streets 
ol' London  were  a  perfect  slaughter- 
liouae  from  the  vengeance  taken  upon 
the  Londoners  who  had  revolted  to  the 
standard  of  Wyat. 

Her  entrance  into  London  on  the 
23d  Feb.  i^  thus  described  in  a  despatch 
of  the  Spanish  ambassador,  Reoaad: 

The  Lady  Elizabeth  arrifcd  here  yester- 
day, dressed  atl  in  white,  with  a  great 
compaay  of  the  Qiueen^s  servants  and  htr 
own.  She  caused  the  litter  in  which  she 
rode  to  hi;  uncovei  ed,  that  she  might  show 
herself  to  the  people.  Her  countenance 
was  pafc,  her  dc'mcanaur  proud,  lofty,  and 
disdainful,  by  which  she  eude4i¥oured  to 
conc^**!  her  vexation.  The  Queen  would 
not  see  her  ;  and  caused  her  to  be  lodged 
in  a  quarter  of  her  palace  from  which  she 
caunot  go  forth,  nor  her  serfants,  without 
passing  thruugh  the  guard  ;  and  she  hus 
left  to  her  only  two  gentlemen,  six  women, 
and  four  servants,  the  rest  of  her  train 
being  lodged  in  the  city  of  London. 

The  Queen  is  advised  to  commit  her  to 
the  Tower,  since  she  is  accused  by  Wyat, 
named  in  the  letters  of  the  French  ambas- 
sador, and  8U5pe€ted  by  the  privy  coun- 
ciDorB;  and  m  it  h  certain  that  the  enter- 
prise was  undertaken  in  her  favour.  And 
aisttredly»  Sire,  if,  now  that  the  oppor* 
tunity  offers,  the  Queen  do  not  |iuntiih 
her  aod  Courteuay,  [such  **  punishment  ** 
h  evidently  meant  as  had  so  lately  been 
awarded  to  the  unhappy  Lady  Jaue  and 
her  husband  Lord  Guilford  Dudley,]  she 
will  never  be  secure;  for  I  fenr  that,  if 
the  Lady  Elizabeth  be  left  iu  the  Tower, 
when  tbc  Queen  departs  fur  the  parlia- 
ment [which  was  to  bo  held  at  Oxford,] 
some  treasonable  means  will  be  found  to 
release  her  or  Courteuay,  or  both  of  thero» 
so  thai  this  error  will  be  worse  than  the 
former.'f

that  the  French  author  should  bavo  contradicted  the  letters  of  Noailles,  which  he

Cardinal  Pole  of  desiring  to  promote  a  union  between  Courteuay  and  Mary  ;  but  it 
doet  not  appear  that  there  were  any  grounds  beyond  suspicion  that  even  Pole  enter- 
tained  such  a  design.  There  were  rumours  that  Pole  himself,  ihotigh  a  cardinal-deacon 
and  ftfly-three  years  of  age,  might  aspire  to  the  Qaeen'a  hxmd.  Probably  the  Queen

fith   the  view  of  shielding   his   own

Peter  Carew«  who  headed  an  Inaiirroc* 
tion  in  the  West  concurrent  with  that 
of  Wyat  in  Kent,  was  also  found  to 
have  eorresponded  witli  Courtenay, 
and  Us  have  ailvocated  bis  marriago 
with  the  Lady  Elizabeth,  f  Such  were 
the  inculjuitions  which  Elizabeth  in- 
curred by  the  iudiscreUons  of  her  pro- 
fessed friends. 

The  imputation  of  her  having  com- 
jounicaled  with  France  was  varied  in 
its  ternia.  She  was  sometimes  charged 
with  having  carried  on  such  communi- 
cation in  cypher,  and  sometimes  it 
amounted  to  the  assertion  that  she  liud 
herself  written  a  letter  to  the  French 
king;  this  she  very  emphatically  de- 
nies I  in  the  letter  which  she  wrote  to 
her  sister  on  her  committal  to  the 
Tdwcr,  when  she  declared  that,  "  As 
for  the  traitor  Wyat,  he  might  perad- 
venture  write  me  a  1elt4ir,  but  on  my 
faith  I  never  received  any  from  him. 
And  as  for  the  copy  of  the  letter  sent 
to  the  French  king,  J  pray  God  con- 
found me  eternally  if  ever  I  sent  him 
wonl,  messagCj  token,  or  letter,  l>y 
any  means;  and  to  t\m  truth  1  will 
stand  to  my  death "  From  a  docu- 
ment now  first  publ!,Hhcd{  the  actual 
charge  appears  to  be  reduced  to 
the  circumstance  that  copies  of  her 
secret  letters  tn  the  Queen  had  been 
found  in  the  intercepted  despatches — 
a  circumstance  which  floes  not  imply 
that  the  treachery  of  communicating 
them  was  necessarily  her  own.  From 
first  to  last,  all  the  documents  that  have 
now  been  discovered  only  reach  to  the 
same  amount  of  crimination  which  is 
said  to  have  been  expressetl  by  Eliza-

should  be  committed  to  the  safe  custody 
of  the  TowQTr    On  lieing  Informed  of 

fi  resolutrnu,  the  princess  was  oirer-

vigorous  an  efiort  to  procure  a  reprieve 
thi^t  the  tide  wa5  lost,  and  tbe  con- 
sequent power  of  shooting  London

to  her  eist^r.  She  was  not  to  he  taken 
through  the  streets,  for  the  Cimncil 
evidently  feared  her  popularity  with 
the  London  citizens.  She  was  finally 
conveyed  down  the  river^  during  divine

The  pasp»ionate  ^rief  with  which  Eli- 
zaheth  passed  through  the  Traitor«* 
gate  at  tne  Tower  is  well  known  from 
Sae  narrative  of  Foxe :  and  it  may 
readily  be  conceived  that  her  l>eha^

feelings,  when  she  mu:»t  have  remem*

■Uiement  which  formed  the  foondaljon 
of  Foxe*8  elaborate  ftory  it  preserved 
among  his  |>apers  in  the  Bnti^h  Mu-

wiMi  her  dati^litcr  in  law  the  Queen *ii  Ma- 
jesty** maid,*  did  await  thi'ir  receipt,  and 
followed  the  littc^r  unto  the  door^  when  her 
Grace  alighted  mid  was  no  by  them  re- 
ceifcd  into  the  house,  and  ho  went  Into  her 
chamber,  from  whcQce  she  desired  not  to 
fttir,  beio^  thereto  moved  by  wenryaenfl,  an 
k  was  to  be  judged. 

The  journey  on  the  following  iloy 
from  Wycombe  to  Rycot  is  described 
in  similar  terms.  It  vfiis  miido 
without  any  great  meeting- witii  into  a 
town  called  AjtoiVt  where  »oine  people 
looked  on  her  p«stiii(,  and  four  repaired 
ta  the  church  and  rang  tbe  belU^  which 
were,  by  order  of  the  Lord  Willi  ami,  Sir 
Henry  Bedingfield,  and  Sir  William  Dor- 
mer, put  in  ward  presently. 

This  incident  h  mentioned  by  Foxc, 
and  oiiu  oi'  the  itenis  of  his  com[daint 
19  so  fftf  confirmed.  On  the  tirrivd  at 
tbe  Lord  Williiimw'iJ  house  at  Kycot, 
whither  certain  people  were  gathered  to 
tee  her,  iuto  the  chnmbcrs  in  the  inner 
court,  fhe  alighted  out  of  her  litter  ot 
the  hall  door,  where  tbe  Lady  Williiiraa, 
With  other  gentlewocncn,  did  entertain  her 
Grace;  from  whence  she  pA^aed  directly 
to  her  lodging,  from  tlic  which  she  stirred 
not  unlil  ibe  had  fupped,  when  Ahe  ealkd 
for  the  Lord  Williams,  Sir  Hairy  Bed  in  g- 
fidil,  and  Sir  William  Dormer,  tii  awdt 
her  |dcaswre  in  the  utter  chamber  of  the 
three,  with  whom  she  tnlkeil. 

Tteio^  she  had  the  Lady  Witliums  with 
her  at  supper,  who  reiudnt'd  there  till 
Uvery  wai  fcrved. 

Her  Grace  wai  marveloualy  well  enter* 
tained,  as  well  in  her  diet  aa  ludging. 

This  laiit  observation  tullics  with  the 
"princely  entertainment"  nt  Iljcot 
described  in  Foxe^s  narrative*  though » 
as  proceeding  from  Sir  Henry  Dedin^r- 
fiefd,  it  doe>«j  not  confirm  Foxe's  asser- 
tion, that  Sir  Henry  **  grunted  lunl 
wns  highly  otTended"  ther*>wjtbi  mul 
hnil  an  angry  rencontre  with  the  Lord 
Williitms  npon  the  iiubject* 

At  the  town::*  of  Whojitley  and  Stan- 
ton 8t,  John  till  the  i»en|d(j  nwnited 
the  princesii'i*  noising  with  **  tiod  save 
your  Grace  I*  Near  Islip  they  en- 
countered a  company  of  the  parishion- 
ers engaged  in  perform inp^  a  remark- 
able custom,  which  is  thus  described : — 

There  wai  a  namber  of  men  ant)  chil- 


dren of  the  Mime  town  fetching  home  to 
tbe  use  of  tbe  Church,  aa  they  said,  given 
to  them  by  the  lord  of  the  aatne,  a  load  of 
wood  {  and  according  to  their  use,  fta  they 
said,  to  be  drawn  home  by  tbe  itreugtli 
of  men  drawing  in  tracef,  and  having  with 
them  for  their  further  sport  a  minstrel; 
whom  at  her  coming  by  she  did  a  little 
behold,  and  they  saluting  her  she  passed 
on  her  way. 

At  the  close  of  tliis  day's  journey 
she  arrived  at  Woodstock  ;  where 
At  the  park  gate  awaiteil  her  coming  tbe 
foresters  aod  keepers  of  tbe  park  ;  and  at 
the  gate  of  the  house  were  lome  people 
gathered  i  where  also  stood  within  tbe 
same  gate  six  of  the  keepers  of  the  same 
house,  wesponed  nith  furest  billsi  at  which 
gate  she  enteredr  and  pasted  towards  tier 
lodging. 

It  biw  l>een  traditionally  asserted 
that  ibe  Lady  Elizabeth's  prison  at 
Woodstock  was  not  in  t!ie  manor-house 
but  in  the  gate -house,  where,  nf^er  the 
palace  itself  had  been  pulled  down, 
a  room  was  still  called  '*  the  Princeaa 
Eliztibelh*s  chandler."  This  story, 
however^  is  contradicted  l»y  the  fol- 
low in^i  description  of  the  preparations 
made  for  her  reception  : — 

M''  thut  at  her  coming  to  Woodstock 
there  wai  only  ]jre|iarcd  for  her  Grace 
four  chambers  hanged  with  the  Queen's 
frtuETand  her  Grnce*i  own. 

Item,  that  in  the  whole  houie  there  were 
but  three  doors  only  that  were  able  to  be 
locked  and  barred,  to  the  great  disqujet 
and  trouble  of  uiitid  of  the  peraoan  com- 
manded to  attend  upon  her  Grace  in  so 
large  u  houte,  and  uuacf[uainted  contrary. 

It  is  addc<i  that  tbe  Lord  Wdliama 
and  8ir  Leonard  Chamberlain,  who  had 
attended  upon  the  princess  throughout 
the  journey  from  Kichmond  to  \Vood- 
slock,  occupied  tor  the  night  and  day 
afler  it^  termination  "tbe  lodge  in 
Woodstocke  park.'* 

On  the  2GU\  May  the  Council  sent 
to  Sir  Henry  Ucdiiiglield  an  intimation 
of  the  Queen*B  approval  of  his  proceed- 
ings! tii^d  also  a  memorial,  under  the 
Queen's  sign-manual,  of  instructions

The  Lady  Elizabeth  a  Prisoner  at  Woodstock, 


said  sister.*'  When  opportunity  t^c- 
curre<l,  he  was  iuslructcd  l>i'ietly  to 
declare  to  such  geiitlemeu  as  tbe  (iwecu 
Iwd  presently  inMres^icd  her  letters 
unto  for  hi:*  assisUmco  in  her  tsorvicc, 
»l  to  such  others  aa  should  have  occa- 
won  tt>  repair  unto  him,  **  the  C4iuse  of 
our  mid  sister  s  Yvkia  eonimittJtig  to  the 
Tower;  whereof  although  she  be  not 
hitherto  tfioroughly  cleared,  yt*t  have 
we,  for  her  better  cjuiet,  an<l  to  tlie  end 
flus  may  be  the  more  honourubly  used, 
(hottghl  meet  to  appoint  her  to  remain 
«i  our  said  manor  of  Wowl^tock  until 
sudt  time  aa  certain  matters  touchlnof 
her  case  which  be  not  yet  cleared  may 
be  thoroughly  tried  and  examined." 

Sir  Henry  Beilingfield  was  directetl 
to  **CJiune  mv  iJaid  sister  to  be  aufely 
looJEed  unto  for  the  safeguard  of  her 
persoo,  having  neverlhelef^  re;;ard  to 
lue  her  In  such  good  and  honourable 
iCkrt  as  may  be  agreeable  to  our  honour 
add  her  estate  and  degree/'  She  was 
to  be  ftuifered  **  to  walk  abroad  and 
take  the  air  in  the  gunlens  of  the  said 
house,  so  as  he  Inmi^elf  be  present  In 
her  coinpaiiy**'  He  was  not  to  permit 
lier  to  have  con  le  re  nee  with  any  sus- 
pected person  out  of  his  hearings  nor 
0?  any  means  to  receive  or  send  any 
nesMget  letter,  or  token ,  to  or  from 
any  manner  of  person.  And  he  was 
%0  make  frequent  eommunicntiun  to  the 
Council  of  every  thing  that  occurred » 

In  bis  first  report  after  settling  at 
Woodstoi'k,  Sir  llenry  Bedingfield  in- 
formed the  Council  that  her  Grace  con- 
tinued in  reasonable  health  and  quiet- 
ness, so  far  as  he  could  perceive ;  but 
chat  she  had  claimed  promises  as  made 
by  the  Lord  Treasurer  and  Lord  Cham- 
berlain that  she  should  have  liberty  to 
walk  within  the  whole  park  of  Wood- 
stock. She  had  also  expressed  a  wish 
to  have  the  attendance  of  one  **  Jolics 
Pictonest"  who  in  her  youth  did  teach 

■  divers  tongues,  which  for  lack  of 
erience  she  said  she  was  then  likely 

'lose.  The  name  of  this  early  in- 
structor of  Elizabeth  appears  to  be 
fofgoiten :  is  any  memorial  preserved 
of  Eim  ? 

Her  firace,  as  Bedingfield  suspected, 
had  also  sent  to  Parry  her  coflercr  for 
certain  books,  though  Parry  said  it  was 
done  of  his  own  suggestion.  From  sub- 
sequent part^  of  tEe  correspondence  it 
appears  that  the  service  had  been  un- 
d«Ttakefi  br  a  son-in-law  of  Parry,  one 

Gtrr.  Mao.  Vol,  XLL 


4i4n\  Fortescuc,  a  student  at  Oatford. 
Two  books  had  c^me  into  Sir  Henry's 
hands :  one  of  them  was  Tully'a  Offices, 
and  the  other  Diivid*s  Psalms  in  Latiu ; 
but  such  was  the  jailor's  caution  that 
he  returned  both  again  "for  lack  of 
warrants :"  taking,  however,  a  bill  of 
the  names  of  all  the  books  which  were 
in  readiness,  which  he  forwarded  to  the 
L{>rd5  of  the  Council  for  their  approval. 

The  Council  in  their  replvstatetl  that 
the  promise  of  allowing  tlie  Princess 
the  range  of  the  park  was  not  recol- 
lected, and  could  not  be  granted  ;  and 
that  thoy  knew  no  such  person  an  John 
Pic  tones.  They  peruiitte<l  the  books 
to  be  received,  provided  that  none  other 
matter  were  written  or  put  in  them  as 
might  tend  to  turther  mconveuienee. 
But  in  the  next  despnteh  even  this  in- 
dulgcJice  was  withdrawn,  on  thegronnd 
that  the  books  had  been  sent  without 
order  or  commandment,  *' albeit  the 
Council  could  not  find  any  matter  of 
suspicion  in  the  said  books  ;**  and  For* 
tescue  w*ni*  to  be  summonefl  and  dbarj)ly 
checked  tor  bts  presumption. 

On  the  5th  June  Sir  llenry  Beding- 
field reported  that  the  Princess  bad 
that  day  parted  with  her  favourite  ser- 
vant Elizabeth  Sands,  "  not  without 
great  mourning*'  of  them  both.  This 
mistress  Sands  bad  been  denounced  us 
"  a  person  of  an  evil  opinion,  and  not 
tit  to  remain  about  our  said  Sister's 
person,"  in  a  letter  under  the  Queen's 
signet  and  sign-manual  dated  the  26th 
May.  She  is  one  of  the  heroines  of 
the  chronicles  of  Foxe,  who  in<'orrectly 
tle^cribes  her  dismissal  as  having  been 
from  the  Tower,  instead  of  Woodstock, 
She  joined  the  religious  exiles  at  Ge- 
jieva  and  Basle;  but  afterwards  re- 
turned to  attend  upon  her  royal  mis- 
tress when  Queen,  and  became  the  wife 
of  Sir  Maurice  Berkeley. 

Sir  Henry  Bed  ing  fie  Id's  despatch  of 
the  9th  of  June  contain.^  some  further 
interesting  particulars  of  the  Lacly 
Ellxabeths  applicatiou  for  books,  lie 
had  not  yet  given  her  any,  because  she 
hml  not  asked  him,  until  yesterday  in 
the  morning,  in  the  time  of  her  walk, 
she  demanded  of  him  whether  he  had 
any  English  Bible  of  the  smallest  vo- 
lume^ or  no?  Sir  Henry  answered 
"  with  truth"  that  he  himself  had  never 
any  such ;  and  then  her  Grace  said, 
**  If  ye  will  send  to  my  cofferer,  1  am 
sure  fie  hath."  To  that  Bedingfteld  made

This  answer  he  perceived  iihc  took  not 
in  good  part:  and  within  half  an  hour 
after,  duinnp  her  walk  in  the  Nelher 
Gar^ien,  in  a  more  unpleasant  humour 
than  he  had  seen  her  ^ince  her  coming 
from  the  Tower,  slic  railed  to  bim 
afi^ain,  and  said,  ''^l  have  at  divers 
times  spoken  to  you  to  write  to  my 
Lords  of  certain  my  re^juestSi  and  you 
never  make  me  answer  to  any  of 
them.  I  think  you  make  none  of  my 
Lords  privy  to  my  suits,  but  only  my 
Lord  Chamberlain,  (this  wius  Sir  John 
Gttgc,)  who,  although  1  know  liim  to 


l»c  a  good  gentleman,  yet,  by  age  and 
other  his  e.irncst  businedSi  I  know  he 
hath  occasion  to  forget  many  thing?." 
Tc»  thiji  he  answered  that  he  never 
wrote  on  Iier  Grace*s  matters  to  any 
of  the  lordd  privatdy,  and  added  that 
he  thought  this  was  a  time  when  their 
lordships  had  great  busincfs  (the  ar- 
rival of  prince  IHiilip  beini*  daily  ex- 
pceted),  and  thercfbrc  her  (intco  coidd

for  me  ;  to  write  unto  mv  Lord»»  and 
to  desire  them  on  my  behalf  to  be  means 
unto  the  (Queen's  Majesty,  to  wnt^J 
unto  her  Ilighncs$  with  my  own  hand ; 
and  in  this  case  I  pray  you  let  me  have 
answer  us  soon  a«  you  can."  To  this 
he  answered,  **  I  shall  do  for  your 
tirace  that  I  am  able  to  do;  which  is 
t4i  write  to  my  Lorrls,  and  then  it  mu«t 
needs  rest  in  theJr  honourable  con- 
sideration whether  I  shall  have  an- 
swer or  no/*  Since  his  making  which 
reply  her  Cirace  had  not  spoken  to  him 
a*;ain. 

The  Councirs  inmicdiatc  answer  was 
that  Sir  Henry  might  provide  the  Lady 
Elizabeth  the  Engliab  bible  whicli  she 
required,  ami  in  the  rest  should  satisfy 
her  with  some  general  good  words  untd 
he  received  further  )TiNlruction8  from 
them. 

Mary  wati  now  on  her  progress  to- 
wards Southampton  to  meet  her  affi- 
anced husband  :  and  hi^r  thoughts  were 
luitu rally  j»reoccupicd  with  the  contem- 
plation of  her  own  prospects.  There 
13  an  interval  of  eleven  days  between 
the  lost  and  our  ne^it  document.  In 
this  interval,  it  apijearg  that  Elizabeth 
again  wrote  to  her  sister,  with  what 
result  will  be  «een  when  the  subject  is

evcD  grass.  She  and  Maximin  were 
tboui  to  jiroceed  to  the  cattle  in  order 
to  bring  them  back,  when  she  saw 
ft  light  in  the  phice  where  they  had 
slept ;  and  said  to  Maximin,  '*  t'omc 
looK  %%  the  light  below  there,"  and 
immetiliitoly  ^he  saw  a  woman.  Mela- 
nia  wa«  so  frightened  thnt  she  almost 
dropped  her  staff,  but  Maximin  said  to 
her;  ^*Don*t  be  afraid,  nor  let  your 
ftt4frfj|Ut  for  if  any  one  intends  to  do 
lis  harm,  I  will  strike  them  with  my 
ttftHV"  They  then  aaw  distinctly,  at 
tljc  same  spot  where  they  had  been 
sleeping  a  short  time  before,  a  beauti- 
ful li>thc/i  in  white,  sitting  on 
&  t  Uer  countenance  was 
turn^a  towards  the  south,  and  her  feet 
rested  cm  a  pUoe  where,  in  the  rainy 


season  and  at  the  smelting  of  the  snow 
was  a  little  brook,  but  it  was  now 
quite  dry. 

The  wom*in  restefl  her  elbows  upon 
her  knees,  supporting  her  head  with 
both  hand  •I .  hhe  wept,  and  the  chil- 
dren saw  her  tears.  At  this  sight,  they 
would  have  run  away;  but  the  lady 
arose,  and  advancing  a  few  steps  to- 
wards them,  addressed  them  in  these 
words,  '*Be  not  afraid,  mj  children, 
but  come  nearer."  This  friendly  salu- 
tation banished  fear,  and  they  drew 
nigh  until  they  were  quite  close,  Mela- 
nla  on  her  right  and  Maximin  on  her 
\i*i\.  But  to  follow  the  writer,  the 
minute  description  of  the  lady  must 
now  be  given,  as  related  by  the  chil- 
dren themselve*.  The  "so  beautiful 
lady"  as  they  called  her,  when  they 
kiiew  not  who  she  was,  for  it  scemi  by 
our  author  that  the  sublime  discovery 
was  due  to  minds  better  informed  than 
those  of  poor  peasant  children,  was 
large,  and  of  lolty  stature,  with  a  white 
visage.  Her  whole  person  was  lumi- 
nous, and  the  light  was  about  her  as  a 
garment ;  but  her  face,  particularlj, 
sent  forth  such  great  lustre,  that  the 
children  could  not  look  at  her  very 
lon^.  Upon  her  head  she  wore  n 
moderately  bij:;h  Asmtic  head-dress, 
adorned  with  a  beautiful  diadem,  that 
S(>arklcd  with  many  colours:  it  was 
high,  and  like  a  royal  crown.  Her 
robe  was  white,  of  an  ancienl  form^ 
overlaid  with  golden  pearls,  the  sleeves 
very  broatl,  and  a  royal  mantle  over  it. 
Her  breast  was  bedecked  with  a  white 
kerchief,  having  a  border  composed  of 
many-coloured  flowers.  From  her  neck 
depended  a  golden  chain  about  three 
fingers  broad,  which,  tustened  by  a 
single  snap,  hung  down  as  far  as  the 
girdle.  Another  golden  chaiu,  of  a 
finger *s  breatlth,  was  about  her  neck, 
and  to  this  hung  a  crucifix,  eight  or 
nine  inches  long,  having  the  figure  of 
Jesus  Christ  upon  it.  Beneath  one 
arm  of  the  cross,  hanging  at  the  end, 
was  an  invertetl,  half  open,  pair  of 
pincers ;  and  at  the  other  a  hammer : 
all  these  things  apj>eared  to  be  of  gold, 
only  they  glittered  more  than  that 
metaL  The  shoes  were  white,  adorned 
with  golden  buckles,  garlands  of 
niany-culoure<l  roses  about  thorn  simi- 
lar to  the  neckcloth,  above  and  be- 
low bedecked  with  pearls,  like  the 
dress*    Whibt  she  discoursed  with  the

of  an  antique  pattern.  But  it  is  amua-

of  the  Virgin  hi  the  eontinent^il

festival  the  day  of  the  apparition  was 
the  vigiL  But  I  will  at  present  leave 
criticiiam,  and  pass  on  to  the  didcounje, 
which  ran  thus : — 

I  am  licrt%  my  children,  in  order  to  dc' 
clare  to  yon  some  import  ant  infurmfltion. 
If  my  per>|ik  will  not  obey^  1  atii  cou- 
Mtrained  to  IH  the  arm  of  my  Son  ftill 
heavy  upon  them  ;  then  it  U  &o  strong  wnd 
80  heavy,  that  I  am  aot  able  to  itay  it 
more.  You  niiiit  pray  well  tml  do  good ; 
but  you  will  never  b«  in  a  position  to 
know  how  math  1  have  laboured  for  you. 
If  I  would  that  my  Son  doe«  not  forankc 
you,  and  ^hall  spurfi  you,  then  must  1, 
without  ccasmiT,  pray  for  you  both  ;  hut 
this  is  not  observed  by  you/  Six  dnys  has 
my  Son  given  you  for  Vork,  the  seventh 
bus  he  reserved  fov  himself,  nod  you  will 
not  give  it  to  bim*  One  sees  a  few  women 
only  gn  to  ma^^s,  the  re*t  of  the  |ieople 
work  nil  the  Sunrtny  in  >nromcr  ;  but  they 
go  to  tlie  church  in  the  iviitler,  when  they 
don't  know  wbwt  to  do;  tluis  they  ouly  du 
it  in  order  to  in«ke  the  religion  of  my  Son 
a  mockery »  They  put  »touc»  m  their 
pockets,  to  throw  at  the  girU,  when  they 
go  to  church.  Also,  wljen  driving  wag- 
gons in  the  open  itrt-utA,  they  swear  so 
much,  tbtit  every  momeat  they  revile  my 
Son*s  nnme.  These  arc  the  two  things 
which  baa  drown  doiro  upon  you  the 
wholt*  weight  of  my  Son's  arm.  Dnring 
the  whole  Lent,  Friday  and  Sutiirdiiy,  oil 
the  people  go  to  the  shambles  like  dogs. 
Tbcy  get  out  of  bed,  and  It^-  down  to  sleep, 
wilbout  thinking  of  Gudp  without  ever 
rvcr  offering  a  prayer     If  tho  potatoes 


be  destroyed,  it  is  on  account  of  the 
sins. 

Here  "Our  Lady,"  having  dis- 
coursed in  Frenebi  was  not  quite  un 
derstood  by  Melanin,  so  she  condo- 
sccnde^i  to  rej>eftt  her  words  in  the 
dialect  or  patois  of  La  Salette,  She 
then  held  a  short  discourse  on  the 
Buhject  of  the  potnlo  disease,  with 
Maximin,  foretelling  a  still  further 
visitation  ;  and  from  this  she  proceeded 
to  discuss  the  subject  of  discaFed  or 
blighted  wheat,  reminding  Maximin  of 
a  pns.Hngc  in  his  life,  when,  in  a  time 
of  scarcity,  he  received  some  bread 
from  his  fatiier  with  a  sorrowful  ex- 
presaion,  foreboding  want.  It  seems 
ibis  knowledge  of  the  past  made  so 
strong  an  ini[iression  upon  the  youth, 
that  he  at  once  turned  from  **  a  had 
Cbristijin  to  a  good  Catholic." 

llic  "  Lndy"  continued  her  di 
couree  by  threatening  that  if  "  ihtt^ 
people  did  ntit  turn  back**  Irnm  their^ 
ways,  that  the  wheat  would  be  de- 
stroye<l  hko  the  potaioei*,  and  whii% 
wna  not  so  destroyed  would  be  given 
up  to  worms  and  insects.  Then  was 
to  ensue  a  gi-eat  Jamine,  of  so  tcrriblo 
a  character  thtit  chiblren,  under  seven 
years  of  age,  should  die  in  the  arm* 
of  their  nurses.  Then  nuts  would  be 
destroyed  by  maggots^  and  disease  at- 
tack the  vineyards ;  but  if  the  peopl© 
repented,  then  would  rock  and  moun* 
tarn  increase  with  its  fruit,  and  the 
field  yiehl  its  corn  and  potato. 
"  Now  my  children,"  said  she,  **  make 
this  known  to  all  my  people."  She 
then  questioned  them  sk&  to  thetr 
prayers  f^^i*^  finiling  them  rather  lax 
on  this  jxiint  gave  them  some  direc- 
tions for  a  Paler  and  Ave  occasionally « 
and  added  some  special  counsel.  Af- 
terwards whe  arose,  and  stepped  across 
the  brook;  then  turninj^  towarda  the 
children,  enjoined  obeilieuce  to  her 
commumls,  and  repeated  her  injunc- 
tions to  nnike  them  known  to  all. 

She  then  be;;an  to  ascend  a  littlo 
hill,  stepping  e?o  lightly  on  the  point  of 
the  grass  a^*  not  in  the  leaftt  ilo^rce  to 
bend  it  down*  WbiUt  on  the  hill,  she 
arose  alnmt  four  feet  high  from  the 
earth,  nnd  renniined  pendent  for  a 
moment,  looking  rifjht  and  let\;  then 
she  disappeared.  This,  however,  was 
very  j^radual,  for  the  head  went  firat, 
then  the  bandij^  then  the  body,  and  jit 
la*Jt  the  feet.    The  place  she  bad  loft

^ 
^ 


waif  filled  with  a  coluino  of  light,  sliiu- 
iike  the  sun,  which  the  children 
AsceDding  far  up  into  heaven, 
until  lost  m  the  pure  oluo  sky.  The 
apparition  lasted  about  half  an  bouiN 

Now  it  appears  that  the  chlhlrcn  did 
not  jet  know  the  quality  of  the  lady, 
although  of  couree  they  imagined  her 
to  be  something  holy.  But  on  the 
following  morning  they  communicated 
the  affair  to  the  curnte  of  La  8a- 
letle.  Moos,  Peytard,  who  narrated  the 
ftory  to  the  dwellers  of  the  vicinity, 
and  it  was  unanimoiuly  agreed  that 
the  lady  decked  wiih  a  royal  crown 
could  be  no  other  than  the  Blessed 
Virgin ;  and  so  it  went  from  mouth  to 
mouth»  and  the  children  related  to  all 
the  miraculous  event. 

Little  crittei^ui  is  needed  in  re- 
Yiewing  the  bare  facts  here  related* 
Whether  it  be  del  usion,  or  fraud,  or  both, 
is  not  a  matter  of  much  importance  to 
determine.  The  weak  parts  of  the 
story  are  such  as  betray  an  endeavour 
to  prove  too  much,  by  entering  into 
Dunute  and  elaborate  details.  The 
mode  of  vanishing  by  de-grees ;  the 
passing  over  the  grass  without  bending 
It ;  the  Asiatic  head-dress  and  anticjue 
nabe:  and  the  general  picture  given, 
suggest  a  strong  i»ui^picIon  that  our 
friend  the  cur«  had  rather  over-ex- 
erted hia  Imagination,  The  children 
appear  to  be  of  ncrvou^j  tem(>eraments ; 
Melania  is  described  as  a  very  fearful 
giri|  and  Maximin  has  a  restless  habit 
of  twitching  his  eyes  about,  and  always 
moving  liis  hands ;  it  U  also  very  sug- 
giestive  of  con^euuence^,  that  they  bad 
both  recently  slept,  perhaps  dreamt. 
But«  lest  I  should  be  considered  as  en* 
deavouring  to  account  for  a  <itory  I  do 
not  think  worth  the  trouble,  I  shall 
at  once  leave  it  in  the  handa  of  my 
readers  to  settle  it  in  their  own  way* 

Miracles  of  all  kinds,  of  course,  con- 
firm the  truth  of  the  story,  and  why 
thould  not  La  Sulette  be  e4[ually 
famous  as  "  Our  Lady  of  HaV  or  of 
Einsietllen,  or  Altoting ;  or  of  those 
in  France,  at  Nancy,  at  Puy,  &c*  all 
of  whom  have  been  famous  in  miracles* 
Let  it  Huiljce,  that  thousands  of  pil- 
grimii  viait  the  sacred  spot  to  hear  the 
words  of  thci  **  beautiful  lady"  from 
the  lips  of  the  two  children  ;  and,  on 
the  3lBt  May,  1847,  more  than  six 
thousand  are  said  to  have  been  pre- 
fent|  and  sung  psalms  an<l  hymns  in 


honour  of  the  Virgin.  All  the  people, 
before  so  wicked,  now  leave  olf  swear- 
ing and  cursing,  and  working  on  the 
Sunday ;  but  how  far  such  piety  ex- 
tends, whether  it  be  confined  to  the 
vicinity  or  no,  is  not  stated*  Certain 
it  is,  that  working  on  the  Sunday  is 
no  uncommon  thing  in  Franco,  or  in 
the  neighbouring  countries;  and  swear- 
ing assumes  a  volubility  in  mouths 
even  above  the  rank  of  peasants,  that 
is  not  particuhirly  edifying* 

The  great  triumph  of  La  Salette 
was  the  first  anniversary  of  the  mira- 
culous appearance.  On  tins  occasion, 
19tb  September,  1847,  according  to  our 
authority,  no  less  than  sixty  thousand 
persons,  of  nil  ages,  visited  the  sacred 
spot.  Numbering  a  multitude,  even 
to  practised  eyes,  is  at  uU  times  a 
matter  of  difficidty,  but  we  have  many 
precedents  tor  such  large  assemblages 
at  religious  shrines.  During  the  night 
of  the  18th  it  is  computed  that  two 
thousand  were  in  the  immediate  vi- 
cinity of  the  spot  without  any  slielter, 
and  "  their  piety  ns  well  as  their 
health,'*  as  the  writer  observes,  was 
proved  by  a  heavy  storm  of  rain  which 
tell.  At  three  o'clock  in  the  morning 
fifty  priests,  with  the  cure  of  La  Sa- 
lette, proceeded  to  the  consecration  of 
the  chapel,  and  at  four  o'clock  was  the 
first  mass;  but  the  press  of  new 
arrivals  was  so  great  that  at  eleven 
o  clock  the  performance  of  the  mass 
could  no  longer  be  continued.  The  curd 
of  the  cathedral  church  of  Grenoble 
declares  he  never  saw  so  imposing  a 
sight,  not  at  the  return  of  the  Bour- 
bons, of  Napoleon  from  Elba,  nor  at 
the  anniversary  of  the  festival  of  the 
Dedication  of  the  Cha|>el  of  Our  Lady 
of  Elusicdlen;  nor  even  at  the  eu- 
thronization  of  Pope  Pius  IX;  "and 
yet,'*  says  he,  "  here  were  only  two- 
thirds  of  the  pilgrims  present,''  and  ho 
numbers  the  residue  at  twenty  thousand 
more,  making  eighty  thousand  iu  all. 
These  arc  the  bare  facts  of  the  story, 
and  I  will  here  leave  it,  and  proceed 
with  some  illustrations,  by  giving  a 
few  examples  which  the  religious  his- 
tory of  the  Middle  Ages  afford  of  ap- 
paritions of  t!ic  Virgin  Mary,  Tne 
theological  part  of  the  question  it  in- 
volves is  far  less  interesting  than  that 
which  affects  the  human  mind,  which 
is  so  prone  to  cherish  delusions,  and  to 
bold  them  with  a  tenacity  seldom  ac*

Supposed  Apparitions  of  the  Virgin. 


[Jan. 


corded  to  deuionBtrativc  truths.  It 
will  not  Batisfjr,  to  denounce  all  the 
narratives  as  mere  frauds;  delusions 
they  were,  without  doubt,  and  we  have 
instances  at  the  nrcsent  time,  in  re- 
ganl  to  the  si)iritual  communings 
through  the  me<lium  of  tables,  which 
presents  us  with  phenomena,  tending 
to  explain  how  easv  cre<lence  can  be 
ffiven  to  the  most  absurd  an<l  contra- 
dictory wanderings  of  a  heated  iina- 
fination.  The  first  story  I  shall  pro- 
uce  is  that  of  St.  Andrew  the  Car- 
melite, Bishop  of  Fiesole. 

He  was  of  the  noble  family  of  Cor- 
sini,  and  when  his  mother  was  pregnant 
of  him  she  had  a  dream,  that  she  would 
bring  forth  a  tcttlf  instead  of  a  man, 
but  who,  having  cntere<l  a  church, 
should  afterwards  become  a  lamb.  Tliis 
dream  is  thought  to  have  been  ful- 
filled, for  the  boy  grew  up,  and  was 
diligently  educated,  and  became  very 
dear  to  his  parents;  but,  as  he  ad- 
vanced towanis  manhood,  he  began  to 
train  dogs,  and  purchase  horses,  and 
quite  freed  himself  from  all  parental 
restraint.  So  one  day,  it  happened, 
that  his  mother  met  him,  and  said  to 
him :  **  You  are  the  wolf  that  I  dreamt 
I  should  bea^  ;**  at  which  wonls,  the 
youth  became  so  shocked  that  he  re- 
pented, and  at  once  cnterc<l  into  the 
order  of  Carmelites,  so  he  became  a 
latnb.  His  conduct  was  renowned  for 
extreme  humility,  and  at  one  time, 
when  all  the  Corsini  api)ointed  that  he 
should  celebrate  mass,  and  great  pomp 
was  made  in  the  prcr>arations,  St. 
Andrew  withdrew  himself  to  a  convent 
in  the  woods,  seven  miles  distant  from 
the  city,  and  then  devoutly  performed 
his  first  mass,  when  the  Blesscil  Virgin 
l^Iary  appeared  to  him  attended  by 
angels,  and  said  to  him,  ^  Thou  art  my 
servant,  for  I  have  chosen  thee."  The 
devout  servants  of  the  Virgin  have 
frequently  been  honoured  by  especial 
gifts ;  Bonitus  was  one  so  favoured,  and 
the  story  b  not  without  its  suggestions. 
St.  Bonitus  was  Bishop  of  Clermont  in 
the  seventh  century.  He  went  on  a 
pilgrimage  to  Rome,  having  dispensed 
all  ne  had  to  monasteries  and  churches. 
Having  at  length  arrived  there,  ho 
rendered  himself  conspicuous  in  gpod 
works,  and  redeemed  several  captiTes 
which  he  brought  back  with  him.  He 
then  returned  to  Lyons,  and  spent 
four  yean  there  in  good  works :  then 


he  had  a  revelation  of  the  day  of  his 
tleccase,  which  took  place  from  an  at- 
tack of  the  ffout.  But  it  is  said  ke 
re4>*cived  a  celestial  ffarmcot  from  the 
Blcsse<l  Virgin,  whilst  yet  on  earth; 
and  to  prove  the  truth  of  the  story, 
this  garment  was  preserved  in  der- 
moiit  for  the  religious  veneration  of 
the  people;  uud  its  manufacture  and 
material  no  mortal  could  comprehend. 
Now,  here  we  evidently  have  "rhe- 
toric turned  into  logic.  A  celestial 
garment  is  easily  understood  as  the 
reward  of  his  piety.  It  is  not  a  very  - 
forced  metaphor  for  a  legendary,  bA 
producing  an  actual  vestment  to  proye 
Its  truth  is  another  case  of  proving  too 
much. 

The  next  instance  is  from  the  life  of 
St.  Uildephonso,  Bishop  of  Toledo,  in 
the  seventh  century  ;  a  devout  votarv 
of  the  Virgin  Mary,  who  wrote  a  work 
in  her  honour  and  defence  against  the 
heretics.  He  was  famous  for  his  mi- 
racles, and  even,  sajs  a  legendary 
writer,  **the  Holy  Spirit  workei  some 
miracles  by  him,  and  one  of  especid 
significance.  Tlie  day  of  the  Virgin 
MarjT  approaching,  he  performed  the 
litanies  three  days  previous,  and  com- 
posed a  mass  which  is  sung  in  lier 
honour.  Jkloreover,  when  the  solem- 
nity of  the  Assumption  had  arrived, 
he  solicited  the  King,  as  well  as  Uie 
people,  to  this  act  of  grace.  And  al- 
ready before  the  hour  of  matins,  he  had 
arisen  to  perform  his  service  to  the 
Lonl,  with  deacons  and  subdeacons, 
and  the  clergy  goins  before  him  with 
torches ;  when,  behold,  suddenly  open- 
ing the  door,  and  entering  the  church, 
they  found  it  filled  with  a  celestial 
brightness;  at  which  they  were  so 
frightened,  that  dropping  their  torches 
from  their  hands  they  fled  away  with 
precipitation,  returning  to  their  com- 
panions like  so  many  dead  men. 
Anxiously,  indeed,  did  the  whole  as- 
sembly ask,  what  would  be  manifested 
concerning  the  servant  of  God?  "But 
he,"  says  the  legendary,  with  naive 
simplicity,  *'  well  conscious  in  himself^** 
proceeding  to  the  altar  of  the  Blessed 
Virgin,  found  in  the  chair  where  he 
was  accustomed  to  sit,  "Our  Lady" 
herself  sitting ;  and,  raising  his  eyes, 
he  found  the  whole  circuit  of  the  apse 
filled  with  a  choir  of  virgins,  who  sung 
a  part  of  the  Psalms  of  David,  wiA 
great  sweetness ;  and  afierwards  look-

■tance  recorded  of  the  common  prac- 
tice of  erecting  chundies,  or  monastic 
structures,  on  isitei*  where  ancient  wor- 
ship, or  the  tradition  of  it,  remainmL 
It  was  without  doubt  one  ol'  the  most 
cflicacicvus  meaos  of  weaning  the  mindB 
of  the  common  people  from  popular 
worship  or  superstition,  which  lives 
K)  long  in  the  habits  and  customs  of  a 
oation. 

In  the  life  of  Saint  Lutgard,  a  virgin 
iftin*  ■'  *'  ■  rint,  we  have  an  account 
of  1  «ait  <»f  the  Blessed  Virgin, 

whim  [  '-^  '  Jinalogy  to  that  of  La 

Saletfe.  as  she   appears  in 

'  to  ■:. J...-. a  of  the  sins  of  the 

pic,    J  t  was  the  period  of  the  here.«y 


of  the  unfortunate  AlbigenRes,  when 
the  Virgin   Mary,   with    a   sorrowful 
countenance,  appeared  to  Saint  Lut- 
gard,  who  was  at  that  time  in  a  con- 
vent of  the   order  of  Cistercians,  at 
Aouiria.     The  saint  addressed  hei'self  i 
to  her,  retpcdting  to  know  what  might 
be   the   reason   of  the  pallor  of  her 
cheek,  which  was  usuafty  so   replete 
with  every  grace?  when  the  Bleaaed  , 
Virgin  replied  :  "  Behold  !  my  Son  is 
again  spat   ou   and   crucified  by  th^ 
heretics    and  false   Christians:  makft 
therefore    to    thyself  a    lament^   and 
fast   for   seven  successive  years,  that 
the  wrath  of  ray  son  may  be  appcasedj 
which   now   threatens    the    universal 
globe."     Saint  Lutgard  observed  this  | 
fast  very  strictly,  living  on  bread  and  , 
ale  only ;  and  after  it  was  completeij 
another    revelation    enjoined    her  to  j 
fast  yet  another   seven  years  for  aH 
sinner.*** 

In  the  history  of  the  Khrine  of  "Our  I 
Lady  of  Bouh>gne,"   we   find   it   re- 
corded that  the  Virgin  Mary  appeared  < 
to  the   inhabitants  whilst  they  werti  i 
praying  in  the  church,  and  informed  I 
them    of  the    miraculousf    arrival    of  1 
her  image,  and  of  her  desire  to  have  ft  [ 
more  sumptuous  church  L»rected  to  he#  j 
honour.     Indeed  similar  stories  to  the  | 
above,  taken  at  ran  Jom,  ai'c  very  com- 
mon in  medieval  hi.^tory*  and  to  nifpiire  I 
into  their  truth  or  falsehood  would  be  i 
a  wa.*?ie  of  labour.     Cesarius,  the  monk*  ^ 
of  Heisterbach,   relates   so  many  in*  i 
stances  of  the   Virgin  Mai-y^ft  conde*  i 
sccnsion  in  frcfpient  apparitions,  thai  j 
in  bis  (lay  it  must  have  been  an 
currcnce  too  common  to  have  seemeil  | 
to  a  Ctstercirm  (tor  Cejarius  was  of 
their  order)  anything  out  of  the  or*| 
dinary   course  of  thmgs.     The   Cis* 
tercian  order  was  under  the  peculiaf  j 
patronage   of  the  Virgin   Mary,  andj 
therefore  the  predilection   shown   b^^j 
this  worthy  monk  can  be  accountea] 
for.    It  is  agreeable  to  see  how  tho^l 
roughly  he  was  perstmded  of  the  trutli 
of  that  which  he  records*    The  follow^  1 
ing  story,  of  which   I  give  the  sub-] 
stance,  is  one  of  the  most  amusing  fop] 
its  illnstrationR  of  the  foregoing  re*

Supposed  Appariiiotu  of  the  Virgin. 


[Jan. 


pbeU,  apofltles,  martjrrd,  and  confes- 
sors, and  divers  of  the  monastic  onlcra 
— ^but  not  the  Cistercian.  So  he  ad* 
dressed  himself  humblj  to  the  Blessed 
Virgin  herself,  inquiring,  with  a  groan, 
whj  he  saw  none  of  thein,  the  moijt  de- 
TOted  of  her  senrants?  Seeing  him 
disturbed,  the  Qaeen  of  Heaven  re- 
plied, *  So  belove<l  of  me  are  those  of 
the  Cistercian  order,  that  I  cherish 
them  under  my  arms.*  And  thercbj 
the  opened  her  mantle,  which  was  *  of 
wonderful  amplitude,*  and  he  saw  there 
an  innumerable  number  of  monks  and 
nuns  of  his  order.  The  monk  was 
full  of  joj,  and  related  to  his  abbot 
what  he  had  seen.** 

He  relates  a  pretty  storr  of  a  djring 
convert,  that  is,  one  who  had  but  just 
entered  the  order.  It  is  interesting, 
from  a  quotation  from  Virgil ;  and 
Cesarius  tells  us  he  had  the  narrative 
from  the  lips  of  a  monk  present.  The 
convert  was  a  native  of  Friesland,  and 
his  name  was  Pavo.  In  his  extreme 
mortal  agon  j  be  began  to  smile.  ^  Pavo, 
whj  doyou  lau^h  r  **  said  one  standing 
by.  "WhynotUugh?**  said  he.  "Be- 
hold *  Our  Lady  *  is  present,  and  will 
now  receive  my  soul.**  The  writer 
then  observes  that  he  seemed  to  fullil 
the  poet*8  words : 

Indpe  pure  pner,  risa  cogno9C«re  Hatrem. 

A  similar  storv  is  told  of  a  nun  at 
the  church  of  Saint  Maurice,  at  Co- 
logne, who  in  her  dying  hour  called 
out  **  Welcome,  my  sweet  Lady,  wel- 
come I**  In  another,  we  find  the  Virgin 
condescends  to  administer  an  electuary 
to  the  monks,  but  omits  to  give  it  to 
the  physician,  who,  though  a  monk, 
was  too  frequently  away  from  his  mo- 
nastery; and  to  use  "Our  Lady*s'' 
words,  preferred  his  own  medicaments 
to  hers :  of  course  he  was  led  back 
from  the  error  of  his  ways. 

Those  who  have  made  the  tour  of 
the  Rhine  will  not  have  forgotten  the 
Seven  mountains  which  constitute  the 
principal  feature  in  the  opening  of  the 
scenery.  One  of  the  first  approached 
is  called  the  Petersberg,  ana  on  the 
summit  is  a  little  chapel  which  is  just 
visible  from  the  river.  In  the  valley 
behind  this  are  the  ruins  of  the  Abbey 
of  Heisterbach,  the  retreat  of  the  monk 
Ciesarius.  A  nun  named  Christina,  of 
the  Cistercian  order,  lived  at  the  con- 
vent on  the  monDt  or  hill  of  St.  Wal- 
2 


purgis,  which  I  believe  to  be  that  now 
calle^l  Petersberg.  She  was  much 
favourc<l  by  revelations.  "It  was 
the  Feast  of  the  Assumption :  Abbot 
Eustace,  with  many  others,  was  pre- 
sent, and  when  he  came  to  the  hymn, 
Te  Deum  lamdawnu^  the  said  nun  went 
in  to  an  ecstacy,  and  saw  Heaven  opened. 
At  that  time  the  oratory  was  of  wood, 
but  it  appeared  to  her  to  have  both 
fronts  of  gold.  lUising  her  eves,  she 
saw  *  the  glorious  MoU^  of  God,  pa- 
tron of  our  whole  order,*  sitting  in  a 
splendid  seat  with  a  multitude  of  saints, 
who  seemed  of  the  age  of  five-and- 
twenty.  When  the  choir  of  monks  in- 
clining devoutly,  sang  Sanctus,  Sanchu^ 
Sanctus^  Domimts  Deus  Sabaoihy  that 
most  Blessed  Virgin,  congratulating 
their  devotion,  sent  down  a  crown  (M 
wonderful  beauty  by  a  golden  chain, 
Much  tu  are  accustomed  to  hang  in 
churches;  but  in  place  of  the  fasten- 
ing, was  a  very  precious  and  lucid 
gem,  on  which  was  written  O  demens^ 
O  pia,  O  dmlcis  Maria.  From  this  gem 
proceeded  three  small  arms,  which  held 
the  depending  corona.  But  from  the, 
name  of  Mary,  certain  rays  going  forth, 
illumined  the  names  of  each  monk  at 
that  time  in  the  choir,  all  of  which 
seemed  written  about  the  circuit  of  the 
corona.  In  these  names  there  was 
great  inequality,  both  in  position  and 
brilliancy,  because  on  account  of  the 
quality  of  the  merits  so  was  the 
brightness  of  the  names,  and  the 
names  of  those  who  had  come  at  a 
more  recent  time  seemed  to  be  su- 
perior to  those  who  had  laboured  long 
m  the  order.  From  which  it  was 
gathered,  that  the  merit  of  those  serv- 
mg  the  Lord  did  not  consist  in  the 
length  of  time,  nor  in  the  labour  of 
the  body,  but  rather  in  fervour  of  de- 
votion. But  when  it  came  to  that 
part :  In  te  Doming  speraci^  non  con* 
fundur  in  eternum^  she  withdrew  the 
crown  to  heaven,  saying,  *  As  I  to- 
day am  in  ray  glory,  so  all  these 
shall  be  with  me  for  ever.*  When 
nothing  of  this  was  known  among 
us,  Theodcric  of  Lurckc,  our  monk, 
going  in  the  morning  to  our  Lord 
Henry  the  Abbot,  he  confessed  to 
him,  that  on  that  same  most  holy 
night  he  was  not  able  to  have  any 
devotion  before  they  came  to  the  afore- 
said  hymn,  *  Sanctus^'  &c.  Of  which 
fact  he  much  marvelled,  when  the

lYtojoa  was  rclttted  to  him/*  The 
*  writer  proceeds  to  narrate  how  that 
Kune  nun,  before  she  entered  their 
order,  was  one  d aj  at  mass,  and  the 
cta^ifmrhis  loft  the  church  while  the 
go;it>cd  was  read,  thinking  he  would  be 
buck  in  time  for  the  resfjonses ;  but  he 
fjiled  :  and  the  nun  heard  a  voice  from 
Uitf  intagc  of  the  Vir|jiu  performing 
that  ofliee.  WilJi  this  I  shall  conie  to 
»  conclusion.  As  m  the  description 
oftlio  Virgin  at  Salette,  we  find  here 
that  the  nun*s  virion  waa  very  earthly, 
nnd  the  cvn>mt  k  even  alluded  to  as 
like  ikiit  *'  hung  up  in  churches." 

llie  medieval  stories  certainly  have 
tW  advajjta^^e  of  heiu^  ni\ich  more 
»;;n?eiiblc  than  those  of  later  date. 
Monks  lived  in  a  charmed  circle  ;  to 
them  Ti$igu3  were  as  realities,  and  so 


treated  :  r.nil  all  the  ordinary  occur- 
rences and  accidents  of  life  were  sur- 
rounded by  mystery  and  mnrvcL  Evil 
spirits  were  as  frequently  attendajit 
upon  their  silent  hours  as  good  ones,  and 
to  invoke  the  assistance  and  protection 
of  the  latter  was  a  pious  duty.  Mo- 
dern stories  of  miraculous  events  have 
not  the  naive  simplicity  of  the  ancient 
ones;  they  seem  tu  en<lcavour  to  get  too 
many  details  in  order  to  prove  truth ; 
but  by  their  assiduity  they  expose 
their  materials  too  much  to  criticism. 
La  Salette  may  in  some  measure  bo 
cliisscd  with  the  t:iles  of  Ctesarius,  but 
the  latter  tella  his  stories  as  if  he  be- 
lieves them  ;  and  in  that  he  gives  a 
lesson  that  may  not  be  disadvantageous 
at  the  present  time. 


SIR  WALTER  RALEIGH  AT  SHERBORNE. 

{Continttfdjjom  Magazine f^r  Nmcmber^ page  443.) 


WE  believe  that  a  fair  idea  of  the 
f  ordinary  8t^u*  Chamber  pro- 
Is  not  generally  liiitertaiued, 
until  the  publication  of  Mr. 
&'«  oble  history  of  the  court  in  the 
ajolo^^ia  (vol.  xxv.),  information 
u  the  fcubjec't  was  not  very  acces- 
The  name  of  this  court  has  been 
lircly  associated  with  all  that  is 
upt  and  unjust  in  [triiiciple,  and 
cruel  to  the  last  degree  in  nriictice, 
thitt  it  bus  lung  since  pjsseci  into  a 
by -word;  and  many  of  our  r  Leaders 
wilt  learn  with  surprise  that  it  was  ex- 
tern*; vely  resorted  to  by  private  indi- 
i-iduuls  lis  an  oinlinary  c(mrt  of  equity. 
Th*2  excellent  theory  of  its  constitution, 
that  tt  aJfurded  a  remedy  for  wrongs 
which  the  law  could  not  rectily,  and 
estiiblished  rights  which  couhl  not  be 
otherwise  obtainetl,  wa«  soon  perverted 
to  direct  i n ter ft; runce  with  the  ordinary 
course  of  law.  For  this  purpose  the 
machinery  of  the  court  olVered  many 
facilities,  and  its  judges  wore  exposed 
to  all  kinds  of  **  pressure  from  with- 
out.** So  extensive  was  its  gi*asp  that 
no  oOeoce  in  which  life  w.is  not  in- 
Yolvcd  was  above  it*  ken,  and  so  power- 
ful its  authority^  that  no  privilege  could 
checic  its  proceedings ;  it  was,  iiide4*d, 
■■  a  terrible  tuaehlne  for  the  gratification 
H    of  Dotitical  and  personal  revenge. 

Cardinal  Wolsey  is  saiil  to  have  la- 
CWT.  Mao.  Vol.  XLL 


bourcd  hard  to  extend  its  operation* 
in  the  direction  originally  designed 
for  them ;  and,  judging  from  the 
number  of  the  proceedings  6till  iu 
existence,  the  court  seems  to  have 
been  pretty  generally  used  Irom  his 
time.  But  the  equitable  branch  of  our 
jun^prudence  had  not  then  assumed  a 
settled  shape.  The  royal  council  was 
the  source  of  all  such  jurisilictlon,  and 
in  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth  its 
authority  was  shared  among  the  courts 
of  Chancery,  Star -Chamber,  and  Re- 
quests. It  would  be  easy  to  adduce 
numerous  Instances  of  suits  in  all  those 
courts  which  present  no  distinct  cha- 
racteristics, and  which,  from  their  na- 
ture, might  be  assigned  to  either  court 
without  impropriety.  That  the  na- 
ture of  the  Star-Chambcr  court  did 
not  frighten  away  suitors  is  evident 
from  the  fact  that  for  the  reign  of 
Queen  Elizabeth  alone  there  still  exist 
the  proceedings  in  nearly  20,000  suits, 
and  there  are  perhaps  as  many  of  the 
Court  of  Requests.  They  contain  a 
mine  of  curious  and  valuable  inlbrma- 
tion  hitherto  almost  unwrought,  though 
the  suits  arc  chielly  between  ordinary 
individuals,  and  relate  to  mat  tern  of  a 
l>ersoniil  and  ])rivatc  kind.  Few  of  the 
great  victims  of  the  injustice  and  cruelty 
of  the  court  will  be  found  among  them. 
We  must  now  return  to  the  case  of

And  yet,  iievcrthcles,  the  sayde  dcf* 
Myth  that  yt  was  noe  newe  or  straunge

ceedinges  aga'mste  him  at  thassieos  and 
quarter  sessions  in  the  country  ;  nether 
did  the  country  ioc  greatly  dislyke  of  such 
stockioge  of  the  said  compl*  as  he  pleadeth. 
But  contrary  wise  the  people  of  the  country 
soe  much  rejoyced  thereat  that  at  a  place 
called  Yetmyster^  neerc  Sherborne  afore- 
said, upon  knowledge  thereof  to  them 
gyven,  sa  this  defend^  hath  bene  credtblie 
enformed,  tbey  went  ymeadiatly  to  the 
churche  and  did  rynge  owte  the  bells. 

And  Yet  minster  not  then  having 
mei  encjugh  there  to  ring  all  the  bella, 
the  women  helped  them  to  ring  **  for 
joy  that  soe  lewde  a  companyon  was 
soe  justly  j>onyshed,  bcinge  a  man  in 
their  judgm*  soe  infamouse  that  they 
collide  not  sufficiently  rejoyce  at  bis 
fill!/'  Instances  of  Meere*^  depraved 
disposition  arc  then  given;  Morp^n 
says  be  is  known  to  nave  been  often 
times  before  set  in  the  stocks ;  manv 
times  committed  to  the  common  gaol, 
and  bound  to  good  behaviour  '*  for  hiii 
many  owtragcs  done  against  the  neace 
and  qoyett  government  of  thiarcalmc;" 
he  has  received  the  queen*8  pardon 
for  "dymyniahinge"  the  coin  ;  be  has 
often  been  "  questioned  in  this  honor* 
able  corte"  for  forgeries,  and  com- 
mitted to  the  Fleet  therefrom.  Sub- 
sequent to  all  this,  viz.  on  last  Christ- 
mas Day  twelvemonth,  he  intruded 
during  divine  service  into  a  seat  in 
Sherborne  Church  with  John  Stocker, 
esq*  now  yheriilt  and  placed  a  servant 
of  his,  a  common  drunkard,  in  another 
chief  6cat  of  the  churchy  and  his  wife 
in  a  scat  he  hud  newly  erected,  whicFi 
was  shortly  after  taken  down  by  order 
from  the  ordinary  of  the  diocese. 

Edward  Standen  gives  a  long  expla- 
nation about  tlie  Vtargaining  between 
Raleigh  jind  Meere  for  the  copyhold 
tenements.  This  property  had  been 
underlet  by  Meere  to  John  Leaves, 
upon  whose  death  bis  widow  had  a 
right  to  tt  renewal  on  paying  a  fine. 
Standen  seems  to  have  wanted  tbo 
holding,  Meere  desired  to  get  it  again 
into  his  bands,  and  Raleigh  had  also  a 
similar  wish,  if  even  he  had  not  been 
prompting  Standen  throughout.  Meero 
seems  to  have  told  Standen  he  had 
better  marry  the  widow,  and  so  obtain 
her  goodwill  in  the  tenements ;  but, 
by  his  connection  with  her  before  that 
ceremony  was  performed,  be  contended 
that  the  widow*s  right  was  forfeited,  ns 
was  the  custom  in  many  manors.  Stanr

Sir  Widler  Raleigh  at  Sherborne,

'  murtbcr  inee,  and  hatli  pro- 

mL^c<l  ihee  a  panlon  ;  but  when  1  am 

dd,  he  will  sufler  thee  to  be  hanged 

_      haUi  don  the  rei*t."     Deane  tlieii 

^lIlT'^  ^"    ^    'jcr,  but  Mccrc  retired  to 

hb  I  on  looking  oat  of  the 

wiju i  .  ..ije  told  him  he  had  a"tt^g 

for  him  in  hh  pockott,"  meanin|5a  war- 
rant for  his  arrest,  but  Meere  thought 
he  meant  the  dagger.  The^e  remarks 
of  Mecrc  were  refforted  to  Sir  George 
Trenchanl  and  other  justices ;  but  the 
witness  did  not  know  if  they  were  to 
the  Privy  Council,  though  he  lieard 
ilc^re  was  ?ent  for  by  a  pursuivant. 
llthotigH  It  does  not  seem  to  have 
very  prominently  brought  for- 
irard,  us  indeed  it  would  not  be  con- 
sidering Meere  was  here  eomplaiimut, 
iVi  '  ubt  that  in  the  course  of 

thr  Italeigh  had  been  touched 

y  tender  point.  After  the 
tic  circumstances  of  their  early 
ion,  and  what  Ruleigli  had  sul- 
itccount  of  hif;  passionate  and 
Attachment  to  his  valued  wife, 
It  could  fcarce  Ite  brooked»  that,  in 
sharing  his  retirement  from  courtly 
trouble*  and  jealousies,  her  name  should 
iJje  public  subject  of  idle  talk,  anil 
ipoken  "  undecently "  of  from  a 
leiit ;  but  so  it  was. 
Meere*s  wile,  according  to  her  hus- 
btind*«  admission,  was  heard  by  Wil- 
liam Swcete  at  "aboute  Piaster  last 
was  twelve  monelh  "  to  bo  talking  out 
of  a  casement  of  her  house  with  Wil- 
liam Dean,  one  of  Kaleigh'a  servants, 
AJid  to  **  speake  undecent  wordes  con- 
ceniing  the  Lady  lialegh.'' 

Meere  hims^elf  seems  to  have  been 
grctttjy  ahinne*i  at  this,  for  he jpre-'ieutly 
rebuked  his  wife,  and,  when  Dean  said 
he  would  call  witnesses  to  the  word?, 
said  thai  hehiujselfwouldbearwitnciis 
that  his  wife  had  s|>oken  ibolishly.  A 
••  noatc  of  the  same  wordes  "  scemtj  to 
have  beerj  drawn  up  by  Dolbcrry, 
i»rabab1y  for  the  purfjose  of  procced- 
itigupon,  and  some  ofMecre's  inter- 
itoTioa  are  framed  to  ascertain 
thcr  other  words  than  those  ust^d 
his  wife  had  not  been  introduced  in 
the  note. 

Having  gone  through  all  that  was 
laid  in  reply  to  Mecre*s  complaint,  we 
iniss  the  answer  of  the  principal  de- 
fendant. Raleigh  tlid  not  choose  to 
reply;   and  Mr»  Collier  is  doubtless 


i:^ 


The  humble  petidoti 
of  John  Mecrc.

shown  by  the  following  petition  (which 
was  uddrcssed  to  the  Court  of  Star 
Chandler,  or  the  C<»uncil  generally), 
that  Raleigh  should  be  compelled  to 
answer  forthwith.     It  is  without  date.

Ulctr  respective  circumstances,  WiUiaui 
Mccre  u\s  grandfather,  when  be  died, 
**wait  of  euch  welth  that  yf  all  the 
IjMiik^  iitid  jrooiles  ihut  TiUoy  now  hiitb 
had  bene  to  have  bene  sold,  he  had  ben 
able  to  haTe  bou;j;ht  him  out  of  all, 
and  men  of  great  worship  were  be- 
boldcD  to  him  for  money "  As  to 
Meerc*a  early  life,  we  find  that  his 
fiUlier  bad  four  suu5,  ntl  of  whom  he  is 
said  to  have  kept  nt  the  study  of  the 
common  law,  and  all  were  fellows  of 
the  Inner  Tenit)le.  So  that  it  appears 
Sir  WnJtcr  lialeigb  and  his  future 
h  phigue  must  have  been  al- 

ii, vt'-studenta;    at  least  they 

were  residents  in  difl'crcnt  dlvistons  of 
the  same  inn  at  about  the  same  time. 

Speaking  of  his  ancestry »  Meere  in- 
dulges in  a  singular  talc>  whieb  mny 
bave  had  some  foundation  in  fact.  Uia 
first  ancestor  that  came  to  dwell  in 
the  county  of  Dorset  wn.s,  on  account 
of  wars  tn  the  North,  where  ht*  first 
dwelt,  **  driven  to  llye  into  the  co untie 
of  Dorset,  bringinge  with  hitu  a  caskett 
of  gold,"  which  was  kept  by  Mecre*s 

undfather  as  an  "especiall  ihinge"  to 
ifrcs»jrv(^d.    Ue  bought  two  livings, 
t :  ton,  the  other  in  Chawdone. 

:  iierefore,  was  lawyer  enough 
tu  indulge  in  law,  and  not  to  dread 
it  ^  bifi  case  was  certainly  well  got  up, 
and  his  interrogatories  (especially  m 
Iliilcigh*s  affair)  are  a  model  of  the 
forenaic  pleading  of  the  time.  In  ano- 
ther  suit,  comniLMK^etl  five  years  before 
that  agHlD^c  "  '  "  \.  but  j?ome  years 
after  bis  i  r  by  him,  Meere 

speaks  of  mi  <>un  circumstances  as 
**  decayed,"  and  of  the  court  of  Star- 
chamber  ad  a  coiu't  of  "  such  charge  *' 
tliat  the  person  of  whom  he  com  plained

ar  1 1 J I  I  lays,    Alice  Meere,  the  mother 
of  our  complainant,  chai'ges  him  (in 


1593)  with  some  snd  misdemeanors. 
He  is  said  to  belong  to  the  class  of 
"  solicitors**  to  which  the  auitj  in  that 
court  had  given  rise,  and  to  have  gone 
about  provoking  peojjle  against  each 
other  for  the  sake  of  his  bringin£»  suits 
fur  tbem»  So  lie  had  got  hold  of  Thomas 
Swetnian,  who  is  de&cribed  in  words 
which  would  not  now  be  understood 
in  the  sense  then  conveyed  by  themf 
as  **  a  man  easilie  to  be  wrought  to  put 
in  practice  any  proud  or  glorious  actiott 
w!iat  soever ; '  and  persuaded  him  to 
bring  a  bill  of  complaint  against  Alice 
Ulcere  and  her  sons  Robert  and  John. 
Out  of  this  charge  Dolbcrry  thou<»ht 
something  would  come  to  him,  and  ho 
cared  not  how  his  condition  could  be 
improved,  as  he  wiw  "brought  to  so 
low  an  ebb  as  that  he  ys  not  nble  to 
bringe  meate  to  his  table  but  upon 
borowing  and  chiftinge/*  He  Is  also 
charged  with  being  a  party  to  the  forg- 
ing ol*  certain  finci",  receiving  the  fees 
usually  [mid  for  stich  documents  when 
j^fcriulne.  Besides  a  forma!  objection 
to  the  bill,  Dol berry *3  answer  consists 
of  a  general  plea  of  not  guilty,  con- 
tained in  two  short  lines*  He,  too,  was 
probably  In  needy  circumi^tances  when 
the  state  of  ItaleigVs  dllferences  with 
I^Ieere  caused  him  to  be  taken  by  the 
hand,  His  "making  a  noate*'  of  tbo 
talk  out  of  a  window  by  Mrs.  Meere, 
who  **  belied  a  lady  "  to  one  of  Kaleigh's 
servants,  may  be  worth  comparing  with 
that  of  the  notorious  Dogberry *b  un- 
ravelment  of  the  main  plot  of  **  Much 
Ado  about  Nothing,"  by  bringing  to 
justice  those  who  had  slandered  Hero 
by  similar  means. 

To  such  a  length  have  the  proceed- 
ings theinselved  re<|uired  notice  that 
our  comments  have  been  necessarily 
brief;  but  it  will  be  no  source  of  re- 
gret to  our  ruadertf  that  the  foundation 
has  received  more  attention  than  the

MA^^'ERS  AND  MORALS  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CAMBRIDGE 
DURING  THE  LAST  CENTURY. 

THE  collections  made  by  the  Rev,  fuse,  that,  after  having  been  for  many 

William   Cole  of  Milton  upon  every  years  laid  open  to  public   use,  they 

subject  which  came  in  his  way  that  nave  never  yet  been  fully  explored, 

bad  any  bearing  upon  matters  of  bis-  and  perhaps  never  will  be.  To  arrange 

lory  or  antiquities,  topography  or  bio-  and  digest   their  contents  would  re- 

grajpliy,  are  so  volurmnous  and  so  dif*  quire  a  liJe  equally  industrigiis  with 


24 


Mfxunert  and  Morals  of 


[J. 


Iii.s,  and  a  jiKigment  far  more  com- 
prehenaire  and  diiicriminatiTe.  Nor 
are  ther  as  a  whole  worth  such  troa- 
ble.  Hifl  more  important  niaterialj 
are  intenperaefl  with  many  that  are 
trifling,  an<l  many  merely  formal  and 
nnintereating'locuments.  Almost  any- 
thing that  may  be  derired  from  his 
stores  ref^uirea  to  be  gleaned  from  ae- 
▼eral  volumes  of  this  absolate  library 
of  manuscript,  and  to  be  reiluced  to 
some  proportions  of  form  and  arrange- 
ment by  editorial  care.  These  diffi- 
culties, however,  are  compen:iate«l  by 
the  advantage  of  a  remarkably  plain 
handwriting  and  the  appliances  of  va- 
rious indexes. 

We  arc  sorry  that  no  E^litor  has 
hitherto  had  the  courage  to  undertake 
the  arrangement  of  Cole*s  collections 
for  a  work  correspondent  to  WooiFs 
great  Walhallaof  toe  sister  university. 
— an  ^Athenas  Cantabngienses.*^  >\c 
have  heard  from  time  to  time  of  such 
intentions,  but  we  fear  that  the  enter- 
prise has  ever  anfi  again  proved  too 
arduous  for  ordinary  (>crseverance.  It 
is  a  task  which  would  be  best  accom- 

1>lished  by  the  co-operation  of  more 
abourers  than  one,  and  which  would 
demand,  of  course,  many  other  sources 
of  information  than  those  providetl  by 
Cole. 

One  of  the  most  curious  features  of 
CoIe*s  collections  consists  in  his  details 
of  petty  occurrences,  and  the  gossiping 
anecdotes  of  his  contemporaries,  on 
account  of  the  existence  of  which  his 
manuscript  library  was  for  many  years 
shut  up  from  the  scrutiny  of  his  sur- 
vivors, nicsc  garrulities,  though  they 
may  not  raise  our  estimation  of  the 
moral  qualities  of  their  writer,  who 
certainly  stretched  his  propensities 
both  of  prying  and  of  chronicling  to 
limits  only  exceeded  by  his  cacocthes 
ncriheiidi^  nave  now  become  a  source  of 
information  from  which  may  at  least 
be  gathered  some  general  impressions 
of  the  manners  and  sentiments  of  his 
day,  after  every  allowance  has  been 
made  for  personal  antipathies  and  a 
love  of  scandal  and  detraction. 


In  the  anecdotes  of  hut-century  Vir- 
tuosi which  were  extracted  from  Mr. 
Cohs's  3CSS.  in  our  September  Maga- 
zine, occurred  the  name  of  his  ^  friend** 
Dr.  Ewia.  This  wm  a  person  who, 
from  his  position  as  a  busy  magistrate 
in  the  town  of  Cambridge,  and  other 
circumstances,  appears  to  have  been 
especially  unpopular  among  the  young 
men  of  the  university.  Cule  has  ever 
and  anon  made  entry  in  hij  registers 
of  tlie  attacks  which  were  made  upon 
this  obnoxious  ch:uracter  by  parties 
whose  enmity  or  ill-opinioa  he  had 
excited  by  his  irritability  and  over- 
bearing^ conduct,  and  on  one  oco:kjion 
by  a  ^tdl  more  serious  otTence. 

If  we  take  the  trouble  to  trace  out 
the  history  of  Dr.  Ewin,  it  will  not  be 
in  honour  of  the  individual,  but  in  il- 
lustration of  University  life  and  man- 
ners eighty  years  ago- 

It  appears  that  William  Howell 
Ewio  was  the  representative  of  an  old 
Cambridge  family.  Thomas  Ewen  was 
one  of  the  four  baililis  of  the  corpora- 
tion of  Cambridge  in  147"J.*  John 
Ewin,  who  was  an  alderman  of  Cam- 
briJg.\t  and  dieil  in  Uj68,  had  bjr  his 
first  wife  Joseph  Ewin  of  Cambridge, 
doctor  of  meilicine,  and  by  his  third 
wife  Thomas  Ewin,  who  also  was  alder- 
man of  the  town,  and  died  in  1684. 
Cole  gives  a  jxjdigree  of  the  immetliate 
connections  of  these  parties  ;|  and  in 
the  same  place  he  remarks : 

1774,  May  10.  Dr.  Ewia  quarters  2d 
and  3d,  Az.  a  wolf  saliint  holding  a  plate 
argent,  on  a  chief  gu.  three  towers  arg.  It 
is  false  heraldry  ;  however,  it  was  on  his 
chs.riot  when  he  and  Sir  Walter  Rawltasoa 
drank  tea  with  me  at  Milton.  I  make  no 
doabt  for  Howell,  as  it  is  made  out  of  two 
different  coats  of  that  name.  The  Doctor's 
mother  was  only  child  to  old  Mr.  Howell, 
coal-merchant,  at  Cambridge.  I  heard 
him  say,  a**  1779,  at  Sir  John  Cotton's 
table  at  Madingley,  that  his  ancestor  was 
a  qaack  doctor  at  ilavcrilL 

The  name  of  "  Thomas  Ewin  of 
Ilaveril  in  Essex  **  stands  at  the  head 
of  the  pedigree,  though  the  Doctor's 
descent  is  not  completely  traced  out.

ft  appears,  however,  from  anotlicr  of 
Cole  4i  notos  that  hb  father^s  name  Wiis 
ThotuAS,  who  acquired  a  consiilerable 
fortune  aa  a  brewer  in  Citmbridge. 
Cole  has  left  bttu  tiie  following  cha- 

Utis  Mr.  Tho.  Ewio,  formcrlj  a 
grocer,  «iid  latterly  a  brewer,  in  partner- 
fthip  with  Mr.  Sparks,  w/u  a  very  COQ- 
ceited  and  litigious  man.  Hts  actjuired  a 
vtfj  large  fortune,  wUich  lie  left  to  bfs 
•on,  now  a  brcwr r  m  Cambridge,  but  who 
was  educated  a  pensioner  in  St.  John's 
College.  Mr  Ewlq  was  a  most  zealous 
son  of  the  Church  of  Engbnd,  of  the 
highmt  form  :  hardly  ever  mU^ed  goiug 
twice  a  day  on  Sunday  to  his  own  parish 
church  of  St*  Sepulchre,  in  which  pariah 
he  bad  a  good  house  ;  twice  to  St.  Mary's 
to  tear  the  University  Sermon  ;  and  con- 
ttantlj  at  vefpera  in  Trinity  College 
ChApeU  to  attend  the  musick  of  the 
CaUto4ral  Serrice  there.  Notwithitand- 
ing  alt  tbt4,  he  married  a  daughter  of  old 
Mr.  Howell,  a  coal-merchant  in  St*  Cle- 
ment *8  parish,  with  whom  he  hud  a  targe 
fortune,  but  a  mo^t  rigid  Dissenter;  in- 
deetl,  she  and  Mr.  Finch's  family  were  the 
tnpporta  and  props  of  the  Presbyterian 
interest  at  Cambridge,  so  that  bad  she  uot 
been  one  of  the  most  prudeut)  as  wvU  as 
best  tenspcred  women,  and  a  most  excel- 
lent wife,  it  would  have  been  impossible 
for  any  peace  or  harmony  to  have  existed 
ecu  them.  They  hail  a  daughter  mar* 
to  Mr.  Cockayne  of  Soham. 

At  St*  John's  college  Ewlu  had  for 
bis  tutor  Dr.  William  Samuel  Powell, 
who  in  17(k5  became  Ma^jter  of  that 
house.  He  waii  a  man  who,  ixa  Cote 
tells  us,*  **  was  frugal  and  crconounc,** 
ntaile  5001.  a-year  out  of  the  rectory 
of  Freshwater,  a  college  living  in  the 
Isle  of  Wight,  the  presentation  to 
which  more  usually  vacated  a  fellow- 
ship,— and  left  some  20,000/,  to  his 
niece  Miss  Jolland.  In  his  passion  for 
acquisition,  Ewin  may  have  been  in- 
fluencod  by  the  example,  as  well  a^  the 
instructions,  of  his  tutor. 

lie  took  the  di»3ree  of  Bachelor  of 
Arts  in  1753,  and  his  Miister^s  degree 
in  1756;  and  we  find  that  he  was  al* 
ready  "  in  commission  of  the  peace  for 
the  town  and  county,"  when  he  was 


admitted  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Laws,  on  the  1 1th  fXune,  l7(iG.t 

The  first  noiico  which  Cole  gives 
*of  this  Amiiible  personage  is  in  the 
year  176U,  when  a  most  useful  scheme 
for  new  paving  and  lighting  the  town 
of  Cambridge,  to  which  the  Duke 
of  Grafton,  the  Chancellor,  hud  of- 
fered to  subscribe  500/.  and  Trinity

Powell  and  Dr.  Caryl,  "  together  with 
the  mercenary  views  and  objections  of 
some  of  the  townsmen,  and  Dr.  Ewin

him  an  introductimi  to  Mr.  Horace 
Walpole  at  Strawberry  Hill:  where 
he  was  very  graciously  received  by 
the  lord  of  that  fairy  mansion.  In  a 
letter  written  E«hortly  after  (June  G, 
1769),  Mr,  Cole  thus  made  his  acknow-

^ery  agreeable  one*  Pray  do  not  think  it 
was  any  trouble  to  me  to  pay  respect  to 
four  recomniendatioo. 

Cole  next  commemoratea  **  my  friend 

Er.  Ewin"  in  his  province  as  a  magis- 
ate,  and  a  censor  of  the  morals  oi'  the 
rUndergraduateai  who,  as  he  says,  were 
BCTer  more  debauched  than  at  this 
|ieriod/ 

My  friend  Dr.  Ewin,  being  much  of  hia 
father' a  tum^  busy  and  meddling  in  other 
people's  concern H;r  got  the  ill- will  of  most 
peraoDS  in  the  town  and  university,  when 
ne  acted  as  a  justice  of  the  peace.  The 
Gownsmen  bore  hitn  a  particular  grudge 
for  interfering  much  in  their  alTiiIrs,  though 
rery  justly  ;  for  they  never  were  more 
Ucenctous,  riotoua^  and  debauched.  They 
often  broke  the  Doctor* b  windows,  as  they 
Bald  he  had  been  caught  listening  ou  their 
ataircasei  and  doors. 

About  ChrutrnM,  1771,  or  in  January, 

1772,  he  waa  at  a  coffee-house  near  his 

I  Own  house^  when  some  Fellow  Commoners, 

Lfrho  owed  him  a  grudge,  sitting  m  the 

[9cxtbox  to  him,  in  order  to  affront  him, 

pretended  to  call  their  dog  Sqiiintenii  and 

A-eqiently  repeated  the  name  very  loudly 

in  the  coffee-house,  and  tn  their  joviality 

swore  many  oaths,  and  caressed  their  dog. 

Dr.  Ewin,  aji  did  his  father,  squinted  very 

mueb,   as   did  Whitfield,    the   Methodist 

k  teacher,    who    was    vulgarly    called    Dr* 

ifiquintum,  from  the  blemish  tn  hia  eyef, 

I  Br.  Ewin  waa  aufficiently  niortitied  to  be 

I  to  affronted  In  puhllc.     However,  ho  care- 


fully marked  down  the  number  of  oaths 
iwom  by  these  gentlemen,  whom  he  made 
to  pay  severely  the  penalty  of  five  ehilling* 
each  oath,  which  amounted  to  a  good  round 
aum.  The  next  week  was  publicly  hawked 
about  the  atreets  of  Cambridge  the  follow- 
ing ballad,  printed  on  a  ballad  paper,  and 
sung  by  ballad- aingera,  and  given  away  to

where  be  is  not  much  beloved  by  any  one 
on  aoocraot  of  a  natural  and  hereditary 
difposition  to  be  prying  into  and  meddling 
busily  and  impertinently  in  other  people's 
coneemi,  and  more  cspeciAlly  by  tbe 
yoitQfcr  and  indeed  all  degrees  in  the 
nniferiity,  for  bating  Tarions  times  inter- 
fered in  bosioess  which  they  conceived  no 
ways  or  little  belonged  to  him  :  Dr,  Ewioj 
I  «ay»  being  at  the  Union  Coffee  House, 
almoat  opposite  St.  Radegttnde*8  Lane, 
noU*d  for  the  general  renlcivons  of  all 
tbe  yoang  nobility  and  fellow  commonora 
and  spirited  yoang  men  in  the  univer«ity, 
where  he  bad  been  several  times  affrouted 
before,  and  therefore  imprudent  to  fre- 
qacnt  that  coffee -house ;  but  it  being 
very  near  his  own  bou&c,  which  is  almost 
opposite  St.  Sepulchre's  Church,  he  was 
desirous  not  to  be  driven  away  from  what 
was  so  convenient  for  him.  He  being 
there ^  one  of  theac  gentlemen  said  some- 
thini^  reflecting  on  the  Doctor,  on  purpose 
to  afrout  him,  it  being  spoken  loud  enough 
for  him  to  hear  it.  On  the  Doctor's  com- 
plaining of  this  usage  to  some  friend,  and 
say  jog  at  the  same  time  that  he  had  been 
told  that  the  person  who  aaid  the  thing 
which  affronted  him  wai  one  of  these 
brothers,  but  that  be  did  not  belieTc  it, 
for  wboerer  was  ao  rude  could  have  none 
of  the  Derby  blood  in  bi«  veins.  This 
being  represented  to  I>ord  Stanley,  he 
bought  it  such  an  indignity  and  reftec- 
'on»  that  he  told  hii  brother  Mr,  Stanley 
at  he  ought  to  challenge  Dr.  Ewin. 
Accordingly  he  came  to  Dr.  Ewin's  house, 
and  was  introdaced  into  the  parlour, 
where  the  Doctor  thought  the  errand  had 
been  to  make  up  matters ;  but  instead  of 
'  atf  Mr*  Stanley,  on  repeating  the  cir- 
hmstaQces,  offered  to  fight  him,  which 
be  Doctor  very  prudently  declining,  he 
tfe«ircd  to  ring  the  bell,  and  called  in  the 
footman,  with  a  request  to  retire  to  the 
other  room,  in  whieh  the  Doctor's  sister 
and  another  lady  were  sitting,  in  order 
that  they  might  be  witnesses,  as  he  said, 
of  bis  cowardice  and  dastardliness  {  but 
this  being  represented  by  the  Doctor  as 
improper,  for  fear  of  frightening  the  ladies^ 
Mr.  Stanley,  desiring  the  servant  to  take 
notice  of  what  he  was  going  to  do,  took 
bold  of  the  Doctor's  nose,  and  spit  full  in 
his  face,  and  then  left  him.  Dr.  Ewin 
wrote  to  the  Bishop  of  Peterborough,  the 


Master  of  the  College,*  who  told  hioci  be 
could  do  nothing,  but  that  the  law  was  open. 
Accordingly  the  Doctor  is  at  this  instant 
prosecuting  the  affair  in  Westminster 
Hall,  where  I  hope  and  wish,  for  the 
credit  of  our  laws,  that  he  may  tronnce 
the  gentleman  very  smartly  ;  for  if  yottng 
nobleracn,  upon  these  fancies,  shall  invade 
yonr  own  bouses,  and  treat  you  like  a 
scoundrel,  because  you  are  not  in  a  humour 
to  draw  your  sword  or  pistol,  adieu  all 
security  but  what  they  will  pleaac  to  nllow 
you.  In  about  a  month  after  there  came 
out  a  print  representing  this  affair,  called 
*'  The  Justice  in  the  Suda.*'  1  have  it  in 
my  collection  of  prints, 

Mr.  C<ilo  sent  a  copy  of  this  print 
to  the  Hon.  Horace  Walpole  on  the 
18th  April,  1775.  It  waa  accompanied 
with  the  following  remarks; — 

The  Hon.  Mr.  Stanley,  brother  to  Lord 
Stanley,  and  Fellow  Commoner  of  Trinity 
College,  is  spitting  in  Dr.  Ewin'«  Face, 
The  likenesses  are  tolerably  well  preserted« 
Dr.  Ewin  does  not  sqnmt  enough.  He 
cast  Mr.  Stanley  on  a  trial  in  Westminster 
Hall,  made  him  pay,  and  ask  pardon. 

In  another  letter  of  Cole's  to  Wal- 
pole, Dr.  EwiQ  is  again  mentioned.  It 
IS  dated  July  25,  1774,  and  Cole  is 
writiDg  of  Dr.  Cooke,  tbe  Provost  of 
King's — 

Ue  dined  here  (at  Milton)  about  a  fort- 
night ago,  when  he  took  occasion  to  speak 
slightingly  of  Anti(|uu.rie9.  In  order  to 
please  him,  I  showgd  him  that  part  of 
your  late  letter  rcapectiog  the  Society. 
In  a  day  or  two  after,  he  was  one  of  the 
auditors  with  Dr.  Ewin  at  the  Conser- 
Tators'  meeting  in  Cambridge,  when  in 
speaking  of  the  same  fraternity  he  ex- 
pressed himself  exactly  in  your  words. 
This  1  mention  as  a  compliment  to  yo(i| 
and  none  to  himself. 

Dr.  Ewin,  who  is  going  a  tour  into 
Scotland  this  week,  drank  tea  here  on 
Friduy,  and  told  us  the  story. 

But  Dr.  Ewin  after  this  became  sttll 
more  notoriooa  in  the  annals  of  the 
University.  The  atorv  of  that  buei- 
ness,  however,  must  be  deferred  to 
another  occoaion.

at  ^vhieh  sign  of  approaching  oracular 
eloquence  all  were  silent,  for  nil  felt 
that  the  priest,  having  been  in  Europe, 
could  "  qieak  by  the  card ;"  and  as  ho

The  above  Is  an  amusing  instance  of

which  the  two  fearful  nights  of  her 
sojourn,  the  sorcerer-like  atteudonce 
of  the  wild  Malay ,  and  the  scenes  of 
debauchery  and  u^sa^sinntion  which 
reveal  to  her  the  true  occupation  of 
her  husband,  are  told  with  a  power 
familiar  to  the  reaiier«  of  the  most 
htghly-apiced  of  M.  Dmnfts'a  romances. 
lliirace,  drentling  betrayal  on  the 
purt  of  his  wife^  shuts  her  up  in  a  vault 
with  "  a  cup  of  cold  poison,'  and  a  civil 
Ictlor  of  flpolog}'.  He  gives  out  that  she 
1ms  been  assassinated ;  and  he  buries 
in  her  stead  the  body  of  a  young  Eng- 
lish ladj  whom  he  shoots  for  that  espe- 
cial purpose*  Pauline  is  discovered  by 
an  old  lover*  Alfred  de  Nerval,  who 
carries  her  to  England  as  his  sister, 
and  who  retarns  temporarily  to  France 
to  kill  Horace  in  a  duel,  for  having 
dared  to  aspire  to  the  hand  of  a  kins- 
woman of  Alfred's*  Pauline  lingers 
on  in  ill  health,  and  does  not  allow  her 
own  mother  to  be  conscious  of  an  ex- 
istence which  she  feels  must  soon  ter- 
minate,— and  by  a  knowledge  of  which 
her  mother  would  only  have  to  mourn 
a  second  time.  She  finally  dies  in  Italy, 
Now  the  comicality  in  this  story  of 
horrors  lie^  in  the  grave  portion  of  it 
which  has  England  for  its  scene,  and 
onl^  some  twenty  years  ago  for  its 
period.  The  lovers  conceal  themselves 
in  a  cottage  ornc  in  Piccatlilly  !  They 
have  the  good  fortune  to  find  in  that 
retired  spot,  **  a  pretty  little  liouse, 
very  simple,  and  quite  isolated  I "  It 
it  '^  A  diorining  little  cot,  with  green 


blinds,  a  little  garden  full  of  llowers, 
an  exquisite  lawn,  gravelled  walks  en- 
circling" all;  and  a  "banc  au  dessous 
d'ua  plfltane  magnifiquc  qui  convroit 
de  sa  tente  de  feuillage  line  partic  du 
jardin  ! ! ! "  All  this,  it  must  be  remem- 
bered,  is  described  as  existing  in  Pic- 
cadilly, in  1 834,  within  view  of  a  person 
turning  out  of  St.  Jameses  Street,  and 
which  latter  circumstance  would  fix 
the  precise  locality  of  tJiis  isolated  cot- 
tage as  somewhere  about  the  solitary 
purlieus  of  the  romantic  White  Horse 
Cellar,  or  the  picturesque  and  unin- 
habited wilderness  tenanted  by  '*thc 
Black  Bear.''  An  absurdity  scarcely 
less  remarkable  on  the  part  of  AL 
Dumas  is  that  of  fixing  the  residence 
of  a  very  hard-working  apothecary  in 
one  of  the  patrician  mansions  in  Gros- 
venor  Square  I  And  yet  the  author 
has  been  in  London,  and  has  even,  like 
%'olfaire,  commented  upon  our  lan- 
guage. The  sum,  indeed,  of  his  obser- 
vations thereon  amounts  to  the  fact 
that  Englishmen  have  abandoned  tlie 
old  expletive  of  **  Godam,**  and  that 
their  throats  are  now  generally  engaged 
with  discharging  the  cacophonous 
echoes  of  "Oh,  idi!" 

The  French  dramatists  use  us  very 
little  better,  in  many  instances  worse, 
than  the  novelists,  Tbej  sell  Indies  bj 
public  auction  in  Smithfield  Market, 
while  half  the  house  of  peers  stand  by 
to  witness  the  sale,  and  celebrate  its 
conclusion  by  a  conglomerated  horn- 
pipe. A  French  feuilletonist  who  came 
among  us  taking  notes,  in  the  year  of 
the  Exhibition,  gravely  certified  to  his 
countrywomen  that  the  gin -palaces  of 
England  were  inamly  supported  hy  the 
middle-aged  and  ehlerly  peeresj^es  of 
the  realm.  I  have  myself  seen  on  the 
French  stage  a  drama,  the  scene  of 
which  is  laid  in  the  mountainous  region 
that  lies  somewhere  between  Hyde  Park 
and  Richmond.  In  this  piece  there  is 
an  ancient  castle,  with  a  very  wicked 
lord  who  maintains  his  evil  eminence 
by  the  power  and  produce  of  forgery, 
and  whose  fair  daughter,  on  her  saint^s 
day,  is  presented  with  bouquets  pre- 
sented to  her  processionally  by  all  the 
grateful  people  of  Brentford  and  Kew, 
The  ruinc<i  chateau  itself  is  on  the 
romantic  banks  of  the  *'  St.  George 
Canal,**  and  near  it  is  a  village,  the 
inhabitants  of  which  have  the  laws  in- 
terpreted to  them  by  an  alderman  of

rcsejriblancc,  iior  the  j]:ot»d-lmmoured 
apirit  which  iritluenced  the  hand  by 
which  it  is  drawn. 

It  if!  something:  plensant  to  turn  from 
themitsrepresentattons  of  such  writers, 
however  temporarily  amusing  they  may 
be,  to  contemplate  portraits  of  nur- 
&elve9  dashingly  and  f^ood-hiinnuiredly, 
philosophically  and  cindidly  sketched 
by  Buch  an  artist  as  Max  Schlesin^er, 
There  is  something  highly  origin m  in 
the  dramatic  form  in  which  many  ol' 
the  author  a  raciest  observations  are 
made*  A  certain  Doctor  Kief  is  gene- 
rally charged  with  the  duty  of  cutting 
US  tip;  and  on  one  occjusion^  when 
something  stronger  than  usual  is  re- 
quired to  be  llung  at  uf,  a  French 
gentleman  performs  the  ullice  with  u 
vigour  aiid  an  absence  of  veracity  tluit 
are  highly  entertjiining.  Mr.  Schlc- 
flinger,  however,  does  not  appear  to 
have  employed  this  form  because  he 
had  auapicions  of  our  being  an  over- 
senaitive  people^  for  he  now  and  then 
hits  U9  smartly  and  stingingly,  severely 
and  deservedly  enough.  He  has 
adopted  the  form  because  it  gave  hiui 
Uti  tude  of  observation  and  expression. 
One  thing  ia  certain,  that  tliere  is  no 
nation  under  the  sun  that  so  good- 
humouredly  bears  being  laughed  at  aa 
our  own.  The  heartiest  enjoy  era  of 
**  Lee  Anglaisea  pour  rire/'  have  ever 
been  those  at  whom  the  sal  ire  was 
levelled  \  and  througliout  Germany 
the  broadeat  srina  ealled  up  by  Kotz- 
ebue*a  "  Sir  Johti,"  mantle  on  the  faces 
of  British  auditors,  who  are  perhaps 
more  tickled  by  comic  evidences  of 
ignoranee  than  by  the  wit  levelled  at 
lleir  own  habits  and  morals. 

The  Saunterer  in  and  about  London 
paints  both  our  in  and  out -door  life 
with,  generally  speaking,  very  great 


correetnesa-  And  tliii*  general  cor rect- 
nesa  cannot  lie  gainsaid,  becauae  he 
often  lotiks  ufion  ua  and  our  doin^ 
from  a  point  of  view  whence  we  have 
never  considered  them  ourselves.  A 
determine d  d  i  ITerencc  of  opi  n  ion  often, 
indeed,  p^jrings  up  in  the  mind  of  the 
reader;  but  when  he  hiw  nicditated  for 
a  moment  upon  the  light  in  which 
artist  has  limned  hi5  picture,  be 
com|Killetl  to  conclude  that  the  detai] 
arc  nut  exaggerated,  and  that  tlie  light 
ill  which  they  are  shown  does  aomc- 
times  illumine  them,  and  ia  more  likely 
to  be  seen  by  a  stranger  than  by  our- 
sclve.-i,  who  are  less  curious  oit  Uie 
matter. 

IVrhapa,  and  it  ia  as  well  to  say  i| 
at  once  and  have  done  with  it,  it  * 
with  the  author's  political  scntime 
that  the  reader  will  be  least  incline 
to  agree.  When  he  insinuates  tlia 
the  continental  revolutionists,  who  in 
1848  advo<;ated  licence  and  thought 
it  was  liberty,  were  men  who  were 
performing  aa  patriotic  a  duty  as  that 
performed  by  Russell  when  he  glori- 
ously conspired  against  our  illegal  go- 
vernment, it  is  only  the  ultra -radicals 
among  bis  readers  who  will  endorse 
the  ijentiment.  They  who  made  an 
ai^complished  fact  of  our  revolution 
never  [lerilled  the  general  liberty  which 
they  aought  to  establish.  They  who 
in  1848  let  loose  the  deluge  against 
the  thronca  of  Europe^  swept  away 
with  it  the  freedom  which  tney  pro- 
feaacd  to  support ;  not  that  there  was 
not  among  them  many  a  bold  and 
honest,  hoiieful  and  enduring  heart, 
whose  aapi rations  were  for  that  liberty 
which  allows  unconstrained  action  for 
all,  ^ave  where  it  may  be  injurious  to 
any.  Max  Sehleaiuger  very  aptly  meets 
one  objection  mode  in  tugtand,  by  a 
remark  which  is  worth  quoting: — 
*'  These  Engliah  sages,*'  he  says,  "  do 
not  consider  how  much  cosier  it  was 
for  their  ancestors  to  bring  the  con- 
test with  the  power  of  the  Crown  to  a 
auccessful  issue.  The  English  patriots 
were  not  opposed  by  large  standing 
armies.  The  contest  lay  between  them 
and  a  single  family  and  its  faction,  and 
— ^tliis  is  a  point  which  has  never  been 
aufliciently  dwelt  upon— they  had  uo 
reason  to  fear  a  foreign  intervention." 
This  is  true,  yet  not  wholly  so*  it  is, 
however,  sufficiently  correct  to  be  al- 
lowed to  pass  unttuesiioned.    The  au-'

liior  eompares  liberty  as  it  is  abstract- 
wily  Ticired  by  English,  French,  and 
Garman.  Tbe  first  rcaoWed  to  I>osse^^.H,

CTCSsed  under  it.  The  second  $eizc  it, 
&t  It  slip  through  their  fingers,  and 
rec-filnrf.^  only  ag^aio  to  lose  what  they 
§lv  of  blood  to  obtain.    The 

G.  ui?  evidently  thinks,  would 

acc^^mpll^b  all  that  the  Engll^b  havo 
dooe  had  they  but  our  advantages— 
iasoUr  position,  and  security  iroui  ex- 
teriml  fulae  friends  as  well  as  declared 
faei^.  This  reminds  us  of  how  the  same 
three  people  are  described  by  Ilevne 
as  estimntmg  liberty,  and  which  des- 
cription may  be  thus  abridged,  to 
edification : — 

"  The  Englishman  loves  freedom  aa 
does  his  lawful  wife-  He  poftscssea 
her*  and  if  he  does  not  treat  her  with 
any  ostentatious  show  of  tenderness, 
yet  does  he  know,  should  the  case  re- 
qoire  it,  how  to  defend  her  like  a  man. 
TjI«»,  woc-betide  the  intruder  into  her 
bolr  chamber  of  rest,  be  it  as  gallant  or 
be  It  as  knave.  The  Frenchnmu  loves 
£:«edom  ns  he  does  his  betrothed 
brid^.  Hefflowsfor  her.  He  burns 
for  her.  ifi  throws  himself  at  her 
feet  with  the  most  escaggerated  adjura- 
tions. He  fights  for  her,  despising 
death  for  her  Kake ;  and  in  her  name 
he  commits  do  end  of  foUiea.  But  the 
0enDftrT  T.iv.<  fr.  ♦  ,lnm  as  he  does  hia 
Tener.  laer!    ...    The 

gplenci  ^        Lps  wearies  of  his 

wife,  and  disposes  of  ber  iu  t!je  loarket- 
nlacc;  a  halter  round  ber  neck,  and 
^mlthfield  the  locality.  The  flutter- 
ing FVenchman  probably  turns  faith- 
less to  his  bride,  and  goes  dancing  an<l 
finging  al\er  some  court  lady  in  tbe 
royal  palace.  But  the  German  will 
never  turn  his  venerable  grandinotlier 
into  the  street  \  he  will  ever  grant  her 
a  comer  by  the  hearth,  where  she  may 
tell  to  his  listening  childreD  her  old 
wife*s  tales  for  ever/* 

By  this  it  is  clear  that  Heync  re- 
proaches his  countrymen  as  possessing 
a  superabundance  of  sMJotuneot  and 
lacking  the  sjririt  of  action.  Max 
Sehlesinger,  on  the  other  hand,  appears 
to  think  that  they  want  nothing  but 
opportunity.  The  two  opitjions,  now- 
ever  apparently  lucomnatible,  may 
neYerthetesfi  be  reconciled.  But  let 
Ui  gr»  with  the  Saunterer  from  politics 
to  thft  Battle  of  Waterloo,  oa  it  m 


fought  by  the  light  companies,  on  a 
gala  night,  at  Vauxhall.  Here  are  the 
a u thorns  opinions  upon  what  he  saw, 
put  into  tbe  ever-con veniently- open 
mouth  of  Dr.  Kief. 

NftUonsI  prejudice  is  like  a  pig-tail,  you 
can't  Boe  it  m  front.  It  is  scandatoa« 
how  they  teach  biatory  in  your  schools. 
This  new  friend  of  nunc  is  a  well-bretl 
man,  hat  he  has  nover  beard  of  Btucher. 
We  luoked  at  tlie  Duke  of  Welliogtou 
riding  over  tbe  field  of  Waterloo,  and  I 
said,  "Couldn^t  you  find  a  place  fot  our 
Blachcr?**  **  Blutcherl^'  said  he,  '*  who 
is  Blutsher?^*  He  knew  UDthing  what- 
ever of  Boucher  and  the  Pnigsian  army  I 
and  when  I  told  hita^but  for  tbe  Prussians, 
Wellington  would  have  been  made  miaced* 
meat  of  at  Wuterluo^  he  actually  laughed 
\n  my  face  1  Now  tell  me  how  do  they 
teach  history  in  your  i^chools  ? 

We  may  answer  that  history  is 
taught  after  another  fashion  than  Dr. 
Kief  and  prejudice  would  renuire. 
Lamartine,  Jules  Aluurclj  and,  if  we 
mistake  not,  Baron  Mullling,  have 
done  justice  to  Wellington,  and  the 
complete nei?fl  of  bii*  victory  ere  the 
indeed  long-wished- for  Prussians  ar- 
rived to  purfiue  the  routed  columns  of 
the  Gaul.  And  as  to  Blucher's  name 
not  being  known  iu  this  country,  it  is 
immortalized  in  one  way  among  US| 
exactly  as  Wellington's  hua  been,  by 
giving  a  diiftinctive  appellation  to  a 
certain  form  of  British  boot.  To  deny 
the  Duke  the  undoubted  merit  of  hii 
great  deed  is  only  to  treat  him  as  he 
has  been  treated  by  that  stricken  wit 
Ileyne,  who  says  of  him,  with  incredible 
nrofantty  and  malice,  that  the  name  of 
Wellington,  in  connection  with  that  of 
Napoleon,  will  go  down  to  posterity 
as  that  of  Pontius  Pihite  in  connection 
with  Je^us  Christ.  This  Is  worse  than 
our  merely  forgetting  Blucher,  even  if 
we  had  been  so  ungrateful.  But  this 
we  were  not.  When  the  allied  mo- 
narchs  arrived  in  England  in  July, 
1814,  Blucher  was  (asfar  as  our  public 
was  concerned)  "  the  king  amang  them

people  for  hi m  who  Iiad  boldly  faced 
the  eouuoon  enemy  of  Europe  when 
others  had  tied  betore  that  Ibe  waa  ho 
intense,  tliat  when  the  hero  set  foot  on 
shore  at  Dover,  he  wua  nearly  suf- 
focated with  embraces,  and  bis  cloak 
was  torn  into  fragments.  The  excite- 
ment of  ladies  In  the  capital  was  not

author,  and  take  Ileyne  with  ua  too, 
into  Cheap^ide.  llere  is  what  the  firiit 
thinks  of  that  place  where  people  mobt 
do  congregate : — 

Friend  ttniuger,  stand  for  an  hour  or 
two^  leaning  Bg^oinst  the  iron  gates  of  Bow 
Church  in  Chenpside,  or  take  up  your 
potition  on  the  itepa  of  the  Rojal  Ex<

rush  past  you,  now  murmuringly,  now

crowds  press  on  crowds^  and  Tchicles  on 
Tebioles,  as  the  streama  of  traffic  break 
against  every  street- comer,  and  spread 
through  the  arterial  system  of  the  hiaca 
and  aileTi ;  as  the  knot  of  men,  horgesi 
and  vehicles  get  entangled  nlmovt  at  every 
point  where  the  large  streets  join  and  crojis, 
to  mnver  mid  heave,  and  tpin  round,  and 
get  diseDteiagled  again,  and  agaia  en^ 
tangled.  After  each  a  review  only  can 
jou  realize  the  idea  of  the  greatness  of 
London.  It  is  this  which p  after  a  pro- 
longed stay  in  London,  so  moves  our  ad- 
miradon,  that  there  is  no  stop,  no  rest,  no 
pauae  in  tho  street-life  throughout  the 
buey  day.

A*  I,  aroused  from  my  meditation,  a^arn 
lookeJ  out  upon  the  roaring  atreet,  where 
a  varied  knot  of  men,  women,  children, 
horsei,  coaches  (und  among  them  a  hearse), 
made  their  way  to  and  fro,  aw  earing,  cry- 
ing, creaking,  and  griMiningr  then  it  seemed 
to  me  so  as  tf  alt  London  w»a  a  large 
fieresloa  bridge,  where  every  one,  in  frantic 
anxiety  about  his  own  little  bit  of  life, 
sought  to  force  his  own  way  onward  j 
wherii  the  bohi  rider  tramples  down  the 
poor  fellow  a- foot ;  where  he  who  falb  to 
the  ground  ia  for  ever  lost ;  where  the 
hitherto  truest  comrades  become  selfish, 
and  clioib  over  each  othen  Th«re  thoa- 
aandi  fiiint  to  denth,  and  bleeding  cUng 
vaioly  to  the  pkuks  of  the  bridge,  only 
to  drop  off  Into  the  cold  abyss  of  death 
below/' 

Risk  Allah,  in  bin  recently  published 
work»  **The  Thistle  and  the  Cedar  of 
Lebanon,"  expresses  himself  in  corre- 
sponding terms  with  regard  to  the 
streets  of  London  : — 

What  are  nil  these  people  come  out  to 
«icc?  isyour  tirstnaturnlinquiry.  Is  there 
a  fire  ?  or  has  there  been  an  earthquake  ? 
or  are  all  the  suburban  villagea  and  towaa 
pouring  iu  their  multitudes  to  witness  some 
grand  spectaole?  Waitah  yar  ^endim. 
If  SiAmboul  were  in  flames,  and  all  the 
Sultau'jj  harem  burning,  there  could  aot 
be  tt  greater  concourse  of  people  than  may 
every  day  he  encountered  between  the 
hours  of  three  and  five  in  one  single  street 
of  London  \  and  all  the  other  hundred 
streets  are  almost  equally  well  6 lied. 

Asaaud  y  Kaylat,  in  his  *^  Voice  from 
Lebanon,'  speaks  full  a^  admiringly  of

T.ijra  of  religion  himself,  and 
of  it  hi  the  thought-

' \\%  ill  more  controver-

inturniist  of  his  age.  He

niLh  Charles  II,  as  wheo

hi  111  to  enthusiasm.  This 
^^  of  the  Fresbyterians*  was 
jLienof  every  other  religion, 
.  i--'  who  were  of  no  religon 
but,  t)iL^  had  very  little  eUect 
QpoQ  hioi :  his  preticnce  and  his  firm- 
Qtiatf  of  mind  on  no  oceiifllon  forsook 


him.  He  was  just  the  aarae  man  be* 
fore  he  went  into  a  prison,  while  he 
was  in  it,  and  when  he  came  out  of  it, 
aod  he  maintained  a  uniformity  of 
character  to  the  last  gasp  of  his  life  " 

It  WQfi  in  the  year  1641,  at  the  aga 
of  six- and -twenty,  that  Baxter  com- 
menced his  ministry  at  Kidderminster, 
The  Committee  for  Scandalous  Minis- 
ters was  at  that  time  pursuing  its  in* 
qutried,  and  the  parishroncrs  of  Kid- 
derminster memorialised  it^  stating  that 
their  Vicar  was  utterly  insufflcient, 
had  been  presented  to  the  cure  by  % 
Fiipist,  was  unlearned,  preached  but 
once  a  quarter,  and  then  so  weakly  an 
exposed  him  to  laughter,  aod  impressed 
them  with  the  belief  that  he  under- 
stood not  the  very  substantial  articles 
of  Christianity;  that  he  fi-equented 
alehouses,  and  had  sometimes  been 
drunk  ;  that  he  turned  the  Table  altar* 
wise,  Sec.  &c,  with  more  such  as  this. 
He  had  a  Curate  who  bore  no  better 
character;  and  another  at  a  chapel  in 
the  parish,  who  was  many  degrees 
worse.  The  Yicar,  being  conscious  of 
his  insufficiency,  was  induced  to  make 
terms  with  the  Committee.    He  agreed

ihi\U  instead  of  his  Curntc  in  the  towfii 
ho  should  allow  60/,  per  unn.  to  a 
Preacber,  to  be  chosen  by  Ibarteen  of 
Iho  congregation ;  that  hiJ  should  not 
hinder  this  Preacher  from  prcacliing 
whenever  he  pleaded ;  and  that  he  him- 
self should  read  Ck>minon  Prayer,  and 
do  idl  else  that  was  to  l»e  tlone  i  and 
so  they  preferred  not  thoir  Petition 
against  him,  nor  against  his  curates, 
but  he  kept  his  place,  whieh  was  worth 
to  biiu  near  2901,  per  aim.  allowing 
that  tiOL  out  of  it  to  their  lecturer: 
and  to  perform  this  he  gave  a  bond 

of^uo;. 

The  first  Lecturer  they  thought  of 
was  Mr.  Lapthorn,  a  preacher  oi  some 
eelebrity  ;  but,  he  not  bcin^^  approved, 
tliey  next  rc^olTcd  to  invite  Baxt&* 
from  Bri^lgnorth,  where  he  wa3  then 
resident,  and  he  waa  summoned  by 
the  Baittfl'  and  feoffees  to  preach  before 
them,  in  order  to  a  full  determination. 

My  mind  (he  »ay»)  wfts  roach  to  the 
pltce  w  soon  as  it  woa  described  to  me ; 
because  it  was  a  AiH  congregation,  and 
most  conTCQient  t^miplc  ;  an  ignoratit, 
rude^  nod  revelling  people  for  the  greater 
part,  who  had  need  of  preaching  ;  and  yet 
had  among  them  a  small  company  of  con- 
verts, who  were  humble,  godly,  and  of  good 
coaverBatioas,  aud  not  much  hated  by  the 
reat»  and  therefore  the  fitter  to  assist  their 
teacher  ;  but,  above  all^  hecause  they  had 
hardly  ever  had  any  Uvcly^  serious  preach- 
ing  among  them.  .  .  .  As  soon  as  I 
camCt  and  had  prcsehcd  one  day,  1  waa 
chosen  ncfnine  cnniradicente;  for,  though 
fourteen  only  had  the  power  of  choosing, 
they  desired  to  please  the  rcat.  And  thus 
I  wns  broiiiijht,  by  the  gracious  providence 
of  Godt  to  til  at  place  which  had  the  chiefest 
of  my  bbours,  and  yielded  me  the  greAtcst 
fruits  of  comfort.

turbeib  On  the  breaking;  out  of  the 
civil  war  the  RoyaUst  party  prevailed 
in  the  towni  and,  as  Baxter  was  stig- 
matised as  a  Roundhead,  he  was  glad 
to  retire.  lie  went  to  Gloucester,  and 
afterwards  to  Coventry  and  elsewhere, 
a»  a  chaplain  to  the  army.  Nor  was  it 
nntil  aoraetime  ailer  the  wars  had  closed 
that  he  was  able  to  return, having  in  the 
meantime  Iain  ill  for  dve  months  in 
the  bouse  of  Lady  Kous  at  Rous-Lcnch. 
When  he  did  so,  he  foun^l  the  vicarage 
had  been  setjuejiteretl,  and  he  was  urged 
to  accept  it  \  but  tbif*  he  refused,  tclfing

they  consented^  though  it  waa  aticr- 
wards  barely  performed  (the  vicaracc 
itself  remain inpt  se^ue^tei'ed  in  tne 
bands  of  the  parishioners),  and  for  six- 
teen years  Baxter  continued  to  labour 
in  his  vocation  at  Kidderminster.  Of 
the  method  of  his  employment  he  givcif 
the  following  account : 

I  nrcached  before  the  Wart  twice  each 

Lord  s  Day  \  but  after  the  war  but  once, 
and  once  every  Thursday,  besides  ooca- 
siousl  Sermons.  Every  Thursday  eveming 
my  neigbbouri  that  were  moat  desirofia 
and  had  opportunity  met  at  my  house,  and 
th«n  one  of  tliem  repeated  th6  sermon^  and 
afterwards  they  proponed  what  doubts  any 
of  thcni  had  about  the  sermon »  or  any 
other  case  of  oODtdenoe,  aod  I  resolved 
Ibcir  doubts :  and  laat  of  all  I  caused 
sometimes  one  and  lometinirs  another  of 
thopi  to  pray  (to  cxcreise  thcn))»  and  topoe- 
times  I  prayed  with  them  myself,  which, 
beside  singmg  a  psalm «  was  all  they  did. 
And  once  a  week  also  some  of  the  younger 
sort  who  were  not  fit  to  pray  in  so  great 
an  assembly  met  among  a  few  more  pri- 
vately, when  they  spent  three  boors  in 
prayer*  Every  SnUirday  night  thty  met 
at  some  of  their  honnies  to  repeat  the  aer^ 
mon  of  the  la»t  Lord's  Day,  and  to  pray 
aud  prepare  themseWea  for  the  following 
day*  Once  in  a  few  weeks  we  had  a  Day 
of  HiimiliaLion  on  one  occasion  or  other* 

The  afternoons  of  Monday  and  Tues- 
day in  every  week  he  spent  in  visiting 
and  privately  catechising  from  house 
to  house :  but  for  the  further  miwUitt 
of  bis  ministry  the  reader  must  now 
be  refeiTcil  to  his  interesting  auto- 
biography, or  to  his  book  called  *•  The 
Reionncd  Piwtor  " 

At  the  Bestoration,  Baxter  was  no- 
mtnatcd  one  of  the  King^s  Chaplains, 
and  together  with  Calomy  and  Rey- 
nold s^  two  other  distinguished  lU vines

Baxter  preached  twice  or  thrice,  and 
then  the  old  Vicar^  under  advice  of  his 
prompters^  denied  him  the  liberty  of  en- 
tering the  pulpit  any  more.  From  that 
time  until  nis  deatbi  nearly  thirty  years 
after,  his  preaching  was  confined  to  the 
meeting- houses  ofthe  Nonconformists, 
chiefly  in  and  about  the  mctropolig. 

Baxter  a  Pulpit  is  still  preserved  at 
Kidderminftter,  but  no  longer  in  the 
church.  In  hi&  ilay  it  stood  on  the  north 
side  of  the  nave,  against  the  second 
pillar  from  the  east.  But  in  178t>,  the 
chtirch  was  "repairetl,  rcpewed,  and 
beautified,"  in  the  style  of  those  gootl 
old  times  :  when,  it  bein^  thought  ad- 
visable to  have  a  new  pmpit  hnilt  in  a 
central  situation,  Baxter's  old  pulpit 
was  condemned,  and,  together  with 
other  pieces  of  carved  work,  wag  offered 
for  sale  (!)  by  the  then  churchwardens, 
as  old  and  useless  chureb  furniture. 
The  churchmen  of  that  day  appear  to 
have  held  the  same  opinions  aa  their 
wardens ;  so  the  pulpit  (with  the  ex- 
ception of  its  pedestal)  was  purchased 
by  the  Unitarians  of  the  place.  Their 
successors  have  carefully  preserved  it, 
and  it  now  stands  in  a  room  adjacetit 
to  their  chapel. 

The  pulpit  ia  of  oak :  octagonal  in 
its  shape,  and  properly  decorated  with 
flowers  and  architectural  ornaments, 
in  the  well-known  style  of  the  reign  of 
James  L  Gold  letters,  inserted  in  six 
of  the  panels,  somewhat  ostentatiously 
informed  the  congregation  that—

CAMBRIDGE  IMPROVEMENTS,  1853. 


A  VERY  striking  and  extensive 
improvement  has  recently  been  effected 
in  this  town.  About  four  years  since 
eight  houses  on  the  western  aide  of  the 
^&rket  Hill  and  in  the  ad  i  a  cent  streets 
were  destroyed  by  firo.  I'be  Corpora- 
tion promptly  toek  advantage  of  this 
miafartunc  and  obtained  a  local  Act 
empowering  them  to  purchase  by  com^ 
pulsion  the  sites  of  these  housesi,  and 
all  the  other  property  between  the 
Market  Hill  and  the  eastern  end  of 
Great  St,  Mary*s  Church.  Under  this 
Act  they  have  at  length  purehased 
twenty-four  houses  and  sites  of  houses 
at  an  expense  of  about  5O,O0O;.  The 
whole  spiaee  has  been  cleared,  and  the 
Market  Place  has  been  thereby  more 
than  doubled  in  size,  and  is  now  one  of 
the  largest  in  the  kingdom.  New  and 
spleudid  views  have  been  opened  of 
Great  St,  Mary\  the  Senate  House, 
the  University  Library^  and  King^s 
College  Chapel,  whilst  the  Market  Hill 
mokes  a  Une  appearance  from  the  open 
space  near  the  Senate  House.  In 
effect,  the  Senate  House  HiO  and  the 
Market  Hill  now  form  one  spacious 
area,  having  Great  8t,  Mary's  Church 
in  the  centre.  The  chancel  of  this 
church  (which  as  been  hitherto  hijdcn 
from  public  view  by  old  and  mean 
housett,)  greatly  retpiircs  renovation. 
As,  however,  the  Master  and  Fellows 
of  Trinity  College  are  patrons  of  the 
church  in  questionj  there  can  be  little 
doubt  that  they  will  undertake  the 
work  with  their  accusiomed  liberality, 
and  the  Maater's  extensive  knowledge 
of  architecture  affords  a  guarantee  that 
what  is  done  will  be  well  done.  The 
Univeraity  will,  rt  is  ex|>ected,  tiiko 
the  opportunity  of  getting  rid  of  the 
oflemjve  throne,  plt^  and  galleries,  and 
will  fit  up  this  fine  church  more  in 
accordance  with  ecclesiastical  usage. 
The  Conduit,  named  after  the  cele- 
brated carrier,  Thomas  Hobson,  will 


probably  be  removed  to  a  more  central  ] 
position  on  thcMnrket  Hill,  if  a  larger  i 
and  more  ornamental  structure  bo  not 
substituted  for  it.

Market  If  ill  to  which  we  have  adverted 
are  certain  to  lead,  sooner  or  later,  to 
the  erection  of  a  new,  more  spacious, 
and  more  commodious  Cruildhnll.  The 
present  structure  is  of  no  great  anti- 
quity, but  it  is  mean,  ugly,  quite  in* 
adequate  to  the  increased  and  increas- 
ing wants  of  the  community,  and  ut- 
terly unimprovable.  There  are  ccrt^iin 
negociations pending  between  the  Uni- 
versity and  Town  authorities  for  the 
establishment  of  more  amicable  rela- 
tions between  the  two  bodies ;  and  if, 
as  anticipated,  the  result  should  be  a 
settlement  of  the  long  ponding  question 
as  to  the  contributions  of  the  Univer- 
sity and  Colleges  to  local  burthens,  no 
time  will,  we  are  assured,  be  lost  in 
taking  up  the  subject  of  a  new  Guild- 
hall with  that  energy  which  muit  en- 
sure success. 

The  front  of  Trinity  Hidl,  which  was 
destroyed  by  fire  a  year  or  two  since, 
has  been  rebuilt  on  a  more  extended 
and  lofty  plan,  from  the  designs  of  A* 
Salvin,  e«q.  who  has  also  rebuilt  the 
Master  s  Lodge ;  and  is  the  architect 
of  a  now  hall  and  other  buildings  at 
Caius  College-,  of  red  brick,  with  stone 
dressings,  in  tlie  Inter  Tudor  st^le.  It 
is,  we  believe,  intended  to  rebuild  and 
enlarge  this  College  towards  Trinity- 
street,  If  this  be  so,  the  buildingn 
ought  to  be  set  back  considerably,  and 
we  tmst  80  opulent  a  society  will  not 
be  satisfied  with  anything  but  stone 
for  their  principal  front, 

A  new  and  enlarged  north  aisle  and 
porch  have  been  added  to  St.  Bene- 
dict's Church,  by  G-  G,  Scott-,  esq.  and 
it  in  pro|>osed  to  take  part  of  the  old 
elm  reheard  (no  longer  used)  to  enlarge 
the  adjacent  streets.

been  lately  fitted  up  b^  the  corpora-

THE  TOXARIS  OF  LUCIAN. 


WHATEVEK  virtues  the  present 
may  claim  to  itself — and  we  do 
\  toppase  that  it  will  not  hold  a  fair 
in  the  world's  history — self- 
vottoii  of  any  kind  will  surely  not 
ll>c  of  the  number.  With  respect  to 
l^end&hip  and  patriotism  in  particular, 
iAotions  so  enthusiastic  were  enter- 
||ained  by  the  ancients,  that  we  fear 
*w5y  will  at  the  present  day  excite  a 
Qile,  if  not  a  sneer*  It  is  not  indeed 
cult  to  assign  a  cause  for  the  dif* 
nee  between  the  ancient  and  mo- 
estimate  of  friendship,  which 
lake  to  be  the  scanty  education 
the  females  of  tho^  times.  If  it 
itended  so  far  as  to  make  them 
IBotafale  housewives,  that  was  its  utmost 
;  their  intellect  l>eing  entirely,  and 
moral  qualities  all  but  entirely 
gloeled.  A  marriage  would  thus 
tlic  most  part  be  a  mariage  de 
Ifmnraamr^,  and,  in  anj  case,  a  rational 
npanion  waj)  the  last  thing  a  man 
oked  for  in  forming  a  nuptial  en- 
ement. 

Jnder  these  circumatances,  the  af- 
ItfbctioDS  which,  in  modern  times,  would 
1 1>e  cooeentratefl  in  the  domestic  hcjirth, 
|4rere  compelled  to  look  abroad  for 
object  to  which  they  might 
eh  themselves.  In  a />»>«//  miglit, 
aps,  be  found  one  who  could  ap- 


preheiid  and  reply, — a  quality  not  to 
be  hoped  for  in  a  tvife. 

To  this  cause,  rather  than  to  any 
other,  we  attribute  the  mimy  romantic 
instunces  of  self-devotion  which  the 
annals  of  Grecian  friendship  present  to 
our  view. 

Some  of  those,  and  not  the  least 
surprising,  Lucian  has  collected  toge- 
ther in  the  diidogue  whose  title  stands 
at  the  head  of  our  article;  lliey  are 
thus  introduced : — A  discussion  is  re- 
presented as  arising  between  Toxaris 
a  Scythian,  and  Mnesippus  a  Greek, 
as  to  which  of  their  resf>ective  coun- 
tries has  produced  the  most  eminent 
examples  m  this  kind.  Each  of  them 
brings  forward  five  instances  in  sup- 
port of  his  side  of  the  cjuestion,  which 
ultimately  is  left  undecided. 

In  the  naiTatives  of  the  Scythian 
some  geographical  and  other  difficul- 
ties have  been  detected  which  cast  a 
shade  of  doubt  over  their  truth  ;  thej 
had  farther  to  travel  before  reach- 
ing the  cars  of  Lucian,  and  were 
probably  somewhat  garbled  in  their 
route;  one  or  two  indeed  ore  possibly 
wholly  fictitious.  The  tales  of  Mnesip- 
pus,,  on  tlie  contrarv,  have  in  them  no 
mhcreiit  improbability,  and  are  quite 
in  accordance  with  the  spirit  and  cha- 
racter of  the  nation  to  which  he  be-

The  first  iimtttiice  we  now  prot't'cd

hitnscir 

"  No  long  time  ago,"  commences  hc^ 
"  diere  lived  a  Sain  inn  named  Aga- 
thoclcs,  who  m  birth  and  eminent  qitii- 
lities  wai!  no  whit  superior  to  the  rest 
of  hb  countrymen,  though  m  noble-

jfar  aurjmesed  tliem  alL  lie  and  Dinias, 
son  of  Lj^ioa  of  Ephesus^  had  been 
finendjg  from  boyhood,  and  an  Dlniu5 
bad  ft  very  largo  fortunci  which  he  had 
just  come  into>  there  were  many  others 
about  hini,  as  mi^ht  be  cxjiected,  who 
caroused  with  hiin  and  took  part  in 
Lis  pleasures;  these  however  were 
altogether  unworthy  of  the  uaine  of 
frieiidfi. 

"  For  some  time  Agathocles,  though 
be  took  no  great  pleasure  in  so  apeud- 
inc  his  time,  kept  them  company,  and 
joined  in  their  drinking  bout*.  Now 
and  then  he  would  say,  *  Remember 
your  ancestors,  my  dear  Dinias,  and 
take  some  little  care  to  keep  the  riches 
it  cost  your  good  father  such  pains  to 
acquire.* — *Iam  weary  of  Agathocles,* 
thought  Dlnias  ,*  *  a  carouae  is  more 
pleasant  without  him/  So  he  turned 
to  his  llatterers.  *  Chariclca  adores 
yon/  cried  they.  She  was  wife  to  one 
of  tne  first  men  in  the  place.  By  and 
bye  there  came  letters  from  the  Lady, 
then  withered  garlands  and  bitLt^n 
apples,  and  other  like  triilea  with 
which  daines  of  her  atarap  assault 
youiic  mcti's  peace ;  by  little  and  little 
they  draw  them  into  their  toik,  and 
kindle  a  flame  in  their  bosoms  by  giving 
them  to  understand  that  they  nave  in- 
spired affection — a  plan  which  is  espe- 
emlly  iiure  to  succeed  with  those  who 
fancy  they  have  good  looks :  thus,  be- 
fore they  are  aware,  the  wretched 
youths  find  themselves  entangled  in 
the  net  .  .  . 

**  Such  waa  the  person  whom  the  pn- 
nisttes  of  Dinias  chose  for  the  princi- 
mt  character  in  tbeir  dranm,  and, 
themselves  taking  the  inferior  parts, 
they  left  no  means  untried  to  make 


him  fall  madly  in  love  with  her.     Her  I 
part,  indeed,  she  was  (juite  equal  to*  ni 
this  was  not  the  first  affair  of  the  kind  i 
by  many  that  she  had  been  cncitLred  jn, 
or  the  first  fine  property  she  ' 

I)ated,  or  the  first  young  mas.  i 

eft  in  the  mire.  A  shifting  and  tricky  j 
piece  of  mischief  was  she;  and  now  that 
she  had  before  her  a  youth  quite  simple* 
minded  and  ignorant  of  arts  like  hers, 
she  took  care  not  to  let  him  out  of  her  ] 
talons,  but  clung  to  him,  and  struck 
her  claws  into  him,  till  at  last  she  hatf 
both  ruined  him  and  involved  herself  1 
in  the  same  destruction.  The  baits  * 
she  first  put  on  her  hooks  were  the 
love-letters  I  spoke  of— then  the  fa- 
vourite slave  came  dropping  in  witli 
the  news,  how  her  mistress  spent  her  ' 
days  in  tears,  and  could  not  get  awinlC 
of  sleep  all  ni^ht ,-  indeed,  how  she  wa§ 
like  to  stranoTe  herself  for  love;  till  at 
length  poor  Dinius  could  not  but  admit 
to  nimself  the  power  of  his  oharms* 
and  thiit  he  found  some  favour  in  the 
sight  of  the  ladies  of  Ephesus.  So, 
yielding  to  frequent  entreaties,  he  at 
last  consented  to  an  interview.  Afler 
this,  as  might  be  expected,  he  waa 
caught  easily  enough,  ror  the  lady  waa 
handsonuN  and,  not  only  that,  but  wai 
well  versed  in  all  the  arts  of  pleasing: 
to  suffer  a  tear  to  steal  down  her 
cheek — to  break  off  the  conversation 
with  a  gentle  sigh — to  cling  to  him 
when  he  was  leaving  her — to  run  to 
meet  him  on  his  return — to  array  her* 
self  in  the  attire  tbut  best  pleased 
his  fancy — to  sin^  him  a  tender  ditty, 
and  accompany  licr  voice  with  her 
lyre — all  these  endues  were  brought 
to  bear  against  the  ill-fated  youth-  .  .  . 
She  then  on  a  sudden  discontinued 
her  visits,  pretending  that  her  husband 
had  heard  of  their  intrigue,  and  liad  set 
a  watch  upon  her.  This  exclusion  from 
his  mistress's  presence  was  more  than 
the  young  man  could  bear ;  he  burst  into  .  | 
tears,  sent  his  parasites  to  entreat  her 
to  change  her  determination  :  then 
called  on  the  name  of  his  dear  Charl- 
clea>  and,  as  he  hail  a  statue  of  her  in 
white  marble,  he  threw  his  arms  round 
it,  shrieking  aloud ;  and  at  last  dashing 
himself  on  the  pavement,  he  lay  there

sat  all  night  reviewing  tlic  past,  and 
consulting  on  their  future  course. 
With  daybreak  came  the  officers  of

attempt  to  deny  the  fact,  and  brought 
him  before  the  Proconsul  of  Asiii ;  oy

would  not  even  then  return  to  his 
country,  but  remained  in  the  island, 
not  liking  to  desert  even  the  corpse  of 
his  friend.  Here  you  sec,  Toxaris, 
what  a  Greek  ciin  do ;  and  this  Uap- 
pcned  not  long  ago,  for  scarce  five 
years  have  elapsea  since  Agatbodes 
died  in  Gyarus. ' 

There  is  one  feature  of  this  nar- 
rative that  must  almost  have  forced 
itself  on  the  attention  of  the  reader^ 
we  allude  to  the  ease  with  whieh  Aga- 
thoclcs— by  birth  and  education  a 
gentleman — adapts  himself  to  his  al- 
tered circumstances.  His  fortune  has 
been  sacrificed  in  the  cause  of  friend - 
ship^  and  being  reduced  to  the  utmost 
poverty,  he  Gnds  no  diffiuulty  In  sup- 
plying his  own  wants  and  those  of  bis 
sick  h'icnd  by  the  labour  of  his  hands. 
In  the  following  talcs,  two  otlier  si- 
milar instances  will  present  themselves 
to  our  notice.  In  fact,  in  the  education 
of  the  ancient  world  the  development 
of  the  body  was  at  least  as  much  re- 
garded as  that  of  the    intellect;  in

which  there  was  thia  advantage,  among 
others,  that  on  any  sudden  reverse  the 
tinfortunatc  person  found  liimself  on  a 

{)ftr  with,  and  not  re<inceti  below  the 
evel  of,  an  fible- bodied  pauper.  In 
tlie  present  day  the  development  of 
the  physique  js  left  to  the  caprice  of 
each  indiviilual,  and  forms  no  part  of 
any  system  of  education,  the  ill  eilects 
of  which  we  may  learn  from  the  nii- 
muroufi lugubrious statemenls  that  have 
lately  appeared  in  the  columns  of  I'he 
Times,  of  the  helplessness  and  inct- 
fieieucy  of  many  of  the  immigrants 
who  have  lately  crowded  the  porta  of 
Australia. 

There  is  another  point,  though  of 
less  Interest^  on  which  we  would  also 
make  some  comment.  We  have  seen 
that  Chftriclea  sends  her  lover  fjarl an ds 
lEat  are  half- wi  the  red ,  by  which  he 
was  to  infer  that  they  had  for  some 
time  graced  her  fair  brows — a  eircum- 
atance  that  would,  of  course,  gXYn  them 
in  his  eyes  a  charm  which  the  freshest 
ornaments  of  the  parterre  would  want. 
To  the  llowcrn,  mtleed,  wc  raise  no 
objection,  but  the  mutilated  apples  that 
aecompanied  them  do  not  equally  find 
iavour  in  our  eye.'**  Tlie  custom  of 
lovers  presenting  each  other  with  fruit 
and  other  delicaeies  out  of  which  they 
had  previouflly  bitten  a  morsel,  thus 
ctihaneing  the  value  of  the  gift,  is  al^o 
all u lied  to  by  St.  Jerome  (mculu  pj^tB' 
gustiittqtie  tibi.  Epist*  ad  Matrcm  et 
X^iham),  and,  though  he  mentions  it  in 
terms  of  reproof,  hrs  censure  arises 
rather  from  his  general  disapprobation 
of  the  tender  passion,  and  everything 
connected  with  it,  than  from  any  parti- 
cular dljil  ike  of  the  prnctiee  in  nuestion. 

A  similar  custom  prevailed  among 
our  own  ancestors,  who  found  a  plea- 
sure unknown  to  their  descendants  in 
drinking  out  of  the  same  cup  with  the 
objects  of  their  alfections.  The  bcau- 
tiuil  lines  of  Ben  »lonson  will  at  once 
recur  to  the  reader  a  mind — »

And  ril  aot  look  fbr  vdn^r 
This  practice  was  tubaequently  im- 
proved on,  and  at  length  was  carried 
to  such  an  extent  that  in  the  latter 
part  of  the  last  century  enthusiastic 
admirers  of  beauty  were  in  the  habit 
of  procuring  their  mistresses'  shoes  or 
tilipiHii  f4,  and  out  of  these  singular  gob- 
lets quatfing  healths  to  the  objects  of 
tli€ir  adoration.    In  the  present  day 


we  believe  all  these  practices  to  be 
utterly  exploded. 

We  now  return  to  Mneaippus  and

amongst  tbem  Kuthydicus,  and  a  friend 
ot  bis,  Damon  ;   the  former  a  stout, 
likely  young  fellow,  but  Damon  was 
pale  and  weakly,  recovering,  I  should 
think,  from  a  long  sickness.    We  hod 
a  good  passage  as  for  a«  Slcilj^,  but, 
once  through  the  strait  and   in    the

were  now   otT  ZacynthusT   and  *twiis 
nearly  midnight.    The  tossing  of  the 
waves  bad  made  Damon  sick  ;   he  Wi0 
leaning   over  the  side  of  the  vesielt 
when  the  ship  gave  a  sudden  lurcl!] 
leewards,  and  pitched  him  head*foro«i

on,  so  could  not  well  swim,    Howeveri  j 
he  just  kept  his  head  above  water,  .and] 
cried   out   for  aid.      Euthyilicus  w 
undressed,  and  in  bed.   The  instant  he  ] 
heard  Damon*fl  voice,  he  jumped  up] 
and  leaped  overboard,  and,  just  at  hit  j

not  do  much  to  help  them.     However,

to  ac^pt  such  a  lepfacy  as  that  ?  *  '  He 

was  indeed,'  answera  Toxaris;  *but 
I  rather  atliinre  the  confidence  that 
ICuduniidiiH  had  in  his  friend*  He  showed 
by  it  that  he  would  in  their  place  have 
done  the  same,  had  no  jjucU  bequest 
been  made.'  *  There  indeed  you  are 
right,*  rejoins  Mnesippus,  *  But  I 
now  come  to  my  fourth  mstiince,  which 
is  that  of  Zenothemis,  of  Jlassilia.  You 
must  know  1  wa»  once  sent  on  an  em- 
bassy into  Italy ;  v?hen  I  was  there,  a 
friend  one  day  called  my  attention  to 
a  gentleman  and  lady  who  were  riding 
in  a  travelling  carriuge — the  man  was 
handsome  and  well-made,  and  to  all 
appearance  wealthy — while  the  lady 
who  sat  by  him  wiia  blind  of  one  eye, 
with  her  right  sitle  withered — in  short, 
a  mere  hobgoblin.  *  I  wonder,*  cried 
I,  *how  a  fine  young  fellow  like  that 
can  endure  such  a  hideous  creature  by 
his  side."  *  I  will  tell  you  all  about  it,* 
paid  my  friend :  *  1  am  myself  from 
Massilia,  whence  these  people  come  ; 
Men  cerates,  this  ill-favoured  lady's  fa- 
ther, and  Zenothemis  her  husband,  were 
intimate  friends — they  were  both  men 
of  wealtJi,  and  among  the  most  re- 
spected iidiabitnntit  of  the  city.  After 
a  time  Menecrates  was  charged  before 
the  Cimncil  of  Six  Hundred  with  hav* 
ing,  when  in  office,  given  judgment 
against  law  :  he  was  found  guilty,  and 
mulcted  in  his  whole  pi*operty»  besides 
losing  his  civil  rights — so  heavy  is  the 
penalty  for  that  crime  amongst  us 
Massiltans.  He  ]ioured  out  his  griefs 
in  the  bosom  of  his  friend »  '  Which 
way  shitll  I  turn  ?  *  cried  he ;  *  my 
fortune  and  my  character  are  botu 
gone^tbat  perhaps  I  could  bear :  but 
my  poor  daughter !  she  is  now  just 
eighteen,  and  with  all  my  property 
I  could  scarce  hope  that  the  lowest 
and  mttst  ill-conditioned  groom  in  the 
city  would  take  her,  ill-favoured  as 
she  is;  besides,  as  you  know,  she  is 
subject  to  the  falling  sickness  at  the 
increase  of  the  moon — who,  then,  will 
marry  her  now  ?  *  *  Never  fear,  man,* 
replied  his  friend;  *you  shall  never 
know  want  yourself,  and  your  daughter 
shuU  have  a  hu±jband  suited  to  her 
birth,*  He  then  took  his  hand  and 
led  him  to  his  house  ;  there  ho  divided 
hia  fortune — and  it  was  no  sQiall  one — 
equally  with  Menecrates.  A  few  day  a 
atter  he  bade  Ins  servants  prepare  an 
entertainment,  and  invite  all  his  ac^

qiitlntAnoc«.    *  Tbcrc  is  one  who  will 
miLiry  your  daughter,'  said  he  to  hit 

friend* 

"The  fofist  crulotl  niid  libations  made, 
the  hoAi  h untied  n  brinimui;^  goblet  to 
Menccratca.  'Accept/  cried  he,  *yoiir 
8on-in-lAw's  pledge :  I  it  is  who  will 
inan*y  your  daufrhter ;  fliul  1  hereby 
declare  I  receivetl  her  dowry  long  ago; 
*twft8  five  and  twenty  talents.'  *  It  must 
not  be,"  renlied  the  father,  *  that  you 
shall  not  on.  I  hope  I  ixni  not  !«o  i\kr 
lost  to  nil  sense  of  propriety  as  to  ace 
you — ^ti  fine  bnntlsome  young  man — 
yoked  with  an  ill-favoureil  deformed 
girl.*  Zenoihemis  ronde  no  reply*  but 
Uikiii};  the  bride  by  the  hand,  led  her 
to  the  nuptial  ebamber.  Since  that, 
he  lias  lived  with  her,  always  cjthi bit- 
ing the  teiiderest  attachment,  and  tak- 
ing her  with  him  everywhere,  as  j^ou 
see.  So  far,  indeed,  is  he  from  being 
nabamed  of  his  marriage,  that  he  seems 
to  take  nrlde  in  it.  *  Beauty  and  de- 
formity, soys  be,  *  wealth  and  |>ovc'ity, 
reputation  an<l  the  want  of  it,  are  nil  the 
garno  to  me  :  there  is  one  tliitig  I  look 
at, — my  friend^  and  be  \a  the  same  man 
now  that  hu  wna  before  the  sentence 
of  the  Six  Hundred,*  Even  in  this 
respect,' however,  fortune  has  favoured 
Zenotbemis;  his  ugly  wife  has  brought 
hira  the  lovelieat  boy  man  ever  set  eyes 
on.  One  day  his  father  took  him  in 
his  arras  and  curried  him  to  the  council 
chamber.  He  was  dressjcd  in  a  n»oum- 
jng  robe,  with  an  olive  wreath  on  hiii 
head^  that  he  niij;^lit  plead  the  more 
pitifully  for  his  gnmiiriithcr.  The  babe 
smiled  upon  the  senator:}  and  clapped 
bis  little  bands,  at  which  sight  they 
were  bo  atrectcd  thnt  they  remitted 
MenecrateB*a  flentence,  and  he  is  now 
a  citizen  again."  Such  was  the  story 
the  Mfissibun  told  me  of  Zouothcmiss 
conduct  to  his  friend/' 

In  the  last  nan'ative  may  be  ob- 
served a  striking  dilTerence  of  i^cnti- 
mtnl  from  that  now  existing.  An 
ofifenoe  like  tliat  committed  by  Mcne- 
crates  would,  in  the  present  iloy,  be 
looked  on  a«  excluding  the  offender 
froni  the  society  of  honest  men  and 
good  citizens  ;  more  eupecially  if,  as  in 
the  case  before  ua,  the  sentence  which 
convicted  him  f»f  gudt  had  algo  de- 
privcil  him  of  hia  property.  That 
under  these  circumjitunces  Zenothcmis 
flbouid  stick  to  hie  friend  niiglit  bj  ex- 
pected from  the  exal(c«l  idea  be  enter- 


tained of  the  obligations  imposed  by 
that  relation ;  but  that  he  ahonhl  in- 
vite all  \m  acquainttmce  to  a  bantjuct 
to  meet  htm,  a^d  that  the  iliagrace<l 
person  should  be  received  among 
them  as  he  apparently  was,  quite  on 
bis  former  footing,  gives  us  no  yery 
high  opinion  of  the  state  of  morality 
which  prevniled  among  the  people  of 
Marseilles, 

The^e  two  tales  also  exhibit  in  a 
striking  light  a  subject  we  have  touched 
on  before — the  noti{»n  ontertnined  of 
the  proper  sphere  of  females  by  the 
ancient  world,  in  the  capacities  of 
wives  and  motherii  they  were  indeed 
recognised,  but  the  uuict  round  of 
duties  now  allotted  to  the  maiden  aunt 
found  no  place  in  Uie  aocial  system  of 
bygone  times.  "  To  suckle  fools  and 
chrouicie  small  beer**  is  the  part  al- 
lotted to  that  sex  by  lago,  and  the 
duties  ii&sigued  to  the  Grecian  and 
Roman  ladies  were  apparently  not  verjr 
dillbrent.  Indeed,  the  idea  of  their 
female  relatives  remaining  in  a  stato  of 
celibacy  seems  never  for  a  moment  to 
have  flashed  across  the  mindi*  of  the 
fathci*s'  atid  brothers  of  those  dayi 
Thus  we  find  Fludamidas,  when  dy' 
in  penury,  impotfcs  on  his  friend 
obligation  of  providing  a  dowry  for 
his  child;  and  Menecratcitt  not  only 
imjiovcrished  but  disgraced,  is  chiefly 
harassed  with  the  care  of  disposing  in 
marriage  of  his  deformed  and  epileptic 
daughter. 

We  now  Come  to  Mncsippus'ij  last 
story  : — "  I  should  be  inexcusable,*' 
says  he,  "  were  I  to  pass  over  Deme* 
trius  of  Suuium.  He  and  Afilipbllus 
of  Alopece  had  been  playmates  in 
childhood,  aj\d  friends  as  young  men, 
and  at  last  they  sailed  to  Egypt  to- 
gether for  their  education,  \  ou  have 
hear<l  of  the  Xtbodiim  A^jathobuluj!, 
who  taught  philosophy  at  Alexandria  ? 
Well,  Demetrius  studied  the  Cynical 
doctrines  under  him^  while  Antiphilus 
turned  his  attention  to  medicine.  In 
1  jgy pt  they  tell  you  that  the  Pyraniids, 
lofty  wB  they  are,  cast  no  shadow,  and 
that  the  statue  of  Memnon  utters  a 
HOund  at  the  rising  of  the  sun.  Deme- 
trius wished  to  sue  antl  hear  for  hini- 
aell.  He  accordingly  sailed  up  iho 
Nile;  but  his  friend  staid  behind, 
being  afraid  of  fhe  beat  and  fatigue  of" 
the  excursiont  Demetrius  had  been 
%\j^  months  away,  when  Antiphilus  fell

into  mbifartiineti^  in  which  he  would 
hiiYe  foUDd  the  value  of  a  true  friend. 
A  ftlavc  of  bia^ — a  Sjriun — along  with 
c  burglars  who»e  ncquaintanec  he 
nrnde,  broke  into  the  temple  of 
AnabU.  Amongst  other  thttifrs  they 
OUTJed  off  two  salvers  and  a  herald's 
all  of  gold,  and  two  silver  imaffes 
^^  do^-fac^l  babooDs,*  The  Sj^rian 
l6ok  charge  of  the  booty^  and  thethieven 
were  aooa  caught  olTenng  for  side  some 
of  the  stolen  goods :  when  put  to  the 
torture  they  confessed  their  crimen  and, 
being  led  to  Antiphilus'a  lodgings,  they 
bronght  out  the  plunder,  which  was 
hid  in  a  corner  under  the  bed.  Both 
the  slave  and  bis  master  were  thrown 
iuto  prison ;  the  latter,  indeed,  was 
rlragget!  awnr  from  the  school  he  was 
attending ;  no  one  offered  him  any  help ; 
thoie,  indeed,  who  had  previously 
COliried  bis  acquaintance  now  shrunk 
from  bis  touch.  *  We  are  polluted,* 
cried  they,  *  by  having  eaten  and  drunk 
with  the  wretch.*  Uis  two  other  slaves 
»eixed  the  opportunity,  packed  up  lifs 
goodSj  and  ran  off  with  them.  In  the 
nriioti  the  unhappy  young  man  was 
looked  on  as  the  most  de|»raved  of 
the  malefactors  there,  *  I  shall  gratify 
Anubi^*  said  the  jailer,  a  devout  man, 
*bT  treaiingmy  prisoner  with  barshneas/ 
Ihd  Aotij^lus  assert  his  innocence  ? 

*  Shamele^  villain !'  was  the  reply,  and 
his  treatment  was  worse  than  before. 
Soon  a  low  fever  crept  on  bim,  and  no 
wouder — he  slept  on  the  ground  with 
his  legs  in  the  stocks ;  by  day,  indeed,  a 
collar  on  his  neek  and  a  chain  on  one 
hand  were  held  sufficient,  but  for  the 
night  bis  whole  body  must  be  fastened. 

*  'fhia  is  more  than  I  can  bear,*  cried 
the  captive;  *  this  stench  and  sulTo- 
catiug  crowd,  this  dank  of  chains  k^ep* 
ing  me  from  my  rest.  I  will  take  no 
more  fo<Ml,  and  so  make  an  end.'  Just 
rhcn  Demetrius  returned  from  bis 
journey  ;  they  told  him  what  bad  be- 
fallen^  and  he  ran  at  once  to  the  prison  ; 
it  w  1.  iVMiinrr,  and  the  jailer  had  long 
as'  door  and  gone  to  sleci), 
bi<l'l  „  hives  keep  watch^  so  there 
was  no  admittance  for  poor  Demetrius. 
Keatt  morning  at  daybreak  he  went 
agAin,  and  by  prayers  and  tears  effected 


an  entrance.  You  have  »^s,i\  j>cople 
after  a  battle  searching  for  the  eorpges 
of  their  relatives;  just  so  did  De- 
metrius examine  the  face  of  each  pri- 
soner in  searching  for  Antiphilus.  So 
altered  was  the  poor  wretch,  that  his 
friend  won  hi  never  have  found  hira, 
bad  he  not  called  out  bb  name.  The 
captive  on  hearing  it,  and  seeing  bis 
friend  approaching,  parted  bis  filthy  and 
matted  Wks  and  drew  them  back  from 
bis  face.  At  the  sight  of  each  other  their 
heads  swam,  and  they  both  swooned 
away.  After  a  time  Demetrius  came 
to  himself  and  restored  his  firiend  to 
life;  bo  first  beard  bis  story  from 
beginning  to  end,  then  tearmg  his 
cloak  f  in  two,  he  threw  one  half  over 
his  own  shoulders  and  the  other  he 
gave  to  Atitiphilus,  having  first  stripped 
him  of  his  dirty  rags.  *  iJe  coudbrted,* 
said  he,  *  dear  Anttphilus ;  I  will  hire 
myself  out  to  the  traders  at  the  harbour, 
and  will  work  as  porter  from  daybreak 
to  noon  ;  by  that  I  shall  earn  a  good 
sum ;  part  will  serve  .to  make  the  Jailer 
more  reasonable,  and  the  rest  wdl  be 
enough  to  provide  us  with  necessaries. 
When  luy  work  ia  over,  I  will  come 
and  sit  with  you,  and  for  the  night  I 
will  make  a  bed  of  leaves  near  the 
prison -door,  ao  even  then  I  shall  not 
be  far  from  you.'  lie  di*l  so,  and 
some  time  passed  in  this  way ;  De- 
metrius went  in  and  out  as  he  pleased, 
and  Antiphilus  found  his  mistgrtuncs 
more  tolerable. 

**  At  length  one  in  the  priison  died^- 
of  poison,  tney  said — ao  a  strict  watch 
was  set  and  no  one  allowetl  ingress, 

*  What  sball  I  do  now  ?*  cried  Deuie^ 
ti'ius.  *  I  will  go  to  the  Vice -prefect 
and  charge  myself  as  accessary  to  the 
plot  fur  plundering  A  nubia's  temple.* 
This  done,  be  was  led  off  to  prison. 

*  Fusion  me  in  the  t^ame  collar  with 
Antiphilus,^  said  he.  He  was  now 
sick  himself,  still  he  made  sport  of  his 
duircrings,  in  hope  he  might  i?et  Anti- 
phi  luii  tu  take  a  little  re^t.  Thus  each 
ibund  his  misery  lightened  by  the 
companionship  of  the  other.  But  now 
their  fortune  took  a  new  turn  :  a  pri- 
soner got  a  file,  and,  a  good  number  of

work  be  ia  said  to  haTe  appropriated  some 
of  the  dif coven ea  and  ideas  of  William 
ll«Howe»  Archdeacon  of  Salisbflry.  the 
•Qtbor  of  **  The  Navigators  supply,"  and

•*  M  ftgneticat  AdTertisemetit*'*  he  published

vcwr  was  tcry  decently  conducted  for

ley's hig:h-soundmg  title  had  hecn  but

that  maketh  him  of  so  haut;  a  spirit  so  to 
brare  the  world  with  anch  prodigiooa  as- 
sertions of  his  roagoeticals/' 

The  Queen's  retjoest  was  complied  with, 
and  Ridley  certainly  came  to  England. 
As  be  did  not  n!turn  to  Russia,  perhnps 
tbe  promise  of  Elizabeth  to  send  some 
otlier  of  her  physicians  was  acted  upon. 
The  letter  was  written  jost  when  the  go- 
vern meot  of  Russia  had  passed  into  the 
bands  of  Boris  Godunor,  the  scheming 
brotber4n-law  of  the  weak  Feodore  Ivano- 
witZr  the  last  of  the  ancient  sovereigns  of 
Russia^  the  descendants  of  Ruric.  The 
circumstances  of  the  election  of  the  new 
Emperor,  as  of  one  who  had  previously 
^own  himself  favoorabk  to  the  English 
merchanta,  are  referred  to  as  strengthen- 
iog  the  alliance  already  existing.  The  let- 
ter IS,  in  fact,  one  of  congratulation  as  well 
as  business.  A  previous  letter  hud  been 
tddrcased  to  the  late  Emperor,  ii«-ilh  the 
operation  of  which  his  death  had  interfered. 

From  the  date  given  in  the  endorsement 
to  the  letter,  it  will  be  seen  that  more  than 
a  twelvemonth  would  elapse  before  the 
physician  could  even  embark  for  England 
at  the  *•  Port  of  St,  Michael,'*  as  Arcliongel 
was  then  called. 

'•  Elisabeth,  &c.  To  the  ryght  high, 
right  mightie,  &c.  When  we  heard  that

Altbough  we  could  not  but  be  grieved  at

in  yo'  election,  remembering  the  kinde

The  subject  of  Kln^  James's  letter  was 
Or.  Reytingber  (a  Dutchman  ?)  who,  I 
believe,  also  attained  a  high  position  among 
medical  men.  The  draft  of  this  letter  is 
badly  written  in  the  cursive  hand  of  the 
time,  and  the  entire  reading  here  given 
would  very  likely  admit  of  some  correction 
as  to  a  few  words. 

Its  date  is  within  a  few  weeks  after  the 
King's  arrival  in  London,  and  appears  to 
require  the  presence  of  the  physician  to 
deal  wiih  some  infirmity  under  which  the 
King  himi^elf  was  labouring,  though  this 
is  not  clearly  exprcftsed.  Being  the  first 
communiculion  with  the  Russian  Emperor 
on  the  part  of  James,  it  also  possesses  a 
political  character  to  a  certain  extent,  and 
expresses  the  King's  esteem  and  good  will 
towards  bis  northern  ally.

time  when  a  Knight  Banneret  was  made 
in  England  has  not  been  precisely  ascer- 
tiiincd  ;  but  it  li  supposed  by  some  that 
Sir  Ralph  Sadler*  and  by  others  that  Sir 
John  Smith,  who  was  knighted  by  King 
Charles  I,  at  the  battle  of  EdgehilL  in 
October,  1(]4*2,  for  having  iccurcd  the 
royal  standard,  was  the  laiit  |>erson  created 
to  that  dignity  ;  unless,  however,  Sir  John 
Smith^fi  banner  waa  delivered  to  him  by 
his  majesty  with  the  usual  formalities 
(which  is  very  doubtful)  he  could  not  have 
been  made  a  R;inueret.^'^  Fortbermorei 
it  has  been  contended  that,  **  as  King 
George  III.  knight^jd  Admirab  Pyc  and 
Spry,  and  Coptninfi  Knight,  Bickertoo  and 
Vernon,  on  board  the  Barfleur  (which,  in 
consequence  of  hid  majesty^s  presence, 
then  bore  the  royal  dtaodard)  in  June, 
1 773, — and  that  as  lie  conferred  the  same 
honour  on  Captain  TroUope  on  board  the 
Royal  Charlotte  yacht  (then  bearing  the 
royal  standard)  in  October,  17117 — those 
officers  beoame  Knights  Bannerets  ;  but 
this  is  evidently  a  miikt^ke,  because  the 
rt>^al  ttandard  wtut  neither  dutptaj^ed  in 
an  '  army  royal"  nor  in  *  open  war,*'  nor 
were  banners  delivered  to  any  of  those 
oflicf^rs.  In  1773  a  pamphlet  was  printed 
on  this  subject,  which  was  reprinted  in 
I77tl,  entitled,  '  A  short  inquiry  into  the 
nature  of  the  titles  conferred  at  Porta- 
mouth  and  iu  the  Camps  by  his  Majesty, 
in  1773  and  1776,  showing  the  origin  and 
audent  privileges  of  Knights  Banneret,* 
(8vo.  pp.  24)  ;  and  that  none  of  the  oM- 
ccrs  in  question  were  crcotcd  Knights

cember, nil,  and  22  March,  ITH.  In 
the  following  year,  viz,  1713,  the  Com- 
roons  of  Ireland  petitioned  the  Queen  to 
remove  him  from  the  Chancellorship,  but 
the  House  of  Lords  and  the  Convocation 
addressed  her  Majesty  on  bis  behalf.  He 
Tttigned  the  Chancellorship  9  October,

lowed the  accession  of  (n-orge  1.  On  the 
20th  of  October,  17  14,  Oxford  conferred 
opon  him  the  degree  of  D.C.L.  It  has

the  borders  of  Berks,  frotn  the  £arla  of 
Marlborough  ;  and  these  two  houses, 
apparently  not  identical,  but  within  a  few

persons  of  the  same  name  for  several  gent'

wai  a  natu'e  of  Reading »  some  connection 
may  posmbly  exUt  between  bim  and  a 
certain  James  PhippSp  of  Swallowfield,  not 
far  from  Reading,  who  married  the  eldest 
daughter  of  Sir  Giles  Brydgeaf  firsit  Baro- 
net, of  AViltnn  Castle,  Herefordshire, 
meestor  of  the  Dukes  of  Chandos. 

Nexti  ab  to  Sir  William ;  the  particnlar^ 
1  ha?e  of  him  are  these.  Hi*  father  was 
Jamea  Phi  pa  (one  p)  of  Brktolt  gunsmitli, 
who  emigrated  to  New  England,  and  lettled 
at  a  plantation  on  the  Hirer  Kennebce^  in 
Ihe  eaatero  portion  of  tbat  country.  By 
his  wife,  who  was  living  in  1097,  Jamea 
Fhipi  had  twenty  sons  and  five  daughters. 
His  younger  eod  was  William  Phipt ,  who 
was  born  at  bis  fatber's  plantation  on  the 
2Dd  of  February ^  lb'50,  and^  being  there- 
fore only  five  years  oh!  at  the  birth  of  Sir 
Con  Stan  tin  E»  the  theory  of  paternity  is  de- 
molished. William  was  baptised  at  North 
Boston,  23rd  Marcb,  169*0^  being  then  forty 
years  of  age.  In  early  lifa  he  was  appren- 
ticed to  a  ship  carpenter,  with  whom  be 
stayed  four  years.  His  proceedings  in  re* 
lation  to  the  treasure  are  to  be  found  in 
Biographical  Dictionaries,  and  need  no  re* 
petition  here.  1  will  therefore  pass  on 
to  his  knighthood,  which  took  place  at 


Windsor,  28  June,  1687.  Sir  William  was 
ap[Kiinted  captain-general  and  governor- 
in-ebief  of  MaJi»<acbusetts  Bay  in  IG90  ; 
biit  be  died  in  lAmdon,  18  February,  1691, 
and  was  hurled  at  St.  Mary  Woolnoth, 
ieaptnff  no  mzi«.  Lady  Fhips  was  the 
daughter  of  Captain  Roger  Spencer,  und 
widow  of  John  Hull  of  Boston,  merchant, 
which  Roger  Spencer  is  stated  to  have  been 
a  man  *'of  good  family.*'  Sir  Williim 
bequeathed  all  his  possessions  to  bis  wife^ 
and  M  nephew  of  bers  assumed  the  name 
of  Phipps  or  Pbipf.  This,  I  conclude,  was 
the  son  of  her  brother,  tbat  is  to  say,  a 
certain  Colonel  S^ wicer- Phi ps,  a  native  of 
New  England,  who  was  appointed  Lieut.- 
Governor  of  Ma.si!»achuBett0  Bay  in  IVIay, 
1 732,  f  ice  William  Tailer,  esq.  deceased, 
and  who  died  in  that  capacity  in  June, 
1757.*  Spencer's  widow  survived  till 
1764,  Tbe  inscription  on  the  monument

Rev.  II.  Mutber,  a  partieulflr  friead  of 
his,  and  a  joint  agitator  for  the  charter

allusion  is  made  to  Sir  William  being 
without  issue  :—

tp  the  eifect  it  would  have  on  the  Anii- 
fnflpjr  Society,  LasUy,  I  spukc  to  the 
following  eiFect : 

•*  My  Lord  President  Morion, — By  the 
goodness  of  Providence,  I  have  lived  to  «ec 
tfe  Presideatc  of  the  Royal  Society  in 
that  chair  which  your  lordship  so  well 
mjb  «ad  adorna ;  being  admitted  by  Sir 
IlMe  Newton  ten  years  before  his  death. 
I  ilMil  not  concern  myself  whether  the 
dtifkiite  belongs  to  the  Council  alone,  or 
to  the  Society  at  large,  but  remark  the 
eoHMeqveneet,  wherein  wisdom  Ghiefly  con - 
aiata.  It  is  advanced)  thit,  a&  Parliament 
boorf,  Courtf  of  Judicatory,  of  dining  io 
general,  were  become  Uter  than  formerly, 
we  oujht  to  meet  later ;  hut  thht  in  roy 
opifiiion,  i<  not  wbely  dooe«  nur  to  he 
ifltitAted  by  a  Philosophical  Society,  made 
up  of  the  frave,  not  the  gay,  part  of  the 
irorld. 

**  This  15  at  once  answered,  by  obaerv- 
inf,  that  our  meetini^  are  always  full, 
both  of  members  and  of  strangers,  curious 
to  hMr  whftt  is  read  and  shown  ;  to  alter 
the  boar  would  not  answer  tbe  design, 
beciiMe  there  u  no  end  of  it.  They  be> 
gsa  their  meetings  at  three  o'clock;  then« 
in  Sir  Uaac  Newion*M  time,  constantly 


kepi  to  four ;  in  Sir  Haas  Sloane^M  time 
lowered  it  to  five ;  now  to  quarter  to  half 
after-  The  pi>  inert  tip  \n  agents  is  gravi- 
tation, going  downwards,  like  «  clock- 
weight,  iind  need  not  be  precipitated. 

**  Consider,  in  winter  time,  at  six,  we 
should  see  the  court  filled  with  candles  in 
lanthoms  coming  to  the  Sot*iety  ;  but  the 
principal  object  of  my  attention  in  this 
debate  respects  Ihe  Antiqunrian  Socieijf, 
which  will  bo  greatly  affected  by  this 
alteration. 

*'  1  wfts  A  founder  of  that  Society,  and 
am  the  only  survivor  of  the  foumlers; 
though  1  have  it  at  heart,  yet  now,  in 
winter  time  eftpeemlly,  1  ean  be  present 
there  but  seldom  ;  meeting  late,  and  late 
before  the  Pre&ideot  takes  the  chair,  I  frc- 
rjuently  am  obliged  to  go  away  before  any 
business  is  done  ;  to  that,  perhaps,  may 
be  owing,  in  some  measkire,  ihnt  I  am  the 
survivor  in  that  Society,  in  this,  in  tbc 
ColIe*;c  of  FhysietHns  ;  thereby  avoiding 
the  damps,  the  dews  of  the  night,  the 
rains,  and  other  inconveniences,  according 
to  the  lattdable  customs  of  our  ancf  stors. 
But  it  is  apparent  enough,  if  the  Royal 
Society  lowers  their  hour  of  meeting,  the 
Anti<]iKtrieB  must  do  the  same,  and  then  I 
can  very  seldom  have  the  pleasure  of  meet- 
ing them. 

"  Lastly,  my  Lord,  it  is  injudicious  to 
thrust  bi>lh  philosophy  and  antiquity  into 
the  obscurities  of  night,  on  which  it  is  our 
bufiness  to  throw  all  the  light  we  can/" 

It  was  moved  by  Lord  CaveiuliKh,  andl 
seeondcd  by  Dr.  istukeley,  "  Whether  it 
be  convenient  to  alter  the  hour  of  meet- 
ing?'" when  nineteen  b^llotted  for  it  and 
thirtv-two  against  it.

Counsels'  Fees. 


Ma<UjiAAN, — In  the  interesting  article 
ID  your  number  of  November  last,  under 
the  head  of  Counsels*  Fees,  your  corre- 
spondent has  evidently  fallen  into  a  mis* 
apprehension  in  regarding  the  persons 
tneotioned  in  the  document  first  cited  by 
htm  as  legal  counsel,  in  the  ordinary  ae- 
e«pttttion  of  the  term.  In  1525,  the  Duke 
of  ^'''^- "-^nd,  then  a  mere  hoy,  was 
•j  I  id-Lieotenant  .and  Warden^ 

YoL,  XLI. 


General  of  the  North,  with  a  Council  to 
assist  him.  This  council  was  both  a 
judicial  and  executive  one,  and,  with  their 
presiiient,  the  Duke  of  Richmond,  eicer- 
cised  exactly  the  same  tunctions  as  the 
Lord-Deputy  and  Council  of  Calais,  the 
Lord- Deputy  and  Council  of  Ireland,  the 
Lord  •  President  and  Council  of  the 
Marches  of  Wale^,

were  not  lawyers;  but  acted  as  councillors, 
and  not  as  eountel  in  the  legal  sense  of 
the  word. 

I  am  quite  sure  your  intelligent  corre- 
spondent will  thank  me  for  pointing  out

The  revised  SUtutes  of  the  Society  ttf" 
Antiguariei,  having  been  almost  unani- 
mously approved  at  the  meeting  of  the  8th 
Dec.  are  now  in  force,  and  have  just  psssed 
the  press  for  the  guidance  of  the  present 
Fellows  and  of  candidates  for  admission. 
They  confirm  the  alteration  of  last  year, 
whereby  the  annual  subscription  was  low- 
ered  to  Two  Guineas,  and  the  admission- 
fee  to  Five;  and  the  provision  for  the  re- 
admission  of  former   Fellows  who  have 
retired  :    botli  of  which  measures  have 
already  been  attended  with  results  which 
completely  iustify  the  anticipations  of  their 
projector,  the  Treasurer.    The  most  ma- 
terial reforms  now  introduced  are, — the  in- 
stitution of  an  Executive  Committee,  the 
duties  of  which  will  consist  in  superintend- 
ing the  correspondence  of  the  Society  on 
all  subjects  relating  to  literature  and  anti- 
quities, and  in  directing  any  antiquarian 
operations  or  excavations  carried  on  by  the 
Society ;  the  appointment  of  Local  Secre- 
taries in  the  provinces  or  in  foreign  coun- 
tries ;  the  reduction  of  the  two  Secretaries 
to  one,  from  whom  a  more  undivided  at- 
tention will  be  required ;  and  the  reduc- 
tion of  the  four  Presidents  to  three,  by 
which  alteration,  and  the  exclusion  of  the 
Secretary   from    the   Council,  altogether 
room  will  be  made  for  the  re-election  of 
three  non -official  members  of  the  Council 
who  may  have  been  found  tlie  most  active 
and   efficient  in   the   execution   of   their 
duties.     Hitherto,  since  out  of  the  eleven 
re-elected  pursuant  to  the  Charter  nine 
were  always  perpetual  officers,  only  two 
other  members  of  the  Society  could  be  re- 
elected ;  now  every  Council  will  consist  of

The  anniversary  of  the  Hoyal  Society 


was  held  on  the  30th  Nov.  when  the  Earl 
of  Rosse,  President,  delivered  his  annual 
address.  The  Copley  medal  was  conferred 
on  Professor  Dove,  of  Berlin,  for  his  work 
on  the  Distribution  of  Heat  over  the  Sur- 
face of  the  Earth ;  and  the  Royal  Medal 
on  Mr.  Charles  Darwin,  the  eminent  na- 
turalist and  traveller,  for  his  works  on 
natural  history  and  geology. 

Lord  Palmerston,  as  Secretary  of  State 
for  the  Home  Department,  has  addressed 
a  letter  to  the  Earl  of  Derby,  Chancellor 
of  the  University  of  Oxford^  announcing 
that  Her  Majesty's  (iovcrnment  are  pre- 
paring a  measure  of  University  Reform, 
and  that  an  intimation  to  that  effect  will 
a|)pear  in  the  Speech  from  the  Throne. 
The  Hebdomadal  Board,  composed  of 
Heads  of  Houses,  and  a  voluntary  Asso- 
ciation of  Tutors,  have  each  been  busily 
engaged  to  the  same  purpose :  but  this 
announcement  from  the  Crown  is  likely  to 
give  a  greater  impetus  to  the  prospective 
changes  than  might  have  attended  their 
more  deliberate  councils. 

The  London  Gazette  of  the  16th  Dec. 
contains  the  convention  between  thii 
country  and  the  Free  Hanseatic  City  of 
Hamburg  for  the  establishment  of  In'er*

it  is  provided  that  the  authors  of  works 
of  literature  or  of  art  shall  be  so  pro- 
tected, that  the  republication  or  piracy  in 
either  State  shall  be  dealt  with  in  the  same 
manner  as  the  republication  or  piracy  of  a 
work  first  published  in  such  other  State. 
The  protection  is  to  be  extended  to  dra-

moat  convenient  manual  of  reference,  espc*

for  whidi  we  do  not  possess  any  other  so 
convenient. 

lliB  public  in Qug^n ration  of  a  new  Atbe- 
useuLu  at  Bnry,  co.  Lancaiitcr,  took  place 
on  Wedneadivy  evening,  Nov.  23,  when 
Lord  Stanley,  M.P.  the  Bishop  of  Man- 
chester, and  several  gentlemen  of  stnnding 
and  influence,  took  pari  in  the  proceed- 
togs.  The  foundation  of  the  building  was 
laid  three  years  ago,  by  the  Earl  of  Derby* 
The  building  has  been  erected  at  a  cost  of 
4,875/. 

Another  literary  institutioD,  promoted 
principally  by  the  Derby  family,  was  in- 
augurated at  Preicoi  on  the  0th  Dec.  It 
ia  a  Working*Man'K  Library,  to  which  the 
Earl  of  Derby  and  Lord  Stanley  have 
e^ch  given  100/.  and  Sir  Thomas  Biroh 
50/.  The  sum  raided  h  large  enough  to 
purchase  about  2,000  volumes,  which  are 
to  be  leot  to  aubfcribers  of  5r.  per  annum. 

The  late  Dr.  Faxis$etV*  Coins  were  sold 
by  Messrs.  Sotbeby  and  Wilkinson,  on 
Deo.  3,  and  realized  hut  a  very  «maU  sum. 
They  were  in  general  in  very  poor  condi- 
tion, and  most  of  the  rare  specimens  were 
forgeries.  The  best  coin  was  s  Hecond- 
broas  of  Alexander  the  Usurper  in  Africa, 
and  which  appears  to  be  unptiblished. 
The  obverse  readi  imp*  Atr.XAKDEfi.  v.v,

the  reverse,  Africa  .  avq.  n.  ;  the  pro-

her  right  hand  a  labamro,  in  her  left  an 
elepliant's  horn ;  at  her  feet,  a  captive  \ 
in  the  exergue,  p.  a.  The  British  coin, 
presumed  (in  the  sole  catalogue)  to  he 
uniqu€^  is  precisely  similar  to  one  in  Mr. 
Rolfe's  cabinet,  engraved  in  vol.  i.  pi. 
xxiii.  fig.  1,  of  Mr.  C.  Roach  Smith's 
Collectanea  Antiqua.  Dr.  Fans  sett's 
specimen,  however,  bears  letters  on  the 
obverse,  t  c  v  N,  which  seem  to  worrant 
its  appropriation  to  CunobeUn.  A  coin 
in  silver,  with  the  letters  E  p,  for  Epit- 
lus,  who  \a  supposed  to  have,  been  a 
Britiijh  piince  in  Kent,  was  secured  for 
the  British  Museum.  This  is,  we  be* 
lieve,  the  fourth  or  tirth  specimen  known, 
all  having  been  found  in  Kent.  The  coins, 
aa  well  as  the  entire  collection  of  antiqui^ 
ties,  were  collected  by  the  grandfather  of 
the  late  Dr.  Faussett,  nearly,  or  quite,  a 
century  ago.  This  collection,  up  to  the 
present  lime,  has  been  lost  to  science, 
from  being  deposited  in  a  country  man- 
sion ;  but  we  trust  it  will  now  be  rendered 
accessible  to  those  who  du  not  Vii3ue  auiiih 
things  merely  as  choice  and  hidden  re1ie>i, 
imperfectly  understood,  and  in  no  \s^j 
appreciated  as  capable  of  being  applied  to 
antiquarian  and  hiitorlcal  objects.    When

the  well-kitown  nrtiigt  Mr.  Piank  Huwnrd, 
brother  of  the  deceased.  It  is  in  three 
compartments^  the  centre  light  being  oc- 
cupied by  euiiopy  work  of  cjtceediugly 
rich  character,  contAiiiing  within  a  niche 
tbe  pfttron  saint,  St.  Matthew  \  beneath 
which  is  a  kneeling  femulo  figure  in  the 
act  of  devotion.  In  the  two  side  lights

John's  Wood,  who  is  now  en^aj^ed  on  tbe 
Urge  we*t  window  of  Norwich  t'atbedral. 
The  style  of  the  dcftign  is  of  n  Intc  ]>priod, 
after  the  manner  of  Albert  Ourer  and 
Louis  Cranach.  On  two  bands  at  tbe  foot

of  her  husband^s  flock/' 

The  cnstem  window  of  St.  Peter'i 
Cbnrcb,  AtMon- under -Lyne^  bas  been 
filled  with  a  fine  collet^tion  of  stained 
glass.  The  window  is  of  the  Katharine 
wheel  or  marigold  design,  fmirteeo  feet  in 
diameter,  and  divided  into  sixteen  cinque- 
foiled  compartuunt*!,  the  tmcery  of  which 
terminates  on  no  inner  circle,  or  sti«r  of 
eight  points,  the  whole  being  surrounded 
by  a  border  of  small  tjnatre* foils.  The 
principal  openings  contain  elegantly  di 
signed  fulMeugth  figures  of  The  Safiotii 
St,  Peter,  St.  Andrew,  St.  James  tf 
Great,  St,  Philip,  8t.  Bartholomew, 
Thomas,  St,  Paul,  St.  James  the  Less,  St 
Jude,  St.  Simon,  and  St.  Matthias.  Each 
of  these  is  habited  in  a  rich  cloak  or  mantle, 
And  they  bear  their  respeotive  emblems« 
In  the  horizontal  divifions  of  the  traoerj 
are  placed  figures  of  the  four  Evangelists, 
in  a  reclining  posture,  with  their  usual 
symbols,  and  as  in  the  act  of  writini;  their 
gospels.  The  back'ground  is  diapered, 
and  alternates  in  red,  blue,  purple,  and 
green  colonring.  Within  the  divisions  of 
tbe  inner  circle  is  displayed,  on  a  radiant 
ground,  the  Hebrew  word  Jehornh,  the 
Dove,  the  Lamb,  tbe  celestial  Crown,  the 
Book  with  the  Scfen  Seals,  the  mono- 
gram I  H  &,  the  Alpha  and  Omega,  and 
the  Sacramental  Cup.  The  trefoil  in- 
terstices of  the  arches  contain  a  foliated 
device,  and  the  outer  quatrefoil  border  is 
varied  by  rich  tints^  In  one  of  the  lower 
compartments  is  inscribed,  *'  The  Gifl  of 
George  Heginbottom,  Esq.,  185:1."  The 
window  was  executed  by  Mr.  David  Evans, 
of  Shrewsbury,  and  is  effective  both  as  re- 
gards the  representation  of  the  several 
figures  and  the  brilliant  and  harmonious 
arrangement  of  colour  displayed  through- 
out the  whole,  which  was  completed  from 
a  design,  the  production  of  his  son,  Mr. 
Chiirles  Evans.

Mr.  hUvvard  KicharJson,  the  sculptor, 
the  restorer  of  the  Temple  effigies  and  of 
thoce  at  Ftford  in  Staffordshire,  has  re- 
eeutly  made  a  very  satisfactory  restoration 
of  an  alabaster  efB|^y  of  the  1 6th  eentury 
in  Nuneatton  churekf  Warwickshire,  hw$ 


that  of  Sir  Marmaduke  Constable,  to  whom 
the  lands  of  the  nunnery  there  were  granted 
at  the  Disaolutioo.  Extensive  repairs 
being  in  progress  in  that  church  under  the 
superiotendence  of  Mr.  Ewon  Christian, 
architect,  it  was  considered  desirable  that 
thia  effigy  should  be  restored,  as  an  his- 
torical record  of  the  past, and  replaced  iti  its 
original  situation.  The  reverend  the  Vicar 
accordingly  applied  toa  college  in  one  of  the 
universities,  where  Sir  Marmaduke  founded 
certain  fcllowshtpa  ;  but  the  funds  not 
being  adequate  for  any  i^raot,  application 
was  made  to  Lady  Strickland,  a  descendant 
of  the  Constable  family,  who,  after  visit-, 
ing  the  church  and  tomb,  liberally  fur- 
Dished  the  necessary  espenses.  An  etching 
representing  tbe  monument  wtit  be  found 
in  Dugdale's  Warv»ickshire.  It  has  a  bold 
moulded  plinth,  and  on  the  front  and  end 
are  four  shields  of  arms.  Tbe  efiigy  was 
almost  reduced  to  a  trunk,  which  was 
covered  witli  iniuaU  and  dates,  and,  but 
for  the  singularly  line  proportions  and 
relief  it  presented,  its  restoration  would 
have  been  questionable,  Exct'iit,  however, 
in  obliterating  the  initials, Stc.  Mr.  Richard- 
son has  left  the  trunk  of  the  effigy  m  it 
was.  The  parts  entirely  gone,  and  which 
he  has  supplied,  are  the  head,  oeck,  hands, 
part  of  one  arm,  the  crest  (a  ship)  on  the 
tilting-helmet,  the  sword,  right  leg  to 
middle  of  shin,  the  left  teg  to  middle  of 
thigh,  the  feet  and  three-fourihs  of  the 
lion  on  which  th«y  rest,  be.sides  v&rions 
minor  details.  The  gauntlets  also,  which 
lie  by  the  right  leg,  were  partly  broken ; 
and  the  dagger-handle,  which  formerly 
appeared  at  the  right  waist,  wa»  wholly 
knocked  awuy.  The  ivhole  of  these  parts 
were  remodelled  and  worked  anew  in 
C  holler  ton  alabaster,  which  was  found  an 
exact  match  to  that  quarried  three  cen- 
turies ago  i  so  that,  except  for  the  account 
wo  now  give,  detection  would  be  impos- 
sible. The  armour,  chtetiy  of  plate,  is 
t^s  elaborately  ornamcntt:d  than  usual. 
A  sketcli  of  Sir  Marmaduke's  portrait  fur- 
nished by  Lady  Strickland,  and  costs  of 
contemporary  works,  gave  all  ihe  aitbo- 
rities  required  ;  tbe  general  details  being 
supplied  especially  by  the  effigy  of  Sir  John 
Peclii''%&t  LulliDgatone,  in  Kent,  and  by  one 
in  Herefiird  cathedral,  which  is  so  eJtactly 
similar  in  date  and  detJiils  that  it  may  he 
regarded  as  having  come  from  the  same 
workshop.  Sir  Marmaduke  wears  a  chain- 
collar,  and  ft  rose-jewel  pendant.  Thia 
and  the  borders  iif  the  armour  throughout 
had  been  gilt ;  but  very  little  trace  of 
colouring  remained,  except  on  the  thieldi 
of  arms.  Sir  Maniiudukc's  shield  of  amis 
is  quarterly  of  four  ;  —  1.  Quarterly  giilea 
and  vaire,  a  bend  or  ;  2.  Chccquy  or  and

seems  laid  in  Englund,  the  second  in  Hol- 
land, and  the  third  in  the  New  World. 
The  first  will  be  not  the  least  interesting 
to  our  American  cousins,  who  have  of  late

tigMting  the  cradles  of  Iheir  forefathers. 
From  one  of  the  historical  essays  of  the 
Rev,  Joseph  Huoter*  the  historian  of 
South  Yorkshire,  and  from  the  researches 
of  the  Rev»  John  Waddingtoti,  of  South- 
wark,  the  author  has  derived  many  inte- 
resting particulars  respecting  those  early 
Puritan  families  from  which  the  first  set- 
tlement on  the  Ami^rican  continent  ori- 
ginated ;  whilst  seveml  puljlicdtionA  issued

terials of  the  work ,  M  r,  Bdrtlett  bns  him- 
self pursued  the  waiidenngs  of  the  Pilgrim 
Fathers,  and  he  describes  both  the  scenery 
and  the  relics  of  their  dwelling-places  in 
a  very  agreenble  manner.  We  transcribe 
a  sliftht  but  charactertstic  anecdote  from 
his  visit  to  Cape  Cod^  the  spot  in  which 
the  pilgrims*  ship  first  found  shelter  from 
the  storms  of  the  Atlantic  : 

*' The  Cape  is  divided  into  townships, 
one  of  which  bears  the  honoured  name  of 
Brewster.  A  small  village  with  an  inn 
serres  as  the  centre  of  these  districts.  At 
one  of  these,  where  we  stopped  to  dine,  I 
noticed  a  halc^  ruiidy-lookiug  man,  who 
turned  out  to  be  the  brother  of  the  land- 
lord, and  after  dinner  unrolled— of  all 
things— a  fimiily  tree,  in  which  the  descent 
of  the  various  branches  of  his  house  were 
traced  with  all  the  accuracy  of  the  Heralds* 
College.  This  family  I  found  had  emi- 
grated from  Eogland,  itnd  were  not  a  little 
proud  of  their  derivation  from  the  Old 
Country,  They  had  thriven  too,  for  the 
innkeeper,  on  learning  that  I  was  an  Eag- 
li&hman,  took  me  over  a  Urge  house  not 
far  off,  very  handsomely  furniibcd,  which 
he  said  was  his  private  residence,  and  in 
which  hung  up  the  poi trait  of  his  proge- 
nitor. Not  long  after  I  £aw  a  paragraph 
in  the  newspaper^  stating  that  the  brother 
of  this  gentleman  had  presented  a  chalice 
to  the  church  of  that  towo  in  England 
from  whence  his  anceators  were  orlginaUy 
derived." 

With  sentiments  such  as  these  so  gene- 
rally diffused,  wc  can  imaglue  what  the 
popularity  of  this  charming  book  must  be

same  time  to  reflect,  that,  in  consequence 
of  the  inimitable  quality  of  its  beautiful 
illustrations,  no  pirate  can  divert  its  due 
proceeds  from  their  legitimate  proprleton.

whole  forming  a  very  interesting  and 
very  osefiil  work^  though  now  exceedingly 
imperfect,  partly  from  an  original  de- 
iieiencf  of  informatioDr  and  partly  from 
the  changes  which  in  the  lapse  of  time 
arc  concinuaily  occurring.  If  Dr.  Hume 
would  undertake  the  pains  of  preparing  i 
rerlaed  edition  *  enlarged  to  the  present

of  tbe  works  of  tbeae  leemiog  literary  hives: 
it  furnishes  also  the  dates  of  foundationr

dirc^cting  officers  of  most  of  the  new  So-

the  latter  are  the  Eoi^li^h  Historical,  the

respecting  membership,  fees,  their  pub-

Bandbook  io  the  Library  qfthi  BriOtk 
Mtueum.  By  Richard  Sims,  Smaii  890. 
pp.  400. — It  has  often  been  remarked  that 
some  such  manual  as  this  was  a  deside* 
ratum ;  for,  whibt  other  departments  of 
the  nntioQat  collections  have  long  been 
supplied  with  popular  catalogues  and  sy- 
nopses, none  has  hitherto  been  provided 
for  its  literary  stores  :  the  various  classes 
and  dirisioDs  of  which  are  now  so  multi* 
farioua  that,  except  to  the  habituh  of  the 
Reading  Room?,  there  is  some  danger  of 
starvation  even  in  the  midst  of  plenty. 
The  defxciency  was  pointed  out  during  the 
inveitigatioQa  of  the  late  Commission,  and 
recommended  to  be  remedied  by  authority. 
Although  the  present  is  not  an  official 
publication,  it  comes  from  a  trustworthy 
quarter,  Mr*  Sims  being  one  of  the  li&sist- 
ants  in  the  Department  of  Manuscripts, 
and  one  who  has  already  done  some  good 
service  by  hb  laborious  Index  toils  He- 
raldic Viftitfttionfl  and  genealogical  volumes. 
After  a  brief  history  of  the  National  library, 
and  of  the  various  collections  of  which  it 
is  composed,  the  preseot  manyai  escplains 
the  regulations  respecting  Readers,  and 
describes  the  catalogues  at  present  in  use. 
There  are  now  eleven  several  collections 
of  Manuscripts,  each  of  which  has  its  re- 
spective catalogue  :  L  Sloaae  ;  2.  Cotto* 
nioD ;  3.  Barleian  ;  4.  Royal  ^  5.  Lans^ 
downe  j  6.  Uargrate ;  7,  Bumcy  ;  8. 
King's  ;  9.  Egerton  ;  10,  Arundel  \  11< 
Additional.  The  collections  of  Chnrten 
and  Rolls  are  as  maoy  in  number.  As 
for  the  volumes  of  Catalogues  of  Books 
their  name  is  Legion.  But  when  slmll 
we  see  a  rational  Bummsry  catalogue  of 
reference,  such  as  an  auctioneer  would 
get  up  in  a  few  weeks  ?  Never,  we  fear, 
under  the  present  adtninistralioQ  of  tho 
Printed  Book  department.  Mr.  Sims's 
manual  is  chiefly  valuable  for  his  syoop- 
tical  review  of  the  treasures  of  the  depart- 
ment with  which  he  is  moat  familiar.  He 
has  briefly  described  them  in  classes,  spe- 
cifying the  most  remarkable,  on  a  plan 
which  is  suggestive  of  many  valuable  bints 
to  the  inquirer.  The  caialogue  of  the 
books  kept  for  ready  reference  In  tbe  Read* 
ing- Rooms  is  also  useful.

pp»  535  (fioAn'jF  Cluteicai  Library,)  This 
plan  of  uniting  authorst  who  have  only

as  it  only  regards  arrungenient,  and  not 
execution,  we  shall  not  stop  to  discuss  it. 
The  translator,  in  rendering  Terence,  has 
followed  the  text  of  Volbehr  (Kiel,  1846),

for  the  present.  The  metrical  translation

The  Fatti,   THttia,    Pontic    BpUtltt,

1^,  T.  Eitey,  B,A.  pott  Btfo.  pp,  jr«d9. 
503  (Holm's  Clajisical  Library.)— This  is 
the  fini  volume  of  a  conipletA  traoalation 
of  Ovid ;  the  second  containi  the  Meta- 
morphoses; and  the  third  the  HeroideSf  the 
Amatory  Works,  and  the  rest  of  the  minor 
ones.  Whether  the  Amatory  Works  were 
worth  exposing  to  English  readers,  with- 
out larger  oroistiona  than  have  b«en  made, 
U  a  t[uestioa  ;  at  all  events  they  did  not 


deaerve  the  additional  ittrafitioo  of   an 
Aphrodisiac  frontispiece. 

Our  coocem,  however,  is  with  the  lint 
volume,  whicbf  (aa  they  can  be  bad  sepa- 
rately,)  may  be  eonaidert^d  apart,  for  its 
contents  are  tbe  moat  importaot.  Some 
account  of  former  translaiioos  of  tlie  Fasti, 
ike,  a  brief  memoir  of  Ovid  (rather  too 
indulgent  to  his  moral  character),  and  a 
obronological  introdiiction  to  the  Fasti, 
are  prefixed.  Tbe  tran&lator^s  professed 
object  is  **  to  exprcas  the  meaning  of  tbe 
author  with  fidelity  and  tolerable  neatness 
of  diction/'  and  this  we  think  be  baa  at* 
tained.  In  the  Fasti  he  has  followed  tbe 
text  of  Krebs;  in  tbe  Tribtia  and  Pontic 
Epistles^  that  of  Valpy's  Clasaics.  Tbe

published from  tbe  Eocydopiedia  Metro- 
politanai  meotions  Mcrkers  edition  of  tbe 
Fasti  (Berlin,  IB41),  and  Oberhn's  of  the 
Tristia,  De  Poo  to  ^  and  Ibis  (Strasburgh, 
n78),  as  tbe  best.  That  elegant  volume, 
which  combines  tlie  ^*  flebiles  Naaonis  lu 
bellos/'  as  its  editor  happily  terms  them, 
is  however  rather  a  tutor's  than  a  learner's 
edition.*  The  Tristia  and  Ibia  were 
edited  by  Merkel  in  1837  (Berlin),  with  a 
Tait  array  of  criticisro,  aad  little  expUna* 
tion.  He  has  added  a  long  '*  Prolosio  ia 
Ibio,''  and  the  ancient  Scholia  on  that  n- 
markable  poem,  which  sometimes  require 
OAQotfltiaii  themselfes. 

Niebnbr,  who  scatters  many  Talnable 
literary  notices  thronghoot  his  hiatories, 
says  of  Ovid,  *^  Next  to  Catullus,  he  la 
the   most    poetical    among    tbe    Roman 

poets None  can  have  a 

greater  talent    or  a  greater   facility  for 
writing  poetry   than  Ovid  had  :    and  in 
this  respect   he    may  take   rank   among 
the    very    greatest    poeta.    ..... 

Ofid^s  faciiiioM  is  manifiest  everywhere. 
The  faults  of  hia  poetry  are  well  under- 
stood, and  do  not  requirt:  to  be  mentioned 
here."  (Lect.  on  Roman  Hist.  ii.  166-7.)  ^.

of  elegance,  a  double  value.  They  exhibit 
a  picture  of  tbe  human  mind  under  very 
singular  ciroumatances ;  and  they  contain 
many  curioua  observational  which  no  Ro- 
man, except  Ovid,  could  have  the  oppor-

Tfaere  are  two  questiouf  affecting  the 
pocma  in  this  volume ^  riz,  tbe  cause  of 
Otid^s  banishmeat ;  a,nd  the  subject  of  the 
Ibis.  Of  the  tirst»  Niebuhr  Bays,  *'  the 
cause  of  bis  uafortunate  exile  is  a  mystery, 
which  DO  human  iugenaity  will  ever  clear 
up^  and  concerning  which  an  endless  vs« 
riety  of  absurd  opinions  are  abroad/'  As 
be  himself  is  avowedly  uu  teerel  (to  use  a 
French  expression),  we  cannot  hope  to  get 
an  insight  of  a  casket,  which  is  double- 
locked  against  us.  Those  who  fancy  that 
by  shaldQg  it  they  can  guess  at  the  con- 
teoti,  may  satisfy  themselves,  but  caa 
hardly  expect  to  convince  others.  Ue  tells 
Grsdnas^  his  sympathising  friend^  that  it 
would  not  be  safe  to  mention  tbe  cause* 
ajid  forbids  him  to  inquire  farther.  (Font 
1.  ti,  SI*)  To  bis  Thraciflu  patron,  King 
Cotys,  whom  it  was  doubtless  an  object 
not  to  alienate  by  iii-timed  taciturnity^ 
he  is  equally  inaccessible,  and  desires  him 
to  ask  no  questioos,  beyond  tbe  mete  fact 
of  bb  having  written  the  Art  of  Love ; 
that  Is  to  say^  be  tells  only  part^  and  this 
the  least  material  (P.  i.  ix.  75.)  But  he 
doei  express  a  vosh  to  FabiuSf  that  he 
eoald  defend  himself  in  all  reapectST  by 
representing  Cupid  as  refusing  to  do  so, 
beyond  tbe  charge  of  aotbomhip.  (i^.  iii. 
71.)  To  Brutns  he  profeiaes  repentance, 
which  is  very  different  from  Innooence, 
md  hardly  agrees  with  involuntary  error 
(1,  L  59.)  He  positively  forbids  bis  wife 
to  defend  his  conduct,  owning  thst  silence 
is  best  in  s  bad  cause,  **  Mala  causa 
silenda  est,"  and  bids  ber  confine  herself 
to  prayers  and  tears  (3,  i,  147  j  That  the 
camse  was  one  of  just  offence  to  Augustus 
is  plain^  from  the  words,  "  rettovera  tua 
Tulnera  *'  (Tr.  ii.  209)  ;  and  his  wife  must 
have  been  in  danger,  from  his  tbAuking  tbe 
£mperor  for  sparing  it  (5,  ii.  55.)  Yet 
bis  disclaimer  otany/actnus  seems  to  bare 

♦  It  was  a  happy  idea^  to  regard  his

been  accepted  (5,  xi.  17) ;  and  he  protesti 
to  the  shades  of  i^ls  parents,  in  that  Elegy 
which  is  meant  to  serve  as  a  biographyp 
that  error,  not  crime,  was  the  cause  of  bit 
banishment  (T«  4*  x.  90«)  He  even  uses 
the  expressions  dtc^tte  cuipof^  **  My  fault, 
committed  through  deception,**  as  Mr, 
Riley  tranalfttea  it  (R  4,  ri.  15),  thus 
shifting  the  bUme,  while  he  appears  to 
admit  iU  Bat  when  he  comes  to  the  point, 
be  is  enigmatic,  and  if  the  Sibyls  had  pre- 
dicted his  fall,  they  could  hardly  have  done 
io  more  obscurely.  The  **  Irsi  principis 
ira  "  is  the  s ubitauce (T.  4 ,  x.  9B.)  Coming 
somewhat  closer,  he  says  he  is  punished 
because  he  witnessed  a  crime,  aod  that  his 
only  fault  was  having  eyes  (T.  3,  v.  49), 
on  which  account  he  compares  himself  to 
ActKoo  (ii.  105.)  Of  all  this,  the  reader 
may  make  what  be  thinks  best.  Crevior 
inclines  to  hii  being  implicated  in  tbe  mis- 
conduct  of  the  younger  Julio.  Ouwens,  iu 
his  ^^  Noctes  Hagana/'  17  BO,  argues  at 
some  length  that  he  was  privy  to  it. 
Schiracb  [e»L  Sehirechiuf^  Oberhn)  has  a 
curions  conjecture  in  his  ^'Clftvis  Poetarttm 
Cl&ssicorom,'*  part  ii.  p,  146.  **  Suspicor 
propter  verba  errerii  imttff9  (E^onti  S,  ii. 
57*)  Oridium  forte  nesciisse,  forte  dissi* 
mulasse  se  nesciisse  esse  Julism,  quom 
forte  in  quodani  loco  iDhonesto  inventam 
ratos  erat  aliam  longe  femioam  esse."* 
The  harmony  of  his  married  life,  and  hii 
being  now  a  grandfather,  rather  militate 
against  this  supposition.  Mr.  Riley  thinks 
the  reason  was  a  political  one,  with  which 
the  idea  of  Merkel  agrees,  vis.,  that  he 
was  Involved  in  the  fall  of  AgHppa  Posthu- 
mus  (p.  395)}  nor  is  the  difference  of  a 
year  a  serious  objection,  as  tbe  discovery 
of  his  complicity  might  not  have  been 
made  at  once.  We  have  sometimes  thought 
that  his  disgrace  may  have  been  connected 
with  the  superstitious  practice  of  Augustus^ 
of  personating  a  beggar  once  a  year,  (Suet, 
in  Oct  91.)  Sach  an  act  was  likely  to 
have  caused  him  some  mortifications,  from 
persons  who  did  not  recognise  him,  or 
affected  not  to  do  so  i  nor  was  he  of  a 
character  to  forbear  resenting  it  after- 
wards. If  any  of  Ovid's  associates  thus 
mifidemeaned  themselves,  be  may  have 
shared  the  blame.  But,  as  Oberlin  some- 
times says  of  conflicting  notes  on  the  Ibis, 
**  looerta  omnia. ^^  Ue  aimed  at  conceal- 
ment, and  has  succeeded ;  nor  CAti  the  most 
elaborate  investigation  get  beyond  what 
Millot  bos  simply  said:  **  S&  mauvaise 
conduitc  tui  attira  une  disgrace;  ilmourut 
en  exil  "  (Hist.  Anc.  ii,  362.)  Tbe  Em- 
peror hail  begsu  to  relent,  when  his  death 

*  The  case  of  Messalina,  and  the  words 
of  Juvenal,  ^^Titulum  mentita  Lyciscsei** 
are  applicable  here.  (9at,  ri*  133.)

the  vtrba  eitnina  (denounced  in  1.  231) 
aniwer  to  the  Stoic  philosophy  which  ex- 
hibits itjtelf  in  his  poem  (p,  40O).  He  al»o 
thinkii  that  the  subject  was  hushed  up, 
through  fear  of  the  Ibvt  himself,  aa  an 
informer,  or  of  Tiberina;  an  argomeut 
which  applies  more  forcibly  to  hia  eilence 
concerning  the  cause  of  banishment.  Pro- 
perty speiiking,  this  poem  is  not  a  satire, 
bnt  an  invective.  It  ia  interesting,  as 
Ovid 'a  first  attempt  of  the  kind^  at  the  age 
of  50  (see  1.  t.5);  but  so  much  of  it  is 
occnpied  with  bisiorical  references,  that 
the  author  seldom  appears.  To  the  impre- 
cations with  which  it  abounds,  the  horrid 
fate  of  Sota^es  might  have  been  added. 
That  the  oppressor  hoped  to  obtain  a  con- 
(iscatton  of  Ovid's  property,  in  which,  how- 
ever, he  was  disappointed,  appears  to  be 
inferrible  (Ibis,  I.  19;  Triat/ii.  120) 

Those  who  are  carious  on  the  subject 
of  the  bird  which  has  given  n  name  to  two 
satixci,  the  one  Greek  and  the  other  Ro- 
man, will  find  an  essay  on  the  subject  in 
Cuvicr's  '*  Theory  of  the  Earth, *»  pp.  291>-

*'  Mummy  of  the  Egyptian  Ibis,*'  in  Gent, 
Mug.  Aug.  1336,  p.  H5,from  Mn  W.  H. 
Rosser,  who  had  lately  unwrapped  one,  and 
obtained  a  tine  and  perfect  specimen .  Nei- 
ther, however,  notices  the  poetical  claims 
of  ihe  bird  to  distinction.  But  after  Obcr- 
lin^s  note  on  the  word  Ibi^i,  in  his  Clavi§, 
the  student  will  be  glad  to  know,  where  he 
can  had  the  zoological  part  of  the  subject

Merkel  prefers /aela.  He  has  ably  avoidedl 
some  of  the  dangers  by  which  a  translator  I 
of  the  Fasti  is  beset.  Of  the  fragment  i  "

the  primBcval  period,  found  by  Mr.  Samuel 
Andcrsoo,  of  Whitby,  in  British  tumuli 
in  Yorkshire.  Some  of  them  resembled 
rude  combs,  and  were  probably  made  for 
that  use }  bot  it  had  been  suggested  tliat 
they  were  instruments  used  for  tattooing,

J,  Y*  Akerman,  cjq.  Sec.  communicated  ] 
a  drawing  of  a  skull  which  had  been  for- 
warded to  him  by  M»  Troyon,  of  Belair. 
This  skull  bad  been  found  in  the  ancteni 
tombs  of  that  locality,  of  which  an  ac- 
count has  been  communicated  to  the  { 
Society  of  Antiquaries  of  Zurich.  It  ii  , 
remarkable  for  the  depression  of  tht  I 
frontal  bone,  evidently  by  artificial  menos, 
M.  Troyon  states  that  crania  of  similar 
Form  were  found  some  years  ago  in  Hun- 
gary, and  tliat  Dr.  Gosse,  of  Geneva,  had 
discovered  one  or  two  of  the  same  descrip* 
tion  near  the  mountain  of  the  Salive. 
Professor  Retziu^i,  ot  Stock  holm,  had 
given  his  opinion  that  the  depression  liad 
been  produced  by  artificial  means;  a  prse- 
tice,^  according  to  Herodotus,  observed  by 
the  ancient  Scythians.  As  these  dis- 
coveries are  entremely  rare  in  Europe, 
and  as  they  very  clearly  belong  to  a  period 
of  invasion,  M.  Troyon  was  led  to  con- 
clude til  at  these  remarkable  skulls  may  bo 
ascribed  to  Scythians  brought  to  the 
locality  where  ti>ey  were  discovered  as 
prisoners  by  Ihe  Burgundian  settlers  and 
conquerors*  Mr.  Akerman  observed  that 
the  inquiry  might  be  assisted  by  our 
ascertaining;,  by  means  of  the  relics  found  i 
with  the  rcmuins,  the  probable  status  of  ^ 
the  individual  interred,  and  tliat  be  bad 
written  to  M.  Troyon  with  that  object. 

Mr,  J.  Byles  exhibited  a  fibula  of  the 
late  Roman  or  Anglo-Saxon  period,  found 
at  Box  moor,  Herts,  It  it  of  circular  form, 
and  bears  a  device  resembling  a  coin. 

Aug.  W.  Pranks,  esq*,  alio  exhibited 
a  fibula  of  circular  form,  hearing  the 
sedeut  figure  of  Rome,  as  on  the  coina 
of  the  Lower  Empire,  with  an  unintelligible 
arrangement  of  letters  around  the  figure, 
but  evidently  an  attempt  to  imitate  the 
legend  invicta  ,  roma  .  aktkrna*  This 
device,  and  the  siitc  of  tlic  fibula,  which 
measures  2  ^5,  inches  in  dinmcter,  will  re- 
mind the  numismatist  of  the  large  ailrer 
medallion  of  Priscus  Attains  (a.d.  409), 
preserved  in  the  British  Museum* 

Sir  Henry  Ellis  communicated  traa- 
Bcripts  of  four  letters  written  by  Nehemla 
Wharton,  a  cubultern  officer  of  the  Earl 
of  Essex's  army,  in  the  autumn  of  1642,

on  his  way  from  JeriisiQlem,  permission 
WAS  granted  to  Wilhani  of  London,  hia 
son,  and  Osbert  of  Colchester,  his  kina-

military  service,  so  long  as  they  remain  in 
our  territories."  The  ^rjint  is  dated  at 
Paris  in  1115.  j\L  De  Lisle  supposea 
th.it  the  two  personages  mentioned  in  this

KUUISMATIC  SOCIKTr. 

Nov.  24,  W.  B.  Ditikinson,  esq.  of 
Leamington  commumcated  an  elaborate 
defence  of  *'  Ring-Money  as  a  Medium  of 
Exchange,*'  in  reply  to  certain  strictures 
on  former  papers  of  Mr.  Dickinson,  pub- 
lished by  Mr.  Vanx  in  the  lust  number  of 
the  Numismatic  Chronicle.  Mr.  Dickin. 
son  commenced  hia  paper  by  a  definition 
of  **  money,"  which  he  considered  to  be 
**  every  article  which  is  generally  accepted 
la  a  community  as  a  representative  of 
property  and  a  medium  of  exchange," 
whethtr  this  be  hulhon,  jewels,  cowrie 
shtllg,  cloth  of  certain  known  leneths  (as 
in  Iceland),  or  masses  of  salt  of  a  fixed 
weight ;  while  by  barter  he  understands 
"  the  exchange  of  one  article  for  another, 
such  articles  being  u^ed  or  required  for 
the  necessities  of  life,  and  not  laid  by  in 
store  for  the  purchase  of  other  comnaodi- 
ties.**  At  the  same  time  he  did  not  think 
it  needful  to  constitute  the  character  of 
money  thai  articles  should  be  adjusted  to 
a  certain  definite  and  unchanging  weight, 
or  should  consist  of  several  sizen,  as  these 
are  refinements  and  iraprovcments,  but  do 
not  atfect  the  principle.  Mr.  Dickinson 
noticed  next  the  form  in  which  the  earlier 
nations  kept  their  money,  which  he  jndgfs 
mu^t  have  been  "  of  $«uch  a  character  that 
it  could  be  looped  together  like  rings,*' 
u  view  which  he  deduced  from  the  account 
of  the  money  found  in  Benjamin*^s  t^acki 
from  a  picture  in  Sir  Gardner  Wilkinson's 
**  Egypt,"  copied  from  the  walls  of  one  of 
the  catacombs  in  tbat  country,  from  the 
story  of  Rebecca  in  Gen.  xxiv.  22,  and  from 
that  of  the  Midianites  in  Judges  viii,  2\, 
K 


A  n  iiq  ua  t  'ian  R0*§archt$* 


The  atme  object  of  *' looping  together,*^ 
Mr.  DickLUftOQ  trao«s  in  the  occient  gold 
rings  of  Irrland,  the  interaal  apertures  of 
which  are  too  ten  all  to  have  been  used  aa 
fioger,  e«r,  or  nose  rinf^s  ;  while  the  tame 

Sraetioe  ia  itill  in  vogue  in  China  and 
apAUi  and  muj  ho  traced  in  the  former 
ootintrj  (if  Mr.  WtUlama  ia  correct  in  h\& 
estimiLtion  of  the  dates  of  the  Chineso 
dyniitiea)  ai  early  as  d.c,  1118.  The  use 
of  rings  (at  the  present  day)  for  money, 
Mr.  Dickinson  showed  from  an  anecdote, 
lacntioned  by  Mr.  Booomi,  of  the  pur- 
chaae  of  a  slave  from  a  Jelab  dealer;  while 
he  stated  that  Lieut  Cmttendeni  now  Aa- 
tistant  Polilkal  Agent  at  Aden*  made  use 
of  ear-rings  of  silver  when  trading  with  the 
Bedouins  of  Socotra.  Mr.  Denton,  alio, 
a  missionary  at  Regent*  near  Sierra  Leone, 
affirms  that  the  gold  rings*  common  in 
that  part  of  Africa^  are  rarely  used  aa 
omanaents,  but  generally  aa  money  in 
trading.  In  the  con  clot  Ion  of  hia  paper, 
Mr.  Dickinson  atated  that  he  was  equally 
at  variance  with  Mr.  Vaux  on  the  aubject 
of  that  apecifs  of  coin  termed  "  Fish-hook 
money,'*  which  he,  Mr.  VauE^  had  af- 
firmed to  belong:  to  Laristdot  in  Perflia, 
and  not*  as  Mr.  Oickioson  had*  in  former 
papers,  asserted,  to  the  Island  of  Ceylon. 
Mr.  Dickinson  «aid*  that  in  the  island 
itself  this  coin  was  known  by  the  names  of 
*'  Cooo-recdi*'  and  ^'dudu-maffu*'^  both  of 
which  mean  '*  book-money, "  that  it  is 
proved  from  Knox's  **  Account  of  Cey- 
lon** to  have  been  current  there  more 
than  two  centuries  a^ o ;  and  that,  though 
rarely,  instances  hare  boen  found  of  such 
money  beaming  a  stamp  upon  them,  re- 
sembling tlie  churacteni  of  the  Utvanagari 
alphabet. 

Mr.  John  Kvans  read  a  paper,  **  On  the 
attribution  of  a  new  type  in  silver  to  Dub- 
novellaunua,"  in  which  he  expreased  a 
doubt  AS  to  the  correctness  of  the  former 
iittHbiition,  by  Taylor  Combe,  of  the  coin 
which  lie  calls  that  of  Dumnorix,  a  chief  of 
the  ^'Eduans*  who  is  mentioned  by  Ctesar. 
Dn  the  contrary,  Mr.  Kvanii  betievea  that 
the  coin  iu  question  is  not  of  Gaulish  but 
of  British  origin,  chiefly  because  iu  the 
vast  collection  of  Gaulish  coins  in  the 
Bibliotheque  Naliouale  at  Paris,  which  has 
bean  carefully  catalogued  by  M.  Ducha- 
lais,  no  similar  specimen  is  found*  while 
there  \&  a  con^i  Inuhlc  rvRemblance  in  typt: 
and  workmaiiihrp,  bgth  of  the  obverse  and 
rtver^Cj  to  coins  of  acknowledged  British

Mr.  Yates,  in  opening  the  prooeed* 
inga  of  another  Sesaion,  offered  •omei 
observations  on  the  success  which  had 
attended  the  undertaking  carried  out  with 
BO  much  spirit  and  good  tsste  by  their 
noble  President,  in  connexion  frith  the 
Induatrial  Exhibitioti  at  Dublin.  Many 
memben  of  the  Inititute  had,  in  rommun 
with  himself,  viewed  with  the  highc^it  in- 
terest the  remarkable  aasemblage  of  ancient  ■ 
relics  arranged  tinder  Lord  Talbofs  dircc*i 
tiou  in  the  *'  Archaeological  Court ;"  and 
they  would  long  remember  with  gratifica- 
tion, not  only  the  occasion  thus  presented 
to  English  antiquaries  of  l>ecoming  ar- 
quainted  with  the  singular  antiquities  of 
the  sister  kingdom,  but  the  advantage 
which  had  accrued  on  this  occasion,  by 
bringing  us  into  friendly  communication 
with  many  persons  of  congenial  tastes  and 
pursuits.  It  might  be  hoped  that  Ijord 
Talbot*s  energetic  efforts  in  the  formalion

of  thi«  intereating  work. 

lir.  Grerille  Cheater  communicated  an 
■oeoiiiit  of  Wangford,  near  Bmnilon,  in 
Sttflolk,  and  of  niimeroua  ancient  relict 
obtained  by  him  from  that  locality.  He 
dieacribed  a  atogakr  sandy  tract  which  it 
thickly  atrewed  with  bones  of  men  and 
animAlSf  fragments  of  Eotnfin  pottery  in 
prolaaloii,  broken  querna.  and  relics  of 
bcIaI.  Ntunarous  coins,  beads,  and  other 
pcrtonal  ornaments,  have  been  picked  up 
•i  tmzioQs  times,  and  amongst  these  ^ome 
of  gold  ;  but  they  have  been  dii- 
with  the  e]u;eption  of  the  collec- 
tiooft  formed  by  Mr.  Chester  and  by  Mr. 
EafUio,  of  Lakeuiieath,  of  which  a  deacrip- 
ttam  wwm  givea.  The  site  must  have  been 
occupied  in  early  times  by  a  considerable 
population.  Mr.  Chester  had  sought  in 
fmin  for  any  relics  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  age, 
but  he  described  another  locality «  about  a 
ttilk  diatantfrom  Wangford,  where  several 
8i3n>a  unii  bad  been  disinterred. 

Some  obeervations  were   rend  on   the 

Siposcd  *' Restorations^'  of  Sompting 
Brcli,  Susaez,  and  the  apprehension 
that  the  carious  architectural  features  of 
that  early  fabric  might  suffer  iujnry.  In 
tb«  Qooversation  which  ensued,  the  Rev. 
J*  L.  Petit  stated  his  opinion  of  the  very 
iatereatiiiig  character  of  this  relic  of  Saxon, 
or  very  early  Norman  architecture,  and 
bow  desirable  tt  were  to  guard  against  any 
risk  of  tiiob  roettlta  as  too  frequently  arise 
from  il4lldidoii«  renovation  snd  repairs. 

A  eommnniration  was  received  relating 
to  ttie  aummneotBl  effigies  at  Cbenies, 
Docks, deweibod  by  the  Rev.  J.  U.  Kelke, 
at  a  previous  tnecting,  as  noticed  in  this 
Msgaaiue,    Nov,    183^.     The    writer    of 


these  remarks  inclined  to  assign  the  me- 
rooriala  to  tike  De  Couci  family,  and  not 
to  the  Chcn(7S,  as  had  been  shewn  in 
Mr.  Kelkc's  memoir. 

Mr.  Augustus  Franks  gnve  an  account 
of  a  valuable  nfitrolsbe,  braring  date  1342^ 
probably  of  English  workmanship,  en- 
graved with  Arabic  numeriils,  and  calcu- 
lated for  the  meridian  of  London*  Mr. 
Franks  had  noticed  it  in  the  museum  of 
Mr.  Joseph  Mayer,  F.S.A.  at  Liverpool  $ 
and  it  had  been  llbersliy  presented  by 
that  gentleman  to  the  British  Museum,  to 
be  placed  witli  tlic  astrolabe  described  by 
Mr.  Franks  at  a  former  meeting.  He 
gave  some  iolcresting  particulars  regard- 
ing the  various  uses  of  the  astrolabe,  and 
the  ancient  treatises  on  that  instrument, 
of  which  that  written  by  Chaucer  is  the 
most  worthy  of  attention.  Major  Raw* 
linson  had  informed  Mr.  Franks  that  he 
had  found  the  astrolabe  very  serrtceable 
in  parts  of  Africa,  and  in  Eastern  cuttn- 
tries,  where  the  natives  look  with  suspi- 
cion upon  astronomical  or  other  scientific 
instrumenu  used  by  Eoropeans.  The 
(kcility  with  which  the  astrolabe  may  bo 
employed  had  frequently  obviated  the  im- 
pediments caused  by  such  a  feeling. 

Mr.  Birch  sent  for  examination  onme- 
rous  objects  of  the  Roman  period^  found 
at  St,  Alban^s,  accompanied  by  an  aooonnt 
of  the  remains  of  a  building  recently 
broken  up  at  that  place,  with  vestiges  of 
a  hypocaust,  &c.  Mr.  Birch  considers  it 
to  have  been  a  villa  ;  and  he  sent  several 
portions  of  mural  decorations,  the  walia  of 
the  eluunbers  having  been  painted  inter- 
nally with  various  colours.  The  remaim 
of  pottery  were  curio  us,  as  presentiof 
examples  of  a  very  great  variety  of  wares* 
from  the  most  elaborate  to  those  of  rudest 
fabrication.  Bsrt  of  a  totssellated  pave- 
ment bad  been  also  disinterred. 

A  letter  was  read,  from  the  Hon. 
Richard  Neville^  communicating  the  latest 
paKiculars  connected  with  the  ezamina* 
tion  of  a  Roman  villa  of  considerable  ex- 
tent, at  Wenden,  near  Audley  Km!,  which 
he  had  recently  undertaken.  Numerous 
coins,  tibuloB,  ^c,  had  been  collected 
amongst  the  foundations  already  laid  0|^>en 
to  view.  Mr.  Neville  gave  also  a  report 
of  his  recent  excavations  near  the  Burtlow 
Hills. 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Jenkins  seat,  through 
Mr.  Birch*  the  description  of  certain  an- 
cient embankments  in  St  Margaret's 
Park,  south  of  Hereford,  as  described  in 
our  Magazine  for  October,  p.  387.

YOKKSHIHR  ANTIQUARIAN    CLUB, 

Nov.  23.  At  a  meeting  of  the  Yorkshire 
Antiquarian  Club,  held  on  Wednesday  last, 
at  the  house  of  Professor  Phillips,  Mr.  W. 
H.  Dykes  read  a  paper  on  some  mural 
pointings  found  in  Pickering  Church. 
These  paintings  were  dboovered  during 
some  recent  repairs,  concealed  beneath 
many  coats  of  pla,ster  and  whitewash. 
They  covered  the  whole  walls  of  the  nave, 
from  the  pillars  to  the  roof.  Beginning 
on  the  south  side  from  the  east  end^  they 
represented,  first,  a  series  of  events  &om 
the  history  of  St.  Katharine,  t^mprlsing 
the  full  legend  of  that  saint ;  ana  theni 
after  an  interval,  various  scenes  from  the 
life  of  our  Lord,^ — the  healing  of  the  ear 
of  the  high  priest's  servant,  the  trial 
before  PiUte,  the  scourging,  the  bearing 
of  the  cross,  the  crucifi.\ion,  the  descent 
from  the  cross,  the  entombment,  the 
descent  into  hell,  the  tradition  of  the  keys 
to  St.  Peter;  and  two  or  three  other  sub- 
jects, the  intention  of  which  was  not  per- 
fectly intelligible.  The  paintings  upon  this 
side  were  arranged  into  three  rows,  divided 
from  one  another  by  ornamental  borders  ; 
the  first  scries  occupying  the  spandrels  of 
the  arches  ;  the  next  filling  the  space  be- 
tween the  crown  of  the  arches  and  the 
clerestory  J  and  the  third  placed  between 
the  windows  of  the  clerestory ;  whilst 
the  splays  of  these  windows  themselvci 
exhibited  single  figures,  with  their  names 
written  above.  On  one  of  them,  St. 
Matthias  was  visible;  and  on  another  St. 
Anne,  in&tructiog  the  blessed  Virgin.  On 
the  north  side  of  the  church,  a  similar 
arrangement  was  not  to  be  found.  Be- 
ginning at  the  west  end  was,  first,  a  very 
fine  representation  of  St.  George  and  the 
Dragon,  occupying  the  whole  height  of 
the  wall,  from  the  spandret  of  the  arch 
to  the  roof;  next  came  a  colossal  figure  of 
St.  Christopher ;  then,  on  n  !< mailer  scale, 
followed  Herod's  banquet,  and  the  pre- 
sentation of  St.  John  Baptist's  head  to 
Herodias ;  and  above,  the  coronation  of 
the  blessed  Virgin ;  beyond  these  were  the 
martyrdom  of  St,  Edmund,  and  above  it 
the  murder  of  St.  Thomas  of  Canterbury, 
These  paintings  appear  generally  to  have 
been  executed  in  a  very  artistic  manner, 
and  seem  to  have  been  both  greater  in  ex- 
tent, and  in  a  more  perfect  state,  than  any 
which  have  recently  been  brought  to  light. 
They  had  been,  however,  much  injured 
during  the  removal  of  the  coating  which 
concealed  them,  and  mutilated  in  varioufl 
places  by  monumenttil  slabs  having  been 
placed  upon  them.  They  had  been  drawn

ROMAN  A.NTIQUIT1BS  OF  COJ^CfiKSTKll. 

Mr.  C»  Roach  Smith,  having  recently 
visited  Colcheter,  hat  addressed  a  letter 
to  the  Essex  Standard,  from  which  we 
make  the  foliowiog  extracts  : — 

**  When  1  wai  laat  at  Cololieater  I  saw  a 
large  imortbed  stone  [found  on  the  site  of 
the  Roman  oemetery  at  We&t  Lodge]  which 
had  obviously  formed  part  of  the  fnoc  of  a 
aepulchrd  mouumcnt  of  considerable  di- 
mensions, SQch  as  we  have  found  frag- 
menta  of  contignoas  to  the  site  of  the 
wall  of  Romnn  London,  and  ituch  as  have 
been  discovered  more  plentifully  in  France 
and  in  other  parts  of  the  Coutuient,  To 
one  of  these  superior  tombs  it  is  probable 
the  Sphmz  now  m  the  Hospital  [engraved 
in  the  Gentlemairi>  Mafazine  for  Feb. 
1829,  p.  lOTJ  appertained.  This  is  th« 
opinion  of  one  of  your  moit  fealoiis  anti- 
qnariei,  the  Rev.  IL  Jenkins,  and  1  quite 
agree  with  him.  So  late  aji  last  July  I  &aw 
a  figure  of  a  iphinx  in  stooe  at  Lillcbonne, 
on  the  Selne^  which  had  been  found  with 
maoy  other  sculptures,  chiefly  of  a  sepul- 
chral kind;  it  is,,  however,  inferior  in 
workmanship  to  that  at  Colchester,  The 
atona  at  Weat  L^dgc  induced  a  hope  that 
others  would  be  found  to  completOi  at 
least,  the  inscription.  This  anticipation 
has  not  yet  been  realised.  The  recent  dis* 
ooveriea  are  mostly  very  »imtlnr  to  those 
made  in  former  years.  There  if,  however, 
ftn  interesting  exception,  on  which  F  offer 
a  few  remarks.  It  is  that  of  an  urn  omQ" 
Rented  with  figures,  over  some  of  which 
— riptions. 
«  urn  is  about  <l  inches  in  height, 
nl  6  inohei  in  diameter  at  the 


mouth.  It  is  fUted  with  burnt  haman 
bones,  which  were  carefully  covered  with 
an  inverted  vcaael  of  the  class  known  to 
nrchicologisti  by  the  term  mortarim*  Seva^ 
ral  other  ve«aeU  stood  arottiid  the  urn.  On 
one  side  of  it  are  reprcaentations  of  stags, 
a  hare,  and  a  dog  in  chase.  The  other 
contains  two  different  groups,  one  of  which 
is  eom{>oaed  of  two  men  and  a  bear  ;  thi 
second  of  two  gladiatori.  The  firat  Ikf 
the:ie  is  evidently  intended  to  represent  t 
sjiuft  very  clo&ely  allied  to  the  modem 
pantime  of  danctag  bears.  The  chief  actor 
in  the  scene  betirs  a  concave  buckler  oa 
hi«  left  arm,  and  holds  in  his  rig^bt  baad  a 
whip  with  a  long  thong,  which  fiills  oror 
the  bead  of  the  animal,  the  distended  jawa 
of  whirh  aid  up- turned  headaeem  to  show 
it  14  not  altogeitjcr  rccondtod  to  ite  attOA* 
tion>  The  other  of  the  keefwct*  who  ia 
almost  naked,  approach)^  it  with  a  ftkk 
in  each  Imiul  to  render  asaistanoe  to  hia 
companion.  Over  the  head  of  the  man 
with    the    ahicrld    ami   whip   id    inscribed 

MKCVKflV:i  MAAIO. 

"The  second  compartment  is  occupied  by 
a  scene  between  two  gladiators — a  feculor 
and  a  rWiartua,  The  latter  has  been  van- 
quished ;  he  has  dropped  his  trident,  and  is 
in  the  attitude  of  itnptoring  mercy  of  ih« 
spectators.  The  former,  armed  with  an 
helmet,  obtoiig  shield,  and  a  sword,  is  ad. 
vuneing  upon  hii  conquered  adversary  to 
Atrike  the  Jinal  blow.  The  costume  of  the 
combatants  is  in  correct  keeping  with  the 
well-known  equipmenta  of  the  classes  of 
gladiators  to  which  they  belong  {  and  Iho 
detaibr  worked  with  aa  much  oare  as  the 
material  would  admit,  are  evidently  not 
wanting  in  fidelity.  On  the  line  of  the  head 
of  the  secuior  is  inscribed  ueMN.iv.aAC* 
villi. ;  the  first  word  of  which  may  be 
Mtmnius  or  Memnon,  Should  the  letter 
A  ho  an  error  for  k  (which  is  not  un- 
likely), there  can  be  no  difficulty  in  inter- 
preting the  N,8AC.  to  signify  that  this 
gladiator  belonged  tothenvmerMi'  or  band 
9ecHtoreii;  and  the  numerals  may  be  aup- 
poaed  to  indicate  that  he  had  previously 
triumphed  nine  times.  The  defeated  com*

"  The  inscriptions  are  cut  with  the  point 
of  a  style,  or  some  sharp  iustrument,  and 
are  therefore  posterior  in  date  to  the  manu-

Danube.  The  Porte  has  requested  that 
the  combined  fleets  should  enter  the  Block 
Sea.  The  fleets  however,  at  the  time  of 
the  last  advices,  remained  in  the  Bospbo* 
rns,  with  the  eiception  of  two  vessels,  one 
French  and  one  English,  ^A'hich  were 
despatched  to  Sinope  with  ossistanee  for 
the  wounded  and  to  obtain  intelligence 
respectiDg  the  engagement. 

The  Turks  advanced  early  in  November 
to  Aleiandropol  in  Georgia.  Their  attack 
upon  that  fortress  was  repuUed  bf  Prince 
Beboutoff  ahoat  the  Hth  of  that  month. 
They  next  took  the  town  of  Akal-Tj?iche 
and  blockaded  it  si  citadel.  At  this  ploce 
they  were  attacked  on  the  26th  of  Novem- 
ber by  a  Russian  force,  under  Gen. 
Andronoikoff,  and  according  to  Russian 
accouuts  are  said  to  have  been  totally  de- 
feated with  the  loss  of  1000  men.  On  the 
1 7th  of  Nov*  the  Russians  were  repulsed 
in  an  attempt  to  bnd  18,000  men  near 
Fort  St  Nicholas  (or  ChevketH).  The 
Mussutman  population  of  Georgia  has 
joined  the  Turks  in  considerable  nombers. 
On  the  2nd  of  Dec.  Prince  Beboutoff 
guined  another  victory  over  the  Turks 
near  Kars  in  tieorgia,  and  took  22 
guns.  In  the  Caucasus,  Si-hlumyl  has

DOMESTIC   OCCURRENCES. 


IIm  15th  Dtfc,  the  nation  was  «ur-

y  Fymerston  had  thought  proper  to

inirtmtiral  interment. — The  following 
are  the  results  of  the  movetneat  for  ter- 
minating the  practice  of  burying  in 
London: — 1.  Nearly  erej^y  vault  under 
churches  lod  chapels  has  been  or  is 
under  order  for  dosing.  2.  Burials  have 
beeo  prohibited  within  every  church  and 
dja|iel  where  they  are  known  to  have 
taken  place,  X  181  burial-grounds  have 
beea  doted,  or  are  under  order  for  elosing 
iaitsediately.  4.  61  burial-ground^i  are 
under  notice  or  order  for  cloiiog  within  a 
limited  period,  almost  all  within  a  few 
nontha*  5,  16  burial-ground»  are  partially 
clocedt  ill  the  interments^  except  those  in 
private  vaults  and  graves,  being  prohibited, 
i».  13  burial-grounds  are  dosed  under 
Ci)nditions  for  the  protection  of  the  public 
health.  Lastly.  Nearly  all  the  remaining 
grounds  within  the  metropolitan  districts 
are  now  under  inquiry*  The  rt-gulationa  to 
he    '  '  U\  the  new  burial -gruund^-  to 

b  J  under  the  Metroputilau  Act 

Wi.-  ._.  ,.  by  the  Home  Secretary  on  the 
Uth.  Only  one  body  is  to  be  buried  in  a 
graTc  (except  purchased  vaulta  and  graves), 
but  after  a  period  of  from  10  to  24  years, 
a£«ardlug  to  the  age  of  the  person,  another 
iofrrment  wilt  be  permitted*  The  ceme- 
terifw  are  to  surrounded  by  plantations  of 
iliniba  10  yardii  in  width,  in  which  no  in- 
imnneiita  will  be  allowed.  IVo vision  is 
alio  made  for  proper  drainage,  roadS|

The  strikes  in  the  mannfacturing  towns 
of  Lancashire  still  continue.    On  Monday, 

Uent*  Mao,  Vol,  XLI, 


Dec.  19|  the  factory  owner*  at  Wigan 
threw  open  their  mills  fur  «nch  of  the 
operatives  as  would  return  at  old  prices, 
and  1,000,  or  about  a  sixth  of  the  whole, 
availed  themselves  of  the  opportunity. 
Many  more  would  probably  have  returned 
to  work,  but  trades'  delegates,  attended 
by  a  large  crowd,  were  in  the  streets  at  an 
early  hour  in  the  morning,  to  intercept, 
pcrsnade,  and  intimidate  all  they  could 
out  of  going  to  work.  The  sy^stem  of  in- 
timidation docs  not  apply  to  those  alojie 
who  go  to  work  at  old  prices,  but  in  other 
towns  it  applies  to  persons  refUEing  or 
neglecting  to  subscribe  funds  to  the  Preston 
and  other  strikes.  At  Stockport,  on  Mon* 
day,  and  at  Ashton  on  the  same  day,  men 
were  brought  before  the  magistrates  fur 
acts  of  iatimidation,  and  it  is  to  be  feared 
that  a  wide-spread  aystem  of  tyranny  pre- 
vails throughout  the  whole  manufacturing 
districts  to  extort  money  frora  the  opera* 
tives  in  work  at  the  mills  to  support  tho«e 
out  of  employment  through  tho  strikes. 
The  state  of  things  at  Preston  remains  un- 
cbaogedt  Lord  Falmerston  has  replied  to 
a  request  of  government  interference  on 
behalf  of  the  worki^joplc  on  strike  by  a 
very  able  letter  which  appeared  in  the 
Times  of  Dec.  27,  in  which  lie  points  out 
the  impassibility  of  controlling  the  natural 
laws  which  regulate  the  remuneration  of 
labour,  and  tlie  injurious  consequences  that 
are  likely  to  result  to  all  classes  connected 
with  the  manufacluriug  interests  of  this 
country  from  the  present  disputes. 

A  conference  on  the  subject  of  the  re- 
formation of  jinvenile  criminals  was  held 
at  Dirroingbam  on  the  2atb.  Sir  J.  Pak- 
ington  was  in  the  chair.  Addresses  were 
delivered  by  the  Earl  of  Shaftesbury  and 
Mr.  Adderl'cy,  M.P.,  and  rcsolulioos  passed 
in  favour  of  the  legislative  establishment' 
of  reformatory  schools.  In  the  evening 
another  meeting  took  place  at  the  Town 
HalU  at  which  Lord  Shttftcisbnry  presided 
and  spoke  at  great  length.  Sir  J.  Paking- 
ton,  Mr.  Adderley,  and  tb«  Rev.  J.  Cloy 
olso  addressed  the  meeting,  which  con- 
sisted of  above  3000  persous.  Petitions 
were  adopted  to  both  houses  of  ParliA- 
ment*

ceived the  regency^  the  young  Queen  left 
Braxkl  in  IS^S,  iosoU  for  Europe.  Mignel 
had,  meanwhile  (Juoe  30,  \'62S),  declared 
himself  absolute  King  of  Portugal,  and 
forb«de  the  Queen  to  land.  She  was  now 
coanpcllpr!  to  come  to  England,  where  she

In  1829  she  returned  to 
—  .,;j»  with  Amelia  of  Lenchtcn- 
her  fnb&equent  stepmother,  and 
lited  there  until  1831,  when  her  father 
foand  ymself  compelfed  to  refign  the 
crown  of  Brazil  to  his  son,  Fedro  II.  She 
then  resided  in  Paris,  while  her  father 
waged  war  for  her  rights  in  Portugal. 
After  the  taltlng  of  Liibon,  ia  September^ 
18^5,  the  made  her  entry  into  that  city. 
On  the  29th  of  May,  1834,  Miguel  re- 
uoufu;ed  Itis  claims,  and  retired  to  Italy, 
where  be  recalled  his  rennociatioD,  and 
was  acknowledged  by  the  Pope  King  of 
Portugal.  Pedro  now  adminbtered  the 
govrrnmout  as  regent  and  guardian  of  his 
daoghter.  His  power,  howcTer,  was  soon 
whauited ;  and  when,  on  the  I8th  of  Sep-

Lenchteobergt  who  already  had  won  her 
affections.  On  the  8th  of  Nov.  I83i  she 
was  married  by  proxy,  at  Munich,  to  this 

firince;  and  on  January  27  of  the  foU 
owing  year  in  person.  Dom  Augustus, 
Prince  of  Portagal,  as  he  was  named,  was 
made  commander  of  the  army,  and  was 
likely  to  become  popular,  when  he  died 
fiuddenly,  March  28,  1835.  On  the  9fh  of 
April,  183G,  she  waa  marriod  a  second  time 
to  Ferdinand,  son  of  Ferdinand  Duke  of 
Saxe  -  Cobourg  -  Cohary,  who,  upon  the 
birth  of  a  Crown  Prince,  was  named  King. 
In  the  course  of  the  next  ten  years  the  cor- 
ruptions of  the  government,  which  had  fallen 
into  the  hands  of  the  Cabruls,  the  suppres- 
sion of  the  liberty  of  the  press,  and  the  in- 
crease of  iaxmr  irritated  a  large  portion  of 
the  nation.  lo  May,  1846,  civil  war  broke 
out  in  the  Upper  MinhOf  and  in  a  few 
weeks  several  districts  were  in  arms  against 
the  Cabral  ministry.  The  Cahrals  re* 
signed,  and  retired  from  the  kingdom. 
The  Chauiber  of  Deputies  was  dissolved, 
the  Grand  Cortes  extraordinarily  convoked, 
and  a  number  of  concessions  were  made. 
The  Du^e  de  Pulmella  was  called  to  power, 
and  held  office  with  Saldauha  for  four 
months,  when  his  cabinet  was  succeeded 
by  a  new  miniitry  under  Saldanha^s  pre- 
miership. Civil  war,  meanwhile,  con- 
tinued. Dai  Antas,  the  commander  no- 
minated hy  the  Juntas,  and  supported  by 
Bandiera,  Louli,  and  Fouraoi,  gained  ee- 
veral  sacceases ;  and  it  was  feared  that 
the  Queen  and  King  would  have  to  leave 
Portugal  and  seek  safety  in  England.  In 
November,  however,  the  popular  party 
were  in  turn  defeated,  and  lost  two  whole 
regiments  bv  desertion.  In  the  ensuing 
year  the  medialion  of  the  British  govern- 
ment waa  offered,  and  accepted  by  the 
Queen,  hut  declined  by  the  Junta.  Das 
Antas  now  prcpored  to  evacuate  Oporto, 
The  British  fleet,  under  Sir  Thomas  Mait- 
laod,  was  off  that  city.  Steamers  belong- 
ing to  the  Junta  were  permitted  to  enter 
and  embark  Das  Antas'  troops.  On  the 
31«r  of  May,  1847,  a  corvette  and  three 
armed  Btenmers,  one  barque,  one  brig,  two 
schooners,  transports,  containing  in  aU 
about  3000  troops,  left  the  port.  On 
crossing  the  bar  they  were  summoned  to 
surrender  to  the  British ;  and  as  resist- 
ance v?utild  have  been  useless t  they  did  so, 
without  firing  a  .^liot.  As  aoon  as  he  was 
on  board  the  British  ship,  the  Conde  das 
Antas  presented  to  the  commander  a  pro- 
test in  the  name  of  the  Fortugnese  nation 
against  this  act  of  hostility^  without  de-

Dona  Maria  yjclded  with  a  very  bad  grace

huiband  had  been  appointed  commander- 
in-chief  at  the  commencemri^t  of  the  out-

the  Ministers,  and  the  great  ofBoeni  of  the  ■ 
royal  houaebold,  were  summoned  to  the  * 
palace.  The  very  first  symptoma  w«r«  ao 
awfuUy  alarming,  that  the  medical  sen  in

sufferer — with  all  the  usual  pr«caatiofU  of

immediate  danger — that  all  would  toon  be 
well  got  over— to  fortify  herself  with  tkic 
iaeooam  of  religion.  On  receiving  thia 
announcement  she  drooped  at  once,  and 
only  said,  "  I  sec  how  it  is  ;  my  laat  hour 
if  at  hand/'  The  Sacraments  having  been 
administered  to  her  hastily,  the  medical 
men  began  their  work.  There  waa  a  mal* 
preaentation  of  the  infant  ot  the  very  com-

endeavours  to  rectify  it,  forcible  and  piece-

viously  effected  in  ntfro  malrit.  At  about 
ten  o'clock  on  the  following  morning  the 
extraction  was  completed,  leaving  the  un- 
fortunate lady  in  a  state  of  exhaustion ^

The  Mari}iictt  of  Woroester  was  not  a

the  Marquess  of  Salisbury. 

There  was  not,  perhaps,  amongst  the 
artatocracy  of  England  one  whose  man- 
nitn  aad  bearing  were  more  truly  noble

higbly.born  and  i  11  nstriousiy  •  descended 
Biemben  of  the  British  peerage.  He  was

ksowo^  It  was  impossible  to  have  the 
iltghleat  communication  with  his  Grace 
witbcmt  being  struck  witli  his  inherent 
couttlineair  wbich  was  enhanced  by  a  fine 
port,  a  commanding  ftgure,  and  a  coun- 
tcoaoec  whose  features  were  coat  in  a  truly 
noble  muold.  He  was  a  consistent  sup- 
porter of  Conservative  politics.  As  a

hoji  peqictuaied  his  character  iu  terms  no 
more  eulogistic  than  it  deserved.  In  thu 
palmy  days  of  Melton,  when  "The  Old 
Club''  flourished  I  a  discussion  arose  as  to 
who  was  the  moat  popular  sportsman  in 
England^  and  tt  was  at  once  unanimously 
conceded  that  the  Marqueaa  of  Worcester 
was  the  man  who  held  that  enviable  po- 
sition. As  a  charioteer  none  could  excel 
him.  and  when  the  Pour-in-haud  Club 
was  started  some  twenty  years  back,  his 
Grace^s  team  of  skewbalLi  and  well-ap- 
pointed drag  was  always  considered  tbc 
crack  * 'torn-out.**  As  a  racing  mxm,  the 
calendar  shows  that  his  stud,  although 
never  very  extensive,  was  always  well 
selected.  To  the  professors  of  music  and 
the  drama  he  was  ever  a  warm  jMitron*  as

sons  of  the  lamented  Tyrone  Tower,  and 
the  strenuoua  exertions  be  usud  to  pre-

The  Duke  of  Beaufort  was  twice  mar- 
ried, and  his  wives  were  sisters  by  their 
mother,  Lady  Anne  Wcllealcy,  daughttT 
of  Garrett  6rst  Earl  of  Momiogton,  and 
sister  to  the  late  Marquess  Wellealey  anil 
the  Duke  of  Wellington.  Hia  first  wife, 
Georgiana-Frederica,  who  died  when  Mar-

second  wife,  to  whom  he  vnm  married  on 
the  29th  June,  1822,  and  who  sun'ivea

Lord  Clon curry. 

Oct,  '28.  At  his  residence,  Maretimo, 
Blackrock,  near  Dubli d  ,  aged  BO,  the  Right 
Hon.  Valentine  Urowne  Lawless,  second 
Baron  Cloocurryt  of  Cloncurry,  co.  Kil- 
dare  (1789),  and  a  Baron  of  the  United 
Kingdom  hf  the  same  title  (1831),  a  Baro- 
mat  (1776),  and  a  Privy  CotmciUor  of 
Irehind. 

This  venarable  nobleman  (who  through- 
out his  life  waa  a  man  of  some  influence 
in  respect  of  his  political  opinions, )  was 
born  in  Merriou -square,  Dublin,  on  the 
1 9th  Aug.  1773,  the  second  but  only  sur- 
viving son  of  Nicholas  Lawless,  etq.  who 
three  years  after,  In  1776,  waa  created  a 
Baronet,  and  in  17^9  waa  raised  to  the 
peerage  in  Ireland.  He  was  originally  a 
Roman  CatholiCf  and  in  early  life  had 
settled  in  Prance,  io  pursuit  of  those 
immunities  wliich  were  not  awarded  to 
hin  own  community  at  home.  The  result, 
however,  was  different  Co  his  expectations  t 
he  was  leas  satisfied  with  Prance  than  with 
Ireland ;  he  returned  in  consetjuenoe  to 
his  native  country,  purchased  large  estates 
in  the  counties  of  Limerick,  Kildare,  and 
Dublin,  and  conformed  to  ProteatantUm. 
Lord  Cioncurry's  mother  was  Margargti 
only  daughter  of  Valentine  Browne,  esq. 
of  Dublin. 

Being  then  a  younger  aon,  he  waa  at 
eight  yearH  of  iige  iMsnt  to  a  public  school 
at  Portnrlingtuo,  wlii^re  he  waa  trt^ated 
roughly  enough,  and,  baring  been  pushed 
by  another  boy  from  a  p outhouse,  diiilo- 
cated  his  arm,  an  aceiduul  which,  Minting 
upon  a  constitution  originally  delioale, 
produced  a  weak  state  of  bcoith  for  many 
yeara*  At  twelve  he  was  removed  to  a 
teboql  at  Blaekfook,  near  Ma  fktber'a  villa

hit  father  entertained  thp  then  Lord  Lieu- 
tcMMAC,  the  Eart  of  Westmoreland,  at 
Momin^ton  Home  (which  he  hud  just 
poroheeed  from  the  late  Marquess  Welles- 
lef ),  and  the  late  Duke  of  WelliDgtom  was 
of  Ibe  party  at  Aide-de-camp  to  hie  Excel- 
IsDoy.  The  honse^  for  which  hia  father 
paid  ^noai  in  U£)It  was  aold  the  year 
■Her  the  Union  for  2500/. 

Lord  Cloocorry,  when  at  college,  took 
an  active  part  in  the  itistoricat  Society , 
"a  narsery  of  ^enina  and  patriotitm/' 
which  wa»  at  length  anppreaaed  by  the 
Wsotry  of  bis  tutor*  Dr.  Elhngton,  after- 
wards Bishop  of  Fema.  lo  1793  he  went 
to  Switzerland,  where  he  remained  for  two 
years,  which  were  divided  between  Neof* 
chatel,  Oeneva,  and  Laufianae.  Returning 
to   Ireland  in   1795  he  took  up   hotuc- 

;  in  Merrioa*rowr  Dublin^  in  con- 
with  his  maternal  grandfather. 
At  thai  period  his  fiither  was  a  peer  of 
pctrtotie  politics,  bnt  maintained  a  friendly 
aod  Mipectfnl  intercourse  with  the  vice- 
re^  court.  With  his  ftanction^  Mr.  Law* 
leie  waa  the  chief  promoter  of  the  Rath- 
down  Aasociation^  a  voluntary  organisation 
of  tKlhldBMii  and  gentlemeo,  e5tabliahed 
far  the  purpose  of  maintaioing  the  public 
Mace,  and  protecting  property  in  the  popn- 
Ibas  district  lying  between  Dublin  and 
Bray. — a  purpose  then  hut  little  serred 
bf  the  imperfect  police  of  those  days.  He 
was  also  at  the  same  tiuk  an  officer  in  a 
corps  of  yeomanry  cavalry,  commanded 
by  Colonel  Corry,  brother  to  the  Chan- 
eeUor  of  the  Irish  Exchequer,  and  acted 
with  him  at  the  time  of  the  threatened 
F^aaoh  tntaaion^  on  which  occasion  bis 
hther  idtanoed  the  sum  of  4 5, 000 f.  to 
fovamment,  by  which  timely  aid  it  was 
aaabled  to  break  up  the  c^mp  at  Longh^ 
Unatown,  and  to  march  to  meet  the  inva- 
ders at  Ban  try  Bay, 

Mf«  liiwiesa  went  a  further  length  in 
,  by  becoming  a  member  of  the 
of  United  Irishinent  which  had 
i  1791,  in  **  the  idea  of 
aaitla^  both  sects  (Catholics  and  Protes- 
tants) in  purrait  of  the  same  objects,  a 

of  the  (lenal  kws,  and 


including  In  Itself  an  extension  of  the  right 
of  suffrage  to  Catholic*.*'  He  wn»  not, 
however*  n  constant  resident  in  Dublin  \ 
for,  shortly  after  his  return  from  Switzer- 
land, he  entfrcd  as  a  student  of  Uu?  Middle 
Temple,  h  step  which  rendered  it  neces- 
sary for  him  to  pay  frequent  visits  to 
London.  During  one  of  them,  dining  at 
the  house  of  Mr  John  Macnamara,  in 
Baker-street,  he  met  Mr.  Pitt,  and  on  that 
occasion  heard,  for  the  first  time,  of  the 
contemplateil  jiroject  of  a  Union  between 
Great  Britain  and  Ireland*-  The  new* 
acted  as  a  ferment  upon  his  notions  of 
patriotiam  and  nationality,  and  indnced 
him  to  publish  (in  1707)  a  pamphlet  under 
the  title  of  **  Thoughts  on  the  Projpcted 
Union,*'  which  is  reprinted  at  tlie  close  of 
bis  "  Recollections/*  18-111.  To  this  essay, 
which  was  honoureti  by  a  g pedal  reply  from 
Mr.  Edward  Cooke,  the  Under-Secretary 
for  Ireland,  Lord  Cloncurry  attribnted  the 
motives  of  his  subsequent  prosecution §.  At 
the  same  period  he  made  the  acquamtance 
of  HoroeTooke,  Sir  Prancis  Burdett,  and 
the  unfortunate  Colonel  Desp/ird  ;  bnt 
formed  a  more  intimate  friendship  with  the 
Tory  partisan!  John  Reeves.  When  in 
Dublin  his  dme  was  spent  in  the  society  of 
the  leaders  of  the  popular  movement— of 
his  beloved  friend  Lord  Edward  Fitz- 
gerald, of  Arthur  O*  Connor,  the  elder 
Emmett,  Sampson,  Curran,  Grattan,  and 
George  Ponsonby«  He  joined  in  the  sup^ 
port  of  The  Press  newspaper,  then  the 
organ  of  reform  and  popular  rights  ;  and 
in  the  autumn  of  1797  he  was  elected, 
though  without  his  desire  or  even  know- 
ledge, a  member  of  the  Executive  Direc- 
tory of  the  United  Irish  Society,  upon 
which  occaKion,  for  the  ftrst  but  only  time^ 
he  Bttended  n  meeting  of  that  body.  Soon 
after  he  aided  in  prcpnring  the  Kildarc 
petition  against  the  Union  and  in  favoar 
of  Reform  and  Catholic  Emancipation, 
which  was  signed  by  his  ^ther,  as  well  oa 
by  the  Doke  of  Leinsteri  and  several  hun- 
dreds of  the  leading  men  of  tbeeauotry. 
It  was  followed  up  by  a  meeting  held  at 
the  Royal  Exchange,  at  which  he  presided: 
and  be  was  one  of  d  deputation,  with  Lord 
Edward  Fitxgerald  and  Arthur  O'Connor* 
appointed  to  carry  an  address  to  Messrs^ 
Grattan,  Curran,  and  George  Ponaonby, 
requesting  them  to  discontinue  the  "mock- 
ery*' of  attending  parliament,— a  request 
which  was  very  unwisely  complied  with. 
At  the  dissolution^  whidi  soon  after  fol- 
lowed, he  wrote  the  addresses  of  Lord 
Edward  Fitxgeruld  and  Mr.  Henry  of 
Straifan,  declining  (in  the  same  spirit)  to 
offer  themselves  as  candidates  for  the  re- 
presentation of  iOldare.  Such  were  tiie 
overt  acts  by  which  Mr.  Law  less  became 
an  object  of  suspicion^  and  several  intimn-

In  Nov.  17;>7  Mr.  Lawless  returned  to 
London,  in  order  to  kerp  his  term  at  ilie 
Trmple.  At  that  time  there  were  many 
of  bis  poorer  countrymen  *'refugeee*'  in 
this  countryt  iu  con»eqaenc?  of  having 
oflended  the  laws  iti  their  own  ;  and  in 
common  witli  all  other  of  his  compatriotB 
who  had  a  few  pounds  io  tliek  pocketa,  he 
wfuc  auhject  to  continual  folicit&tions  for 
their  relief.  In  the  course  of  tliii  work  of 
oluiHty  a  club  waa  formed,  the  membcri 
of  which  were  cbic^j  yoong  Templars,  and 
mUeh  they  called  the  United  Iriib.  This 
name  waa  tiafortanate,  as,  though  the  club 
had  no  connection  with  the  United  Irish 
Society  of  irtfand^  "  and  had  the  character 
ratlier  of  a  debating  and  convivial  than  of 
a  political  body/^  yet  it  appears  to  have 
been  represeuted  to  govenimeait  as  being 
of  an  illegal  and  mifcbieroai  complexion. 
Among  their  other  tran^grMtioili  they 
ventured  to  relieve  Peter  Flnerty,  the 
cx-printer  of  the  Dublin  Press.  But 
Mr.  Lawless  did  more  than  this:  having 
been  accidentally  made  acquainted  with 
O'Coigly,  or  Quigley,  who  was  shortly 
alter  arreated  with  Mr.  Arthur  O'Connor 
on  his  panage  to  PranoCt  and  eventually 
hanged  at  Pencndcn  Heath  on  the  Tth  of 
May.  179R,  he  headed  the  subscription  for 
his  defence,  and  became  answerable  for  its 
cost*  On  this  subject  he  wrote  to  Mr. 
Broughall,  his  father's  agent  in  Dublin, 
snd  thai  nntleman  being  a  suapceteil 
IMffwiii  ana  ihortly  after  arreated  ind  hia 
Mpaiv  aeiiedf  Mr.  Lawlesa's  latter  about 
b'Coigly  waa  found  among  them.  The 
immediate  result  was  his  arrest,  at  his 
lodgings  in  St  Alban's  street^  and  at  the 
same  time  and  place  were  also  captured  the 
Duke  of  Leinster,  John  Philpot  Currao, 
and  Henry  Grattaii,  who  happened  at  the 
time  to  be  visiting  him.  They  were  all, 
ltQ«ev«r>  immediately  liberated;  but  at 
thenme  time  the  Government  also  caused 
to  be  arrested  Mr.  Stewart  of  Acton, 
a  gentleman  of  lar^e  fortune  in  the  north 
of  Ireland,  Mr,  Agar,  a  relative  of  the 
Archbishop  of  Dublin,  Richard  Curran. 
eldeai  sou  of  the  future  Master  of  the 
RoUa,  and  Mr.  Trenor,  who  was  the 
Morvlary  of  Mr.  Lawless,  and  bad  been 
iSwsMrly  his  tutor  at  Dr.  Burrowed '« 
IvhooJ.  All  these  peraoos  (wrote  Mr. 
Wlokham,  an  under-aecre«ary  of  sute,  Io 
Lord  Castlereagh,)  were  supposed  to  be 
**mm^  or  Icsi  deeply  implicated  in  the 
tffiMmiabie  conspiracy  in  Irclaiiil;  that

and  had  aiven  aid  ana  ciNUilauniet  to  the 
i^ata  who  have  at 


scat  over  from  one  country  to  tiic  other." 
(Despatch  dated  %  June,  Mm,  in  the 
Castlereagh  Memoirs,  i.  21C.)  Lord  Clon- 
curry,  in  his  **  Recollectiona,"  denies  that 
any  of  the  party  were  engaged  in  corre- 
i|K)ndcnce  with  the  French  Directory  or  its 
mini&tcrE,  ami  tliat  the  only  aid  and  coan- 
tcnaocc  they  gave  to  any  suspected  persoxks 
were  limited  to  the  charitable  assistance  to 
their  poor  fellow-countrymen  already  de- 
scribed. 

His  restraint  on  this  occasion  laated  Ibr 
about  six  weeks,  during  which  he  was  con- 
fined at  the  house  of  a  king's  messenger 
in  Pimlico.  He  waa  taken  before  the 
Privy  Council  several  timea, and  questioned 
by  Lord  Loughborough,  Mr,  Pitt»  and  the 
Duke  of  Portland.  At  length  he  was  re* 
leaded,  the  ministers  declaring  that  thej  had 
a  great  regard  for  his  father,  and  hoped  here- 
after to  have  the  same  esteem  for  him.  Uia 
father  was  already  alarmed  at  the  progress 
of  political  eventi,  and  in  a  letter  to  L^rd 
Loughborough  regretted  that  his  son  bad 
been  influenced  by  persons  entertaining 
opinions  not  only  doubtful  but  dangerous, 
**  and  extremely  opposite  to  the  principles 
which  1  wish  him  to  entertain/'  In  truth* 
liis  father  was  highly  displeased  with  him, 
and  on  his  liberation  Mr.  Lawless  did  not 
return  to  Ireland,  but  made  a  tour  on 
horteback  in  the  north  of  England,  re- 
maining partly  at  Harrowgate  and  Scar- 
borough, at  which  latter  place  he  fortned 
a  matrimonial  CJigagemcnt  with  the  sister- 
ln«law  of  an  intimate  friend,  and  not,  np-

Lord  Cloficnrry  does  not  plead  guilty  to 
any  htsAi  political  provocation,  on  his  part, 
during  his  ensuing  residence  in  London.

United  Irish  Societies  io  LoDiIon.  Mr. 
Lawieaa  miiweretl  that  tt  was  not  so,  but 
that  lie  would  answer  no  questtous  wUikt 
Jit  mu^odj,  Oo  the  Bth  May  he  was  tjraas- 
IbTed  from  the  charge  of  a  King's  Mtm- 
letigcf  to  the  Tower  of  London^  in  which 
priaOQ  he  remained  until  the  expiration  of 
the  Habeaa  Corpus  Soapension  Act  re- 
■tored  blm  to  liberty  in  March^  1801.  Wc 
hsfe  not  apace  to  deicribe  the  vnrious 
efforts  made  by  his  friends  for  his  enbrge- 
roent,  which  arc  detailed  in  his  Memoirs. 
He  was  himictf  too  proud  to  make  any 
eoiie«aaton  or  admission.  In  the  mean 
time,  on  the  20lh  August,  1790,  by  the 
death  of  hia  father,  he  became  Lord  Ctoii- 
Only  nine  days  before  his  death, 
Cloncnrry  had  addressed  another 
]  to  the  Duke  of  Portland,  urging  hia 
i  loyalty  and  his  iupport  of  the  Duke*s 
mtton  in  Ireland,  as  well  as  his 
recent  vote  in  favour  of  the  Union,  as 
ekims  for  some  indulgence  on  behalf  of 
hif  mm.  Towards  the  clo»c  of  hia  life,  he 
altered  hk  will,  and  left  away  from  ht«  son 
a  turn  of  between  60,000/.  and  70,000/.  in 
fear  it  might  become  subject  to  coutiscation. 
The  following  Angust  (of  1800)  brought  to 
the  new  Lord  news  of  the  death  of  his 
aifimccd  bride:  whose  failing  state  of 
h^th  lud  be«n  represented  to  the  Duke 
of  Fortland,  but  without  any  c0ect  in  his 
IkTonr. 

After  a  confinement  of  twenty-two 
Booths  be  was  released  by  the  ejepira- 
tion  of  the  act  far  suspending  the  writ  of 
Habeas  Corpus,  without  the  slightest  »!• 
teration  of  circumstances,  in  reference  to 
the  charges  or  suspicions  against  him, 
having  taken  place  between  the  time  of 
hii  arreft  and  that  of  hi«  diju^hurge.  A 
few  days  after  he  had  a  note  from  Lord 
Caatlereagh,  stating  that  there  was  no  im- 
pediment to  his  return  to  Ireland.  He 
commenced  actions  for  false  imprisonment 
afsuut  the  Dnke  of  Portland  and  Mr, 
Pitt,  but  they  were  stopped  by  an  act  of 
indefflnity  passed  in  favour  of  those  minis- 
ten.  At  a  subsequent  period  (in  1817) 
the  late  Lord  Holland  gave  hia  written 
opinion  to  Lord  C  ton  carry  that  the  cir- 
cumstance of  his  case,  especially  in  the 
Utter  part  of  hia  imprisonment,  ''  ap- 
proached more  nearly  to  those  of  the 
ItttrtM  iU  csehttf  in  otd  France,  thin  any 
that  occnrred  under  Pitt's  suspension  of 
the  Haboaa  Corpus.*' 

After  a  short  visit  to  Irelaud,  Lord 
Cloncurry  determined  to  repair  hii  health 
nnd  spirila  by  foreign  travel.  Upon  the 
pence  of  AmiBua  he  tinmcdiatcly  went 
abroad,  accompanied  by  two  of  his  sisters. 
At  Parii  he  vrts  presested  to  the  First 


Consul,  who  entered  freely  into  con  versa- 
tion  with  him,  and  with  Li>rd  Holland, 
who  was  also  present.  He  passed  the 
winter  at  Nice,  rtnd  then  proceeded  to 
Italy.  Whilst  at  Home  he  married  the 
daughter  of  General  Morgan  ;  and  his 
youngest  nister  became  the  wife  of  Colonel 
Edward  Plunkett,  afterwards  fourteenth 
Lord  DuDSnny.  Lord  Cloncurry  resided 
in  Rome  for  more  than  two  years,  rent- 
ing, in  conjunction  with  this  brother-in- 
law,  the  Palazzo  Accaioli,  close  to  the 
Quirinal.  Whilst  at  Rome  he  formed,  by 
purchase  and  by  excavations,  a  VMlunble 
collection  of  antiquities,  which  is  now  at 
his  country  mansion  ut  Lyons,  in  the 
county  Kildare.  He  returned  home  through 
Germany  and  Denmark,  and  was  a|!^nin  in 
Ireland  at  the  close  of  1805.  At  this 
period  Lord  Redesdalt^  who  was  then 
Lord  Chancellor  of  Ireland,  refused  to 
place  Lord  Cloncurry ^s  name  on  the  com- 
mission of  the  peace  for  the  counties  of 
Kildnre  and  Dublin ;  but  the  W' hig  ad- 
ministration, which  ijlioitly  fulh>wcd,  cor- 
rected this  grievance.  He  now  passed  his 
time  entirely  in  the  ordinary  employments 
of  A  country  gentleman  and  inrigistnite, 
no  til  hib  tjuict  was  painfully  diiitnrbed  by 
occurrences  that  ended,  in  the  year  1811, 
in  a  diasotution  of  liis  '*  hasty  and  impro' 
dent**  marriage,  lu  the  same  year  he 
formed  a  '*  more  fortunate'*  aliianoe  with 
Emily,  widow  of  the  Hon.  Joseph  Leeson, 
and  mother  of  Joseph  Earl  of  Milltown, 
with  whom  he  lived  in  uninterrupted  hap- 
piness and  affection  for  thirty  years.  He 
deacribes  hia  life  at  this  period  to  have 
been  as  happy  as  it  was  busy.  He  made 
a  Hoe  place  of  Lyons,  at  the  cost  of  at  least 
200,000/.  employing  a  prosperous  tenantry, 
and  usually  entertaining  four  or  five  friends 
from  among  those  who  sympathised,  or 
bore  with,  his  unfashionable  national  poli- 
tics. In  181IJ  he  received  another  mortifi- 
cation from  the  Tory  government,  in  being 
refused,  on  account  of  his  politics,  a  re- 
quest that  his  '^tep- children  should  be 
raised  to  that  titulnr  rank  of  which  they 
had  been  accidentally  deprived  by  the  pre- 
mature death  of  their  father. 

Wc  hove  apace  very  briefly  to  allude  to 
Lord  Cloncurry's  subsequent  political  do- 
ings. Nolwithfilanding  he  had  taken  a 
promiuent  part  in  defeotinji;  a  loyal  ad- 
dresst  proposed  to  have  been  sent  from 
the  county  of  Dublin  to  George  the  Fourth, 
he  was  included  in  the  general  peace- 
making which  attended  upon  the  King*s 
visit  to  Ireland  in  1821,  when  he  was  gra- 
dously  invited  to  the  royal  table,  and  even 
asked  his  Miijesty  to  his  own  house,  an 
invitation  which  was  dL*clined  in  the  most 
gracious  termi,  on  the  ground  of  the  short.

Obituary.— /#or//  Clona^^ty, 


[Jftn. 


With  Lord  Wello8k*f»  as  Lord  Lieate- 
nunt,  Lord  Cloncwrry  was  on  terms  of  in- 
timacy, hut  still  more  so  with  the  Mnr- 
i^uow  of  Anglesey,  during  hie  two  vice- 
roynltifF;  with  this  rcprpflt'ntatifc  of  the 
sovereign  Lord  Clour*irry  '*  was  ao  far 
honoured  by  his  confideocCt  as  to  be  per- 
mitted to  form  a  sort  of  priTatc  cnhinet, 
lo  which  he  frequently  referred  for  connftrl 
and  nBsistance,  WTialcver  raay  he  thought 
of  this  asaertion  upon  its  conititational 
merits,  it  was  certainly  not  wi  empty 
boast  ;  many  letters  from  the  Marqtiefls, 
which  are  printed  in  Lord  Cloncurry^s 
Memoirs t  offer  materials  for  the  historinn 
on  the  motivcfi  and  policy  of  that  admi- 
niitration.  In  1828  Lord  Anf^lescy  was 
called  to  order  by  the  Duke  of  Wellington 
for  havingf  with  the  Lord  Chancellor  (Sir 
Anthony  Hart),  dined  with  i^ord  Clon- 
curry.  His  Excellency  wrote  in  reply 
that  he  believed  Lord  Cloocirrry  **  to  be 
ft  loyal  subject,  a  good  man,  and  an  exem- 
plary magistrate ;  and  I  cannot  consent  to 
abandon  the  exercise  of  my  own  discretion 
in  selecting  thoB«  with  whom  I  may  deem 
it  ezp«dient  and  prudent  to  hold  an  inter^ 
OOUfM."  In  1831f  shortly  aflcr  the  com- 
menoemcnt  of  Lord  Anglesey's  second 
▼ice-royaJty*  I^rd  Clonctirry  was  sworn  a 
Priry  Councillor  for  Ireland  ;  and  in  Sep- 
tember of  the  same  year,  a  few  days  before 
the  coronation,  he  was  raised^o  a  peerage 
of  Great  Britain. 

For  the  Ie«<j  important  incidents  of  his 
Gftreefi  such  as  his  entertainment  of  Mr. 
O'ConnoU.  his  quarrel  with  the  dema- 
gogue, who  denounced  him  as  essentially 
in  aristocrat,  and  their  flubseqaent  recon- 
ciliation, we  must  DOW  refer  to  the  Per- 
sonal RecoUectiotts  of  his  Life  and  Times, 
«  TOlume  published  in  1B49|  and  which 
tppears  to  have  been  suggested  by  the 
Castlereagh  CorretpoiMleiioe,  ft  series  of 
papers  which  had  then  reoentJy  laid  open 
the  secret  particulars  of  the  state  prosecu- 
tions which  ho  had  suffered  in  early  life. 
The  Ri>collcctions  were  criticiicd  in  the 
Quarterly  Review  by  Mr,  Wilson  Croker ; 
and  very  severely  in  Fraser's  Magazijie, 
The  more  cordial  criticiim  in  the  Dublin 
Untversity  Magazine  is  supposed  to  have 
been  written  by  the  learned  Mr.  Butt, 
QX.  t  and  the  review  in  our  own  MisoeU 
Lany  (for  July,  1849)  w»a  ftooompftniod  by 
some  interesting  commaoli  cominitniGfttied 
by  the  Late  Mr.  James  Boehe  of  Cork. 

In  bis  introductory  passages  Lord  Clon- 
curry  remarked  : — *'  I  have  lived  during 
many  yeart,  seen  many  men,  suffered  and 
prevailed,  been  persecuted  and  honoured  ; 
and  now,  having  laboured  in  my  geners- 
tiun  with,  at  least,  a  hearty  desire  to  rerve 
my  fellow^mau*  I  look  at  tlie  paat  without 
irtfD  e  iiassini;  feeliuj;  of  inikindness^  und 


at  the  present  with,  I  trust,  a  reverential 
gratitude  for  the  liirge  share  vouchaafeil 
to  me  by  a  beneficent  Providence,,  of  tho»r 
three  canlinat  blcasings  of  humanity, — 
health,  competence,  and  respect  of  men." 
It  is  remarked  in  the  Dublin  E^vmiug 
Post,  that  **  few  men  who  hnd  mixed  mi 
mudi  in  the  strife  of  politico  had  ctcited 
less  of  personal  hostility ,  because  be  vras 
gifted  with  a  kind  and  generous  disposi- 
tion ;  and  there  wa^  no  one  acquainted 
with  the  purity  of  his  mottves,  and  the 
benevolence  of  his  nature,  who  could  fsit 
to  esteem  the  man.  At  all  times  his  cha* 
ritiet ,  as  well  as  his  efforts  to  promot4)  and 
reward  merit  in  the  arts,  especially  when 
the  reputation  of  Ireland  was  to  be  ad- 
vanced, were  only  limited  by  his  resources. 
Particularly  during  the  closing  years  of  a 
long  and  honoured  life,  when  age  requlr 
repose  and  retirement,  IjopA  Cloncuw^ 
devoted  himself  to  works  of  bencvolene 
with  a  sincerity  which  avoided  all  ostcnta^ 
tion,  and  with  a  discrimination  which  se- 
lected  the  most  fittiag  objects  for  his 
bounty." 

By  his  first  wife,  Eliia-Georgtani, 
youngest  daughter  of  Major-Gen.  George 
Morgan  (whose  divorce  took  place  in  1811 
in  consequence  of  proceedings  in  which 
Sir  John  Bennett  Piers  was  defendant,  and 
who  was  remarried  in  1819  to  the  Rev. 
John  Ssnford),  his  Lordship  had  two 
children,  1.  Mary^Margarct,  married  first 
in  1830  to  John-Michael- Henry  Baron  de 
Robeck  (which  marriage  was  iUssolved  in 
1828),  and  secondly  to  Lord  Sussex  Len- 
nox ;  and  3.  the  Hon.  Ann* Valentine,  a 
son,  who  died  in  18S5,  in  his  twentieth 
year.  By  his  second  marriage,  with  Kmily, 
third  daughter  of  Archibald  Douglas,  esq. 
of  Darnock,  and  widow  of  Joseph  Leesou^ 
esq.  (by  whom  she  had  issue  the  present 
Earl  of  Milltown  and  two  uther  children, 
both  now  deoeased),  Lord  Cbucurry  had 
five  other  children,  of  whom  the  only  prt« 
sent  survivor  is  his  successor.  They  were, 
3*  the  lion,  Emily,  who  died  in  1895,  in 
her  nineteenth  year ;  4.  the  Hon.  \' olen- 
dna  Maria,  who  died  young  ;  &.  Edward, 
now  Lord  Cluncurry  ;  G.  the  Bou.  Frede^ 
rick- William,  who  died  in  1824,  in  his 
fifth  year;  and  7.  the  Hon.  Cecil-John 
Lawlese,  who  is  dead  since  his  father  (see 
p.  87).  Lord  Cloncurry  became  a  second 
time  a  widower  in  1841. 

The  present  Lord  was  born  in  181 G.  and 
married  in  1839  Elizabeth,  only  daughter 
of  John  Kirwan,  esq.  of  Coatle  Uaoket, 
CO.  Gal  way,  by  whom  he  bai  ft  numerous 
family. 

The  remains  of  Lord  Cloncurry  were 
interred  by  torchlight,  at  half-pa^t  seven

In  1822  he  became  first  Lieut*  of  the

there  it  remained  until  shot  away.'' 

We  may  add  another  remarkable  anecdote  (also  from  a  letter  of  Captain  Pasco  to 
Mr.  Cole).  When  the  frcih  ships  from  England  joined  Nelson*s  fleet,  they  had  the 
hoops  of  thejr  masts  painted  black.  As  this  was  a  common  prnctke  with  the  enemy* 
it  did  not  long  escape  Nelson^s  penetrating  glance,  and  he  telegraphed  each  ship  to 
paint  her  hoops  yellow^  that  in  the  event  of  even  a  roast  being  dlstiuguishnhlc  in  the 
imoke,  no  mistaken  fire  might  be  poured  into  a  friend  : — so  minute^ — »o  far  seeing-^

neotarj  contests  of  the  last  twenty  yeara; 
osrtainlj  none,  who  eoteri&g  into  tbem, 
met  with  to  little  success.  In  May  1833, 
Sir  John  Cam  Hobhoose  having  resii^cd 
hU  *eat  for  Westminster  (in  consequence 
of  not  being  able  as  a  minister  to  redeem 
hts  pledge  for  the  repeal  of  the  house  and

cune  a  i  )r  that  city,  in  oppo- 

•ilioa  t't  Oe  Lflcy  Evans*     He 

waa  propoiod  by  Dr.  Golding,  and  seconded 
by  Mr,  Dundai.  Colonel  Evans,  in  answer 
to  Mr,  Wakley,  promised  to  vote  for  the 
repeal  of  the  Septennial  Act,  for  the  repeat 
of  the  Com  Laws,  and  for  V^ote  by  Ballot. 
Mr.  Efcott  would  Dot  bind  himsdf  by  any 
pladgea.  The  result  of  this  contest  was 
JU  follows  : — ^for  Colonel  De  Lacy  Evans, 
SO??t  S!r  John  Hobhouse,  1855  ;  Bickhaai

^^  ,        /  ;  Bickbam  Escott*  esq. 

mr  years  afterwards,  however,  ot 
ikju  of  1811,  he  attained  the  ob- 
Ins  ambition,  beating  Mr.   R.  B. 
'    by  above  a  hundred  votes,  the 
uuinum  being — James  Bullcr  East,  esq. 
320 ;  Bkkbam  Escott,  esq,  292  ;   It  B. 
Crowdcr*  ciq.  19!  ;   F,  Pigott,  esq.  166. 
Doting  this  period  his  politics  underwent 
a  change.     On  presenting  himself  to  the 
elector*   in   1847,  in  the  character  of  a 
LJIjeral  Consenative,  he  was  defeated  by 
the  ^*  ^     ''  -list  interest,  in  the  person  of 
lii-  'league  Sir  J*  H.  Eawt,   who 

polL.  L  .  :o  Mr,  EseoLt'K  234;  Mr. 
Bonhant  Carter  (Liberal)  heading  ihe  poll 
with  S36  votes.  Defeated  here,  Mr.  Es- 
cott tiginu»d  to  a  higher  priie,  wbich  his 


local  claims  should  have  obtained  him — 
a  seat  for  West  Someraetf  where*  as  an 
active  magistrate,  he  commanded  respect 
without  however  carrying  influence.  At 
that  period  party  fury  was  at  Its  highest 
pitch ;  tljc  qunlifications  of  men  were 
utterly  disregarded  ;  and  to  secure  success 
with  an  agricultural  constituency  it  was 
requbitc  that  the  candidate  sbonld  tie 
himself  neck  and  heete  to  the  system  of 
Protection.  Mr.  EscoU  started  as  an 
independent  candidate  against  the  nomt* 
Dces  of  a  political  club,  which  had  been 
long  actively  and  secretly  working  on  the 
prejudices  of  the  landed  interest.  The 
result  of  the  poll  was — C.  A.  Moodyi  esq. 
3603;  Sir  A.  Hood,  3311;  the  Hon. 
Philip  Bouvcrie,  2783  ;  Bickbam  Eacott, 
esq.  2^24.  At  too  late  a  period  to 
be  effective,  Mr.  E»cott  coalese^jd  with 
Mr,  Bouverie*  and,  considering  the  odda 
against  him,  fought  a  gallant  battle. 
With  belter  arrangement*  it  is  bclieTcd 
that  the  result  of  the  election  would 
have  been  different  from  what .  it  was ; 
and  that  if  Mr,  Escott  had  come  for- 
ward again,  after  the  excitement  of  1B47 
bad  passed  away,  he  would  have  died 
a  member  for  the  Western  division  of 
Somerset  In  the  August  of  the  following 
year,  however,  he  turned  aside  to  Chelten- 
ham, on  the  disqualification  of  Mr.  Craven 
Berkeley,  boldly  challenging  the  Berkeley 
interest,  and  polled  835  vo^  against  Mr. 
Orenville  Berkeley's  986.  His  Ust  essay 
was  at  Plymouth,  at  the  Itite  general  elec- 
tion, and,  considering  the  exposures  which 
have  been  made  of  that  affair,  it  will  not 
be  wondered  at  that  Mr.  Escott,  standing 
on  independent  principles,  wus  at  the  foot 
of  the  poll.  His  votes  numbered  only  372, 
whilst  Mr.  Brainc  polled  906,  Mr.  Collier 
1004,  and  Mr.  Marc  1036.  In  the  reiuU 
of  this  election  we  see  at  once  Mr.  Escott^s 
character  and  his  general  unsncccss.  He 
harangued  large  meetings  with  great  effect 
(for  he  was  an  accomplished  orator)  ;  with 
the  people  he  was  on  immense  fav ouritei 
but  be  was  too  independent  to  bear  the 
shaeklea  of  either  party,  and  too  himest 
to  resort  to  illegal  methods  of  securing  an 
election.  He  spoke  from  the  heart,  un- 
daunted by  opposition,  and  hia  fearless 
attacks  u|H>fi  the  Fee  system  in  Somerset* 
shire,  and  hii  manly  addresses  to  the 
farmers  at  the  Ilminstcr  and  other  Agri' 
cidtural  Societies,  will  long  bear  testimony 
to  the  honesty  and  frankness  of  bis  dispo* 
aitiou.  His  lost  public  appearance  was  in 
January  hiatt  when,  in  a  most  eloquent 
orntion  at  the  Sonu^rset  County  Meeting, 
he  supportrd  ihe  prupoiittiun  for  rotitoriiin^ 
the  Wellington  monument. 

Mr.  Escott  was  an  enthusiastic  admirer 
of  the  fine  arts,  pOBBessiDg  a  fine  taate  and

Arnold,    nnd   afterwvdjs  the   fiutborois), 

being  in  her  eb amber,  th«  iadignant  t>oy 
was  taken  to  her  bed,  and  soothed  with 
the  tones  of  the  musical  clock.  The  chimes 
so  delighted  the  infant  musictsn  that  Mr. 
Gardiner  always  considered  this  incident 
lirst  awakened  bis  aitrntion  to  the  betnty 
of  musical  soands.  In  a  few  years  after 
this  a  grand  music  meeting  took  place  ia 
Leitmter,  under  the  auspices  of  Mr.  Cra- 
dock,  of  Guraley,  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Leicester  InJirmory  ;  and  on  this  occasion 
young  Gardiner  was  taken  into  the  or- 
chfistm  of  Sl  Martin's  church  by  his 
father.  On  the  cTening  of  the  larao  day 
be  heard  the  **  full  and  prolonged  tones 
of  Giordioi**  violtn/'  at  a  concert  held  in 
the  Castle.  At  five  or  six  years  of  age  he 
was  set  upon  a  seat  in  the  Great  Meeting 
and  sang  the  solo  in  Knapp's  Wedding 
Anthem,  on  the  nuptials  of  some  of  his 
father's  accpiaintauee  ;  and,  when  very 
young*  he  was  a  performer  on  the  vitda 
and  the  piano.  At  the  CDnclusion  i>f  tlic 
Araerican  war,  on  the  return  of  the  militia 
to  Leicester,  he  was  de lighted  to  bear  the 
bnTul  play  at  Lhc  evening  parade,  and  then 
bis  youtlifnl  ambition  prompted  him  to 
make  his  tirst  cuaay  at  musical  compnsi' 
tiuui  hy  writing  a  march  amlquick^tcp  for 
thuni  to  perform-  These  were  presented 
to  tCte  master  as  the  composition  of  an- 
otber^  and  Ibo  juvenile  composer  had  the 
gratification  of  standing  in  the  outer  ring 
of  persons  endrcliiig  the  bund  in  the  mar- 
ket-place to  hear  tbo  performimee  of  bis 
own  first  work,  which,  he  says,  tilled  him 
with  a  secret  pride,  and  was  tbe  com- 
mencement of  his  pursuit  of  on  art  which 
occupied  tbo  leisure  hours  of  a  long  fife, 

Mr.  Gurdiner  had  but  scanty  eilucation. 
On  leaving  a  dame  school,  kept  by  a  Mrs. 
Loseby,  be  woa  cotrnnted  to  Mr.  Carriclr, 
then  the  sole  initruetor  of  ''  Young  Let- 
cesterp"  who  taught  little  more  than  writ- 
ing and  the  first  rules  of  arithmetic*  Bat 
his  father's  acquAintoJicea  were  men  of 
talent,  and  he  was  allowed  to  listen  to 
their  conversation,  and  to  ask  them  quel- 
tions,  whicli  thus  at  once  prompted  and 
salinfied  his  love  of  knowledge^  A  very 
slight  amount  of  teaching  in  Latin  and 
Greek,  completed  his  scholastic  course. 
Tbe  eirek  of  which  bo  was  a  member  waa, 
however,  intelleeluul  in  its  tastes, 
though  limited  in  numbers,  Ibey 
ardent  votaries  of  science  and  literuturo. 

At  this  time  a  stranger  came  to 
cestcr,  who  very  soon  drew  round  him  all 
these  young  spirits.  He  was  a  scliool. 
master,  and  being  conversant  with  ilie 
higher  brjinchcs  of  mathematics,  and  [los* 
sessing  some  knowledge  of  astronomy  and 
electricity,  he  become  the  leader  of  this

Il6  c  cvlene,  Tbia  st  range  r  was  nfter- 
I  Sir  Riduird  Phillips,  a  well-known 
fsbUilicr  in  London  ;  and  the  band  of 
]ro«n$^loaopiiert  eooitituted  thems^lveti 
into  tbe  Adelpbi  Pbiloiopbical  Society. 
Among  them  were,  besides  Gardiner  and 
PhiUipi,  Thomas  Lock  wood,  the  late 
Tbomns  Paget  (furgeon),  John  Coltcnanf 
mmot,  Sow  net  Coltman,  and  G.  llarlej 
Vn§9&io.  Faarteen  out  of  the  seventeen 
MMibers  were  minors*  Their  proceed- 
ioga  commenced  in  the  year  17d9,  when 
Gardiner  was  nineteen  years  old  ;  and  he, 
and  Mr.  PhilUpt  and  Mr.  Paget^  seem  to 
hntt  been  the  leading  minds  of  the  aoeiety, 
for  they  were  the  authors  of  its  principal 
papers.  Young  Gardiner's  contributions 
wtre  thus  headed: — ''Whether  all  the 
Celestial  Bodies  naturally  attract  each 
other  ?  " — **  What  arc  those  bodies  called 
LCometa  ?  " — **  Ou  Matter  and  its  proper- 
One  anionic  their  modes  of  pro- 
scientific  inquiry,  we  are  told, 
the  Hxing  of  an  electric  conductor 
'  Phillipa*s  bouse,  and  this  attracted 
;  attention  of  the  local  authorities.  At 
time  the  French  Revolution  broke 
and  whether  it  was  that  the  mayor 
magistrates  suspected  the  young 
of  being  illnmioAti,  or  that  there 
treason  m  electricity,  was  never  re- 
eled J  but  it  is  recorded  in  a  volume  of 
prooeediogs,  in  the  handwriting  of 
i  aniiject  of  this  notice^  that  the  society 
a  damolved  in  the  year  1790,  the  "  cou- 
Utated  nothorities  of  Leicester  having^ 
1  their  opinion  that  its  object  was 
fa  dnogeroas  tendency  !  " 
Purroita  of  a  lesi»  su(»picious  character 
still  open  to  Mr.  Gardiner^  and  the 
rival  of  a  German  emigrant  iu  Leicester^ 
[the  Abb^  Dobler,  chaplain  to  the  Elector 
pFabtine,  gave  a  stimulus  to  his>  musical 
llastcs,  which  formed  an  era  in  his  life. 
rough  black-headed  boy,"  the  son  of 
i  innkeeper  at  Bonn,  had  attracted  the 
Dticm  of  the  Abb^,  while  in  Germany, 
fltriking  talent  for  music.  The 
etor  placed  the  youth  under  Haydn  at 
This  youth  was  tlie  extraordinary 
L  genius,  Beethoven  ;  and,  just  pre- 
to  the  Abbe's  departure,  he  had 
his  violin  trio  in  e  Hat,  which 
|he  Abb^S  had  put  into  his  trunk,  with 
ome  quartette  of  Haydn  and  Wranisky. 
[On  arriving  in  Leicester  he  made  Mr. 
LlyardtDcr's  acquaintance,  and,  with  bis 
ice,  and  that  of  Mr.  Valentine,  the 
of  Beethoven 'ti  music  were  first 
llieard  in  that  town  in  1791,  before  they 
I  were  known  in  tht*  metropolis.  This  com- 
IpOfitioD  (according  to  Mr.  Gardiner's  own 
ritatement)  opened  a  fresh  view  of  tbe 
aosical  art,  in  which  sounds  were  made 
to  excite    the   imagination   entirely  in  a 


wvaioali 


different  way,  raimng  it,  without  the  aid  of 
words,  to  the  highest  regions  of  thought. 

Early  in  life  Mr.  Gardiner  entered  into 
buBiness  as  assistant  to  Mr.  Coltman,  a 
warehouseman  of  hosiery  (the  staple  nianu- 
facture  of  Leicester)^  and  who  was  also 
known  as  a  coin -collector.  In  the  oonrse 
of  his  duties  he  visited  various  parts  of  the 
country,  and  formed  a  large  circle  t>f  ac- 
ijuaintances  and  friends,  oii  well  by  his 
i'onversationa)  as  his  musical  talents. 

Excited,  like  so  many  ardent  spirita  at 
the  time,  by  the  events  of  the  French  Re- 
volntioD,  he  took  a  lively  interest  in  the 
startling  events  of  its  progress,  and  io  bis 
Memoirs  has  dwelt  at  length  on  iH  more 
rcmarkabte  passages,  and  the  sentiments  to 
which  they  successively  gave  birth.  His 
sympathies  were  throughout  with  the  po- 
pular party  ;  but  at  length,  like  all  im- 
partial witD eases,  he  was  compelled  to 
condemn  the  ezceasea  of  the  republicans. 
At  the  first  blush  of  peace  in  1B§2,  he 
hastened  to  visit  Paris,  where  he  en- 
countered Mr.  Stone,  to  whom  and  to 
Mis5  Helen  Maria  Williams  be  had  letters 
of  introduction.  The  lady  kindly  took 
him  through  the  city,  and  pointed  out  to 
him  the  memorable  spots  of  the  Revolu- 
tion. He  was  furnished  with  a  letter  to 
General  Morticr  from  a  Mr.  Silvester^  of 
Manchester,  vrith  whom  the  General  had 
served  his  clerkship  as  a  merchant  ;  and 
he  dined  with  that  personage  at  the  Etat 
Major— the  Horse  Guards  of  the  French 
metropolis,  in  company  with  Madame 
Mortier,  and  the  general  officers,  Meiioo, 
Souit,  and  Lefevre.  Ou  the  evening  of 
the  same  day  he  went  to  the  opera,  and 
there  saw  the  First  Consul,  Buonaparte, 
dressed  in  his  robes  of  scarlet  and  gotd^ — 
a  spectacle  which  Mr.  Gardiner  declared 
to  be  magnificent.  In  Paris  also  he  visited 
Dcnon,  the  traveller  in  Egypt ;  Didot,  the 
inventor  of  stereotypy  •,  and  Fleyel,  the 
composer,  whose  invitation  to  dine  he 
declined,  in  order  that  he  might  not  fall  to 
be  present  at  the  exhibition  of  the  water- 
works at  A^ersailles.  A  few  days  after  he 
was  present  at  the  Anniversary  Fete  of  the 
Revolution,  and  again  saw  the  First  Consul, 
then  in  hts  'Jt^ud  year,  as  he  waa  descend- 
ing the  grand  staircase  of  the  Saile  rfe* 
Ambassadeurt,  Mr.  Gardiner  passed  his 
evenings  in  Parts  agreeably  nt  the  foircnr 
of  Miss  VVilliams,  where  he  met  a  vast 
variety  of  characters  and  personages  \  but 
hia  visit  was  abruptly  brought  to  a  close,  by 
Ilia  landlord  inronning  him  that  an  officer 
of  the  police  had  been  with  him  to  aay, 
that  a  gentleman  in  the  hotel  had  been

Mr.  Gardiner  also  compiled  An   entire 

^ratorlo,  the  subject  of  wliich  was  Judah. 

It  was  a  concerto  of  the  finest  choruses  of 

iaydn»  Moaart»  and  Becthorent  with  por- 

iions  from  some  other  dassic  mastei'a,  In-

|Own.  In  order  to  complete  his  dosigpi.  This 

Mai  published  uniformly  with  his  Sacred 

[Jifelodies. 

The  Lives  of  Haydn  and  Moaart  were 
translated  for  him  by  the  Rev.  C.  Berry 
nd  Mr.  R,  IBrewiii^  nnd  it  was  not  until 
'  ho  had  incnrred  the  cipcnsca  of  papei* 
I  printing,  that  he  proceeded  to  seek  for 
Ie  publisher.  So  well,  however,  hud  hu 
rttaoaged  the  technical  part  of  tbia  busi* 
TlUfSB,  which  is  generally  a  dangerous  step 
Pwith  authorni  that  Mr.  Murray  was  in- 
I^Uocd  to  adopt  the  work,  and  even  to 
liow  him   a   moderate  profit  on  (he  e«- 

tenses  incurred.  He  aftcrwanU  offered 
is  new  and  more  original  work  to  Mur* 
I.tmy,  but  his  hands  were  then  full,  and 
Ji  was  accepted  l>y  Longmans.  This  wss

In  iJi.'Ui  Mr.  fjardiner  produoed  two 
volumes  of  *'  Music  and  Friends  ;  or  Plea* 
^— *  llecolJcclions  of  a  Dilettante ;"  to 
i  third  and  ilnal  volume  was  added 


early  last  year.  For  an  account  of  this 
work,  which  la  composed  In  part  of  music 
as  well  aa  gossip,  we  m«y  refer  to  the 
ample  reviews  and  entraeta  which  we  made 
at  each  period  of  its  publidUion.  It 
abounds  not  merely  with  pleaaant  anec- 
dotes of  many  persons  of  rank  and  dii- 
tinction  to  whom  his  talents  made  him  a 
welcome  visitor,  but  also  with  incidental 
notices  of  most  of  the  great  notorieties  ot 
his  age,  for  he  had  a  strong  predilection 
fnr  seeking  out,  so  fkr  as  his  opportunities 
allowed  himt  those  persons  as  well  as  those 
places  which  are  best  worthy  of  attention 
and  of  remembrance, 

Another  work  by  Mr,  Gardiner,  but 
which  we  have  not  seen,  was  the  reaolt  of

1  !  together, 

in  km  I  hi  CO  iiteuiry  work&,  Lh^jic  are  more 
than  fifty  songs  composed  by  himself, 
besides  many  more  that  he  *•  improved  by 
cutting  out  old -fashioned  flourinhes  now 
obsolete,*' 

In  1S4B  he  repaired  to  the  inaagoratioo 
of  Becthoven^s  statue  at  Bonn,  when  Prof. 
Walter  of  the  university  observed  that  an 
English  gentleman  was  present  who  was 
bom  in  the  same  ypar  with  Beethoven,  and 
who  was  the  lirst  person  who  iutrodaced 
bis  music  into  that  country.  He  proposed 
that  that  gentleman  should  affix  hb  name 
to  a  parchment  about  to  be  deposited  be- 
neath the  statue.  "  I  ascended  the  steps 
of  the  pedestal,  and,  with  a  trembling  hand 
would  have  written  ray  name  ;  but  there 
was  soiree ly  room.  There  was,  however,  a 
upace  just  under  Victoria  and  Albert,  when 
all  and  one  cried  out, '  Anglais  I  Anglais  !* 
and  I  was  ordered  to  write  my  name  there 
— an  honour  I  could  never  have  expected, 
and  the  greatest  I  ever  received  In  my 
life.''  A  chapter  in  the  last  volume  of 
*'  Music  and  PHends,"  contains  a  long 
account  of  this  ceremonial. 

Mr.  Gardiner  attained  his  persona!  dli- 
tinction  and  reputation  principally  by  hia 
agreeable  talents  in  eonvcraation.  He 
posecsfied  an  exuberance  of  spirits,  and  a 
vivacity  which  rendered  him  generally 
neceptablc  in  society.  For  many  years— 
indeed,  throughout  Ins  life,— -his  company 
was  courted  by  those  much  higher  in 
station  than  himself,  who  were  amused  by 
his  originality  and  informed  hy  his  liiteliU 
gc nee.  With  the  natural  vanity  of  a  man 
in  great  measure  wlf-educated,  he  had  the 
infirmity  to  be  too  easily  flattered  by  the 
notice  of  tllstin^^uiBhcd  persons  ^  yet,  on 
the  other  hand,  he  wna  utwnyi^  kind  and 
attentive  to  Immble  individunls  who  showed 
any  indications  of  talent  and  a  wish  to 
learn.  Though  por^iessed  of  an  ineihaua- 
tible  fund  of  humour  and  anecdote,  his

wit  wAi  never  pointeil  with  malioe.  He 
was  oftsD  wild  in  his  opiaicmt,  and  extra* 
Taganiiii  his  rt^ marks;  but,  considering  the 
digndTHotAges  of  hid  early  educatton,  the 
extent  of  his  iDformotion  was  really  sur- 
priaiog'*  His  obgerratioiis  cpon  the  Ta- 
rioQS  papers  read  before  the  Literary  and 
Philosophical  Society  were  bright  and 
nmwnngt  though  eccentric,  and  the  au- 
dience were  always  pleased  to  see  htm 
rise.  In  reJigious  matters  bis  theories 
were  hr  too  free  ;  but  he  was  regularly 
to  be  seen  in  the  corner  of  the  pew  of  the 
diipd  to  which  be  bod  been  accojstomcd 
fraoi  bis  childhood.  In  politics  he  always 
profesied  and  maintained  opioiona  of  even 
extreme  liberal  completion.  In  hit  per- 
sonal habits  he  was  temperate  and  frngal» 
hii  meana  never  having  been  large,  and 
bis  expenses  never  exceeding  hia  means. 
Hia  uiiliar  form,  and  elastic  step,  as  he 

Gtssed  along  the  streets  with  a  book  under 
s  arm,  will  long  be  remembered  by  the 
deoiseni  of  i<eicester. 

iLnoog  hii  weaknesses  was  that  of  too 
gmit  coidldeoee  in  bli  physical  as  well  as 
bis  man  tat  energies.  He  never  walked 
with  a  stick,  and  depended  upon  regular 
axstrdae  sod  attention  to  diet  for  exemp- 
tion httm  all  diseases.  His  father  by  a 
aiBiilar  mode  of  life  (as  he  presumed)  bad 
attained  tbe  age  of  ninety>four  :  and  he 
himself  reckoned,  with  too  much  presump- 
tion, on  attaining  at  least  the  srime  period 
of  longevity.  Contrary  to  the  experience 
of  ail  mankind  from  the  days  of  tbe 
Fsalaist,  he  gravely  maintained  the  doc- 
trine lliat  it  was  not  too  extravagant  to 
•appose  that  the  dymtion  of  human  life 
mlglit  be  extended  by  \m  own  '*  uking 
thought/'  to  tbe  term  of  two  hnndFed 
or  even  a  thousand  years.  (Music  and 
FHends,  vol.  iii.  chap,  xlviii.) 

Little  more  than  a  week  before  Im 
death,  be  was  seen  in  the  town,  walking 
in  bis  customary  active  manner.  A  car* 
bancle  broke  out  on  the  back  of  his  oecki 
and  in  four  days  after  he  had  lain  himself 
npon  hia  bed,  he  was  a  corpse^  His  body 
was  interred  in  tiie  new  cemetery,  on 
Monday  the  Slat  Nov.  The  mournerB 
were  T.  Stokes,  esq.  of  New  Park,  R. 
Brewin,  esq.  of  Birstall,  Mr.  A.  Paget, 
and  Mr,  G.  Toller.  A  large  number  of 
the  congregation  of  Great  Meeting,  mem- 
bers of  the  Literary  and  Philosophical 
Society,  and  of  the  townsmen  generally 
were  present.     The  funeral  service  was 

nduoted  by  the  Rev.  C,  Ikrry.

Dec,  2.  At  her  retideDoe,  Cattle  Mea- 
dow, Norwich,  in  ber  85tb  year,  Mrs. 
Amelia  Opie. 

The  last  two  years  have  been  fatal  to 


some  of  tbe  most  ancient  among  the  lite- 
rary women  of  our  land.  Harriet  i^ee,  one 
(and  tbe  principal)  of  the  authoresses  of 
The  Canterbury  Tales  ;  Mrs.  Sherwood, 
of  large  repute  in  what  it  usually  called 
"the  religious  world;"  Miss  Berry,  the 
friend  of  Horace  Walpole ;  and  now,  with 
Amelia  Opie's  time-honoured  come,  must 
close  the  record  of  deaths  for  16&3. 

Mrs.  Opie  was  the  daughter  of  Dr. 
James  Alderson,  of  Norwich  ;  the  name  is 
best  known  at  tUe  bar  and  on  the  bencht 
where  still  ita  representative  h  sitting ; 
but  Dr.  Alderaon  was  a  popular  phyalclan 
in  his  day,  practising  during  Lis  whol« 
medical  career  in  Norwich,  and  particuUrly 
noted  for  his  kindness  and  attention  to  the 
poorer  class  of  patients.  He  had  literary 
tastes,  and  waa  a  great  politician  of  the  radi- 
cal—almost rerolntionary — kind,  Ame- 
lia's mother  dying  in  her  infancy,  she  was 
left  as  the  sole  charge  of  her  father.  It  is 
clear  that  be  greatly  endeared  himself  to  her. 
With  tbe  exception  of  her  nine  years  of 
married  life,  he  was  her  companion  during 
nearly  the  whole  of  their  joint  career :  for 
she  did  not  marry  till  the  age  of  twenty - 
nine,  and  returned  to  live  with  him  on  the 
death  of  her  husband.  It  canjiot  tmly  be 
said  that  Dr.  Aldcrson  gave  liis  daughter 
the  iteti  education  which  her  time  might 
have  afforded,  since  we  have  instances  at 
that  day  of  women  much  more  solidly  in- 
formed and  better  grounded,  who  thns  be* 
caiDC  less  tolerant  of  imperfection  in  writing 
and  reasoning,  and  far  less  likely  to  he  mis- 
led by  outward  slio  ws.  What  may ,  however, 
fairly  be  utatcd  is,  that  he  showed  his  value 
for  sterling  principle  and  solid  attainments, 
by  promoting,  as  far  as  possible,  her  in^ 
tercourse  with  a  woman  eminent  for  both — 
domestic  and  simple  iu  her  habits,  while 
keen  tu  her  appreciation  of  excellence  in 
literature  and  art.  Still,  here  was  a  young 
lady, — brilliant,  winning,  and  popular, — of 
delightful  diiposition,  but  not  at  all  u nam* 
bitious — loving  society,  and  early  its  dar- 
ling— what  wonder  was  it  if  her  wit,  her 
gaiety,  her  poetical  and  her  musical  powers, 
(united  as  these  List  were  in  song,)  carried 
the  day,  and  filli^d  that  ground  with  Howeri 
which  might  otherwise  have  more  richly 
abounded  in  fruits?  Fruits,  however,  there 
were — rich  and  precious  ones. 

Amelia  Atderson,  besides  the  early  cnl* 
ti  vat  ion  of  ber  natural  powers  and  taEtes, 
ieems  to  have  thrown  herself  warmly  into 
her  father's  political  feelings.  Being  in 
Loudon  at  that  stirring  time  (in  Nov 
17^4)  wbeu  the  trials  of  Hardy,  Home 
Tooke,  &c.  were  going  on,  she  accompanied 
some  of  her  Hcnds  to  the  law  court,  and  , 
wrote  daily  accounts  of  the  proceedings 
homo.  Her  letters  are  weU  remembered  by 
those  who  heard  or  rcfl<l  them,  as  chroui-

We  pMi  on  to  Miaa  Aldenoo'i  marriage 
in  179S,  when,  aa  haa  been  laid,  she  waa

before  that  time,  bat  not^  wo  believCf  for 
the  preaa  i  inUcaa,  potiibly^  occaitional 
amfis  for  here  muit  be  mentioned,  what

Otta  vene  ;  «be  adapUd  well :  the  single 
tliooght  or  emotion  of  a  song  waa  often 
beantiliiUy  rendered.  We  have  under- 
flood  that  many  nnpabliahed  proob  of  her 
genius  In  thia  dmrtmeot  have  been  teen 
by  private  frienda.  She  aang  theae  aooca 
Anety.  In  interpreting,  Ah:,  a  lyrical  hdUad, 
it  would  not  have  been  easy  to  find  her 
equal.  There  might  be  a  flight  ihade  of 
exaggeration  [  bat  ahe  felt  deeply,  and 
threw  heraelf  into  the  feeling  or  thought 
ihe  reprraented  ; — the  power  and  pathot 
were  rarv  and  unqueitionable. 

Wc  do  not  pretend  to  enter  on  the 
qneition  of  the  iuitabUnett  of  her  mar- 
riage connection :  no  one,  at  leant,  could 
qoeation  her  faithful,  unremitting,  earnest 
endesvourt  to  forward  the  objects  of 
Opie'i  life,  nor  her  warm  sympathy  in  hii 
pains  and  pleasures.  We  cannot  read  the 
memoir  prefixed  to  hii  Lectures,  and  not 
feel  both  her  attachment  for  sad  her  on- 
dentaoding  of  him.  It  is  known  that 
she  bore  meekly  with  his  occaaronal 
ronghneai — shed  the  light  of  her  own 
charming  temper  on  his  somewhat  moody , 
anxious  turn  of  mind ; — ^was  helper,  com- 
forter»  inipirer,  nurse.  He  died  in  1B07, 
and  she,  after  her  nine  years  of  wedded 
life,  returned  to  Norwich,  never  thence- 
forth to  quit  it,  at  a  home.  It  is  right 
to  add,  that  during  her  married  jean 
her  pen  was  frequently  under  exercise ; 
not  without  need,  for  the  pain  ting-room 
anci^etaea  were  not  such  as  to  place  her  at 
her  ease,  and  her  Iotc  of  society  conld 
not  be  indulged  without  expense.  Of  ber 
works,  '*Tbe  Father  and  Daughter,"  pnb- 
liabed  in  1801,  is  perhaps  the  most  strik- 
iQg.  It  was  translated  and  drmmatised,

of  their  reasonable  ooodemnation  wnuUl 
bring  us  in  real  life  one  atep  farther  frvim 
their  contaminatitLg  intfoenoea — was  surcljr 
unworthy  of  one  aoquoititod  with  hn^ 
nature. 

Mr.  Opie^s  death  bronght  hts  widow 
only  to  the  age  of  thirty-eight,  and  she 
lived  forty-seven  yeara  kmger.  She 
might,  we  are  assured,  have  married  again, 
bat  the  remained  as  she  was,  her  fa^ier^B 
inmate — the  friend, — the  chaerful,  lively 
guest,  whose  conversational  and  musical 
powers  were  alwsyii  welcome ;  who  was 
ever  **  a  friend  in  need.*'  Her  father  died 
after  a  long  decline,  during  which  she 
tended  and  nursed  him  with  devoted 
affection.  It  was  during  the  long  cos^ 
finement  of  that  time  thlt  ii%lBai  ins* 
pressions  were  certainly  demenad 
ftreogtbened  in  her  heart.  Her  ft

to  converse  upon  theae  subjects,  no 
found  pleasure,  advantage,  and  comfort  m'

J.  J.  Gurney,  and,  by  hts  own  desire,  W! 
interred  in  the  burial-ground  of  tl 
Friends.

lay  between  the  Wesleyan  Methedials  and

■peecli  iuiTe  all  to  be  arrajred  in  a  style

is*  that  the  J  laay  be  smcercly  adopted  as 
part  of  a  system,  ia  the  main  considered 
as  0ood  sod  widc;  may  be  barricadei 
a^faiast  retrogression  and  pledges  of  bv-iog 
ill  eBTuest.  in  Mra.  Opie'a  case,  we  do 
not  think  either  ber  new  or  old  friends 
had  the  leaat  reason  to  charge  her  with 
fickleness:  and  dcKbt  whether  for  two 
minutes  together,  she  ever  felt  a  wish  to  be 
free  of  what  seemed  tramoaeld  ta  others. 
One  needed  only  to  observe  how  her  o^er- 
fl owing,  exuberant  spirit  of  cnjoymieDt 
stood  anrebnked  by  her  garb,  or  how  her 
coiinteDanoe  only  softened  into  a  look  of 
more  acrions  happiness,  to  be  assured  that 
there  was  no  self-deception  in  the  matter. 
What  would  the  world  ha?e  had  ?  She 
was  lofing  and  candid  ;  willing  to  be  at 
peace  with  it  where  she  could;  quietly 
walking  in  her  own  wajs  where  she  could

The  trials  of  ber  later  years  were  sharper 
than  the  wis  willing  to  allow.  Sbe  bud 
mure  bodily  affliction  than  even  those  in 
the  house  with  ber  easily  found  out ;  for 
it  was  her  perpetual  habit  to  make  as  little 
IS  possible  of  pain.  Far  deeper,  more  real 
was  the  grief  that  spmug  from  the  loss, 
one  by  one,  of  her  most  cherished  friemls. 
The  death  of  Sarah  UuAton,  of  North 
Repps  Cottage,  Cromer, — then  of  ber 
brother,  Sir  Thomas  Fowell  Buxton— of 
J*  J.  Gurney — of  his  married  daughter — 
andt  last  nol  least,  that  of  the  late  Bishop 
of  Norwich — ^whom  she  greatly  loved  and 
fahied — weresuccesaire  shocks  from  which 
she  did  not  easily  recover  ;  and  it  is  said 
that  she  seldom  mentioned  either  of  these 
persons  without  shedding  tears;  though 
always  wiudiug  up  with  a  few  warm  words 
iodicative  of  the  strong  belief  in  a  re-union 
hereafter. 

in  May,  1851,  she  came  to  London  on 
her  last  Tisits,  and  attended  th<s  great  Ex« 
hibition  ;  on  which  occasion,  while  cou- 
ducted  in  her  chair  round  the  building — 
for  she  was  very  lame — she  met  Miss 
Berry,  tbeo  ninety  years  of  age,  and  con- 
Tcrsed  with  her  in  her  usual  lifely 
She  returned  to  Norwich-  Her 
i  animated  notei  and  letters  still 
to  her  friends.  In  one  of  the^e, 
dated  4th  Month  27th,  1B52,  she  speaks 
with  more  disturbance  than  was  usual  to 
her  of  a  threatened  removal  from  her  boose 
in  the  Castle  Meadow,  in  consequence  of 
City  aiteratioiiB.  *'  Only  think,  dt^ar  friend, 
what  an  unfortunate  person  I  am  I  I  must 
go,  if  aliTC,  somewhere  else,  and  this  is  the 
most  complete  bouse  for  a  lame  invalid 
that  evej-  was.  Well  1  what  must  be,  must 
be;  and  I  hope  1  shall  get  a  habitation

somewhere,  even  before  1  iohahit  ray  grassy 
grave  I''  It  is  a  comfort  to  think  that  no 
move  was  made,  until  the  last  and  linal 
one.  But  the  last  half-year  appeared  to  be 
marked  by  more  rapid  stages  of  decline. 
None  of  her  relatives  resided  with  her,  for 
in  general  she  preferred  being  alone  ;  but 
during  the  last  month  she  was  attended 
by  one  of  a  younger  generation,  the  Rev, 
R.  Alderson,  who  performed  all  the  fiiial 
olhees,  and  closed  her  eyes.  Slic  was  in- 
terred in  the  grave  of  her  father,  at  the 
Frienda*  Bufial  Ground,  Gildencro ft,  Nor- 
wich, amid  a  considerable  concourse  of 
persons  who  had  known,  and  many  of 
whom  loved  her.  What  has  been  said  of 
her  before,  we  now,  in  conclusion,  repeat. 
She  was  '*true  in  heart  and  true  in  life  ; 
generous,  confiding,  and  faithful.  Her 
cheerful  heart  shone  through  her  bright 
face,  and  brought  comfort  and  pleasure 
into  every  house  she  entered  ;  and  her  deep 
reverence  for  all  lofty  and  sacred  things 
was  as  remarkable  as  the  cheerfulncai 
itself." 

We  shall  ever  regard  her  life  as  one  of 
tlie  healthiest  and  happiest  we  have  known, 
and  consider  it  as  one  of  our  biessings  that 
a  portion  of  our  own  has  been  brightened 
by  the  friendly  regard  of  Amelia  Opie.

Oct.  28.  At  Little  Hsiywoodj  Colwich, 
Staffordshire,  aged  Jb',  Mr.  James  Trub- 
shaw,  C.E. 

ile  was  born  at  the  Mount,  Colwich, 
Feb.  13,  1777,  and  was  therefore  four 
years  and  a  half  senior  to  another  vt^ry 
cmmcBt  member  of  the  same  Society  (of 
Civil  Ktigineers),  whom  in  after-life  he 
was  proud  to  call  his  frieud,  and  to  whom 
he  looked  up  with  sincere  respect  and 
affection,  the  late  George  Stephenson,  esq. 
(see  Gent.  Mag.  Oct.  1848),  by  ivhoui,  in 
turn,  as  also  by  liis  distinguished  eon,  he 
was  met,  on  all  occasions  of  intercouri>e, 
with  the  most  kind  attention  and  cour- 
tesy.  And  here,  it  may  be  observed,  that 
(allowing  for  individual  diversities)  there 
were  many  points  of  resemblance  hnetween 
that  very  remarkable  man  and  hinuielf» 
both  in  character  and  in  career.  Both 
were  strictly  men  of  original  genius,  of 
great  natural  talent,  and  perse vcri tig 
energy  ;  hoth  were  of  simple,  open,  manly 
bearing  ;  both  had  been  subjected  to  the 
discipUae  of  actual  work  in  younger  days  ; 
and  both  were  the  makers  of  their  own 
erentual  reputations  and  pobitious  in  life. 
It  may  be  added,  that  hoth  were  equally 
esteemed  and  respected,  whertver  known, 
as  men  of  tmblemished  integrity.  But  it

[Jan» 


it«  owa  solid  foirod&UoD.  The  points  of  rc- 
scinbhnce  have  been  alluded  to  only  because 
thcf  were  fellow  labourers  of  the  same 
geueriition,  for  the  benefit  of  thetr  coQatrjt 
in  a  common  department ;  and  because  la 
IVlr*  Trubshaw  perbapa  the  last  ia  gone  of 
the  old  scboot  of  engrneers*  whoae  works 
will  be  hstided  down  to  posterity  as 
records  of  intuitive  genius  combined  with 
singular  practical  skill.  For  Mr.  Trub- 
fthawi  like  hij  great  contemporary »  had 
few  adTantngct  of  education ;  but  in  it^ 
itead  he  aeemeJ  to  be  gifted  with  an  in- 
atinctiire  prrocption  of  all  great  roecbaiii* 
oal  pnoeiples,  uniformly  guided  by  excel- 
lent common  iienae. 

In  earlier  life  hi«  abilities  became  gra- 
dually known,  chicHy  within  his  own 
county,  where  be  actjuired  the  favour  and 
esteem  of  many  of  its  arietocacy.  His 
iirat  special  patronesi  and  friend  was  the 
then  Mrs.  Snejdi  of  Ashcomb,  to  whom 
he  himftelf  always  attributed  his  aturt  \n 
the  world  ;  but  thronghout  life  he  received 
unremitting  encouragement  and  kindnets 
(and  csen  poj^thnmonHly)  from  other  tnem- 
bera  of  that  much  respected  family.  The 
late  Sir  Thonais  Cotton  Sbeppnrd  and  his 
father  may  be  roeotioned  as  otber  con- 
stant friends;  and,  at  n  later  dayr  Sir 
George  Philips ;  by  aU  of  whom  bis  tried 
worth  was  consistently  appreciated;  but 
his  name  was  well  known  and  esteemed 
through  the  county  genenUty.  At  a  later 
day  Kfr.  Trubshaw  became  Engineer  of 
the  Trent  and  Mersey  Canid  Company,  in 
which  capacity  his  serrkea  and  works 
were  of  the  most  valuable  kind,  whether 
in  thet  way  of  construction,  repair,  or  su- 
pervision.  The  various  reservoina,  feeders, 
tfiW — -  ""!  other  work*  which  he  di* 
r»  ,t  Company,  bear  equal  wit- 

iii  t>rm  or  other,  to  his  judicious 

tiutiit^cuiriit  or  able  contrivance. 

At  an  architect  Mr.  Trubshaw  was  na- 
tumlty  without  clasdc  pretensions  ;  but 
his  dest^na  were  always  cleverly  arranged

<  arth  on  the  higher 
'*uag««  adapted  to  the 


purpose,  until  the  fabric  above  might  i 
dually  sink  and  settle  by  its  own  weight, 
Mr.  Trubshaw  restored  the  tower  to  its 
upright  position,  without  damage  to  a 
single  stone  of  the  whole  building.* 

In  the  outset  of  his  career,  however,  his 
great  fancy  had  been  for  bridges,  and,  as 
his  earliest  works  of  any  magnitude  were 
in  that  branch  of  art  and  science,  so  were 
his  latest  and  greutest.  Perhaps  the 
»' Grosvenor  Bridge"  over  the  Dee,  at 
Chester  (so  named  by  her  present  Ma* 
jcsty,  then  the  Princess  Victoria,  at  its 
formal  opening  in  1832),  is,  and  will  re- 
main, bts  master-piece  of  ability.  An 
elegant  design  for  the  structure  hid  been 
produced  by  the  late  Mr.  Harrison,  of 
that  city,  and  its  cleveroeas  and  beauty 
were  readily  acknowledged*  To  design, 
however,  is  sometimes  easier  than  to  exe- 
cute ;  and  where  was  to  be  found  a  man 
bold  enough  to  undertake  a  work,  which — 
if  ever  completed— was  to  stand  unrivalled 
in  the  annals  of  bridge-bnilding  ?  A  single 
arch  was  to  be  thrown  across  the  river,  of 
a  span  exceeding  two  hundred  feet.  Tel- 
ford and  other  celebrated  engineers  bad 
pronounced  the  feat  almost  impracticable; 
and  the  terms  o(  contract  alone,  amonnt- 
ing  to  ^6,000/.  were  sufBcientiy  formidable, 
for  a  work  attended  with  so  many  potsible, 
yet  undofiQable  hasards,  at  a  day  when  th« 
gigantic  contracts  of  later  time  had  not 
become  familiar.  Nevertheless,  Mr.  Trub- 
shaw courageously  undertook  the  work« 
It  occupied  six  years  in  the  completion ; 
thefirftt  a  to  no  having  been  laid  in  Oct  1827, 
and  the  bridge  o|iened  to  the  public  in 
Dec.  1S33.  This  was  of  course  a  term  of 
great  anxiety  and  of  severe  trial*  The 
perils,  both  by  bind  and  water,  were  many 
and  great.  Demands  were  aomctimca 
urgent,  while  supplies  were  necessarily 
dealt  out  with  rigid  caution  by  mauagen 

*  The  compiler  of  this  memoir  feeU 
himself  little  qualified  to  describe  any  me* 
chaiiicftl  process,  but  he  conceives  the 
work  to  hare  been  accomplished  as  fol- 
lows:  supposing  the  inclination  of  the 
tower  to  have  been  from  south  to  north 
(it  matters  not  whether  in  fact  it  was  so, 
or  ftcf  vwrta)^  a  working  trench  was  dug 
on  the  upper  (or  south)  side,  across  the 
breadth  of  the  tower,  and  from  this  trench 
the  ground  beneath,  as  far  as  to  the 
northern  foundations,  was  scooped  out, 
and  made  a  sort  of  colander,  leaving  so- 
lidity enough,  as  the  work  advanced,  to 
rciifit  sudden  or  violent  pressure,  yet  in- 
viting its  graduiil  subsidence  through  the 
weakness  cansed  by  the  perforations. 
Whether  this,  however,  be  a  correct  de- 
teription  or  not,  the  fact  is  indisputably 
sure.

ttien  ensued,  and  (a*  will  ever  be  the  case) 
tliere  were  not  wanting  some  who  looked 
ttpOB  the  undertaking  with  adverse  ejet, 
or  worte*  whom  (iredictlons  of  disappoint- 
iB«iitt  or  CTcn  liifis  worthy  considerations, 
forbade  to  sorrow  for  any  prospect  of

bility retted,  was  more  than  once  reduced 
to  Tery  diaquieting  straits,  fint  he  waa 
ao  T«iii  tbeoriit  or  random  pretender,  nei- 
tlier  had  be  calculated  hia  resources 
looicly ;  aad,  after  many  a  fluctuation  of 
dond  taii  aunahine,  bold  eoteqirise  and 
biOaest  persererance  had  their  reward.  The 
design  was  achieved  in  fuU ;  and  one  of 
the  many  wonders  of  this  kingdom  now 
reniains  for  a  laating  memorial  (as  ia 
hoped)  of  the  builder's  compreheusive 
j^emiii  and  sterling  courage.  The  BimpU- 
city  of  coQstnictioa  in  the  centres  of  thia 
picat  arcb  (an  intention  of  which  he  waa 
justly  proud),  and  the  mode  of  alackening 
tbem  to  brin^  the  aroh-«tones  to  their  re- 
•pecttYc  beanngB,  drew  forth  great  aJmi- 
radoo  from  the  mcmhcra  of  the  Society  to 
wbicb  Bir.  Trubabaw  belonged ,  and  by 
wbain  be  was  treated  at  all  times  with 
raarked  leapecL  A  model  of  the  bridge 
aiul  centres  (with  some  others  of  interest) 
wf«  pfTsented  by  him  to  the  Society,  and 
a  nroblem  of  no  small  importance  has  been 
aoiTtd  in  bridge  architecture  by  the 
triimipbant  issue  of  tbijs  venturoas  and 
able  work. 

Though  it  be  to  pais  from  a  greater 
anbgcct  to  i  leaif  there  are  iome  details 
coonecCed  with  a  later  work  of  Mr.  Trub- 
tbaw  (also  of  very  conaidenible  magni- 
tude),  to  graphically  characteriatic  of  the 
man,  that  thia  record  would  be  incom- 
plete without  a  reference  to  them.  Thia 
waa,  the  erection  of  the  new  bridge,  called 
the  '*  Exeter  Bridge/'  orcr  the  Derwent, 
at  Derby.  More  than  one  disastrous  flood 
occurred  in  course  of  its  progresSf  to* 
irolring  damage  obvioualy  fatal  to  all  but 
the  credit  of  the  high-spirited  contractor, 
then  on  the  steady  side  of  threescore  years 
and  tcji.  And  now  comes  the  characteris- 
tic CTidenoe  just  referred  to,  as  shown  on 
occasion  of  a  public  dinner  given  at  Derby, 
in  celebration  of  the  opening  of  this  bridge 
in  October.  1850.  The  health  of  the 
bmlder  having  been  proposed  in  compti- 
inentary  and  very  feeling  termsi  with  an 
allution  to  his  ill  fortune  in  the  foregoing 
respect,  coupled  with  good  wishes  for  "  all 
the  enjoyment  which  iotelligcnce  and  in- 
t^^ty  could  give  to  an  old  man  in  the 
last  days  of  his  life/'  Mr.  Tmbshaw  re- 
plied in  terms  worthy  of  being  recorded, 
as  a  specimen  of  what  may  be  sincerely 
called    *  unadorned  eloquence/^     '*  1  am 


much  pleased  (be  said)  that  my  conduct 
has  met  with  your  approbation.  I  bnvc 
been  in  the  habit  of  thinking  all  my  life, 
but  not  of  talking  much  j  and  if  the  bridge 
which  has  been  opened  to-day  will  carry 
ua  nil  well  over»  1  shall  be  much  gratiliied* 
With  rtspect  to  the  cost,  it  has  never  given 
me  muoh  trouble.  When  I  was  asitailed 
by  sudden  floods,  and  by  quicksands  in  the 
middle  of  the  river,  I  soon  found  out  where 
my  profits  would  be.  However^  I  have 
paid^ — or  shall  pay  in  the  course  of  a  few 
days'-all  the  ejtpenses  incurred ;  and  I 
shall  then  bum  the  accounts,  and  think  no 
more  about  them.  I  thank  the  Mayor,  in 
particular,  and  the  gentlemen  present,  for 
the  cifUity  and  kiadneas  X  have  received 
during  the  progress  of  the  work,  and  I 
hope  the  bridge  will  do  credit  to  my 
memory  when  II  am  no  more.^*  The  line 
in  the  play  forcibly  occurs  here — 

Wat  over  t*le 
Witli  a  more  gallant  modesty  rehcarwd  ? 

Mr.  Trubahaw'a  age  and  comparatively 
failing  health  after  this  period  forbade  his 
attempting  a  further  work,  to  which  alln- 
sion  bad  been  made,  and  which  was  at  the 
time  under  serious  consideration— namely, 
of  erecting  a  monument  to  Mr.  George 
Stephenson,  to  consist  of  *'  a  siogle  stone 
which  should  be  seTcml  feet  longer  than 
Cleopatra's  Needle.**  The  project  wag 
^avely  entertained,  and  he  himself  was 
sanguine  as  to  its  feasibility ;  nor  did  his 
peculiar  skill  in  the  construction  and  ap- 
plication of  machinery  for  all  bnildi^g 
purposea,  leave  much  room  for  doubt  that 
his  combined  genius  and  energy  would 
have  brought  the  scheme  to  a  successful 
issue,  bad  it  been  actually  taken  in  hand, 
and  life  been  spared  to  him.  His  ing;e* 
nuity  in  surmounting  difficulties  of  such 
kind  as  would  have  been  involved^  had 
been  very  conspicuously  shown  in  the  erec- 
tion of  a  column  at  Ramsgate,  commemo^ 
rative  of  the  landing  of  George  IV.  in 
1821  y  of  which  he  had  undertaken  the 
direction  at  request  of  Mr.  Shaw,  to  whom 
his  abilities  had  become  at  that  time  expe- 
rimentally known. 

In  social  life,  Mr.  Tmbshaw  was  cheer- 
ful fljid  friendly;  abhorrent  from  every  sort 
of  afifectaiion  or  pretence  \  aod  ready  at  all 
times  to  communicate  his  valuable  ideas 
and  stores  of  practical  information.  Order 
was  a  great  feature  of  his  mind,  in  all 
ways;  and  he  was  carefully  deferential  to 
those  of  higher  degree  with  whom  he  con* 
versed,  without  any  tincture  of  aervility. 
It  may  be  added  with  truth «  that,  as  an 
employer^  no  master  could  ever  have  taken 
more  thought  and  pains  to  render  to  jill 
Iheir  dues — as  well  to  those  who  served 
him.  OS  to  those  whom  he  served.     His

his  life  tiirongn-^wai  a  single-hearted  up- 
rightnesv.  Aa  rcapected  tlie  just  ctaima  of 
workmen^  his  own  early  experience  hat] 
made  him  a  highly  competent  judge  ;  and 
to  great  waji  his  anxiety  to  do  them  jus- 
tice alwayi,  that,  at  an  early  period  of  hiis 
buiitiea§ — which  he  commenced  at  Stone, 
with  very  slender  resource* — neither  he 
nor  hUi  very  estitn&hlc  wife  would  ever 
allow  themRclT^  any  indtttgencer  until  the 
workmf'ti'A  wages  and  all  trade  debts  had 
b«cn  ni«de  secure.  Many,  nt  that  time, 
were  the  long  and  weary  walks  he  nndcr- 
tcM>k  in  collecting  his  own  dues  for  such 
purnosea  ;  and  greatly  distressing  was  it 
to  both,  whenever  those  exertions  hop' 
pencd  to  prove  nnsucccKsrul  at  the  moment. 
And  other  like  trait)»  of  honesty  might  be 
adduced  in  abundance,  did  such  mere  per- 
sonal anecdotes  properly  belong  to  snch 
general  outline  of  character  as  the  present. 
In  person,  Mr.  Trubahaw  was  of  a  com- 
manding figure,  tall  and  athletic,  as  may 
be  judged  in  part  from  the  somewhat  sin- 
gular fiict  of  his  having  been  one  of  seven 
brothers,  whose  aggregate  height  was  not 
teas  than  forty  feet.  He  was  married  on 
the  21  St  Jan.  1801,  to  Mary,  youngest 
daughter  of  Thomas  and  Mary  Bott,  of 
Stone,  who  survives  him,  and  with  whom 
truly  found  and  shared,  during  a  terra 
more  tliAn  half  acentury,  *'  that  mutual 
I'ety,  help,  and  comfort,  which  the  one 
to  have  of  the  other  in  mnrried  life, 
nrosperity  and  adversity.*'  A  more 
;nly  united  pair  cannot  have  been 
let  with.  Forty -four  years  of  their 
bfippy  union  were  spent  at  Little  Hay- 
wood, where  he  settled  in  1809*  and  where 
they  hud  the  snti^fnction  of  receiving  from 
frirndfs,  in  IBM,  some  little  memorials  of 
icir  wrddrd  jubilee,  Three  sons  and 
ree  dmughlrn^,  of  whom  five  remain, 
re  rhr  ifsue  of  the  mArriage:  his  eldest 
,  Thomas,  an  architeet  of  conaidernhlc 
mise,  died  prematurely  in  184!Z.  His 
est  dau(;hter  is  the  wife  of  Tbomaa

Thomas  Weddle,  F.R.A.S.,  Profestor  of 
Mathematics  in  the  Roy&l  Military  CoUegr, 
Sandhurst. 

Mr,  Weddle  was  born  at  Stamford  ham, 
in  Northumberland,  or  in  its  immediate 
neighbourhood,  and  was  educated  by  Mr* 
Chester,  an  excellent  scholar,  who  wa« 
master  of  the  grammar  school  of  that  place, 
and  under  whom  he  made  considerable  pro* 
gress  in  classict.  These,  however,  he  did 
not  prosecute  far,  but  subsequently  ac- 
quired %o  much  knowledge  of  French  and 
Germnn  as  to  be  able  to  read  with  facility 
mathematical  works  written  in  those  lan- 
guages. The  bent  of  his  mind  lay  towards 
the  exact  sciences;  and  under  this  impres- 
sion he  WAS  removed  to  the  Anchorage 
School,  Gateshead,  of  which  the  late  Mr. 
Jamas  Charlton  was  then  the  conductor. 
Here  his  genius  for  mathematics  imme* 
distely  began  to  discover  itself;  for  be  not 
only  acquired  a  knowledge  of  Euclid  with 
wonderful  rapidity,  but,  while  studying  it, 
suggested  rarions  improvements  in  the  de- 
monstrations, and  many  extensions  and 
moditrcations  of  the  different  propositions. 
Here,  also,  he  became  acquainted  with  the 
method  of  applying  algebra  to  geometrical 
investigations,  by  which  he  subsequently 
made  many  beautiful  diecoveries.  A  few 
years  after  this,  he  kept  school  at  Horsley, 
near  Ovingham,  where  he  first  became  pub* 
licly  known  as  a  mathematiciaa,  having 
there  begun  to  write  in  the  Lady*i  Diary* 
Here  his  **  Method  of  Solving  Numerical 
Equations  of  all  Orders**  was  first  diaco> 
vered,  which  was  re-ad  before  the  Royal 
Society  in  1841,  and  published  in  1B43, 
while  he  was  mathematical  master  in  Dr. 
Brace's  academy.  In  some  le^^pects  this 
was  one  of  the  most  uneful  discoveries  ever 
made  in  algebra^  as  it  furnished  a  certain 
method  by  which  miraerical  equations  of 
very  high  orders  ond  involving  large  co- 
efficients could  at  all  times  be  solved,  which 
were  quite  unmanageable  by  the  old  me- 
thods ;  and  as  an  iostanoe  of  its  power  he 
gave  a  solution  of  an  equation  of  the  SOth 
degree  with  all  its  terms,  and  another  of 
an  incomplete  one  of  the  G22d  degree  in- 
volving large  coC^fficients.  As  a  sequel  to 
Professor  Davic*8  Hone  Geometricse,  Mr. 
Weddle  published  a  series  of  papers  in  the 
Lady's  Journal  on  the  properties  of  tri- 
angleti  with  thetr  inscrined  and  escribed 
circles,  of  great  boiuty  and  originality. 
The  subject  was  thought  by  many  to  have 
b^n  exhausted  ;  hut  when  taken  up  by  a 
master  mind,  it  soon  apj>eared  that  the 
properties  of  these  figures  were  ionumera- 
blc,  and  that  new  theorems  might  be  dis- 
covered without  limit  by  any  one  qualified 
for  their  investigation.     For  many  years

Stpt.  19.  In  his  65th  year,  Mr. 
Samuel  WiUiamB,  Engraver  on  Wood. 

Mr.  Williams  was  bom,  on  the  23d 
Feb.  1788,  at  Colchester,  of  poor  but  re- 
fpectable  parents.  A  love  of  Art  came 
very  early  on  him,  and  he  was  a  mere  boy 
when  he  determined  on  becoming  a  painter. 
He  soon  obtained  materials  for  carrying 
out  the  bent  of  his  ambition^  and  his  early 
easel  works,  if  the  pictures  of  a  hoy  may 
be  honoured  with  such  a  name,  are  said 
to  display  all  that  observation  of  nature, 
animate  and  inanimate,  which  bU  wood- 
CQts  in  alter  life  never  fail  to  suggest.  His 
boyish  efforti,  however,  did  not  procure 
him  employment  as  a  painter;  and  be  was 
apprenticed  to  Mr.  Marsden,  a  printer  in 
Colrbeiter.  During  his  apprenticeship  he 
taagbt  himself  to  etch  on  copper  ;  and,  a 
few  proofs  of  woodcuts  from  a  work  en- 
titled "Charlton  Ncsbil"  falling  into  his 
hands,  he  vras  induced  to  try  hic^  skill  in 
drawing  on  wood  and  engravini;  hifl  designs. 
He  pursued  this  art  without  any  cncou* 
ragement  tram  his  master,  and  ou  the  ter- 
mination of  his  apprenticeship  at  once 
entered  upon  it  as  bis  sole  business.  His 
earliest  patron  was  Mr.  Crosby,  a  London 
pnbtisber,  who  had  seen  some  of  his  boyish 
efforts,  and  who  promised  that,  if  he  ever 
came  to  London,  he  should  draw  and  en- 
grave a  "  Natural  History  '*  for  him.  Mr. 
Crosby  kept  his  promisei  and  a  i^cries  of 
300  cuts  was  given  into  the  hands  of  the 
then  aatritid  oouatry  artist. 


His  skill  in  design  recommended  him 
to  Messrs.  Harvey  and  Darton,  and  to 
other  publiihera,  who  were  ghid  to  have 
a  design  and  an  engraving  from  the  same 
hand  at  n  cheaper  rate  thnn  they  could 
get  them  when  the  engraver  was  not 
designer  too.  He  executed  in  this  way 
many  anonymous  engravings,  evincing 
skill  in  design  and  dexterity  in  the  nicer 
louche  a  of  his  art.  Hw  name  was  first 
known  beyond  the  Httlc  region  of  his  own 
huBiness  by  some  carefully  engraved  illus- 
trations to  the  Tasso  of  Mr.  Wiffen,  from 
the  designs  of  Henry  Corbould.  He  dc- 
sigtied  as  well  as  engraved  iome  charnc- 
tcristic  designs  for  Whittingham's  edition 
of  Robinson  Crusoe ;  but  some  of  his 
cleverest  works  were  those  he  produced 
for  Hone's  Every  Day  Book,  pfirrimlMrly 
a  aeries  of  the  Months*  Shortly  after,  he 
supplied  the  tllujitratioDS  to  The  Olio  and 
The  Parterre,  two  periodical  poblicatiuns 
which  were  made  veiy  nttraetivc  by  these 
embellishments,  and  which  tn  point  of 
vigour  and  character  may  be  considered  lo 
hnvc  led  the  way  in  the  modern  school  of 
drawing  on  wood.  Mr.  Williams  was  the 
fii^t  to  give  to  periodical  literature  spirited 
and  good  illustrations  from  wood  blocks, 
a  plan  that  is  now  carried  out  to  so  very 
great  an  extent.  In  Mr.  Scrope's  very 
interesting  volumes  ou  Salmon- Fishing  and 
Deer-Stalking  are  several  exquisite  cn- 
graTings  by  Mr.  Williams,  of  whom  the 
author  speaks  in  high  terms  of  praise  in 
his  preface  to  the  third  edition  of  the  latter 
work.  Mr.  Williams  also  engraved  several 
blocks  for  Mr.  Britton,  which  have  served 
to  adorn  the  Cathedral  Antif|uities,  the 
Picturcscpie  Anttfpiitica  of  English  Cities, 
the  Union  of  Architecture^  Sculplure,  and 
Painting  (Mr.  Britloo's  account  of  the 
Soane  Museum),  the  History  and  Anti- 
quities of  Cashiobury,  and  an  edition  of 
Anstey*8  Bath  Guides  as  well  as  the  works 
of  the  Wiltshiie  Topo^^raphical  Society. 

So  much  was  Mr.  W.  engaged  in  design- 
ing and  drawing  upon  wood,  that  for  many 
yearfl  the  pencil  was  much  more  in  his 
hands  than  the  graver.  He  took  particular 
pleasure  in  the  delineation  of  rund  scenery^ 
such  as  may  be  seen  tn  his  edition  of 
Thomaou^s  Seasons,  but  bis  figure  draw- 
ings were  also  not  inferior  to  those  of  any 
of  his  fellow  labourers.  His  industry  was 
equal  to  bis  t clients ;  but  in  consequence 
of  his  numerous  engagements,  he  was  un- 
able to  accomplish, — what  had  been  his 
chief  ambition,  more  than  a  few  paintings 
in  oil-colours. 

His  eldest  son,  Mr.  Joseph  Lionel  Wil- 
liams, has  been  his  able  and  efhcient  assiat- 
ant ;  but  has  now  quitted  this  department 
of  art»  which,  however,  is  still  pursued  by

Dyrtng  the  same  year  he  published 
eight  Chorals  for  Voices  and  Organ.

tttcd  Mus.  Bac.  at  Oxford.    The  exercif 
which  he  made  on  taking  bit  degree  coa-J 
tained  a  atriet  Canon  in  fife  real  parts*! 
On  this  occasion  he  received  an  uu wonted  1 
tcstiuoniaJ,  in  a  letter  from  Dr.  Crotch 1 1 
the  fxamiocr,  complimenting  him  on  thflJ 
merit  of  hi^  performance.    Since  this  eventi 
he  has  published  his  Concert  Fugues  fof  '

Great  Exhibition, to  the  listening  thousAndt  I 
who  tlirongcd  the  aisles  of  the  Pala^  of  1 
Glass.    To   hL^   intense   practice,   during! 
tbii  period  especially,  is  doc  that  extra* •' 
ordinary  power  of  improvisation,  in  whicll  j 
he  seems  scarcely  to  have  been  excelled 
by   any  liTing  performer.     In    1847   be 
composed  his  Six  Songs  (which   canscj  ] 
him  to  he  spoken  of  as  the  **  Poet  Musi* 
cian  **),  and  the  following  year  he  won  1 1 
prize  1^0 r  a  church  nnthem,  against  a  host 
of  competitors.     Renouncing  his  provin- 
cial engagement,   he  declared  himself  %  ' 
candidate  for  the  post  of  organist  at  St, 
Helen's,  Bishopsgate.    In  this  contest  Mr« 
Vincent  Norello  decided  for  ham,  in  oppo- 
sition to  the  rival  claims  of  no  less  thazi 
thirty 'five  candidates.     It   id   worthy  of  j 
remark,  that  throughout  the  contest  ho 
played  entirely  from  memory,  without  the 
aid  of  notr.9.     Aboot  this  time  he  pub- 
lished a  collection  of  pieces  under  tbe  title 
of  Mus  tea  di  Camera,  and  not  long  after- 
wards (at  the  age  of  twenty^four)  took  tha 
degree  of  Doctor  of   Music.     We   next 
meet  with  him  as  the  author  of  a  volume 
of  Church  Anthems,  which  now  form  part 
of  the  sacred   rt'iiertoirc  of  most  of  our 
cathedrals.     In  1850  he  married.     At  a 
rather  later  ^»criod  his  Death  of  Hector 
obtained  the  prize  of  ten  g^ineaSt  offered 
by   tbc   Uuddendeld  Glee  Club  for  the 
best  nerioui  gtoe,  Sir  U.  Bishop  being  the 
adjudicator.

Latelp,  At  Pem,  near  Constantinople, 
Mr.  Willes  Maddox. 

Mr.  Maddox  was  bora  at  Bath,  in  It^lJ. 
In  hu  cArly  life  his  iakut  attracted  Uie 
attention  of  Mr.  Beck  ford,  of  Fo  nth  ill 
Abbey,  for  whom  he  executed  several  pic- 
tures of  a  high  historical  class,  and  in  a 
manner  far  from  unworthy  of  the  subjects. 
The  principal  were  the  Annunciation,  the 
Temptation  on  tbe  Mount,  and  Christ's 
Agony  in  the  Garden.  It  waji  doubtless 
owing  to  his  association  with  Mr.  Beck- 
ford,  the  author  of  the  gorgeous  Oriental 
tale  of  '*  Vathek,'' that  the  aitist  became 
Interested  in  subjects  borrowed  from  Eust- 
cm  life,  which  were  among  his  bcit  pic- 
tures, tiich  04  the  Snnke  Charmers,  ATna 
Fdlek,  the  Light  of  the  Mirror,  ike.  and 
hii  portraits  of  distinguished  Turks — 
Mehemed  Pachas  the  Turkish  Ambassador, 
and  of  Halil  Aga  Risk  Allah,  &c.  It  was 
while  in  Turkey  for  the  pur)>09e  of  paint- 
log  some  portraits  of  the  Sultan,  who  had 
aat  several  times  to  him,  that  a  fever  ter- 
minated his  life  after  a  very  short  illness. 
Tbe  honour  awarded  to  Mr.  Maddox  by 
the  Sultan  was  one  which,  we  believe,  was 
never  before  accorded  to  a  European  artist. 

Among  his  principal  works  not  already 
mentioned,  wo  may  refer  to  his  Beatrice 
Ceoci  scekmg  protection  from  the  Count 
her  Father,  The  Golden  A^c,  The  Conta- 
dini's  lAst  Home,  Naomi,  Ruth,  aud 
Or  pah.  The  portraits  by  Mr.  Maddox 
were  examples  of  truthful  and  vi^oroui 
painting  ;  of  which  those  of  the  Duke  and 
Duchei^s  of  H ami t ton  were  moit  favour- 
able specimens.  Bsth  and  its  vicinity 
possess  many  of  his  best  works.  For  seve- 
ral years  past  be  was  a  constant  exhibitor

of  contractors  and  workmen  of  all  classes, 
followed  his  body  to  tbe  grave ^  and  mani- 
fested their  regard  and  regrets 

At  his  grave  eulogies  were  prooounced 
by  M.  Lebas,  M,  Achille  Leclere,  M. 
Gauthieri  and  our  countryman  Mr.  Do- 
naldson, who  had  long  been  on  terms  of 
intimacy  with  the  departed  artist.  The 
few  words  which  the  latter  addressed  to 
the  assembled  crowd,  in  their  own  lan- 
guage, appear  to  have  gratified  them, 
**  Permit,'^  said  he,  '*  an  English  architect 
to  place  a  leaf  of  laurel  on  the  tomb  of 
his  brother  Academician,  The  architects 
of  Engbnd — the  artists  of  ail  Europe— 
will  learn  with  the  moat  lively  regret  the 
cruel  loss  whicih  the  French  school  has 
suffered.  A  probity  without  reproach,  a 
noble  sincerity,  and  frank  and  honourable 
coDduct,  have  gained  for  M.  Fontaine  the 
esteem  of  several  toverelgna.  Uii  name 
will  ever  be  united  in  tbe  history  of  archi- 
tecture with  that  of  bis  illustrious  col- 
league Percier.  These  two  friends  have 
guided  the  studies  of  the  youth  of  your 
country,  and  have  led  them  to  follow  a 
courae  which  has  produced  for  France 
monuments  of  wbich  you  may  well  be 
proud,  since  all  Europe  admires  them. 
Honour  to  France  t     Honour  to  her  great

not  known  who  was  the  unthor  of  that

the  anecdotes  of  Dr,  John  Trualer,  in  our 
Mogaiin*  for  1820,  it.  p.  121,  were,  it  is 
believed^  written  by  Mr,  John  Nichola,  as 
he  is  the  *' veteran  *'  alhided  to  in  the 
afjreerneni  with  Mr,  Tru^iler  jointly  to  write 
a  tragedy  in  17C7, 

J.  T.  U.  Bays,  "  In  *  xM.  Sorbicre's 
Journey  to  London,*  1698,  it  is  said,  *  The 
equiires  in  London  are  many  and  very^ 
beautiful,  as  St.  Jameses  Sohoe,  Blooma- 
bury,  Red  Lyou,  DevonfehirCji  none  of  the 
largest,  and  Hogsdon,  not  yet  finiihed,' 
Thli  passage  nearly  gives  the  date  of  tbeir 
building.  What  it  Hogidon  Square? 
Further  on  the  writer  aay«,  *  Ulington  la 
as  famous  for  calves  as  Stepney  Is  for 
bunns/  Has  the  memory  of  theie  de- 
scended to  our  times  ?  \Vcet  of  London, 
Chelsea  lian  latterly  had  a  reputation  for 
bunSt  What  is  the  origin  of  *  Hor<«egmird 
Phim -pudding  ?'  Was  it  firot  sold  a*  a 
stall  near  the  (lorMguards,  as  the  nnmc 
would  indicate  r*  Did  '  rarLioment  gin* 
gcrbrcad  '  derive  its  imme  from  a  similar 
cause  ? 

The  Great  Beit  r/  '/Vi«i,--The  late 
Duke  of  Wellington  spent  many  of  his 
early  days  tn  the  town  of  Trim,  tn  the 
county  of  Watcrford,  nod  whca  acarcely 
twenty-one  years  of  age,  was  elected  one 
of  the  members  to  represent  it  in  the  par- 
liament of  Irelttiid.  When  the  news  of 
his  death  rcrtidied  Trim,  the  Very  Rer. 
Dean  Untler  eoui^ed  a  chime  to  be  tolled 
a^  a  mark  of  reapccit  to  the  event.  The 
large  bell,  which  waa  oonstdvred  one  of 
the  finest  and  sweetest  hi  Ireland,  had 
scarcely  aounded  a  second  time,  when  it 
broke,  and  became  mute.  Singular  to  any, 
on  CJiamioing  the  bell,  it  was  found  to  have 
been  coat  by  Edmund  Blood  \u  1769,  the 
very  year  in  which  ebc  Duke  wsa  l^orn. 
It  baa  since  been  reoawt  at  the  factory  of 
Mr*  Hodges,  Abbey^strtMit,  Dublin.^ 
Meath  Herald. 

In  the  memoir  of  Mr.  James  Ainsworth, 
Dec.  p,  CIS,  Lancastuta!*  notices  a  few 
verbal  errors.  "  Clitf  Point"  is  in  Higher 
Broughton  (a.i  the  name  would  imply,  the 
whole  ol  Lower  Broujjhton  being  a  level). 
"  Ptessington''  is  usually  pronounced  and 
spelled  "  Pleasington/"  Again,  *'  Scot- 
land*' should  be  '^apotland,"'  a  suburb  of 
the  town  of  Rochdale  ;  and  it  won  Id  be 
more  accurate  to  describe  '*  Woodgate*' 
in  the  town»bip  of  Ctifton,  Eceles  parish.

John    i;u?*cil    writes    the    following 
CcrunieuC :  **  To  Moore  it  was  unne- 


ceisary  to  address  a  request  to  ^are

to  the  other  party,  asking  him  to  spare 
iIoorc%  what  would  huve  been  the  re- 
sult ?  Probubly,  while  Moore  was  alive, 
and  able  to  wield  hi»  pen,  it  might 
have  ln'^n  succo»»fal ;  liad  Moore  been 
dead,  it  woidd  have  served  only  to 
give  an  additional  zest  to  the  pleanure 
of  lufe  malignity,"  No  one  will  read 
tills  Bcnteiice  without  instantly  reciiilitig 
t^  mind  the  cruel  ruffianism  with  which 
the  deceased  poot  has  been  ai^ailed  by 
the  Quarterly  Review.  We  hare, 
h.i|>f»ily,  never  seen  hatred  nursed  to 
euch  a  fiery  heat  as  in  the  .'favage  article 
in  question.  It  had  l>een  kept  bottled 
up  during  the  poct^s  lifetime,  ready  to 
be  outpoured  over  hiB  goo«l  name  when 
death  should  have  eeulcd  hh  lips  and 
rendered  retort  impossible.  When 
the  Irish  convicts  prepared  their  l>ot- 
tle.s  of  vitriol  they  at  tetuit  intended  to 
lling  them  in  the  ftiees  of  living  men, 
but  thi?  Quarterly  has  kept  its  corro- 
sive sublimate  till  the  bord  was  coffined, 
an<l  then  tearing  away  the  lid  it  scat- 
ters its  poison  upon  the  body,  and 
having  created  hideous  ruin  impu- 
dently asserts  that  beauty  never  there 
existed. 

It  is  lamentable  to  see  how  prejudice 
and  personal  hatred  have  bhnded  the 
(Quarterly  to  the  actual  truth.  Against 
plain  and  palpable  facts,  it  has  elabo* 
rately  endeavoured  to  [x*rsua<lQ  the 
world  that  Moore  was  vain  without 
having  ground  for  some  vanity,  that  he 
was  a  violator  of  truth,  without  honour 
as  a  man,  and  void  of  affection  as  a 
husbind.     Fortunately  the  nrgumente

rou*  iittempt  to  convince  the  utuiirniiig 
widow  of  tUe  biirfi  that  her  husbmura 
M^Ttcni  alllection  iov  her  vms  a  meri? 
«biitn.  It  might  as  well  be  said  that 
Dr,  Cbalm4?ris  who  registers  in  his 
jourtiat  ail  the  iiraise  he  received  for 
his  sermons  »nd  all  the  615  of  passion 
with  which  he  v»jiitc<l  his  wife,  that  he 
was  the  i-hive  of  vanity,  ami  the  tyrant 
ofunewiiom  he  loved  an«l  esteemed. 
lni|»erfectiorjs  of  character  are  not  to 
be  taken  for  deliberate  wickedness. 

What  would  be  the  lot  of  the  veriest 
country  clown  who  should  rudely  go 
to  that  bouse  in  a  village  where  a 
wWidow  sat  alone  in  her  unobtrusive 
'  sorrow,  and,  smashing  in  the  windows, 
make  coarse  assertion  that  she  wa* 
weeping  for  one  who  was  worthless  'f 
why»  such  a  knave  would  he  carried  to 
the  pump,  to  l>e  afterwards  cudgelled 
into  dryness.  But  of  this  atrocious 
outnige  the  Quarterly  has  been  guilty, 
out  of  mere  malice  or  witntonness. 
Whenever  Moore  make^  alTectionatc 
mention  of  home  and  its  dearest t  inhii- 
biumts,  the  Quarterly  Keview  jirofesf^es 
to  know  that  this  was  mere  lying  ;  and 
when  the  diarist  omits  to  speak  in  his 
journal  of  those  nearest  and  dearest 
^'10  bim,  the  omission  itself  is  taken  as 
a  proof  that  he  cared  nothing  for  those 
wnom,  it  is  really  clear,  he  eherished, 
absent  or  present,  in  his  heart  of  hearts. 
How  lierce  nmst  the  jwrsonal  hatred 
hAve  been  that  would  even  smite  the 
wite  rather  than  spare  the  husband 
whom  she  loved. 

No ;  the  (Quarterly  will  have  it  that 
Mo4>re  larked  feeling,  If  sorrow  visited 
him,  he  wa>*  Mjon  after  to  be  found 
among  gay  crowds.  Why  not?^ — and 
what  doe*  it  prove?  Did  Evelyn  lack 
feeling  y  In  a  time  of  public;  conster- 
nation as  well  as  of  private  aflltctioii 
(IH^SlO  Evelyn  went  **  to  see  a  new 
o|rt*ra  after  the  It^ilian  way/*  **^Iy 
heart  smote  me  for  it,"  savs  the  same 
dittrist*  So  with  Moore;  we  meet  him, 
perhaps,  in  u  festive  throng  somewhat 
early  atter  be  has  passed  through  a 
furnace  of  severe  trial,  and  "  bowed 
down  with  remorse "  is  the  accusing 
re«)rd  of  the  man  whom  the  deter* 
mined  hatred  of  his  enemy  assails  as 
lacking  teeling.  In  this  respect  the 
Review  is  like  a  fellow  who  seeing  a 
Iriend  bathing,  anil  detecting  a  mole 
on  his  skin*  immediately  ru-^hes  home 
Aud  proclaims  that  he  is  .1  leper  all 


over-  Strip  the  fellow  who  so  pro- 
cliiims,  and  he  will  probably  l>e  found 
a  very  dirty  fcjllow  indceiL  But  tht: 
Aztecs  deemed  slave-dealing  and  other 
niscalities  honourable,  and  the  Quar* 
terly  Review  would  seem  to  hold  that 
literary  assassination  is  among  the 
noblest  of  callings.  It  treats  character 
as  De  Pedrojsa  taught  his  countrymen 
to  test  emeralds, — by  smashing  them. 

There  is  sojnething  singularly  fiend- 
ish in  the  attempt  made  by  the  deceased 
poet's  assailant  to  shew  that  he  disre- 
garded truth  even  on  solemn  occasions. 
Moore  has  said  that  he  could  not  re- 
collect how  he  spent  a  certain  evening 
many  years  before,  but  he  states  some 
circumstances  which  occurred  therein, 
Tlie  Quarterly  convicts  him  of  nienda- 
cify  alter  the  strangest  of  fashions.  It 
pniduces  a  letter  written  by  Moore  at 
the  remote  period  to  which  Moore'a 
memory  a  score  of  years  afterwards 
wt  ut  but  imf»ertccily  back,  and  by 
shewing  what  he  wrote  in  his  youth, 
t  hinks  that  the  lorgetting  it  in  his  man- 
hood is  evidejiee  of  a  lie.  Why  what 
a  scui'vy  assassin  of  reputation  is  this 
same  Quarterly  ! — blinded  by  its  fero- 
city to  the  absurdity  as  well  as  the 
bicL^ousness  of  its  proceeding. 

There  is  just  such  an  instance  of  for- 
getfulness,  but  loss  natural,  in  Pepys's 
Diary.  On  the  22nd  March,  1665,  he 
says  he  was  at  Sir  William  Petty *s, 
where  he  adds,  "  I  saw  Waller  the  poet, 
whom  I  never  saw  hefttrer  He  is  i\ 
dreadful  liar,  would  be  at  once  the 
assertion  and  argument  of  the  Quar- 
terly. And  why  't  because  less  than  a 
year  before  he  had  made  an  cntrj',  the 
circumstancLS  of  which  be  doubtless 
subse«iuently  forgot.  It  is  to  this  etVect, 
On  the  I2t*b  May,  1064,  he  relates 
having  attended  at  a  conference  be- 
tween the  Lords  and  Commons  in  the 
Painted  Chamber,  and  he  reinirts 
Waller's  witty  sayings  there^  as  heard 
by  him,  on  a  question  of  granting  pri- 
vileges to  the  Lords,  which,  if  altijwed 
by  the  Commons^  would  be^  said  W^al- 
ter,  like  n  man  who  allowed  bis  neigh* 
hour  to  pluck  out  the  hairs  of  his 
mare's  tail  one  by  one !  And  agaiOi 
here  is  another  case  in  ]>oint  in  the 
sixth  volume  of  these  ^lemoirs,  Moore 
says  (July  5,  I829J,  *' Lord  Strang- 
ford  shewed  me  a  note  from  Can- 
ning, which  he  had  lately  found,  and

of  the  (Quarterly  (at  li'a?«t  if  it  were

would  l>e  that  the  Mtatenmun  was  de- 
cith.'dly  Huhiect  to  fits  of  m(>ndiu:ity ; 
and  that  this  was  the  lie  deliberate  1 
We  niiglit  cite  many  other  instances 
from  the  Diary  to  show  that  a  man 
nmy  very  easily  fail  in  his  memory 
without  at  all  nrcessarily  failing  in  his 
truth.  As  for  the  (Quarterly's  Iruitle-. 
insinuation  that,  in  theafliiir  ofliyron's 
paper.*,  Moore  was  not  so  honourable 
of  <lealing  as  he  has  stated  in  his  Oiary, 
the  insinuation  is  really  beneath  notice; ; 
but  it  is  as  nastily  meant  as  the  blus- 
tering assur.'inciH  of  respcet  for  Mrs. 
Moore,  (piaiified  by  a  sort  of  starelied 
horror,  worthy  of  Miss  MaeTnb,  that 
the  lady  in  ipustion  was  once  eonnected 
with  the  drama!  In  similar  liiiirit  iM

profession  with  a  registrarship  in  Ber- 
muda. Hut  Wonlsworth's  ]>oems  jire 
nothing  the  worse  fi>r  the  writer's 
having  l)eeii  a  distributor  of  stamps. 
Still,  fne<rs  the  (iuarlerly,  Moon^ 
wrote  a  poor  ojK^ratie  play.  Well  I 
that  was  more  to  his  <Tedit  than  if  he 
had  united  with  two  other  great  wits, 
ns  I'ope  did  with  (Jay  and  Arbntlinot, 
to  write  surh  a  "Ix^nstly"  farce  hh 
"Three  Hours  after  Marriagi*,"  for 
laughing  at  which,  too,  j'ope  took  such 
lasting  vengeaniM'  upon  ('iblicr.  At 
all  ev(;nts,  says  the  (Quarterly,  deter- 
niine<l  to  get  a  convietion  Jbr  i>etty 
lareeny,  if  it  cannot  for  murder,  Moore 
wrote  loose  rhymes.  He  did,  and  was 
Horry  for  it.  I  Jut  J*o|)e,  who  wrote  the 
Universal  IVaycr,  was  guilty  of  the 
lie  to  Jane  Shore ;  and  Waller 


u«ifie<l  dirty  passions  before  he  cele- 
brated Divine  Love,  llie  otfenccs  of 
JMoore  were  more  refined  in  style,  and 
were  more  nobly  cominmsated  for.  lie 
WU8  a  pensioner !  roars  the  Quarterly. 
Ro  was  Hen  Jonson,  and  with  less 
desert,  as  well  as  less  eontt^nlment, 
->re  never,  like  Jonson,  deafen(Ml 
I  ears  for  an  increase  in  his 


e  Quarterly  sneers  at  Moore 
Mtirist  writing  fur  pay,  it 


does  not  so  much  remind  us  of  the  ass 
kicking  the  dead  lion,  whose  roar  it  no 
longer  fears,  as  the  envenomed  hornet 
piercing  the  brea.«*t  of  the  now  mute 
nightingale,  and  exulting  in  the  death 
and  silcnr!e  of  the  min.^trel.     As  for 
being  a  satirist,  it  is  well  indeed  for  his 
lualigiiaiiL  enemy  that  he  who  wielded 
the  light  but  cutting  shafts  of  satire 
can  no  longer  smite  those  whom  his 
death  ah>ne  ha»  made  bravely  elo([uent 
in  evil  speaking.    As  Dry  den  remarks, 
"  A   jK>ct,   indeed,   muM  live    by   the 
many"  (anrl  therefore  Moore  wrote  his 
lighter  piece?)  ;  "but  a  CTeat  poet  will 
make  it  his  business  to  jHease  only  the 
few."     Such  was  the  bard's  aim  in  the 
creation  of  his  greater  works;  and  how 
his  suec4>ss  even  surpassed  that  aim  is 
too  well  known   to  need   description 
here.     The  faint  praise  with  whicu  the 
Quarterly  candies  its  calumny  is  only 
adding  insult  to  injury.     It  reminds 
us  of  the  assjL>.«'in  PizarroM,  who,  when- 
ever they  murdered  a  frieml,  always 
attended  his  funeral  with  double  show 
of  mourning.     So  the  (Quarterly  slays 
Moore's  reputation,  and  aflects  to  be- 
wail its  own  art.    It  treats  him  as  poet 
even  more  unfairly  than  as  man;  as 
though  what  he  had  built  in  graceful 
rhyme  was  not  in  itself  perfect,  but 
rather   like   those    I'eruvian    temples 
whose  walls  indeed  were  of  solid  gold, 
but  carrying  a  roof  made  of  the  dirtiest 
tliatch.     As  man  and  as  poet  the  de- 
ceased bard  merittnl  far  dilferent  treat- 
ment  than    the   savage    and    fiendish 
brutality  which  he  has  met  with  in  the 
pages  of  the  (Quarterly.     In  chivalrous 
days  a  living  knight  wouhl  have  cour- 
teously snoken  an  eulogium  over  the 
bier  of  the  once  liercest  of  his  adver- 
saries; but  the  days   of  chivalry  are 
past,  and  the  (Quarterly,  tearing  from 
Its  cerements  the  body  of  the  lifeless 
poet^  fastens  upon  it  with  the  unclean 
ecstacy  of  an  Egyptian  cmbalmer,  and 
visits  with  i>ollution  that  which  should 
have  secured  at  least  respect. 

Hut  let  us  turn  again  to  the  volumes 
before  us.  They  give  the  almost  daily 
life  of  the  bar«l  during  a  period  marked 
by  the  production  of  some  4>f  the  best 
of  his  prose  writings,  and  some  of  the 
cleverest  of  his  satires.  Of  the  persons 
whom    he    encountered    during    that 

{)crioil,  or  with  whom  he  associated, 
le  gives  slight  but  admirable  outline 
sketches,  sometimes,  indeed,  depicting

government  offered  to  tnuisfcr  ibe  old

but  the  |»ot*t,  if  cooinarH lively  poor,

a  I  tg  words  were  as  a  crown

b:  -  .  ,  ,  ...it  you  have  from  the  first  to 
the  lost  done  your  duty — and  far  more, 
indeed,  than  your  duty— by  me  and 
all  connected  wtlli  you.  1  can  say  so 
from  my  heart." 

Bat  the  great  affliction  of  thefle 
veflr^  f^f  Moore'5  life  was  the  death  of 
l<  -  "\:\^ — the  rose  in  the 

ci  'Hie  Inevitable 

Angel  liud  iou;^  t>eon  hovering  over 
thia  fair  child  before  »he  was  finally 
sammone<l  away.  The  poet  records  a 
iri«it  made  to  her  at  school,  when  he  saw 
her  crowned  witli  a  wreath  of  honour, 
and  aa  full  of  smiles,  he  sadly  ,^ay8,  aB 
though  earth  contained  not  a  tomb. 
ThcT  who  may  com  pare  P^velyn's  record 
of  the  decease  of  bin  marvellous  boy, 
ilaiu  by  too  much  knowledge,  with  that 
made  by  Moore  of  the  death  of  this 
fweet  girl,  will  see  how  the  same  pa- 
rental amrui!»h  may  be  ♦bversely  illus- 
trat4?d.  fivelyn,  at  the  death-bed  of 
hif  Iff  tie  '^yo^  could  discourse  with  the 
on  iremenclouM  myvsteries 
man*«  cc »m  prehenmon  can- 
-r ;  but  the  iiilant  sufferer, 
had  his  death  accelerated 
Uie  careleesnest4  of  sei^vantji  to 
w  ho!je  care  he  was  confided,  or  to  whose 


neglect  he  was  riiked.  The  path  of 
An  astasia,  on  the  other  hand,  was 
covered  with  tlowers,  and  the  feigned 
Hrailejj  of  the  parents  were  designed  to 
convey  the  hope  which  did  not  reside 
in  their  own  hearts.  There  is  some- 
thing inexpressibly  touching  in  the 
simple  narrative  of  ihi*  agonismg  saene, 
— a  scene  wherein,  as  is  indeed  usmdly 
the  ca^e,  the  neeesstiry  heroism  was 
auiit^ined  solely  by  the  mother,  lljc 
aspect  of  death  in  a  beloved  child  oJlen 

faraiyses  a  father's  |>ower  of  action. 
le  can  weep,  and  only  weep ;  but  it 
15  the  million  of  woman  not  only  to 
mourn,  but  to  act :  to  proviiic  a  triple 
consolation,— comfort  tor  the  depart- 
ing, solace  for  her  co*survivor?,  and 
balm,  if  she  have  time  for  It,  for  her 
own  poor  heart.  Moore  does  ample 
justiee  to  his  incomptcrablc  wife  in  thia 
respect.  Her  sorrows,  to  judge  from 
the  pages  of  the  diary,  never  made  her 
selfish :  but  true  women  are  ever  most 
true  in  calninity.  It  \»  generally  the 
sciwoii  when  nmn  cea.'^es  to  be  a  hero, 
and  Moore  was  not  so  in  presence  of 
this  crowning  sorrow  of  his  bfe  ;  and 
yet  he  might  have  found  consolation. 
Years  before  he  had  stood  for  a  mo- 
ment beside  the  couch  of  hh  sleeping 
child,  and,  ns  he  gazed  upon  her,  had 
prayed  Heaven  lo  keep  her  pure  and 
innocent.  Heaven  heard  his  prayer, 
and,  but  for  that  [>f>or,  rebel  human 
nature  that  will  shrink  at  such  visita- 
tiona,  and  will  not  comprehend  them, 
Moore  might  have  gratefully  rcsigneil 
to  God  the  cbiM  that  was  as  pure  and 
stainless*  as  the  ynowdrops  which  the 
poor  mother  placed  on  the  bosom  of 
the  unconscious  Anasrtasia. 

At^er  the  death  which  robbed  Moore 
of  the  last  of  bin  diiugliters,  the  pages 
of  his  diary — as  the  record  of  an  active 
life  must  do — often  indeed  register  in* 
ci dents  of  gaiety,  bot  it  is  clear  that 
the  blow  wai  felt  by  him  as  irrecover- 
able. Ue  fears  to  open  his  journal| 
lest  his  eye  should  fall  on  the  page  that 
holds  the  sad  entry  of  her  death.  He 
visits  the  tomb,  but  with  power  to  take 
but  a  hasty  glance.  Tearn  well  up 
into  big  eyes,  and  sol>s  choke  hh  utter- 
ance, in  gay  saloons  where  all  else  is 
unbroken  testivity.  **  When  shall  I 
sing  again?"  is  the  aflecting  ♦juestion 
written  down  by  him  long  atter  the 
blow  had  fallen  which  bad  made  him 
aileat  to  song;  and  when,  on  occasion

ing an  evidence  of  a  buDian  heart 
he&lthtljr  beating : — 

Fear  that  poor  Scott's  share  in  the  rum 
of  CoDftUbte*!  houw  ifl  even  £^reat«r  than 
I  bad  aupposed  Few  tbingi  have  •ffedcd 
me  more  than  thii.  I  almoct  regret  in- 
deed bavbi^  becQ  brought  »o  cFote  to 
Scott,  as  otherwise  1  might  have  been 
aaved  the  deep  and  painful  sympathy  I 
now  feel  for  bis  misfortune.  For  poor 
drvili  like  me  (who  have  never  known 
better)  to  fag  and  to  be  pinched  for  mams, 
becotnefl,  a^  it  were»  a  second  nature  ;  but 
for  Scott,  whom  1  saw  living  in  «uch 
luxmioiui  comfort,  and  dijipeasint;  such 
cofdiat  hospitality,  to  be  thus  suddenly 
Mdneed  to  the  necesatty  of  working  his 
way.  ta  too  b^id,  and  I  grieve  for  him  from 
my  heart. 

The^  volumes  contain  many  addi- 
tional traits  of  Afoore*d  method,  or 
manner  rather,  of  com|)oaition<  lie 
complains  that  his  **  Lord  Edward 
Fitxgerald  lingers  lung  on  band,  like 
everything  I  do  T  and  he  proceeds  to 
ftbow  wherefore,  attribuiing  it  to  the 
slowneaa  of  his  execution.  **  1  see 
rapidly,"  he  savs,  '^  how  the  thing  ought 
to  be,  and  wiuhe\  but  to  tuuke  it  ^ 
i«  the  difficulty."  On  Jinother  occajsion 
we  &nd  him  curio ui^ly  engaged  while 
trftvelting  in  the  Marlborough  coach 
lip  to  town*  Ue  was  *"  alone  all  the 
way,  and  having  a  volume  of  Motfheiiti 
to  get  through,  made  the  most  of  my 
timei  deepatchcd  the  four  hundred  and 
odd  pages  on  the  way,  besides  writing 
sixteen  lines  of  a  love  song  for  Power." 
The  mind  that  could  readily  turn^  alter 
the  oppression  of  Moshelm,  to  make 
Cupiifs  lyre  discourse  such  muaic  as 
only  Moore  could  strike  from  it,  mu:jt 
have  been,  what  it  really  was,  a  mind 
of  rare  power.  What  would  have  ex- 
hausted others,  only  rendered  him 
braced  for  tlie  lighter  tasks  he  loved. 
He  could  wield  a  club  like  Hercules, 
and  lay  it  down  to  woo  the  Hebes  of 
hii  brain,  appearitig  at  either  occupa* 
tion  OS  if  he  had  been  designed  C8pe- 
ciaily  for  that  uud  no  other.  He  hud 
more  pairrstic  knowledge  than  half  the 
Popes,  and  wore  with  dig!iity  the  sage's 
gown;  but  beneulh  the  hitler  were 
ever  borne  the  jewclk'<l  sanduk  and 
GnKT.  Mjlq.  Vol-.  XLL 


the  tpangled  robe  of  his  gayer  vocation, 
and  he  had  but  to  choose  hi»  part  in 
order  to  win  laurels  from  the  learned 
and  smilea  from  the  loving. 

Here,  too,  is  a  picturei^uue  anecdote, 
which  we  insert  because  it  has  refer- 
ence to  this  matter  of  "composition," 
of  which  we  have  desired  to  aay  a  word 
or  two. 

Called  upon  Mrs.  Norton  (April  1832)  ; 
found  her  prf paring  to  go  to  Haytcr'i, 
who  ia  painting  a  picture  of  her,  aud 
offered  to  walk  with  ber.  Had  accordingly 
a  very  brisk  and  agreeable  walk  across  the 
two  piLrks,  and  took  her  in  the  highest 
bloom  of  beauty  to  Hayter,  who  said  he 
wtiihfd  thnt  some  one  would  always  put 
hf  r  through  this  process  before  she  sat  to 
him.  Hnppening  to  meotion  that  almost 
everything  1  wrote  was  composed  in  my 
garden  or  the  fields,  **  Que  would  gueta 
that  of  your  poetry/'  said  Mri*  Norton, 
**  it  quite  tmeUt  of  them." 

We  have  no  doubt  that  the  erotic 
lines  pencilled  in  the  Marlborough 
coach  on  a  fly-leaf  of  Moaheim,  were 
as  redolent  of  the  garden,  as  though 
they  had  fallen  coined  from  the  bram 
beneath  a  clematis  when  its  rich  odour 
wafi  at  its  very  richest.  He  who  amid 
Derbyshire  snows  could  so  wflrwily 
paint  the  summer  in  the  Vale  of  Cush- 
mere,  could  not  have  found  any  dilli- 
culty  in  giving  to  his  "  lay"  in  a  stiige 
coach  as  fresh  an  air  as  though  it  hail 
been  born  on  the  Ijordera  of  HtjUcon, 
amid  a  circle  of  the  ^liuses  recumbent 
on  the  grass. 

But  here  we  must  temporarily  pause, 
until  the  two  remaining  volumes  of 
this  interesting  series  be  given  to  the 
public.  Where  the  present  leaves  the 
poet,  it  is  Btill  as  a  happy  husband,  and 
a  happy  father  of  two  promising  boys. 
His  neart  is  still  young  in  the  wannth 
of  its  affection  for  the  mother  whom 
he  confesses  to  be  dearer  to  him  than 
even  those  dear  ones  whom  God  lent 
but  for  a  time,  too  soon  to  resume  the 
gitl.  Ue  is  soiuething  perhaps  sobered 
by  the  trials  through  which  he  has 
passed,  and  the  disaj»[ioiutments  which 
have  ene limbered  his  path  ;  but  if  hia 
hopes  be  of  a  less  ro^y  Ime  thati  they 
were  wont  to  be  of  yore,  the  memories 
of  the  past  make  compensation,  and 
for  the  bliss  enjoyed  he  is  profoundly 
grateful;  too  wise  to  expect  too  mucb, 
and|  a^  it  seems  to  us,  prophetic  in  hiif 
feam  of  visitations  and  chastenings  yet

THE  LADY  ELIZABETH  A  PRISONER  AT  WOODSTOCK, 
{Can  tinned  from  )k  10.) 


TX  the  former  part  of  this  paper  we 
lefl  tlie  laidy  Elizab<?th  a  close  pri- 
Boner  nt  Wo<jilstoi  k,  and  Qtieon  ^inry 
on  her  bridal  journey  to  meet  IV i nee 
Philip,  her  though  Is  naturally  intent 
ijrpon  her  own  future  prospects.  The 
Council  also  wnn  fully  occy[)ied  in 
conducting  the  arrangements  required 
upon  BO  great  jm  event,  and  in  roprcsa- 
mg  the  many  indications  of  its  tin- 
Kjpubirity;  for  the  advent  of  the 
^|>(«dard  was  coiitetnphited  with  dis- 
trust and  dread  by  all  classes  of 
Englishmen,  and  excited  their  repug- 
nance more  deeply  than  anything  thiit 
bad  occurred  since  the  di^tfolutioQ  of 
reli^jjous  houses, 

Louder  these  circumstances  there 
waa  no  little  danger  of  the  cause  of 
the  Lady  Elizabeth  being  neglected, 
and  her  present  condition  disregiirded, 
She  wai*  not,  however,  of  a  di»i>osition 
to  submit  tamely  to  the  state  of  »  for- 
gotten and  pa.-^sive  prisctner.  Though 
debarred  from  per^^unally  adtiressing 
the  Ciueen  without  previous  |>onniji- 
sioOt  *he  had  perse veiingly  urged  her 
auit  to  do  so ;  and  at  length,  in  a  post- 
flcript  to  the  letters  of  the  Council 
diiteii  froto  Uiehmond  on  the  KUh  of 
June,  1554,  Sir  Henry  Beilingfield  waa 
informed  that** The  (^ueen^s  nnije«ty 
is  pleaded  that  the  Lady  Elizabeth's 
grace  may  write  to  her  highness  ac- 
cording to  her  desire.*^ 

Elizabeth  now,  we  may  be  Bure, 
exerted  her  utnu»st  powers  to  vindicate 
her  loyalty.  The  letter  ehe  wrote  h 
not  extant — or,  if  it  be,  it  has  still  to 
be  discovered ;  it  may  probably  have 
been  more  elaborate*  but  surely  not 
more  positive  or  energetic,  than  that 


which  was  hastily  written  at  White-^ 
hall,  when  the  lords  were  waiting 
hurry  her  to  the  Tower.  We  only 
know,  from  the  reeejHinn  which  thfl 
letter  received,  that  it  was  regarded  af 
representing  hoth  her  paat  actionB  and 
her  prec^ent  sentiments  in  a  (also  atid 
dlHM'iiifit'd  aspect. 

The  answer  was  not  written  by  the 
Queen  herself;  but  by  one  of  the 
Council,  very  probably  by  (lardiner. 
Nor  was  It  ad'lrcsj*ed  to  the  Latly 
Elizabeth  personally.  It  came  In  the 
form  of  a  letter  under  the  (Queen's 
signet  and  sign- manual,  directed  to  Sir 
Ilenrv  BedingfielJ,  and  its  terms  urere 
ns  follow  :

This  cpistte,  it  cannot  be  disputed, 
WAS  anvibiri^  but  kind  or  5»«»1erly. 
Though  evidently  not  dictated  bj 
Mary's  own  pen,  it  plainly  stutes  the 
impression  she  entertained  of  Eliza- 
Uelirs  insinecrity  and  duplicity,  and  a 
c^mvictifin  that  her  meaning  and  pur- 
pose w(w  still  far  different  from  her 
professions.  Moreover  it  cruelly  de- 
clare* to  the  disgraced  princess  that 
"it  was  the  Queen*s  pleasure  not  to  be 
nmleAted  any  more  with  such  her  djs- 
guife  and  colourable  letters*"  Whilst 
we  cannot  but  wish  that  ElizaLtith's 
letter  bad  been  preserved  for  our  |>er- 
usal,  it  would  have  been  some  satis- 
faction only  to  know  that  Mary  bad 
answered  her  with  bar  own  hand,  in 


terras  of  natural  atrection  and  of 
sisterly  renionfitrance,  even  if  she  could 
not  entirely  relinquish  ull  her  mis- 
trust. 

The  writer  of  the  Queen's  letter, 
however,  —  be  be  (Jardiner  or  any 
other  of  the  Council, — unLlcrtukea  to 
justify  the  Lady  Elizabeth's  trciduient 
by  repeating  the  grounds  of  suspicion 
upon  which  it  had  been  founded,  and 
wnich  he  nsserts  were  still  unrenioved. 
It  is  in  this  respect  that  this  letter  is 
the  most  iai porta nt  of  any  in  Sir 
Henry  Bedingfield's  book:  for  wbil^ 
the  charges  amount  to  leas  than  we 
find  them  in  other  places,  we  can 
trace  them  aa  being  the  whole  that  the 
Council  were  really  able  to  supfjort. 
It  hnd  been  said  thiit  Elizabeth  had 
written  to  the  French  kinpf,  and  she 
seems  herself  to  have  understood  that 
such  a  charge  was  brought  a;Ljainsther;* 
but  in  this  document  we  find  the  dis- 
covery reduced  to  this — that  copies  of 
her  secret  letters  to  ihe  Queen  had 
been  found  in  the  pacquet  of  the 
French  ambassador.  The  *'Ambas- 
sades"  inform  us  when  this  bnppeneil, 
— for  it  happened  but  once, — m  the 
following  piiiiaage  of  the  despatch  of 
"M.  cJe  Noailles  au  Roy,  23  et  26 
Janvier,  1553:'*

Now,  this  passage  seems  to  show 
that  de  Noailles  had  obtained  the  letter 
from  the  despatches  of  the  Imperial 
ambassador*  If  so,  it  was  of  course 
by  treachery,  ft)r  they  were  the  bit* 
tere-t  foes;  and  oon.sequcnlly  it  had 
not  been  betrayed  by  Eli;£abetbberaelt| 
nor  with  her  concurrence. 

Gardiner,  in  hia  turn,  gained  the 
information  by  stopping  the  French 
umbassador*s  pacquet,  as  he  relates  in 
a  letter  f  to  Sir  AVilliara  Felre,  dated 
the  27th  January  :

To  procee^l  with  the  WooOslock

of  iIuiiCj  and  in  the  courMeof  two  ihijs

into  the  hands  of  Sir  Henry  Beib  air-

it  bore,  he  say^^  the  appearance  of

lie  seems  to  have  «U!4[>ccted  thsit  tliis

K^JsalKiili's  eolTerer,  who^  sorely  against 
Iledin^fiehra  will,  wai«,  with  others  of 
her  friend.*,  ludging  in  tfie  Bell  inn  at 
Woodst^K'k.  Ifso,  Elizabeth  may  have 
heard  the  eflect  of  the  Queen's  and 
Conncirs  leUem  some  (lays  before 
Bedinrrfieh!  delivered  the  in  to  her,  and 
t!ierefore  nmy  hnve  been  the  better 
able  to  restrain  her  euriosity.  On 
(he  other  hand,  the  worthy  knight, 
either  from  private  instructions  or  at 
hi*j  own  MU^<TL*stion,  determined  not  to 
impart  the  content:?  of  the  despatch 
until    they    were    demanded    by    lu» 

I>ri*Miner»  Meanwhih',  he  prepared 
tiniself  for  the  occaKjon  by  drawtng 
out  a  "report"  of  the  Queen's  letter, 
putting  the  original  very  carefully 
away. 

Whatever  was  the  cause  of  this  in- 
tervaU  whether  a  politic  delay  on  the 
part  of  the  cautious  knight,  or  a  niood- 
ish  temper  on  that  of  the  mortified 
princess,  or  the  little  circumstance  that 
Bbe  liad  been  already  informed  through 
Parry,  so  it  was  that  the  commuinea- 
tion  %vaH  n(jt  made  until  the  3d  ot  July, 
On  the  morning  of  that  day  Sir  Henry 
Bfidingfield  had  attended  the  perform- 
ance o^  mass  in  her  Grace's  cb amber ; 
and,  on  its  conclusion,  whilst  he  was 
"doing  his  duty"  in  order  to  depart, 
her  Grace  called  him  tind  a**ked  whether 
he  had  heard  of  any  answer  that  was 
or  should  be  made  by  the  Queen's 
Majesty  t<i  her  late  letters.  He  re- 
plied, that  he  had  to  dec  hire  unto  her 
an    answer    on    the    Queen's    behalf 


whenever  she  pleaded  to  command  hii 
**  Let  it  be  even  now,'*  said  her  Grace. 
But  Bedin^fiehl  was  afraid  to  trust 
himself  wiflnmt  reeourge  to  the  rcfiort 
which  he  had  prepareil,  and  he  there- 
fore craved  leave  to  letch  it.  Thia 
deferred  tl*e  cmnmuniration  until  after 
dinner;  when,  taking  the  further  pre- 
caution to  have  Mr.  'iliomeo  in  his 
company,  he  attended  to  make  it. 
Qlmerving  the  fi>rmalily  due  to  her 
royal  presence^  Bedin;;tleid  read  the 
paper  Kneeling,  with  Thomeo  in  the 
same  attitude  by  his  side.  After  once 
hearing  it  tlie  Lady  Kliz.abeth  uttered 
certain  words  bewailing  her  misforlune 
that  her  letter,  contrary  to  her  expecta- 
tions, had  taken  no  b**tter  eflect ;  and 
then  desired  to  hear  the  answer  again* 
This  ilone,  her  Grace  said,  **  I  note 
eB|Kicially,  to  my  great  discomfort, 
(which  1  shall  nevertheless  willingly 
obey,)  that  the  Qneeii's  Majesty  ia  not 
pleased  that  I  should  moleet  her  High- 
ness with  any  more  of  my  colourable 
1  e tters ;  w h i en ,  al 1 1 »o ug h  t h ey  1  >e  termed 
colourable,  yet,  not  ofiending  the 
Qneen*a  Majesty,  1  must  say  for  my- 
self that  it  was  the  plain  truth,  even 
as  1  ilesire  to  be  saved  before  God 
Almighty;  and  so  let  it  pass.  Yet, 
Mr.  liedingfield,  tf  you  think  you  may 
do  so  much  for  me,  I  would  have  you 
to  receive  an  answer  which  [  would 
make  unto  you  concern in^  your  mes- 
sage, which  I  would  at  the  least  way 
that  my  Lords  of  the  Council  might 
understand  ;  and  that  you  would  con- 
ceive it  upon  my  words,  and  put  it  in 
writing  and  let  me  hear  it  agarn  \  and 
if  it  be  accoi^ing  to  my  meaning,  bo 
to  pa^8  it  to  my  Lordi;  for  my  better 
comjort  in  this  mine  a<lversity/'  To 
thin  liedingfield  answered,  "  I  pray  you 
hold  ujc  excused,  that  1  do  not  grant 
your  request  in  the  same,"  Then  she 
said,  **  It  is  like  that  I  shall  be  offered* 
more  lliau  ever  any  prisoner  wiui  m 
the  Tower;  for  the  jiri!*oners  be  suf- 
fered to  .open  their  mind  to  the  Lieu- 
tenant, and  he  to  declare  the  same  to 
the  Council ;  and  you  refuse  to  do  the 
like/*  Sir  Henry  made  some  excuse 
about  there  being  "  a  diversity  "  in  the 
two  cases ;  and  so  departed. 

The  next  morning,  however,  when 
walking  in  the  Little  Garden,  the  Lady 
Elizabeih    renewed    her   attack,   and

125 


riiiid,  **  I  remember  jcsterilay  yc  re- 
fused utterly  to  write  on  my  behalf 
unto  my  Lords  of  the  Council ;  and 
therefore  if  you  continue  m  that  inind 
still,  I  shall  li«  in  wttrse  ca^  than  the 
worst  prisoner  in  Newojate ;  for  they 
be  never  gjiinsnyed,  in  the  time  of  their 
imprison  men  t»  Liy  one  friend  or  other 
to  have  their  cause  opened  and  sued 
for;  and  ihh  19  and  shall  be  a  conelu- 
•jon  unto  me  that  I  must  needs  coti- 
imue  this  life  without  hope  worldly, 
wholly  restingj  to  ibe  truth  of  my  cause, 
nnd  that  before  GwJ  to  be  opened, 
arming^  myself  against  what  so  ever 
«hall  happen,  to  remain  the  Queen's 
true  subject  aa  I  have  done  during  my 
life.  It  waxelh  wet,  and  therefore  I 
will  depart  to  my  lodigiog  again  j "  and 
so  she  did. 

In  these  terms  Sir  Henry,  though 
be  carefully  renounced  the  idea  of  un- 
dertaking any  part  of  the  message  or 
iuit  which  the  Lady  Elizabeth  required 
of  him,  yet  made  a  faithful  report  to 
the  Council  of  her  sentrmenta  ami 
wishes.  The  result  was  that,  by  letter 
dated  ftt  Farnham  on  the  7lh  July, 
the  Lords  communicated  the  Queen's 
pleai^ure  that  he  might  write  such  things 
as  the  Lady  Elizabeth  should  desire 
him,  and  send  his  letters  touching  that 
matter  inclosed  in  some  paper  directed 
to  her  Highness,  so  as  she  might  herself 
have  the  first  sight  thereof.  This  ap- 
peared like  the  beginning  of  a  kindlier 
leeling  on  the  part  of  Mary.  Upon 
receipt  of  the  mtimation,  Sir  Henry 
communicated  it  to  Elizabeth,  but  she 
did  nut  immediately  avail  herself  of  it. 
She  was  perhaps  too  deeply  mortified 
by  her  late  ill- success  to  think  that  she 
could  immediately  make  a  more  effec- 
tive Qp|>eal,  or  she  might  well  imagine 
that  her  ijLjter's  mind  was  fully  occupied 

^ith  the  object  of  her  journey^  and 
herefore  might  chm^se  to  deter  any 
ar titer  application  until  that  important 
Udine}»s  had  been  concluded. 
At  length,  on  the  cOih  July  (when 
she  bad  of  course  heard  the  details  of 
the  royal  marriage  at  Winchester  on 
the  25  th),  she  again  took  courage^  and 
retjuired  Bedingfield  to  convey  ^'  a 
suit  '*  to  the  Queen's  Miijesty.  It  was 
expressed  in  the  following  terms, — 
that,  upon  very  pity,  considering  her 
long  imprisionment  and  restraint  of 
lib<.*rty,  the  Queen  would  be  pleased 
Hther  to  charge  !ier  with  special  aiatter 


to  be  answered  unto  and  tried,  or  to 
grant  her  liberty  to  come  unto  her 
Highness'  presence ;  which,  she  affirmed, 
she  would  not  desire  were  It  not  that 
she  knew  herself  to  be  dear,  even 
before  God,  for  her  allegiance.  She 
entreated  tliat  such  of  the  Lords  of 
the  Council  as  were  executors  of  her 
father's  will  should  further  this  her 
suit.  And  if  neither  of  the  two  pro- 
positions so  solicited  should  be  granted^ 
then  she  elcsired  that  some  of  the  Lords 
of  the  Council  should  have  leave  to 
repair  to  her,  and  to  receive  her  suits 
from  her  own  mouth  ;  **  whereby  she 
may  take  a  release  not  to  think  herself 
utterly  desolate  of  all  refuge  in  this 
world.'* 

On  the  7th  of  August  the  Lord 
Chancellor,  the  Bishop  of  Ely,  and  Mr. 
Secretary  Bourne,  replied  from  Wi  ndsor 
that  the  Queen  bad  seen  Bedingfiehrs 
last  letters,  but  her  Highness  would 
take  time  to  consider,  and  make  the 
necessary  answer  at  convenient  leisure. 

On  the  IDth  the  Lady  Elizabeth,  m 
her  usual  garden  walk,  again  opened 
her  lamentations  to  Bedingfield.  *♦  I 
have  very  slow  speed,"  she  said,  **  In 
the  answer  of  any  of  my  suits,  and  I 
know  it  is  ever  so,  when  that  there  is 
not  one  appointed  to  give  daily  attend- 
ance in  suit-making  for  answer ;  and 
therefore  I  pray  you  let  me  s^mX  a 
servant  of  mine  own,  to  whom  I  will 
do  the  message  in  your  hearing  that 
he  shall  do  by  my  commandment ;  and 
this  I  think  is  not  against  the  order 
and  service  appointed  unto  you."  Be* 
dingtield,  on  this  appeal,  again  made 
her  a  peremptory  refusal,  "  retjuiring 
her  Grace  to  be  contented,  tor  I  neither 
could  nor  would  asj*cnt  to  any  such 
her  request."  "  Then  (said  she)  I  am 
at  a  marvellous  aflerdeal,  for  I  have 
known  that  the  wife  hath  been  received 
to  sue  for  her  hustmnd^  the  kinsman, 
friend,  or  servant  for  them  that  bath 
been  in  the  caae  I  now  am,  and  never 
denied*'*  To  this  BedinglicM  answered, 
**  I  myself  am  of  small  experience  in 
such  case.  That  notwithst^inding,  I 
trust  it  shall  not  be  long  before  my 
Lords  of  the  Council  will  remember 
your  suit,  and  auawer  the  lame."  And 
so  her  Grace  ended. 

Btrdingtield,  whdst  he  faithfully  re- 
ported the  princess's  eomplainlH,  must 
nave  been  perfectly  conscioud  how 
completely  be  was  oue  of  the  partltsd

The  Litdif  Elizaheih  a  Priftoner  at  Woodniock*         [Feb- 


of  whom  she  hsul  iitost  reason  to  eoin- 

rAnm.  It  was  eeriuinly  in  no  pily  to 
ler  tliiit  he  inatJe  this  hist  communica- 
tion, ft»r  it  was  not  until  Wednesduj 
tljo  U'fth  that  he  reportcil  these  speeches 
of  Fpidny  the  lOtb;  nor  wji5  it  until 
the  Nth  Sept,  tlmt  he  reported  the 
following  iticidont,  which  occurred  on 
the  26th  of  Auj^uat.  On  t!uit  d,ky\ 
wh«'n  after  confessions  in  due  Cutholic 
forjn,  the  Lady  Elizabeth  received  the 
most  convfortftblc  sacrament,  before  ber 
(ir-ice  went  to  the  rceuipt  thereof,  she 
c^llcti  iniiitressThoineoandl  Bedingfiehl, 
and  when  tbey  knelt  before  her  to 
Jenrn  what  she  wisJied  to  say,  she 
opened  her  mind  by  iheBC  words,  pro- 
tecting that  her  Grace,  "in  all  her  b(e, 
bad  dt>ne  nothing,  nor  intended  to  *lo| 
that  Wft5  perilous  to  the  person  of  the 
Qttecn*fl  Highncsti  or  the  Common- 
weiilth  of  the  Realm,  its  God,  to  wtiose 
mercy  she  then  nihide<l  to  commit 
herself,  was  judge."  Having  said  tbb, 
she  received  the  sacrament. 

At  dlveri^e  times  since,  the  princess 
had  made  further  attempts  to  persuade 
Bedingfield  to  forward  fre^h  sobcita- 
tions,  and  said  she  was  sure  their  Lord- 
sbtps  would  smile  bi  tbeir  sleeves  at 
hii*  excessive  scrupulousnchs ;  but  he 
told  her  in  reply  that  he  bad  rather 
adventure  to  bear  their  displcixaure  for 
that  than  for  presumption. 

The  Councd's  next  tett<;r  contains  a 
charactcr'stic  trait  of  the  Queen^s  reli- 
gious Jervour.  In  regard  to  wliat  bad 
occurretl  on  the  *2Glh  of  August,  nhe 
expressed  hcryell'**  very  gbid  that  the 
Lady  Elizabeth  dotb  so  well  conform 
herself  in  the  receiving  of  the  most 
blessed  nucrament  of  the  altar."  She 
also  consented  that  Elizabeth  might 
write  to  her  by  one  of  her  own  ser- 
vant*, if  the  letters  sent  were  inclosed 
with  IkHlinglield's  own.  The  hitter 
communicated  on  the  morning  of  the 
I7tb  September  these  glad  tidingjj,  as 
he  deemed  tlieuj.  Yet  Elizabeth  did 
not  take  immediate  advantage  of  the 
permission ;  nor  speak  again  upon  the 
subject  until  the  afternoon  of  Sundny 
the  23rd :  when  she  commandeil  iiini 
to  prepare  her  pen  and  ink  against  the 
next  day*  The  writing  materials  were 
provided,  consisting  ot  a  standish  and 
five  pens,  two  fiheets  of  fine  paper,  and 
one  course  sheet ;  and  were  accom- 
pfttiied  with  a  request  that  she  would 
not  use  them  except  tn  the  sight  of 


mistress  Tbomeo  or  of  mistress  Morton, 
another  of  the  (Queen's  servants  then^ 
at   AVoodstock.     The  letter  was   noil 
finie^hed  until  the  next  afternoon,  when  ( 
Bedingfield   was   sent   for,  and  com* 
manded   to   transcribe  it,  her  Graca  I 
saying  that   she   never  wrote  to  the. 
Lords  of  the  Council  but  by  a  Secre- 
tary,  and  sis  she  was  not  then  sufiered  | 
to   have   one,   he  must  need^   do   it.  | 
Bedingfield  prnyed  ber  Grace  to  pardon 
bim,  for  that  be  was  not  able ;  yet  at  ] 
ber  Grace's  importunate  comuiandment 
and  desire,  he  wrote  as  she  read  unto 
him  from  her  handwriting,  which  shd  J 
retained  as  a  minute.     And   ader  it  i 
was  dafed  she   added   with   her  own 
hand  something  he  did  not  see,  and 
then  desired  him  to  direct  it ;  but  thii 
he  left  undone.     This  is  the  same  in- 
cident upon  which  Foxe  has  enlarged 
at  considerable  length,  with  severe  re- 
dec  tions  upon  Bedingfield.     11  is  own 
account  of  it  is  obscure.     He  did  not 
choose  to  direct  the  letter;   he  took 
the    remaining'    ptiprr,   standish,   and 
pens  away,  and  so  departed.     But  we ' 
glean  from  the  subsequent  documents 
what  was  its  fate.     On  Wednesday  the 
2Gth,  eight  days  after  Its  penning,  the 
letter    was   at   length    desp  tit  died   by 
the  Lady  Elizabeth's  servant  Fruncig 
Verney,   who    usuully    bn^ierod   with 
Parry  her  colTcrer  at  the  Bell  inn  in 
Woodstock ;  and  on  the  7th  of  October 
the  Queen,  then  at  Westminster,  ac- 
knowledged its  safe  receipt.     It  had 
been   carrictl   direct   to   the    Queen 'a 
band  on  account  of  its  appearance^  for 
it  was  fast  sewed  without  any  endorse- 
ment on  the  outside,     But,  ou  consi- 
dering its  contents,  the  Queen  expressed 
her  surprise  that  the  Lady  £lizal>eth 
should  have  imagined  that  her  fornicr 
letters  had  been  kept  from  iicr  Ma- 
jesty's knowledge^  as  it  implied  so  dJ 
an  opinion  of  the  Council,  no  one  of 
whom  (to  the  Queen's  knowledge)  had 
given  her  any  such  cause.    She  added, 
that  if  Elizabeth's  former  answers  had 
been  as  satisfactory  to  indilferetit  ears 
as  they  appearetl  to  be  to   ber  own 
opinion^  she  might  have  fully  enjoyed 
the  Quecif  s  favour  bet  ore  a  great  many 
others  who  had  already  been  pardoned 
upon  their  submission.    Theix>yal  mis- 
sive concluded  in  these  words:  **  You 
may  therefore  declare  unto  her  these 
our  letters*  signifying  that  we  be  not 
unmindful  ol"  her  cau^e,  and  as  good

Mary  was  now  relieved  from  the 
apprehensions  which  at  lirst  appearefl 
to  justiiy  her  rigorous  treutment  of 
her  aister.  She  had  efTected  the  object 
ofber  heart  In  accomplishing  her  mar- 
riige  with  Philip^  and  the  scruples  and 
repuffnauce  of  her  subjects  to  the 
Spanish  alliance  had  been  repressed 
and  overc()ine.  There  was  little  excuse 
left  for  keeping  Elizabeth  nnder  even 
moderate  restraint ;  but,  before  relax- 
ing her  bonds,  she  deteruiined  to  put 
her  to  the  teat  in  regard  to  religioua 
conformity.  Sg^^h  were  the  "deeds'^ 
by  which  her  favour  was  to  be  regained. 
^Bedingfield,  though  too  rough  and 
ilunt  for  a  mere  courtier,  was  from 
lllis  own  religion  a  sentiments  well  cal- 
ivulated  to  f^ccond  his  njidtresn'^  bigotry. 
lOn  the  4th  of  October  (during  the 
linterval  of  the  corres!jK)ndence  last  de- 
scribed) he  volunteered  a  stfttement  to 
the  Queen,  and  addres^etl  directly  to 
her  Miijesly,  which  it  h  diilicuh  to 
ftscribe  to  any  other  motive  but  one  of 
petty  malice.     He  relates  that

by  and  by  after  which  tiie  same  her  chap« 

lam»  according  to  his  most  bouaden  duty, 

did  pray  for  the  King  and  your  Majesty 

liogether,  her  Grace  hath  never  aimwered

or  perceived  by  any  means,  being  marked 

of  very  purpose  by  your  Highacsii^a  woman 

mif tress  Morton  and  me. 

Thus  much  did  Bedingfield  conceive 
It  to  be  his  duty  to  communicate  to 
ber  Majesty ;  and  at  the  same  date  he 
informed  the  Council  that  certain  of 
ber  Grace^s  servantH  did  not  at  any 
time  come  to  divine  service,  whilst  he 
prayed  God  that  ilII  the  reut  did  not 
obaenre  it  for  form  only* 


The  Queen's  letters  in  return  shewed 
that  he  had  tnuebed  upon  the  right 
cord.  She  desired  that,  "as  the  Lady 
Elizabeth  had  shown  herself  conform- 
able enough  in  all  other  thingB,  so  she 
fthould  be  induced  to  stand  content 
with  the  service  used  in  our  own  Chapel 
and  throughout  our  Keolui,  and  no 
more  to  use  the  said  suHVages  and 
litany  in  English,  but  in  Lutin,  accord- 
ing to  the  ancient  and  Uudable  custom 
of  the  Church."  The  La«ly  Elizabeth 
Bnbmitted,  with  an  explanation  that 
the  practice  had  originated  with  her 
from  her  meeting  with  an  English 
primer  when  in  the  Tower ;  and  on  the 
Sunday  following  she  cc»nveyed  her 
wishes  to  her  chaplain  in  these  word«, 
*'  Sir  William,  you  may  no  more  aiiy 
the  suffrages  in  English," 

On  the  20tb  October,  the  Lady  Eli- 
zabeth again  desired  to  have  writing 
materiftls  to  address  the  Couucil ;  but 
Bedingfield  again  refused  her,  until  he 
had  asked  for  fresh  ])ermifision  :  "  which 
she  took  in  8o  ill  part,  that  her  Grace 
of  displeasure  therein  did  utter  mef 
with  more  words  of  reproach  of  this 
my  service  about  her  by  the  (Queen's 
Highness'  commandment,  than  ever  I 
beard  her  speuk  before — too  long  to 
write,"  On  the  afternoon  of  the  same 
day  she  re[>eated  a  request  she  hud 
made  some  weeks  before  for  the  at- 
tendance of  some  of  the  Queen's  phy- 
sicians. She  desired  that  Ductors 
Wendy,  Owen,  and  Huick,  or  two  of 
them,  might  come  and  bring  wilb  I  hem 
an  expert  surgcfm  to  let  her  Grace's 
blood,  if  the  ?aid  doctors  should  tiiink 
it  (Jcsirable.  Thia  rctjuest  wiis  gran  led, 
Owen  and  Wendy  came,  brin^nug  the 
Burgeon,  and  she  was  bletl  both  in  the 
arm  and  in  the  foot. 

She  was  permitted  to  send  a  message 
to  the  (^ueen  by  the  physicians,  but 
another  month  bad  nearly  elupsed  when 
Bedingfield  wrote  by  her  desire  to  com- 
plain that  she  had  i^ceived  no  answer; 
and  she  re  (pies  ted  that,  if  she  was  to 
be  kept  longer  in  confinement,  she 
should  be  removed  to  some  place  nearer 
London  or  her  own  houses.  If  not  in 
respect  to  her  person  or  charges,  yet

Dauphin  of  France,  her  pos»iblo  buc- 
ce«stotJ  would  have  produced  a  untoo 
of  England  and  Scotland  with  Erancei 
which  might  eventually  over-balanco 
the  growing  power  of  Spdn« 

After  one  week  «#»re,  the  Lady 
EljKabeth  was  transferred  from  Sir 
Henry  liedin^field  to  the  gentler  cus- 
tody of  Sir  TboniaB  Pope,  who  was 
cotnuiissiuned  to  attend  upon  her  at 
ber  own  manor  of  Hatfield. 

To  any  rejitler  who  baa  attentively 
perused  the  in  teres  ting  detuiltf  we  hav« 
now  recited,  it  will  be  scarcely  necea- 
(lary  to  diacuas  the  character  or  comluet 
of  Sir  Henry  Hedingfiehl.  IJy  his  own 
aemunt  be  wa»  certainly  harsh,  and  it 
h  probable  that  «oine  of  the  titories  told 
by  Foxe  of  hia  ill-tciiiper  and  severity 
were  not  destitute  of  fuunJation.  Hid 
rule  of  conduct  ap|)*;ars  to  have  been 
that  of  the  sohlier,— never  to  exceed 
hi&  prescribed  instructions:  but,  if  some 
of  Foxe*9  stories  be  true,  bis  extreme 


to  supply   her  hou»e!iold   with    pro- 
vidions. 

This  letter,  dated  the  19th  of  No- 
vember, is  the  bist  in  Sir  Henry  HihI- 
[iogiiehrs  book,  with  the  exception  of 
[one  from  the  Queen  d:iteil  five  months 
[ilk-r  (on  the  17tb  April,  1555),  sum* 
nmning  the  Ljuly  Ehzabcth  to  join  the 
Queen  at  Hampton  Court,  According 
to  Miss  Aikin  and  Miss  Strickland, 
she  ha<l  visited  the  same  royal  resi- 
dence during  the  preceding  Christnias. 
We  thinks  however,  that  ibis  must  be 
a  mistake.  Foxe  det^cribea  minutely 
her  journey  from  Wo<iilstock  in  April, 
She  travelled  on  the  tirst  day  to  Itycot, 
where  she  had  boen  so  well  entertained 
liy  the  Lord  VVilliama  on  her  former 
journey,  on  the  next  to  Mr.  rkanuer  s 
nt  West  Wycombe,  on  the  rblrtl  to  the 
George  inn  at  Colnbrook,  and  on  the 
fourth  to  Hampton  Court. 

Foxe  tell:^  us  that  she  had  been  at 
Hampton  Court  a  fortnight  before  dbe 
was  uibtjitted  to  an  interview  with  any 
of  the  Lordit  of  the  Couneih  She  was 
then  visited  by  Bishop  Gardiner,  the 
Earl  of  Arundel,  the  Earl  of  Shrews- 
bury, and  Secretary  Fetre;  when  the 
bishop  di*sired  her  "  to  submit  herself 
to  the  (^ueen*8  grace,"  but  ahe  made 
answer  that,  rather  than  do  so,  she 
would  lie  in  prison  all  the  days  of  her 
life;  adding  that  she  craved  no  mercy 
at  her  Maiesty*g  hand,  but  rather  de- 
sired the  law,  if  over  she  did  offend 
ber  Majesty  in  thought,  word,  or  deed. 
Another  week  pa.s3ed  after  this  a  tout 
tjply,  when,  one  nigbt,  at  ten  o'clock, 
wus  suddenly  summoned  to  the 
Iftueen's  presence.*  In  the  conversa- 
►  tion  which  ensueii  Foxe  represents  her 
ad  sttmding  to  her  truth  a»  stillly  and 
stoutly  as  ever,  and  at  last  departing 
with  very  few  comfortable  worils  from 
the  Queen,  "  It  was  thought,**  be  adda, 
^*  that  kiDg  Pbilip  was  there  behind  a 


caution  iJreserved  the  life  of  his  charjje 
from  mure  fanatical  enemies.  His  ad- 
ministration of  his  olQce  appears  to 
have  received  throughout  the  approval 
of  the  Queen  and  her  Council :  and  it 
is  said  to  have  been  more  substantially 
acknowledged  by  a  pension  of  lOOl,  a 
year,  and  a  portion  of  the  forfeited 
estates  of  Sir  Thomas  Wyat*  On  the

SHRINES  AND  IMAGES  OP  THE  VIRGIN  MARY. 


IT  tnay  not  be  an  improper  sequel 
to  the  story  of  La  Salette,*  to  give 

I  some  genet*al  infornLition  respecting 
the  numerous  shrines  of  the  Virgin 
Mary,  celebrated  for  their  iruagea  of 
wonder-working  power  ¥^w  persona 
are  aware  of  the  vast  number  f>f  them 
scattered  over  the  continent  of  Europe, 
without  noticing  thii»e  in  other  purtd 
of  the  world.  Lore! to  h  well  known, 
I  account  of  \iA  celebrity;  Walsing- 
tin,  in  this  country,  has  its  inernury 
preserred  in  fragments  of  old  ballads, 
ttnd  in  tiie  witty  account  of  it  by  Er!L»- 
iiiU8.t     Scattered  notices  of  others  are 

i'occaatonaUy  to  be  found  in  books  of 
travel ;  and  of  the  shrine  and  statue  of 
our  Lady  of  Boulogne  an  excellent 
notice  has  appeared  in  thisi  Magazine»{ 
Still  there  if  a  general  want  of  informal 
tion  on  the  subject.  The  bisioricB  of 
these  several  places  of  devotion  are  be- 
coming very  rare,  and  only  found,  now 
and  then,  in  catalogues  of  s.ile3 ;  yet 
are  thay  exceedingly  numerous,  and 
worth  attentive  consideration,  A  Ger- 


man writer,  of  some  diligence,§  has  col- 
lected together  a  list  of  these  work«, 
entitled  *^  Iconographia  Mariana ;"  it  is 
not,  however,  pretended  to  be  other 
than  an  attempt  to  collect  niuteriida, 
and  does  not  assume  to  be  complete : 
indeed,  T  have  several  in  my  own  col- 
lection not  there  enumerated,  and 
others  I  have  found  in  catalogues.  Yet 
does  this  contain  a  list  of  445  publica- 
tions, givinw  an  account  of  169  shrines, 
all  of  them,  DC  it  remembered,  miracu- 
louM,  and  claiming  power  little  less  than 
Loretto  itself.  It  will  be  interesting, 
jierhaps,  to  note  the  dates  of  these  Iiis- 
tories,  for,  by  that,  we  obtstin  a  clue  to 
the  mode  adopted  by  the  Church  of 
Rome,  to  regain  the  moral  power  which 
was  so  severely  shaken  by  the  Relbr- 
matiou. 

The  greater  proportion  of  these 
wtjrks  was  issued  from  the  press  dur- 
ing the  seventeenth,  and  the  first  part 
of  the  eighteenth  centuries;  a  very  few 
in  the  sixteenth,  and  none  previous  to 
the   religious   revolt  just  mentioned.

and  it  may  be  aa  well  to  mention  a  few

of  Emaus  at  Prague.  In  France  are 
several : — at  Chartn?!* ;  at  Lyons  ;  in 
the  church  of  8t,  Peter  at  Orleans 
(with  a  white  one  side  by  side);  at  the 
'  chapel  of  Notre  Dame  de  Bon  Secourtf, 
near  Nancy;  at  Puy  en  Velay;  and  nt 
the  church  of  Noire  Dame  tie  Lie^se 
one  of  great  celebrity.  In  Belgium, 
At  Hal,  Montai^u,  H'alcour,  and  Ke- 
,  Telaer,  as  well  us  others.  In  Spain 
that  of  Montserrat  is  most,  celebrated* 
to  enumerate  all  wouhl  be  but  to 
ke  a  dry  and  monotonous  list.  It 
Tf  a  very  curious  question,  hitherto 
tin  answered,  whence  this  idea  of  repre- 
fenting  the  Virgin  Marv  biack  f  Or- 
dinary observers  have  always  aiicribeLl 
it  to  the  smoke  of  lapers  :  then  why 
are  some  wbit«*  ?  But  I  have  shown 
by  one  example — that  of  *Mlur  Lady  of 
llid  ** — that  the  dark  colour  is  painted 
and  intentional,  not  fortuitous.  The 
I  early  Christian  writers  reproached  the 
'  pagans  for  their  images  of  Isis,  black* 
eneil^  a^  '^^^L  ^^^^^^d^  by  the  smoke 
of  tapers.  They  were  evidently  as 
'  much  in  error  as  modern  tonri«t!<  who 
[  flo  speak  of  the  miraculous  images  of 
the  Virgin.  The  matter,  therefore^  is 
still  a  subject  for  investigation. 

In  two  great  systems  of  ancient  wor- 
labip^one  still  extant*^  having  some  ana- 
Hogies  with   each  iilher  in  their  deep 
[  mysticism,  and  both  Oriental,  viz.  that 
of  E^iypt  and   India,  are  two  female 
divinities — Isis  and  Maya.    Both  these 
kave  peculiar  attributes,  anci  nre  re* 
ipresented  nursing  a  babe;   both  are 
ralao  represented  black.     Now,  in   thts 
Iderp  and  recondite  symlxiliriin  of  those 
Ftystems^  is  it  not  most  probable  that 
Ihis  black  colour  has  a  niystic  signifi- 
cation ?     Black    is    a    natural  symbol 
I  for  profundity,  and  the  mysterious  and 
lawful  cburacter  of  the  worship,  or  the 
'  deity,  might  be  therein  attempted  to 
be  tndiciiteil. 

It  was  not  until  after  the  Council  of 
EpheiiUS}  in  which  Nestorius  was  con- 


demned, A.B.  43 1^  that  images  or  pic- 
tures of  the  Virgin  Mary  were  common. 
The  triumph  of  Christianity  had  not 
been,  at  this  time,  so  long  assured  that 
the  traditions,  or  even  remnants,  of  the 
old  worship  of  Isis  were  wholly  obli- 
terated from  the  minds  of  the  people. 
For  |>«*pular  worship  is  not  easily  era- 
dicated when  it  forms  a  part  of  the 
habits  of  a  communityj  and,  even  when 
removed  entirely  from  recollection,  it 
will  sometimes  leave  its  memorials,  as 
ill  the  common  oaths  of  Baly,  "  Corpo 
d(  Baccho,"  **  Per  Baccho,''  &c.  Sup- 
posing, therefore,  that  in  a  portion  of 
the  Roman  empire^  there  yet  remained 
communities  familiar  with  the  festivals 
anfl  processions  of  the  images  of  Isis, 
and  that  the  Church,  in  ol>edience  to 
that  spirit  which  caused  it  to  accom- 
modate heathen  observances  and  rites 
to  its  own,  altered  their  character,  but 
kept  their  forms,  it  is  just  feasible, 
that  (he  adoption  of  a  black  image  of 
the  Virgin  would  be  one  of  the  means 
employed.  Then  the  symbolists,  eager 
to  justity  such  a  change,  would  readily 
appeal  to  the  text  from  Solomons 
Song,  *'  Thou  art  bhck^  but  comely." 

Mrs.  Jameson,  whose  writings  and 
research  on  Christian  art  are  well 
known,  has  some  interesting  remarks 
on  this  subject^  that  cannot  be  passed 
over.  She  hints,  that  Cyril  of  Alex* 
andria,  who  so  violently  opposed  Nea- 
t4>riu8,  might  have  been  instrumental 
in  ongraiHng  the  ancient  Egyptian 
type  of  Isis  nursing  Horus,  which  to 
him,  as  well  as  to  the  popular  mind, 
nni5t  have  been  familiar,  upon  the 
orthodox  faith.  This  idea  is  extremely 
plausible:  the  ancient  lype  was  well 
known,  not  only  in  Egypt,  but  in  other 
parts  of  the  Roman  empire,  and  it  was 
m  accordance  with  the  violent  and  hasty 
character  of  that  prelate  to  engage  the 
popular  voice,  by  an  apf>eal  to  ancient 
prejudices.  Thus  the  triumph,  which 
ensured  the  use  of  the  image,  was 
mainly  due  to  an  Egyptian  bishop. 
This  fact  seems  like  an  additional  link 
to  our  evidence,  and  the  traditions 
attached  to  some  of  the  black  images, 
of  having  been  brought  from  Egypt, 
are  another  support  to  a  theory  of  pro- 
babilities. 

Our  Lady  of  Ltesse  was  brought 
from  Egypt,  though  indeed  said  to 
hrtve  been  miraculously  sculptured  by 
three  Christian  prisoners,  quite  igno^

Our  Lady  of  Pujr  in  Velay,  however,

covers  buth  fuces,  rind  hiiiids  and  feet, 
80  that  neither  fingers  nor  toe»  are

the  child  Jt.'i*ns  are  painte<l  black,  iitrI 
poltiihed  like  ebony.  The  form  of  the

the  sparkling  material  on  the  black 
Colour,  they  give  the  figure  a  wild 
look,  which  injtpires  surprise  and  even 
fear,  It  is  bt'lievcd,  and  with  Aome 
reason,  that  this  may  be  liveu  an  Egyp- 
lian  representation  of  I«if<, — at  least 
such  an  opinion  was  given  by  Fauias 
de  Saint-J'ond,  who  vidited  the  shrme 
in  1777. 

In  a  history  of  Our  Lady  of  Puy, 
entitled,  "DiHCourp  Hi.*lunqne  de  la 
trea  Ancienne  Uuvotion  de  Notre  Dume 
du  Puy  en  Velay,  &c,  Lyun,  H^iO,** 
by  Odc»  de  Gisi^ey,  the  origin  of  the 
holy  iimige  of  that  placu  is  stated  to 
have  been  tk»  follows  : — 

The  iUudCritJUB  house  of  France,  jome 
time  after  t\\c  huilding  of  the  church, 
**  Kglise  dc  la  Cbnise  Dieu/*  undertook  a 
Journey  to  tlic  Holy   Land,     Before  the 

{Hous  prince  Louii  IX.  (called  the  Samt) 
>egnn  his  pilgrimaB;e,  he  visiied  thii<  church, 
fki  then  journeyed  towurda  Jerusaleint 
wht^rc  he  h^arntdurinj^  hts  rcsiilence  there^ 
from  one  ol  thi?  tiivouritc  wives  of  the 
Sultan,  that,  in  tli«  trcm-ary  of  tho  y\ac^, 
wa*  au  image  of  the  Nf  other  of  Gi>dt  which 
hiid  been  executed  by  the  prf>phei  Jere^ 
miaM,  He  hrggcd  Che  SuUiin  to  give  hiiu 
this  inin4^t<.  assuring  him  that  it  hboulcl  be 
net  up  in  a  place  wbcrft  it  should  be  ho- 
noured for  ever.  Enriehed  by  this  moat 
coftty  treasure  of  th**  earth,  the  Kinn 
reAchrd  his  doaiinion»  in  snfety*  One  of 
ti»e  firnt  towns  whieh  he  passed  was  Puy, 
where,  amidst  hynms  of  prafie»  he  set  up 
the  image  for  eternal  honour. 


Our  author  woa  a  Jeauit^  jwd  hiif 
simplicity,  or  piety,  receives  no  8ho<*k 
at  the  idea  o("  a  likeness  beins  taken 
before  a  person  was  born.  He  a  1 50 
makes  St.  Louia  fainiliar  with  the  Sul* 
tan*s  harem,  to  a  degree  that  Moslems 
have  not  generally  accorded  to  '*  Chria- 
tmn  dogs/*  It  is  a  pity  ho  did  not 
make  a  convert,  the  interest  would 
have  been  so  inuch  heightened  ;  for  it 
is  dilhcult  to  understand,  how  a  con- 
temner of  images  should  he  influenced 
by  an  assurance  of  the  great  honour 
that  wouhl  be  rendered  to  one* 

A  hgure  of  *^  Our  Lady  "  at  Mar- 
seilles, also  black,  called  *M>ur  Lady 
of  Confession,**  so  named  because  she 
was  surrnunded  by  the  reliquea  of 
saints  and  nnirtyrs  of  the  faith,  is  said 
by  some  antiquaries  to  be  a  statue  of 
la  is.  This  is  one  of  tliose  ascribed  to 
St.  Luke.  At  Chartres  is  another  black 
figure  of  the  Virgin,  of  great  woniler- 
workfng  power.  This  is  ascribed  to 
the  Dnuth^  who,  they  say,  raise*!  an 
altar  to  the  Virgin  by  revelation,  and 
which  worked  miracles  anterior  to 
Chriistianity  itself.  Tlu^y  thus  claim 
for  it  a  priority  in  aniiijuily  over  all 
other*. 

Among  the  number  of  black  Ma- 
dnnnus  one  must  not  forget  Our  I^ady 
of  Atocha,  near  Madrid,  for  it  will  be 
in  the  recnl lection  of  my  readers  thnt 
it  wiLs  to  thin  shrine  that  the  Quoeu  of 
Spain  went  to  in  thanksgiving  for  her 
escape  from  the  knife  of  an  assassin. 
On  this  occasion,  she  presented  to  the 
image  the  royal  mantle,  and  the  coMtly 
jewels  she  woi*e  at  the  time  the  at- 
tempt was  made.*  This  shrine  was 
celebrated  for  its  riches,  and  its  nu- 
merous pilgrimages,  and  it  has  been, 
from  time  immemorial,  a  pnictice  fur 
the  King  of  Spain  to  sing  a  TV  Deum 
belor^  it,  on  any  f»ccasion  of  a  happy 
and  prosj)erou3  character*  It  was,  ac- 
cording to  the  author  of  the  "  Deliecs 
trKspagne,'' surrounded  by  an  bniulred 
lamps  of  guld  and  silver,  which  burned 
night  and  day.  On  fuie  days  it  Wiis 
covered  with  precious  stones,  and

There  are  several  hisforiea  of  i\m

with  bears  the  diite  1604,  and  was 
printed  at  Mudrid. 

Facts  and  traditions  ao  vague  are 
not  of  much  value  in  tiiemselvea,  but 
whew  we  find  them  tending  to  eluci- 
date a  question,  they  at  least  seem  to 
supply  a  broken  link  or  two  in  the 
chain  of  evidence. 

Among  the  nunierooa  pictures  ancl 
statues  of  the  Virgin  Mary  those 
OBcribed  to  St.  Luke  are  the  most  cele- 
brated. Of  theite  the  number  m  very 
considerable ;  although,  of  course,  there 
are  many  of  disputed  orit^iimlity. 
Where  this  idwi  arose,  of  St.  Luke 
being  an  artist,  is  perhaps  now  dilEcult 
of  research,  and  scarcely  repaying 
much  trouble  in  the  inquiry ;  certain 
it  is  that  it  has  been  a  very  anciently 
receive*!  opinion.  According  to  tsoiiie, 
however,  it  is  an  error  arising  from 
the  fact  that  a  noted  painter  lived  in 
Tuscany,  in  the  middle  of  t!ie  eleventh 
century,  of  the  name  of  Luke,*  who, 
by  a  confusion  of  ideas,  has  been  con- 
founded with  the  Evangelist.  This 
artist,  however,  lived  at  least  a  century 
too  late  for  the  tradition^  which,  so  far 
as  I  am  aware,  is  at  first  recorded  by 
Simeon  Metaphrastes,  a  Greek  writer 
of  the  tenth  century-  Emeric  David 
considers  that  Lauzi  has  proved  that 
certain  portrait*  of  the  Vn-gin  Mary 
were  piiinted  by  a  Fle>rcntiue,  named 
Luke,  which  is  not  improbable;  but 
^Jkietjiphrasles  states  the  rect^ived  opi- 
nion clearly,  and  that  at  once  over- 
thrown the  idea  that  the  story  arose 
fnjin  the  Tuscan  artist,  which  was 
scarcely  likely  to  have  originated  a 
tradition  m  widely  received  both  in 
the  Greek  and  Latin  church.  After 
speaking  of  the  attainments  of  St.  Luke 
in  philosoptiy,  rhetoric,  and  "  all  the 
arts,"  the  legendary  writer  above- 
named  9ays:f — "But,  among  other 
things,  this  is  most  gratifying,  thai  he 
drawing  with  lines  and  uvij'  the  type 
itself  of  the  assumed  hunimitty  of  my 
Christ,  and  that  m^n  of  her  who  had 
brought  him  forth,  first  delivered  iheui 


to  us,  that,  down  to  these  times,  they 
should  be  honoured  in  their  imiiges^o 
that  he  did  not  consider  it  enough, 
utdesfl  through  an  image  and  type  he 
should  converse  with  those  whom  he 
desired,  which  is  a  sign  of  the  nmst 
fervent  love."  I  have  given  a  literal 
rendering  of  the  pnssage,  so  that  the 
original  words  employed  may  be  un- 
derstood. The  reference  to  wax  shows 
the  writer  either  hud  the  encaustio 
mode  in  his  nund,  or  the  simpler  titiear 
process  on  a  tablet  of  wax.  The  pas- 
sage is  interesting  in  more  cases  than 
one,  and  it  establishes  the  fact  that  the 
tradition  aiready  existed  in  the  tenth 
century,  an  hundred  years  before 
writers  above  named  supposed  the  idea 
to  have  had  its  origin. 

Mrs.  Jameson  has  observed,  hb 
St.  Luke  waa  earlir  regarded  as  the 
great  authority  with  respect  to  the 
fife  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  that,  in  figu- 
rative language,  he  uvight  be  said  to 
hnye  p(thi fed  her  [Hirtruit.  This  view 
is  ijuiie  in  harmony  with  the  common 
practice  of  legenilary  writers  and  of 
jKipulur  ignorance^  of  interpreting  me- 
taphors literally,  and  making  a  logical 
consequence  of  a  rhetorical  Nourish. 
1  hesitate  to  say  that  it  was  entirely 
due  to  that  circumstance  that  the  idea 
arose,  but  it  is  extremely  probable  that 
it  lent  its  aid  to  form  the  tradition. 
If  one  mif^ht  adventure  a  guess  as  to 
the  periixi  when  it  first  arose,  I  think 
probability  would  point  to  the  time  of 
the  Iconoclnstic  conlroversy,  as  what 
argument  so  convincing  as  to  assert 
that  one  of  the  Evangelista  was  him- 
seli'n  painter  and  miiker  of  images? 

The  idea  of  St.  Luke  the  Evange- 
list being  a  painter,  is  then  u  far-re- 
ceived tradition, — but  huw  a  sculptor? 
This  is  the  most  curious  point  of  all, 
as  the  most  celebrated  miraculous 
figures  are  said  to  be  the  work  of  St, 
Luke.  Of  tliese  1  will  enumerate  a

do€s  not  d^erve;  nor  can  it  be  a 
miLtter  of  any  mument  to  inquire  into 
the  authorship.  This  image  was  '^Our 
Latly"  of  the  church  of  St,  Cosdio  and 
St*  OamtaD,  and  was  al^io  painted  by 
St  Luke.  St.  Gregory  accorded  the 
privilege  of  delivering  a  soul  from 
pur^ratory,  to  every  priest  who  should 
perform  a  mass  upon  thi?  altar  of  the 
**Our  Lady"  whlth  had  spoken  to  him. 

At  PiiUch,  in  BohemiUf  is  a  "  Weep- 
ing Mudonnai"  that  ia  to  say,  one  of 
«uch  lachrymose  tendencies  as  to  be 
»peciflUy  remarkable  ^  for,  as  m  that  of 
Atoeha,  "weeping*'  funueil  the  duty 
of  many.  There  is  also  .another  in 
Hungary  whit^h  is  said  to  be  often  in 
tears  for  human  wicJcedness ;  it  ia  at 
Tymao,  and  the  author  of  its  story 
ipeaka  of  it  as  sitpiuM  lachrymaia. 

The  origin  and  history  of  these 
shrines  contain  matter  so  far  removed 
from  all  ordinary  ideas  of  credibility , 
that  the  wonder  would  be,  how  tliey 
could  so  oflen  he  reproduced  ai*  they 
have  been  down  to  out  own  times,  if 
we  bad  not,  every  now  and  then,  such 
strong  proofs  of  the  extreme  ease  with 
which  people  are  beguiled.  Not  only 
are  thci  images  and  portraits  by  St. 


Luke  multiplied  to  a  defrree  that  is 
absurd,  even  if  hia  skill  and  profession 
were  acknowledged,  but  there  are 
many  not  made  at  all, — found  in  oaks, 
or  miraculously  dug  out  of  the  eartli ; 
and  some  are  made  by  the  hands  of 
angels.  No  atory  has  been  too  wild, 
or  extravagant;  and,  as  to  the  miracles, 
there  is  not  a  shrine,  however  humble, 
that  does  not  record  in  its  histttry  a 
Isrger  number  than  are  met  wkli  in 
the  whole  New  Testament.  Hung 
round  the  altars  are  the  votive  offer- 
ings of  the  h;ilt  antl  the  blind  ;  eyes, 
legs,  anfis,  and  breasts,  in  silver  or  in 
wax,  according  to  the  wealth  of  the 
donor,  are  exhiliited  to  the  faithful  in 
evidence  of  truth,  so  that  the  order  of 
nature  seems  so  often  diaturbefl  on 
trifling  occat^ions,  that  we  might  yield 
to  the  argument  of  a  learned  seceder, 
and  say,  that  these  disturbaneea  are 
rather  parts  of  laws,  and  belong  to  the 
etenial  tmler  of  tliings.  On  a  future 
occasion  I  will  present  to  the  reader 
some  of  the  narratives  of  the  celebrated 
shrines  in  Eurofse  which  yet  attract 
pilgriojs  to  their  altars.

WANDERINGS  OF  AN  ANTIQUARY: 

Cbfefiy  upon  the  traces  of  the  Romans  in  Britnin.     By  Thomas  Wright,  Ebq,^  M.A.^ 
F.S.A.     London.     J.  B,  Nichols  and  Sous.  1854. 


Al^  the  greater  part  of  the  contents 
of  thin  volume  have  already  apfjeared 
in  our  columns,  which  implica  suf- 
iScientlv  our  favourable  opinion  of  it, 
we  shall  not  be  expected  on  the  pre- 
sent occasion  to  sfteak  of  it  critically. 
We  may^  however,  now  regard  it  as  a 
whole,  especially  as  the  chapters  printed 
in  our  Magazine  have  been  all  revised, 
some  of  them  considerably  enlarged, 
and  several  new  chapters  added. 

It  has  been  Mr.  Wright's  object  to 
convey  archaeological  tnft irmntion  uivder 
the  form  of  a  narrative  of  personal  in- 
vestigations on  remarkable  sites  which 
still  enshrine  some  of  the  most  inte- 
resting remains  of  the  Roman,  the 
early  Brilinh,  and  the  Saxon  periods. 
Many  of  these  monuments  are  com- 
paratively but  little  known,  while  re- 
specting others   there   are  conflicting 


opinions,  prejudices,  and  errors.  To 
correct  mistakes,  to  clear  up  disiputed 
points,  and  to  impart  knowledge  js  the 
au t hor' s  ai m :  to  accompl i all  t hese  objoc ts 
no  medium  can  he  more  attractive  than 
that  whicli  includes  a  description  of 
localities  accompanied  by  illustrations. 
Had  Stukeley  possessed  the  advan- 
tages which  have  fallen  to  the  lot  of 
the  author  of  the  Wandering^j  his 
Itinerarium  Curwmmi  would  doubtlet«« 
have  been  far  more  valuable  than  it 
really  is;  he  evidently  saw  the  im- 
pnrtHnce  of  giving  thereaderan  insight 
mto  the  features  of  the  country  sur- 
rounding the  remains  he  describes ; 
and,  though  he  does  not  always  show 
good  judgment  in  his  sketches,  he  not 
unfref^oently  mnkes  them  useful,  and 
sometimes  they  serve  even  to  correct 
the  descriptive  text.     It  is  solely  in  re-

At  tluK  tiaie,  England  had  been  for

unintereiting  gronnd,  through  which  the 
muddy,  tortuous  Stour  drags  its  coursei  is 
easily  concealed  by  a  few  houses,  or 
stunted  plantations.  But  as  these  disap- 
pear, and  the  road  suddenly  approaches 
nearer  the  sea  shore,  tbe  waters  of  Peg- 
well  Briy  open  before  us,  and  a  long  line 
of  dbtaot  cliffs,  terminjited  by  Ramsgate 
Pier  and  tht»  shipping  in  llamsgate  Har- 
bour, form  a  bold  feature  in  the  view,  A 
strip  of  low  and  swnmpy  ground,  danger- 
ous at  some  periods  of  the  year  to  those 
who  are  betrayed  into  it,  and  even  now 
enlivened  only  by  tlie  blue  dress  of  nn 
occasional  coast-guardsman,  picking  bis 
way  in  search  of  smugglers,  by  whom  this 
coast  has  long  been  infested,  sepjirates  the 
sea  from  the  road  on  which  we  were  tra- 
velling. As  we  pass  a  tavern,  called  from 
its  position  between  Sandwich  and  Rams- 
gate  the  Half-way  House,  the  road,  which 
before  had  no  other  hedge  than  a  few 
bushes  of  hlacktUom,  no  this  occasion 
whitened  with  blossom,  begins  to  be  bor- 
dered with  hawthorn  hedges,  and  we  oora- 
nieace  a  gradual  accent,  during  which  the  I 
prospect  to  the  left  is  cut  oflf  by  the  rising

itself  as  a  hold  feature  in  tbe  laudscape,

of  which  were  put  forth,  a  few  years 
since,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Ecroyd 
Smith.  Mr.  Wright  has  personally 
examined  the  pavements,  the  walls,  the 
buildings,  and  the  inscriptions,  and 
nothing  worthy  of  notice  appears  to 
have  escaped  his  eye.  Aldborougfa, 
however,  rich  as  it  is  in  remains  of 
antinuity,  like  other  lioman  sites,  is 
but  barely  mentioned  in  history ;  its 
name  alone  oirurs !  Local  historians 
have,  nevertheloiy,  connect eii  it  with 
events  and  with  historio.'d  person- 
ages.    After  quoting  a  recently-pub- 


[Feb. 


lished  local  History,  Mr.  Wright  ob- 
serves : — 

I  will  only  remark  that  all  this  pretended 
history  is  entirely  without  foundation ;  it 
is,  in  fact,  a  tery  remarkable  instance  of 
the  manner  in  which  CTerything  relating 
to  the  early  history  of  our  island  has  been 
too  often  treated  by  writers  who  were 
eager  to  furnish  information  where  the 
want  of  knowledge  gate  an  opportunity  for 
specnUtion.  We  have  no  rcasoa  for  stating 
that  Isnrinm  was  known  to  the  **  Druids 
and  Britons"  by  the  name  of  Iseur ;  the 
dorlfatiOB  has  not  even  remote  probability 
in  its  favour,  and  there  is  not  the  least 
ground  for  supposing  that  I  sis  was  ever 
worshipped  here ;  we  hare  not  the  slight- 
est reason  for  stating  that  it  was  the  seat 
of  ttie  Brigantian  kings,  and  its  connection 
with  Venntius  and  his  queen  is  a  mere 
creation  of  fancy  ;  neither  have  we  any 
reason  for  believing  thit  it  was  ever  *'  the 
northern  metropolis  of  the  Romans,"  or 
that  tijey  removed  from  hence  to  Ebura- 
cum.  All  that  we  really  know  is  simply 
that  Isurium  must  have  been  one  of  tlie 
earlier  Roman  towns  in  Britain,  since  it 
is  mentioned  by  Ptolemy,  and  that  it  ex- 
isted at  the  time  when  the  Antonine 
Itinerary  was  compiled.  I  mention  this 
chiefly  to  warn  my  readers  against  the 
speculative  antiquarianism  which  thus 
builds  deceptive  edifices  without  founda- 
tions.* Such  warning  is  not  unnecessary, 
for  there  are  still  many  stumbling-blocks 
of  this  kind  which  require  to  be  removed 
out  of  the  way  of  the  young  antiquary; 
and  i  hope  that  there  are  now  many  young 
antiquaries  in  this  country  to  receive  the 
hint  as  an  acceptable  one.f 


*  I  regret  to  say  that  Mr.  Ecroyd  Smith,  the  most  recent  historian  of  Roman  Isu- 
rium, has  given  in  too  much  to  these  fanciful  statements  on  the  supposed  British  history 
of  this  city,  and  that  he  is  not  always  quite  as  accurate  as  he  ought  to  be  in  quoting  his 
early  authorities.  He  sajs  that  Ptolemy  **  occupies  the  city  by  a  portion  of  the  sixth 
legion  ;*'  but  if  he  had  looked  at  Ptolemy  himself  he  would  see  that  Ptolemy  states 
merely  that  Eburacum  was  occupied  by  the  sixth  legion,  saying  nothing  of  any  part  of 
any  legion  being  connected  with  Isurium. 

t  It  is  much  to  be  regretted  th.it  persons  should  venture  to  print  opinions  and 
conjectures  on  subjects  of  a  scientific  character,  of  the  science  of  which  they  are  not 
aiH|uainted  with  the  first  rudiments ;  especially  when  those  rudiments  are  now  not 
difficult  to  l>e  obtained.  We  have  some  strange  examples  in  the  book  of  which  we  have 
been  npoaking.  1  think  there  can  be  few  persons  in  England  taking  any  interest  in 
the  early  antiquities  of  their  country  who  do  not  know  that  both  on  the  red  Roman 
pottery,  known  among  antiquaries  as  Samian  ware,  and  on  the  coarser  whitish  ware 
used  for  amphorte,  mortaria,  jkc.  either  letters  or  co'iiplete  words  are  stnmped,  which 
are,  in  fact,  the  names  of  the  }>otters.  Hitherto  the  }H)tter8'  marks  on  the  white  ware 
have  not  been  so  carefully  collected  as  those  on  the  red  ware;  in  *'The  Celt,  the  Roman, 
and  the  Saxon."  I  have  given  a  list  of  about  a  thousand  varieties  of  the  latter.  Among 
them  is  the  name  of  COBNERTVS,  who  in  one  example  uses  the  mark  COBNERTI 
M.  (i.  e,  Cobnerti  manu,  by  the  hand  of  Cobnertus),  and  in  a  fragment  in  the  museum 
at  Aldborough  it  is  COB,  either  an  abbreviation  or  merely  a  fragment  of  the  mark  (I 
have  not  seen  it  to  be  able  to  say  which"!.  Mr.  Gill  has  printed  the  following  droll 
suggestion  on  what  he  describes  as  '*  one  with  a  horse  and  a  child  playing  near  a  woman

RACHEL  LADY  RUSSELL'S  LETTERS. 
Letters  of  Rachel  Lady  Raasell.     In  2  Vols.     Longaan. 


THE  name  of  Rachel  Ru^kU  is  one 
for  which,  Protestants  as  we  are,  we  are 
well  nigh  tempted  to  demand  ouioni- 
xalion.  Still,  with  ever  new  wonder 
and  admiring  love,  do  we  return  to 
each  memorial  of  that  noM>^.' wo:uan : 
to  the  proofs  of  a  ^ubmir^iim  to  the 
Divine  Will,  and  fitlelitj  ti>  the  me- 
mory of  her  earthlj  lord,  not  to  be 
read  only  in  expressions  of  pious  resi>;- 
nation  and  of  faithful  love;  but  in  the 
course  of  a  long  life,  filled,  as  few  lives 
have  been,  with  positive  acts  of  ilutv  : 
marked  also  bj  the  cultivation  and 
exercise  of  a  sound  judgment  in  all 
things.  Who  is  there  whose  char.ictcr, 
take  it  for  all  in  all,  is  richer  in  (quali- 
ties which  seldom  meet  in  one  ami  the 
same  person?  Gentleness  anil  can- 
dour, eombinetl  with  a  very  keen  ^enie 
of  indijination  against  moral  wron;:, — 
sympathy  with  the  young, — teiidcrne-s 
to  the  weak, — with  iwvere  jii'li:nients 
of  herself.  Neither  s«mre«K  nor  >[i«>ileil, 
nor  deadeneil  in  her  perceptions  by 
trial ;  ready  for  every  emertrency ; 
humble,  but  not  to  be  tliverte«l  frv»m 
any  right  pur|H)?e :  quiet,  brave,  >im- 
ple,  just,  and  loving — can  this  picture 
be  thought  overchargotl  ?  To  u:»,  in- 
dee«l,  every  trace  ot  this  remarkable 
woman  is  sacred,  and«  under  other  cir- 
cumstance:', we  would  not  willingly 
have  been  among  those  who  have  ma<le 
her  private  memorials  and  letter.-*  com- 
mon to  all  the  world.  Hut  it  is  far  too 
late  in  the  day  for  reserve.  The  con- 
Hdential  out|>ouring.s  of  Rachel  Russell, 
the  loving  wife  and  mourning  willow, 
are  the  rich  inheritance  of  every  read- 
ing English  niau  or  woman,  an<l  our 
testimoiiy  of  gratitude  for  such  trea- 
sures is  all  that  remains  fur  us  to 
bestow. 

In  order  to  explain  the  siiecial  cha- 


racteristic of  this  new  edition  of  the 
famous  Letters^  it  is  nei>»sary  to  £r«> 
hack  to  the  year  l^i.<^.  In  that  year 
Miss  Berry.  who4o  decease,  at  the  ad- 
vanced ageof  ninety,  we  but  lately  chn>- 
nicle«l.  was  app«>intetL  or  penuitte^i. 
by  the  Duke  of  Devonshire  to  etiic  a 
series  of  letters  from  Latly  Rachel 
Russell  to  her  I^rd.  which,  preserve^l 
in  the  archives  of  Devonshire  Hou.-«e« 
had,  till  then,  never  been  publisberl: 
although  those  letters  which  were  writ- 
ten subsei^uent  to  Lord  ikussell's  exe- 
cution ha<l,  long  before,  been  familiar 
to  Engli<ih  re.ider?.  Miss  Rerry  ac- 
companietl  this  eiiition  (in  4to.)  by  a 
Memoir,  the  best  which  h.is  appeared 
before  i>r  since,  which  was  afterwanls 
reprinted  in  a  fragmentary  work  en- 
titletl,  '•  A  Comparative  View  of  Social 
Life  in  England  and  France,"  in  2  vols. 
1;>44.  Meanwhile  a  new  eiiition  of 
the  Life  of  William  I^rd  Russell  by 
Lord  John  Russell  being  calleil  tor,  it 
seems  to  h.ave  struck  the  noble  bio- 
grapher of  the  husband,  that  a  complete 
edition  of  the  Letters  of  the  wite.  of 
corres|)onding  size,  would  Iks  advise- 
able,  and  we  have  accordingly,  for  the 
first  time,  the  two  series  uniteil — the 
letters  l»efore  antl  after  Laily  Russell's 
widowhotMl.  To  tht^se  who  p*')ssess 
both  works  this  arranirement  is  usetul ; 
yet  it  fails  in  the  tlesireil  iHimpleteness, 
so  far  as  Lady  Russell  is  ci>ncernetl. 
It  is  surely  to  be  complained  of.  not 
without  reason,  that  the  Letters  should 
have  been  thus  tlung  u{)on  the  public, 
accompanied  merely  by  fotu- notes  anil 
a  very  short  intro<luction.  A  vit>lonce  is 
done  to  the  reader's  feelings  by  pissing, 
without  a  pause,  without  even  the  in- 
tervention of  a  significant  blank  page, 
from  a  fond,  endearing  letter  addressed 
to  the  liriv^  husband,  in  which  the

and  purse,  to  Mr.  Russtell,  second  son 
of  ihe  Karl  of  Bedford,  in  the  close  of 


141 

the  year  lGt»9.  Her  parentage  and 
early  years  have  all  the  light  possible 
thrown  on  them  by  Miss  Berry,  to 
whose  Memoir  we  refer  the  reader,  as 
abo  for  the  tblluwing  remarks  on  thi« 
series  of  the  Letters  :■ — 

The  first  letters  in  the  fnllowiog  series 
ore  aldresiied  by  Lady  Vaughun  to  her 
huAbund,  Mr.  Russell,  in  the  spring  of  the 
year  1672.  They  are  continued,  at  dislaut 
intervals*  to  within  a  tweWemontb  of  his 
dcfllh.  They  are  few,  for  during^  the  four* 
teen  happy  years  of  their  union  they  were 
little  apart.  Their  only  momenta  of  sepa- 
ration seem  to  hiivc  heea  some  T'lsita  of 
dnty  to  bis  fattier  when  llTinff  entirely  at 
Woburn,  or  during  his  elections  for  two 
successive  ParlJamcnts  i  sotne  »hort  ab* 
sences  in  London,  on  private  or  political 
business,  and  his  attendance  at  Oxford 
during:  the  only  session  of  the  Parliament 
so  suddenly  dismissed  by  Charles. 

These  letters  are  written  with  such  a 
neglect  of  style,  and  often  of  grammarj  aa 
may  disgust  the  adtnirers  of  well  turned 
periods,  and  they  contain  such  frequent 
repetitions  of  homely  tenderness  as  may 
sha.k  the  sentimental  readers  of  the  pre- 
sent day.  But  they  evince  the  enjoyment 
of  a  happiness,  budt  on  such  mttonal 
foundations,  and  so  traly  appreciated  by 
it»  possessors,  as  too  seldom  occurs  jn  the 
history  of  the  human  heart.  They  are 
impressed  too  with  the  marks  of  a  cheer* 
ful  mind,  a  soeisl  spirit,  and  every  indi- 
cation of  a  character  prtpared,  as  well  to 
enjoy  the  sunshine  as  to  meet  the  storms 
of  life. 

Thus  gifted,  and  thus  situated,  her 
tender  and  prnphctic  exhortations  both  to 
her  Lord  nnd  herself,  to  merit  tlie  con- 
tinuance of  such  liHppiuess,  and  to  secure 
its  perfect  enjoyment  by  being  prepared 
for  its  loss,  are  not  less  striking  than  hia 
entire  and  absolute  contidcnce  in  her  cha- 
racter, and  attuchment  to  her  society. 

The  death  of  Mr.  Uussell'a  elder 
brother  in  1678,  caused  the  title  to 
devolve  on  Lord  Will  mm,  ami  then  fir&t

come.  She  heard  a  rumour  of  his 
intention  of  movini;  in  the  House  of 
Lords  a  stron":  resolution,  and  wrote  a 
short  letter  thereupon,  which  found 
bim  in  his  place  in  the  House.  The 
letter  is  as  follows  :— 

March  16778. 
My  sister  being  here  tells  me  she  over- 
heard you  tell  her  Lord  last  night,  that 
you  would  take  notice  of  the  business 
(you  know  what  I  mean)  in  the  House  ;* 
this  alarms  me,  and  I  do  earnestly  beg  of 
you  to  tell  me  truly  if  you  have  or  mean 
to  do  it.  If  you  do,  I  am  most  assured 
you  will  repent  it.  I  beg  once  more  to 
know  the  truth.  It  is  more  pain  to  be  in

R.   RUSHELL. 

Excepting;  this   momentary  alarm, 

the  picture  of  peace  and  affection  seems 

pericct.     Every   line   testiiies   to   the 

deep  well-spring  of  happiness  within. 

London,  June  12,  1680. 

My  dearest  heart,  flesh  and  blood  can- 
not have  a  truer  and  greater  sense  of  their 
own  h.ippiness  than  your  poor  but  honest 
wife  haf<.  I  am  glad  you  And  Stratton  so 
sweet;  may  you  live  to  do  so  one  fifty  years 
more  ;  and,  if  God  pleases,  I  shall  be  glad 
I  may  keep  your  company  most  of  those 
years,  unless  you  wifh  other  at  any  time ; 
then  I  think  I  could  willingly  leave  all  in 
the  world,  knowing  you  would  tnke  care  of 
our  brats :  they  are  both  well,  and  your 
great  one's  letter  she  hopes  came  to  you. 

Again : — 

Stratton,  Septeml>er  SO  [30],  1681. 

To  see  anybody  preparing,  and  taking 
their  way  to  see  what  1  long  to  do  a  tliou- 
sand  times  more  than  they,  makes  me  not 
endure  to  suiTer  their  going,  without 
saying  something  to  my  best  life ;  though 
it  is  a  kind  of  anticipating  my  joy  when 


we  shall  meet,  to  allow  myself  so  much 
before  the  time :  but  I  confess  I  feel  a 
great  deal,  that,  though  I  left  London 
with  great  reluctance,  (as  it  is  easy  to 
persuade  men  a  woman  does,)  yet  that  I 
am  not  like  to  leave  Stratton  with  greater. 
They  will  tell  you  how  well  I  got  hither, 
and  how  well' I  found  our  dear  treasure 
here  :  your  boy  will  please  you ;  you  will, 
I  think,  find  him  improved,  though  I  tell 
you  so  beforehand.  They  fancy  he  wanted 
yon;  for,  as  soon  as  I  alighted,  he  fol- 
lowed, calling  Papa ;  but,  I  suppose  it  is 
the  word  he  has  most  command  of;  so 
was  not  disobliged  by  the  little  fellow. 
The  girls  were  fine,  in  remembrance  of 
the  luippy  29th  of  September  ;t  and  we 
drank  your  health,  after  a  red-deer  pie ; 
and  at  night  your  girls  and  I  »upped  on  a 
sack  posset :  nay.  Master^  would  have  his 
room  ;  and  for  haste  burnt  his  fingers  in 
the  posset;  but  he  does  but  rub  his  hands 
for  it.  It  is  the  most  glorious  weather 
here  that  ever  wss  seen.  The  coach  shall 
meet  you  at  the  cabbage-garden  :  be  there 
by  eight  o'clock,  or  a  little  after;  though 
I  guess  you  can  hardly  be  there  so  soon, 
day  breaks  so  late;  and  indeed  the  morn- 
ings are  so  misty,  it  is  not  wholesome  to 
be  in  the  air  so  early.  I  do  propose  going 
to  my  neighbour  Worsley  to-day.  I  would 
fain  be  telling  my  heart  more  things — 
anything  to  be  in  a  kind  of  talk  with  him  ; 
but  I  believe  S|>encer  stays  for  my  dis- 
patch :  he  was  willing  to  go  early  ;  but 
this  was  to  be  the  delight  of  this  morning, 
and  the  support  of  the  day.  It  is  per- 
formed in  bed,  thy  pillow  at  my  back  ; 
where  thy  dear  head  shall  lie,  I  ho])e.  to- 
morrow night,  and  many  more,  I  trust  in 
Uis  mercy,  notwithstanding  all  our  ene- 
mies or  ill-wishers.  Love,  and  he  willing 
to  be  loved,  by  R.  Russkll. 

Our  sources  of  informution  throw 
little  new  light  on  the  conduct  of  Lady 
liusacU  on  the  seizure,  trial,  and  exe- 


*  On  the  14th  of  March  of  this  year,  the  House  of  Commons  had  resolved  itself 
into  a  committee  of  the  whole  House  to  consider  the  state  of  the  nation.  The  motion 
for  this  committee  was  made  by  Lord  Russell  in  the  following  words  : — **  I  move  that 
we  may  go  into  a  committee  of  the  whole  House  to  consider  of  the  sad  and  deplorable 
condition  we  are  in,  and  the  apprehensions  we  are  under  of  Popery  and  a  Standing 
Army,  and  that  we  may  couhider  of  some  way  to  save  ourselves  from  ruin." 

Sir  John  Reresby  mentions  the  great  exertions  made  by  the  Court  to  resist  these 
proceedings.  It  is  probable  that  this  note  was  meant  to  dissuade  Lord  Russell  from 
making  this  motion,  or  perhaps  from  some  other  of  a  stronger  nature  on  the  same 
subject,  in  which  she  was  successful.  Lord  Russell  having  kept  this  note,  and  endorsed 
it,  with  the  time  at  which  it  came  to  his  hands,  proves  the  strong  impresuion  which 
some  circiimstnnce  about  it  had  made  on  his  mind.

when,  after  all  wa<*  over,  he  appeared 
for  the  first  time  in  her  presence,  his 
conaciouaness  of  ill  desert,  in  having 


pleaded  rather  for  the  life  thai  now  is 
than  for  that  which  i$  to  come>  op* 
pressed  and  embarrassed  him.  To  toe 
honour  of  her  candour  and  generoua 
kindness,  she  forgave  freely;  and  only 
on  one  distant  occasion,  when  the  then 
Dean  consulted  her  as  to  the  propriety 
of  complying  with  King  Wilbain  s  de- 
sire to  make  him  archbishop,  gently 
reminded  him  that  the  time  was  "come 
when  he^  too,  must  practise  that  sub- 
mi:it»ion  which  he  had  so  powerfully 
tried  himself  and  instructed  others  to/ 

How,  with  such  intense  love,  her 
untlinching  uprightness  ^ained  the  vic- 
tory, h  known  only  to  Him  at  whose 
throne  her  devout  spirit  s*ou*rht  *trength 
and  aid.  She  was  aware  that  plans  had 
been  laid  for  his  escape,  even  id  the 
last ;  but,  knowing  that  he  deemed 
them  dangerous  and  likely  to  involve 
other.^,  it  doe^  not  apjjcar  that  she 
troubled  him  with  any  entreaties  to 
avail  himself  of  them;  and  at  her  final 
parting,  the  night  before  the  execu- 
tion, ^he  lell  him  without  allowing  a 
single  sob  of  passion  to  disturb  his 
heavenly  composure.  And  so  she  re- 
turned to  her  home,  hopeless  of  earthly 
relief,  ami  feeling  that  all  her  prayen* 
must  now  be  for  the  future  meeting  in 
that  world  to  which  her  dearest  trea- 
sure was  going, 

A  very  few  days  had  passe^l  after 
the  cruel  event  ere  the  lion  spirit  in 
her  wiL^  iigrtin  aroused  by  a  cruel  attack 
on  his  memory.  The  court  atleeted  to 
believe  that  the  paper  delivered  by 
Lord  Russtdl  to  the  sheriiis  was  not 
his  own.  She  wrote  emphatically  to 
the  King^ 

I  do  tht^refore  buiably  b€g  your  M«- 
jeatj  would  be  so  charitable  to  beliOTc*, 
tbat  be  who  in  all  his  life  was  observed

yoor  Majesty's  l«mg  life  and  happy  reign. 

And  now  we  come  to  the  celebrated 
Letters,  which,  l>eln;r  so  truly  part  of 
licrrielf,  have  piisseii  into  the  catalogue 
of  our  most  precious  private  docu- 
iiient:<.  As  ctmijMuitionMf  we  think  they 
Lave  been  over-rated.  They  arc  often 
confusei],  and  have  by  no  means  the 
eauy  correctness  of  Mrs.  Hutchinson*?. 
Moreover,  they  Hometlmes  provoke  the 
reader  to  a  little  impatience  by  the 
over  deference  which  the  writer  pays 
to  her  Hpiritual  guides.  Dr.  Fitzwd- 
liaui,  an  extremely  honest  man, — one 
whose  non-juring  scruples  afterwards 
occasioned  his  loss  not  merely  of  pre- 
ferment, but  of  the  living  he  was 
actually  hoMing, — having  been  her 
father  s  chajilain,  was  of  course  her 
confidential  friend,  and  conscientiously 
performed  what  lie  thought  his  duty 
by  her.*  ISuthiftlong  sermons  of  con- 
solation ajmear  to  us  anything  but 
soothing.  Always  when  we  light  u(>on 
them  we  are  reminded  of  Milton —

Happily  for  Kiichel  Russell,  these 
"secret  refresliings "  were  her  daily 
and  nightly  portion.  Afterwards  came 
the  outward  calls  of  duty.  Here  is  a 
letter  written  on  the  death  of  the  Earl 
of  Bedford's  wife — the  mother  of  Lord 
Jiusscll. 

I  would  not  choose,  (she  says,  writing 


from  Wobam.)  to  leave  a  good  man  under 
a  new  oppre^idon  of  sorrow,  that  hat  been 
and  is  so  very  tender  to  me.  He  is  a 
stronger  Christian,  and  therefore  does  bis 
duty  in  all  tri^U  better  than  I  can  do  ;  yet 
»inoe  I  may  maintain  thtrre  is  no  compa- 
rison ill  our  Io«»es,  though  it  ti,  I  can 
easily  iM-Iieve,  difficult  parting  from  a 
friend  one  has  lived  easily  with  near  fifty 
years.  Yet  when  it  falls  away,  like  ripe 
fruit  that  must  be  githered,  or  if  it  remain 
banging  some  time  longer  must  become 
insignificant,  sure  it  wants  the  ag^rava- 
tions  of  mine  ever  to  be  lamented  cala- 
mity. But  1  must  not,  you  tell  me,  give 
way,  or  too  much  time,  to  muse,  or  rather 
to  be  a»touished  at  what  has  happened  to 
me.  I  do,  and  truly  think  do  so  sincerely. 
God*s  '*  will  be  done  in  earth  as  it  is  in 
heaven,"  but  the  interrnption  I  find  is  — 
was  this  his  determination— had  we  not  a 
tree  choice  ?  yes  sure  we  had,  but  it  is  as 
sure  He  permitted  it,  and  there  I  must 
rest,  and  meekly  submit  to  this  most 
heavy  dispensation.  I  do  confess,  and 
fear  I  have  not  thankfulness  onlyt  for 
the  blessings  I  have  yet  remaining,  us  if  I 
could  relish  nothing  but  without  that 
sharer  of  my  joys  and  sorrows  ;  but  I  pray 
1  may,  and  in  God*s  own  time,  frhali  be 
heard:  he  will  not  suffer  the  eye  that  waits 
on  him  to  fail,  and  though  he  kill  me,  I 
will  trust  in  him. 

It  was  just  before  this  that  she  went 
for  the  first  time  to  see  the  burial 
place  of  her  husband  :  ^^  1  have  ac- 
compli-shed  it  (she  says)  and  am  not 
the  worsic,  having  satislieil  my  longing 
mind,  and  that  is  a  little  ease,  such 
degrees  as  I  must  look  for.**  In  an- 
other place  she  again  alludes  to  this 
visit. 

Doctor  ((he  writes),  I  had  considered, 
I  went  not  to  seek  the  living  among  the 
dead  ;  I  knew  I  should  not  see  Aim  any 
more  wherever  I  went,  and  had  made  a 
covenant  with  myself  not  to  break  out  in 
unreasonable  fruitless  passion,  but  quicken 
my  contemplation  whither  the  nobler  part 
was  fled,  to  a  country  afar  off,  where  no 
earthly  power  bears  any  sway,  nor  can  put 
an  end  to  a  happy  society.  There  I  would 
willingly  be,  but  we  must  not  limit  our 
time:  1  hope  to  wait  without  imputiency.§

(vol,  11.  p.  IGl),  pleading  for  indul- 
gence to  his  grandson,  under  the  im- 
prudences we  havi?  mentioned,  ia  a 
beautiful  specimen  of  this  wisdom  and 
kiudne&i.  And  when  this  cherished 
son,  now  the  inheritor  by  his  grand* 
fiither*s  decease  of  a  dukedom,  himself 
lay  on  the  betl  of  death,  she  was  there 
too,  the  good  angel  ministering  to  his 
peace  and  comfort. 

Alas  !  (she  writes)  my  dear  Lord  Gal- 
way,  my  thoughts  are  yet  all  disorder, 
coo^sloQ,  and  amazement ;  aad  I  think 
I  am  very  incapable  of  aayiag  or  doing 
what  I  ehould,* 

I  did  not  know  the  greatness  of  my  love 
to  his  person,  till  I  ooutd  see  it  no  more. 
Wheo  nature,  who  will  be  mistrea^  hat  in 
some  measure,  with  time,  relieved  herself, 
then,  and  not  till  then.  I  tru§t  the  Good* 
neaSr  which  hith  do  hound»,  and  whose 
power  is  irresistible,  will  assist  me  by  bis 
grac«  to  rest  conteatod  with  what  bis  un- 
erring providence  ha*  appointed  and  per- 
mitted. And  I  shAll  feel  ease  in  this  con- 
temptation,  that  there  was  nothing  uocom- 
fortaUle  in  his  death,  but  the  loimBi  him. 
His  God  was,  1  verily  believe,  ever  in  bis 
thoughtn.  Towards  bin  last  hours  he  calted 
upon  Him,  and  complained  he  could  not 
pray  his  prayers.  To  what  I  answered, 
he  said,  he  wished  for  more  time  to  make 
up  his  aocounts  with  God.  Then  with 
remembrance  to  his  sisters,  and  telling  me 
how  good  and  kind  his  wife  had  been  to 
him,  and  that  he  should  have  bee  a  glad 
to  have  expressed  himself  to  her,  said 
something  to  me  of  my  doabla  kindness 
to  hia  wife,  and  so  died  away.  There 
seemed  do  relactancy  to  leave  this  world, 
patient  and  easy  the  whole  time,  and  I 
believe  knew  bis  danger,  but  loth  to  grieve 
those  by  him,  delayed  what  he  might  have 
said.  Bat  why  all  this  ?  The  decree  is 
past,  I  do  not  ask  your  prayers ;  I  know 
jou  offer  them  with  s'mcerity  to  our  Al- 
mighty God  for

Other  trials  were  hers.  Blindness, 
from  which  she  was  relieved  by  couch* 
ing;  then  the  death  of  one  of  hor 
dautjhters,  the  Duchess  of  Rutland,  in 
child-bed.    This  last  most  sad  event 


'  To  this  affiictioD  succeeded,  six  months  alter,  the  loss  of  her  daughter,  th«  Duchess 

Rutland,  who  died  in  child -bed.     Lady  Russell,  after  seeing  her  in  the  eoffin,  went 

»  her  other  daughter,  married  to  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  from  whom  it  was  necessary 

'la  conceal  her  grief,  she  being  at  that  time  in  child-bed  likewise  ;  therefore  she  assumed 

a  cheerful  air,  and,  with  astonishing  resolotioo,  yet  agreeably  to  truth,  answered  her 

aniioos  daughter's  inquiries  with  these  words — **  I  have  seen  your  sister  out  of  bed 

today."

The  Galway  Brooch, 


[Feb. 


occarred  in  the  month  of  Oct.  1711. 
LmIj  Kuascll  survived  it  thirteen  more 
years,  and  closed  her  own  unsullied 
life,  in  her  87th  year,  Sept.  29,  1723. 
Of  those  whose  avocations  now  lead 
them  through  Bloomsbury  Square  few 
perhaps  know  or  remember,  though 
little  more  than  half  a  century  has 
passed  since  its  demolition,  that  on  its 
northern  side  once  stood  the  princely 
mansion  where  Lord  William  and  Lady 
Rachel  Russell  lived,  and  where  the 
widowed  and  long  mourning  woman 
jrielded  up  her  breath.  The  vignette 
m  the  title  of  these  volumes  shows  it 
to  have  been  a  stately  palace- like 
structure,  with  noble  trees  on  each 
side,  and  open  terrace  before,  where 
now  the  blackened  statue  of  Fox  sits 
looking  towards  the  desecrated  spot 
The  ground-plan  shows  also  that  it  was 


open  to  fields  and  country  behind.  In 
1759,  Gray,  writing  from  the  imme- 
diate neighbourhood,  Southampton 
Row,  speaks  of  the  pleasant  Bedford 
Grardens,  and  the  ilampstead  and 
Highgate  views  bevond.  Southamp- 
ton House  (latterly  callefl  Bedford 
House,  and  pulled  down  in  1800)  was 
one  of  those  monuments  of  the  past  to 
the  loss  of  which  nothing  can  recon- 
cile us.  The  design,  we  are  told,  was 
given  by  Inigo  Jones.  How  ill  do 
squares  and  modern  streets,  and  Eli- 
zabethan fancies,  replace  one  such 
true  historical  monument  as  this ! 

In  the  vault  of  the  Russells  at 
Chenies,  Buckinghamshire,  by  the  side 
of  her  husband,  after  their  forty  years' 
separation,  rest  the  remains  of  Rachel 
Russell.  There  let  them  lie  till  the

THE  GALWAY  BROOCH. 


OUR  antiquarian  friends,  and  we 
may  add  our  fair  friends,  are  now  fa- 
miliar with  the  forms  of  some  of  the 
elegant  antique  brooches  which  have 
been  discovered  in  Ireland  :  so  many 
beautiful  copies  of  which  have  been 
made  by  modern  jewellers,  particularly 
by  the  nouses  of  West  and  Waterhouse 
of  Dublin.  They  could  scarcely  be 
overlooked  among  the  multifarious 
treasures  of  the  Great  Exhibition  of 
1851  ;  and  of  last  year*s  Exhibition  at 
Dublin  they  formed  a  very  interesting 
feature,  where  they  appeared  in  juxta- 


position with  most  of  the  originals. 
We  have  now  the  pleasure  to  exhibit 
to  our  readers  a  representation  of  a 
newly  -  discovered  Antique  Brooch, 
which  was  found  only  in  June  last, 
near  the  town  of  Galway,  and  has  con- 
sequently been  named  The  Galwat 
Brooch.  It  is  of  silver,  jewelled  with 
ambers ;  and  is  now  in  the  possession 
of  Edward  Uoare,  esq.  of  Cork,  who 
has  favoured  us  with  the  following  ac- 
count of  his  acquisition  of  this  anti- 
quarian treasure : — 

*'  Owing  to  the  Dublin  Exhibition 


*  We  liave  left  ourselves  no  room  to  do  jastice  to  the  letter  wc  had  referred  to, 
"to  her  Children.*'  Some  few  striking  passages,  by  way  of  specimen,  shall  here  be 
given : — **  And  now,  my  child,  believe  your  mother,  there  is  nothing  now  in  this  world 
can  touch  me  very  sorely  but  my  children's  concerns  (bating  religion)  ;  aud»  although 
I  love  your  bodies  but  too  well,  yet  if  my  heart  deceive  me  not  'tit  as  nothing  in  com- 

Earison  of  your  more  precious  souls.  When  I  have  the  least  jealousy  that  any  of  you 
ave  ill  inclinations,  or  not  so  good  as  I  would  gladly  have  them,  or  fear  that  you 
tread  though  never  so  little  out  of  the  right  path,  O,  how  it  pierces  my  soul  in  fear  and 
anguish  for  yours  !  If  you  love  or  bear  any  respect  for  the  memory  of  your  father,  do 
not  endanger  a  separation  from  him  and  me  in  the  next  life.  But  infinitely  above  all 
other  argument  is  this ;  that  we  should  not  be  ungrateful  to  that  God  that  made  us  and 
preserves  us. — made  us  be  born  into  this  world,  that  we  might  be  capable  of  a  life  to  all 
Eternity,  where  innocence  and  happiness  last  for  ever.  To  this  place  of  joy  and  bliss 
this  is  our  passage,  and  is  to  some  a  more  rugged  than  'tis  to  others,  for  wise  ends,  by 
Providence  hid  from  us  now  ;  but,  when  we  shall  have  put  off  these  tabernacles  of  clay, 
our  clarified  spirits  shall  then  understand,  and  admire,  adore,  and  love,  the  wisdom  and 
power  and  love  of  God  to  his  creatures.  How  lovely  will  the  beauty  of  Providence  be  to 
us  then,  though  now  that  we  see  but  the  dark  side  of  the  cloud  'tis  often  very  black  and 
gloomy  to  us.  Remember,  my  child,  and  often  turn  in  your  mind  all  God's  benetiu  as 
fir  as  you  are  able  to  recount  them;  remember  his  sending  his  Son  to  die  for  our  sakes, — 
his  leaving  us  an  example  bow  we  should  lead  our  lives.*' 


last  yenTy  I  was  re^idept  all  the  summer 
and  autumn  in  Dublin,  occusionully 
tjiJcto^  little  unliquarian  toure,  iluring 
one  of  wbich,  last  August,  I  met  with 
till*  mtt*regttnjr  relic.  It  was  disco- 
vered in  the  latter  part  cil'  the  iitoiith 
of  June,  in  removiog  from  a  field,  ihr 
the  purpose  of  **  top-dressin;;/'  a  lar^^e 
mound  of  earthy  which  had  evidently 
been  the  remnants  of  a  tumulus.  The 
brooch  fell  into  the  hands  of  a  Gothic 
watchmaker,  who,  not  knowing  whiit 
kind  of  metal  it  was  (for  it  la  iiuite 
hlack,  with  a  tine  encrusted  oxide), 
broke  the  pin  f*ortiorj  into  three  part^i 
and  took  out  the  ambers,  supposmg 
them  to  be  valuable  jewels,  bhortly 
after,  I  came  across  it  and  purchased  it, 
and  had  the  pin  carefully  repaired  and 
the  amberH  reset.  The  ornamentation 
of  the  wolves'  heads  (for  I  believe  them 
to  be  sueh^  is,  if  so,  of  great  interest. 
I  do  not  know  certainly,  as  you  ask 
me,*  if  wolves*  heads  are  found  in  any 
oiher  oniaments  of  the  same  period. 
I  believe  not ;  but  we  read,  all  tfirough 
the  annals  of  Ireland,  that  it  was  over- 
run with  wolves;  and  that  the  Irish 
wolf*dog  was  used  for  the  purpose  of 
their  extermination,  is  well  known.  We 
need  not  therefore  be  astonished  that 
an  animal  so  common  and  so  feared 
fibould  be  made  the  subject  of  orna- 
mentation, and,  if  so,  it  rnny  in  some 
itieiuure  assist  in  proving  that  the 
Ofnii  Hibernicum  was  really  and  in 
fact  the  work  of  Irish  artilieers.     This 


U  a  aubjeet  questioned,  and  1  would 
therefore  like  to  have  this  brooch  made 
use  of  in  support  of  the  argument* 
A  Irieud  and  relative  of  my  own,  on  ac- 
count of  the  ambers,  thinks  it  of  Scan- 
dinavian workmanship,  and  that  the 
Iieads  are  tbose  of  the  ^'^urse  whale,  or 
scab  This  I  cannot  say,  as  I  am  not 
skilled  in  zoology,  neither  do  1  know 
the  ajjpearance  of  that  animal ;  but  I 
think  It  right  to  mention  the  idea  to 
you.  I  think  also  the  arnin<zement  of 
the  heads  has  been  borrowed  from  the 
trefoil.,  or  shamrock^  Ireland's  national 
emblem,  though  such  may  be  perhaps 
doubtful.  The  brooch  itself,  as  you 
well  know,  is  one  of  great  rarity,  and 
the  more  so  in  .?i7»er,  very  few  being 
known  of  that  metal.  They  are  more 
known  in  bronze  than  any  other  oietal, 
and  the  celebratLMl  Tiira  brooch  is  of 
white  bronze.  The  penannular  torm 
has  been  generally  c<msidered  as  pe- 
culiar to  Ireland  and  Scotland,  though 
an  example  or  two  of  such  have  been 
found  in  England.  The  workmanship 
of  my  brooch  is  very  elegant-,  and  the 
ornamentation  -v^ry  cleverly  executed. 
The  back  portion  is  perfectly  plain. 
The  silver  js  much  alloyed,  and,  trom 
its  long  burial  in  the  earth,  has  become 
quite  brittle.  The  spot  where  it  was 
found  is  in  county  Galway,  about  three 
miles  from  the  town  of  Galway,  in  a 
south-easterly  direction .  I  have  there- 
fore  termed  it  ^  The  Qulway  Brooch.'^ 


•  We  bad  cntertaiord  some  doubts  as  to  the  Identity  of  the  wolves'*  heads,  imagininj^ 
that  the  figure*  rather  resembled  bats.  We  expressed  our  donhis  to  Mr.  Hoare,  and 
the  above  ia  his  reply, — Edit.

THE  Greek  version  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, which  commonlj  passes  under 
the  name  of  the  Septuagint,  forms  the 
biblical  link  between  Judaism  and 
Christianity.  It  is  the  public  evidence 
of  providential  design  in  preparing  the 
world  for  the  advent  of  tne  Kedecmer. 
Empires  have  passed  awaj,  the  con- 
quests of  Alexander  and  the  thrones 
of  the  Ptolemies  are  no  more ;  but  that 
record  endures  for  which  Alexander 
conquered  and  the  Ptolemies  reigned. 
The  pharos  of  Alexandria  still  dinuses 
its  imperishable  lustre.  It  originallj 
conducted  the  more  candid  and  in- 
quiring amongst  the  Jews  and  Gen- 
tiles, to  the  vestibule  of  the  Christian 
temple.  It  enabled  the  Hellenistic 
Jews,  scattered  over  every  part  of 
the  East,  to  become  the  heralds  and 
forerunners  of  the  Grospel.  It  trans- 
planted the  Old  Testament  from  the 
Hebraic  stereotype,  intelligible  only  to 
the  worshipper  at  Jerusalem,  into  that 
cursive  letter,  which  has  run  into  all 
lands,  and  which  has  sounded  to  the 
ends  of  the  world.  Its  voice  was  heard 
even  where  its  pages  were  never  read. 
Its  echoes  toned  upon  the  citadel  of 
Rome,  and  reached  the  court  of  Augus- 
tus. It  was  whispered  that  some  great 
prince  or  deliverer  was  about  to  ap- 
pear. These  whispers  were  conveyed 
Dv  the  Alexandrian  version  of  the  Old 
Testament. 

Amongst  the  presumptive  evidence 
for  the  truth  of  Christianity  from  its 
connection  with  the  records  of  profane 
history,  there  is  nothing  more  calcu- 
lated to  produce  honest  and  impartial 
conviction,  than  a  calm  and  compre- 
hensive survey  of  the  origin,  progress, 
and  effects  of  this  mighty  machine,  for 
the  instruction  of  the  peoples,  whether 
ancient  or  modern.  Its  agency  com- 
menced soon  afler  the  deau  of  AJex- 


ander.  Of  his  mighty  conquests,  Egypt 
fell  to  the  lot  of  the  Ptolemies,  a 
dynasty  remarkably  devoted  to  the 
encouragement  of  literature.  It  was 
to  grace  the  library  of  Alexandria  that 
this  version  was  professedly  undertaken. 
Callimachus,  the  poet,  was  the  chief 
librarian. 

The  designs  of  Providence,  which 
are  genendly  so  obscure  and  mysteri- 
ous, that  it  is  presumptuous  to  even 
attempt  their  interpretation,  were  here 
so  clear  and  transparent,  that  ^  he  who 
runs  may  read  them.**  It  is  therefore 
not  surprising,  that  the  learned  trans- 
lators of  our  English  Bible  should  have 
intimated  their  conviction,  that  the 
heart  of  Ptolemy  was  divinely  influ- 
enced to  favour  the  re<)uest  of  his 
Jewish  subjects.  The  maxims  of  sound 
policy  would  also  contribute  their  co- 
operation. 

The  period  selected  was  exactly 
fitted  to  the  design.  It  was  about  an 
equal  distance  from  the  great  disper- 
sion of  the  Jews  by  the  Babylonish 
captivity,  and  the  coming  of  Messias. 
It  was  adjacent  to  those  conquests 
which  had  brought  the  East  and  West 
into  one  focus.  The  learning  and  lite- 
rature of  Grreece  were  now  associated 
with  the  learning  and  literature  of 

Trhe  peculiar  idiom  of  this  version 
forms  tne  incontestable  proof  of  its 
authenticity.  None  but  Jews  could 
have  written  it,  and  few  but  Jews  could 
thoroughly  understand  it.  The  phrase- 
oloffT  is  Hebrew,  whilst  the  language 
is  Greek.  Had  it  been  composed  m 
pure  and  classic  Greek,  its  authenticity 
would  have  been  dubious,  and  its  value 
demolished.  It  would  have  resembled 
the  version  of  Castalio,  as  compared 
with  the  Latin  vulgate,  or  that  of  Beza. 
It  could  then  never  have  co-operated

with  the  intentions  of  Providence,  It 
couM  not  have  formed  the  leiulerf  the 
guide,  the  conductor  to  the  New  Testa- 
incnt< 

The  chief  difficulty  in  the  tradition 
uf  anj  ductrinalf  or,  a5  the  GernmuKt 
love  to  call  it,  dogmatic^  religioot  con- 
tUts  in  the  exact  transmission  of  doc- 
Irinid  tvrma.     We  all  know  the  endless 

•  disputes  which  have  taken  place  in  the 
Eaateru    and  Western  Churches,   re- 

\  ip**cting  the  precise  scriptural  import 
ore$uch  terms  as  righUtyuxneHS,  jitstifiea' 
tio%  tUonemetU^  &c.  This  arises  partly 
frum  their  com[)osite  sijjnificutiont  con- 
sisting^ as  they  do,  of  what  Locke  calls 
mixftd  nn)de4^  or  comph'j:  idcax.  But 
it  is  still  further  aggravated  by  the 
novelty  of  meaning  which  is  incltided 
under  old  expressions.  Now,  it  was  to 
meet  thisditOculty^  in  the  transniission 
of  a  written  revelation,  that  it  was 
wisely  ordered  that  the  very  same  terms 
which  are  emplojed  In  the  New  Tes- 
t;mient  to  express  its  peculiar  doctrines, 
should  have  neen  translated  from  Ile- 
into  Greek  by  Hellenistic  Jews, 
\  before  the  Christian  era,  and  should 
,  be  MJopted  by  Christy  his  Evan- 
geliMs  and  Apostles,  to  ratify  their  own 
credentials. 

Let  us  imagine  the  absence  of  the 
Septuagint — that  the  New  Testament 
had  been  based  in  its  style  and  phrase- 
ology immediately  upon  the  Hebrew 
of  the  Old,  without  any  intermediate 
Interpretation,  Tliis  kind  of  Greek 
would  have  appeared  like  a  broken 
jargon — a  Babylonish  dialect.  It  would 
have  been  "  darkness  visible."  Yet  a 
fi^  more  serious  difficulty  would  have 
followed.  The  Scribes  and  Pharisees, 
the  doctors  and  teachers  of  the  law, 
would  have  protested  against  this  novel 
and  unheard-of  interjiretation  of  He- 
brew words.  This  difficulty  would 
have  been  felt  as  almost  insurmount- 
able ;  for  who  could  be  supposed  such 
gooil  judges,  it  would  have  been  said, 
of  the  meaning  of  Hebrew  terms  as 
Jews,  who  were  constantly  and  oificlalty 
engnged  in  their  study  ? 

The  wiwlora  of  Divine  Providence 
anticipate^l  the  difficulty,  and  provided 
the  remedy.  By  scattering  tlie  Jews 
far  and  wide  amongst  the  Gentiles, 
who(se  common  me<liura  of  commercial 
int^course  in  the  East  was  in  Greek, 
more  or  less  tainted  with  their  native 
dialecta,  it  brought  about  amongst  them 


that  peculiar  phraseology,  which  we 
term  the  Hellenistic  dialect,  and  which 
is  so  well  adapted  to  convey  the  exact 
imjHDrt  of  the  Hebrew  original.  It 
thus  not  only  rendered  the  preaching 
and  doctrines  of  the  apoiitlos  univer- 
sally intelligible  throughout  Greece 
and  Asia  ]Mmor,  and  the  shores  of  the 
Mediterranean,  and  thus  contributed 
to  the  rapid  spread  of  Christianity  on 
its  first  publication  ;  but  it  has  authen- 
ticated Its  claims  as  a  genuine  docu- 
ment, written  by  Hellenistic  Jews,  and 
written  in  that  age  and  country  to 
which  alone  it  can  be  satisfactorily 
ascribed. 

We  should  really  apologise  for  these 
self-evident  observations,  if  the  preju- 
dices of  ProtestanliJ,  and  the  opposition 
of  classical  purists,  had  not,  in  a  great 
measure,  blinded  our  scholars  and 
divines  to  the  reul  character  and  claims 
of  the  Septuagint  version.  Instead  of 
hailing  with  gratitude  this  great  me- 
dium of  intercourse  between  the  Olrl 
and  New  Testament,  it  has  been  the 
business  and  delight  of  many  to  mag- 
nify the  discrepancies  which  exist  be- 
tween the  version  and  the  original,  and 
to  represent  the  study  of  the  LXX. 
OS  derogatory  to  the  dignity  of  the 
Hebrew  text.  Others  have  affected 
to  smile  at  the  improprieties  of  its  dic- 
tion, and  to  tremble  at  the  solecisms  of 
its  expressions.  Like  Bembo,  afruid 
of  corrupting  the  purity  of  his  Latinity 
by  the  study  of  the  Vulgate,  they  forego 
the  knowledge  and  delight  of  compa- 
ring the  Hellenistic  with  the  Hebrew, 
lest  it  should  taint  their  Attic  purity, 
or  spoil  their  immaculate  iambict. 

It  might  have  been  supposed  that 
the  sanction  of  the  New  Testament, 
the  overwhelming  majority  of  its  Sep- 
tuagintal  quotations,  and  the  continu- 
ous incorporation  of  its  words  and 
idioms,  would  have  prevented,  or  si- 
lenced, such  perilous  and  unreasonable 
prejudices.  But  the  fact  remains  in- 
dubitable and  uncontradicted,  that  the 
study  of  the  Septuagint  does  not  engage 
the  attention  of  our  schools  or  colleges. 
The  late  eminent  Dr.  Arnold  intro- 
duced it  amongst  the  seniors  at  Rugby, 
but  it  has  been  since  withdrawn.  So 
little  care  and  attention  have  been  paid 
to  bringing  out  a  pure  and  uninterpo- 
lated  edition  of  the  LXX.  that  no  such 
edition  has  appeared  since  the  days  of 
Bishop  Pearson.     There  is,  we  repeat.

The  Sepiuagint 


[Feb. 


no  recent  edition,  except  Bag8ter*8 
Poljglot,  that  has  not  incorporated  the 
large  mass  of  apocr;^phal  matter  in  the 
book  of  Esther,  which  is  found  in  an 
English  Bible  under  the  name  of  ^  The 
restofEsther.** 

It  is  the  misfortune  of  the  Septua- 
gint,  that  its  MSB.  from  the  earliest 
f^res  of  Christianity,  if  not  before  the 
Christian  era,  should  have  been  con- 
taminated with  those  apocryphal  addi- 
tions and  interpolations  wnich  con- 
tinue to  deform  its  pases.  It  was 
this  mixture  of  base  alloy  with  the 
pure  Wonl  of  God,  which  led  so  many 
of  the  ancient  Fathers  into  loose  and 
indistinct  notions  respecting  the  scrip- 
tural canon.  Theauthority  of  theLXX. 
was  so  great  in  the  Primitire  Church, 
that  its  admixture  of  the  Word  of 
God  with  the  word  of  man  lent  an 
authority  to  writings,  which  they  could 
never  otherwise  have  attained.  The 
Church  of  Rome  and  the  Eastern 
Church  encouraged  this  love  of  the 
apocryphal  boolu,  as  favourable  to 
many  of  their  errors  and  superstitions. 
Hence  it  was,  that  the  Septuagint  Daniel 
was  expelled  to  admit  that  of  Theo- 
dotion.  But  when  the  light  of  the 
Reformation  had  disjiellcd  this  i^o- 
rance,  an  undue  prejudice  remamed 
m  the  eyes  of  Protestants  against  the 
Septuagint,  as  if  it  had  really  contained 
these  iipocryphal  writings,  and  as  if 
they  had  originally  formed  part  of 
the  Greek  Ohl  Testament.  This  pre- 
judice was  still  further  aggravated  by 
the  absurd  attempt  of  the  Uomanists 
to  exalt  its  value  by  a  depreciation  of 
the  Hebrew  original.  Hence  the  Pro- 
testants tun)e<l  into  the  opposite  ex- 
treme, and  strove  to  disparage  the 
version.  It  remains  for  the  gooa  sense 
and  discretion  of  the  present  age  to 
mediate  between  these  opposites,  and 
to  place  the  original  and  version  in 
their  pro]>er  and  relative  attitude. 
But  this  can  never  be  accomplished, 
till  we  rid  the  Septuagint  of  its  inter- 
polations, and  reduce  it  strictly  to  its 
original  dimensions,  by  brinf^ing  it 
into  correspondence  with  the  Hebrew 
text 

As  it  is  the  first  duty  of  every  editor 
to  lecnre  a  pure  and  unadulterated 
text,  had  the  editors  of  the  LXX. 
as  sound  and  judicious  critics, 
"outd  at  once  have  expelled  all 
oiu  matter  not  belonging  to 


the  version,  whether  incorporated 
with  the  text,  or  interspersed  as  dis- 
tinct compilations.  The  title  should 
have  reminded  them  of  their  duty,  *H 
nAAAIA  AIAOHKH  KATA  T0Y2 
'EBAOMHKONTA.  The  text  could 
comprehend  neither  more  or  less  than 
the  Old  Testament  The  books  were 
to  follow  in  the  same  order  as  the 
Hebrew  original.  But,  instead  of 
adopting  this  plain  and  self-evident 
course,  they  became  servile  copyists 
of  all  the  errors  and  interpolations  of 
their  MSS.  This  is  just  as  absurd  as 
if  the  editors  of  the  New  Testament 
bad  added  the  epistle  of  Clemens  Ro- 
manus,  because  it  is  oflen  appended  to 
the  New  Testament  MSS.  Some  apo- 
lopy  may  be  found  for  the  traditions 
of  the  Greek  and  Romish  Churches, 
but  it  cannot  extend  to  Protestant 
editions  of  the  LXX.  Much  less  can 
it  be  offered  on  behalf  of  English  Uni- 
versities or  of  religious  societies  iden- 
tified with  the  Enjzlish  Church.  We 
have  the  canon  of  Scripture  distinctly 
laid  down  in  our  Articles,  and  exhi- 
bited in  an  authorised  English  Bible. 
It  is  not  an  open  question,  whether 
we  may  follow  that  prescribed  by  our 
Reformers  or  select  tnose  of  the  Eastern 
or  Western  Church.  As  members  of 
the  Church  of  England,  we  are  bound 
to  conform  to  the  canon  of  Scripture 
laid  down  in  the  Sixth  Article.  Tlie 
traditions  of  Greece  or  Rome  cannot 
absolve  us  from  our  prescribed  duty. 

It  would  be  difficult,  if  not  impos- 
sible, to  ascertain  the  exact  period 
when  these  additionals  to  Esther  were 
incorporated  with  the  LXX.  version, 
or  to  discover  the  source  from  whence 
they  are  derived.  Certain  it  is,  they 
are  so  found  in  all  the  MSS.  collated 
by  Holmes  and  Parsons,  and  that 
Cfrigen  found  them  in  his  MSS.  for  he 
has  distinguished  them  by  obeli  (+)  to 
point  out  their  apocryphal  character. 
He  does  not  ap])ear  to  have  inserteil 
them  in  the  Hexapla.  The  correspond- 
ing column  of  the  Hebrew  woulu  for- 
bid their  introduction.  They  existed 
in  the  old  Italic  version,  but  Jerome 
excluded  them  from  his  translation. 
The  Vulgate  exhibits  them  at  the  close 
of  Esther  and  Daniel.  It  is  only  jus- 
tice, however,  to  the  Romanists  to 
admit,  they  are  always  distinctly 
pointed  out  to  the  reader,  as  not  being 
in  the  original  text,  "  iVbii  est  in  He^

i-esent  day,    except   in   a   very   few 

ditions,  viz.  those  of  Daniel,  Loudon, 

1653  ;  Pearson^  1658»  1665, 1685  \  and 

the  Amst.  edit,  1083,    With  these  raVe 


exceptions,  no  pure  and  uncontami- 
nnted  edition  of  the  LXX.  has  been 
hitherto  published. 

We  are  irresistibly  led  by  this  re- 
mark to  advert  to  that  edition  of  the 
LXX.  which  appears  at  the  bead  of 
this  article.  It  is  an  edition  printed 
at  the  expense  of  "The  Society  for 
Promoting  Christian  Knowletlge,"  to 
supply  the  wants  of  the  clergy  in 
the  Greek  Church,  and  to  be  diatri- 
buted  amongst  them  gratuitously. 
The  design  was  praiseworthy,  noble, 
and  beneficent,  and  we  can  only  la- 
ment that  its  execution  should  have 
been  so  faulty  and  imperfect,  or,  as 
some  would  say,  so  mtsehievous  and 
hazardous. 

The  first  precaution  which  should 
have  been  adopted,  was  to  secure  n 
text  free  from  those  apocryphal  inter- 
polations, which,  from  the  earliest  ages, 
hflfl  deformed  the  canon  of  the  Eastern 
Church.  For  this  end,  a  copy  of  the 
Moscow  edition,  which  **  The  Sacred 
Synod  of  the  kingdom  of  Greece"  pro- 
posed as  their  exemplar,  should  have 
been  transmitted  to  the  Board  in  Lron- 
don.  Those  important  violatiotis  of 
our  own  Prote^jtant  canon  of  Scrip- 
ture, which  we  shall  presently  notice, 
would  then  have  been  at  once  appa- 
rent, and  an  injunction  should  have 
been  laid  against  their  appearance  in 
the  forthcoming  edition  ot  the  Chris- 
tian Knowledge  Society. 

Instead  of  this  safe  and  business-like 
method  of  dealing  with  the  unknown 
and  irresponsible  Synod  of  Attica,  it 
would  appear,  that  it  was  only  genenillt/ 
stated  that  the  apocryphal  books  should 
be  printed  apart,  at  the  end  of  the 
canonical ;  but  no  care  was  taken  to 
exclude  the  apocryphal  matter,  which, 
from  time  immemorial,  had  been  in- 
corporated with  the  text  of  Esther  and 
Daniel.  Still,  as  this  edition  was  no 
less  than  seven  years  in  passing  through 
the  press,  ample  time  and  opportunity 
were  afforded  to  "  The  Committee  of 
Foreign  Translation,'*  for  correcting 
their  first  error,  by  noticing  these 
apocryphal  interpolations  as  they  pe- 
riudicahy  appeared.  The  first  volume 
wjis  completed  in  1843,  the  second  in 
1846,  the  third  in  184^,  and  the  fourth, 
containing  distinct  apocryphal  bjwks, 
in  1850.  As  it  was  in  the  second 
volume,  that  the  large  mass  of  apocry- 
phal matter  appears,  which  is  described

7%^  Septuagint 


[Feb. 


by  our  translators  "  The  rest  of  the 
chapters  of  the  Book  of  Esther,  which 
are  found  neither  in  the  Hebrew  nor 
in  the  Chaldee,"  no  less  than  three 
jears  were  allowed  for  remonstrating 
with  the  Synod,  before  the  arrival  of 
the  concluding  volume.  It  does  not 
appear  that  anj  such  remonstrance 
was  made,  and  the  Synod  went  forward 
without  any  rebuke. 

The  manner  in  which  these  apocry- 
phal additions  to  Esther  are  blended 
with  the  original  text  renders  them 
peculiarly  dangerous  and  obnoxious. 
The  first  chapter  begins  with  the  second 
yerse  of  our  Apocrypha.  It  is  not 
distinguished  by  oheli^  as  in  Origen^s 
edition,  ))ublished  by  Ussher.  The 
next  portion  occurs  in  chap,  iii.,  com- 
mencmg  at  verse  13,  and  having  two 
canonical  verses  at  the  end.  Chap.  iv. 
consists  of  about  half  and  half.  Chap.  v. 
the  like.  Smaller  striM  are  inter- 
woven with  chap.  vi.  In  chap.  viii. 
we  have  that  lon^  concluding  portion, 
which  is  found  m  chap.  xvi.  in  our 
Apocrypha.  Chap.  x.  is  altogether 
apocryphal,  after  tne  first  three  verses. 
— It  thus  becomes  very  difiicult  to  dis- 
criminate between  the  canonical  and 
uncanonical  divisions.  Such  is  the 
style  of  all  the  editions  of  Esther  which 
have  appeared  in  England  or  the  con- 
tinent, tor  the  last  200  years. 

Yet,  whilst  these  interpolations  of 
Esther  are  uniformly  the  same,  they 
differ  much  in  the  Book  of  Daniel. 
Thus,  in  some  editions,  *^  Susanna  ** 
begins,  and  ^^Bel  and  the  Dragon** 
conclude;  in  others,  they  form  two 
distinct  chapters,  and  thus  increase  the 
chapters  from  xii.  to  xiv.  So  ^  The 
Song  of  the  Three  Children**  and  "  The 
Fhiyer  of  Azarias  **  are  sometimes  in- 
corporated with  Daniel,  and  in  others 
found  apart.  This  shifUng  plainly  dis- 
covers their  uncanonical  origin,  and 
that  they  were  transferred  from  place 
to  place  at  the  caprice  of  the  copyists. 

At  the  end  of  the  Psalms,  vol.  iii. 
pp.  1051 — 1064,  is  introduced  a  large 
body  of  supplement,  consistingof  four- 
teen prayers  and  hymns.  The  first 
seyen  are  portions  of  the  canonical 
books,  such  as  The  Song  of  Moses, 
The  IVmyer  of  Hannah,  of  Esaias,  of 
JoBah,  &c.;  but  at  No.  8  they  de- 


yiate  into  confessed  apocrypha.  We 
have  "The  Prayer  of  Manasses,**  of 
Azarias,  and  of  the  Three  Children. 
We  next  arrive  at  hymns  and  prayers, 
selected  from  the  New  Testamen  t.  The 
first  is  the  Magnificat^  headed  with  the 
ominous  title  nPOSEYXH  miopias  rr^s 
6wt6kov.*  Next  follow  those  of  Si- 
meon and  Zacharias.  The  whole  con- 
cludes with  the  'YMN02  ca>diKc(£,  which 
is  partly  incorporated  with  our  sacra- 
mental service.  These  interpolations, 
as  Grabe  has  observed,  arose  from  the 
custom  of  certain  colleges  in  Egypt  to 
sing  and  chaunt  these  hymns  and  psalms 
in  their  public  worship,  whence  they 
were  transferred  into  the  Alexandrian 
MSS.  of  the  LXX.  The  i^orance 
of  former  ages  may  have  pleaded  as  an 
apology  for  their  being  thrust  into  the 
sacred  canon ;  but  such  ignorance,  it 
is  hoped,  can  now  no  longer  be  pleaded, 
even  by  the  "  Sacred  Synod**  of  Athens. 
At  any  rate,  it  forms  no  plea  for  their 
being  printed  and  published  with  the 
sanction  of  the  Church  of  England. 

As  to  the  objectionable  title  before 
the  Magnificat^  it  is  only  the  ordinary 
language  of  the  Greek  Church  in  their 
addresses  to  the  Virgin,  which  are 
<|uite  as  frequent  and  unscriptural  as 
in  the  Church  of  Rome.  Whoever 
will  look  into  "Smith*s  Account  of  the 
Greek  Church,**  will  be  at  no  loss  to 
discover   the  same  language  in  their 

{mblic  and  private  devotions.  We  se- 
ect  the  following  out  of  many : — "  In 
Thee,  O  Mother  of  God  (Bcotokc), 
have  I  put  all  my  trust.  Save  me  by 
Thy  intercession,  and  grant  me  pardon 
of  my  sins.**  P.  233.  "O,  blessed 
Mother  of  God  (9coro«cc),  open  to  us 
the  gate  of  Thy  mercy.  Let  not  us, 
who  hope  in  Thee,  err;  but  let  us  be 
delivered  from  all  dangers  by  Thee, 
for  Thou  art  the  safety  of  all  Chris- 
tians.**— UniL 

Again,  we  must  remonstrate  with 
"  The  Committee  of  Foreign  Transla- 
tion,** for  allowing  this  extraneous  and 
uncanonical  matter  to  be  inserted  in 
any  edition  of  the  Greek  Bible  pub- 
lished under  their  auspices,  and  pro- 
vided at  the  expense  of  the  .Society's 
funds.  It  is  in  vain  to  urge  they  ap- 
r  in  Grabe,  they  are  found  in  all 
MSS.  of  the  Eastern  Church,  they

But  we  are  unwillingly  ohlige<l  to 
notice  still  more  important  deviations 
from  our  Protestant  canon.  We  are 
shocked  to  find,  that  the  first  chapter 
and  first  Tistoti  of  Daniel  consists  of 
the  apocryphal,  and  not  very  edify iuff, 
book  of  "Susanna  and  the  Elders;*' 
whilst  the  Imtt  chapter  and  the  twellth

Now-j  when  it  is  remembered  that  the 
Greek  Church  venerates  t  he  S«f  |>tu:i«Tin  t

andrian version  as  equivalent  to  the 
original,  we  are  sure  we  speak  the 
language  of  every  sincere  Protestant, 
that  these  are  great  and  grievous 
offences  against  our  biblical  canon. 
It  is  but  a  few  years  since  the  Athe- 
nian Oiconomo9,  the  most  celebrated 
of  their  modern  divines,  comiKtsed  an 
elaborate  work  in  four  volumes  to 
establish  the  inspiration  of  the  LXX, ; 
whilst  the  "Sacred  Synod"  in  their

Testament  that  was  accessible  to  be- 
lievers*  It  was  from  the  LXX.  tliat 
all  the  Fathers,  with  the  exeeptinn  of 
Origen,  flrew  their  knowledge  <>f  Muses 
and  the  Prophtjts,  till  the  time  of 
Jerome.  Such  a  book  demands,  not 
only  our  reverence  and  esteem,  but 
our  labour  and  study  to  preserve  it  in 
all  intei^ity.  It  is  the  same  insult 
to  add  *' Susanna,*'  or  "Bel  and  the 
Dragon,"  to  the  Greek  of  Daniel,  as  it 
would  be  to  print  some  fictitious  rabbi- 
nical story  in  the  Hebrew  canon*  It 
is  derogatory  to  the  character  of  our 
Universities,  that  they  should  have  so 
long  intermingled  the  apocryphal,  with 
the  canonical  parts  of  E^tther.  Such 
an  edition  (IH4K)  has  been  recently 
published  at  the  Clarendon  Press.  But 
it  is  still  more  painful  to  reflect, 
tlmt  the  book  which  emplnyed  the 
lemMiing  of  Mede,  which  exercised  the 
genius  of  Sir  Isaac  Newton  and  the 
good  sense  of  his  episcopal  namesake, 
which  forms  the  basis  of  prophetic 
hope,  of  loillennial  expectation, — that 
this  book  ahould  have  been  printed 
and  published  at  the  expense  ol  ""^  The 
Society  for  Promoting Chrrstinn  Know- 
ledge,' with  the  head  of  "Susanna," 
and  the  tail  of  **  the  Dragon." 

The  best  atonement  which  the 
Society  can  now  offer  for  this  unfor- 
tunate transaction  is  to  publish  forth- 
with a  pure  and  portable  edition  of 
the  Alexandrian  text  of  the  LXX. 
and  to  substitute  it,  as  far  as  jmssible, 
in  the  place  of  this  corrupt  edition. 
We  think  also  that  some  explanation 
should  be  given  of  the  dubious  con- 
duct of  their  correspondents  at  Athens. 
It  could  scarcely  have  been  exi>eeted, 
that  the  ancient  '*  Grnjcia  mendax" 
should  have  found  such  legitimate 
descendants  amongst  the  members  of 
**  the  Sacred  Synod  of  the  kingdom  of 
Greece.'*  But  we  trust  it  will  teach 
those  zealous  Anglo- Catholics  amongst 
us,  who  are  so  ardently  desirous  of  an 
ecclesiastical  concortlat  vrhh  the  East, 
that  it  is  just  as  hopeless  to  look  for 
an  agreement  of  the  Church  of  England 
with  the  Greek  Church  as  with  that  of 
Rome.  These  two  churches  may  pos- 
sibly hereafter  shake  hamls  togetncr; 
they  may  cease  to  dispute  about  the

WbiUt  wc  ciiUroly  acquit  the  CLris- 
iUii  Knowlcflgc  Socletj  of  any  in* 
Untion  of  fnvouring  the  uxiauthoriied 
proteii  which  woi  recently  kilned  bj 
tome  leading  meiiiYjeni  of  the  raiejitc 
partjTf  we  cannot  tibut  our  eyes  to  tlic 
uunritable  influence  which  tniM  canoni- 
cal blunder  umst  produce  on  the  ques- 
tion, fu  relative  to  our  Protectant 
Bishop  at  Jerusalem.  The  circulation  of 
more  than  two  thoutand  copies  of  this 
interpolated  edition  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment amongst  the  Eiuitem  clergy,  with 
the  cost  and  sanction  so  para<Ieil  on 
the  title-page  and  eulogised  in  the 
profa<M!,  cannot  fail  to  wealcen  the  amis 
of  iiishop  Gobat,  and  to  strengthen  his 
opponents,  whether  ut  home  or  abroad. 
It  will  bo  naturall3r  thought,  that  the 
difierence  of  canon  is  of  small  import- 
ance, when  the  funds  of  a  Scicicty,  which 
numbers  the  entire  hierarchy  of  our 
Church  amongst  its  mcmljcrs,  can  tlius 
expend  its  treasures  on  the  publication 
of  this  anti-Protestant  edition  of  the 
LXX.  Though  not  intended,  it  will 
have  all  the  eflect  of  a  movement 
iLffainst  Bishop  (^obat  in  favour  of  the 
'iu'actarians.  We  think  it,  therefore, 
the  duty  of  the  members  and  the 
public  to  sCc  that  ample  reparation  Ijc 
made  of  the  injury,  and  full  apology  be 
tendered  of  the  error.  No  private  con- 
fession can  suflice.  It  is  public  amend- 
ment which  must  rectify  the  wron^. 

Kur  is  this  inroad  on  our  canon  with- 
out peril  in  our  controvei-sics  with  the 
Papist.  It  will  not  be  lung  before 
Cardinal  Wiseman  and  his  provincials 
fmd  out  the  blunder.  They  will  ex- 
claim,—-*' The  Protestants  have  ceased 
to  maintain  the  contest  of  Luther  re- 
specting the  canon  of  Scripture.  They 
DOW  are  dis()osed  to  acknowle<lgc  the 
canon  of  Ilomish  and  Greek  churches. 
*  The  Society  for  Promoting  Christian 
Knowledge,  with  ail  the  archbishops 
and  bishops  of  the  Church  of  England, 
have  ffiven  in  their  adhesion,  lliey 
regard  it  as  a  matter  of  inditTerencc, 
iructher  the  book  of  Esther  contains 
the  additionals  or  not,  whether  the 
blessed  Virgin  bo  saluted  as  Ucorc^xop, 
and  whether  *  Susanna*  and  'lk*l  and 
the  Dragon*  be  admitted  to  form  ports 
of  Daniel  the  prophet." — Such  are  the 
sneers  and  rcm-oaches  which  we  may 
expect  from  "Tlie  Tablet,"  "The  liam- 
bler,"  or  "Tho  Dublin  Review." 

Alas  t  we  al.«o  tremble  to  reflect  upon 


its  wretched  efiects  on  onbelierers, 
and  those  "•  who  sit  in  the  seat  of  the 
scomcr.**  How  would  Toni  Paine,  or 
Carliole,  have  rejoiced  to  witness  this 
confusion  of  canonical  and  uncanonical 
scripture!  How  would  they  have 
triumphetl  to  behold  the  funds  of  ^*  The 
Christian  Knowledge  Society**  expend- 
ed on  blending  **  Bel  and  the  Dragon,** 
with  the  visions  of  the  prophet,  '*  the 
greatly  beloved !  **  We  ahoidd  not  be 
thus  severe,  if  official  ignorance  could 
be  pleaded — but  it  is  an  obstinate  per- 
sistance  in  detected  error.  More  ihan 
three  veara  ago,  these  oiFenoea  agamst 
our  Protestant  canon  were  brou^^t 
before  the  committee.  They  refused 
to  rccal  their  edition ;  they  refused  to 
cancel  the  objectionable  pages;  they 
turned  a  deaf  ear  to  the  idolatrous  as- 
cription to  the  Virgin.  They  now  assert, 
it  IS  too  late  to  amend  these  errors ; 
that  two- thirds  of  the  copies  are  in  cir- 
culation in  the  East.— What  then  re- 
mains but  this  earnest  appeal  to  the 
public  ? 

The  Church  of  England  and  the 
cause  of  Protestants  stand  at  this  mo- 
ment in  the  most  critical  position.  We 
are  menaced  with  Romanists  without, 
and  with  Romanists  within  our  walls. 
There  is  on  open  schism  amoncst  our 
bishui)s  and  our  clergy.  The  Primate 
has  ]>een  revilcHl  and  denounced  as 
schismaticol.  The  Protestant  Bishop 
at  JeruFalcm  has  been  attacked  as  a 
proselyting  intruder  on  the  Greek 
Church.  It  is  at  this  critical  juncture 
th'is  corru)>t  edition  of  the  Septuagint 
is  publisheil  by  "  The  Christian  Know- 
lectge  Society,  *  to  illuminate  the  minds 
of  tne  clergy  at  Athens.  AVc  shall  find 
our  apology  in  the  danger  of  our  times, 
and  in  the  strength  of  our  cause.  We 
cannot  cry  "Peace,  peace,**  in  the 
midst  of  wars,  and  dangers,  and  com- 
motions. We  cannot  adopt  the  lan- 
guage of  ilatterers  and  false  friends. 
We  have  as  much  love  for  *'  The  So- 
ciety,** as  any  of  its  members :  we  have 
worked  hard  and  long  to  prove  our 
attachment;  but  the  time  nos  come 
when  silence  would  bo  consent,  and 
when  consent  would  bo  treason  : — 
"  Faithful  are  the  wounds  of  a  friend ; 
but  the  kisses  of  an  enemy  are  deceit- 
ful." 

Having  thus  discharged  a  very  pain- 
ful and  unpalatable  duty,  wc  cannot 
conclude  this  article,  without  endea-

!  ficatiou  of  the  text  would 
.  il  importance,  if  not  fol- 

lowed by  a  more  general  study  of  the 
entire  volume.     It  is  really  time  that 
the  advice  of  Bishop  Pearson  should  be 
I  c^nriiatl  into  elTect,  and  that  the  study 


155 

of  the  LXX-  should  be  re^^ardcd  as 
essential  to  the  discipline  for  holy 
orders.  How  is  it  possible  to  under- 
iitaiiiJ  the  Greek  of  tlie  New  Testament, 
without  attending  to  that  of  the  Old  ? 
What  can  be  more  irrational  than  to 
explain  the  phraseology  of  the  evan- 
gelists or  anoslles,  by  phrases  picked 
from  Xenophon  or  Herodotus  ?  Even 
when  the  words  are  the  same,  they 
have  generally  a  very  dilFerent  mean- 
ing, and,  alter  all,  the  correspondence 
is  accidental.  But  in  the  LAX,  you 
have  the  same  words,  with  the  same 
peculiar  meaning.  The  subject-matter 
IS  the  same — ^thcy  are  parts  of  the  same 
Bible, 

In  any  reforms  which  may  hereafker 
be  introduced  into  the  modes  of  study 
at  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  it  is  ear- 
nestly to  be  ho^Mid,  that  ample  means 
should  be  provided  for  the  regular  and 
continuous  study  of  the  LXX,  as 
essential  to  university  honours,  and 
to  the  taking  of  any  academical  dc^ee 
in  arts.  It  should  also  essentiajly 
enter  into  the  episcopal  examinations 
for  orders.  It  is  the  easiest  atid  most 
natural  of  all  subiiequcnt  application 
to  the  Hebrew  original.  By  a  strange 
anomaly,  there  are,  in  some  colleges, 
prizes  and  scholarships  for  Hebrew  j 
there  arc  none  for  the  knowledge  of 
the  LXX! 

Now,  it  is  plain,  that  either  the  study 
of  the  Septuagintal  and  New  Testa- 
ment Greek  sbouhl  be  united  to  the 
existing  Professorships  of  Hebrew  and 
Greek,  or  that  some  distinct  professor- 
ship should  be  established.  We  are 
inclined  to  the  laBt^  as  a  better  division 
of  academical  labour.  There  is  ample 
scope  in  the  study  of  SeptungintiJ 
Greek,  as  connected  with  tliat  of  the 
New  Testament^  for  the  labours  of  a 
distinct  professor*  His  lectures  should 
be  fretjuent,  and  open  to  all  the 
members  of  the  umversity.  In  the 
Annotations  of  Grotius  and  the  Pre- 
lections of  Valckenaer,  he  would  find 
inexhaustible  mines  of  Hellenistic  trea- 
sure. 

The  numberless  and  beautiful  cor- 
respondences l>etween  the  Greek  o( 
the  Old  and  New  Testament  would 
prove  highly  attractive,  and  thus  the 
iitudies  of  sacred  philology  would  be 
leagued  to  those  of  divinity — nay,  even 
to  the  evidences  of  Divine  Revela-

In  regard  1o  the  text  of  the  LXX,,  it

that  the  Korniin  ia  to  be  preferred.  It

The  Aldine  was  eonipiled  from  a

Alexandrine  MS.  ditfL-ra  from  all  the

have  been  superior  to  the  rest ;  but  its 
estimation  has  eon  aide  rably  fallen  since 
the  time  of  Grabe,  and  it  has  never 
been  reprinted  in  Knghmd. 

It  i*,  however,  the  only  anthurised 
text  of  the  Eastern  Church,  audj  jis 
such,  has  been  adopted  by  the  Sacred 
Synod  in  the  edition  brought  out  under 
the  Au?ipices  of  the  Christ  tan  Know- 
ledge Society.  The  Moscow  MS.  ap- 
pears lo  dilfer  yQTj  little  from  that 
which  the  pntriarch  Cyril  pref^enteti  to 
Charles  the  Firstj  and  which  Grabc 
very  inaccurately  edited — of  which  Mi% 
Baber  has  given  ati  entire  ffjc-simih. 
It  would  be  very  desirable  that  neat 
and  portable  efbticjiis  i>f  this  text  should 
be  printetl  at  Oxfon!  or  Cambridge, 
and  circulated  as  nmch  as  possible  in 
the  East.  The  text  should  be  pure 
and  unadulterated,  .1  cnpy  of  what  the 
Alexandrine  translators  reully  ex- 
ecuted. That  they  only  translated  the 
Canonical   books  of   the   Old  Testa- 


ment, and  that  the  AjiocryTAal  were 
subsetjuently  added  by  the  Hellenists, 
is  a  faet  which  no  one  can  doubt,  who 
con  tides  on  the  account  of  Jo!5ephu3% 
or  who  trusts  to  the  authority  of 
Origen,  Jerome,  and  the  concurrent 
testimony  of  the  ancient  fathers,  A 
pure  e<lition  of  the  Scptuagint^  there- 
fore, should  contidn  no  Ai>ocryphii,  nny 
more  than  a  Hebrew  liible;  at  the 
moat,  it  can  be  regarded  only  as  uti 
Appendix,  devoid  of  any  bibbcal  au- 
thority. VVe  cannot  admit  it  to  be 
named  Deuiern'Canonictd.  It  forma 
no  part  uf  the  Old  or  New  Tes  tain  cut. 

liut,  after  all,  it  is  probable  that  it 
must  be  lefl  i\>  the  Bible  Society  to  , 
carry  out  the^e  coniprcbensive  deaigns. 
Unfettered  by  ecclesiastical  etit|uctte, 
that  Society  will  seek  no  alliance  with 
the  "  Sacred  Synod  "  of  Attica.  With 
its  eagle-eye  lixcd  on  the  East,  it  will 
send  numerous  copies  of  the  AJex- 
andrine  text  of  the  LXX.  into  every 
part  of  Greece,  Asia  Minor,  Egypt*  and 
Palestine  for  the  use  of  the  Oriental 
clergy,  whilst  it  will  provide  the  laity 
with  chea|>  and  portable  editions  of  the 
Old  and  Kew  Testament  in  the  spoken 
Koniaie,  We  feel  convineeil,  that  if 
the  LXX.  were  thus  placed  in  the 
hands  of  the  Greeks  and  Jews  in  a 
readable  modern-Greek  version,  it 
would  produce  extraordinary  etfects. 
None  of  the  modern  Jews,  except 
their  priests  and  rabbis,  can  read  the 
Hebrew  text ;  but  multitudes  amonge«t 
tlicir  merchants  and  traders  would 
eagerly  devour  the  Old  Testaraent  in 
Koniaic.  We  earnestly  advise  the 
Directors  of  the  Bible  Society  to  lose 
no  time  in  prosecuting  this  object- 
now  tb;\t  the  crisis  is  fast  approaching  \ 
between  Russia  and  Turkey. 

Nor  can  we  conclude,  without  ex- 
pressing feelings  of  joy  and  Iriumpti 
m  thus  ant  icipatin;;  the  glorious  destiny 
of  that  version^  which  first  openetl  the 
door  of  Christianity  to  the  Jew  and 
Greek,  agsiin  renewing  its  pristine 
energies  by  carrying  the  tidings  of  | 
salvation  to  its  Eastern  cradle.  Whea 
the  New  Testament  adoptcil  tlie  lan- 
guage of  the  LXX.  it  gave  a  virtual  < 
pleilge,  that  tlie  promise  to  Abraham  1

hibtted  in  mcxlern  Romaic  for  the  use 
of  tUe  laity,  they  will  soon  pnsa  into 
their  originiil  forms.  But  let  no  Apo- 
crypha be  mingled  with  the  text.  It 
were  an  insult  to  the  JcWf  to  present 
htm  with  anything  not  contained  to 
Moses  and  the  Prophets.  Even  the 
Mahometan  hsis  too  much  reverence 
for  the  Old  Testament  not  to  feel  in- 
dignant that  ^^  Susannn,'*  or  *■  Bel  and 
the  Dragon"  should  be  blended  with 
the  Bible.  Let  the  Septuagint  there- 
fore be  freed  from  all  sueh  base  inter- 
polations, and  it  will  once  more  recover 
ltd  primeval  rank  and  dignity.  No  man 
can  read  the  Septuagint,  without  at 
the  same  time  being  enabled  to  under- 
litftDd  the  New  Testament.  The  Jew 
liod  the  Greek  would  be  insensibly 
led  from  the  one  to  the  other.  **  Many 
would  run  to  and  fro,  and  knowledge 
would  be  increased." 

We  have  eatablished  a  Protestant 
Bishop  at  Jerusalem,^  and  we  should  arm 
hira  with  pure  and  Protestant  copies 
of  the  LXX.  It  is  not  by  insidious 
treaties  with  the  **  Sacred  Synod"  of 
Attica,  it  is  not  by  blending  apocry- 
phal with  canonical  Scriptures,  it  is 
not  by  saluting  the  Virgin  as  "the 
,iCother  of  God,  that  we  can  hope  to 
%ect  the  standard  of  the  Protestant 
Church  in  the  East.  We  must  hoist 
the  rtag  of  our  own  Reformers.  We 
must  adhere  to  the  canon  of  our  Sixth 
Article*  We  must  have  **  the  Bible^ 
Ihe  whole  Bible,  and  nothing  but  the 
Bible,"  as  the  groundwork  of  our  re- 
ligion. The  superstitious  ceremonials 
0  ithe  Greek  Church  would  then  gra- 
idually  pass  away.  A  simpler  and 
^  ,rer  form  of  worship  would  be 
idopteil.  The  Greek  mind»  now  in 
chains,  would  then  gradually  be  eman- 
cipated ii'om  priestcraft  and  idolatry. 
Till  this  is  in  some  measure  accom- 
plished, it  is  in  vain  to  look  for  the 
mtroduction  of  free  and  jwpular  insti- 
tutions. Either  tlie  Turk,  or  the  Rus- 
sian, must  dictate,  till  tbo  people  of 
Greece  can  be  brought  to  emorace  the 
freedom  and  independence  of  Protest-

Since  the  above  article  was  written, 
a  printed  "  Statement"  bus  been  issued 
by  the  Christian  Knowledge  Society, 
which  attempts,  not  to  invalidate  the 
tacts  wc  have  recorded,  but  to  ajMnlo- 


gise  for  the  Royid  Synod,  as  having 
committed  no  breach  of  trust  It  re- 
presents these  gross  violations  of  our 
Protestant  canon  merely  as  **  an  over- 
sight," on  the  part  of  their  own  n^enU 
We  here  insert  it  entire  : 

In  consequence  of  certain  commauica- 
tion*  which  they  have  recently  received, 
in  reference  to  the  edition  of  the  Greek 
Septuagiot  printed  by  the  Society  for  the 
use  of  the  Greek  Church,  the  Foreign 
Translation  Committee  beg  to  make  the 
following  statement  on  the  subject  to  the 
Standing  Committee : — 

It  was  determined  in  the  year  1 84 1 ,  with 
the  sanction  of  hii  Grace  the  Prejident  of 
the  Society  and  the  approval  of  the  Board, 
to  uadertake  thin,  and  certain  other  pub- 
lications,  for  the  benefit  of  the  Greek 
Church.  The  proposal  was  gratefully  re- 
ceived by  the  Royal  Synod  of  Attica ;  and 
the  Foreign  Translation  Committee  were 
informed  f  in  reply  to  their  inqajries  on 
that  snbjectf  that  the  Moscow  edition  of 
the  Septuagintt  which  follows  the  Codex 
AJexondriuuei  was  the  one  in  common  use 
ID  the  Elast,  and  might,  consequently ^  be 
considered  as  eihibitiag  the  aathorised 
text  of  the  Greek  Chorcb.  It  was  there- 
fore resolved  to  adopt  this  tejit,  and  to

@T0.  at  AthcDS«  The  Synod  of  Attica  ap- 
pointed a  committee  of  their  own  body  to 
superiuteud  the  work,  in  cooj unction  with 
a  literary  geutleman,  long  resident  at 
Athens,  whom  the  Foreign  Translation 
Committee  engaged  to  employ  as  their 
ogeot  for  this  purpose.  It  was  resolved 
to  print  an  edition  of  3*000  copies,  with 
on  understanding  that  1  ^500  copies  of  each 
volume,  as  it  was  completed,  should  be 
placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  Synod  for 
gratuitous  distribution  ammig  the  Greek 
clergy  ;  and  that,  with  the  exception  of 
about  250  copies  to  be  sent  to  London, 
the  rest  of  the  impressiou  should  be  de- 
posited with  the  Bishop  of  Gibraltar,  at 
Malta,  for  sale  or  distributioo  in  Greece, 
or  in  other  parts  of  the  Levant »  as  oc- 
casions might  arise.  Tlie  Synod  of  Attica 
made  no  difficulty  in  accedjog  to  the  de- 
ma^od  of  the  Foreign  Translation  Com- 
mittee, that  the  apocryphal  books,  which 
in  the  Moscow  editioo  of  the  Septuagint 
arc  miied  up  with  the  canonical  Scrips 
titres,  should  in  this  edition  be  printed 
eetmrately,  so  as  to  make  up  by  themselves 
the  whole  of  the  proposed  fourth  volume. 

In  1844' r»  circuiDtttanoes  unfortunately 
arose  which  prevented  the  agent  of  the 
Foreign  Translation  Committee  at  Athens 
from  giving  to  the  work  that  attention 
upon  which  they  had  relied.  In  conse- 
quence of  these  circumstances^  and  under 


158         The  Septuagini  of  the  Christian  Knowledge  Society.      [teb. 


diiBcaltiefl  which  arose  oat  of  them,  after 
many  and  long  intermptions  in  the  work, 
another  gentleman  kindly  undertook  the 
labour  of  superintendence  on  behalf  of  the 
Sodetj,  and  the  whole  edition  was  at  last 
completed  in  the  year  1851. 

In  the  mean  time,  however,  some  copies 
of  the  first  three  Tolumes  had  successifely 
been  sent  to  London,  and  had  been  sup- 
plied to  such  members  of  the  Society  as 
applied  for  them ;  and  towards  the  end  of 
the  year  1850,  the  Rev.  B.  W.  Grinfield 
drew  the  attention  of  the  Foreign  Transla- 
tion Committee  to  the  second  and  third 
volumes,  in  which  he  had  observed,  that 
the  apocryphal  portions  of  Esther  and 
Daniel  had  been  incorporated  with  the 
chapters  of  the  canonical  books ;  and  that 
certain  Church  hymns,  most  of  them  taken 
from  other  parts  of  Scripture,  but  some 
apocryphal,  were  appended  to  the  Psalms, 
and  the  whole  book,  with  this  appendix, 
called  "The  Psalter"  {y\taKrr)piov).  Upon 
receiving  this  commuoication,  the  Com- 
mittee instructed  the  Secretaries  to  examine 
the  whole  three  volumes  carefully,  and 
report  to  them  on  the  subject.  This  was 
accordingly  done ;  and  a  careful  analysis 
of  the  work,  as  far  as  it  was  then  com- 
pleted, was  entered  upon  the  minutes  of 
the  Committee,  under  date  of  December 
9,  1850.  From  this  analysis  it  appeared 
that,  in  this  edition,  the  apocryphal  inter- 
polations were  easily  distinguished  from 
the  canonical  Scriptures;  as,  in  the  case 
of  the  Psalter,  the  additional  **  hymns,'' 
as  they  were  called,  which  follow  the  150th 
Psalm,  were  not  consecutively  numbered, 
as  if  they  formed  a  contiuuation  of  the 
same  book ;  and  where  these  interpolations 
occurred  in  the  Books  of  Esther  and 
Daniel,  they  either  were  not  divided  into 
verses  at  all,  or  were  versed  separately, 
and  independently  of  the  versing  of  the 
chapters  into  which  they  were  inserted. 
The  Committee,  moreover,  saw  no  reason 
to  charge  the  Greek  Synod  with  any 
breach  of  faith  in  this  matter ;  as  in  the 
Moscow  edition,  which,  in  this  particular, 
follows  exactly  the  Alexandrian  MS.,  these 
interpolations  do  not  form  separate  and 
distinct  books.  They  rather  attributed  the 
oversight  to  the  want  of  proper  supervision 
on  the  part  of  their  own  agent,  under  the 
circumstances  to  which  they  have  already 
alluded. 

They  at  tirst  contemplated  cancelling 
the  objectionable  pages  ;  but  the  arrival  of 
the  fourth  volume  in  London  was  daily 
expected,  and  they  thought  it  prudent  to 
examine  that,  before  coming  to  a  final  de- 
cision on  the  subject.  Unfortunately, 
owing  to  an  accident  irhich  could  not  be 
foreseen  or  provided  against,  the  fourth 
Tohime  waa  detained  on  its  way  for  some 


months,  and  did  not  come  to  hand  till  tke 
vacation  of  1851.  It  was  found  to  contain 
all  the  separate  and  distinct  books,  alone, 
of  the  Apocrypha.  When  the  Committee 
met  to  consider  the  subject  again,  it  ap- 
peared to  them  that  so  large  a  portion  of 
the  edition  had  been  already  distributed, 
that  no  cancels  could  be  of  any  avail  to- 
wards the  correction  of  the  mistake,  thUi 
inadvertently  made,  in  the  present  edition} 
and  they  came  to  the  resolution  that  the 
best  thing  to  be  done,  under  the  circum- 
stances, was  to  advise  that  the  work  should 
not  be  placed  upon  the  Society's  Cata- 
logue. 

On  considering  the  above  statement, 
the  Standing  Committee  had  recommended 
the  Foreign  Translation  Committee  to  un- 
dertake, immediately,  a  new  edition  of 
the  Septuagint,  to  be  printed  under  their 
own  superintendence  in  London,  and  to 
inform  the  Royal  Synod  of  Attica  of  this 
undertaking,  and  the  causes  which  have 
led  to  its  adoption. 

This  "Statement"  is  by^o  means 
sati.sfactory,  and  it  employs  a  language 
ftbotit  the  introduction  of  apocryphal 
matter  into  the  text  of  the  Bible,  which 
must  alarm  all  considerate  Protestants. 
It  places  the  defence  of  canonical  from 
uncanonical  matter,  on  the  presence  or 
absence  of  verses,  or  what  is  called  the 
Stichometry.  If  so,  we  may  be  satisfied 
with  the  Vulgate,  or  with  any  of  the 
editions  of  the  LXX.  nubliahcd  by  the 
Church  of  Rome,  so  far  as  relates  to 
Esther.  But  in  Daniel,  even  this  poor 
distinction  is  dropped  in  the  Society's 
Septuagint.  "  Susanna**  at  the  bearm- 
ning,  and  "  Bel  and  the  Dragon  at 
the  close  of  Daniel  arc  arranged  in 
verses.  It  is  true  the  versification 
begins  afresh  in  the  last,  but  it  forms 
the  twelfth  vision,  and  commences  in 
the  middle  of  a  line !  Unlike  the  Vul- 
gate, there  is  no  caution  given  in  the 
margin. 

"The  Statement  **  makes  no  allusion 
to  the  objectionable  title  bestowed  on 
the  Virgin — Gcoro/tof.  This  silence 
may  be  prudent,  but  it  is  not  ingenuous* 

From  "The  Statement**  it  would 
appear  as  if  our  English  canon  was  not 
to  DC  regarded  as  the  test  of  canonical 
integrity.  It  is  thought  sufficient,  that 
the  Moscow  edition,  or  the  Alexandrian 
MS.  should  warrant  these  interpola- 
tions. Such  were  the  views  of  "  The 
Foreign  Translation  Committee.**  They 
received,  however,  a  pretty  strong  re- 
buke from  "  The  Standing  Committee,**

Not  only  have  large  interpolations 
been  permitted  to  remain  in  the  text

Bishop  Pearson  planned  out  a  correct

proelaime<l  the  Protesstant  canon,  and 
the  English  Bible  exhibited  the  He- 
braic sequence  of  chapter  and  verse* 
The  Syndics  of  Cambridge,  and  the

when  this  article  has  done  its  duty, 
when  thede  gross  anomalies  no  longer 
dis^aec  out  editions  of  the  LXX. 
It  IS  tbe  cause  of  sound  criticism,  as 
well  as  of  Proteiitant  truth,  which  de- 
mands this  reform.  It  is  full  time,  that 
the  obeli  of  0 risen,  and  the  stern  re-

discharges  very  heavy  artillery  against  Mr. 
Bowyer, 

**  11 L  W,  Bowyer*B  reply.  A  work  of 
immense  care  and  labour.  Part  of  this  is 
imperfect ;  the  leaves  were  all  thrown 
about  and  di arranged.  I  have  succeeded 
in  classifying  the  greater  part,  bat  a  few 
leaves  at  the  conclusion  are  wanting,  and 
a  small  portion  is  injured.  The  whole  of 
the  MS.  which  treats  of  the  pretended 
lenity  of  the  RomAn  Church,  and  transub- 
stantiation,  is  quite  perfect ;  also,  a  con- 
siderable part  of  the  discussion  of  '  tradi- 
tion/ with  numeroua  notes  and  headings.*' 

'*  Some  brief,  powerful,  learned  letters, 
addressed  to  Mr-  Bowyer  ;  on  one  of 
them,  to  *  Mr.  Bowyer,  at  Mr.  Dumel 
Sheldon's,  in  St,  Bartholomew's  Close, 
near  West  Smithfield,  London,'  dated 
from  Jan.  to  June,  1697*  the  period  of 
this  controversy.  These  letters  are  written 
by  A.  Hodgson,  apparently  a  clergyman.*' 

It  would  thus  appear  that  Mr.  John 
Bowyer  and  Mary  King,  noticed  in  the 
Literary  Anecdotes,  vol.  L  p.  3,  had  a 
daughter  as  well  as  their  only  son  William. 
This,  it  seems,  was  unknown  to  Mr.  Ni- 
chols, as  no  mention  ts  made  of  her  in 
the  **  Memoirs  of  Bowyer."  She  was  evi- 
dently a  woman  of  considerable  mind,  but 
was  unfortunately  drawn  over  to  Popery — 
a  subject  much  in  dlscujsion  at  the  close 
of  the  seventeenth  century,  and  died  a  poor 
ntin  of  St.  Clare,  where  she  appears,  in 
Mr.  T.  Bowyer' 8  memoranda,  to  have 
been  known  by  the  name  of  Elizabeth  Ross. 
Is  it  usual  for  nnns  to  assume  a  different 
tomame,  as  well  as  Christian  name,  on 
their  profession  ? 

Any  information  relative  to  this  lady, 
and  to  her  connexion  with  the  family  of 
Bowyer,  would  be  particularly  accept- 
able ;  as  I  entertain  serious  doubts  whether 
Mr.  Ord  may  not  have  been  mistaken  in 
supposing  the  nnn  to  have  been  really  a 
tister-jn« blood  of  W.  Bowyer-

Notu  of  the  Month. 


[Feb. 


•tanoei.  Now  thii  throwi  no  light  what- 
erer  oq  the  lubject. 

I  should  have  lapposed  that  Herodotus 
had  in  these  oases  used  the  particle  merely 
for  the  sake  of  euphony,  if  it  had  not  been 
for  one  consideration---that  in  all  the  in- 
stances I  have  adduced,  the  verb  to  which 
the  particle  is  attached  is  in  the  aorist, 
while  those  which  precede  and  follow  it 
are  in  the  present  tense.  Thus  the  first 
passage  I  have  referred  to,  given  at  length, 
is  as  follows!  KtiJMKj  ^  talvfi  itoXkh 
tcarapfffrdfifvoi  f^tpOvviy  roTcrt  ftcv  hp  j 

tiivopoiy  ol  df  <f>€povTts  h  rrjv  dyop^y 
air'  iv  UdovTOyTouri  ^c  hy  fi^  napiwri 
*£XXi7VCff,  ol  d*  c«c  pdWovai  cV  top 
fTOTcmov,  ii.  39. 

A  similar  peculiarity  is  observable  in 
i.  139,  where  the  particle  is  used  with  a 
simple  verb,  «earcvx<r«u  —  IfBrjKt  Jv  — 
cirac tdci,  and  from  this  I  am  led  to  infer 
there  may  be  something  more  in  the 
matter  than  mere  sound. 


In  iii.  138,  the  particle  is  UMd  in  this 
way  with  a  verb  in  the  imperfiBct,  whidi 
is  followed  and  preceded  by  verbe  in  the 
imperfect,  ^wXcvc  —  ovk  dv  IhrttBov^^ 
ddv¥fiToi  fjaop^  which  is  the  only  exoeptiaa 
to  the  peculiarity  I  have  mentioned  that  I 
have  been  able  to  find  in  Herodotus.  In 
the  Ranc  of  Aristophanes  we  have  the 
particle  interposed  in  a  similar  manner, 
mir*  Jy  f^tv.  Ran.  1048.  Perhaps, 
through  the  medium  of  your  pages,  similar 
instances  from  other  writers  may  be  brought 
together,  or  some  su^i^gestion  made  as  to  the 
force  of  |the  particle.  The  work  of  He- 
rodotus  being  at  all  times  interesting,  has 
lately  gained  fresh  attractions  from  the 
discoveries  of  Mr.  Layard  and  Colonel 
Rawlinson,  and  the  minutest  peculiarity 
in  his  diction  seems  to  me  not  altogether 
unworthy  of  attention.  Hoping  you  will 
deem  this  a  sufficient  apology  for  my  in« 
truding  on  your  valuable  columns,  I  re- 
main, Sir, 

Yours  obediently,        F.  J.  Vipan.

NOTES  OF  THE  MONTH. 

R^ocdon  by  the  British  MuMom  of  the  Faassett  Collecticm  of  Anslo-Haxon  Antiquities  and  of  the 
Larpent  Collection  of  PlaTs— Formation  of  tho  Surrey  Arclia-ological  Society,  and  of  an  Archieo-

We  regret  to  have  to  state  that  the 
Trustees  of  the  British  Museum  have 
oome  to  a  final  determination  to  reject  the 
purchase  of  the  Fautsttt  collection  of 
Anglo-Saxon  Antiquilkt^  which  had  been 
offered  to  them  for  the  sum  of  700/.  and 
have  thereby  also  lost  the  contingent  offer 
of  Mr.  Wylie's  valuable  collection,  which 
would  hate  been  presented  to  the  nation 
gratuitously.  (See  our  Report  of  the 
ArchKological  Institute.)  It  is  really  dis- 
heartening when  we  reflect  on  the  tens  of 
thousands  which  have  been  expended  on 
all  sorts  of  exotic  monstrosities,  from 
Assyria  to  Owhybee,  to  find  how  in- 
accessible a  set  of  men  in  regard  to  our 
native  archeology  the  present  managers 
of  our  National  Museum  must  be.  In 
this  respect  we  are  shamed  by  France,  by 
Denmark,  and  even  by  oar  sister  island, 
Hibernia. 

The    same   body    have    also    recently 

'  their  injudicious  economy  in  a 

matter.      Many  hundred  hfanu- 

"t,  which  had  been  submitted 

aonser  of   Dramatic  Compo* 


sitions  between  the  years  1737  and  1824, 
had  been  preserved  by  the  late  Mr.  Lar^ 
pent,  and  sold  by  his  widow  for  180/. 
The  owner  offered  them  fur  the  same  sum 
to  the  British  Museum,  where  they  would 
have  formed  a  very  appropriate  sequel  to 
the  Garriek  Collection.  Trifling  as  was 
the  proposed  outlay,  the.  Trustees  declined 
to  accept  them.  They  have  been  pur- 
chased by  the  Earl  of  Ellesmere,  and  will 
be  placed  in  the  library  of  his  mansion  in 
the  Green  Park. 

The  great  success  which  has  attended 
the  Sussex  Archaeological  Society,  has  en- 
couraged the  formation  of  a  similar  body 
in  the  adioining  county  of  Surrey.  The 
objects  of  the  Surrey  Archao logical  So- 
elety  are  stated  to  be,  to  collect  and  pub- 
lish  historical  information ;  to  watch  and 
preserve  antiauities  discovered  in  the  pro- 
gress ofT)ublio  or  other  works;  to  pro- 
mote and  encourage  researches  and  exca- 
vations ;  and  to  preserve  monuments  of 
every  description.  The  annual  subscrip- 
tion is  fixed  at  10s.  and  the  principal  return 
in  contemplation  it  an  annual  volumOi  after

Qdmerous  audiences,  and  1200/.  remained, 
after  the  liquidatloa  of  all  expenses  attend- 


ing the  entertainments^  at  tbe  diApoaal  of 
the  committee  who  oridnated  theiu.  Con- 
siderable difference  of  opinitin,  however, 
subsequently  prevailed  as  to  tbe  dispo&al 
of  tbi:*  fund,  some  contending  that  it 
should  he  devoted  to  the  eatablishment  of 
baths  and  waahboufes,  and  others  advo- 
cating the  erection  of  a  terrace  of  alms* 
houses.  The  controversy  was  at  last 
bfippily  set  at  rest  by  the  pnblicatioa  of 
an  agreeable  paper  in  the  <irth  volume  of 
'*  Household  Words,'*  entitled  '*  Drooping 
Buds,"  and  in  May  last  it  was  agreed  a| 
a  public  meeting,  on  the  recommendation 
of  J,G.  Johnson,  esq. to  found  an  Hospital 
for  Sick  Children,  between  the  ages  of  two 
and  ten  years.  For  this  purpose  tbe  com- 
mittee have  taken  a  large  house  in  Potter- 
gate-strt'ct,  formerly  the  residence  of  Mr. 
Henry  Willett,  which  they  have  fitted  up 
with  every  convenience,  and  they  have  also 
made  arrangements  with  the  Lying-ia- 
Charity  for  tbe  occupation  of  a  part  of  the 
same  premises.  Tbe  number  of  patients 
wbfch  tbe  Institution  will  accommodate  It 
about  70.  The  occupation  of  the  In- 
firmary has  been  deferred  from  an  alarra 
Huggeeted  by  two  of  the  medical  genttemen 
of  the  city  thttt  the  assemblage  of  children 
labouring  under  infectious  or  contagious 
diseases  in  a  populous  neighbourhood  would 
be  dangerous  to  the  general  health  of  the 
city  ;  but  the  Committee  have  replied  that 
the  laws  provide  for  the  admission  of 
children  nai  sufTcring  from  such  diseases, 
and  thut  any  subsequently  so  affected  will 
be  placed  in  a  »eparutc  department. 

Tbe  inhabitants  of  Norwich  have  also 
recently  set  on  foot  a  Rtformatory  Aifylum

discharged  prisoners  from  the  city  gaol, 
on  the  model  of  an  institution  now  in  opera- 
tion at  Buxton  in  the  same  county,  under 
the  guidance  of  Mr.  Wright. 

Tbe  bequest  of  the  late  Dudley  Feredajf, 
esq.  of  Ettingshall  Park,  Staff,  (see  our  vol. 
xxxiii.  p.  92),  having  been  refused  by 
Mngjalcue  College,  Oxford,  has  been 
settled  upon  St.  John's  College,  by  Vice- 
ChanceUor  Kinderaley.  Tbe  testator  left 
20tOOU^  to  four  trustees  to  found  fellow- 
ships iu  Magdalene  College ,  and,  if  refused, 
to  any  other  college  in  Oxford;  in  the 
choice  of  fellows  the  next  of  kin  of  the  tea  •

both  before  and  after  the  Master  in  Chan^ 
eery  had  settled  the  scheme  uison  which 
the  fund  was  to  he  adminiiitered.  We 
presvLmo  this  refusal  is  connected  with  tbe

mense stock  of  English  reprints  in  the 
warehouses  of  the  Messrs,  Harper  Brothen. 
The  occurrence  has  led  to  the  publication 
of  lOTue  wonderful  details  retfpeoting  this 
great  literary  manufactory*  It  was  founded 
by  James  Harper,  the  oldest  of  the  four 
brothers  who  now  constitute  the  firm, 
lie  came  to  New  York  in  1810,  a  had  15 
years  old,  and  served  an  apprenticeship  of 
six  years  to  Paul  onrl  Thomas,  the  leading 
printers  of  that  day.  His  brother  John 
soon  followed  him,  and  learned  biit  trade 
of  Mr.  Seymour,  a  printer  in  John-street. 
In  I  BIT*  with  tbe  small  capital  that  James 
bad  saved,  the  brothers  opened  a  book 
and  job  office  in  Dover-street.  The  first 
book  they  printed  was  Seneca's  Morals ; 
the  second  an  edition  of  tbe  Methodist 
Catechism.  The  lirat  they  publiihed  on 
their  own  account  was  Locke's  Essay  on 
the  Human  Understanding.  In  1820  a 
third  brother,  Joseph-Wesley,  joined  themt 
and  six  years  later  Fletcher  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  firm.  From  that  time  until  now 
they  have  carried  on  the  business  with  UD- 
reinittlng  industry  and  welUdirected  energy. 
They  removed  to  Cliff-Btrect  about  1820^ 
niid  have  added  one  building  after  another 
to  their  establishment,  as  the  demands  of 
their  business  required.  The  amount  of 
books  they  have  issued  is  almost  incidcu- 
Idble.  It  is  asserted  that  for  the  last 
few  years  they  have  published,  on  an  aver- 
nge,  25,000  volumes  a  minute  for  ten  hours 
a  day  ;  and  from  three  to  four  thousand

persons  bare  obtalDed  a  liTeliUood  from 
tiieir  etnplojrinent. 

From  the  Transatlantic  book-prodacerB 
we  may  return  to  those  of  Loadoo,  of 
irhom  the  following  partiealars  have  been 
recenUy  publiihcd^  suggested  by  the  dis- 
ippeonooe  of  the  ancient  firm  of  the  Riv- 
ingtons  from  Paternoster  Row  and  St. 
Paul 'a  Churchyard.  The  remarks  are 
taken  from  a  recent  number  of  The  Morn- 
ing Advertiaer.  The  old  shop,  where 
Hor&lej  and  TornHne,  Warburton  and 
Hardr  ui«d  in  old  times  to  meet,  ia  about 
to  become  a  *  Shawl  Emporium/  and  the 
firm  of  RjvJDgtons^  will  no  more  be  found 
in  London  city.  It  ad  da  one  more  to  a 
thousand  past  proofs  of  the  change  which 
if  tAkiog  place  iu  London.  The  business 
of  Messrs,  Rivingtont  will  be  in  future 
tivricd  OD  in  Waterloo-place.  There  are, 
probably,  few  branches  of  trade  which  have 
tttiered  so  many  changess  and  losfes  of 
late  aa  that  of  bookselling.  The  6rms  of 
CsdfiU  and  DaTies^  and  of  Johnson^  in  St. 
Paul's  Churchyard,  have  entirely  faded 
away.  In  Messrs.  Simpkin  and  Marsbali's 
house,  there  is  now  no  ■  Simpkin/  and  no 
*Manihail/  In  Messrs,  Whittaker  and 
Co,*s  house  there  is  no  '  Whittaker/  In 
Mesars.  Hamilton  and  Co.^s  hottse  there 
is  no  'Hamilton.'  Even  westward  the 
lame  thing  pretmlj :  for  at  Meiflri.  Nisbet 
and  Co. 'a,  in  Bemera-street,  there  is  now 
no  *  Niabet.*  Mr.  Colbum  has  retired, 
ind  ia  succeeded  by  Messrs,  Hurst  and 
Blackett.  Mr.  Pickering  has  closed  hid 
BccQUDt«  in  Piccadilly t  and  is  succeeded 
by  bi«  late  assiistant  Mr.  Craven,  whilst 
bis  son  Mr.  Ba^il  Pickering  has  joined 
Mr,  Toovey.  Another  striking  feature  of 
modern  publishing  i^,  thut  of  the  rise  of 
great  and  cheap  railway  publishers.  Of 
these*  Chambers,  of  Edinburgh,  and  Sims 
and  M*latyrc,of  Belfast, have  ftUed  the  fore- 
most place  ;  but  Mr.  ii.  G.  Ooiin,  Messrs. 
Ingram  and  Co.  and.  ad  1 1  more,  Messrs. 
RoutleJge  and  Co.  bid  fair  to  overpass 
their  provincial  forerunners*  The  rapid 
rise  of  this  last  house  is  one  of  the  most 
remarkable  facts  in  the  whole  history  of 
bookselling.  It  was  tirst  heard  of  about 
a  dozen  years  ago,  in  Soho-square,  and 
now  it  copes  with  the  very  lii-at  in  town, 
for  the  large  extent  of  its  transactions. 

A  very  curioua  incident  in  the  life  of  the 
late  Lord  PiunMei  is  talked  of  in  well- 
informed  circks  of  Dublin  society.  It 
appears  that  in  his  declining  years  he  had 
oci  upied  himself  with  drawing  up  some 
prtrhculors  of  events  in  his  public  career. 
But  his  mind,  as  was  not  uouatuml  at  his 
protracted  years,  was  subjifct  to  aberration  ; 
and  not  long  since  he  chancfd  one  day  to 
i  on  the  papers »  which  he  had  com* 
jMHed  in  perfect  healthy  and  seizing  tbem 


he  suddenly  cast  them  into  the  fire  and 
destroyed  them  all  t  We  are  not  informed 
as  to  whether  the  papers  were  a  retro- 
spective record  of  his  varied  life,  or  whether 
it  waa  a  journal  kept  in  his  later  years. 
The  name  of  Mr.  Edward  Berwick,  the 
Prcddent  of  Queen  *8  College,  Gal  way  (and 
grand-nephew  of  the  late  Henry  Grattan), 
has  been  mentioned  as  that  of  Lord 
Plunket^s  biographer. — Atkeneum, 

The  library  of  Mr.  Smyth  Piffoft,  of 
Brocktcy  Hall,  Somerset,  recently  sold  by 
Messrs.  Sothchy  and  Wilkinson,  contained 
a  valuable  collection  of  English  history, 
topography,  and  genealogy,  and  many 
curious  books  in  the  occult  sciences,  jest- 
book^,  and  early  EngUsh  literature.  Hey-

Among  the  manuscripts  were, — Heraldic 
ColtectioQi  for  Somersetshire,  formed  by 
Wm.  Raphael  Eginton,  F.A.S.E.  about 
the  year  1828,  2 If,;  Seyer's  Collections

of  Byron's  Curse  of  Mincrra,  22/,  lOi. ;  a 
fragment  by  Chatterton,  6L  The  black- 
stone  speculum  said  to  have  been  used  by 
the  astrologer  Dr.  Dee  was  sold  for  ]3/.| 
and  his  magic  crystal  for  15/.  lOj.  The 
former  was  sold  at  the  Strawberry  Hill 
Sale  in  1842  for  I2i.  I2s, :  see  some  re- 
marks upon  it  iu  our  vol,  xviii.  p.  003. 

In  the  Second  Portion  of  the  Library 
of  Dr.  Haufirey,  (now  Provost  of  Eton,) 
sold  by  the  aame  auctioneers,  occurred, 
Lot  tj»  Adsgia  Griecorgm,  with  the  auto- 
graph and  motto  of  Ben  Jonsou,  which  was 
sold  for  4/. ;  and  Lot  470j  Coogreve's 
Works,  a  presentation  copy  to  the  Duchess 
of  Marlborough,  for  6/.  ^^r. 

In  a  sale  by  Messrs.  Puttick  and  Co. 
on  the  18th  Jan.  occurred  two  lots  which 
are  worthy  of  note.  Lot  258  was  a  volume 
relating  to  the  City  of  London,  containing 
some  remarkable  items  connected  with  the 
Cutlers*  Company,  the  Bell  Savage,  Lud* 
gate  Hill,  and  some  singular  gif{i>,  &c. 
connected  with  thefamilyoftheCrathornes. 
It  appears  hy  the  announcement  in  the 
Catalogue  to  have  been  the  account-hook 
of  one  Tliomas  By  water.  Lot  592  was  a 
volume  of  the  original  sketches  and  draw- 
ings of  that  elaborate  work,  John  Carter^a 
'^Ancient  Architecture  of  England.'"  ItwM 
sold  for  4/.  10#,  aad  bought  by  Mr.  Boone*

Mr.  Smith's  work,  and  aa  we  have  but  one 

fdate  out  of  four  that  are  promised  to  ii- 
uatrate  it,  we  may  cxpeot  that  it  will 
occupy  a  coosiilerable  portion  of  the  next 
part.  We  can  only  say  that  what  u  given 
io  tho  present  number  makes  us  look  for« 
ward  impatiently  to  that  which  is  to  come] 
and  that,  instead  of  Aagging  in  his  xcalous 
labours,  ^Ir,  Smith  seems  to  us  to  improve 
his  work  materially  as  he  goes  on.  The 
present  volume  promiios  to  be  fully  equal 
to,  if  not  to  excel,  the  two  which  pre- 
ceded it. 


We  are  hnppy  to  iiiid  that  the  Bath 
Literary  Club  have  had  the  good  taste  to 
request  a  reprint  ofMr  iluuter*s  Essay  on 
The  Conneeiian  af  Bath  with  the  Litera" 
iurt  end  Science  of  Engtandt  which  was 
read  before  the  Literary  and  Philosophical 
Aasociation  of  the  Bath  Institution  in  tho 
year  182U,  and  a  small  edition  then  printed 
for  private  circulation.  Of  that  iraallim- 
presiiion  it  was  scarcely  possible  to  procure 
a  copy  I  and  ooDsequently  the  present 
i^upply  must  be  very  acceptable  to  the  new 
generation  which  will  now  take  an  interest 
in  the  literary  annals  and  asaociatious  of 
Bstli :  particularly  accompanictd,  b&  it  is, 
with  notes  in  continuation  of  the  subject 
for  another  quarter  of  a  century ,  and  with 
a  historical  narrative  of  the  formation  of 
the  Bath  Institution,  in  which  Mr.  Hunter 
took  an  active  part.  Of  the  original  essay

America,  By  W.  Devon  shire  Saull,  Fel- 
hw  of  the  Hotfal  Astronomical  and  Geo- 
hffictti  Societtefj  Sfc. — Mr*  SbluII  pub- 
lished in  1836  a  pamplilet  On  the  Coinci- 
dcnce  of  ABtronomical  and  Geological  Phe- 
nomena ;  and  since  that  time  he  has  de- 
voted his  attention  to  the  collection  of 
further  obscrratioos  on  this  important 
subject.  Some  of  these  he  embodied  in  a 
paper  which  was  read  before  tbe  Geologi- 
cal Society  in  Feb.  1848,  which,  with  ad- 
ditional notes,  is  included  in  the  present 
pamphlet.  Its  principal  object  is  to  elu- 
cidate the  auccesHiTe  changes  of  tempera- 
tore,  and  the  levels  of  tiie  Oceanic  Wtttcra 
upon  tbe  Earth's  surface,  in  harmony  with 
geological  evidences.  Mr.  Saull  has  evi- 
dently collected  and  arranged  his  facts 
with  much  care,  and  his  essay  will  be  read 
with  interest,  eteti  if  his  readers  do  not 
coincide  in  all  his  conclusions.  Accord- 
ing to  his  calculation,  '^^ about  4000  years 
ago,  when  the  Perihelion  entered  the  sign 
of  Scorpio  in  its  ecliptic  rouud,  a  very 
considerable  change  in  the  oceanic  level 
took  place ;  but  since  tbat  period  it  has 
been  progressing  onward  to  tbe  sign  of 
Capricorn,  in  its  course  nearly  parallel  to 
the  Equator,  and  now  making  but  a  tri- 
fling angle  with  it.  Hence  thrn  tbe  state 
of  comparative  quiescence  during  the  his* 
toric  p4Eriod ;  which  state  of  repose  will 
probably  coatinue  for  nearly  3000  years 


Once  upon  a  Time.  By  Chas,  Knight

Mr.  Knight*3  historical  essays*  many  of 
which  have  heretofore  appeared  in  his  own 
periodical  pubtications  and  in  Dickens's 
Household  Words,  and  which,  with  cer-

arranged  in  somewhat  of  a  chronological 
order*  The  ak etches  of  his  own  early  ex-

and  of  *'  Items  of  the  Obsolete/*  in  the 
borough  of  Windsor;  of  **  The  Eton

of  the  present  century,  are  es[jccially  in- 
teresting and  valuable.  These  essays  are 
tbe  mature  result  of  a  taste  originally  good, 
a  Well-directed  pursuit  of  the  soundest  in-

large  map  of  North  Devon  and  part  of 
Somersetshire,  reduced  from  the  Ordnance

The  book  is  founded  upon  that  of  tbe  old 
topographer  We§tcote,  and  illustrated  witb 
some  original  historical  papers,  particu- 
larly several  ancient  subsidy  rolls.  The 
author  enters  a  good  deal  into  the  folk-lore 
of  the  district,  and  in  pp.  53-GO  are  some 
interesting  particulars  not  before  publifhed

itated  to  be  *'  carefully  retised,  with  notes

It  is  oot  said  that  these  Bermons  consti- 
tute a  eottfae,  but  something  of  such  an

time  this  fault  (if  we  may  so  call  it)  is  so 
closely  connected  with  excelleooe,  in  this 
kind  of  composition,,  that  it  places  the 
book  in  a  most  favourable  light,  compared 
with  the  tame  and  lifeless  prodoctions 
which  somerioies  appear  under  t!ie  same 
title.  The  author  may  overshoot  his 
marlCf  but  he  never  falls  short  of  it. 


Mr,  DoD*s  Peerage^  Baronetage ^  and 
Kniyhtagefor  IB54,  comes  forth  as  usual, 
with  a  variety  of  improvement*  upon  the 
last  edition.  The  Editor's  endeatours  to 
procure  information  aa  to  birth-places 
have  been  successful  in  many  hundred  ad- 
ditional cases,  and  further  progress  has 
been  made  to  commemorating  the  surviving 
dowagers.  Several  additional  articles  have 
arijten  from  promotions  to  episcopal  and 
judicial  dtgnities,  to  the  privy  council, 
and  to  baronetcies  and  knighthoods  ;  and 
these,  together  with  successions  from 
deaths,  have  produced  no  less  than  seventy- 
seven  fresh  articles.  We  itiM  hope  that 
Mr.  Dod  will  hereafter  6nd  room  for  the 
Christian  names  of  wives  and  mothers, 
which  wonld  be  an  undeaiable  improvement. 

Mr.  Dod  has  also  published  his  Pariia* 
mentary  Companion  for  1854,  being  its 
twenty -second  annual  appearance.  Be- 
sides the  alterations  attendant  upon  indi- 
viduals, there  are  forty- four  fresh  members 
introduced  iuto  the  House  of  Commons 
»ince  the  edition  of  1B53.  Pains  have  been 
taken  to  record  pledge  and  tlie  moat  recent 
votes  upon  the  great  questions  of  Reform 
io  Parliament,  the  Ballot,  the  Ma^nooth 
Grant,  National  Educatiooi  Free  Trade,  &c. 


Adams's  Parliamentary  Handbook 
(Second  Edition,  1853,)  will  be  found  a 
useful  oompamot)  to  attendaots  upon  the 
Debates  or  the  busioess  of  either  House, 
aa  it  contains  copious  particulars  of  the 
political  and  genealogical  history  of  both 
the  Peers  and  the  Commons.  We  must 
warn  the  Editor,  however,  that  he  must 
use  indefatigable  vigilance  if  he  thinks 
successfully  to  rival  the  annual  work  of 
Mr.  Dod  on  the  same  subject.  It  is  now 
many  years  since  the  present  Premier  was 
President  of  the  Society  of  Antiquarie's, 
and  we  were  puzzled  to  know  what  h  meant 
by  terming  hitn  **  President  of  the  British 
Ini»titute,''  until,  on  consulting  Mr.  Dod, 
we  find  it  should  he  the  British  Institu-

said  that  they  •*  were  Spaniih  Jews,  Itaving 
been  driven  from  that  roantry  at  the  end

whither  were  they  driven  to  ?  Not  imme-

f%0  lidirt  of  Arti*He  C^pyri^hi  and

BarriMtet-at'Law,—  \t  is  orten  forgotten 
hj  writert  od  the  Inw  of  patents  and  copy- 
rights tha.1  there  are  two  interests  to  be 
coDsidereil,  that  of  tlic  author  or  inventor, 
and  th'it  of  tbe  publio.  Still  less  U  it 
generally  bomo  in  mi  ad  that  Ihe  primary 
object  of  such  Iaw&  is  public,  aod  not  in- 
dividual^  adTantage.  It  ia  agreeable, 
therefore,  to  meet  witli  a  trentige  on  this 
subject,  written  in  a  fair  and  iinpartid 
spirit.  Mr-  Bkine  gives  us  ii  careful 
■nalysia  of  the  present  laws  of  artijtio 
copyright,  with  a  etatement  of  their  de» 
fects,  and  luggeations  for  their  amead- 
ment.  Ho  appends  to  this  the  Ce«t  of  the 
lUtutes  on  tbe  subject.  One  of  the  prin- 
01  pal  defects  of  the  law  Is  the  uncertainty 
hanging  over  it,  from  coniieting  statutes 
and  contradictory  judicial  decinions.  The 
obtious  remedy  ti  the  consolidation  of  Ihe 
law  in  a  single  Act.  He  states  the  other 
defects  to  be,  that  the  proteetion  extends 
only  to  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  ;  tbe 
term,  of  copyright  too  short  ;  the  copy- 
right of  pictures  and  proofs  before  letters 
unprotected  \  the  penalties  for  piracy  too 
smaU ;  copyright  can  only  be  transferred 
by  deed  or  will ;  the  ruinous  cost  aod 
delay  of  proeeedings  in  case  of  piraoy,  and 
some  other  minor  objections.  We  mnst^ 
however,  differ  from  him  tn  considering  a 
term  of  twenty-eight  years  too  short.  It 
appeari  to  us  ample  for  the  pttrpo»e  of 
■ecitnng  to  an  artist  an  adequate  return 
for  his  invention  and  induftry.  In  all 
other  respects  wo  fully  agree  with  hiiDf 
and  recommend  his  pamphlet  to  the  atten- 
tive consideration  of  all  interested  in  the 
subject,  whether  comnierciallyt  or  aa 
•itiata  and  engravers.

work  to  be  aptly  timed  i\s  well  as  ably

its  success.     This   is   the  case  with  this 
well-exeeuud  trantlatlon  of  Ranke's  dash- 
mg  historical  sketch  of  Servia.     Sketch 
^Ptbough  it  be,  it  is  complete  in  itaelf^^  and 
^^doe^  uot  lack  what  paioters  call  acces- 
sories.   The  subject  is  intercstiug,  and  is 
picturesquely  handled,  more  especially  that 

fortion  of  it  having  reference  to  the  social 
Dstoms  of  the  Servians— a  race  at  once 
iiimply  pioQS  and  ferociously  brave.     The 
iutbor  wrote  his  history  before  the  present 
^ispect  of  Eastern  politics  was  even  to  be 
detected  as  **  Joomiug  in  the  distanee^'^ 


hut  we  soaroely  can  read  aoy  of  the  daily 
records  of  the  crimes  now  being  committed 
by  the  mendacious  Czar  and  his  cowardly 
lieutenants,  without  Ending  that  they  have 
been  foreseen  by  the  prophetic  ^sion  of  I 
Ranke,  who,  be  it  said,  is  usually  more 
saocessful  in  describing  the  past  than  in 
tbrowing  light  on  the  future.  The  adapta- 
tion of  Cyprian  Robert's  dissertation  on 
tbe  Sdave  provinces  of  Turkey  is  not 
without  interest ;  but  it  appears  to  us  that 
this  volume  would  have  been  more  com- 
plete if,  in  place  of  this  dissertation,  th« 
editor  had  substituted  Count  Valerian  Kra- 
smski's  masterly  sketches  of  these  same  ' 
provinces.  The  latter  are  perfect,  l>oth 
for  the  amount  of  information  conveyed, 
and  for  their  remarkable  and  rare  power 
of  condensation.  The  essay  of  the  French 
author,  however,  is  clever  though  light, 
and  has  the  attraction  which  ready  French 
writcra  can  give,  whtm  they  will,  to  almost 
any  subject  upon  which  they  choose  to 
display  their  peculiar  power.

Next  to  Uncle  Tom's  Cobio,  so  far  as 
powerful  and  vivid  description  of  slave  life 
is  Gonoerned ,  we  roost  certainly  rank  Tbe 
Slave  Son.  Mrs.  Wilkios^s  experience 
bai  been  obtained  in  the  island  of  Trinidad, 
of  which  she  was  for  a  length  of  time  an  | 
inhabitant,  llie  greater  part  of  the  work, 
she  tells  us,  was  written  long  ago,  when 
her  mind  was  freshly  impressed  by  what 
she  bad  herself  seen  and  heard;  hut  many 
circumstances  occurred  to  prevent  herp«^> 
suing  any  pbu  of  authorship,  and  only 
since  tbe  publication  of  Uncle  Tom's

which,  in  all  its  leading  points  and  many 
of  its  detaihi,  ii  sketched  from  the  life. 
We  may  most  conscientiously  add,  that  it 
is  DO  mere  picture  of  what  many  have  told 
before  conaerning  masters  and  slaves.  It 
is  throughout  an  original  work  of  very  000- 
siderablc  talent.  TTie  negro  superatitions 
are  well  portrayed,  and  the  descriptions 
of  natural  scenery  are  eloquently  given •

tSon,  from  the  remotest  periods  to  the 
preient  time,  forma  tlie  iitting  introduction 
to  this  pleasant  and  useful  volume.  The 
idea  of  such  a  work  as  the  present  was  an 
exoellent  one,  and  the  execution  does  not 
lail  .«h(jrt  of  the  idea.  The  volume  will 
donbtleas  be  an  especial  favourite  with 
hoys,  for  whom  it  has  probably  been  espe- 
cially  vrritten.  But  it  merits  and  will 
command  a  wider  Girol«  of  read^ra,  for  the 


information  conveyed  in  its  pages  is  valu- 
able, derived  from  many  scattered  sources* 
and  agreeably  imparted.  Many  older 
readers  who  may  be  desirous  to  refresh 
their  memories  upon  subjects  treated  of 
in  this  volume  will  find  it  useful  as  a  book 
to  be  consulted.  Its  liavjug  been  written 
for  the  amusement  of  the  young  does  not 
dimini&h  its  value  for  (he  purposes  and 
parties  above  mentioned. 


Afemorable  IVomta  :  tht  Siorv  qfikeir 
Lhei.  By  Mrt,  Newton  Crosland,  {Darid 
Bo^#.)— These  biographies  are  eight  in 
number — Lady  Rachel  Rus^mll,  Madame 
D'Arblay  and  Mrs.  Pioxzi  (included  in 
one),  Mary  Ware,  Mrs.  Hutchinson  and 
Liady  Fanshawe,  Margaret  Fuller  and 
Lady  Sale.  They  are  well  written,  and 
convey  many  wholcsonie  truths  in  a  very 
i  0  teresting  manner.  The  second,  in  which 
the  characters  and  fortunes  of  Mrs*  Pio£SI 
and  Madame  D'Arblay  are  portrayed  is« 
on  the  whole,  our  favourite.  Out  the 
authoress  has  also  shewn  skill  and  ]ud^- 
nmnt  in  her  memoir  of  the  gifted,  eccentric 
Margaret  Fuller.  She  bus  not  pretended 
to  moralise  largely  upon  it,  and  yet  hat 
cauglit  some  at  least  of  the  most  striking 
lessons  it  teaches,  while  her  own  personil 
acquaintance,  limited  as  it  was,  adds  an 
interest  to  the  notice.  Mary  Ware's 
character  and  life  is  a  valuable  contribu* 
tion.  In  the  published  volume  it  reads 
tediously,  and  has  a  secLsrian  cast  which 
Mra.  Croshind  has  dropped.  Some  will 
doubtless  think  that  in  so  doing  she  has 
misaed  one  easential  pairt  of  the  portrait, 
since  the  religious  views  of  Mrs.  Ware 
were  to  herself  and  those  around  her  very 
tmportanL  Yet  no  one  can  say  that  the 
heroine  looks  less  Citmart  At;  than  before. 
We  are  sure  this  volnme  will  be  very  ac- 
ceptable.

Royal  Academy  of  Aoliquities  at  Stock, 
holm,  was  elected  an  Honorary  or  Forefgu 
Member. 

Uerr  Buficke  exhibited  several  fine  speci- 
mens  of  antique  and  metliteTtil  rings,  and 
a  gold  cup  Bct  with  preciotis  stone«^  and 
bearing  a  Sclavonic  laBcription  shewing  it 
to  have  belonged  to  the  empress  of  Ivan 
BaKstlividi,  czar  of  Russia  in  the  latter 
half  of  the  sixteenth  century.  Mr.  Farrcr 
exhibited  loiuc  heautifiil  exanaplea  of  cups 
nod  unguenraries  in  Roman  glasg,  and  nn 
ivory  cai^ket  from  Cordova,  noticed  in  our 
report  of  the  Archfeoloijicai  Institute. 

Mr.  Akermtin  commonicated  a  note  on 
souie  cQins  B«iJ  to  huve  been  fouud  in  the 
rums  of  Old  Panama.  He  was  convinced 
from  their  appearsoce  that  ibey  were 
uot  part  of  a  very  ancit:ut  deposit,  and 
Bujgeated  that,  if  really  discovered  in  th« 
way  described,  they  may  have  formed  part 
of  a  collection  made  in  the  seventeenth 
centur}'.  They  consisted  of  the  common 
third- brass  of  the  family  of  Constantine 
the  Great,  two,  however,  beinR  Greek,  and 
of  the  type  attributed  to  Fanormus  in 
Sicify. 

A  commujiicatioD  was  read  from  W,  M. 
Wylie.  es-q.  F.S.A,  on  Certain  Christian 
Sepulchral  Usages  of  Early  Times.  About 
fourteen  years  ni^o  several  skeletons  were 
found  in  the  ruins  of  the  ancient  church 
of  Butteiles,  near  Dieppe.  On  the  breast 
of  each  was  placed  a  cross,  rudely  cut  out 
of  sheet  lead,  on  which  a  simple  form  of 
absolution  was  engraved,  little  difering 
firora  the  formula  now  in  use.  The  Abbu 
Cochet  also  forwarded  for  cvhihition  a 
similar  leaden  cross,  fouad  in  the  old 
cemetery  of  Qniberville,  near  Dieppe,  but 
thn  inscription  of  this  ejcampk  is  illegible. 
These  crosses  appear  to  date  from  about 
the  eleventh  century,  and  some  have  been 
found  in  lliu  tomb^of  the  Biahopti  of  Metz 


of  that  date.  Two  have  also  been  met 
with  in  the  precincts  of  the  calbedral 
churches  of  Chichester  and  Lincoln.  That 
of  Chichester  was  found  in  the  tomb  of 
Godefridufl,  a  bishop  of  the  time  of  Wil- 
liam the  Conqueror,  and  bears  a  very  de- 
cided form  of  absolution,  commenciiig 
*•  Absolvimus  te  Goilefride,^'  ike.  These 
crosses  were  probably  employed  as  amii* 
lets  again&t  demoniacal  poasesaioQ.  An 
instance  of  the  snpulcbral  use  of  such 
forms  of  absolution  ia  recorded  in  Mabil- 
lou*9  AquaIs  of  the  Betiedictifie  Order,  on 
the  death  of  the  celebrated  Abelard,  a.u. 
1112,  when  Heloise  applies  to  the  Abbat 
of  Cluny  for  such  a  formula,  **  ut  eepul- 
cro  eju«  guspendatur."'  It  was  granted 
apparently  as  a  matter  of  course,  and  tt 
may  hence  be  inferred  that  the  custom 
was  not  unusual.  Another  early  usage 
was  thsit  of  interring  with  the  dead  earthen 
vessels  containing  holy  water  and  charcoal 
on  which  iuceuae  had  been  sprinkled,  a 
rite  savouring  strongly  of  paganism*  These 
earthen  vesselj  have  repeatedly  been  found 
in  old  interments,  and  the  practice  was 
partially  continued  down  to  the  liixteenth 
century.  In  the  Rationale  of  Durnndus 
it  is  described  at  length,  and  advocated  as 
good  against  demoniac  possession.  In  the 
capitularies  of  Cbarlemai^ne  and  his  son 
Louiji,  the  bishops  are  charged  to  eradi* 
cate  superstitious  sepulchral  practices  pre- 
f  ailing  in  certain  districts.  These  are  not 
further  described,  but  were  probably  the 
same  which  in  the  preceding  century  were 
forbidden  as  ptigan  ceremonies,  at  the 
Council  of  Liptinie,  a.o.  743,  and  are 
enumerated  in  the  well-known  **  ladicu-

J.  Y.  AkermaQf  esq.  Secretary,  com* 
fflonicAted  a  note  on  the  ancient  Cemetery 
of  Kingaholm  near  Gloucester,  uccorapa- 
nied  by  a  groand^plan^  showing  the  ipots 
in  which  the  remaioa  of  very  cjirly  inter- 
ments, chiefly  of  the  Roman  period,  had 
been  discovered.  Among  these  were  many 
Roman  coins  from  the  cartieft  emperors 
down  to  the  penod  of  tim  Romans  leaving 
Britain;  the  mo£t  remarkaWe  of  which  were 
certain  pieces  in  miitdle-braaaf  bearing  the 
head  of  Claudius,  of  colonial  fabric^  and 
pouibly  coined  by  the  colonists  at  Glou- 
cester. With  regard  to  the  name  of  Kings- 
holme,  it  had  be«n  generally  attributed  to 
the  former  existence  of  an  Anglo-Saxon 
palace  on  the  spot;  but  Mr.  Akerntan 
was  inclined  to  consider  it  as  a  memorial 
of  the  contemploted  single  combat  between 
Canate  and  Edmund  Ironside,  which  ia 
mentioned  in  the  chronicles.  It  is  remark- 
able that  the  Danes  gave  the  name  of 
Holmgaog  to  combats  of  that  description # 

Edward  Fosa,  esq»  F.S.A,  read  some 
remarks  on  the  relationship  (hitbertu  un- 
known) between  Riehard  Fitzjomes,  bishop 
of  London,  and  the  Chief  Justice  Sir  Juhn 
Fitzjames.  He  has  ascertained  that  the 
latter  was  nephew*  to  the  former^  and  not 
a  brother  as  ^nme  writers  haf  e  supposed.

Dfc.2.  The  Hon.  Richard NeviUe,V.R 
The  Rev.  G.  Tucker,  Rector  of  Mus- 
bnry,  Devon,  communicated  an  account  of 
a  tessellated  pavement  discovered  by  him 
at  Uplyme,  in  that  county  ;  and  he  sent  a 
large  coloured  representation  of  tlie  floor* 
which  displays  considerable  richness  of 
design.  It  was  found  in  a  close  known 
as  the  "  Church  Field/'  in  which  exists  a 
large  heap  of  ruins  overgrown  with  brush- 
wood, and  traditionally  supposed  to  have 
been  the  site  of  a  church.  These  remains, 
however,  on  recent  examination,  proved 
to  be  those  of  a  Romitn  stiucture.  Frag- 
ments of  urns  and  hones,  as  also  a  great 
number  of  pooling  tiles  of  pentagonal  form, 
were  found  upon  the  tJoor*  No  other 
vestiges  of  Roman  ocouiiatiou  appear  to 
have  been  noticed  in  this  locality. 

T^  Hon.  R.  Neville  laid  before  the 
meeting  a  large  collection  of  retics  of  the 
An^lo-Saxon  period,  disinterred  in  the 
course  of  his  researches  io  the  winter  of 
1852,  ou  Linton  Heath,  Cambridgeshire^ 
and  in  the  Immediate  vicinity  of  Bsrtlow» 
and  the  remarkable  sepulchral  hills  at  that 
place.  This  site  appears  tu  have  been  a 
cemetery,  of  nearly  the  same  age  and  people 
OS  that  investigated  so  snceessftiUy  by  Mr. 
Nefille  at  Little  Wilhraham,  as  shown  in 
his  beautiful  work,  the  "  Sajton  Obsequies 
Illustrated."  The  objects  disinterred  at 
Bartlow  comprised  the  iron  weapons  of 
the  Saxon  race,  swords,  spears  of  great 
length,  knives,  &c.,  and  numerous  iron 
bosses  of  their  shields,  which  were  pro- 
bably of  wood.  The  ornaments  moat 
striking  for  richness  of  workmanship  and 
perfect  preservation  are  brooches  of  gilt 
bronze^  of  Urge  dimensions^ chased  in  high 
relief,  and  occasionally  enriched  with  a 
kind  of  enamel.  Several  examples  occur 
of  the  remarkable  wooden  pails  mounted 
in  ornamental  frames  of  bronze,  occasion* 
ally  found  with  Saxon  interments,  and  sup- 
posed by  some  antiquaries  to  have  heca 
the  vessels  used  for  ale  and  mead  in  the 
carousinga  of  that  people.  A  single  vessel, 
of  very  thin  pellucid  gUiss,  was  found,  ele- 
gantly fn^hiuned,  and  bearing  some  resem- 
blance to  those  discovered  in  Kent,  pre- 
served in  Dr.  Faussett's  museum,  which 
contains  the  best  and  most  perfect  speci- 
mens of  Anglo-Sajcon  glass  ever  brought 
together  in  England.  Numerous  minor 
personal  ornaments  were  obtained  by  Mr. 
Neville,  some  of  them  unique — heads  of 
coloured  glass,  amber,  and  crystaU  in  large 
nnmberSf  and  apparently  worn  by  either

ample  in  Italy  as  early  as  the  fifth  century, 
together  with  certain  points  of  conformity 
between  that  and  the  designs  which  occur 
in  Ireland.  In  the  conversation  which 
ensued,  Lord  Talbot  stated  that  the  casts 
of  scolptared  cros&es  which  had  excited  so 
much  attention  in  the  Dublin  Exhibition, 
as  also  the  cast  of  the  great  sculptured 
arch  of  Tuaoi  Cathedral,  the  circular  win-

Mr.  Franks  stated  that  this  relic  had  been 
found  Bome  years  since  at  Cambridge,  in 
the  mound  on  which  the  Norman  castle 
was  placed,  and  he  expressed  the  hope  that 
it  might  be  transferred  to  tho  collection 
formed  at  the  Pitzwilliant  Museum,  where 
other  curious  sculptures  found  near  the 
castle  had  been  deposited. 

Mr.  W.  Figg  sent  a  notice  of  the  dis-

Numerous  antiquities  have  been  found, 
and  amongst  the  coins  lately  added  to  Mr. 
Neville's  cabinet  is  one  of  Cunobeline,

be  an  unpublished  type.

who  was  taken  priaoner  in  battle  by  Rich- 
ard CoQur  de  Lion.  This  grant,  which 
bears  his  seal,  appears  to  have  been  un- 
noticed by  French  writera. 

Mr*  Le  Keuz  brought  a  vessel  of  glaaed 
ware,  stated  to  have  been  found  filled  with 
coins  in  excavations  for  building  a  church 
at  Ealing.  The  labourers  who  brought  to 
light  this  treasure  bad  decamped,  and  no 
clue  to  the  age  of  the  coins  could  be  ob- 
tained. 

Mr,  Farrer  exhibited  a  beautiful  ivory 
caaket  of  ehiborately  pierced  work,  with 
spread  aaglea,  and  other  curious  ornaments. 
It  la  of  Saracenic  work,  and  appears,  by 
an  inscription  in  Cutic  character,  to  be  a

was  occupied  by  Rusiiian  troops.  After  a 
severe  struggle  the  villai^e  was  gained,  but 
the  victont  were  immediMtely  attacked  by 
a  body  of  10,000  Russians,  who  were  sent 
to  reinforce  their  countrymen*  In  the 
battle  whit'h  ensued  the  Russians  are  said 
to  have  suffered  severely.  Their  attack 
was  unsuccf bsfulf  and  both  sides  retired  in

engaged  is  stated  at  1H,U00  Liti  the  side  of 
the  Turks,  and  ab^ut  the  same  number

Russia.  Before  the  communication  of 
these  terms  eould  hare  reached  St.  Peters- 
burg, the  intelligence  of  the  entry  of  the 
fleet  into  tbe  Black  Sra,  called  forth  a 
communicatioD  from  the  Emperor,  which 
was  addressed  to  Austria,  and  to  the  effect 
that  tbe  Emperor  would  send  no  repre- 
senttttive;  tc^  any  congress  of  the  powers, 
as  the  prejicnt  question  waa  between  Russia 
and  Turkey  alone ;  but  tb.it,  if  the  Turks 
desired  to  treaty  be  had  appointed  Prince 
Meuschikoff  plenipotentiary  for  that  pur* 
pose.  To  tbe  commuDicatioo  of  tbe  entry 
of  the  fleets  the  Emperor  has  replied  to 
tbe  English  and  French  governments  by 
the  question,  whether  live  presence  of  the 
fleets  was  intended  to  be  perfectly  neutral. 
Tbe  sole  object  of  £>uch  a  question  would 
appear  to  be  to  throw  the  odium  of  a  de^ 
claration  of  war  opoa  the  western  poweri^ 
and  tbrrisby  sever  if  possible  the  connec- 
tion between  them  and  the  Germsin  courts. 

Sweden  and  Denmark  hato  declared 
their  intention  to  remain  neutral  ifwdtr 
should  ensue,  biit  it  is  stated  that  the 
Emperor  of  Ruisia  has  notified  to  the  latter 
state  thut  it  muiit  take  one  side  or  the 
other, 

Baden. — Negotiations  have  taken  place 
concerning  the  controversy  that  lias  sprung 
np  between  the  Government  and  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Freibnrg,  under  the  annpice^  of 
Anstria.  The  Baden  envoy,  Htrr  von 
Meyseuberg,  a  Roman  Catholic  himself, 
went  to  Vienna  to  confer  with  the  Austrian 
Nuncio,  The  priests  who  were  arrested 
on  the  24th  Dec,  for  huviitg  obeyed  the 
Archbishop,  were  released  before  the  term 
of  their  impriaooment  had  expired,  to 
enable  them  to  perform  their  pastoral 
duties  during  the  Christmas  festivad.  On 
theopeaiog  of  the  Diet  the  Regent  ex* 


pressed  a  hope  that  the  differences  were 
likely  to  be  accotntnodated  j  but  it  is  since 
htated  that  the  iirgotiations  have  been  un- 
^nccessfnl,  the  Archbishop  having  refused 
to  abate  an  bta  of  his  pretenaioos, 

TViHn,  Dec.  31 . — There  have  been  some 
ratber  serious  disturbances  in  the  Val

tax  recently  imposed  by  the  Government, 
The  body  of  insurgents  marched  upon 
Aoata,  But  early  intellii^enoc  of  the  move- 
ment having  roached  tho  Intenilente  of

sharpshooters  and  a  few  gendarmes,  and 
with  the  asiistance  of  tbe  Bishop  of  Aosta 
iudnced  the  rabble  to  lay  down  their  arms, 
without  any  con^ct  actually  taking  place. 
About  200  of  the  most  active  of  tbem 
were  arrested,  and  among  them  6  priests* 
Order  is  now  quite  re-established.

of  cQUft  ductal  has  been  executed  by  the

removing  some  of  the  churches  in  the  City 


witlt  a  view  to  a  supply  of  some  of  the 
suburbs.  The  reverend  gentleman  Btntea 
that  a  smari  number  only  of  the  City 
churches  have  considerable  and  encou- 
raging congregations,  two  orthreeof  them 
amounting  to  newly  500.    On  the  other

of  tliitig^  in  thfl  City,  it  has  been  shown 
by  0  return  miide  to  (he  House  of  Com- 
moot  by  the  sub-diTit^ion  of  puriflb  coiu> 
aiUstoQfr«  tbot  no  fewer  than  58  now 
cburcUes  are  re(|nired  in  the  diocese  of 
London.  Of  thii  nnuiber  49  urc  required 
for  the  metropotitiin  di^tnct  and  immediate 
(uburbs,  nnd  nine  for  towns  and  dialricti 
witjiin  eight  miles  of  St  FunVe.  Mr. 
Hume  cotLttodsthflt  leas  than  *i()  churches 
would  meet  the  wants  of  the  population 
resident  within  the  City  of  London  Union ^ 
and  consequently  at  least  33  cbnrches 
might  be  advantageotibly  taken  down  and 
rebuilt  in  such  other  parts  of  the  metro^ 
polls  nnd  its  environs  ha  are  deticient  in 
church  accommodation. 

The  followins^  are  the  dctjuli  of  the 
plan  : — The  number  of  Churches  proposed 
to  he  dealt  with  is  50 ;  it  is  proposed  to 
remoTe  (at  present)  30,  and  to  retain  20 — 
the  parishes  whose  churches  are  moved  to 
be  consolidated  with  thofie  which  are  left 
standing.  In  arruugtng  the  iucomes  for 
the  coosoHdated  parishes^  the  i^le  would 
be  this  ; — To  every  parish  the  population 
of  which  exceeds  1,000,  450(.  per  nnuum 
to  be  assigned  i  for  eirery  additional  10(1 
parishioners  add  12/.  a-year.  The  aggre- 
gate income  of  the  50  churches  is  20,560/.; 
the  aggregate  income  of  the  1^0  proposed 
consolidated  pftrishes  wonld  be  1  l,:i&3/. ; 
there  would  remain  to  the  JO  churches  to 
be  removed  9,507/.  giving  306/.  and  a 
fraction  fur  each.  The  additional  sum  re- 
quired  to  make  up  a  sufficient  ineome  for 
i  cleriEnrman,  fVom  500/.  to  7C)0/.»  should 
be  made  up  in  the  new  locality  to  which 
thd  church  is  removed. 

In  the  following  list  the  first  church  iu 
every  group  is  that  which  it  is  suggested 
ihould  he  retained  as  the  sole  parish 
dinrch  of  the  consolidated  parishes ;  the

Martin's  Ludgate. 

Inasmuch  aa  the  prescotation  to  the 
churches  proposed  to  be  dealt  with  is  in 
different  hands,  it  is  suggested  that  each 
patron  shall  have  a  turn  of  presentation. 
The  patrons  of  the  churches  left  standing 
will  pretFat  to  them  on  each  vacancy  in 
the  order  they  da  now.  The  patronage, 
howeTer,  will  be  more  valuable ;  as ,  the 
parish  being  a  conioUdation  of  two  or 
more  existing  parishes,  the  income  will  be 
increased  to  the  amouut  of  500/.  or  600/. 
a-year.  The  patrons  of  the  churches  to 
be  removed  will  present  to  them  in  the 
order  they  do  now,  the  ouly  difference  will 
be,  that  they  will  appoint  to  those  churches 
for  new  localities,  and  with  inoresaed  in- 
comes. This  may  be  made  still  plainer 
by  supposing  n  case.  It  might  be  decided 
to  remore  St.  Albim's  Wood- street ^  and 
St.  Michael  Daesiahaw,  and  to  leave  St. 
Mary's  Alderraanbury  standing  to  be  the 
pansh  church  for  the  three  consolidated 
parishes.  The  parttoulara  of  tbeao  three 
parishes  at  preaeat  are  : — ^St.  Michael  Bos- 
sUbaw,  patrons,  Dejin  and  Chapter  of  St. 
Paurs,  value  230/,;  St.  Mary  Alderman- 
bury,  patrons,  parishioners,  value  255/.  i 
St.  Alban's  Wood-street,  patrons,  Dean 
and  Chapter  of  St.  Paurs  and  Eton  Col- 
lege alternately,  value  247/.  When  these 
three  pnrishes  arc  united  tuto  one,  to  be 
still  cAlled  St.  Mary^s  Aldermaobury^  and 
St.  Miehscrs  is  removed  with  its  incum- 
bent to  Paddington,  and  St.  Alban's  to 
Stepney,  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  St. 
Paul' a  will  present  on  every  vacancy  to 
St  Micbaers  Paddtngton,  with  a  house, 
and  the  income  guaranteed  from  reaouroea 
in  its  new  locality  to  600^  a-year,  with  a

Middlttex  HosftitaL — During  the  laat 
antiiQin  this  ho!i|iital  has  been  again  con- 
siderably enlarged.  Two  wards  have  been 
added  to  the  female  cancer  establiahixiient, 
and  room  has  been  provided  for  an  in- 
creaNcd  Dumber  of  male  cancer  patients. 


The  enlargement  of  this  branch  of  the 
charity  baa  been  made  iu  order  to  cirry 
out  the  benehcent  iotentiona  of  the  late 
Sir  Joseph  de  Courcy  Laffao,  Bart.,  who, 
by  Ilia  wilU  desired  that  the  rem<tioder  of 
his  personal  property  should  be  laid  out  in 
the  purchaae  of  an  aooujil  income  io  the 
3,  per  Cent.  Consols,  for  the  purpose  of  a 
Cancer  Ward  in  the  Middlesex  Hospital. 
In  consequence  of  the  general  enlargement 
and  improvement  the  Hospital  is  ren- 
dered capable  of  receiving  310  iD-paiients. 
During  the  last  year  the  total  number  of 
2,305  in-patients,  and  l*i,G22  out-door 
patients,  received  relief  from  the  institu- 
tion. 

Land  occupied  by  tiaiiwayr. — Out  of 
8, 537 1 763  acres  of  kind  in  the  several  coun- 
ties in  England,  61,496  acres  are  occupied 
by  railways  ;  and  in  Wales,  out  of  639,427 
acre-^,  3,550  acres  arc  so  occupied, 

Jreiand* — At  the  recent  meeting  of  the 
liiMh  Church  Mission  Society,  the  ReT.  £. 
Bickerateth  made  the  following  stutement : 
— •♦  It  had  been  confidently  staled,  nnd  on 
no  less  authority  than  that  of  the  Bishop 
of  Ousory  himself,  that  there  had  been  not 
lej-s  thao  30,000  converla  from  Romani»in 
wiihin  the  lost  few  yeara  in  Ireland.  There 
bad  unquestionably  been  that  number  of 
converts  who  had  come  out  from  Roman- 
laDi  during  the  last  four  or  five  years,  and 
adopted  the  creed  of  the  Scriptures,  which 
was  the  creed  of  Protestantjs  -,  but  he  be- 
lievedi  at  the  time  time,  that  that  number 
was  a  most  inadi'qunte  representation  of 
the  real  extent  of  the  work  ;  nnd  that, 
when  they  spoke  of  30tfl00  known  con- 
vertii,  they  might  take  that  fact  as  by 
itself  an  indication  of  many  thoufands 
more  of  whom  they  knew  nothing/'

GRXEaAJ.  Von  Radowitx. 

l>ec.  25.    At  Bedin,  in  hU  67th  year, 

>«Derji]  Von  RttdowUi!. 

Joseph  Von  Radowiti  wdi  born  Feb,  ^ 
17^,  ttt  Bland  en  berg,  among  the  Hartz 
{QoanUiQs.  His  familj  btrlonged  origin- 
aJIj  to  the  small  nobility  of  Hungary  ; 
but  hu  grandfather  had  settled  m  Ger- 
many, and  hivH  fathei-,  who  had  stadled  law 
at  Q,,t«;,.,r,vti,  enjoyed  the  title  of  State 
1  in  the  Duchy  of  Brunswick* 

J  ived  his  early  cduciition  at  a 

jhool  iti  AUenberg,  and^  iiutil  the  age  of 

Ttetn,  was  brought  up  as  a  Protestant, 
mother  being  of  that  faith.  After- 
wards his  father,  a  Roman- Catholic,  be- 
came his  iustructor  until  he  wb&  old 
enongh  to  commence  the  military  career 
for  which  he  had  been  destined  in  the  ser- 
fice  of  Wcftphalia.  That  country  wai 
thctt   ruled   by    Jerome  Bonapartef   and 

lUng  Radowlts  waa  sent  to  France  to 
feet  hia  military  atudi^a,  and  learn 
nch*  In  1^1*  he  entered  actirc  aer- 
vice  as  an  artillery  officer,  hating  become 
highly  proficient  in  mathematical  science. 

At  the  battle  of  Leipjiic  he  commanded 
a  Westphalian  battery,  waa  wounded,  and 
taken  prisoner.  Previous  exhibitions  of 
bravery  had  procured  fur  hh  name  a  place 
in  the  roll  of  the  Legion  of  Honour, 
Upon  the  dis-^olution  of  the  Westphalian 
kingdom,  and  the  returt^  of  the  Elector  of 
Heaae-Caa^icl,  Radowitz  entered  the  aer- 
rice  of  the  latter,  and  maJc  with  the 
Hc-s^iiao  artillery  the  campaign  aguinst 
rrcuice,  Hia  talents  t|ukkly  cotoraanded 
attention  of  hia  superiorSj  and  in  1B1& 

ling   then  only  eighteen)  he   woa  ap- 

linted  first  teacher  of  mathematica  and 
military  sciences  to  the  sebool  for  ca- 
deti  at  CasBcL  In  1823  he  had  riaeji  to 
the  rank  of  Captain «  and  wma  attached  to 
the  Electoral  Court  as  military  and  ma- 
thnnaticail  teacher  of  the  heir  apparent. 
Thi^  WAS  the  turning  point  of  hiji  destiny  ; 
and  his  conduct  at  thia  period,  under  tery 
trying  circumstances,  may  be  cited  as  an 
uiKiiiiWLfible  proof  of  the  high  sen&c  of 
d  ivalrous  honour,  the  unbend- 

II J _  ^,  the  moral  courage,  and  the 

lofty  mdtipendence  of  character,  wblch 
neter  left  him.  The  Elector  of  Hesse, 
who  wan  man-ied  to  the  lister  of  William 
Hi,  of  Pruasia,  pertjmfitnrilj  insisted  that 
hia  mistreas,  Emily  Ortkpp,  on  whom  he 
had  bestowed  the  title  of  Countess,  should 
receive  aome  mark  of  personal  recognition 
or  attention  from  his  royal  consort.  The 
Electrcfls  consulted  Radowit2>  who  boldly 


adrised  her  not  to  submit  to  1 
tion.  One  of  his  tetters  on  this  delicate 
topic  fell  into  the  Elector's  hauils,  auJ  he 
instantly  became  a  marked  and  ruined  man 
so  long  as  be  remained  in  Hesse.  He  re- 
paired to- Berlin,  where  the  sacrifices  he 
had  incurred  in  the  cause  of  truth  and 
honour  for  a  daughter  of  Prussia,  oatu- 
raJly  formed  a  very  high  recommendation. 
He  was  immediately  indemnified,  so  far  as 
military  rank  and  employment  were  con- 
cerned, by  receiving  exact  equivalents  in 
the  Prussian  service  for  what  he  had  lost. 
He  became  mathematical  tutor  to  Prince 
Albrecht  of  Prussia,  and  was  made  a 
Captain  on  the  stafif.  He  publbhed  two 
works  on  geometry  and  one  on  ricochet 
during  the  ten  first  years  of  his  new  ca- 
reer. He  was  elected  member  of  the 
highest  military  board,  a  profestor  of  the 
military  academy,  and  an  fiiamincr  of 
artillery  students*  In  182B  he  became 
Major,  and  in  1830  chief  of  the  artillery 
genemrs  staff. 

While  thus  advancing  through  the  grades 
of  military  preferment  he  was  forming  i 
relation  of  a  yet  more  important  kind. 
A  religious  mystic  and  enthusiast,  his  dis- 
position  agreed  ejtuctly  with  that  of  the 
Crown  Prince,  now  the  King  of  PrussU; 
and  thii^  geniality  of  temper  and  habtt 
proved  of  far  greater  power  than  the  di- 
vcraity  of  the  dogmas  which,  as  Protestant 
and  Catholic,  the  one  and  the  other  held. 

In  \^'2B  Radowitz  married  the  Couote&s 
Maria  Vo&s,  daughter  of  the  ambassador. 
He  was  now,  despite  of  his  origin,  a  recog* 
nised  member  of  the  court,  and,  without 
any  of  the  cares  or  reaponai  bill  lies  of  otfice, 
shared  all  its  counsels.  In  the  year  1829 
he  published  two  books  remarkable  for  the 
contrast  of  their  subjects.  The  first  of 
these  was  **  Iconography  of  the  Saints,*' 
containing  historic  notict;^  of  all  the  re* 
presentations  of  the  suhiti  which  have  come 
down  to  posterity  io  pictures,  coins,  and 
other  memorials ;  with  remarks  on  the 
meaning  of  the  emblems,  attitudes,  and 
other  characteristics  with  which  they  have 
been  invested.  The  other  work  was  called 
**  The  Theatre  of  War  in  Turkey,**  being 
an  application  of  8trategt?tical  principles 
to  tlie  topographical  features  of  the  coun- 
try between  the  Danube  and  the  Balkan. 

In  1836  RadovviLx  was  named  Military 
Plenipotentiary  of  Prussia  at  the  Germanic 
Diet.  This  appointment,  a  kind  of  hon- 
ourable banishmeut,  he  owed  to  the  influ^ 
ence  of  his  opponents  at  court  and  in  the 
ministry.

Lady  of  the  Bedchamber  to  her  Majesty 
Qneen  Adelaide,  which  oftice  she  retained

Her  Ladyship's  remains  were  conveyed 
on  Pridsy,  Dec.  23,  for  iatermeot  to 
Coiteay,  near  Norwich,  the  seat  of  Lord

where,  after  the  channtingof  the  Miserere 
pjfftlm  and  the  prescribed  prayers,  ihey

Tut.  Earl  of  DARTSfooTH. 

Nor,  22,  At  Patshull,  co.  Stafford, 
having  nearly  compkted  his  (JDth  year,  the 
l^ght  HoQ.Wtlh'ftm  Legge,  fourth  Earl  of 
Dartmouth  and  Viscoant  Lewiaham,  co. 
Kent  (TTM),  fifth  Baron  Dartmouth,  of 
Dartmouth,  co.  Devon  (1682),  a  Vice- 
Lieutenant  of  Staffordshire,  Colonel  of  the 
Staffordshire  Militia,  a  Director  of  the 
Bntish  Institution,  and  Councillor  of 
Kind's  College,  London,  D.C.L.,  F*R.S., 
and  P.S.A. 

Lord  Dartmouth  was  born  tn  the  parish 
of  St.  George,  Hanover-square,  on  the 
29th  Nov.  17H4,  the  eldest  son  of  George 
third  Earl  of  Dartmouth,  K.G.  sometime 
Lord  Chamberlain  to  King  George  the 
Third,  by  Lady  Frances  Finch,  second 
daughter  of  Heoeage  third  Earl  of  Ayles. 
ford.  He  was  a  member  of  Christchurcb, 
Oxford,  where  he  graduated  B.A*  in  1805, 
and  was  created  D.C.L.  in  1831. 

On  the  Ist  Not.  1810,  he  succeeded  to 
tbe  peerage  on  tbe  death  of  his  father. 

Lord  Dartmouth  was  warmly  attached 
t(T  the  throne  and  the  principles  of  the 


conatitotton.  He  adhered  to  the  Conser- 
vative party,  but  was  in  no  degree  an  op* 
[voscr  of  those  necessary  practical  improve- 
ments which  an  advanced  stage  of  sodal 
progress,  a  vastly  increased  man ufacturiog 
system,  and  an  enormously  extended  com- 
merce, require.  His  objections,  therefore, 
were  rather  to  the  de toils  than  to  the  prin- 
ciples of  severiil  public  measures  which  he 
opposed.  In  Parliament^  however,  beyond 
voting,  his  lords  hip  did  not  take  any  active 
part.  In  the  country  he  was  vigilant,  yet 
not  ostentatious,  in  the  performance  of 
every  duty ;  and  his  regular  attendance  on 
the  magisterial  bench,  and  his  appearance 
generally  at  the  meetings  of  the  many 
charities  iu  the  county  and  the  district,  to 
which  he  contributed,  produced  a  lai^ 
amount  of  good  ;  his  decisions  as  a  magis- 
trate bang  sound  and  dti<»criminative)  and 
his  advice  as  a  friend  of  the  iastitudons 
he  supported  always  of  the  most  valuable 
kind.  U  is  lo  rdship  never  mod  e  atiy  attempt 
at  oratorical  display  ;  bat  a  promment  fea- 
ture of  his  character,  as  in  the  case  of  the 
illustrious  Duke  of  Wellington,  was  a  con- 
stant sense  of  duty,  and  an  earnest  desire 
to  perform  it,  always  feeling  his  deep 
responsibility  us  an  English  peer,  a  gentle- 
man, and  a  Christian*  In  Birmingham 
and  its  neighbourhood  especially,  his  lord- 
ship took  an  active  part  in  all  public  mat- 
ters. By  his  presence,  advice,  and  liberal 
pecuniary  assistance,  he  identified  his  name 
with  every  inslitulion  of  a  bcnevolcrtt  cha- 
ractert  and  his  private  muni  licence,  we 
may  safely  say,  knew  no  limits.  It  would 
be  Impossible  to  particularise  the  instances 
in  which  the  noble  Earl's  liberality  was 
manifested  ;  but  his  constant  connection 
with  the  General  Hospital,  and  the  part 
he  took  in  establiiihing  the  School  of  Me- 
dicine, since  expanded  into  the  Queen's 
College,  the  Botanical  Gardens  at  Edg- 
baston,  and  the  Society  of  Arts,  testifies 
to  the  interest  he  feh  in  the  welfare  of  the 
town  ;  he  was  amangit  the  earliest  promo- 
ters of  the  Church  of  England  Cemetery, 
and  only  a  few  weeks  ago  indicated  hii 
continued  interest  by  a  handsome  donation 
towards  opening  its  church  for  divine 
service.  He  likewise  materially  aided  in 
founding  the  late  Philosophical  lostitn* 
tion.  and  subscribed  most  liberally  towards 
the  proposed  Midland  Institute. 

His  sympathy  with  tbe  working  clasiei 
was  strong,  and  his  efforts  for  their  im* 
provement  earnest  and  continuous  j  nor 
in  promoting  their  good  did  be  seek  to 
prevent  Judicious  pastimes.  Bull-buiting 
and  dog'tighting  were  comrann  amuse- 
ments when  West  Bromwlch  was  a  village, 
not  a  very  great  many  years  ago :  his  lord- 
ship interfered  to  stop  these  discreditable 
proceedings,  but,  doing  this,  he  gave  tbe

Obituary.— 7%^  Earl  of  Portsmouth. 


[Feb. 


inhabitants  the  pririlege  of  acceis  to  five 
acres  of  land  which  he  inclosed,  for  cricket, 
trapball,  racket,  running,  leaping,  and 
other  games  and  exercises  in  which  its 
frequenters  might  please  to  indulge  ;  thus, 
with  a  benevolent  foresight,  anticipating, 
in  some  degree,  the  present  movement  in 
favour  of  parks  and  grounds  for  popular 
recreation.  His  acquaintance  with  many 
of  the  branches  of  abstract  and  eiperi- 
mental  science  was  familiar  and  profound, 
and  not  only  in  England,  but  in  trans- 
atlantic states,  his  patronage,  pecuniary 
and  otherwise,  was  freely  bestowed. 

From  an  early  period  of  bis  life,  bis 
lordship  took  a  lively  interest  in  the  King's 
Own  Ilegiment  of  Staffordshire  Militia. 
He  was  appointed  Major  in  that  regiment 
the  23rd  Oct.  1805,  and  succeeded  to  the 
command  as  Colonel  on  the  death  of  its 
Colonel,  the  Earl  of  Uxbridge,  by  com- 
mission dated  15th  April,  1812.  In  1U13, 
when  a  revolutionary  movement  broke  out 
in  Holland,  after  the  destructive  battle  of 
Leipsic,  the  Earl  of  Dartmouth  set  an  ex- 
ample to  the  domestic  branch  of  the  military 
force  by  offering  his  personal  service,  and 
endeavouring,  in  conjunction  with  Lieut.- 
Colonel  Newdigate,  to  induce  the  regiment 
to  volunteer  as  a  provisional  battalion,  in 
aid  of  the  general  army,  for  foreign  ser- 
vice. His  lordship's  gallant  and  generous 
offer  not  having  received  a  very  extensive 
response  in  the  regiment,  the  project  was 
abandoned  ;  but  507  men,  with  a  full  pro- 
portion of  officers,  were  accented  by  the 
Government,  and  joined  the  Guards,  and 
Other  infantry  regiments,  which  distin- 
guished themselves  at  the  crowning  struggle 
on  the  plains  of  Waterloo.  The  regiment 
under  his  command  in  IBM  would  bear 
comparison,  both  in  numbers  andcfficiency, 
with  any  regiment  in  the  service  ;  and  the 
mildness  with  which  he  enforced  the  vari- 
ous parts  uf  military  discipline,  together 
with  his  courteous  demeanour  towards  the 
officers,  irrespective  of  rank  or  other  social 
considerations,  gave  him  an  advantage  be- 
yond ordinary  comparison.  In  1814  the 
regiment  was  disembodied,  and  so  re- 
mained until  the  escape  of  Buonaparte 
from  Elba,  in  the  spring  of  the  following 
Tear,  when  it  replaced  the  troops  of  the  line 
in  Ireland,  and  the  Earl  of  Dartmouth  was 
on  duty  with  the  regiment  until  1 8 1 G.  On 
the  revival  of  this  useful  and  constitutional 
force,  last  year,  his  lordship  entered  with 
great  zeal  upon  the  work  of  its  organiza- 
tion ;  and  to  the  last  his  lordship  cherished 
the  greatest  solicitude  that  the  re- organised 
battalion  which  had  been  placed  under  his 
charge  should  become  as  effective  as  the 
one,  which,  in  the  more  palmy  days  of  its 
history  had  been  proudly  distinguished  as 
the  personal  guard  of  his  Majesty  George 


the  Third,  and  flatteringly  recorded  in  the 
annals  of  the  Horse  Guards. 

So  late  as  Saturday,  the  5th  Nov.  he  at- 
tended a  meeting  in  Stafford,  at  which 
some  of  the  principal  officers  of  the  Staf- 
fordshire Militia  regiments  assembled,  to 
confer  with  the  Deputy  Lieutenants  on  the 
subject  of  the  accommodation  required  for 
the  dep6ts  of  the  three  regiments,  at  Staf- 
ford, Lichfield,  and  Newcastle.  It  was 
remarked  on  that  occasion  that  Lord 
Dartmouth  seemed  to  feel  the  influence  of 
the  cold  more  than  usual ;  but  no  one 
ascribed  it  to  any  more- serious  cause  than 
slight  temporary  indisposition,  nor  antici- 
pated that  the  county,  and  the  large  district 
through  which  the  influence  of  his  charac- 
ter was  felt,  would  so  soon  be  deprived  of 
his  valuable  services  and  example. 

Lord  Dartmouth  had  usually  resided  at 
Sand  well,  near  Birmingham.  The  Patshull 
estate,  in  the  same  county,  was  purchased 
by  him  from  Sir  Robert  Pigot,  Bart,  about 
five  years  since;  and  though  he  had  occa- 
sionally resided  there,  it  was  only  during 
the  last  summer  that  his  lordship  and 
family  had  removed  to  it  from  Sandwell, 
with  tlie  intention  of  making  it  a  perma- 
nent residence. 

Lord  Dartmouth  w&i  twice  married  : 
first,  on  the  r)th  April,  1821,  to  Lady 
Frances  Charlotte  Talbot,  eldest  daughter 
of  Charles -Chetwyud  Ft.cund  Earl  Tal- 
bot. By  that  lady,  who  dii'd  on  the  4th 
Oct.  1823,  lie  hod  i»ss:ue  two  sons,  George 
Viscount  liCM^isham,  who  died  in  IB'J3, 
aged  sixteen  months ;  and  Wi Ilium-Walter, 
now  Karl  of  Dartmouth. 

The  Earl  married  secondly,  Oct.  *5, 
1828,  the  Hon.  Frances  Barrington, second 
daughter  of  George  5th  Viscount  Barring- 
ton  ;  and  by  that  ludy,  who  died  Aug.  11, 
1849,  he  had  further  issue  fifteen  children, 
sii  sons  and  nine  daughters,  who  are  all 
living,  and  at  present  unmarried.  The 
Hon.  George  Barringtou  Legge,  the  eldest 
son  of  this  family,  is  a  Second  Lieutenant 
in  the  Rifle  Brigade. 

The  present  Earl  was  born  in  1823,  and 
married  in  184()  his  second -cousin  Lady 
Augusta  Finch,  eldest  daughter  of  the  Earl 
of  Aylesford,  by  whom  he  has  issue  Wil- 
liam-Heneage  now  Viscount  Lcwisham, 
born  in  1B51,  and  other  children.  Ilis 
lordship  has  been  M.P.  for  South  Staf- 
fordshire in  the  present  Parliament.

junior  to  his  brother,  was  the  cetebratrd 
man  whose  death  we  have  juiit  recorded. 
Lord  Plunket  was  bom  In  that  town  in 
July,  1761.  In  a  pecuniary  sense  his 
prospect  of  iuheritanre  was  small,  but  na* 
ture  compensated  him  by  the  most  pre* 
cious  of  her  gift«: — ii  sound  mind  iu  t 
Tigorons  frame.  A  few  of  the  north  of 
Ireland  Preabyteriana  doubt  the  doctrine 
of  tbe  Trinity,  as  it  is  generally  received 
in  Christian  cliurchea,  and  of  that  number 
was  Mr.  Thomas  Plunket.  While  yet  a 
comparatively  young  man  he  removed  with 
his  family  to  DubHn,  where  he  became 
tbe  minister  of  Strand-itreet  Chapel.  Tbb 
change  greatly  facilitated  an  object  rery 
dear  to  bis  heart,  that  of  giving  a  liberal 
education  and  learned  professions  to  both 
h\»  sons.  Patrick,  the  eldest,  became  a 
phystciao,  died  childle»«,  and,  we  belicTe, 
uumarried,  more  than  forty  years  ago, 
bequeathing  to  his  brother  W^illiam  Plun- 
ket a  large  library  aud  a  very  comtiderable 
fortune.  William  was,  however,  yet  a 
boy  when  death  removed  his  father  from  a 
world,  in  which  his  struggles  were  at  once

[Feb. 


severe  and  unsucceflsful.  He  died  in  em- 
barrassed circumstances,  and  left  to  his 
congregation  the  care  of  his  family.  This 
appeal  was  handsomely  responded  to,  and, 
thoagh  the  Unitarians  in  Dublin  were 
neither  numerous  nor  wealthy,  still  a  suf- 
ficient sum  was  subscribed  to  pay  Mr. 
Plunket's  debts,  as  well  as  to  defray  the 
expense  of  keeping  the  younger  son  at 
school,  and  completing  the  education  of 
the  elder,  who  soon  found  himself  in  a 
condition  to  return  their  assistance  as 
well  as  to  contribute  to  the  expenses  of 
William  Plunket,  who  had  resolved  to  en- 
gage in  tlie  profession  of  the  law,  upon 
which  he  entered  in  Hilary  Term,  17B7| 
having  previously  obtained  a  scholarship 
and  graduated  with  considerable  credit  at 
Trinity  College,  Dublin.  He  was  there 
the  contemporary  of  the  well-known  Arch- 
bishop Magee  :  they  were  both  natives  of 
the  same  county,  both  of  humble  origin, 
both  the  architects  of  their  own  fortunes, 
both  men  who  reached  the  highest  digni- 
ties in  their  respective  professions,  and 
both  "  sworn  friends  and  true,"  who  as- 
sisted each  other  in  the  race  of  life  till  all 
its  difficulties  were  subdued.  Mr.  Plun- 
ket was  called  to  the  bar  in  1787.  He 
had  already  acquired  no  small  fame  for 
oratory  in  a  debating  club  called  the  His- 
torical Society,  which  in  those  days  held 
its  meetings  within  the  walls  of  the  Dublin 
University.  Lord  Charlemont,  who  was 
then  one  uf  the  leaders  of  the  Irish  Liberal 
party,  immediately  brought  him  into  the 
Irish  House  of  Commons  for  his  own  bo- 
rough of  Charlemont,  and  Mr.  Plunket 
at  once  commenced  his  political  career. 
He  was  bold,  sarcastic,  unsparing  :  at 
once  witty  and  logical,  popular  and  pru- 
dent. Stimulated  by  narrow  circumstances 
and  boundless  ambition,  he  gave  all  his 
days,  and  almost  all  his  nights,  to  toils 
which  politicians  "  court,  and  think  them 
joy  ;  *'  but,  though  capable  of  speaking  at 
the  shortest  notice,  he  yet  was  a  holiday 
orator.  He  conld  indeed  speak  with  ease 
and  effect  about  anything  or  nothing  ;  but 
he  never  relished  small  skirmishing,  and 
almost  always  reserved  himself  for  great 
occasions.  Not  that  )ie  ever  was  in  the 
habit  of  writing  pamphlets  ond  commit- 
ting them  to  memory,  but  it  seemed  as  if 
the  fervour  necessary  to  his  nobler  efforts 
could  only  be  excited  by  profound  emo- 
tions long  indulged,  supported  by  reason- 
ings so  cherished  and  nurtured  as  to  have 
become  a  part  of  his  being.  With  the 
every-day  business  of  luginlAtion  his  name 
is  therefore  little  associated,  while  the 
fame  which  he  acquired  in  the  Irish  House 
of  Commons  is  due  principally  to  the 
power  which  he  displayed  in  resisting  the 
Legislative  Union.  He  scarcely  could  be 
JO 


said  to  have  brought  to  its  discussion  the 
views  of  a  philosopher  or  the  experience 
of  a  statesman ;  but  from  night  to  night, 
daring  the  debates  on  the  Union,  ho  di- 
rected against  the  Treasury  Bench  a  per- 
fect hurricane  of  wrath.  Although  these 
efforts  conferred  no  benefit  on  his  conn- 
try,  they  tended  greatly  to  advance  his 
own  reputation ;  although  the  Viceregal 
Castle  would  not  capitulate,  he  took  Uie 
Four  Courts  by  storm.  The  palace  of  the 
Lord-Lieutenant  closed  its  gates,  but  in 
the  Temple  of  Justice  he  was  received  as 
her  most  favoured  son  ;  a  professional 
income,  which  had  been  reckoned  by 
hundreds  soon  rose  to  be  computed  by 
thousands,  ond  the  legal  circles  of  Dublin, 
not  less  than  those  of  the  North -West 
Circuit,  still  cherish  the  traditions  of  his 
forensic  victories.  Every  faculty  of  his 
vigorous  mind,  as  well  as  every  feature  of 
his  extraordinary  character,  were  disci- 
plined and  developed  by  the  Union  de- 
bates ;  and  most  especially  did  he  acquire 
fame  from  the  boldness — we  had  almost 
said  the  audacity — with  which  he  con- 
fronted his  political  adversaries.  On  one 
occasion  Sir  Jonah  Barrington  insinuated 
that  corruption  had  been  attempted  ;  mi- 
nisters threatened  to  move  that  his  words 
be  taken  down  ;  Plunket  instantly  con- 
verted the  insinuation  into  a  specitic  charge, 
accompanied  with  the  bitterest  revilings, 
and  at  every  interval  in  the  long  series  of 
his  reproaches  he  challenged  the  Treasury 
to  "  take  down  his  words.''  These  suc- 
cessive cartels,  however,  were  not  accepted. 
It  was  in  this  speech  that  he  uttered  the 
schoolboy  declaration  of  which  Mr.  O*  Cou- 
ncil and  Mr.  Cobbctt  many  years  after- 
wards made  frequent  use  to  raise  an  occa- 
sional laugh,  both  in  Conciliation- hall  and 
the  House  of  Commons.  The  matter  on 
both  sides  is  abundantly  absurd,  and  only 
worth  recording  as  on  illustration  of  the 
puerilities  which  were  then  in  fashion. 
Mr.  Plunket  said  he  should  imitate  the 
father  of  Hannibal,  and  enjoin  his  sons  to 
*'  swear  eternal  vengeance  nguinst  the  ene- 
mies of  thtir  country," — viz.  the  Saxons. 
Mr.  O'Connell,  taking  advantage  of  this, 
always  called  the  junior  Plunkcts  "  young 
Hannibals." 

The  extinction  of  the  Irish  Parliament 
seemed  for  a  time  to  extinguish  Mr. 
Plunket's  hopes  of  building  up  the  cha- 
racter of  a  statesman  ;  but  he  *'  improved 
the  occasion''  by  creating  the  groutt'st 
forensic  reputation  that  any  Irishman  ever 
attained.  He  was  a  man  of  thirteen  years' 
standing  in  his  profcHsion  and  a  King's 
Counsel  when  the  Union  took  place,  while 
it  is  well  known  that  in  a  short  time  after 
his  ''  call  "  he  had  obtained  business  suf- 
ficient to  justify  his  being  allied  in  marriage

to  >  Ijidy  of  good  fortune,  and  descended 
from  an  ancient  family.  The  wife  of  Mr. 
Plnnket  wag  Cfttberine,  only  dau.  of  John 
M^Caneland,  C3q.  of  Strabane^  who  had 
rcpteteoted  the  county  of  Donegal  in  four 
raUaments.  The  union  of  Mr,  Plunk et 
with  Misa  M'Cau&land  took  place  in  1*91, 
and  a  numeroua  family  were  the  ia«t}e  of 
that  marriage.  Anxious  as  he  mnat  neces* 
sarily  have  been  at  this  period  of  his  life 
to  provide  for  the  oeceasities  of  his  posi^on, 
yet  he  cordially  united  with  his  brother 
Dr,  Pluoket  in  returning  to  those  members 
o€  Ms  lather^s  congregation  who  subscribed 
to  pay  that  gentleman's  debts  and  main- 

'  tatD  fais  family  the  amount  of  all  their 
contribution 9 1  with  full  interest,  so  that 
the  Unitarians  of  Strand-street  \n%i  no 
jsktmcj  and  gained  much  honour  by  their 
connexioo  with  the  Ptunkets. 

When  the  rebellion  of  Mm  burst  forth, 
Mr.  Plunket  was  a  member  of  Parlhunent, 
«  riaiiig  man  at  the  bar,  and  the  father  of 
A  family — all  excellent  renaonif  even  if 
blgher  motives  were  wanting,  to  restrnia 
him  from  abetting  that  sanguinary  move- 
ment ;  though  he  subsequently  gave  his 
£rofeisional  aid  to  some  few  among  its 
ttdera  and  victima.  Many  years  before 
that  fatal  period,  at  the  time  when  Parisian 
HmauM  were  Indoctriaating  all  EuropOi  tt 
waa  said  that  Mr.  Plunket  did  not  (juite 

•  escape  their  infliience»  and  that  among  the 
Irish  Liberals  of  1789— more  especially 
at  the  houses  of  Dr.  Emmctt  and  his  son 
Thomas,  Mr.  Plunket  was  accustomed  to 
proclaim  that  "  all  the  sovereigns  of  £u* 
rope  were  malefactors,  and  all  the  nations 
of  Europe  enslaved.*'     Tins  charge  was 

''  urged  with  sufficient  pertinacity  to  render 
Mr.  Plunket  very  desirous  of  some  signal 
and  public  opportunity  to  give  it  a  prac* 
ticai  rcfutMtioQ.  An  occasion  favourable 
for  that  purpose  presented  itself  in  August, 
1603,  upon  the  trial  of  Robert  Emuiett, 

^  whose  loUowers  murdered  the  Idsh  Chief 

I  Jostioe, Lord  Kilvrarden,  when  Mr.  Plunket 
appeared,  in  addition  to  the  law  officers  of 
the  Crown,  as  counsel  for  the  prosecuLioo- 
There  are  those  who  have  thought  and 
■aid  that  he  discharged  his  duty  during 
that  painful  trial  in  a  manner  more  remark- 
' '    '  )!  in  his  cause  than  for  humane 

on   towards  the  culprit.     The 
i..,^.„«...u  conviction  and  ultimate  fate  of 

LUie  prisoner  were  regarded  as  matters  of 

[fiertaiuty.  The  earnest  address  of  Mr, 
Plunket  to  the  jury  was  therefore  calcu- 
lated to  promote  no  other  object  than  the 

,  tery  superfluous  purpose  of  dissociating 
himself  from  the  frnnlicand  criminal  author 
of  the  tmeule  in  which  Lord  Kilwarden 

'  fcdl.     Mr.  Bmmett  in  return  assailed  him 
with  the  measureless  sarcasm  of  which  Mr. 
Plunket  himself  had  set  many  exampleii 
Gbxt.  Mao.  Vol.  XLI. 


accusing  him  of  having  inculcated  popular 
resistance  and  physical  force  in  his  speeches 
both  at  the  bar  and  in  Parliament ;  while 
the  adversaries  of  established  order,  im- 
mediately after  the  trial,  charged  him  with 
ingratitude  and  treachery  in  volunteering 
to  assail  the  son  and  brother  of  men  with 
whom  he  had  lived  on  terms  of  intimacy, 
and  with  whom  he  once  had  shared  those 
sentiments  which,  on  the  trial  of  Robert 
Emmctt  in  1803,  he  indis^nantly  repro- 
bated. That  this  accui^ation  was  utterly 
false  Mr.  Pluuket  proved  long  afterwards, 
upon  the  trial  of  an  action  which  he  brought 
against  Williatn  Cobbett  for  propagating 
that  unfounded  charge- 
On  the  22d  Oct  1803,  Mu  Plunket  was 
advanced  to  the  office  of  Solicitor- General 
for  Ireland,  and  on  the  loth  Oct.  1805,  to 
that  of  .Attorney -General.  From  this  time 
forward  he  naturally  sought  to  extend  his 
sphere  of  action,  and  he  therefore  resolved 
to  couoect  himself  with  one  of  the  great 
political  parties  into  which  the  candidates 
for  office  were  then  divided.  That  section 
of  public  men  who  acknowledged  the  late 
Lord  Grenville  for  their  leader  received 
Mr,  Plunk et's  co-operation  as  an  accession 
of  strength  well  worthy  of  acceptance  ; 
and  in  IfeOG,  when  the  ministry  called 
"  All  the  Talents  '*  forced  themselves  upon 
George  III.  Mr.  Plunket  continued  to  be 
the  first  low  officer  of  the  Crown  in  Ire- 
hind.  By  the  arraiiigements  then  made, 
Mr.  Flunket'ii  patron.  Lord  Grenville,  was 
placed  at  the  head  of  the  Government, 
and  Mr.  Fox  as  leader  in  the  House  of 
Commons,  For  the  mistakes  which  that 
ministry  committed  in  England  during 
their  brief  possession  of  power  Mr.  Plunket 
was  in  no  respect  responsible.  The  ad- 
ministration of  Irish  affairs  proceeded  at 
that  time  rather  smoothly  and  speciously  ; 
Irieh  produce  was  much  in  demand,  rents 
were  comparatively  well  paid  during  the 
war,  and  the  mmds  of  the  populace  were 
tixed  upon  the  single  object  of  Roman 
Catholic  Emancipation,  which  they  hoped 
to  see  achieved  by  a  Liberal  ministry. 
The  death  of  Mr.  Fox,  however,  and  the 
pressure  on  the  King  respecting  Roman 
Catholic  claims  broke  up  the  Goverument, 
and  Mr.  Plunket  resigned,  after  holdtog 
the  office  of  Attorney-General  from  Oct. 
1805  till  May  1B07.  He  Ixad  now  ceased 
to  go  circuit  i  in  a  great  measure  he  with- 
drew from  the  Common  L:iw  courts,  and 
gave  himself  up  to  the  pursuit  of  Chancery 
practice,  which  he  seemed  to  prefer  upon 
the  obvions  ground  of  mimmum  labour 
with  majrijTium  reward — certainly  not  from 
any  inaptitude  for  other  departments  of 
his  profession,  since  he  was  in  all  respects 
at  the  head  of  the  Irish  bar.  In  every 
Chancery  suit  he  appeared  as  leading

succeeded   in    pratervlog    It   unimpaired 

through  out  the  fifteen  yenri  that  be  sat  In 
our  House  of  Commons.  His  exterior 
certainly  prefcnted  nothmg  prepossessing; 
his  stature  was  sliort,  hia  limhs  clumsy, 
his  countenance  a  small  and  unfavourflble 
specimen  of  the  Hcotijih  physiognomy, 
aggravated  by  a  true  "vinegar  aspect;*' 
yet  his  parliamentary  success  was  not 
merely  remarkable— it  wos  brilliant.  The 
great  men  of  that  day  vied  with  each  other 
in  complimenting  their  new  companion  \ 
and  Mr.  Canning  vras  bold  enough  to 
affirm  that  the  advent  of  such  a  m*ii 
brought  hack  the  days  of  Burke  and  Pitt, 
of  Fox  and  Sheridan.  Fortunately,  thll

esteemed  in  Parliament— ready,  weighty,

means  destitute  of  imagination  an  J  sensi.

rarv,  or  false  emotions  ;  uxually  maacuuoe 
and  dignified,  not  often  petulant,  imscible, 
or  coarse,  the  peculiar  and  distinguishing 
characteristic  of  his  eloquence  was  a  sus- 
tained Intensity— **  Strong  without  rage, 
without  oVrflowing  full.*'  He  always  en- 
joyed the  reputation  of  being  **  a  good

and  inferior  objects  to  the  main  purpoae 
of  cruahiiig  hostile  forces,  and  not  meraij 
achieving,  but  reaping  the  fruits  of  victory^

though   Lord  Liverpool  continued  to  be 

\  Pritne  Mioiaterf  and  Lard  Eldun  ttlLl  held 

t  Oreat  Seali  yet  the  iuteuse  Toryism  of 

Ifovemmeatwai  mitigated.     Mr*  Can- 

ng  took  the  management  of  the  House 

r^f  Commouf J  Mr,  Hu^ki^fon  became  Pre- 

pideot  of  the  Board  of  Trade,  and  several 

[  iDembers  of  the  GrcDvilte  party  joined  the 

A-dinmistration,  Air*  Plunket  receivini;  the 

oflBce  of  Attorney -General  for  Irelaad. 

The  Marquess  Wellesley  was  then  Vice- 
roy.    Conciliation  was  to  be  the  principle 
of  hia  gofemmetit,   impartiality  his  uoi- 
fenal  rule  of  action.     The  Orange  party 
,  were  to  be  curbed,  and  Popish  agitation 
F  ditcountenanced.     He  was  to  be  the  paci- 
Icsfttor  of  a  laud  which  had  never  known 
\  tfioqaillity  for  600  yean  ;  and  the  brilliant 
It  with  which  he  bad  governed  India 
Lmii  to  be  reyived  in  the  Castle  at  Dublin. 
I  Buch  were  the  fond  hopes  with  which  Lord 
WelJealey*8  countrymen  bailed  his  vice- 
'  regal  adTent,  hopes  which,  to  their  minds, 
were  conrerted  into  realities  when  Mr. 
Pluoket — the  great  advocate  of  emancipa- 
r  tioB — becajae  tlie  first  law  officer  of  the 
1 1riah  Gofemment.     Those   expectations 
I  were  grievoualy  disappointed.    The  Mar- 
qneaa  and  Mr,  Plunk ct  were  great  men, 
but  no  workers  of  mirdcles,  and  when  his 
Excellency  visited  the  theatre  in  State  he 
waa  pelted  from  the  gallery  ;  tlie  Orange- 
^  men  hooted  him  in  the  ttreeta«  and  the 
^  Liberal  iigitatora  denied  him  a  cordial  sup- 
^»ort  with  the  multitude.     Whiteboyism, 
^  Oeginoing  itt  outrages  id  the  south,  a) moat 
^  feaebed  the  suburbs  of  the  capital    The 
legal  proceedings  against  the  Orange  party 
were  defeated  in  the  courts  of  law,  and 
the  eouQtry  gentlemen  once  more  began 
\  to  fbitifj  their  hontea,   A  ipeciai  commis- 
tion  wic  iaiued,  and  the  Attorney-General 
in   nervon  prosecuted   the  insurgents   at 
Cork  and  other  aaslze  towns  throughout 
Muuster.     With  the  Dublin  Orangemen 
who  j»elted  Lord  Wellealey  Mr.   Plunket 
waa  remarkably  unj^uccessful.     His  pro- 
•eeutions  neither  inspired  the  one  party 
with  atarmt  nor  the  other  with  gratitude. 
But  in  the  House  of  Commons  he  con- 
tinued to  hold  a  position  among  the  highest 
order  of  public  men.     Mr.  Canning  more 
than  once  said,  that  no  individual  whatever 
contributed  »o  much  as  Mr.  Plunket  had 
f4one  to  the  success  of  Ruman  Catholic 
i.    Tlie  namea  of  Grattan,  O'Connell, 
[iiod  Sidney  Smith  were  mentioned;  but 


Mr.  Canning  rej seated  hia  deliberate  opl- 
nion  that  Mr.  Plunket  was  the  mort 
efficient  labourer  that  ever  toiled  in  that 
cause  ;  for  this  reason — that  he  gained  over 
adversariea  by  persuading  them  that  a 
repeal  of  the  penal  laws  would  strengthen 
the  established  church  in  Ireland.  But 
he  ceajsed  to  hare  a  seat  in  the  Lower 
House  before  that  great  change  in  our 
constitution  waa  oonaummated.  In  1827 
the  state  of  Lord  Liverpool's  health  ren- 
dered his  retirement  indispenaabte,  and 
Mr.  Plunket,  hciiig  then  in  the  63d  year 
of  his  age,  and  having  been  live  years  lu 
the  ofllce  of  Attorney -General,  thought  he 
had  a  fair  claim  to  a  seat  on  the  bench. 
Mr.  Canning,  at  that  time  Prime  Minister, 
did  not  like  to  lose  his  services  in  the 
Houae  of  Commons,  and  proposed  to  ap- 
point him  Master  of  the  Rolls  in  England. 
Thts  pUu,  howeTer,  was,  after  a  little  con* 
sultatioii,  abandoned,  and  Mr.  Plunket 
was,  in  the  month  of  June,  1827*  raised 
to  tlie  peerage  of  the  United  Kingdom  by 
the  title  of  Baron  Plunket,  being  at  the 
£ame  time  appointed  Chief  Justice  of  the 
Common  Pitas  in  In  '  ■  '  -  -"  1  in  that 
im]iortant  office  he  cv  \  the  close 

of  the  Wellington  ad  ri;  i  m,  a  period 
of  somewhat  more  than  three  years.  The 
new  Chief  Baron  (Joy)  had  been  8olicttor> 
GeDcr&l  under  Lord  Plunket,  and  Chief 
Justice  Bushe,  of  the  King's  Bench,  was 
his  most  intimate  friend.  While  at  the 
bar  they  hod  frequent  encounters  aa  counnl 
on  opposite  sides,  and  none  waa  more 
stoutly  conteste<l  than  that  in  which  the 
Crown  proceeded  by  writ  of  quo  warranto 
against  Chief  Baron  O'Grady.  Mr.  Plun- 
ket called  it  *'a  Jacobinical  procedure/' 
Mr.  Bufihe  replied,  ^*  If  it  be  bo,  impeach 
us.  1  adjure  you  by  our  ancient  friendship 
and  our  common  country  to  arraign  us,^' 
&c.  **  Ah/'  said  Mr,  O'Connell,  <»  their 
ancient  friendship  was  a  league  between 
two  robbers,  and  their  common  country 
has  been  the  common  prey  of  both." 
Tills  may  be  received  aa  one  among  many 
occnrrcQcea  which  illustrate  the  sort  of 
warfare  that  Lord  Plunket  waa  required 
to  wage  in  Ireland ;  but  the  moment  he 
quitted  the  Irish  shore  he  accommodated 
himself  at  once  to  the  tone  of  English 
society  *,  though,  when  he  returned  to  bla 
native  country,  he  was  still  a  match  for 
any  Irishman,  even  at  his  own  peculiar 
weapons. 

While  Lord  Plunket  presided  in  tlie 
Common  Pleaa— namely,  from  June  1827 
till  November  1630,  hii  judicial  coreeri 
though  attended  with  much  sucoeaa,  win 
not  marked  by  any  very  eatraordinary 
events.  Not  so,  however,  his  position  hlb

[Feb. 


WelUogton  WitMrf  wai  the  Rom&n  Ca- 
tholic Relief  Bill.  While  lliat  mcnsurc 
was  under  discusHioa  in  the  Hrnisfi  of  Lords, 
the  Dukfl  invited  Lord  Plunk«t  to  sit  with 
bitn  on  the  Treftenry  U^nch^  to  nclTise  him 
sC«p  by  itqi,  **  to  lake  charge  of  thi'  biU/' 
8S  the  phnu»e  \%^  and  see  it  fairly  through 
tbe  llotise.  This  is  uot  n  usual  course, 
nor  if  such  a  practice  generally  thonglit 
vKpedient,  but  the  Dnkc  evidently  ft-lt  thftt 
without  the  cordial  and  uncctv^ing  eiTortii 
of  Lord  Plunkct  the  ehances  of  surcesa  iu 
the  HouMc  of  Lorda  would  be  exceedingly 
douhtful. 

The  meajure  called  "  Emancipation  '* 
having  been  carried^  the  Inbourii  of  l^rd 
Pluuket  aa  a  legislator  reached  their  clo^e. 
OccAtionally  he  made  a  few  remarks  in 
Pftrliament,  but  he  ncarcely  ever  again  de- 
livered II  speech  or  eameatly  engaged  in 
any  diACUtsioo.  With  the  exception  of 
five  months^  hetween  November  1K31  and 
April  1835,  the  Whiga  remained  in  po6- 
tesaion  of  the  Cabinetr  and  Lord  Pluuket 
vna  tlicir  Iriah  Chancellor,  until  i  short 
time  before  their  withdrawal  from  office, 
when  he  reluctantly  re^igncd^  nod  waa 
Buceeoded  by  Lord  Campbell. 

During  the  last  Whig  Miniitry  Lord 
Plunket  occasionally  came  over  to  Loudon  ; 
but  he  waa  full  G6  years  of  age  before 
he  took  hi«  seat  oa  the  bench  of  the  Court 
of  Chancery  in  Ireland,  and  it  may  fairly 
be  considered  that  at  that  advanced  period 
of  his  life  he  was  entitled  to  withdraw 
from  Parliamentary  bbour«;  nor  even  wm* 
it  expected  that,  a*  a  judge,  Lord  Plunket 
could  add  much  to  the  fame  which  he  had 
prev!(}U«l}r  acquired.  His  reputMion  shot 
upwards  frum  a  narrow  ground- work.  H)» 
speeches  were  at  once  few  uud  famous; 
they  excited  the  unqualified  iipplaubc  of 
the  age  in  which  he  flourished*  while  the 
mm.  who  have  survived  thoi>e  daya  feel 
thftt,  even  after  the  lapse  of  thirty  years. 
hi«  celebrity  bass  «carcely  waocd^  and  that 
Pluukct*»  is  still  a  conspicuoui  name  amid 
the  orators  of  the  ninctcentli  century.  But 
tho  great  prmciplei  of  legislntion  which 
tneo  teek  and  find  in  the  i^peechea  of  Pitt 
and  Uie  writings  of  Burke  do  not  abuund 
in  the  startling  orations  of  Plunket.  He 
could  scarcely  he  called  a  statesman — 
hardly,  even,  a  sound  practical  jHklitkiaD  ; 
abler  judges  than  he  were  among  his 
brethren  of  the  Iriah  bench,  though  hi» 
judicial  quftlities  were  of  a  very  high  order; 
and  al  the  bar,  though  he  received  a  large 
income  and  waa  a  peerle«d  advocate,  there 
were  men  of  gremter  learning,  uud  ojic 
unquestionably  of  greater  eloquence.  But, 
oa  tbe  whole,  nature  was  moat  bountiful 
to  Lord  Pluuket,  aud  accident  favoured 
liim  at  almost  every  ttep  of  hit  long  and 
fioblo  mreer.    HU  public  life  may  be  ooa- 


fidered  as  terminating  in  1811 ;  ittU,  for 
some  yeAri  after  its  closef  he  continued  to 
visiit  his  friends  and  to  diffuse  the  charais 
of  his  conversation.  At  length  he  became 
oppreatied  with  the  weight  of  humtm  in- 
lirmity,  yet  even  in  that  night  of  life  were  ' 
occoaionally  seen  many  bright  gleauas  of  ' 
his  once  clear  and  powerful  intellect. 

By  the  lady  already  mentioned*  who 
died  on  the  14  lb  March  1H2K  Lord  Plunket 
had  issue  six  sons  and  five  daoghtera,  all

this  occasion  were  ocknowlcdged  by  tbe 
late  Mr<  Canning  in  1^17- Itj  with  the 
highest  encomiums,  and  will  be  foumi 
fully  detailed  in  tbe  account  of  the  battle 
of  SectabuUiee.  His  transactions  also  with 
the  Booala  Rujab  are  recorded  in  Mr, 
Princtjp's  Narrative  of  the  Affairs  of  Bri- 
tish India  under  the  Marquess  of  Hastings. 

During  nearly  tbe  whole  of  the  period 
Mfr  Jenkins  was  located  in  India  be  was 
employed  in  the  br6t  diplomatic  aituAtions, 
ind  for  tbe  Last  nine  years  of  bis  residence 
there  in  the  still  higher  functions  of  direct- 
ing under  the  Supreme  Government  the 
entire  administration  of  an  extensive  coun- 
try during  the  minority  of  its  native 
princes. 

His  farther  proceedings,  from  tbe  period 
of  tbe  outbreak  with  the  Rajah  at  Nag- 
pore,  are  thus  ailuded  to  in  a  Minute  of 
the  Governor- General  in  l«22  :  "  His 
situation  has  been  rather  assimilated  to 
that  of  a  ruler  of  a  considerable  State, 
tbao  a  political  agent  repres^c^iiting  one 
GoTemment  at  tbe  Court  of  another.  The 
several  reporls  of  Mr.  Jenkins's  proceed- 
ings, which  are  on  record,  will  attest  the 
magnitude  of  tbe  concern  he  has  bad  to 
manage,  the  dilfieulties  be  had  tn  contend 
with  in  the  outset,  and  tbe  sagacity,  skill, 
and  perseverance  with  which  he  overcame 
them  i  the  serious  responsibility  be  was 
obliged  to  incur,  in  consequence  of  tbe  oc- 
casion of  sudden  and  unexpected  exigen- 
cies) for  which  he  could  not  be  provided 
with  instructions,  and  tbe  ultimate  success 
of  his  labours  in  restoriug  the  dilapidated 
resources  of  the  country,  in  placing  tbe 
financial  and  fiscal  interests  of  the  State 
on  a  stable  foundation,  and  introducing  a 

2 stem  of  order,  cconomVf  and  purity  into 
s  admixustration,  whicQ  will  enable  us 


to  transfer  the  country  to  the  Rajah,  dd 
his  reaching  his  majority,  in  a  state  of  pro- 
sperity not  attainable  by  any  other  means/' 
After  an  absence  of  twenty-seven  years 
Mr.  Jenkins  returned  to  England,  and  on 
his  way  to  his  patrimonial  estate  at  Bicton 
be  was  met  by  a  numeroua  party  of  gen- 
tlemen of  the  county  of  Salop  at  Charlton 
Hill,  to  congratulate  him  on  his  return  to 
hii  native  country,  and  who  accompanied 
bim  from  thence  to  tbe  contines  of  flif* 
borough  of  Shrewsbury,  where  a  I 
concourse  of  the  iubabitauts  were  a>^ 
bled  to  greet  bis  arrival,  and  from  whence 
he  was  escorted  through  tbe  town  with  all 
the  honours  attendant  upon  a  triumphant 
progress. 

Mr.  Jenkins  being  resident  at  hb  s 
sion,  Abbey forogate,  Shrewsbury,  was  soil

slight  contest  in  conjunction  with  Mr- 
Slanoy.  At  the  elections  of  1832  and

from    the    late  Marquess  Wellcslcy,   hi 
which  he  states  tbst  the  **  honour  conferred

able to  the  government  generally  to  have 
mored  abote  the  low  track  of  ordinary 
patronRge  on  this  orcasion,  and  to  have 
taaght  the  civil  eervnnti  of  lEidlA  by  tliis 
example,  that  their  cnerite  will  be  rewarded 
by  their  country,  without  any  regard  to 
differences  of  opiiiion  or  to  considerations 
of  party.*' 

It  should  abo  be  mentioned  thnt  soon 
after  his  return  from  lodia  he  was  elected 
a  Director  of  the  Hon.  E,  L  Company^s 
board,  of  which  his  long  c3;peTicince  and 
knowledge  of  easteni  affairs  rendered  bira 
an  efficient  and  Inlelligent  member.  He 
naboequently  Ailed  the  office  of  chairman 
to  that  body. 

Many  inhabitants  of  the  towu  and 
ctmnty  of  Salop  are  Indebted  to  the  gentle* 
nun  now  under  notice  for  confidcrable 
pfttronoge  in  tlic  nature  of  cadetships  and 
other  ci?il  appointments,  and  it  Is  a  source 
of  satisfaction  and  congratulation  to  know, 
that  moel  of  these  gentlemen  have  done 
credit  in  their  several  sltaadons  and  tie- 
come  faithful  and  afair  gervanta  of  the 
Company  and  of  thtir  country  ;  a  brilliant 
example  of  which  may  he  instanced  in  that 
gaUant  and  succfssful  soldier  Major  Ed' 
wardes,  now  Foliticat  Resident  at  Pe- 
sbawnr. 

la  the  various  duties  of  his  public  life 
the  conduct  of  Sir  Richard  Jenkins  was 
conilftcnt  and  honest.  To  every  sordid 
and  selfish  feeling,  or  mean  artlAce^  he 
was  an  utter  Strang rr.  There  was  no  for- 
ward intrusion,— no  desire  of  dictation,  or 
of  attracting  popnlarity  ;  but  rather,  a 
retiring  simidicity  of  manners,  governing 
an  open  and  frank  dispostition,  that  could 
win  and  conciliate  those  who  might  not 
otherwise  acquiesce  with  him  in  opinion. 
At  the  same  tirae»  when,  on  any  occasion 
his  services  could  be  beneficially  employed, 
he  eiertcd  himself  with  a  promptitude  and 
disinterestedness  that  set  forth  the  be* 
nerolence  of  his  heart,  and  developed  the 
tnie  gentleman — the  amenities  of  which 
especially  adorned  his  private  character, 

Mr.  Jenkins  married  in  1921  Eliza- 
Helen,  eldest  daughter  of  Hugh  Spottis- 
wode,  esq.  by  whom  he  has  left  a  family  of 
nine  children,  lie  was  created  a  Doctor 
of  Civil  Law  at  Oxford,  June  13,  1834. 

The  remains  of  Sir  Richard  Jenkins 
arrived  in  Shrewsbury,  on  their  way  for 
interment  in  the  family  vault  at  Bicton, 
rthree  miles  from  tliat  town)  on  Friday, 
Jan.  6th,  when  the  mayor  and  corporation 
and  a  respectable  number  of  friends  met 
the  funeral  cortege  and  accompanied  it  to 
the  Welsh  Bridge,  as  a  fitting  murk  of 
neapecl  to  the  memory  of  a  gentle  man, 
who,  as  a  former  representative  of  the 
borough  in  parliament,  had  by  his  public 


conduct  and  many  acts  of  considerate  kind- 
ness  to  the  town  obtained  for  himself  their 
respect  and  gratitude.  H.  P.

James  Thomas  on,  Lieut. -Governor  of  the 
North -West  Provinces  of  India- 
Mr.  Thorn 830 n  was  only  surviving  son 
of  the  Rev.  Thomas  Tmebody  TliomasoD, 
formerly  Fellow  and  Tutor  of  Queen's 
college,  Cambridge,  who,  after  having 
been  Curate  to  Mr.  Simeon  at  Cambridge, 
and  also  at  Shelford  near  that  town, — 
where  the  subject  of  this  memoir  was 
bom,— went  out  to  India  in  the  year  1808, 
and  died  a  Senior  Chaplain  in  the  Hon« 
Company's  service  in  1829  (see  Gent. 
Mag.  xcix.  i.  647),  His  Life  was  after- 
wards published  by  the  Rev,  J.  Sargent. 

In  1H14  hfs  son  James  was  seat  home, 
and  placed  under  the  guardianship  of  Mr. 
Simeon,  whose  devotion  to  the  we!l- being 
of  his  young  charge  is  touchingly  por- 
trayed in  several  of  his  letters  published 
in  the  Rev.  Mr.  Carus*s  Memoir  of  him. 
At  that  early  age,  young  Thomason  mani- 
fested an  ejitraordinary  '*  spirit  of  inijuiry, 
and  many  of  his  questions  were  sucli  as  a 
man,  a  traveller  of  sound  sense  and  judg- 
ment, would  have  asked/* 

In  1B22|  having  finished  his  preliminary 
education  under  Mr.  Preston,  and  at 
liaileybury  college,  he  returned  to  India 
in  the  civil  service  of  the  Hon.  Company; 
in  widch  he  distinguished  himself  by  an 
unwearying  assiduity  and  devotion  to  hit 
varied  duties,  as  he  rose,  step  by  step,  to 
the  highest  offices  to  which  a  servant  of 
the  Company  can  aspire.  Though  at  first 
located  in  nn  unhealthy  and  unpromising 
junglC'Station,  his  administrative  talents 
and  di^ttnguished  ability  brotight  him  un- 
avoidably UQiler  the  notice  of  the  Supreme 
Government,  and  in  consequence  Lord 
Auckland,  then  Govern  or- General,  made 
him  his  Secretary, 

Soon  after,  the  desperate  stale  of  his 
wife's  health  induced  him  to  run  a  very 
great  rUk,  and  to  accompany  her  suddenly 
to  England  without  wuittog  for  the  need- 
ful leave.  His  appointment,  however,  woa 
kept  open  for  him  for  a  few  months,  and 
be  returned  to  India  to  run,  self-reltant, 
an  unbroken  cateer  of  peaceful  sucoess. 

Mr.  Thomason  was  selected  for  bis  last 
responsible  office  by  Lord  Ellenborough, 
who,  when  Governor.  General,  always  chose 
the  man  he  deemed  best  for  every  post, 
irrespective  of  private  iiifiuencc  or  official 
seniority.  Under  his  direction  the  natural 
resources  of  the  north-west  provinces  have 
been  rapidly  developed,  public  works  on 
an  immense  scale  were  vigorously  carried 
onf  and  the  districts  under  his  rule  were

'during  an  active  service  of  twenty  years, 

abraciog  the  mo6t  eventful  period  in  the 

of  British   India,  Mackesou  was 

ter  pUoed  where  the  high  qualities  of 

courage  and  perfect  self-possession 

essential  to  that  success  whiii^h  in- 

riably  attended  the  diic barge  of  hi»  im-

'  Colonel  Mftickeson  was  a  fine  example 
'of  the   peculiar  race  of  public  servants

tainly not  the  least/'  ~G/o^«. 

On  the  afternoon  of  the  LOth  Sept.  as

aving  just  dismissed  his  kucherec  people, 
religious  fanatic  from  Koner  suddenly 
rushed  in  and  endeavoured  to  stab  him. 
Colonel  Mackeson^who  was  a  very  power- 
[lal  man,  seized  the  knife,  bat  received soch 
vere  injuries  in  his  hand  that  he  was 
r^ibtiged  to  release  his  hold,  when  the  vil- 
lain iniitcted  a  deep  wound  in  the  breast 
of  his  victim,  which,  after  some  hours, 
casiooed  death.     The  miscreant  was  tm- 
aediately  arrested  ;  he  expressed  to  the

be  Akhtod  of  Swat.     A  mitu  of  the  name 
Ghnt.  Mag,  Vol.  XLI, 


of  Ata  Mahomed,  formerly  kotwal  of 
Peshawur,  rushed  to  the  rescue,  and  re- 
ceived a  wound  in  his  stomach.  None  of 
the  chuprasies  were  armed,  or  the  mur- 
derer would  probably  have  been  cut  to 
piecea  on  the  s^Tot.  He  came  direct  from 
Jelalabad  because  he  had  heard  that  a 
mountain-train  bad  been  organised  prepa- 
ratory to  the  invasion  of  Swat,  in  whicJt 
country  he  had  many  friends;  and  thought 
the  best  plan  to  stay  the  invasion  was  to 
murder  the  instigators  of  the  intendod 
movement. 

In  a  General  Order  published  in  the 
CateuctaGaaettc  Extraordinary  of  Tuesday 
Oct.  4,  the  Governor- General  in  CouncU 
has  borne  public  testimony  to  the  merits 
and  character  of  the  gallant  de^^ased  in 
the  following  terms  :— **  The  reputation  of 
Lieutenant- Colonel  Mackeson,  as  a  soMier, 
is  known  to  and  honoured  by  all.  Hia 
value  as  a  political  servant  of  the  State  is 
known  to  none  better  than  the  Governor- 
General  himself,  who,  in  a  difficult  and 
eventful  time,  had  cause  to  mark  his  great 
ability,  and  the  admirable  prudence,  dis- 
cretion, and  temper  which  added  tenfold 
value  to  the  high  soldierly  qualities  of  his 
public  character.  The  loss  of  Colonel 
Mackeson *s  life  would  have  dimmed  a 
victory.  To  lose  him  thus,  by  the  hand  of 
a  foal  assaSfilDi  is  a  mit»fortuiic  of  the 
heaviest  gloom  for  the  Government,  which 
counted  him  amongst  its  bravest  and  best." 

The  murderer  of  Colonel  Mackeson  was 
hung  at  Peshawur  on  the  1st  Oct.  and 
his  body  afterwards  burned,  and  the  ashet 
thrown  into  a  watercourse,  in  order  to  pre- 
vent the  Mussulmans  from  burying  it  with 
honour,  and  possibly  erecting  a  tomb  as 
to  a  martyr  of  their  faith.  There  was  a 
large  crowd  to  witness  the  execution,  but 
no  disturbance  of  the  peace,  every  pre* 
caution  having  been  taken  to  overawe  the 
populace.

notorious  nest  for  privateers,  which,  after 
a  cannonade  of  four  hours p  and  a  loss  to 
the  British  of  two  men  killed  and  sixteen 
woundeiU  was  stormed  and  carried  with 
great  gallantry  by  the  boats  of  the  two

Colonel  Muttledury,  C.B. 

Jan,  11.  At  Maida  Hill,  aged  78 
Colonel  George  Muttlcbury,  C.B.  and 
K.W.,  who  for  many  years  commanded 
the  69tb  regiment. 

The  Colonel  was  descended  from  a  good 
Someraetshire  family,  who  were  formerly 
owners  of  property  near  llmiuster,  called 
**  Jordan*,"  but  which  was  forfeited  to  the 
crown  in  consequence  of  the  adherence  of 
the  Coloners  ancestor  to  the  unfortunate 
Monmouth* 

Colonel  Muttlebury  was  bom  at  Brigh-| 
ton«  and  the  following  sketch  of  his  caree 
will  hhow  that  his  military  service  wtt 
more  varied  than  falls  to  tlic  lot  of  mofl 
soldiers,  while,  as  we  believe,  few  hvFi 
stood  higher  in  the  opinion  of  all  whd 
knew  htm  than  this  distinguished  o6li?erjj 
polished  gentleman,  and,  we  may  tru^ 
add,  good  Christian  man. 

He  joined  the  55th  regt.  as  an  Ensigttl 
at   the   camp   before   Nimeguen ;    servedl 
through  the  severe  winter   campaign    of] 
nD4-n9^'»,  in  Holland,  and  was  engaged] 
in  several  actions  with  the  enemy.     During 
the  marches  many  of  the  soldiers  wer 
frozen  to  death,  nnd  Colonel  liluttlebur 
owed  the  preservation  of  bis  life,  on  oat 
oceaftion,  to  the  friendly  aid  of  a  serfeantT 
who   kept  simking  him  whenever  symp- 
toms of  drOwsioesB  appeared,     tie  shortly

in  1 80-1,  where  he  remained  till  the  end  of 
IdUTv  vvhen  tit -health  drove  him   home* 
In  Nov.  1813,  when  a  Msjc»r,  he  accom- 
panied the  2d  battalion   of  the  G9th  to 
Holland,  was  present  at  tiie  bombardment 
^€f  the  French  fleet  lying  at  Antwerp,  and 
^  the  storming  of  the  celebrated  fortress  of

L  OOly  iustanoe  wiLhin  our  recollection  where 
liromotioQ    has    been  conferred   after   a 
dlnre. 
lo  the  brief  but  glorious  and  importiint 
campaign  of  1 S 15,  the  6Dth  was  one  of  those 
regiments  which  came  up  so  opportunely 
early  in  the  battle  of  Quatre  Bras,  in  whtdi 
,  it  iuffcred  very  severely  by  the  overwhelm- 
fine  attack   of  a  large    body   of  French 
I  'duraaocra,  when  in  the  act  of  deploying, 
i  by  a  mistaken   order  of    the   Prince  of 
Dran«re.  who  commanded  in  that  part  of 
t!  '  \  but  this  did  not  prevent  the 

I  battalion  from  sharing  in  the 

^..■,,  ..  Aaterloo,  where  its  post  was  on 
the  riglit  centre  of  our  position,  and, 
combined  with  the  33rd,  which  was  also 
,  Tery  weak,  formed  together  a  respectable 
»  battalion.  Kvent*  proved  its  station  to  be 
*■  :  'tit   exposed   in   the   line. 

'  vho  commanded  the  69th, 

U^..i^  w..,,  „,.j^J,  was  succeeded  by  Lieut.- 
It^QkioQcl  Muttlcbury,  whose  eoergiei  were 


ievercly  taxed  to  maintain  the  ground* 
Section  after  section  was  swept  off  bv  the 
destructive  fire  of  the  enemy*s  artillery, 
whiht  their  cavalry  repeatedly  surrounded 
and  seemed  determined  to  make  mince- 
meat of  the  remnant,  but  whenever  the 
smoke  clenred  off  there  it  stood,  firm  and 
undoubted.  At  the  last  grand  attack, 
however,  one  of  Ney^s  masses,  as  It  neared 
the  crest  of  our  position,  poured  in  such 
a  storm  of  fire  as  mortal  man  could  not 
withfft.indt  and  the  soldiers  gave  way  ;  but 
the  disorder  was  happily  of  short  duration, 
as  the  example  and  efforts  of  Colonel 
Muttlebnry  succeeded  immediately  in  ml- 
lying  the  69th,  while  the  commander  of 
the  33rd  did  the  same  with  hia  men.  This 
occurred  only  a  few  minutes  before  the 
Guards  and  General  Adams'  brigade  de- 
livered their  fire  on  the  most  advanced  of 
Ney 'a  columns  of  attack,  which  was,  in  fact, 
the  great  crisis  of  the  day.  Every  body 
knows  that  the  enemy  was  instantly  thrown 
into  disorder,  which  Ney  and  his  bnivc 
officers  failed  to  remedy,  and  the  battle 
was  over. 

In  1818  Colonel  MuttiKbury  sailed  once 
more  for  Madras  with  his  old  09th,  where 
he  remained  till  1821,  holding  for  a  short 
time  command  of  the  provinces  of  Malabar 
and  Canara  i  but  ill  health  again  com- 
pelled him  to  leave  India,  and  he  was  put 
on  board  ship  in  an  apparently  dying  con- 
dition. He  rallied  however  during  the 
voyage  home,  and  recovered  his  usual 
health  after  a  short  residence  in  Eng- 
land« 

In  1824  he  was  placed  b  command  of  a 
provisional  battalion  of  1 ,500  men  at  Poits- 
moQth ;  but  on  the  arrival  from  India  of 
tlie  OUth,  which  occurred  soon  after,  be 
resumed  the  charge  of  his  old  comrades  in 
arms,  with  whom  he  remained  until  1820, 
when  a  return  of  bad  healtli  forced  him  to 
retire  from  the  service ;  the  esteem  of  his 
brother  officers  of  the  <j9th  being  testified 
by  a  handsome  present  of  pbte.

health  became  s^Hiedtly  restored.  This 
reaolt,  as  well  as  the  delightful  si?enery  of 
the  neighbourhood ,  induced  Mr.  Hoare  to 
purchase  a  large  extent  of  land  in  the  vale 
of  CoombCf  where  he  commenced  tbe 
erection  of  Luscombc  Castle,  and  it  was 
here  the  deceased  lady  lived  in  peaceful  re- 
lirement  and  unostentatious  charity.  Her 
many  acts  of  benevolence,  even  though 
brictly  told,  would  ftlt  no  scanty  page  In 
the  history  of  Chri»tian  ph  i  Ian  thru  py. 
Was  a  school  to  be  built,  she  gave  a  buiM- 
ing  site,  and  something  towards  its  en- 
dowment ;  was  want,  misery,  or  affliction 
known  to  exist  among  her  poorer  neigh- 
bours, she  listened  to  their  tale  of  sorrow, 
and  her  wealth  and  her  prayers  were  spent 
iu  mdravours  to  nssaage  their  suffering 
and  difttreas.  To  the  Teignmouth  and 
DawHih  Dispensary  oho  contribntod  very 
material  aid,  and  the  poor  have  been  ao- 
customed  to  look  vritk  great  interest  to 
her  periodical  gifts  of  clothing.  The  sites 
of  three  schools  iu  Dmitiah— tlie  boys*, 
girls*,  and  infants*,  with  the  teachers* 
residences — and  contributions  of  a  sub- 
stantial kind,  are  owing  to  her  liberality; 
while  the  parishioners  will  ever  remember 
the  great  boon  of  a  public  clock  recently 
erected  at  her  sole  espensc  iti  the  tower  of 
8t.  Mark's  Chapel.  The  tervants  of  the 
family,  and  the  tradesmen  of  Dawliab,  bate 
to  regret  the  lost  of  a  kind  miatren  and 
considerate  employer;  and  the  example  of 
the  deceased  lady  will  go  down  to  futors 
ages  as  one  who,  in  patient  reaLgnation  Co 
the  Divine  will,  through  miich  phy steal

Rev.  W,  H.  Mill,  D;D. 

Bee.  25.  At  Brastcd,  Kent,  in  hia  C2nd 
year,  the  Rev.  William  Hodge  Mill,  D.D. 
Regius  Profcsfior  of  Hebrew  in  the  Uni- 
Terttty  of  Cambridge,  Canon  of  Ely,  Rector 
of  Brnated,  and  F-'R.A.S. 

Dr.  Mill  entered  at  Trinity  college  in 
1B09,  gradu^ed  ap  sixth  wrangler  in  1813 » 
and  was  elected  Fellow  of  Trinity  Oct.  1, 
18H,  together  with  the  present  Dean  of 
Ely,  both  at  their  first  sitting,  there  being 
only  two  vacancies.  He  proceeded  M<A. 
1816;  was  ordained  deacon  at  Norwich  in 
1S17,  and  priest  at  Wells  in  the  following 
year.  In  1H20  he  went  out  to  India  &» 
the  lirst  i?rincipal  of  Bishop's  College, 
CalcitttSt  the  noble  foundation  of  Bishop 
^iiddletoii.  The  fulluwini?  is  an  extract 
from  the  "  Life  of  Biahop  Middle  ton  :  '*— 

**  On  his  return  to  Calcutta,  the  Bishop 
liad  tlie  satisfaction  of  tiiiding  there  Mr. 
Mill  and  Mr.  Alt,  who  had  arrived  from 
England  tlie  February  preceding,  the  one 
to  ^11  the  office  of  Principal,  the  other  that 
of  a  Professor,  at  Bishop's  College.  To 
thc^  appointments  the  Bishop  had  long 
looked  forward  with  a  very  natural  anxiety, 
more  especially  the  former,  since  the  fu- 
ture prosperity  aud  bono  or  of  the  institu- 
tion might,  ia  a  considerable  measure, 
depend  upon  the  character  of  its  first  Pre- 
•idcnt.  In  Mr.  Mill  he  bad  the  satisfac- 
tion to  find  (as  he  hadanticij}?ited)  u  person 
admirably  fitted  to  do  justice  to  his  own 
exalted  views  respecting  the  duties  and 
capacities  of  the  establishment,  lie  dv- 
tcribes  that  gentleman  as  a  man  of  noble 
attainments,  snch  as  he  bad  never  before 
I  met  with  in  India.  E^cry  thing  he  saw  of 
the  oew  Principal  impressed  him  v\itb  a 
lugli  opinion  of  his  powert<.  And  it  may 
be  here  added  that  all  their  subsetjuent  in- 
tercourse gavo  his  lordship  the  amplest 
cause  for  rejoicing  that  the  Society  had 
provided  him  with  so  able,  accomplished, 
•od  Kcatous  a  co-operator/'  In  a  letter 
(Oct.  29,  1821)  the  Bishop  writes  thus  of 
Mr.  Mill  i^.^**  His  attainiueDts  are,  indeed, 
pre-eminent.  It  would  be  an  honour  to 
any  learned  establishment  to  have  such  a 
man  at  the  head  of  it.  I  sometimes  con- 
verie  with  him — two  or  three  hours  to- 
cetber,  upon  books,  and  their  subjects,  and 
knowing  pretty  well  as  1  do  the  measure 
of  men's  minds  here,  I  will  lake  upon  me 
-to  tay,  that  bia  knowledge,  both  tn  area 
ind  in  depth,  has  nothing  equal  to  it  in 
•  India.*' 

Dr.  Mill  returned  home  on  accoiiQl  of 
ixapaiTed  health,  in  1B38.  He  was  ap« 
pointed  Domestic  sod  Eiamining  Chap- 


lain  to  Archbishop  Howley  in  1@39,  and 
Christian  Advocate  in  the  University  of 
Cambridge  in  1840.  Having  proceeded 
D,D.  he  was  admitted  ad  eundim  at  Ox- 
ford, May  11,  1H39,  being  presented 
thereto  by  the  Provost  of  Oriel. 

In  \Si3  he  was  a  candidate  for  the  Re- 
gius Professorship  of  Divinity  at  Cam- 
bridge, but  the  ekctton  was  in  favour  of 
Dr.  Ollivant,  the  present  Bishop  of  Llan- 
dfiff,  who  had  four  votes ;  Dr.  Chrigtophcr 
Wordsworth  having  two  votes,  and  Dr.  Mill 
one,  Inthe  same  year  Archbishop  Howley 
presented  him  to  the  living  of  Brasted, 
Kent ;  and  in  1848,  on  the  retirement  of 
Professor  Lee,  he  was  elected  Regius  Pro- 
fessor of  Hebrew,  to  which  office  a  Canoury 
at  Ely  is  attached. 

As  a  mathematicion  and  scholar,  Dr, 
MilFs  attainments  were  of  the  very  highest 
order  i  and  the  pursuits  of  his  youth  he 
continued  as  the  relaxation  of  his  maturer 
years.  His  acquirements  in  Sanscrit  have 
won  him  an  Europeao  reputation  ;  and,  as 
a  contribution  to  the  evangelizing  of  India, 
as  well  as  a  classical  production  iu  tliat 
great  langnsi^e,  his  Christa  Sangrita  is  a 
work  miparalleled  in  modern  literature. 

During  the  five  years  of  his  Professor- 
ship be  had  gone  through  in  his  Lectares 
the  whole  Book  of  Psalms,  and  had  com- 
mencedf  during  the  lost  term,  the  Minor 
Prophets,  leaving  off  at  the  fitth  chapter  of 
tiosea.  In  these  studies  he  frequently 
consumed  a  great  part  of  the  night,  sparing 
no  labour  in  investigating  the  sacred  text 
and  tbe  true  interpretation  of  Scripture. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  his  publislied 
works ; — 

Christa  Sangrita,  tbe  Life  of  Christ  in 
Sanskrit. 

Analysis  of  Pearson  on  the  Creed.

(published  at  Calcutta.)

Besides  several  occasional  sermons  *  and 
other  publications  in  India, and  io  England; 
and  papers  in  the  Anatic  Journal ^  and  in 
English  periodicals. 

Dr.  Mill  has  departed  amidst  the  sin- 
cere regrets  of  a  very  numerous  private 
acquaintance.  He  leaves  a  widow  and 
surviving  daughter,  tbe  wife  of  the  Rev. 
Benjamin  Webb,  of  Sheen.

Semor  Esquire  Bedell  of  the  University 

baf  Cambridge,   and  probably  the   oldest 

^■l^r  of  that  body. 

Iffr^  Gunning  was  born  nt  NewtouTnear 
Cambridge  (of  whieti  paiish  his  father, 
the  Rev.  Praucis  Gunning,*  waa  Vicar), 
on  the  13th  Feb.  176«.  He  wag  entered 
of  Chnst's  college,  17<^4,  beeame  a  Scho- 
lar of  the  Houie,  and  took  bif  degree  of 
B.A.  as  fifth  Wrangler,  in  1T8«.  On  rhe 
13th  Oct.  1789»  he  wn*  elected  one  of  the 
Eaquire  Bedelli  of  the  University  (after  a 
contest,  in  which  he  polled  lOS  votes 
Ag^alnst  58  recorded  for  his  competitor, 
Mr,  Earoooson,  of  St,  Catharine's  Hall). 
He  took  the  degree  of  M.A.  1791^  but  it 
was  not  till  1827  that  he  became  Senior 
Bedell.  In  that  capacity  he  had  the  honour 
to  receive  gald  chains  from  three  succes* 
five  C-lianccUors  of  the  University,  via. 
the  Marqucti  of  Camden  (1834),  the  Duke 
of  Korthumberland  (1844),  and  His  Royal 
Higbness  Prince  Albert  (1847).  Mr. 
Gunning,  in  1B27»  published  a  new  and 
Improved  edition  of  Adam  WaU's  "  Cere- 
monies of  the  University  ;'*  and  in  18S0 
ft  smdl  pamphlet  on  the  subject  of  "  Com- 
positiona  for  Degrees.** 

In  1852  Mr.  Gunning  announced  his 
Intention  of  publishing  (by  subscription), 
•*  Reminiscences  of  the  University,  Town, 
and  County  of  Cambridge,  from    17B9/* 


•  The  Rev,  Francis  Gunning  (who  was 
Vicar  alio  of  tlie  adjacent  parishes  of 
ThnpIoTT  and  Hauxton),  was  grandson  of 
^  '  Miuning,  the  first  cousin  of  and 

J  that  distinguished  prelute  Peter 
t'linTHii!^',  suooeavively  Bishop  of  Cliichc^ter 
and  Ely/ 


This  work,  which  would  no  doubt  have 
been  most  interesting,  was  to  have  been 
dedicated  to  the  Dean  of  Ely  and  the 
Rev,  Professor  Sedgwick:  the  Dukes  of 
Rutland,  Somerset,  and  Bucclough,  the 
Morqness  of  Lansdowne,  Earl  Fitawilliamt 
the  Ertrta  of  Burling:  ton  and  Sum  ford, 
Lord  Monteagle,  the  Lord  Chief  Baron* 
Lord  Palmeraton,  the  Bithopa  of  London, 
Durham,  Winchester,  Lincoln,  Gloucester^ 
Bangor,  Carlisle,  Peterborough,  Worces- 
ter, Si,  David's,  Lichfield,  Ely,  Chester, 
and  LlandaflT,  were  amongst  its  patrons. 
Mr.  Gunning *s  subsequent  illness  pre- 
vented the  completion  of  his  design,  but 
WG  have  heard  it  stated  that  a  IdJ'ge  portion 
of  the  work  had  been  prepared  for  the 
press.  On  the  announcement  of  these 
**  Reminiftcences,"  Mr.  Gunnitig  received 
a  number  of  very  kind  and  roost  interest* 
ing  letters.  In  one,  written  by  Dr.  Gra- 
ham the  present  Bishop  of  Chester,  occurs 
the  following  passage ; 

'*  Among  my  own  recollections  of  Cam- 
bridge, not  the  least  pleasing  is  the  me- 
mory of  our  agreeable  intercourse  during 
each  of  the  years  when  I  held  the  office  of 
Vice*  Chancel  lor.  T  well  recall  to  mind 
how  often  in  our  official  hospitalities  the 
social  hour  was  enlivened  by  the  flow  of 
your  cheerful  conversation  and  the  variety 
of  your  interesting  anecdotes,  many  of 
which,  uo  doubt,  will  find  a  permanent 
pisee  in  your  forthcoming  volume,  I  only 
wish  it  were  possible  to  impart  to  the 
written  page  something  of  the  charm  which 
your  own  voice  and  manner  gave  to  every 
subject,  whtther  grave  or  gay." 

From  a  very  early  period  till  he  was 
about  80  years  of  age  Mr.  Gunning  took 
an  active  part  in  local  politics.  His  mp- 
port  of  the  Reform  Bilf  was  strenuous  and 
effective,  and  soon  after  it  passed  be  was 
presented  by  many  of  the  electors  of  Cam- 
bridge with  a  handsome  gold  medal.  When 
the  Municipal  Corporatnoos  Act  came  into 
force,  Mr.  Gunning  was  elected  &  Mem- 
ber of  the  Town  Council  of  Cambridge, 
which  position  he  retained  till  1S4K 
The  following  \&  an  extract  from  a  letter 
dated  Oct.  11,  165S,  written  by  the  R«v« 
Profesor  Sedgwick  to  an  intimate  friend 
of  the  deceased : — 

**  Say  everything  that  is  kind  on  mj 
part  to  Mr.  Gunning.  Tell  him  that  ha 
is  one  of  my  oldcit  and  most  valued 
friends ;  that  I  have  now  known  bim  for 
considerably  more  than  forty  years,  in- 
deed, almost  fifty  ;  for  I  came  up  Fresh- 
man in  1B04,  and  1  have  known  him  almoat 
ever  since.  I  always  respected  him  as  a 
gentleman  of  high  and  honourable  feelings; 
and  I  admired  that  independence  of  his 
character  which  led  him  to  do  homage  to 
what  he  believed  truth ^  and  to  seek  what 


208  Obituaky* — Seik  Willimn  Stevmion^  Esq.  F.S.A,      [Feb. 


he  believed  the  beat  social  and  political 
interests  of  his  country  without  ffjir, 
favour,  or  afifectfon;  and  abore  nil  with- 
out any  regard  to  hi*  o^rn  prifate  iiitercits. 
That  one  who  felt  so  iCrooglj  should  be 
always  right  woutd  be  out  of  human  na- 
ture; but  in  most  of  his  views  I  sympa- 
thised with  him ;  and  I  always  liked  his 
detestation  of  that  base  coin  of  itham  and 
humbug,  by  which  so  many  men  in  former 
times  (for  I  do  think  men  are  morenttcere 
now^  though  still  bad  enough),  paid  their 
way  through  the  world,  and  cut  a  pom- 
pous figure  in  it." 

Though  of  very  decided  political  princi- 
pleSf  and  uot  slow  in  cxprei^tng  hia  opi- 
uiooa  with  warmth  and  eamestDesa,  it  is 
cratifyiDg  to  add  that  T^Ir.  Guuning  tn* 
joyed  the  frieDdship  of  many  excellent 
persoDii  whose  sentiments  differed  fery 
widely  from  his  own. 

His  long  official  position  in  the  Uni- 
versity brought  him  into  frequent  contact 
with  many  members  of  that  body,  by 
whom  he  was  very  highly  respected  for  his 
courtesy,  gentlemanly  beariug;  and  the 
great  liberality  with  which  he  communi- 
cated to  otben  his  extensive  and  peculiar 
knowledge  respecting  the  privilegea  and 
constitution  of  the  Uniyeriiity* 

A  few  years  since  Mr.  Gunning,  by  an 
accidental  fall^  fractured  his  hip«jomt| 
and  became  incurably  lame.  We  regret  to 
add  that  his  subsequent  sufferings  were 
very  aerere  and  protracted,  though  borne 
with  the  fortitude  and  hope  of  a  sincere 
Christian. 

Mr.  Gunning  married  in  1794  Misa 
Bertram,  whom  he  survived  many  yeara. 
Uia  eldest  and  only  surviving  soq»  Henry 
Bertram  Gunnings  esq.  of  Little  Shclford 
In  Cambridgeshire,  was  formerly  a  Charity 
Commissioner,  and  an  Assistant  Tithe 
Commissioner.  Another  son,  Francis  John 
Gunning,  was  an  eminent  solicitor  in 
Cambridge,  and  held  the  office  of  Towxi 
Clerk  from  1336  to  1340;  and  a  third  son, 
Frederick  Gunning,  e«q.  was  at  the  bar, 
ha^-ing  extensive  practice  ou  the  Norfolk 
Circuit,  and  was  the  author  of  a  treatise 
on  the  **  Law  of  Tolls." 

A  tine  portrait  of  Mr.  Gtmnlng,  by  his 
friend  the  late  Dr,  Wood  house,  is  in  the 
possession  of  C,  H.  Cooper,  esq,  F.S.A. 
the  present  Town  Clerk  of  Cambridge. 

It  was  intended,  on  Mr,  Gunning's 
death,  to  reduce  the  number  of  Esquire 
Bedells  to  two.  A  Grace  to  that  effect 
w^ss,  however,  rejected  by  the  Senate  in 
February  1853.

William  Steveoson,  c»q*  F.S.A.  who  edit* 
the  Second  Edition  of  Bentham's  Uiator] 
of  Ely  1B12;  to  which  he  added  a  Sup

a  memoir  will  be  found  in  our  Magaxia 
for    May,    ISiJl,   p.  472.     Mr.    Stcv 
son's  father  and  himself  had  been  pnOi*] 
prietors  of   The   Norfolk   Chronicle  foi 
nearly  70  years,  and  the  subject  of  i 
notice  had  been  a  member  of  the  firm  • 
years,  occupying  a  most  important  and] 
promtuent  position  in  its  proprietary  and 
editorial   management.     *•  W>   lose    (d 
mark    his    coadjutors    in    that   joamaQj 
his  clear r   comprehensive,    and   directin 
mind^ — his  vigorous  intellect  and  cultivate 
taste— the  ready  pen  of  the  accomplished] 
scholaj-— the   needed  advice   in  diffica' 
and  emergency  of  such  a  matured  age 
and  the  high  privilege  of  habitual  inter* 
course  with  a  noblc-hearted  English  gentle- 1 
man  and  Christian.     A  rare  concentration  j 
of  qualities,  bestowed  by  Proridence  in  a  ! 
position  of  life  especially  ne«ding  them, 
and  ever  used  by  their  possessor  for  the 
worthiest  and  holiest  of  purposes.** 

Although  Mr.  Stevenson  devoted  to  the 
calling  of  his  adoption  the  largest  and  most 
Taluable  portion  of  his  time  and  taieoti« 
and  though  naturally  of  a  retiring  diapoai* 
tiofi,  he,  as  a  good  citizen,  hesitated  not 
to  make  large  sacrifices  of  personal  ease, 
in  order  to  fill  the  most  important  muni* 
cipal  offices  under  the  old  corporation* 
He  was  elected  City  Sheriff  in  1828,  con- 
jointly with  G.  Grout,  esq.  In  the  same 
year  he  became  an  Alderman^  and  in  18^2 
he  was  unanimously  elected  to  serve  the 
ofBcc  of  Mayor.  The  exemplary  manner 
in  which  every  appointment  was  jfiiled  ia 
still  fresh  in  the  recollection  of  hia  con- 
temporaries ;  the  varied  functions  of  the 
respective  offices  were  discharged  with 
great  ability  and  honesty  of  purpose,  their 
dignity  maintained  by  carrying  them  out 
in  a  wise  and  enlightened  spirit,  dispensing 
at  the  same  time  the  ancient  hospitalities 
with  his  usual  liberaUty.  Within  the  Uist 
year  i^r  two  Mr.  S.  waa  elected  a  Charitj 
Trustee. 

Literary  pursuits,  and  especially  aikti- 
quarian  subjects,  engroaiecl  nearlf  the 
entire  portion  of  leisure  which  the  more 
pressing  claims  of  business  permitted  to  be 
thus  appropriated.  In  early  life  Mr.  Ste« 
veuson  made  several  continental  tours, 
principally  with  the  view  to  enlarge  and 
cultivate  his  taste,  and  certainly  without 
any  intention  of  ever  publishing  the  reaulta 
of  his  observation.  The  year  after  the 
battle  of  Waterloo  he  visited^  in  company 
with  Captain  Money,  the  scene  of  £ng«

Among  the  reat  an  account  of  the  very  re*

afterwards  the  subject  of  a  paper  by  Mr. 
Wright,  printed  in  the  Journal  of  the 
British  Archieological  Aaaociatitm. 

Mr.  Stevenson  was  deeply  imbued  with 
trne  Conservative  principles,  ardently  at*

Church  and  State,  but  especially  ansious 
that  our  national  Protestantism  should  be

attacks  of  Dissent,  and  the  more  violent  ag- 
greasion  of  Rome.  Whilst  he  viewed  with 
considerable  alarm  the  schisms  cauaied  in 
the  bosom  of  our  Church  by  an  exceasivo 
rituftlism,  he  equally  feared  nnd  defilored 
that  widely-spread  laxity  and  latitudinari- 
anism  which  destroys  its  unity  by  treating 
crecdis  and  formularies  aa  things  inditfer- 
ent.  He  felt,  indeed,  that  the  middle 
course  waa  the  only  one  consistent  with 
wisdom  and  safety. 

In  every  social  and  domestic  relation  of 
life  be  baa  left  a  bright  example.  Exem- 
plary in  the  performance  of  every  filial  and 
parental  obligation,  be  was  alike  dintifi* 
guiahed  by  unsullied  honour  and  thestdot- 
est  integrity  in  the  most  aubordinate,  aa 
well  as  the  most  important,  transactions 
in  which  he  waa  engaged.  As  the  bead  of 
a  large  eatabiiahment  he  waa  esteemed  by 
every  person  in  his  employment,  for  the 
naiform  kindnesa  and  conrtesy  dbplayed 
towards  them,  and  for  the  considerate 
feeling  exhibited  on  all  occaaioua  of  afflic* 
tion  and  diatrcss.  Full  of  intelligencei 
with  a  liue  retentive  memory,  hi^  conver- 
aatiou  waf^  both  amuiing  and  instructive, 
hia  manners  were  pultsheJ  and  prcposaea- 
ingj  and  he  woa  endowtd  with  a  large 
measure  of  Christian  charity  for  the  tempt- 
atious  and  failings  of  others.  But^  above 
ail,  he  was  b leased  with  a  share  of  that 
wiijdom  which  is  from  above,  with  the  sure 
and  steadfast  b  ope  of  the  Ch  ristion , — a  hope 
which  disarmed  death  of  ita  terrors,  and 
lighted  ap  the  dark  valley  through  wliich 
he  waa  permitted  tranquilly  and  peacefully 
to  paas. 

Indisposition  in  the  summer,  but  not  of 
a  character  to  excite  alarm,  induced  him 
to  try  the  effccta  of  a  change  of  acene  and 
air  by  visiting  his  gou-in-Iaw,  Mr.  John 
Deighton,  surgeon,  of  Cambridge*  Here 
a  geni^ral  and  premature  decay  of  the  aya- 
tem  man  developed  itself;  a  gradual  pros- 
tration of  physical  energy  rendered  it 
haxardous,  if  not  imjioaaible,  to  remove 
him  home,  and  after  lying  several  weeks 
in  a  ho|i«less  but  comparatively  painleii 
(State,  surrounded  by  his  family,  he  peace* 
fuily,  and  almost  imperceptibly,  slept  the 
long  sleep  of  daatli. 

Mr.  Stevenson  became  a  widower  in 
1848.  He  baa  left  three  children^  the 
Rev.  Seth  Wm.  Stevenson,  M.A.,  Mr. 
Henry  Stevenson,  and  Adelaide,  the  wife 
of  Mr.  John  Deighton  of  Cambridge.

Qfttfte^be  was  almoai  the  oldeat  surviving 
member  of  both  those  Societies.  His  at-

'  Ei  Duht-nisster  was 

borti  al  Gcfvilic  on  tbe  IfKh  September, 
1769.  His  father,  being  lord  of  the  manor 
of  Uiat  porif  b,  assumed  tbe  name  of  that 


He  commenced  his  scholastic  education 
in  the  college  of  Contances  in  October, 
1770,  where  he  remained  nine  year?. 
Young  as  he  then  was,  he  signalised  him- 
self by  his  application,  by  a  love  for  the 
classic  authors,  and  by  a  quick  perception 
of  their  beauties  and  spirit.  Leaving  col- 
lege he  entered  the  University  of  Caen  for 
two  years,  and  then  returned  to  his  fatlicr*« 
roof,  where  he  divided  his  time  between 
the  study  of  languages,  gardening,  and 
other  country  amusements.  Here  be  im- 
bibed and  estabUsbcd  a  taste  for  botany, 
which  in  after  years  he  studied  as  a  scicDCC. 
The  French  Revolution  put  a  sudden  stop 
to  these  peaceful  occupations,  and  the 
youug  Duh^rissier  was  soon  doomed  to  be 
a  wanderer  in  a  strange  land, 

\VTien  the  Revolntion  came  M.  de  Ger- 
ville  decided  at  once  on  his  future  course. 
In  179S  he  set  out  for  Liege  and  enrolled 
himself  in  the  army  of  the  Due  de 
Bourbon.  At  the  close  of  that  year  he 
and  others  obtained  leave  of  absence,  on 
condition  of  rejoining  whtn  called  upon; 
an  eventuality  which  never  occurred.  In 
the  beginning  of  1793,  be  embarked  from 
Hollaud  and  landed  at  Hiirwichf  and,  on 
foot,  proceeded  through  Colchester  and 
Chelmsford  to  London,  putting  up  at  the 
Black  Bull  in  Leadenhall  Street.  Ram- 
bling in  the  city  he  met  a  fellow  emigrant, 
with  whom  he  had  become  accjuaintcd  at 
Bemcsfitel,  and  who  was  dooiiciled  Itl 
Spital^elds  as  a  ailk- weaver  with  numerous 
other  emigrants.  With  him  he  lodgedi 
and  there  daily  a  part  of  bis  oceupaUoa 
was  to  translate  the  English  papers  to  his 
fellow-counti  ymen.  In  the  spring  of  this 
year,  M.  de  Gervillc  was  enrolled  in  a 
corps  ns m ed  the  Loy at  Emigrant  Regiment, 
which  joined  the  disastrous  eipcJition 
under  the  Duke  of  York,  and  formed  part 
of  the  garrison  of  Meniu  when  it  capitu- 
lated under  General  llammeratcin.  Sub- 
sequently this  corps  retunted  to  England, 
and,  reinforced  witti  four  English  regi- 
ments, was  embarked  nnder  Admiral 
Harvey  for  Cluibcron-  The  futile  result  of 
tliis  expedition  b  well  known  :  tbe  troops 
were  taken  to  Jersey,  and  ultimately  back 
to  Eugland.     For  some    time  they  were 

?ttartered  at  Ryda  in  the  lale  of  Wight, 
n  I7il6  we  find  M.  dc  Gerville  at  Uol- 
clie^ttT  giving  instruction  to  pupih  in 
Italiao  and  Latin.  While  here  he  be- 
came acquainted  with  the  Rev,  Johii 
Hiliiyard,  who  resided  rit-ar  HBdleigh,and, 
as  one  of  the  family,  when  he  removed  to 
Barton -upon- number,  M.  de  Gerville 
accompanied  him.  He  always  referred 
with  great  delight  to  this  period  of  his 
life.  At  Barton  he  was  enabled  to  study 
his  favourite  soieocf  of  botany  with  great 
advaatogei  tad  the  tererity  of  exile  wtt

MINOR  CORRESPONDENCE. 


Mr.  Urhak,—- Records  of  what  eiiftt 
no  longer  are  at  much  within  the  pro- 
finoe  of  arcbfeologjr  aa  those  of  what  is 
itlll  fxlitlng.  The  ancient  maniion  of 
the  Dennis  family  at  Pucklechorch,  in 
Gloucestershire,  long  desecrated  to  the 
UMi  of  a  school,  was  pulled  down,  and 
its  materials  sold  and  dispersed,  in  De- 
cember last.  It  is  alluded  to  in  the  His- 
tory of  the  County  by  Atkyns,  and  par- 
tially noticed  by  Rudder,  but  of  the  in- 
terior nothing  is  said.  There  was  a  good 
oak  staircase,  and  some  rich  naneling, 
and  there  were  also  two  elaboratiuy  ctnred 
cbimney-pieces,  but  these  latter  were 
BHich  mutilated.  Drawings  of  the  whole 
bave,  however,  been  presenred,  and  are,  I 
beliere,  still  in  the  possession  of  Messrs. 
Mnder  and  Eyre,  1,  John  Street,  Bed- 
ftird  Row.  On  one  appears  the  coat  of 
Dennis  impaling  two  bars;  oTer  all  an 
eagle  displayed  double-headed   (Spekc). 

Oo  one  fide  are  the  initials  i  '^  m  ;  on  the 
otber  the  date  1652.  This  is  remarkable, 
laaimncb  as  the  initials  and  date  are 
oommemorative  of  John  Dennis  the  son, 
wbQe  the  arms  are  those  of  Henry  Dennis 
tiie  fether.  The  latter  married  Margaret, 
dangbter  of  Sir  George  Speke,  of  White- 
Laekington,  co.  Somerset,  K.B.  and  died 
In  1638.  The  former  married  Maria, 
daughter  of  Nathaniel  Still,  of  Button, 
CO.  Somerset,  son  of  Bishop  Still,  and 
died  in  1660,  aged  forty-one  ;  and  on  the 
second  chimney-piece  appear  his  arms, 
▼ia. :  Dennis,  impaling.  Ermine,  three 
roses,  two  and  one  (Still).  The  eldest 
daughter  and  co-heir  of  William  Dennis, 
the  son  (as  we  believe)  of  John,  and  the 
last  owner  of  that  ancient  faniilv  seat, 
who  died  in  1701,  married  a  Mr.  Butler, 
of  Ireland,  and  sold  the  property. 

Yours,  &c.  L. 

Mr.  Urban, — By  the  courtesy  of  your 
correspondent  J.  B.  I  have  been  enabled 
to  consult  the  document  containing  the 
•trange  word  "joryng,"  to  which  T 
alluded  in  the  few  observations  I  made  on 
the  Duke  of  Richmond's  Council,  in  n 
former  number,  p.  50.  I  certainly  find  the 
word  there  as  he  printed  it— "joryng;" 
but  I  beg  to  submit  a  very  different 
meaning  to  that  which  he  assigned  to  it. 
He  interpreted  it  "  swearing,"  but  I  sug- 
gest its  meaning  to  be  that  of  "  a  daily 
sitting,"  from  the  common  word  "jour." 
Every  member  of  the  Council  was  paid 
for  the  days  of  his  attendance,  sitting  or 
jouring  in  council,  exactly  on  the  same 
principle  that  many  of  the  directors  of 
commercial  companies  are  now  remune- 


rated, and  as  all  the  members  of  the  legis- 
lative assemblies  of  the  colonies  of 
America  were  paid  before  the  Indepen- 
dence of  the  United  States.  This  view  of 
the  meaning  of  the  word  is  confirmed  by 
the  document  itself,  where  a  synonym 
leads  to  its  true  signification.  Opposite 
'  to  the  enumeration  of  the  names  of  cer- 
tain members  of  the  Duke's  Council,  is 
this  statement  of  the  pay  assigned  to 
them : — 

•*  Every  of  theis  hadde  4».  by  the  day 
for  hym  selfe  and  12'*.  for  every  of  ther 
servanntes  in  the  tyme  of  joryng  or  set- 
ting in  the  causes  of  justyce." 
With  thanks  to  yonr  correspondent  J.  B. 
I  remain  yours,  &c.  R>  L* 

Mr.  Urban, — Allow  me  to  refer  your 
correspondent  Mr.  Tipan  (p.  161)  to  a 
note  on  the  English  translation  of  Mat- 
tlue's  Greek  Grammar,  5th  ed.  p.  1117. 
*'  The  true  nature  of  this  tmttit  of  a  com- 
poanded  verb  with  *f,  was  first  explained 
by  Mr.  Cogan  in  Dr.  Aikiu's  Athenaeam, 
voL  i.  p.  478.  It  takes  ulace  only  with 
the  aorist  when  used  in  the  frequentative 
sense ;  ir*  *>  Q«vr«,  *'  they  are  accustomed 
to  selL''  This  will  sufficiently  explain 
why  prei<ent  tenses  are  intermixed  with 
the  aorist  so  used  ;  the  present  having  a 
frequentative  senae.  In  two  passageti 
quoted  by  Mr.  Vipan  (Her.  1,  13^,  3, 
138),  there  is  no  tm§$i»  nor  is  the  sense 
frequentative.  In  Aristophanes,  Ran.  1048, 
there  is  a  tmetiij  and  the  sense  is  frequen- 
tative, Bacchus  having  fallen  more  than 
once  or  twice  under  the  power  of  the  other 
dirinity.  Yours,  5cc.     John  Kknrick. 

J.  T.  M.  says,  with  reference  to  a  para- 
paph  at  p.  1 14,  and  the  article  on  the 
Christian  Knowledge  Society's  Septuagint, 
theLXX.  of  Bagster'H  Polyglott  (1^21) 
omits  the  apocryphal  books,  and  consc 
qnently  copies  are  interleaved  with  the 
Hebrew.  This  is  exactly  in  the  spirit  of 
your  Reviewer's  suggestions,  or  rather  in 
anticipation  of  them.  Mr.  B.  has  issued 
a  separate  edition  of  those  books,  which 
is  noticed  in  Gent.  Mag.  Jan.  1853,  p.  64. 

In  p.  ^54  of  our  present  Number,  col.  2, 
the  statement  that  '*  the  transpositions  of 
Jeremiah  were  not  rectified,"  is  an  error : 
Bishop  Pearson  arranged  the  chapters 
according  to  the  Hebrew.

The  family  of  Fox^  **  notwithatand- 
ing/'  reniiirkfr  Lord  Uolland,  "some 
little  venial  emieavours  to  conceal  the 
£ict,**  was  of  recent  and  humble  origin. 
Stephen  Fox,  a  "young  man  bred,"  says 
Lord  Clarendon,  '*  under  the  severe 
''  Loi-d  Percy  now  Lord 
, '  was  appointed^  in  1052,

i  sharks  tl.  whilst  an  exile.

and  executed  his  trust  with  «o  ^*  ^rent 
industry,  modesty,  and  prudence,*"  as 
to  acquire  an  eminent  degree  of  con* 
sideration  in  the  royal  household. 
Ai^er  the  Resloratlon,  the  lacrative 


office  of  paymaster  of  the  farces  soon 
yielded  hmi  a  Inrge  fortunci  which  it 
appears  from  Pepya  he  was  careful  to 
increasci  as,  for  example^  by  selling 
bind  and  *'  putting  out  *  the  proccetls 
at  the  even  then  unwonte^I  interest  of 
ten  per  cent,  per  annum.  Xor  did  Sir 
Stephen — for  lie  waa  knighted  in  1665 
—neglect  In  his  own  household  those 
humbler  virttiea  of  prudence  and  good 
management  which  he  had  introduced 
with  such  excellent  efiect  into  the  eeta- 
blisbmeni  of  Wn  careleits,  spendthril^ 
sovereign.  Pepys  describes  Fox  him- 
self as  ♦*  a  very  fine  gen  tie  man,"  and 
his  wife  who,  as  Mrs*  Elizabeth  Whit- 
tle, had  been  an  old  acquaintancci  if 
not  a  tlame,  of  tfie  Diariat,  as  '^  a  very 
fine  lady  and  mother  to  fine  children.  * 
Fox  was  one  of  Pepys's  guests  at  his  first 
dinner  in  the  Navy  Office.  The  feast 
cost  hioi,  as  he  tells  us»  *^  above  5L^ 
and  raerry  we  were — only  my  chimney

trouble  \a  over.'*  Fox*e  dinnert*  elicit 
the  cidminition  of  Pepys,  and  it  is  evi- 
dent from  '*the  special  company*'  he 
met  at  the  paymaster*.^,  that  the  clerk 
of  the  acts  looked  up  to  Sir  Stephen  as 
living  ill  the  best  society,  and  enjoying 
all  the  comibrta  of  a  well-regulated 
home.  Jame^  U.  ilismissed  him  from 
Iiis  employment,  and  forbade  him  the 
court,  lor  daring  to  give  an  uncom- 
pliant vol<*  in  the  House  of  Commons, 
liut  these  jicnaltiea  of  honesty  neither 
destroyed  his  health  nor  his  fortune. 
In  the  reign  of  Queen  Anne,  and  at  the 
age  of  77,  he  married  a  second  time, 
and  die<l  in  171C  at  the  age  of  39,

practical  humour  which  is  «aid  to  have 
difltingtiished  the  art-loving  and  Stuart- 
Joving  Tobias*  Sir  Stephen's  second 
wife  was  a  Misa  Hofie,  to  whom  be  Ijad 
been  godfather.  She  wns  the  child  of 
a  poor  clergyman.  For  some  lime 
their  marriage  was  kept  a  secret,  llie 
lady  was  stilT  living  in  the  ciipacity  of 
companion  with  the  wife  of  Sir  Ste- 
phen's only  surviving  son  Chnrles.  A 
letter  arrived  at  the  house  addressed  to 
"Lad?  Fox/'  It  bccanic  a  subject  of 
speculation  and  wonderment.  It  wns 
in  thehandwntingof  Sir  Stephen,  who 
had  been  then  a  widower  for  eight 
Tears.  For  whom  could  it  be  intended  ? 
Forth  stepped  **Mii*s  Hope/'  and  added 
to  the  astonishment  by  claiming  the 
letter,  and,  hy  coni^euucncc,  her  aged 
bride^oom,  and  her  honnurj  I 

There  wei-e  fnur  children  by  Sir 
Stephen's  second  marriage,  two  sons 
and  two  daughters.  The  second  son, 
born  in  1705,  was  Henry,  atlerwartln 
the  first  Lord  Holland,  and  father  of 
Charles  James  Fox.  The  molher  of 
the  great  Whig  statc^nan  (Ijy  a  stolen 
match)  was  Lady  Georgina  Caroline 
Lennox,  eldest  daughter  of  Iho  Uukc 
of  Richmond.  Henry  Fox  held  in 
ijuick  succession  many  oltices  in  tlu^ 
government,  and  wus  unouestionably 
a  man  of  very  considerable  practfrul 
talent,  which  wad  set  olf  by  iniiiiite 
good  temper.  Hut,  conjoined  with 
these  excellent  mmlitief,  Vere  otber.^ 
wbiub  threw  a  Miade  over  his  whole 
character,  and  eonifiel  us  to  conclude, 
that  his  example  as  a  parent,  and  the 
inllucnce  wiiicb  in  that  character  he 
was  likely  to  exercise  over  the  mind 
of  a  clever  boy  like  Im  son  Charlet^, 
must  have  been  in  the  highest  degree 
prejudicial,  Public  virtue,  principle 
of  any  kind^  oi"  evcji  reguJariiy  m  money 
transactions  (a  qualify  which  one  might 


[March, 


have  hopc^l  he  would  have  inherited 

from  his  accurate  and  methodical 
father),  were  properties  which  Henry 
Fox  never  made  a  pretence  of  possess- 
ing;  he  was  even  apt  to  turn  into  ridi* 
eule  those  ha|>pier  nn^n  in  whom  they 
were  found.  Expensive  in  his  tastca 
and  habits  given  to  the  most  costly 
pleasures,  or  rather  vices,  of  the  day, 
and  especially  to  that  vice  of  vices, 
gambling,  one  can  scarcely  imagine  a 
person  less  fitted  to  guide  the  studies 
or  form  the  character  of  a  youthful 
statesman, — any  one  from  whom  thcro 
could  be  imbibed  a  greater  mass  of 
mental  aliment  which,  if  there  were  to 
be  any  peace,  or  happiness,  o?  reapeot-  \ 
ability  m  after  life,  it  was  necessary  ta  ^ 
forswear,  forsake,  and  even  to  forget. 
In  excuse  for  Lord  Holland  it  must 
not  be  forgotten  that  he  lost  his  father, 
and  the  benefit  of  parental  control, 
when  at  the  age  of  ten. 

Chnrles  James   Fox   was   bom   in 
Conduit  Street  on  the  24tb  January, 
1 74H-9.    His  quickness  began  to  shew 
itself  even  at  the  very  earliest  age,  and^ 
wns  appreciated  by  his  parents  as  notiel 
liut  parents  can  appreciate  the  good  J 
qualities  o^  their  children.     It  was  re-^ 
warded,  as  is  too  comuionly  the  case*  ^ 
with  excessive  indulgence;  that  kind 
of  foolish  indulgence  which  operates  in 
every  way  injuriously,  and  peculiarly 
so  when  parents  are  surrounded  by 
per^ouB  anxious  to  obtain  their  favour* 
Such   pcrr^ons   court    the   parents   by 
out-h eroding  the  parental  indulgence 
and  lluttcry  of  the  children,  who  fon- 
:«equenlly  never   hear  the  trutli,  nor . 
arc  cver'taught  the  customary  lesi 
of  aclf-conln>l.     Such  was  the  infancy 
and  youth  of  Chtirlc^t  Jamcd  Fox.  Hiji 
eiirly  manhood  exhibited  the  i*e8ult«# 

At  the  age  of  seven  he  was  sent,  i 
in  tlie  langungG  of  his  father, 
determined  to  go,"  to  a  iircparatory 
school  at  Wandsworth,  kept  by  a 
Frenchman  of  Ihe  name  of  Pamnel*  i 
lonne.  After  two  years  he  possea  to 
Eton,  where  he  was  assisted  in  im  les* 
son?*  Iiy  the  Rev.  Mr.  Francis,  the 
tran-ilator  of  Horace,  and  father  of  the 
JuniuH  Sir  Fliilip.  In  Me>t\  *<  the  fond- 
ness and  mistaken  imlulgence  of  hit  ^ 
father  took  him  from  school  and  car- 
ried him  first  to  Paris  and  then  to  Spu.'* 
After  four  months"  idleness  and  in- 
struction in  foreign  vice,  he  returned, 
by  his  own  choicct  to  Eton,  where  the

liim  in  a  propeusity  which  became  the 
iOurcfi  of  much  future  unbappineBS  to 
both. 

In  October  1764,  Fox  was  trana- 
ferred  from  Eton  to  Oxford,  where  be 
waa  entered  of  Hertfonl  College  (since 
extinct)  in  order  that  be  injgbt  be

ford \n  the  spring  of  17t>t>,  Both  at 
school  and  college  his  reputation  was 
established  for  very  extraordinary 
uuickuesd  imd  vigour  of  intellect;  and 
Irord  IIolLind  has  been  at  some  pains 
to  collect  evidence  that  he  at  that  pe- 
riod of  his  life  exhibited  consideranlc 
powers  of  application.  But  his  inherent 
excellences  were  all  interfered  with 
by  injudicious  nituiagement  at  home. 
Lvery  great  sight  was  esteemed  cause 
enough  to  witbdruw  bim  iVom  study  ; 
fears  were  enter tainet!  lest  over-appli- 
latton  should  injure  the  beulth  of  a 
young  gentleman  who  cnubl  walk  from 
Oxford  to  Loudon  on  a  sultry  sum- 
mer's day,  and  even  the  pleasures  of 
A  trip  with  his  sisters  to  Paris,  from 
April  to  July,  were  thought  of  too 
much  moment  to  be  siici'ihced  to  ibe 
jealous  demands  of  bis  Oxlbrd  alma

In  the  meantime  his  fatherf  who  had

an  orator,  had  purchased  the  borough 
of  Midhurst^  and  procured  him  to  be

made  on  the  9th  March,  1768*9,  when 


he  was  little  more  tiiati  twenty  ycarit 
of  age. 

At  the  time  of  his  return  to  parHa* 
ment  he  was  evidently  a  gay,  light- 
heartcdj  and  gowi- tempered  young  fel»  J 
low,  well  skilled  in  French  und  ItaliaQi  i 
competently  acfinainted  with  Latin  tindl 
Greek,  fond  of  society,  a  lover  of  acttTe'J 
exercise,  a  giN*at  walker,  and,  above  all j 
things,  passionately  attached  to  acting^l 
in  private  theatricals.     The  ability  hel 
displayed  In  this  last  accomplishment  I 
was  probably  one  of  the  main  groimds  I 
upon  which  his  friends  miticipated  hii  J 
succciss  in  parliament,  and  there  is  no  ^ 
doubt  that  whilst  the  practice  of  speak"^ 
ing  in  plays  was  to  a  certain  extent  I 
preparAtion  for  debate?,  the  course  of 
reaaing  into  which  he  was  led  by  his  I 
fondness  for  theatricals,  not  only  nmdej 
him  critical  in  language,  but  stored  hia  I 
mind  and  memory  witli  nuiny  passngciJ 
of  which  in  after  life  bis  use  was  mo^t 
felicitous*    Lord  Uolhmd  mentions  that  ^ 
he  had  heard  Mr,  Fox  say  that  there 
was  no  play  extant  written  and  pub- 
lished before  the  Kcstoration  which  hc^ 
had  not  read  attentively.    But^  in  truth,  [

everyibiog  welli  which    is  the  secret] 
and   sure    foundation    of    excellence.) 
Upon  this  iiubject  Lord  Holland  makea  j 
the  following  remarks  : —

Life  of  Charles  James  FoXy  1749—1792.  [March, 


country,  he  devoted  himself  to  the  practi- 
cal work  of  a  gardener  ;  and,  in  like  man- 
ner, in  order  to  qualify  himself  for  carv- 
ing, he  used  to  have  a  small  book  of  in- 
itnictions  of  that  art  at  table,  and  ex- 
ecuted the  problems  laid  down  in  the  en- 
gravings. 

As  to  politiceif  he  knew  little  about 
them.  He  was  ignorant  of  the  state  and 
wants  of  the  nation,  and  of  course  had 
never  formed  any  opinions  as  to  the 
policy  by  which  they  were  to  be  reme- 
died. Efe  went  into  parliament  to  make 
adisplay  and  acquire  a  name — he  threw 
himseu  naturally  into  the  party  to 
which  his  father  was  attache<l — he  im- 
bibed all  their  low  and  narrow  views — 
he  looke<l  up,  as  his  father  clid,  to  stars 
and  ribbons  as  the  most  enviable  of 
human  distinctions,  and  in  pursuit  of 
them  he  was  prepared  to  go  all  lengths, 
not  only  agamst  Wilkes,  but  against  all 
friends  of  liberty  or  patriotism.  Lord 
Chatham  not  excepted.  His  maiden 
speech  was  made,  as  we  have  said,  on  the 
9th  March,  1768-9.  This  was  merely 
a  few  words  on  a  point  of  order.  On 
the  14th  April  he  snokc  in  support  of 
the  expulsion  of  Wilkes,  and  on  the 
8th  May  in  reply  to  Burke  and  Wed- 
derburne,  in  favour  of  the  return  of 
Colonel  Luttrell  for  Mifldlcsex.  This 
thinl  speech  told  extremely  well.  Sir 
Richard  Heron  says,  that  the  young 
orator  *>  made  a  great  figure  .  .  .  spoke 
with  great  spirit,  in  very  parliunicntary 
language,  and  entered  very  deeply  into 
the  question  of  constitutional  princi- 

Eles.  Horace  Walpole  admits  that 
e  "  answered  Burke  with  great  quick- 
ness and  parts,  but,"  he  adds,  "  with 
confidence  eciually  premature."  His 
father.  Lord  Holland,  writes,  in  great 
delight,  that  Charles  spoke  *'  extremely 
well.  It  was  all  ofl-hand,  all  ar^^u- 
mentativc  .  .  .  and  excessively  well  ui- 
deed.  I  hear  it  spoke  of  by  every 
body  as  a  most  extraordinary  thing." 

His  father's  description  of  his  "  ofl- 
hand"  mode  of  speaking  will  enable  us 
to  introduce  another  valuable  quota- 
tion from  Lord  Holland,  as  to  the  way 
in  which  Fox\s  customary  style  of  ora- 
tory was  influenced  by  his  early  pas- 
sion for  theatrical.^. 

Perhaps  his  practice  of  acting  was  not 
lesa  useful  to  him  as  an  orator  in  the  mo- 
dulation of  his  voice.  His  delivery  was 
indeed  too  natural  and  too  rapid  to  con- 
vey to  a  common  observer  any  appearance 


of  art.  Yet  the  power  of  expreeaing  pas- 
sion by  the  tones  of  his  voice  had  no 
doubt  been  brought  to  perfection  by  his 
exertions  on  the  stage.  For,  notwith- 
standing some  uopleasing  shrillness,  nnhar- 
monious  cadences,  and  occasional  screams 
beyond  the  scope  of  his  organ,  he  pos- 
sessed the  faculty  of  touching  the  heart 
by  his  voice  without  deviating  into  any 
thing  like  theatrical  display,  beyond  any 
orator  I  ever  heard  in  public.  His  deep 
tones,  which  occurred  very  rarely,  and 
very  shortly,  and  only  in  solemn  appeals 
to  the  feelings  and  justice  of  his  audience, 
had  the  most  thrilling  effect,  and  could 
scarcely  have  been  attained  by  any  one 
who  had  not  disciplined  his  voice,  at  some 
period  of  his  life,  to  such  a  purpose  by 
the  recital  of  sublime  or  impassioned  pas- 
sages of  poetry.  It  was,  indeed,  if  not  a 
peculiar,  a  striking  feature  in  Mr.  Fox's 
oratory,  that  it  bore  along  with  it,  as  it 
flowed  naturally  from  him,  a  great  variety 
of  manner  aM  well  as  matter. 

The  parliamentary  recess  <»1  17GJ» 
was  an  unfortunate  lera  in  the  life  of 
Charles  James  Fox.  He  and  one  of 
his  brothers  accompanied  his  father 
and  mother,  with  an  invalid  aunt,  to 
the  continent.  Their  intention  wa^  to 
have  gone  direct  to  the  South  of 
France,  but  on  arriving  at  Paris  the 
invalid  became  much  worse,  and  fmally 
died.  This  occasioned  a  stay  of  seve- 
ral months  in  dissolute  Paris,  at  that 
time  in  the  very  height  and  extrava- 
gance of  its  pre-revolution  madness  of 
vicious  excess.  The  Foxes  were  every 
where  received  with  open  doors,  and 
all  the  more  so  that  they  entered  deeply 
into  the  fashionable  vices  by  which 
they  were  surrounded.  All  of  them 
were  delighted  with  their  reception, 
but  they  bought  the  hospitality  which 
so  pleased  them  at  an  enormous  sacri- 
fice. Charleses  losses  at  play  were  es- 
pecially remarked  as  excessive. 

On  his  return  to  England  the  love 
of  play  seemed  to  have  fired  his  blood, 
and  for  several  years  he  delivered  him- 
self up  entirely  to  the  daily  and  nightly 
excitements  of  the  gamblmg  table  and 
the  debate.  In  the  latter  he  shone 
more  and  more,  and  gained  continually 
on  the  favour  of  the  House.  Even 
Walpole  is  compelled  to  note  that 
"the  House  roared  with  applause" 
when  young  Fox  outfaced  Wedder- 
burne  with  law  cases,  and  that  the 
young  Lord  of  the  Admiralty  (for  he 
was  appointed  to  that  office  early  in

as  he  terms  hinr,  fjavc  as  much  satis- 
faction to  Lord  North  as  he  dkl  dis- 
•»U8l  to  the  Opj)ositiou,  by  the  great 
talentfi  he  brought  to  bear  in  defence 
of  the  meaMun^s  of  the  court.  The 
other  side  of  his  character  Is  not  left 
without  its  due  iFhititration  by  the  same 
lively  chronicler. 

As  the  gan)  tug  and  eitravagaaco  of  young 
roen  of  quality  had  arrired  now  at  n  pitch 
never  heard  of^  it  b  worth  while  to  give 
tome  account  of  it,  Tbey  had  a  dub  at 
Ahnnck's  in  Pall  Mall,  where  they  played 
only  for  rouleaus  of  5r>/,  eacli.  aod  gene- 
rtliy  there  was  10,00(1/.  in  specie  on  the 
table^  Lord  Holland  had  paid  above 
20,000/.  for  hifl  two  aont.  Nor  were  the 
inaaneri  of  the  gamesters,  or  even  their 
dresaes  for  play^  nnde^erviug  notice.  They 
began  by  puUiiig  olF  their  embroidered 
clothed  and  put  on  frieze  great  coatv^  or 
turned  their  coati*  iiiaidc  outword^  for 
luck*  They  pu(  on  pieces  of  loitther  {&ud\ 
as  are  worn  by  footmen  when  tbi-y  clean 
knives)  to  save  their  Iwci^d  rufflta;  and  to 
guard  their  eyea  froni  tlie  light,  and  to 
prevent  tumbling  their  hair,  worf^  higli- 
CfOfmed  atrair  hnt«,  with  broad  hrimti 
and  adorned  with  flowers  and  ribbons  ; 
masks  to  conceal  their .  emotions  when 
they  played  at  nuinxc.  Each  gamester 
had  a  6maU  neat  btand  by  him,  to  hold 
their  tea,  or  a  wooden  bowl  with  an  edge 
of  or-molu  to  hold  their  rouleau**.  They 
borrowed  great  sums  of  Jews  at  exoibitant 
premiums.  Charles  Fox  called  his  out- 
ward room,  where  thoie  Jewa  waited  till 
he  rose,  his  Jem^oiem  Chamber. 

The  sum  mcDtioned  by  Horace  Wal- 
polc,  {kn  fldvaiicevi  by  Lord  Holland  for 
**  his  two  5ons,*'  was  but  a  trifle  in 
comparison  with  what  he  nltiiimtelv 
paid  for  Charles  alone.  In  1773  Fox  k 
(Hjcuoiaj-y  enibarrajjjsiuenls  reached 
their  climax.  At  Newmarket — for 
canl-plajing  and  horse-racing  went 
generally  together  —  he  wai<  usually 
successiuK  but  nothing  couhl  conntcr- 
balauce  his  \o»se^  at  AUuuckV.  Loril 
Egrcmont  informed  Lord  Holland,  hi 
1823,  that  be  wiis  convinced, 

by  reflection »  aided  by  luii  subsequent  ex- 
perience of  the  world,  that  there  was  at 
that  time  i^ome  unfair  confederacy  among 
some  of  the  pUytirs,  and  that  the  great 
losetra^  especially  Mr.  Fox,  were  actually 
duped  and  chejittzd.  He  should,  he  »aiJ, 
have  been  turn  to  pieces  and  stoned  by  rhc 
losers  tbcmselveA  for  hinting  such  a  diiog 
at  the  time  *,  and  even  now  those  of  them, 
himself  excepted,    who   snrviird,    would 


exclaim  at  each  a  supposition  *  hut  he  waa 
nevertbeleas  satisfied « that  the  immoderate, 
constant,  and  unparalteled  advantages  over 
Charles  Fox,  and  other  yoking  men,  were  | 
not  to  be  accounted  for  merely  by  the  dif-  ! 
fere  nee  of  pacing  or  holding  the  box,  or 
the  hazard  of  the  dice.  He  hod  indeed  no 
suspicions  (any  more  than  the  rest  had)  at 
the  time,  but  he  had  thought  it  much  over 
since,  and  he  now  had* 

The  resources  of  Fox's  **  Jerusalem 
Chamber"    came  at   last   to   an   end. 
Granting  aiinnitiea  wah  no  longer  avail- 
able. The  chances  of  play  were  so  coti* 
stautly  adverse  that  the  annuities  which 
bad  been  already  gi*anted  were  fall- 
ing into  arreai\    Duns  were  clamorous, 
credit  was  goue,  and  the  world  rang 
with  tides  of  FoxV  extravagance  and 
dissipation.      At  this  time  his  father  , 
purchased  bim  u  jiartial  relief  by  buy-  j 
ing  up  his  annuities,  which  was  dona  j 
to  the  extent  of  140,000/. 

At  this  veiy  time,  when  all  the  pru- 
dent i>eople  in  the  world  shook  their 
{leads  at  him,  and  careful  men  but- 
tuned  up  tbeir  pockets  if  tbey  did  but 
chance  to  meet  bim  in  the  street, 
CharlcH  Fox  resigned  his  office  rather 
than  concur  in  the  new  Koyal  Mar- 
riage Bill,  brought  in  upon  the  express 
command  of  Cteorge  ni.  **I  expect,** 
wrote  the  Iving  to  Lor<l  North,  "  everv  I 
nerve  to  be  strained  to  carry  the  bill. 
It  is  not  a  question  relating  to  adrai- 
nidtratioo,  but  personidly  to  my^iiflf ; 
thereibre  I  have  a  right  to  expect  a  | 
hearty  sujiport  from  every  one  in  my 
!^ervicc,  and  1  shall  remember  de- 
limltery/*  The  royal  promise  was  uok  j 
broken.  Fox  was  '*  remeraberotl  *' 
with  implacable  and  constftntly  hi- 
LTeasiog  aversion. 

But  Fox's  oppO!?ition  to  this  parti- 
cular bill  waa  not  considLTed  by  others, 
nor  intended  by  himself,  na  a  preluda  ] 
to  bin  going  into  general  opposition  tol 
the  administration  of  Lord  North.     It 
brought  upon  him  the  dislike  of  the  I 
king,  but  his  talcntd  were  needed  bv  I 
the   minister,  and,  the  Murriage  Biu  j 
once  passed,  Fox  rejoined  the  odnii^  '

Treaaui7.     But  be  now  proved  a  veiy 
unmanageable  subordinate.     In  a  en- 
tieal  dt^bate  be  took  upon  him  to  lead 
his   leader,   Lord  Nortbj  in  a  course

sober  men  look  aghast,  this  meredMb*^  * 
iog  young  profligate,  a»  be  wo*  gene-  •

by  a  peculiar  simplicity  of  expressioOf 
united  to  the  greatest  clearness  in 
argmnenl,  and  the  most  fttCcactivs

manner,  secured  that  atteotiod  of  tbe 
House  which  was  often  denied  to  mefi 
long  supposed  to  be  greatly  bis  iope- 
riors  in  every  way. 

Up  to  this  time  Fox  had  gtven  con- 
para  tivcty  little  senoiis  atsentioB  to 
{KjUtics.  lie  moved  to  repeal  tbe  Mar* 
riage  Bill  without  ever  having  read  it« 
and  wst  ready  at  a  minute's  notice  lo 
move  anv  thing,  or  to  answer  any 
body,  l^he  knowledge  cf  Ms  oppo- 
nents was  his  political  cnpital,  and  \v$ 
greatest  dexterity  eonai^ited  in  turning 
the  faetd  and  arguments  of  other 
men  against  themselves.  It  was  impos* 
sible  that  such  a  manV^uld  hang  loose 
upon  the  world  of  politics.  I^nomUii- 
ously  dismissed  by  Lord  North,  be 
soon  formed  connections  with  the  op- 
posite party.  The  political  philosophy 
of  Burke  won  upon  him :  he  began  to 
perceive  what  Wi?re  the  true  objects  of 
aovemmciit,  aud  to  give  a  welcome  in 
uis  heart  to  a  more  generous  course  of 
policy  tliiui  had  ever  been  dreamt  of 
in  the  [ihiloAopby  of  his  father  or  of

wos  complete,  and  with  an  impetuositv

as  it  was  dreaded  by  the  party  which 
had  cast  him  out^  be  ruslieil  into  the 
arena  against  Lord  North. 

The  American  War  gave  Itltu  fertile 
and  everchanging  political  themes. 
With  an  ardour  which  added  greatly 
to  the  anger  of  the  King,  he  de- 
fended the  cause  of  the  revolted  colo- 
nists, and  at  every  stage  of  the  unfor- 
tunate contest  became  more  vehement 
in  CO  nde  in  nation  of  Lord  North.  Lan- 
guage has  sdilani  been  put  into  forms 
of  condemnation  more  severe  than

Whether  (he  says)  Mr,  Burke  or  Lord

Lord  Shclburae,  the  friend  and  colleague 
ol  Lord  Chatham,  a  SecreUiry  of  State 
under  Lord  Rockingham,  a  raan  of  varied 
■eqaireinents  and  undoubted  abiHtief,  was, 

gertonallj,  far  superior  to  the  Duke  of 
drtland  aa  a  cdiididate  far  the  office  of 
Prime  Minbter,  The  King,  therefore, 
had  a  great  advaata^e  over  Mr.  Pox  in  the 
apparent  ground  of  tbe  quarrel. 

Had  Mr.  Fox  declared  that  he  would 
not  lerve  under  any  one,  or  at  all  cTent*

Parties  now  stood  thus.  Lord  Sbel- 
burne,  with  a  section  of  the  Whi^i», 
remained  in  office;  Fox,  Burke,  and 
the  rcniuindur  of  the  Whigs,  utider  the 
nominal  leadership  of  the  JJuke  of 
Porthmd,  were  again  in  opposition, 
where  they  found  themselvei^  side  by 
side  with  their  ohl  enemy  I^ord  North 
and  the  Tory  party  whom  they  had  so 
recently  driven  from  ofGee  with  infi- 
nite disgrace.  Sbclbarne  tried  in  vain 
to  unite  first  with  the  Whi^^s  and  after- 
wards w I tb  L ord  Nor  tb .  A V  i  11  i  uni  Pi  1 1, 
himself  a  host,  was  the  only  recruit  he 
could  obUtin. 

The  iidministratjon  concurred  in  the 
preliminaries  Jbr  a  peace  with  America, 
but  the  terui:j  were  in  many  respeetu 
jDost*  objeetiuuable  and  un^wpular. 
Both  Whigs  and  Tories — the  follower?* 
of  tbe  Duke  of  Portland  and  those  of 
Lord  North — united  in  their  condem- 
tion.  lly  their  junction  they  carried 
motions  against^the  minis  try,  and  drove 
Lord  Shelburnc  from  office.  Then 
ensued  the  tamout^  broad- bottomed 
coaJition  administration,  under  wbieh 
the  King  was  comj>elIed  to  accept  the 
Duke  of  Purthmd  as  Prime  Minister, 
and  Fox  and  North  as  joint  Secre- 
taries of  State.  No  party  arrangement 
that  hast  taken  place  in  this  country 
ever  ci^ated  ».uch  an  uproar  in  the 
mind^  of  the  people  as  this  ill-fated 
.and  unjuiitifiable  union.  That  Lord 
North  ifhould  consent  to  act  in  concert 
with  Fox,  who  had  exhausted  against 
him  the  whole  vocabulary  of  vitupera-

caring  \qss  about  Lord  North,  ju<lge

that  he  should  have  dreamed  6f  ooales-

dence  to  the  good  temper  of  Lord 
North,  and  the  absence  of  malevolence 
in  Fox.  Lord  Holland  has  placed  the 
coalition  in  the  most  favourable  Ibht ; 
but  the  adverse  judgment  of  Lord 
John  Kussell  will  pi*obably  be  more 
generally  acfjuiescca  in : — 

The  reasons  against  it  (he  says)  were 
many  and  weighty.  First,  Mr.  Fox's  in- 
vectives] against  Lord  North  were  either 
well  or  ill-founded.  If  well-founded,  he 
was  not  justified  in  joining  a  man  branded 
not  only  with  incapacity,  but  with  du- 
plicity, treachery,  and  falsehood.  If  ill- 
fonoded,  which  is  nearer  the  truth,  Mr. 
Fox  owed  it  to  public  decorum  not  to  pro- 
claim to  the  world  that  his  iuTectives  were 
the  ofi«pring  of  an  unreasoning  passion. 
He  would  have  found  some  better  means 
of  retracting  or  mitigating  bis  invectives 
than  by  a  political  junction  with  the  object 
of  them.  Nor  was  his  reflection  "  Inimi- 
citiae  breves,  amicitie  sempiterDse,"*  a  just 
defence.  The  enmities  he  had  engaged  in 
were  not  private  but  public  quarrels,  and, 
as  they  were  nut  incurred,  so  they  ought 
not  to  have  been  dropped,  from  placability 
and  good. nature.  Mr.  Prior  remarks  truly 
that  Lord  North  readily  forgave  the  utter- 
ing of  these  invectives,  but  the  public  never 
forgave  their  being  retracted. 

Secondly,  the  particular  occasion  chosen 
for  the  coalition  was  very  unfortunate. 
The  peace  of  17H3  was  a  very  bad  one, 
but  it  was  not  more  so  than  might  have 
been  expected  from  the  misgovernment  of 
Lord  North.  Any  peace  which  saved  the 
honour  of  the  country  hhouhl  have  n])- 
peared  venial  to  Mr.  Fox ;  at  all  events 
the  blame,  if  blnme  was  justly  due,  should 
have  fallen  rather  on  the  head  of  Lord 
North,  than  on  that  of  Lord  Shclburne. 
In  the  previous  ministry  of  Lord  Uock- 
ingham,  Mr.  Fox  hod  strongly  expressed, 
both  in  Parliament  and  in  his  letter  to  the 
King  of  Prussia,  \\\»  sense  of  the  calami- 
tons  state  to  which  the  country  had  been 
reduced.  cThe  author  of  those  misfortunes, 
Mr.  Fox  thought  at  that  time,  ought  to  be 
punished  ;  he  now  aided  him  to  return  to 
power. 

Thirdly,  although  it  might  be  alleged 
that  the  American  war  was  over,  and  that 
Economical  Reform  had  been  carried,  the 
great  distinctions  of  the  Whig  and  Tory 
parties  had  not  been  effaced.  The  Duke 
of  Richmond,  Lord  .Camden,  Mr.  Fox, 
Lord  John  Cavendish,  and  Mr.  Pitt,  were 
fkvonrable  to  Reform  of  Parliament ;  Lord 
North  and  Mr.  Dundas  were  against  it ; 
and,  although  Mr.  Burke  diflfered  from  his 
friends  on  this  subject,  yet  on  the  great 
oonititational  doctrines  of  a  control  of  the 
Crown  b/;>o/)Q)arinstitntloD0,  Mr.Barke 


as  well  as  General  Conway,  is  to  be  added 
to  the  statesmen  I  have  named.  It  was 
an  unnatural  combination  which  united 
Mr.  Fox  with  Lord  North  and  Lord  8tor- 
mont,  and  even  dispensed  patronage  to 
Lord  Sandwich ;  while  the  Duke  of  Rich- 
mond, General  Conway,  and  Lord  Camdeo, 
were  left  to  defend  prerogative  against  a 
constitutional  ministry. 

Thus  it  appears  that  the  failure  of  the 
coalition  was  not  an  accident,  but  a  result 
involved  in  the  elements  of  which  it  was 
composed.  The  King,  forced  by  a  violent 
wrench  to  take  back  Mr.  Pox,  was  an 
enemy  constantly  on  the  watch  against  his 
Ministers.  The  nation  was  not  very  par- 
tial either  to  Lord  North  or  to  Mr.  Fox. 
The  continued  miscarriages  of  the  one  had 
humbled  the  national  pride;  the  private 
life  of  the  other  alarmed  public  morality. 
Nor  did  men  readily  give  their  confidence 
to  a  man  so  vehement  in  his  language  as 
Mr.  Fox.  Sir  .Samuel  Romilly  remarks, 
that  men  rather  blamed  Lord  North  for 
joining  Mr.  Fox  than  Mr.  Fox  for  joining 
Lord  North.  At  a  later  period,  the  people 
readily  responded  to  the  severe  reflection 
of  Mr.  Wilberforce,  "that  the  Coalition 
|)artook  of  the  vices  of  both  its  parents  t 
the  corruption  of  the  one,  and  the  violence 
of  the  other." 

Tlic  official  conduct  of  Fox  was  again 
the  subiect  of  universal  praise;  but 
the  dislike  entertained  for  him  by  the 
King,  so  far  from  diminishing,  was  now 
fltrengthencd  by  new  considerations. 
The  Prince  of  Wales,  between  whom 
and  his  father  there  had  for  some  time 
past  existed  a  very  uneasy  feeling,  had 
become  intimate  with,  and  even  strongly 
attached  to,  Fox,  whose  advice  he  took 
on  various  matters  in  dispute  between 
himself  and  his  royal  father.  Nothing 
could  be  more  unfortunate  for  Fox. 
All  the  wildnesses  and  vices  of  the 
heir-apparent  were  attributed  by  his 
father  to  his  intimacy  with  Fox.  Thus 
the  old  prejudices  were  deepened,  and 
the  King,  although  outwardlv  civil  and 
even  cordial,  came  to  view  himself  as 
in  the  hands  of  enemies,  so  long  as 
Fox  and  his  friends  were  his  official 
servants.  Even  the  King's  partiality 
for  Lord  North  was  now  totally  lost, 
because  that  minister  by  the  coali- 
tion was  thought  by  his  Majesty  to 
have  "  delivered  him  up  to  Mr.  Fox." 
The  King's  conduct  in  authorising  his 
name  to  be  used  in  a  canvass  against 
the  ministers,  was  clearly  unconstitu- 
tional, and  is  emphatically  condemned 
by  Lord  John  Kussell.     Many  new

St.  Aita'a  Hill,  September  drd,  179^. 
My  dear  Henry, — Althaugli  I  now  ex- 
pect a  letter  from  you  in  a  very  few  days, 
yet  1  fttn  resolved  to  keep  my  promise  of 
not  letting!  fortnight  pass  without  writing. 
There  is  nothing  new  here,  and  intleed  if 
there  were  I  am  not  in  the  way  of  hearing 
it;  but  I  beheve  French  news  now  is  what 
all  the  world  is  prindpslly  interested  about. 
I  do  not  think  near  so  dl  of  the  busioess 
of  the  10th  of  August  aa  I  did  upon  first 
hearing  it.  If  the  King  and  his  Ministers 
were  really  determined  not  to  act  ia  con* 
cert  ^ith  the  iVssemhly  [  and  etiti  ii]t>re  if 
they  secretly  favoured  the  Invasion  of  the 
Barbarians  ;  it  was  necessary,  at  any  r<ite, 
to  begin  by  getting  rid  of  him  and  them. 
Indeed  you  know  that  from  the  moment 
of  the  diBmissiou  of  the  Jacobin  Ministry, 
I  have  thought  that  it  was  absolutely  ne- 
cessary either  that  the  Assembly  should 
come  round  to  the  Feuillans,  or  (which 
Bceraed  moat  according  tp  our  Whig  ideas) 
that  the  King  should  be  forced  to  have 
Ministers  of  the  same  complexion  with  the 
As$emhiy.  However,  it  ia  impossible  not 
to  look  with  disgust  at  the  bloody  means 
which  have  been  takeo,  even  supposing 
the  end  to  be  good,  aud  I  cannot  help 
fearing  that  we  ore  not  yet  near  the  cod 
of  these  trials  and  executions.  Muny  ac- 
counts give  me  great  uneasiness  for  the 
Queen,  and  I  am  more  and  more  sorry 
every  day  that  they  did  not  (as  I  think 
they  ought  to  have  done)  either  shut  her 
up  or  send  her  away  (the  last  best)  after 
the  King's  escape  last  year.  Tbe  capture 
of  LoDj^T,  especially  if  it  b  true  that  the 
municipality  forced  the  garrison  to  sur- 
render, is  a>ery  bad  begioniog  of  tho  war; 
and,  indeed,  the  way  in  which  the  news  of 
it  was  received  in  tbe  National  Aasembly

oi  &I>eculaLiori,  or  by  the  exigency  of 
tUc  timea,  attract  a  greater  number  of 
minds  in  tbis  country,  there  arc  other 
and  later  writers,  who  may  give  a  more 
syBtciMatized  account  of  the  science, 
witli  all  the  advantages  famished  by  a 
larger  experience  ot  a  state  of  society, 
in  which  ihe  rights  of  pieacc  and  war 
have  received  the  conscious  and  de- 
liberate sanction  of  nations*  But  we 
will  venture  to  say,  that  the  science 
will  never  be  illustrated  by  a  professor» 
who  will  bring  more  varied  learning, 
a  more  earnest  intention,  or  a  purer 
conscience  to  the  discussion  of  the 
problems  of  national  ethics,  than  Ilngh 
de  Grtiot. 

It  would  probably  be  impossible  t<> 
produce  an  instance  in  which  a  science 
or  an  invention  has  been  originated  in 
anything  like  a  perfect  form  by  a 
ijingle  mind.  DiHerent  portions  of  the 
whole  baye  been  antici[}ated  by  pre- 
vious discoverers.  The  ground  has 
been  cleared  bv  the  investigation  of 
pnnciples,  and  toe  soil  prepared  by  the 
general  stream  of  thought  of  the  age. 
We  give  the  name  of  inventors  to  tho«e 
who  first  present  an  art  to  the  world 
in  a  complete  form.  Hugo  CJrotiua 
fills  the  same  position  with  relation  to 
the  science  ot  international  law,  that 
is  occupied  by  Adam  Smith  in  that  of 
I'oljtical  Economy.  He  himself  claims 
in  his  Preface  the  honour  of  lieing  tire 
first  to  invest  hrs  subject  with  a  scien- 
tific form.  C^ertaiu  it  is,  that  the  im- 
mediate etlect  of  his  work  was  the 
general  recognition  of  international 
law  as  a  distinct  and  imm^rtant  brntieh 
of  knowledge,  and  his  chcta  became  at 
once  the  maxims  of  statesmen  mid  di- 
plomatists. "This  book,"  says  Mr* 
HaUam,  ^*  may  be  considered  as  nearly 
original  in  its  general  plan  and  form  as 
any  work  of  man  in  an  advanced  stage 
of  civilisation  and  learning  can  be.  It 
is  more  so,  perhap?,  than  those  of  Mon- 
tesquieu and  Smith." 

In  one  of  his  letters  written  in  Hi23, 
two  years  before  the  publication  of  his 
great  work,  Grotius  recommends  to  hia 
correspondent  the  study  of  "  interna- 
tional and  public  law,*'  and  points  out 
tJie  writers  who  up  to  that  time  had 
touched  upon  the  subject.  In  the  same 
letter  he  quotes  the  sentence  from 
Cicero's  Orat  ion  for  Balbus,  in  which  the 
orator  attributes  to  Fompey  *'  priesta- 
bilem  scientiam  in  federibusj  pactioni- 


bus,  conditionibus  populorum,  regum, 
cxterarum(j|ue  nationum,  in  omni  de- 
nique  belli  jure  ei  pacisJ'''  It  is  from  tbiH 
passage  that  Grotius  appears  to  have 
adopted  the  title  of  hia  treatise*  It  was 
a  title  well  calculuted  to  concentrate 
the  attention  of  the  civilized  world, 
harassed  as  it  then  was  by  a  lon^  war 
carried  on  with  unscrupulous  obstinacy 
and  lawless  rigour.  *^I  saw,"  snjrs 
Grotius,  in  his  Prolegomena,  *'  prevail- 
ing throughout  the  Christian  world,  a 
license  ot  warfare  of  which  even  bar- 
barous nations  might  be  ashamed ; 
recourse  had  to  arms  for  slight  reasons 
or  fur  noife  ;  and  when  arms  were  once 
taken  up,  no  reverence  was  letl  for 
divine  or  human  law,  as  though  by  one 
edict  the  passions  of  mankind  were  let 
loose  for  the  commission  of  every 
crime." 

This  special  reference  to  the  neces- 
sities of  the  age  may  perhnps  account 
for  Grotius*  arrangement  of  his  subject, 
with  which  Sir  Jftmes  Mackintosh  has 
found  fault.  Making  wai*  hie  central 
idea,  he  starts  in  his  First  Book,  atlera 
ihort  diicttssion  upon  the  origin  of  the 
notion  of  right,  with  the  question 
whether  war  is  ever  justifiable,  lie 
then  proceeds  to  distinguish  between 
public  and  private,  national  and  civil, 
wsirs  ;  and,  for  this  purpose,  he  has  to 
inquire  what  constitutes  sovereignty, 
and  to  define  the  relations  between 
governments  and  subjects.  In  the  same 
way  the  subject  of  his  Second  Book, 
the  lawful  causes  of  war,  leads  him  into 
the  discu,*ision  of  the  principles  of  pro- 
perty and  tlie  nature  of  punishments, 
as  well  as  the  rights  of  ambEBsadors 
and  the  obligations  of  treaties.  The 
Third  Bi^ok  relates  to  the  rights  of 
parties  engaged  in  war,  which  intro- 
duces, amongst  other  questions,  that  of 
slavery,  and  tlic  mode  of  concluding 
wars  by  treaties  and  conventions. 

It  i^  manifest,  even  in  this  short  ac' 
count  of  the  scheme  of  this  work,  that 
the  questions  which  belong  to  that 
whicii  has  been  calleil  national  juris- 
prudence, or  the  science  of  the  foun- 
dations of  laws,  are  treated  merely  as 
subsidiary  to  the  determination  of  the 
rights  of  war,  whereas  a  more  natural 
and  logical nrrangcment  might  demand, 
that  they  slujuld  be  the  subject  of  a 
separate  and  preliminary  discussion. 
Tne  latter  is  the  method  adopted  by 
Pufendorf ;  but  we  think  we  see  suf*

and  fpleiidonr  of  literature  liavc  a 
powerful  charm  for  jiie.  Tbey  fill  tlio 
mmrl  with  ail  eadloss  variety  of  de- 
lightful recollections  and  associations. 
'rhcy  relieve  tbo  underataoding  in  itd 
progress  through  a  vast  science,  by 
calling  up  the  memory  of  great  men 
and  of  interesting  events.  Even  virttie 
and  wisdom  theiuselvea  acquire  new 
majesty  in  my  eyes,  when  I  thus  see 
all  the  great  masters  of  thinking  and 
writing  called  together^  as  it  werct 
from  all  times  and  countries  to  do 
tKein  homage,  and  to  appear  in  their 
train/'* 

Bat  we  must  confess  that  this  species 
of  illustration  is  carried  to  an  excess* 
unsuitable  to  a  philosophic  and  argu- 
mentative treatise.  AYhere  a  jurist 
cites  passage  after  passage  from  Greek 
writers,  in  disapprobation  of  nlUances 
between  Greets  and  Barbarians,  in 
order  to  support  his  views  of  the  rela- 
tions of  Christian  with  infidel  powers, 
we  acknowledge  the  fitness  of  the  illus- 
tration, but  we  do  not  find  ourselves 
advanced  in  the  argument.  When  he 
appeals  to  Ovid*s  Art  of  Love,— 

Armique  in  annntoi  sum  ere  jura  linunt, — 

in  corroboration  of  the  justifiabkness 
of  war,  our  fancy  is  pleased  with  the 
associations  which  these  words  bring 
with  them,  but  our  reason  is  as  rauch^ 
and  no  more,  convinced  than  if  he  had 
written  the  single  word,  self-defence. 
It  is  just  to  observct  that  our  author 
has  anticipated  this  criticism  bj  the 
remark,  that  he  employs  thesenteivceji 
of  [)oets  and  orators  not  so  much  for 
authority,  as  for  oniament.  But  it 
cannot  be  denied  that  his  i pi ota lions 
are  drawn  up  in  numbers  and  array 
unsuitable  for  ornament,  and  that  tliey 
tend  in  some  ilegi*eo  to  distract  the 
attention  of  his  reader,  and  thus  lo 
weaken  the  force  of  the  reasonings 
which  thev  are  adduced  to  confirm. 

It  is  also  a  subject  of  regi-ct,  that 
Grotius  draws  his  examples  of  the  re- 
lations of  states  too  exclusively  from 
ancient  history,  lie  may  probably 
have  felt,  tliat  this  was  necessary  in 


order  to  secure  general  acceptance  for 
bis  theories.  An  exile  from  hfs  coun- 
try, he  was  dependent  for  his  safety 
on  the  favours  of  foreign  princes, 
whom  he  could  not  ofTend  without 
risk,  and  whom  he  would  not  stoop  to 
flatten  But  by  this  exclusive  use  of 
ancient  history  for  illustration,  he 
seems  to  be  led  sometimes  to  lay  down 
rules  applicable  rather  to  ancieot  than 
to  modern  society*  For  example,  he 
devotes  a  chapter  t  to  the  customary 
right  of  making  slaves  of  prisoners  of 
war,  and  only  at  the  end  of  it  remarks, 
that  it  has  been  established  as  a  rule 
among  Christian  nations  not  to  enslave 
their  captives,  His  long  chapter  on 
the  PostUmimnm^  or  reinstation  of  re- 
turned prisoners  in  their  old  liberties 
and  1  ights,  is  another  instance  to  the 
same  effect. 

To  our  taste  the  work  of  Grotiua  h 
far  more  attractive,  more  readable, 
thau  the  generality  of  books  upon  the 
same  and  similar  subjects.  His  lan- 
guage is  simple,  his  reasoning  intelii* 
fible  and  sound,  his  learning  universal, 
la  illustrations  only  too  copious,  and 
hia  philosophical  and  dialectic  system 
remarkably  free,  considering  the  time 
in  which  he  lived,  iVom  scholastic  pe- 
dantry and  verbal  subtleties. 

It  13  not  to  be  expected  that  the 
originator  of  a  new  science  should 
leave  no  imperfections  to  be  corrected 
by  bis  followers;  much  leas,  that  a 
writer  upon  political  or  moral  subjects 
should  meet  with  a  complete  acqui- 
escence in  the  minds  of  readers  two 
centuries  after  his  death.  Still,  in 
spite  of  all  deductions,  the  volume  of 
G  roil  us,  both  on  account  of  its  posi- 
tion in  the  history  of  the  science  of 
jurisprudence,  and  from  its  intrinsic 
autbonty  and  merit,  must  even  in  the 
present  day  command  the  attention  of 
all  who  interest  themselves  in  the  pro- 
blems of  national  law,  or  in  the  histoir 
of  the  Jiro^resd  of  thought.  The  edi- 
tion, wbich  the  Master  of  Trinity  has 
prepared  for  the  Cambridge  press, 
will  wc  think  be  found  of  use  to  the 
English  student*

finished cathedral  at  Cologne,  of  which 
Ho<xl  mys  so  finely^  that  it  looks  like 
.  ^  broken  proDaise  made  to  God.    Tra- 
ditiou  aajB   that   the  devil   drew  the 
.  plan  for  a  monk  who  cheated  the  de-

'  Satani  it  is  said,  bit  right  through  bis 
Bewlj- pain  ted  green  tail,  out  of  pure 
f  TexatJon,  and  that  he»  further,  not  only 
,  frightened  the  name  of  the  architect 
^  out  of  people's  memories,  but  that  he 
hm  ever  since  successfully  interfered 
r  to  oba tract    the   completion    of    the 
J  edifice*    In  proof  of  this>  the  prints  of 
^  his  claws  are  still  visible  on  a  stone 
.lying  near  the  western  door^  against 
which  he  is  said  to  have  dung  the  mis- 
sile, in  a  rage.     The  fire-bell  in   the 
belfry  has  a  horribly  discordant  sound, 
^  because  it  was  baptized  in  the  Evil 
'^|ie*s  name,  after  the  mould  had  twice 
Nsked  as  the  liquid  mettU  was  How* 
J  into  it  under  a  sacred  appellation. 
i'ortunateJy,  there  are  only  two  other 
places  on  the  Rhine  where  the  Father 
of  Lies  still  retains  occupation.     One 
is  at  Fahr,  where  he  has  a  "  DeviFs 
Houset"  in  which  he  may  be  seen  at 
night,   drinking    horribly    hot-spiced 
wine  with  a  long  since  deceased  Prince 
'  of  Neuwied.  The  exemplary  pair  often 
►  issue  forth  at  night,  afler  their  orgy  is 
over,  and  in   the  disguise  of  monkft 
make   convent   cloistei'S  hideous  with 
the  howling  of  their  gaiUard  songs,  or 
play  such  tricks  with  the  ferrymen  and 
•  their  boats  upon  the  river  that  when 
morning  dawns  there  is  no  man  at  hi.s 
right  station^  and  every  boat  is  drift- 
ing towarda  the  sea.     But  the  Devil  of 
the  Rhine  is  sometimes  of  a  better 
.  quality  than  is  here  implied.    The  per- 
I'  pendicular  staircase  in  the  rock  at  Loch 
was  cut  by  him  in  a  night,  expressly  to 
enable  a  knight  to  rescue  his  daughter 
from  the  lord  of  a  castle  in  his  eyrie 
above.     Cavalier  and  steed  trotted  up 
at  right  angles  to  the  surface ;  and  in 
proof  of  the  fact  the  people  show  you 
the  saddle ! 

The  legendary  Ritters  are  m  restless 
ttfl  the  traditionary  Satan.  At  Rheid, 
if  you  only  go  when  they  are  to  be 
aeen,  you  may  discern  a  Lo^it  of  thcin 
In  the  tournament  iiehl  there,  engagctl 
in  passages  of  arms,  charging  iiercely  at 
each  other,  and  galloping  about  *'  like

thai  no  sound  reaches  the  ear^  not  a 
Gsirr.  Maq,  Vol.  XLL 


hare-bell  bends  beneath  the  chargers' 
hoofs, — and  indeed,  if  nothing  be  heard 
or  felt,  the  legend  can  only  be  per- 
fected by  adding  that  thtre  is  quite  as 
little  to  be  seen.  But  do  not  attempt 
to  say  so  to  the  people  of  Loch. 

The  Drachenfels,  rock  of  the  dragon, 
intrtHluces  us  to  the  chivalrous  Sieg- 
fried, who  found  it  an  easier  task  to 
overcome  the  dragon,  that  carried  off 
maidens  by  night  and  breakfasted  off 
young  ladies  in  the  morning,  than  to 
subdue  the  truculent  queen  of  the 
Burgundians  to  the  reiisomible  will  of 
that  melancholy  man  her  husband.  Al- 
together yieglriedt  the  horned  knight, 
was  more  creditable  to  chivalry  than 
his  brother  Ritt4»r,  Graf  Hurnian.  He 
used  to  take  delight  in  riding  through 
his  tenants'  corn,  and,  if  any  of  these 
cgmplained)  he  took  the  funniest  ima* 
ginable  way  of  intimating  that  he  felt 
hurt  at  the  little  liberty  they  took 
with  him.  Li  fact^  he  had  the  olfeoder 
tied  to  the  antlers  of  a  wild  stagi  and 
hunted  to  death  by  hungry  dogs.  But 
there  it  a  Keinesis — and  Graf  Hurman 
is  now  nightly  chased  out  of  his  grave 
by  the  vengeful  spirits  of  his  tenants, 
in  the  form  of  hounds,  and  these  lead 
him  such  a  life  of  it  that  it  is  a  pity 
his  descendants  do  not  lay  out  a  few 
kreutzera  in  masses,  to  insure  his  repose- 

A  knight  of  another  clasa  and  repu- 
tation is  he  who  has  given  fame  to  the 
height  at  Roland*s  Eck.  There  still 
stands  the  window  whence  he  used  to 
watch  the  nun  he  loved,  in  the  island 
below;  from  which  he  beheld  her 
borne  to  the  grave,  and  at  which  he 
gently  died — the  spectacle  being  too 
much  for  the  nerves  of  a  man  who  had 
scattered  legions  of  jiaynim  Saracens 
by  the  might  of  his  smgle  arm. 

At  Dal  ten  berg  we  meet  with  another 
love-stricken  knight,  who,  after  dinner, 
made  a  promi^  of  marriage  to  a  dead 
lady  in  a  deserted  castle.  He  subae- 
quently  found  himself,  he  knew  not 
how,  in  a  ruined  chapel,  and  when  he 
beheld  his  cold  bride  with  him  at  the 
altar,  the  ghost  of  her  father  rising 
complaisantly  from  the  grave  to  give 
her  away,  and  a  bronze  bishop  begin- 
ning to  read  the  marringe-serviee  aloud, 
he  became  so  alarmed  that  he  had  but  just 
sufficient  strength  to  call  for  help  upon 
the  saints  above,  and  barely  suflieient 
power  of  vision  to  see  the  whole  party 
disappear  \n  sTvtip-ilx^^^^w  ^wsi^ii^t

The  legendary  monks  do  not  maka 
so  eoniiipicuous  a  figure  in  the  Rhine 
romances  us  the  legendary  ladies.  Their 
spirits  rather  linger  among  the  dista^nt 
and  inland  castles  and  convents  whlch» 
ia  the  olden  time,  were  renowned  for 
their  freedom  from  dangei^  aod  their 
abundance  of  good  cheer.  But,  how* 
ever*  the  river  legends  are  not  entirely 
silent  with  regard  to  the  sons  of  the 
church.  At  Ueistorbach,  the  last  Abbat 
of  the  community  still  wanders  about 
the  ruins  of  the  abbey^  looking  In  viiin 
fur  the  grave  which  Li  denied  to  his 
canonized  bones,  until  every  vestige  of

as  when  they  livetl,  and  who  look  so 
very  dry  and  dusty,  ai^e  accused  of 
being  rather  given  to  jollity  and  ilHcit 
sports  about  nddnigbt.  ^o  one  who 
has  socn  thein  would}  for  a  mouiet)t» 
suspect  them  of  levit_y.  Even  the  old 
doEid gardener,  with  his  withered  vrreath 
about  his  skull,  tlie  last  of  the  brother- 
hood there  laid  out  to  rest,  has  as 
severe  a  look  in  his  silent  solcjnuity  as 
any  of  his  more  reverend  brethren ; 
and  yet  is  it  said  of  hint  that  he  sits 
u|n  ight  on  his  stone  seat  at  nights,  nnd 
trolls  such  catches  and  tells  such 
stories,  and  is  so  comic  in  manner  as 
well  m  matter,  tl>at  the  dead  monks 
regularly  die  of  laughing, — ^until  tha 
descent  of  the  night -dew  awakens  them 
again  to  their  nightly  revel- 

What  a  far  more  respectable,  de* 
ceased,  churchman  is  the  defunct  and 
gigantic  monk  ofUheinbreitbach!  His 
name  is  Hammerling,  and  hh  olhce  is

Rliine  and  lUi  legends.  Who  would 
not  have  liked  to  have  bcloDged  to  the 
monaster/ at  Gunsdori;  that  used  to  be 
visited  every  nigbt  by  fairies  of  the 
moat  exquisite  bcAuty  und  the  lightest 
of  garments,  and  who  u»ed  to  keep  the 
reluctant  oM  gentlemen  up  and  feast- 
ing till  cock-crow  ?  Another  fairy  took 
the  form  and  name  of  the  Wondrous 
Harp  of  Luladorf,  in  the  vicinity  of 
which  ahe  waa  to  be  heard  discussing 
such  music  as  might  melt  the  soul. 
There  were  other  fays  whose  homea 
were  beneath  the  waters,  and  who  were 
Yery  much  given  to  entice  young 
koighta  into  the  f^treaui,  and  ^et  up 
uafieised  hou^^ebolds  with  them  in 
bowers  below  the  cryittHl  wavea.  The 
Liirley  Berg  i^  a  height,  the  home* 
place  of  a  million  echoes.  In  the  vici- 
nity once  dwelt  a  lunid  who  was  so 
exqulftttely  beauliful  that  she  turned 

I  mad  all  who  looked  upon  her,  and  de* 
[•pairing  busbaods  of  the  gravest  cast 
[.eommitted  suicide  after  beholding  her. 

The  fatal  siren  was  thereupon  tried  for 
maiufold  murder  and  witchcrafl,  but 
the  urchiepiscopal  judge,  the  lawyers, 
the  witnesseSf  and  the  spectators  fell 
so  deeply  in  love  with  her,  that,  like 
'  the  tribunal  that  absolved Fhryne  when 
the  nymph  was  unveiled  before  it,  the 

.  court  acquitted  the  accused  by  accla- 
mation. Lurley  still  survives,  in  le- 
fend  at  least;  and  no  pilot  who  steers 
is  bark  round  the  headland  called  by 

,  her  name  is  safe  from   being  swept 

II  overboard,  if  be  raises  his  eves  as  his 
^aan  recognise  the  sound  of  her  harp, 

ftnd  beholds  her  sitting  In  seductive 
I  beauty f  singing  him  invitations  to  laud. 
There  is  no  more  dangerous  place  upon 
,  the  river — save,  indeed,  in  the  Wlusi)er 
Dell  at  Loreh,  which  is  noted  for  its 
perib  to  youths  of  tender  hearts  from 
'the  tongues  of  sweet-volccd  ladies.    It 
*wa8  at  Lorch  that  the  first  red  wine 
was  made,  and  the  iulluence  of  the 
\  grape  is  said  to  be  strong  on  the  lips 
I  of  either  spirit  or  mortal  who,  having 
drunk  of  the  eloquent  juice,  is  led  by 
" '  t  destiny  to  the  fatal  Valley  of  Whis- 
Ko  doubt.    It  muii t  be  confessed 
i  generous  wine,  n  fair  face,  and  a 
I  pleasant  vale^  form  a  combination  of 
charms  very  suitable  to  put  a  man,  as 
Mr.  Lumpkin  says,  ^*  in  a  concatena- 
tion accordingly/ 

The  male  followers  of  Oberon  are, 
as  might  be  expected,  mther  rougher 


in  their  moods  than  the  ladies  who  wait 
upon  Titania.  Their  duties,  too,  are 
sometimes  droll,  but  without  signifi- 
cance. There  is  one  whose  mission  it 
is  to  go  in  quest  of  young  ladies  and 
old  nurses ;  ond,  when  these  have  per- 
formed the  oflices  required  at  their 
hands,  they  are  straightway  deprived 
of  their  souls,  which  nre  fastened  down 
for  ever,  in  duly  ticketed  pipkins  I 
There  are  water- wolfs  and  bottle- imps, 
and  there  are  the  jol!y  elf  fraternity  at 
EbrentbaJ,  whose  sole  business  it  is, 
like  Chaucer's  friends,  to 

hold  their  hippes  and  loffe. 

Werlau  is  the  residence  of  the  gnome 
king  uf  shadows.  In  the  valley  is  hut 
dwelling-place,  and  it  is  said  that  when 
two  young  persons  of  the  locality  be- 
come attacned  to  each  other,  there 
spring  up  in  the  valley  two  flowers, 
called  "  soul- flowers."  These  tlowers 
may  be  made  an  unerring  test  of  the 
affection  that  inspires  the  enamoured 
pair,  by  applying  them  to  the  heart. 
If  the  love  be  true  and  atedfast,  the 
flower  is  instantly  reduced  to  ashes  I 

Stedfost  heart  o*er  Cupid's  flower 

Hath  such  farce  and  hleaeed  power  I 

With  us,  iu  the  olden  time  of  En^bnd, 
our  romantic  youth  employed  the 
ranuiiculia  bulboms  as  a  test  of  strength 
of  affection.  In  thote  davs,  a  swain 
was  wont  to  stu0*  hb  pocseta  full  of 
*' bachelor's  buttons,'*  and,  as  they  flou- 
rished or  withered,  so  did  he  judge  of 
his  latly's  love.  Thus  mine  Ilost,  in 
the  Merry  Wives  of  Windsor,  says  of 
Fentou*s  love  for  sweet  Anne  r^sge, 
^'  He  writes  verses ;  he  speaks  holyday ; 
he  smells  April  and  May ;  he  will  carry 
^t  \  he  will  carry  *t  f  *tis  in  his  buttons ; 
he  will  carry  't ! "

so)  the  quality  of  the  rest.  I  will, 
therefore,  conclude  with  an  incident 
that  belongs  rather  to  history  than

EARLY  FEMALE  ASCETICISM— PAULA  AND  EUSTOCHIVM, 


THE  tender  admiration  with  whieb 
females  regard  their  spiritual  directors!, 
Li  a  subject  whicli  in  all  agea  lias 
aroused  the  mirth  of  thoao  who  ^sit  in 
the  scat  of  the  Bcorner— a  mirth  which 
we  confess  finds  no  response  in  our  own 
boBoms.  The  factj  indeed^  that  women 
are,  from  their  organization,  more  aus- 
ceptible  of  religious  inipredsions  than 
the  coaraer  sex,  is  one  which  no  nsycho- 
logibt  will  hesitate  to  acknowledge,  and 
thia  being  admitted^  it  cannot  very 
much  excite  our  surprise  that  the 
preachers  and  teachers  of  religion 
ihould  obtain  a  large  share  in  the  vene- 
ration awakened  by  the  doctrines  they 
impart. 

One  of  the  most  remarkable  instances 
of  these  spiritual  liaisons  that  we  find 
recorded  in  the  piige*  of  history,  is  that 
which  existed  between  St.  Jerome  and 
the  devout  coterie  by  which  he  was 
surrounded.  To  bis  works  wc  are  al- 
ready indebted  ;*  and  we  design  now  to 
borrow  from  them  some  of  the  epitaphs 
by  whieh  he  rewarded  tbe  most  emi- 
nent of  bis  female  followers  for  their 
enthusiastic  respect  for  bis  person,  and 
diligent  observance  of  his  tenets.  We 
must  here,  however,  warn  the  reader 
that,  by  eptlaphs,  he  ta  not  to  imder- 
stand  those  brief  inscriptions  on  the 
tomb  which  are  signlfieil  by  that  term 
in  modern  times  :  thej<e  epitaphs  were 
epiitles  addressed  to  «ome  mourning 
relative  or  friend,  whicb,  while  tbey 
give  a  short  history  of  tbe  deceased, 
and  eulogise  her  virlucst,  not  only  urge 
the  survivor  to  emulate  ibe  bright  ex- 
amplot  but,  in  isouig  instances,  combine 
a  gentle  chai)tie«mfiat  with  the  exhor* 


tat  ion  which  the  subject  naturally  givef  | 
rise  to. 

In  entering  upon  this  task,  it  is  with 
pleaisure  that  we  leave  below  us  the 
mistd  of  fiction,  and  ascend  to  the  purer 
atmosphere  of  historical  truth.  Here 
we  find  no  idle  tales  of  wild  beasts  con- 
tradicting their  nature  ^  but  we  have 
revealed  to  us  conllicts  between  pas- 
sion and  principle  that  really  occurred, 
nnd  sorrows  whieh  the  heart  only  too 
well  knew.  Perhaps,  indeed,  the  par- 
tiality of  the  Director  for  bis  disciples, 
and  the  friend  for  hit^  friends,  has  led 
the  Saint  to  touch  somewhat  too  lightly 
on  the  follicBi  and  weaknesses  of  these 
devout  Ifldies,  and  to  paint  in  colours 
too  vivid  their  constancy  and  virtue. 
Perhaps,  too,  not  unfrequently  when 
their  biographer  sees  their  highest 
triumph,  the  Protestant  render  will, 
according  to  bis  mood,  find  occasion 
for  the  sigh  of  compassion,  or  the  smile 
of  contempt :  but,  notwithstanding  this, 
we  have  no  reason  to  doubt  that  in 
these  epitaphs  we  have  before  us  a  por- 
traiture, on  the  whole  not  unfiiithful, 
of  the  lives  nnd  conversation  of  several 
Christian  (a dies  of  rank  in  the  second 
half  of  the  fourth  century. 

The  name  which  first  strikes  the  eye 
in  the  long  catalogue  of  female  excel- 
lence, ie  that  of  the  widow  Paula,  Her 
biographer^s  admiration  for  this  lady 
was  such  as  to  induce  him  to  sound 
her  praises  in  language  of  hyperbole, 
which,  almost  overstepping  even  poeti- 
cal licence,  is  altogether  unsuited  to 
the  stricter  decorum  of  the  historical 
muse.  "  Were  all  my  members,"  cries

was  by  no  means  one  of  light  or  trivial 
sacriftce.  The  easy  indolence  of  mo- 
dern devotion  would  shrink  appalled 
Irom  tlie  labours  and  sufferings  which 
these  pious  women  imposed  on  them- 
selves. With  practiceB  of  self-denial 
the  most  abhorrent  to  our  nature,  they 
combined  a  depth  of  learning  which 
posterity  will  be  content  to  ftdmire^ 
without  attempting  to  emulate,  Not 
only  did  their  eager  spirit  of  in(|uiry 
penetrate  the  most  abstruse  mysteries 
of  theologv,  but  the  difficulties  pre- 
sented by  tte  study  of  lan^ages  formed 
no  barrier  to  their  active  research* 
The  Hebrew  tongue  is  known  to  pre- 
sent the.«e  to  the  learner  in  a  remark- 
able degree.  In  earlier  times,  indeed^ 
Ongen,  whose  unwearied  application 
gained  lihn  the  surnames  of  the  Ada- 
mantine and  Brazen-bowels,  had  more 
than  once  thrown  aside  his  books  hi 
despair ;  and*  subse<|uently,  the  acute 
and  learned  Jerome  found  the  trial  al- 
most too  great  even  for  his  [K?rsevenince. 
Whore,  however,  these  ripe  and  able 
scholars  encountered  stumbling-blocks, 
the  new  devotees  found  only  such  ob- 
stacles as  enhanced  the  pleasure  of 
success.  A  mere  enumeration  of  the 
titles  of  Jerome's  letters  to  Ma  re  el  la 
would  exhibit  the  variety  of  subjects 
which  occupied  the  minds  of  the  re- 
cluses, and  wouldj  we  think,  make 
modern  ascetics  hide  their  heads  iti

humble  acknowlodgraent  of  tLeir  ow&

following :— The  Ten  Hebrew  Names 
of  the  DeitjT,  Certain  Hebrew  Worda, 
The  Word  DiApsalmft,  The  Epho<i  and 
Teraphim,  The  Commentaries  of  lUie-

Heretics,  and  The  Hebrew  Alphabet ; 
with  whichf  though  more  remnin  be- 
hind, we  close  the  appalling  cata- 
lo^jue. 

The  strictest  life,  however,  will  have 
its  momenta  of  rehixatioD,  the  austereft 
persons  their  outbreaks  of  gaiety ;  and 
so  it  was  with  the  Roman  recluses. 
One  of  those  melancholy  attempts  at 
mirth  we  shall  give,  not  us  being  ex- 
cellent in  its  kind,  but  as  the  bnefest 
we  can  select.  It  mui^t  be  premised 
that  Marcella  and  her  friends  have 
sent  some  presents  to  Paula  and  Eu- 
stochium,  and  that  the  latter,  in  acknow- 
ledging the  receipt  of  the  gilts,  arc 
supposed  to  have  called  to  their  aid  the 
more  practised  pen  of  their  director. 
The  letter  runs  as  follows  • — 

Paala  and  EuBtochium  to  Marcella  and 

the  ladies  of  her  Society. 

Our  per^oua  being  separated,  our  sole 

eoniolation  is  in  the  intcrcotirte  of  the

boand  to  prove  that  some  injrsteries  are 
latent  in  your  glfli.  The  sackcloth  8%. 
nifies  fasting  and  prayer,  while  the  chaird 
remintl  us  that  nuni^  out  of  doori  are  out

our  lights  burning,  and  so  await  the  coming

gaotlj  tntiinstes  that  we  should  lose  no 
time  in  ex tingni tilling  the  lui^ts  of  the  fle^h ; 
for  flies  perish  in  an  hour,  and  dry  up  the 
oil  of  swei*tnes3.  Let  thl^i  be  a  model  for 
virgins — this  an  example  for  matrons.  Us, 
however^  your  gifts  salt  only  too  well, 
though  in  another  and  warfi«  sense.  We 
are  idle,  so  have  use  for  your  choirs ;  we 
are  penitents,  so  need  your  sackcloth  ;  we 
driak  wine,  so  require  your  cups.  Again,

kept  always  alarnicnl  hy  thv;  eonsciouitnens 
of  guilt,  make  your  candles  when  lighted

In  such  innocent  occupations  passed 
monotonously,  but  not  tediousljr,  the 


hours  of  the  asceticf*    But,  in  a  cltT 
like  Home,  innocence  and  pieij  formed  . 

no  protection  against  the  envenomed  I 
tooth  of  malice*    There^  as  Jeromai 
with  some  bitterness  remarks,  people  1 
deemed  it  the  highest  triumph  to  dente  j 
what  was  pure,  and  bring   down  the  1 
reputation  of  others  to  the   level  of  ] 
their  own.     The   Roman   clergy  had 
long  repined  at  Jerome's  brilliant  sue-' 
CQsa,  and  now  found  a  ready  instru- 
ment of  their  malice  in  a  worthiest  , 
wretch^  who  ventured  obscurely  to  in»  I 
timaio  that  he  had  been  witness  of  i 
some  unseemly  conduct  on  the  part  of  ] 
Jerome  and  the  saintly  Paula.    A  ju« 
dicial  investi^tton  ensued,  the  exact 
nature  of  which  we  know  not;  but  tlio  \ 
man,  being  put  to  the  torture,  retracted 
his  previous  statement.    The  historian 
of  the  Decline  and  Fall  of  the  Horn  ait 
Empire  expresses  himself  satisfied  of  I 
the  innocence  of  the  lady  and  her  di- 
rector; and  the  evidence  which  in  such 
u  case  is  suflicient  for  hiui^  will  easily  \ 
find  acceptance  with  others.  I 

Though  acquitted  of  this  charge,  the  | 
public  voice  Drought  another  against 
the  preacher  of  asceticism,  from  whicJi  | 
he  cou!d  not  so  easily  clear  himaelfi  j 
It  was  urged  that  from  him  his  prose-  !

useless  practices  of  superfluous  self-  '

The  hatred  of  the  rival  clergy  might 
be  endured,  but  the  animosity  of  the 
populace  made  Jcrome'it   position   so 
painfulf  that  be  detenu ined  on  quitting 
the  city,  aud  seeking  in  the  holy  regions 
of  Palestine  a  refuge  from  the  angry 
jjassions  of  men.     The  natural  affec- 
^tions — lively  as  they  were  in  the  breast 
f  Paula — ^gave  way  to  her  desire  of 
eli^ion^  perfection^  and  her  veneration 
br  ner  spiritual  g^ide.     Leaving  her 
Itwo  youngest  children  to  the  care  of 
I  their   relations,    she    embarked  with 
lEustochium  and  some  female  attend- 
jtoU  on  board  the  vessel  which,  in  the 
lAugust  of  the  year  375,  bore  Jerome 
Ifrom  the  shores  of  Italy.     Wc  are  told 
that,  while  the  gaze  of  the  other  pas- 
jlten|5ers  wsa  bent  on  the  shores  from 
^hich  they  were  fast  receding,  Paulo, 
~I8  a  final  triumph  of  resignation  and 
elf-sacrifice,   kept  her  eyes  averted 
rom  the  strand,  on  which  her  young 
[children  stood  weeping,  :nid  pitifully 
nploring  her  return. 
Arrived  in  Syrifl,  the  pilgrims  under 
Ithe  guitlance  of  Jerome  visited  all  the 
Ifpots  in  the  Holy  Land  which  the  Old 
|%nd  New  Testament  have  consecrated 
flo  mem ory .     We,  sh a  1 1  n o t  fol low  them 
siosely  in  their  route.     The  s<*enes  of 
Ithe  Birth  and  Passion  nf  our  Suvlour 
hatarally  excited    in   Paula's   ardent 
mind  the  tendcrest  emotion,     lu  the 
Church  of  the  Holy   Sepulchre,  her 
pious  transports  were  such  th:itshenot 
only  kisse<l  the  stone  which,  if  we  mny 
tru*it  tradition,  the  angel  rolled  away 
from   the   mouth   of    the    tomb,   but 
actuMlly  licked  llie  site  on  which  our 
Lord's  body  is  said  (o   have  reposed. 
In  the  Cave  of  Rethleheni,    the   en- 
thusiastic matron  fell  into  n  trance  in 
which    were   revealed    to  her  waking 
evi's  the  early  incirlenta  of  the  gospel-

wander«*d  over  Palestine,  the  travellers 
made   their  way  to  the  realm   of  the 
Pharaohs,  and  visited  the  cells  of  Nitrin, 
where,  a*^    the  Saint   ptiiys   upon   the 
word,  the  tilth  of  the  sin«  of  many  was 
daily  washed  away  by  the  pure  nitre  of 
virtue.    The  courteous  reception  of  the 
lady  and  her  retinue  by  Isidore  Bishop

and  Confessor  and  olber  pillars  of  the 
Church  almost  determined  her  to  end 
her  days  in  that  **  town  of  the  Lonl  C' 
but  the  fmick  eye  of  her  Director  dis- 
cemed  that  even  in  that  peucelul  re- 
tirement "vipers"  lay  hidden,  by 
which  we  are  to  undci'stand  that  some 
of  the  Solitaries  were  infected  with  the 
errors  of  Origen.  This  discovery  of 
Jerome's  and  her  own  longing  for  the 
scenes  of  the  Gospel-narrative  induced 
the  widow  to  adhere  to  her  original 
deaign,  and,  returning  by  sea  to  Pa- 
lestine, she  fijced  her  abode  at  Beth- 
lehem, where,  as  we  have  before  had 
occastou  to  mention,  in  the  course  of 
the  three  following  years,  she  built  four 
monasteries,  three  for  nuns,  which  she 
directed  herself,  and  one  for  mtmks, 
which  she  entrusted  to  the  conduct  of 
Jerome;  and,  not  satisfied  with  this,  on 
that  very  spot  where  four  hundred 
years  before  Joseph  and  Mary  had  in 
vain  sought  for  shelter,  she  erected  a 
hospice  or  lodging-house  for  the  re- 
ception of  wayworn  pilgrims.  Though 
herself  Superior  of  these  houses,  she 
aud  her  daughter  did  not  shrink  fruui 
performing  with  their  own  hands  the 
very  lowest  menial  oiEces  which  their 
management  rei|uircd.  They  who  bad 
once  shuddered  at  the  filth  and  in- 
equalities of  the  public  streets,  and  had 
been  bozne aloft  m  luxurious  indolence 
on  the  shoulders  of  eunuchs — who  had 
found  their  silken  robes  almost  too 
great  a  burden  for  their  delicate  frames, 
might  now  be  seen  trimming  the  lamp, 
kindling  the  fire,  shelling  legumes, 
boiling  j>otherbs,  and  spreading  the 
board  with  their  scanty  meal. 

Zeal  like  this  will  ever  lind  cavillers. 
A  whisjierer — one  of  a  most  pernicious 
class  of  men,  as  the  Saint  justly  ob- 
serves— intimated  to  the  enthusiast  that 
the  public  voice  proclaimed  her  to  be 
a  madwoman.  The  lady,  however,  was 
not  for  a  moment  at  a  loss  for  an 
answer.  "  VVe  are  fools  for  Christ's 
sake,"  returned  she,  "  and  the  wisdom 
of  God  is  the  foolishness  of  men.*' 

The  rules  which  she  laid  down  for 
the  management  of  her  nunneries  afford 
a  stinking  instance  of  the  singular  prac- 
tical ability  which  we  find  not  unfre- 
f|uently  combined  with  extraordinary 
religious  zeal ;  but  this  subject  we  must 
pass  over,  contenting  ourselves  with 
remarking  that  to  govern  by  example

The  heresy  of  Origen  h»*id  now  for

Churches ;  and  it  was  not  to  be  sup- 
posed that  the  leaders  of  timt  sect 
would  leave  unattempteil  a  con(|UiJiit 
^  important  ns  Paula.  An  Origenist 
endeavoured  to  perplex  the  mind  of 
the  widow  with  some  of  thoae  questions 
which  occupied  in  the  middle  ages  the

and  which  Charles  Lamb  ha'^  happily 
termed  the  **  rottcnojit  part  of  the  core

decorum are  such  that  there  are  unly 
two  of  the  number  which  we  can  cite 
with  a  clear  conscience,  the  one  being, 
*^  What  ^in  has  an  infant  committed 
that  it  should  beposficssed  by  ademon?" 
and  the  other,  "  In  the  resurrection

to  be  established  vras,  that  creatures 
endowed  with  reason  had  been  guilty 
of  sin  in  a  stuie  of  pre-exLstence>,  and 
so  had  been  coudemnetl  to  imprison-

tude of  the  odencej*  tbey^had  committed

ferred these  hard  questions  to  her

countor  the  **  pestilent  viper  and  deadly

terms  him ;  and  his  triumphant  rcfti'  I 
tat  I  on  of  the  ti  nibbles  of  the  OrigenisI ' 
quickly  brought  satisfaction  to  himaeli^ 
and  serenity  to  the  mind  of  his  disciple. 
In  the  meanwhile,  the  narroir  cell 
of  the  recluse  could  not  entirely  shui 
out  the  alternate  joys  and  sorrowi 
which  fall  to  Ibe  lot  ot  those  who  take 
upon  themselves  the  cares  and  dutieg 
ot  maternity.  In  the  year  397  died 
Paula's  second  daughter  Paulina,  wife 
of  that  Pammacbius  who  in  early  lite 
had  been  Jerome's  fellow  "Student  al  i 
Tieves  ;  but  this  loss  was  perhape 
more  than  compensated  to  ttie  for* 
rowing  relatives  oy  the  widower's  em* 
bracing  the  monastic  profession.  The 
domestic  circumstances  of  Toxotiuii 
on  the  con trnry, brought  unmixed  plea- 
sure to  the  heart  of  his  mother.  In 
the  pride  and  thoughtlessness  of  youtli 
he  had  irreverently  scoffed  at  the  saintlj 
Jerome  as  a  fool  and  a  madman ;  but 
becoming  the  husband  of  L^ta,  who, 
though  dau<|hter  of  the  Heathen  Pontifil  ^ 
was  herseti  an  eminent  example  of  ; 
Christisin  piety,  a  salutary  change 
was  quickly  wrought  upon  his  waj» 
ward  spirit.  The  devout  Licla,  like  e 
second  Hannah,  had  dedicated  to  God, 
even  before  it.s  birth,  the  tirst  offspring 
of  the  marriage,  and  it  proving  to  b5 
a  girl,  she  gave  it  the  name  of  its 
ascetic  p"ftnaam.  The  joy  which  this 
event  dilliiscd  througlmut  the  Nun- 
neries of  Bethlehem  was  destined  soon 
to  receive  an  increase.  Jerome,  on 
hearing  of  the  child's  birth,  wrote  an 
epistle  to  its  mother,  giving  precepte 
for  its  instruction  in  morality  and  reti* 
gion  :  the  letter  concluding  with  the 
remark,  that  such  instruction  was  best 
to  be  found  iu  the  retirement  of  Beth» 
lehem ;  and  promising  that,  if  the  child 
were  sent  thither,  the  writer  would 
himself  act  as  its  governor  and  nurse 
— would  bear  it  on  his  aged  shoulders, 
and  teach  its  lisping  tongue  to  utter 
the  accents  of  praise ;  and  would  deem 
himself  made  more  glorious  by  such  a 
charge,  than  if,  like  Aristotle,  he  had 
the  future  JVIaster  of  the  World  en- 
trusted to  his  guidance.  Thus  sum- 
moned, the  fond  parents  did  not  hesitate 
to  expose  their  iirst-borti  to  the  perils 
of  the  ocean.  The  infant  arrived  at 
Bethlehem ;  and,  to  the  deliglit  of  the 
doting  Paula,  it  was  heard,  while  jet

Hallelujah— a  precocity  whicli  the  re- 
cluses around  were  disposed  to  ascribe 
to  miraculous  interposition. 

The  expenses  of  building  and  main- 
taininjr  four  monasteries  and  a  hospice 
were  heavy  enough  to  exhaust  even 
the  largo  property  of  the  heiress  of 
Agamemnon  and  the  Gracchi.  To  the

sorted^  drawn  thither  not  only  by  tlie 
detfire  of  viewing  the  holy  places  around, 
but  also  by  the  workl-wide  celebrity 
uf  the  foundress  j  and  the  burden  at 
length  become  so  great  that  Jerome  in 
the  year  397  sent  hi^  joung  brother, 
Paulinus,  to  their  birthplace  in  Pan- 
nonia,  with  instructions  to  make  some- 
thing, il'possiible,  of  the  ruined  farm- 
houses whichi  after  the  ravages  of  the 
Goths,  were  all  thai  remained  to  them 
of  their  paternal  property ;  at  the  same 
time,  ID  a  letter  to  rammachius^  he 
expresses  his  fears  that;  himself  aiul 
Faula  would  be  found  like  the  man  in 
the  gospel,  who  began  to  build  a  lower 
and  coutded  not  the  cost.  The  widow*s 
liberality  indeed  exceeded  all  reason* 
slble  bouudi,  for,  not  satisfied  with  ex- 
hausting her  own  resources,  she  bor- 
rowed Targe  sums  of  money,  with  no 
prospect  of  repaying  thera.  Her  more 
prudent  Director  reminded  her  that  our 
Saviour  enjoins  him  only  that  hath  two 
coai«  to  give  to  him  that  hath  none ; 
but  was  met  by  a  sophism,  which  does 
no  great  credit  to  the  judgment  of 
Paula.  "  If  I  ask  for  money/'  argued 
the  lady,  '*  there  are  many  who  will 
reftdily  lend  it  me :  but  for  this  beggar, 
unless  I  relieve  his  wants,  as  I  can  do 
by  borrowing  elsewhere,  he  will  per- 
haps die,  and  then  at  whose  hands  will 
his  soul  be  rei^uired  ?  "  The  result  of 
this  unfair  reasoniog  was,  that  fit  her 
decease  there  devolved  upon  Jerome 
and  Eustochiuni  the  burden  of  her 
debts,  and  the  charge  of  maintaining 
vast  crowds  of  pilgrims,  whoiUi  as  her 
biographer  remarks,  it  was  all  but  im* 
possible  to  support,  yet  impious  to  c«*Jt 


At  length,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord 
404,  and  in  the  55th  of  her  age,  Paula 
fell  into  a  languishing  disorder,  and 
tiefore  long  it  was  evident  that  her  last 
hour  was  approaching.  By  her  bed- 
side stood  Jerome  and  Eustochium, 
John  of  Jerusalem,  and  many  other 
bishops,  while  the  apartment  was 
crowded  with  presbyters  and  monks, 
mingled  with  the  nuns  of  the  con- 
vents she  had  founded.  Her  Direc- 
tor observing  that  for  some  time  she 
had  kin  silent,  thought  she  was  in 
pain,  and  asking  if  anything  ailed  her, 
received  for  answer  that  she  had  now 
nothing  to  trouble  her — every  thing 
seemed  (luiet  and  tranquil.  After  this 
she  kept  repeating  in  a  faint  voice  some 
verses  of  the  Psalms,  and  at  length, 
making  the  sign  of  the  cros^i,  breathed 
her  last  breath  in  sounding  the  praises 
of  the  Lord,  The  crowd  around  fol- 
lowed her  example,  and  at  the  solemn 
moment  of  her  dtjparture  broke  out 
into  no  idle  lamentations,  but  endea- 
voured to  console  their  grief  by  holy 
chaunts  and  hymns.  Bishops  bore  her 
body  to  the  tomb,  and  her  remains 
were  laid  in  the  Church  of  the  Cave  of 
the  Nativity,  where  the  wail  of  the 
mourners  in  the  Latin,  the  Greek,  and 
the  Syrian  tongues,  conlinued  during 
a  whole  week  without  ceasing. 

The  leai'ned  pen  of  Jerome  has  in- 
dited some  hexameter  lines  in  praise 
of  his  disciple,  which  were  inscribed  on 
her  torabi  and  of  which  we  will  only 
say  that  the  execution  is  altogether 
unequal  to  the  pious  afTection  that 
inspired  thein,  Li  better  taste  he  com- 
posed her  epitaph ^  being  an  enistle  to 
the  bereaved  Euiitochium,  which  was,  as 
he  tells  us,  dictated  to  an  amunuensis, 
for,  when  he  attempted  to  write,  hia  hand 
sank,  iin nerved  by  grief,  and  refused 
the  mournful  oflice.  To  that  record  it  is 
that  we  ure  indebted  for  the  preceding 
brief  detail  of  the  life  and  conversation 
of  the  ascetic  Paula,  in  which,  if  there 
is  much  we  may  blame  or  may  cavil 
gt,  there  is  assuredly  no  less  that  com- 
mands our  respect  and  admiration.

IN  our  last  number  we  devoted  a 
considerable  apace  to  the  notice  of  tUe 
edition  of  the  Septuao-int,  lately  pub- 
lished by  the  Christian  Knowledge 
Society  tor  the  benefit  of  the  Greek 
clergy*  We  m>w  propose  to  take  a 
more  summary  review  of  the  laat  edition 
of  the  LXX.  which  issued  from  the 
Oxford  Press.  We  fear  our  readers 
will  iind  it  even  more  exeepttonable 
and  blamewctrthy  than  that  of  the  So- 
ciety, It  is  not  pleasant  to  find  fault 
with  our  Alma  Mater^  for  whom  we 
entertain  sincere  love  and  profound 
veneratiotit  and  we  shall  forfeit  every 
claim  to  public  confidence,  unless  wc 
substantisite  the  charges  we  advance. 

It  should  be  premised,  that  when 
the  former  article  was  writleni  we  were 
not  in  possession  of  this  Oxford  edition 
of  the  LXX.  We  had  heard  that  it 
contained  the  spurious  parts  of  Esther, 
and  we  condemned  it  accordingly  on 
that  account.  But  it  was  not  till  aflter 
that  article  was  printed,  that  we  were 
enabled  to  appreciate  its  entire  eha- 
ractwr,  which  we  shall  now  endeavour 
to  place  before  our  readers. 

From  the  time  of  the  Reformation, 
there  have  been  two  distinct  orders  of 
armnginty  the  books  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment. The  one  is  the  ancient  order, 
which  dates  from  the  days  of  Origen 
and  Jerome,  and  which  intermixes  the 
apocryphal  with  the  canonical  books. 
It  is  not  pretended  that  this  is  critically 
correct,  or  that  this  order  existed  in 
the  days  of  Christ  and  fns  apostles.  It 
is  nnt  pretended  that  it  h  contL-mporary 
with  the  version  of  the  LXX.  or  that 
any  of  these  apocryphal  writings  were 
madei  or  introduced,  by  the  translators* 
Qnvin^  no  Hebraic  original}  they  can- 


not really  form  part  of  the  Septuagint. 
They  can  be  recjardcd  in  no  othcrlight  < 
thiin  as  ancient  Hellenistic  interpola- 
tions, by  unknown  writers. 

When  Luther  arose,  he  disclaimed 
these  intrusive  encroachments  on  the 
Word  of  God,  and  relegat^jd  the  apo- 
cryphal writings  to  a  separate  appendix. 
In  this  deed  of  separation  he  was  war-^- 
ranted  by  the  antbority  of  Origen  and 
Jerome,  who  had  denounced  them  a* 
extra -canonical,  and  branded  them 
as  having  no  cliiim  to  divine  inspira- 
tion. With  that  intuitive  decision 
which  characterised  the  leader  of  the 
Reformation,  lie  banished  them  from 
the  body  of  the  Bible,  to  follow  in 
its  train,  as  menials  and  attendants. 
His  entire  version  appeared  in  1.^30, 
but  previously  it  had  been  published 
in  parts.  This  is  apparent  from  the 
preface  to  the  first  edition  of  the  LXX. 
which  adopted  his  arrangement,  Ar- 
gent. 1526: — Ratio  Partitionis.  Pm 
inde  in  pfirlHwue  et  geine  roluminum 
seqmiti  mumis  M,  Lxdhemm^  unum  ilium

junximfLiy  ut  qui  volet  in  primim  libeUttm 
sepouere  qiteat. 

This  critically  correct  and  reformed 
order  was  immediately  followed  by  all 
the  vernacular  versions  amongst  the 
continental  Protestants,  and  was  alio 
more  gradually  introduced  into  their 
editions  of  the  LXX»    It  became  Uie

great  meridian  line  between  Uie  Pupal 
'and  Protestant  editions;  nor,  till  we 
j  reoentlj  became  possessed  of  the  edi* 
I  iions  at  the  head  of  this  article,  could 
I  Ve  have  doubted  that  it  was  likewise 
adopted  hy  the  Protestant  Uiiivei*flity 
of  Oxford.    What  then  was  onf  amaze- 
'  ment  and  diaappointraentH,  to  find  that 
the  Delegates  of  the  Clarendon  in  1848 
still  adhered  to  the  Septuagint  of  the 
,  M  style!    And  tin?;,  be  it  remembered, 
^  does    not    apply   to    some   scholastic 
J  edition,  like  that  of  Gmbe,  or  to  the 
yfactimile  editions  of  Kipling,  Woide, 
1  or  Baber,   but  to  the   ordiuarjr  nhck 
,  editions,  which   appear  from  tmie  to 
time  for  the  use  of  the  coontry  clergy, 
and  wliich  are  so  cheap,  that  even  the 
poorest  curate  may  afford  to  purchiwe. 
We  «ay,  this  is  a  deliberate  insult  to 
"our   Proteatant   canon,  and   a   direct 
violation  of  our  Sixth  Article.     It  ie 
also  an   offence  against  critical  pro- 
I  priety,  and  such  an  offence,  as  would 
I  Uot  be  tolerated  in  any  ordinary  edititm 
f4>f  a  profane  author.     Who  would  print 
"the  works  of  Cicero  or  Cajsar,  with  in- 
terpolations  which   Cicero   or   Cte^ar 
never  wrote,  nor  could  have  written  ? 
**  Luce  clariuM  e^/,"  says  Walton,  "  Hhrvs

^wermx  non  Juisst^  ciim  eorum  outdam 
Une  temporijs  non  ejstiterint^  sea  longo 
h>iit  tpnpore  scripti  .tm/." — But  the 
rquestinn  at  issue  relates  to  the  Word 
rof  GOD,   as  distinguished   from   the 
iword  of  man.     How  painful  to  every 
[flerious  and  devotional  student,  to  lind 
^ehemiah  followed  by  To  bit  and  his 
iog ;  to  find  the  apocryphal  Wisdom 
[of  Solomon,  and  Siracb,  preceding  the

I  to   find  Judith  before  the  Psalms  of 
Pl)ftvid,   and   the   spurious   Epistle   of 
^Jeremiah  introducing  us  to  the  Visions 
of  Ezekiell     What   a   Babel  is  here 
■placed  before  our  eyes !     Can  the  mis- 
i takes  of  copyists,  or  the  confusion  of 
fWSS.  or  the  traditions  of  anti«iuity, 
fbe  pleaded   as   any  apology  for   this 
[  bflensive  spectacle  r 

From  the  order,  or  rather  disorder, 
the  Books,  we  advert  to  the  far 
important  subject  of  the  text. 
>teU,thetextoftheLXX.hi*3 
en  critically  revised  amongst 
r  any  collation  of  MSS.  Some  one 
— the  Vatican,  or  the  Alexandrian* 
littfl  been  doggedly  followed;  large 
hatn^.  which  could  have  been  ea«llv 


supplied}  have  been  left  unrcplenished ; 
manifest  bluuderd  and  falsities  have 
been  retained  in  the  text;  numerous 
dislocations  have  been  left  unrectified: 
nay,  even  the  coiimioo  rules  of  itnth- 
metic  have  been  frequently  set  at 
nought,  in  the  natursd  sequence  of 
chapter  and  verse. 

We  shall  now  endeavour  to  justify 
these  charges,  by  some  few  illustrations 
and  examples, — premising,  that  they 
arc  only  n  few  out  of  many,  rari  nantea 
in  gurgiie  vastu.  It  would  tire  the  pen 
of*  the  writer,  and  the  eye  of  the  reader, 
if  we  attempted  to  exhibit  them  in 
extemo. 

When  we  affirm  that  the  text  of  the 
LXX.  has  not  been  formed  by  a  col- 
lation of  MSS.  the  assertion  must  be 
understood  with  some  limitations.  The 
Vatican  MS.  or,  to  ^peak  more  cor- 
rectly, the  Six  tine  or  Roman  Exem- 
plar of  the  ^'atican,  is  compelled  to 
borrow  the  first  forty -seven  chapters 
of  Genesis,  chielly  from  the  Compluten- 
sian  text.  It  is  also  compelled  to  adopt 
that  text,  in  several  of  the  last  chapters 
of  the  third  bcK>k  of  Kings,  and  from 
the  105  th  to  the  lawth  Psalm.  With- 
out such  insertions  of  the  Complut^n- 
sian,  the  Vatican  would  have  exhibited 
lis  own  tremendous  vacuities.  But 
we  mean,  that  the  text  has  never  been 
recti  tied  and  adjusted  by  any  joint 
collation  of  MSS»  Bimilar  to  that  which 
Mill  and  Griesbach  have  employed 
on  the  New  Testament.  We  submit, 
that  the  duty  of  collation  is  precisely 
parallel  in  both  case^,  but  that  it  has 
never  yet  been  practically  extended 
to  the  LXX.  Take  e.  g.  the  spurious 
verse  introduced  into  the  Vatican, 
Dcut.  xxvii.  23,  which  interdicts — a 
question  now  bo  much  agitated — the 
marriage  of  the  deceased  wife's  sister. 
It  is  left  in  the  Oxford  edition  just  as 
if  it  had  a  right  to  be  there,  whereas 
it  ou{;ht  either  to  have  been  totally 
expunged,  or  at  least  Htigmati&ed  with 
obdi.  So  in  Ps,  xiii.  3,  an  interpo- 
lation from  Horn,  uu  13  continues  to 
astonish  and  confound  the  collator  of 
the  Hebrew.  Even  the  mass  of  apo- 
cryphal prayers  and  hymns— not  ior- 
gctting  Upaatv^Tj  Maptat  rijy  OconiiKOu^- 
is  scrupulously  exhibited  at  p.  P259  of 
thia  etfition.  Perhaps  this  may  pass 
with  the  Delegates,  as  collation  ;  at 
any  rate,  it  ranks  as  PtMor  Varietas  Co^ 
flieis  Alexandrini, — Surely  the  editors 


The  0.rfcrd  Ediiion  of  the  Sepimgmt.  [March, 

of  the  Vulgate.  It  is  also  given  in  Bo§, 
but  never  in  the  edit.  1848.— Even  tlie 
tflble  fur  rectifying  the  dislocated 
chapters  in  Jeremiah  is  omitted. 

It  ijr  our  full  belief  Miat  Bishop 
Pearson,  who  was  deeply  conversant 
with  the  LXX.  appreciated  this  diffi- 
culty, and  applied  his  learning  and 
talents  to  provide  the  remedy.  When

thi3  time,  1G53,  that  a  handsome  edi- 
tion of  the  Septuagiiit  appeared  from 
the  press  of  Roger  Daniel.  It  was, 
Htrange  to  say,  the  first  which  bud 
appeared  in  England.  It  was  the 
Edith  Pf-inceps  Anglicana.  It  adopted 
the  Keformed  order  of  the  hooks,  like 
that  of  the  foreign  Protestant  editiona 
of  tlie  LXX.  and  like  our  English 
Bible.  It  was  in  harmony  with  our 
biblical  canon,  aa  laid  down  in  the 
gjxtli  Article.  It  ignored  the  old  Ito- 
miah  order,  and  threw  the  apocryphal 
books  into  appendix.  It  omitted  the 
apocryphal  parts  of  Esther.  It  purified 
Daniel  from  Susanna  and  Be! ;  in  short, 
to  a  gi*eat  extent,  it  harmonized  the 
order  of  the  books  and  chapters  ac* 
cording  to  the  original  We  *ay,  to  a 
great  extcnti  for  it  left  much  to  carry 
out  it^  plan.  The  transpositions  of 
Jeremiafi  were  not  rectified.  In  th(5 
Third  Book  of  Kings,  large  portions 
remained  uncorrected  (these  are  easllj 
distinguished  by  the  absence  of  sticho- 
mctry)*  butmust^  if  not  all»  are  noticed 
and  corrected  in  the  Scholia,  The 
object  and  design  of  the  Scholia  iiro 
pluinly  intimated  in  the  concluding  ob* 
scrvfttions : — In  Notatwiihus  citatur  tw-

more  plainly  repeated  in  a  short  address 
"  To  the  Render,*'  (  LectoHJ  in  which

then  under  the  care  of  Busby,  the 
intimate  friend  of  Pearson. — ^Tow,  it 
is  plaioi  t!uit  such  a  plan  required 
the  hand  of  a  master.  It  was  na

or  execute,  this  renovation  of  the  text 
of  the  LXX.    In  short,  no  ane  then

would  have  ajctedfar  more  wisely,  had 
tuch  extraneous  matter  been  altogether 
omitted. 

If,  instead  of  placing  all  tfiis  muss 
of  error  and  confusion  befure  the 
reader,  sometimes  in  the  text,  at  others 
In  the  notes,  a  faithful  mid  critical  in- 
vestigation of  the  text  had  been  adopted, 
un  the  plan  of  Griesbach*s  edition  of 
the  New  Testaoient,  we  should  enjoy 
Bome  prospect  of  ultimately  obtaining 
the  natural  concord  between  the  ver- 
sion and  the  original.  The  general 
rule  to  be  observed  would  have  been 
to  prefer,  cteteris  paribus^  tlie  reading 
which  answered  best  with  the  Hebrew, 
and  which  thus  rendered  the  version  its 
fiiitliful  represcntati  vc-  By  this  method, 
the  numerous  MSS.  collated  by  Holmes 
and  Parsons  miglit  have  been  brought 
to  shed  lut<tro  and  improvement  on 
the  text.  It  would  have  been  a  work 
of  much  skill  and  labour,  of  profound 
Iciirhing,  and  of  great  critical  sagacity  ; 
but  the  object  would  have  justified  the 
dedication  of  the  highest  talent.  It  is 
just  that  species  of  labour  and  talent 
which  may  be  demanded  from  well- 
endowed  professors  of  Greek,  Hebrew, 
and  Divinity,  at  our  universities. 

But  even  supposing  this  demand  to 
be  too  high,  as  requiring  snme  Pear- 
ion's  extraordinary  conjunction  of  7-eal 
and  learning  to  tulfil  the  taiik,  yet 
iurely  we  might  reiisonablv  look  for 
an  impioverl  edition  of  the  LXX., 
from  a  collation  of  the  Complutensian, 
Vatican,  and  Alexandrian  texts.  It  in 
fortunate,  we  had  almost  said  provi- 
dential, that  whatever  is  false  or  defec- 
tive in  the  one,  may  be  easily  rectified 
by  thu  other.  But  this  result  can  never 
be  obtained  by  merely  placing  them 
in  juxtaposition.  It  is  oy  the  substitu* 
tiun  of  one  tor  the  other,  that  the  only 
practical  improvements  can  be  made 
in  the  text.  All  else  terminates  in 
darkness  and  confusion.  Let  u  man 
sit  down  to  study  the  Septuagint  in 
the   edition   of  Ilolmes  and   Parsons, 

«he  Will  soon  feel  the  truth  of  this 
riion.  The  same  effect,  on  a  smaller 
sCAle,  results  from  the  study  of  thu  last 
Oxford  Septuagint,  The  student  has 
no  critical  guide  to  aiil  and  direct  him 
in  the  choice  of  lections.  Nor  ha*  he 
any  friendly  hint,  as  Morinus  oflen 
supplies  from  the  notes  of  NobiUus,  to 
inform  him — non  eat  in  llehrat}.  This 
hint  is  common  in  all  the  ancient  edits.

work.  But,  aa  Orabe  has  sajraciously 
hinteti,  it  hail  been  nmeh  blotter*  if 
Pearson  himself  had  executed  his  own 
wishes-  He  had  equal  erudition,  and 
far  superior  judgment, — ►It  should  bo 
distinctly  remembere«l|  that  this  Cam- 
bridge edition  copie.'i  that  of  London^ 
even  in  il5  tvpograiihical  erratti.  That 
the  Master  of  Trinity,  under  the  well- 
known  initials  J.  P.  would  not  have 
written  a  prtiface,  or  given  Ins  sanction 
'io  anjr  edition  of  the  LXX.  of  which 
lie  did  nrtt  approve  the  order  and 
arranj^euiL'nt,  is  a  lelf-evident  truth. 
The  natural  inference  again  follows^ 
that  Pearson  was  the  real  and  respon- 
sible editor  of  both  these  editions  of 
the  LXX*  We  possess  a  copy  of  the 
Scholiat  from  the  biblical  collection 
of  the  Duke  of  Su*isex,  on  the  lly-leaf 
of  which  this  fact  ta  recognised  m  the 
following  inscription  written  in  a  very 
old  hand — Jtmnni^  P>  arsons  Ep*  Cm- 
laiia. 

Nor  does  it  at  all  affect  the  furce 
of  this  conclusion,  that  these  editions 
are  somewhat  incorrectly  printed, 
Pearson  had  too  much  on  his  hands  to 
turn  corrector  of  the  press,  and  it  was 
then  no  easy  matter,  for  the  iirst  time. 


to  print  a  correct  Septuagint,  so  many 
arc  the  peculiarities  of  grammar  and 
orthography.  Nor  does  it  impair 
this  chain  of  circumstantial  evidence, 
thnt  Bishop  Walton  has  spoken  some- 
what disparagingly  of  botii  these  edi- 
tions, OS  being  too  much  accommodated 
to  the  existing  Hebrew  text**  It  is 
diilieult  to  reconcile  this  objection  with 
other  parts  of  his  Prolegomena.  In 
sect.  ix.  3  (p.  139,  edit.  Wranghara), 
he  menti<^>ns  the  numerous  transposi- 
tions in  the  text  of  the  LXX.^  and 
accounts  for  them  xipe  ex  sckedanwi  cow- 
fushne — five  ei  sciolorum  audacia,  &c. 
but  vindicates  the  original  order  and 
authority  of  the  translator*.  Now*  this 
was  all  that  Bishop  Pearson  required 
to  K^nnetion  his  adjustment  of  chapter 
and  versci  to  the  order  of  the  original, 
and  it  exactly  corresponds  to  the  plan 
luid  down  in  both  the  London  and 
Csimbriilge  editions :  nor*  indeed,  does 
Walton  hiuiiielt^  appear  to  have  any 
other  object  in  view.  J^l  in  hoc  numme

Such  were  the  comprehensive  views 
of  these  master  critics.  But  there  are, 
ami  always  have  been,  editors  of  an- 
other spirit  ;  men  sei'vilely  cleaving 
to  the  MS.  or  adhering  to  the  mis- 
takes of  transcribers;  who  convert 
errors  into  various  lections,  and  who 
exhibit  and  amplify  their  erudition  by 
enoriuous  piles  of  antiquated  blunders. 
These  "  l»lack-letter  dogs/'  as  they 
were  facetiously  called  by  the  author 
of  "  The  Pursuits  of  Literature,"  can 
nevei*  let  an  old  blunder  be  forgotten. 
They  delight  to  immortalize  errata  and 


*  TJiertf  is,  indeed,  some  apology  for  Walton  and  Boa  in  their  aoimadtrersicins. 
This  edition  was  falsely  characterised  on  the  title-pag*^— /«jf/a  Exemplar  Vaiicanum 
RomeB  editum,  acenrotiaime  el  ad  gmussim  tet^VMutn. — Now,  ancU  a  description

Romin,  etea  in  the  order  of  the  booki,  much  U'sa  in  numeroos  portious  of  the  teit. 
The  inference,  therefore,  is,  that  the  titte-page  wm  left  solely  to  the  printer  and  hw 
asaistanta,  who  strove  to  recommend  the  work  by  a  fslse  but  pUui^lbte  ssiertion.  It

the  lacuneg — the  transpositian — the  in-

Are  not  they  as  old  as  the  days  of

that  "Susanna"  and  "Bel**  have  no 
more  right  to  form  parts  of  Daniel, 
than  if  we  were  to  deform  our  English 
Bibles  by  some  monkish  legend  or

probably  the  exercise  of  some  ingeni- 
ous Hellenistic  student — ^but  it  existed 
long  before  the  era  of  the  Reformation 
— ergo^  we  have  no  critical  right  to 
denounce  such  ancient  forgeries. 

Now,  really  we  should  apologise  for

But  centuries  have  passed  away,  and

floand  somewhat  barsh  and  severe. 
These  are  ancient  and  obstinate  ulcers : 
they  demaud  the  fu-obe;  no  mild 
enkoUieats  could  effect  the  cure. 

It  ifl  asserted  by  raanj,  there  n  a 
wide  and  essential  diflerence  between 
the  c&Qon  of  the  Greek  i^nd  Homan 
Church,  and  that  the  superLority  h  all 
on  the  side  of  the  former.  But  thts  is 
»  great  mistake.  The  difference  Is 
very  sligh  t  ancj  u  n  im  portan  t,  1 1  chi  etl y 
coQsisU  in  the  admlHsion  of  the  fourth 
book  of  EsdraSf  and  the  fourth  book 
of  Maccabees,  and  in  a  trifling  change 
in  the  position  of  the  books.  But  their 
real  agreement  is  essential  and  radical. 
They  ttgree  in  blending  the  apocry- 
phal with  the  canonical  Seriptures^ — 
the  spurious  parts  of  Esther  with  the 
genuine— the  fables  of  Susanna  and 
Bel  with  the  Visions  of  Daniel.  It 
makes  no  practical  dilTerGnce,  that,  in 
the  East,  they  read  Suisanna  at  the 
beginning,  and  Draco  at  the  end, 
whereas,  in  the  West,  they  place  both 
at  the  close  of  the  proph  et.  It  makes  no 
difference,  whether  we  find  the  Prayer 
of  AjGftrias  in  the  midst  of  Daniel,  or 
at  the  end  of  the  Psalms.  Nor  can 
we  discover,  that  the  relative  estima- 
tion, in  which  the  apocryphal  books 
are  held,  differs  in  the  slightest  degree. 
When  Oiconomus,  the  most  eminent 
of  the  living  Athenian  divines,  heard 
of  the  proposed  alteration  of  order  in 
the  booKs,  he  threatened  to  denounce 
the  whole  design,  as  dangerous  and 
unscriptural.  Now,  this  conduct  ex- 
actly corresponds  to  the  dogmas  of 
Rome.  It  IS  thus  the  note  of  the 
Douay  stands  at  the  tenth  chapter  of 
Esther :  "  Here  St.  Jerome  advertizeth 
the  reader,  that  what  follows  is  not  in 
the  Hebrew;  but  is  found  in  the 
Septuflffiut  Greek  edition,  which  the 
LXXII.  interpreters  translated  out  of 
the  Hebrew,  or  added  by  the  inspira* 
tion  of  the  Holy  Ghost."  So  also 
chap.  xiii.  of  Daniel :  *'  This  history 
of  Susanna,  in  all  the  ancient  Greet 
and  Latin  Bibles,  was  placed  in  the 
beginning  of  the  Book  of  Daniel,  till 
Jerome,  in  his  translation,  detached  it 
from  thence ;  which  is  also  the  ease  of 
the  history  of  Bel  and  the  Dragon. 
But  Ixith  the  one  and  the  other  are 
received  by  the  Catholic  Church,  and 
was  from  the  beginning  a  part  of  the 
Christian  Bible."— When  the  Oxford 
editors  of  the  LXX.  resolved  to  expel 

Gext.  Mao.  Vol,  XL  J, 


the  Protestant  order  of  Bos,  Franeq, 
1709,  and  to  substitute  the  papal  order 
of  the  Six  tine  Exemplar,  **  Komas 
editum,"  1586,  they  virtually  put  their 
hand  and  seal  to  these  dogmas  of  the 
Romish  Church  on  the  canon,  as  op- 
posed to  the  Anglican.  And  when,  m 
1 848,  they  included  the  strange  nssem- 
blttge  of  apocryphal  by  inns  at  the  close 
of  tlie  Psalms,  with  the  ascription  of 
the  title  ecorrffcos'  to  the  Virgin  Mary, 
as  the  Potior  Varietas  Codicis  AUz^ 
andnm\  they  virtually  indorsed  the 
ignorance  and  superstition  of  the  Greek 
Church,  as  superior  "  to  that  pure  and 
apostoitcal  part  of  the  Catholic  Church 
which  is  established  in  these  Tealms," — 
as  they  constantly  profess  before  aer- 
mon  at  St.  Mary's. 

Nor  is  this  edition  creditable  to  the 
University  Pres«,  from  the  careless 
and  desultory  manner  in  which  the 
Alexandrian  is  adduced  to  supply  the 
defects  of  the  Vatican  MS.  or  rather 
the  Roman  Exemplar.  Take,  e.g. 
Jeremiah,  chap.  lii.  verses  27 — 31. 
Three  verses  are  here  wanting.  Why 
arc  they  not  supplied  from  the  Alex- 
andrian text  ? — Nor  should  the  dde- 
gatea  have  confined  their  collation  to 
the  Alexandrian.  It  should  have  em- 
braced the  Complutensian,  whenever 
the  defects  of  the  Vatican  could  not  be 
other wi.se  amended.  Thus,  in  Exodus, 
chapters  xxvii.  26 — 28,  xxxvi,  5 — 28, 
xxxvii. — ^xl.  large  lactmtBi  large  spaces 
without  stichoraetry,  may  be  rectified- 
From  the  same  source,  all  the  disloca- 
tions of  Jeremiah  may  be  adjusted  to 
the  Hebrew  original.  Such  correc- 
tions of  the  text  are  worth  all  the  cart- 
loads of  various  readings  in  Holmes 
and  Parsons — which  Schleusner  has

to  its  real  value,  perhaps,  Tischendorf,

in  prioL  One  is  the  mural  monument 
of  the  celebrated  Edmund  Ludlow, 
placed  against  the  north  wall  of  a 
small  diapel  on  the  flame  side  of  the 
dutrch;  the  other  it  a  monumental 
dab  in  the  north  aisle,  adjoining  the 
chapel  in  questioa,  and  covering  the 
remains  of  Andrew  Broughton. 

I  hadf  manj  jears  aso,  remarked  two 
other  moDumental  slabs,  of  similar  de- 
sign, close  bj,  and  which,  as  it  appeared 
to  me,  would^  if  examined,  be  dis- 
oorered  to  record  the  decease  of  two 
of  their  exiled  companions.  One  of 
these,  from  being  able  to  read  the  word 
**Nicoua^"  would,  I  concluded,  be 
found  to  be  commemorative  of  Nicholas 
Lore.  Bein^,  during  the  autumn  of 
the  last  jear,  for  a  short  time  resident 
at  Vevaj,  I  determined,  if  practicable, 
to  solve  this  Question,  and  accordiogl v, 
with  the  permiaaion  of  the  Syndic,  very 
readilj  and  courteously  granted,  1  was 
enableil  to  do  so*  It  became  necessary 
to  remove  two  fixed  ranges  of  strong 
wooden  seats,  and  the  disclosure  was

scripiionsp  I  must  dmrtlj  adv«ri  to 
the  two  that  had  been  previoiislj  6b* 
senred  sod  recorded.    The  first  Rolieaii 
of  them    is    contained   in 
Travels.     He  began  his 
tour  in  December,  1699,  and  appeanJ 
to  have  been  at  Tevay  during  the  winter  ^ 
of  the  fc^owing  year.      He   copied^ 
both  inscriptions,  namely  Lndlow*s  and 
Bronghton  s,  but  makes  no  mention  of 
the  other  two,  and,  6xim  the  fact  of 
his  conjecturing  that  Broughton  had 
been  clerk  to  the  High  Court  of  .Tustiot^  | 
it  may  be  inferred  that  he  had  not  t 
the  mterestittg  work,  then    reeentlv 

Srinted   at  Veray,  called  "  Ludlow  s 
lemoirs,**  inasmuch  as  Ludlow  dit*^ 
tinctly  states  that  Broughton  was  i 
clerk  of  that  court. 

Gixe,  in  his  Tour  throash  Switxer*  ! 
land,  merely  mentions  LudTowV  monu- 
ment, remarking  that  AddUon  had  aU 
ready  recorded  iu  He  makes  no  dlusioa 
to  the  other  monumental  stabs,  not  even  \ 
to  BroughtonY    Copies  of  the  inscnp*

given  in  the  77th  volume  of  the  Gentle*  ^

iuLuai'i,  i'JLs  uNvj  .^ouic  former  writers 
in  this  M«gazine,t  seems  strangely  to 
have  puzzled  over  what  appears  to  me 
a  very  simple  translation.  The  first 
clause  of  the  motto  is  from  Ovid,J  and 
the  addition  of  quia  fatsib  to  the 
poet*8  words  was,  no  doubt,  intended 
to  convey  the  following  meaning, — 
^^  because  it  is  the  land  ol  God,  bis  Cre- 
ator, the  Father  of  all."  Shflkspere*s 
lines  in  Richard  the  Second  are  some- 
what similar — 

All  plflce*  timt  the  eye  of  Heaven  vMta, 
Are  to  Uie  wise  man  ports  and  bappjr  havens^ 

But  that  Ovid  was  a  plagiarist  has 
been  suggested  to  me  by  the  contri- 
butor of  a  paper  for  the  Archa»ologia 
hcreaflter  mentioned,  and  we  find  in 
a  Fragment  of  Euripides,

1821,  and  placed  OTer  a  chimney  in  the  hall  of  Meywood-bonse,  near  Westbury,

The  cbasnis  m  the  above,  but  which, 
with  the  exception  of  the  presumed  age 
of  Caw  ley,  arc  immuteruil,  were  the 
rcAuk  of  a  difbcnlty  in  detaching  the 
beams  supporting  the  b^nehes.  The 
word  Atiglicam  seemed,  by  the  touch,  to 
fiAloyn  Armigeri  in  Cawley'sf  inscription. 

The  arms  on  this  latter  slab  are 
carved  in  nscnnewbut  uncoutb  fashion. 
Three  shields^  the   centre  one  anr- 


mounted  by  n  crest,  are  placed  withip 
a  larger  shield.  The  centre  shield  is 
obargtMl  with  a  chevron  ermine  be- 
tween three  swuns'  heads — the  cont  of 
Cawley,  and  the  crest  a  dcmi-griffon 
i»isuin<j'  from  a  wreath.  The  dexter 
^hield  ms  a  blank  with  an  impalement, 
viz  : — three  bulls  heads,  two  and  one. 
The  sinister  ebield  has  also  a  blank 
with  an  impaleinent,  seemingly  like  two 
bends.  Tliese  wcre^  no  doubt,  the  coats 
of  the  two  wives  of  Cawley. 

lire  first  of  these   exiles  was  the 
eldest  son  of  Dr.  Nicholas  Love,  ono

ON  THE  CHARACTER  OF  CERVANTES  AND  HIS  WRITINGS. 


AMONGST  tbe  celebrated  names 
tfi  the  aDools  of  the  grent  reTival  of 
literftture  in  Europe,  in  the  sixteenth 
century,  there  are  few  more  worthy 
to  be  known  and  admired  than  Cer- 
Yantea ;  jet,  among  the  great  number 
af  readers  in  this  country  conTer»ant 
with  the  authors  of  that  period^  how 
few  are  there  who  could  tell  more  than 
that  he  wrote  Don  Quixote  I  There 
have,  never tlicless,  been  many  lives 
written  of  hint,  and  enough  is  known 

'  of  hia  history  to  make  us  feel  that  we 
can  form  a  distinct  idea  of  the  genius 
and  character  of  the  mnn.  nTiat 
urould  we  not  give  to  possess  as  many 
facts  respecting  the  life  of  our  own 
Shakjjpere  I  I'he  lives  most  esteemed 
of  Cervantea  are  that  by  Vicente  de 
loa  Rios,  which  is  prefixed  to  the  edi- 
tion of  Don  Quixote  by  the  Spanish 
Academy,  Madrid,  1780,  4  torn.  foL; 
one  by  Juan  Antonio  FeUicer,  which 

'was  first  printed  in  1778,  but  after- 
wards, with  large  addition^  introduced 
in  his  edition  o!  Don  Quixote,  Madrid, 
1 797, 1 7JI8, 5  torn.  8vo. ;  and  one  by  Don 
Martin  Fernandez  de  NavaiTcte,  pub- 
lished by  tbe  Spanish  Academy,  Madrid, 
1819.  This  is  the  life  whieli  Ticknor 
mentions  as  the  best  of  all  in  bis 
opinion. 

The  family  of  Cervantes  was  noble, 
but  decayed*  Miguel  was  born  early 
in  October,  1547.  The  little  town  of 
Alcala  de  Benares,  about  twenty  miles 
from  Madrid,  has  the  honour  o(  being 
his  birthplace.  Ilis  parenfs  were  Uod- 
Tigo  de  Cervtuites  and  Dunn  a  Leonora 
de  CJortinas.  liy  nature  he  was  gifted 
with  a  brilliant  genius,  a  rare  imagina- 
tioii,  and  a  clear  judgment,  says  one 
of  hiH  biographers,*  and  so  vehement 
ft  love  of  literature  that  he  read  every- 
thing that  came  within  his  reach*     He 

I  ffougat    to    gather   information    from 

[  «very  source,  even  from  the  torn  papers 
he  met  with  in  the  streets,  as  he  tells 
us  himself.  Uid  parents  early  encou- 
tafjed  bis  love  of  learning,  and  he  was 
tjiught  ^ammarand  reading  by  Master 
Juan  Lo[>ez  de  Ooyos.  Tn  the  yeai' 
15GS  it  appears  that  Ccrviintes  was  in 
Madrid  when   Queen   Isabella  died; 


but  in  1570  he  wan  living  at  Eome, 
acting  as  Chamberlain  to  the  Cardinal 
Acquaviva.  Julius  Aequavivahad  been 
sent  into  Spain  by  Pope  Pius  the  Fifihi 
to  obtain  satbfaction  from  Philip  the 
Second  touching  certain  ecdeaiastical 
matters  at  Milan.  When  he  returned 
to  Rome  he  was  made  a  Cardinal,  and 
carried  ^liguel  away  with  him,  being 
probably  pleased  with  the  grace  ana 
beauty  of  his  person  and  mind. 

The  holy  Pontiff,  Philip  the  Second, 
and  the  Republic  of  Venice  united  to- 
gether, soon  afler  this,  against  Selim, 
the  Emperor  of  the  Turks,  which 
league  was  concluded  on  tbe  29th  of 
May,  1571  ;  and  Cervantes,  dissatisfied 
wita  the  idle  life  of  a  court,  longing 
for  glory,  to  w  hich  his  disposition  in- 
clineti  him,  felt  an  ambition  to  become 
a  soldier.  "•  There  are  no  better  sol- 
diers than  those  transplanted  from  the 
seats  of  learning  to  the  fields  of  war," 
as  he  observes  long  afterwards  in  one 
of  his  works.f  This  joint  armament 
was  commanded  hy  Don  John  of  Aus- 
tria, a  natural  son  of  the  Emperor 
Charles  the  Fifth,  and  who  would  him- 
self make  an  admirable  hero  for  a  ro- 
mance. It  was  at  LepantOf  fighting 
under  hi  in,  that  Cervantes  received 
the  wound  which  deprived  him  of  the 
use  of  his  left  hami  and  arm  for  the 
rest  of  his  life.  But  upon  this  and  other 
details  of  his  career  in  the  paths  of 
glory,  of  im  captivity  among  the  Moora 
at  Algiera^  his  sutlerings  and  trials, 
his  many  adventures,  and  finally  his 
release  and  restoration  to  his  own 
country,  having  gained  the  love  and 
admiration  of  all  who  knew  him  by  his 
noble,  brave,  and  unselfish  character, 
we  have  not  present  time  or  space  to 
dwell  further,  our  ol)ject  here  being  to 
give  some  account  of  his  literary  la* 
Sours  rather  than  his  personal  history. 

He  returnetl  to  Spain  in  15K0,  after 
a  ten  years'  absence,  poor,  and  without 
a  friend  to  assist  his  career  in  life. 
His  mother  liad  impoverished  herself 
by  paying  the  ransom  for  her  sons, 
Miguel  and  an  elder  brother,  who  had 
been  released  three  years  before  him. 
His  father  was  dead.

1854,]         The  Character  of 

Tlie  first  work  we  hear  of  is  his 
Galatea,  a  pastoral  romance,  or  eclogue, 

[mode  familiar  to  us,  though  somewhat 

[  abridged  and  altered,  by  Flormn.  It 
'  ;  said  that  Cervante^J  wrote  it  to  win 

[  ihe  favour  of  a  iair  lady  of  good  fiimdy 
who  lived  at  Esiimvias,  a  village  near 
Madrid,  and  that  she  ia  celebrated  in  it 
as  the  shepherdess  Amaryllis.  Be  this  as 
It  uiay,  before  it  was  finished  he  married 

I  Bonna  Catalina  de  SalazLir,  of  Esqui- 
viaa,  whereby  he  seems  to  have  gained 

I  Knppiness,  but  not  wealth,  though  she 

i  was  the  possessor  of  a  small  property 
At  that  place;  aod,  in  order  to  gubsist 
and  maintain  a  family,  he  turned  his 
Attention  to  the  drama.    At  this  period 

\  it  was  in  a  rude  and  unformed  state. 
He  telb  us  of  twenty  or  thirty  plays 
which  were  acted  with  apijluuse  :  of 
these  but  eight  or  nine  are  known. 
Sismondi,  in  hia  Litteratiire  dn  Midi, 
has  given  a  curious  extract  from  the 
preface  to  hia  plays,  in  which  Cer- 
vantes narrates  what  he  had  done  for 
the  improvement  of  the  dnimu,  and 
described  the  state  he  foun<l  it  in  ; 
modestly  speaks  of  his  own  success, 
and  of  the  two  most  celebrated  of  his 
works  in  this  line — the  Life  in  Algiera 
and   Kumantia:   **  I  was   at   length," 

,  lays  he,  **  occupied  with  other  matters, 

f  and  I  laid  down  njy  pen  and  forsook 
the  drama.  In  the  meantime  appeared 
that  prodigy  Lope  de  Vega,  who  imme- 
diately assumed  the  drauiatic  crown."* 
Of  these  plays  both  Sismondi  and 
Ticknor  have  given  us  a  full  and  ex- 
cellent  account.      Schlegel  speaks  of 

^  the  Nuniantia  as  if  it  x? ere  not  merely 

\  one  of  the  most  di.>«tinguished  elforts 
of  the  early  Sjianisb  theatre,  but  one 

\  of  the  most  striking  e.vhibi lions  of 
tuodern  noetry.  It  does  not,  however, 
appear  that  this  was  profi table  (Minugh 
to  go  on  with.  He  had  a  sister  de- 
pendent upon  him  as  well  as  a  wife  to 
maintain*  No  mcution  is  ever  made 
of  children ;  it  is  probable,  therefore, 

I  timt  he  had  none.  In  his  last  work, 
Pci*8iles   and    Sigismnnda,   which   we 

f  shall  notice  by  and  by,  he  introduces 
a   poet,   in  whom  we   plainly  see   he 

'  means  to  describe  himself,  **  who  came 
with  the  company  (a  party  of  travel- 
ling comedians)  on  purpose  to  help  and 
patch  up  aod  mend  old  plays,  and  also 
write  Dew  ones,  an   occupation   that 


*  and  huf  Wriiingx.

brought  bim  more  work  than  profit, 
and  more  amusement  than  honour, 
llowever,"  continues  he,  "good  poetry 
is  always  like  clear  water  \  it  improves 
all  tiuclean  things.  Like  the  sun^  it 
passes  over  all  impurities  without  being 
defiled  by  them.  It  is  a  gleam  of  light 
that  shines  forth  from  a  dark  corner, 
not  burning,  but  illumining,  all  It  meets 
with-''  Thus  be  consoled  himself  for 
the  lack  of  any  profit  in  his  pursuit,  in 
his  usual  gay  and  cheerful  manner  of 
looking  into  all  things, — thus  does  he, 
with  a  lively  and  bright  spirit,  moke 
even  adversity  smile. 

He  went  next  to  Seville,  which  he 
calls  in  one  of  his  novels  ^  a  shelter  for 
the  poor  and  a  refuge  for  the  unfortu- 
nate." lie  tried  a  quite  different  trade 
here,  acting  as  one  of  the  agents  of 
Antonio  de  Guevara,  a  royal  commia- 
aary  for  the  American  fleet*,  and  after- 
wards as  a  collector  of  moneys  due  to 
the  government  and  to  private  indi- 
viduals. It  was  during  the  time  he 
held  these  employments  that  be  had 
to  travel  in  dilTerent  parts  of  Anda- 
lusia and  Granada,  by  which  means  he 
became  nct|uaiiited  thoroughly  with 
life,  manners,  and  scenery  in  those 
beautiful  parts  of  hia  native  country  ; 
and  we  perceive  the  I'CiJuIt  in  the  fide- 
lity and  truth  with  which  he  describes 
places  and  persons  in  the  tales  he 
wrote  afterwards. 

But  still  hia  evil  star  pursued  him; 
he  again  fell  into  trouble  and  a  second 
captivity,  though  not  this  time  among 
the  Moors,  but  in  a  prison  at  Seville. 
Diflerent  accounts  are  given  of  the 
cauje  of  this  new  mislbrl  une.  Ticknor^s, 
however,  is  probably  the  true  one,^ 
"  some  debts  incurred,  partly  owing  to 
the  failure  of  a  person  to  whose  care 
he  had  entrusted  money,  partly,  per- 
haps^  to  his  own  negligence.  The  sura 
was  so  small  that  it  seems  to  mark  a 
more  severe  degree  of  poverty  than  he 
had  yet  suffered/*  He  was  released 
after  about  three  months'  imprison- 
ment. Uis  residence  at  Seville  ex- 
tenfled  from  1588  to  1598,  or  perhaps 
longer.  Ijeaides  this  imprisonment  at 
Seville  for  debt  in  15f>7,  he  seems  again 
to  have  been  in  conlincment  at  Valla- 
dolid.  Pellicer  enters  v^ry  fully  into 
all  the  particulars  of  this ;  he  says  that 
it  was  in   IGO^t  and,  afler  quoting  a

waa  planntid  and  partly  writttin  in  fi

In  &  prison,  then,  untl  without  books  or 
Bay  oUier  assistance  except  th&t  which  he 
could  command  from  bis  own  memory  and 
fertile  imegi  nation,  he  composed  a  work 
original^  deHghtlui,  elegant  id  sty  lei  in- 
itractirei  of  a  marvellous  tuvention,  mas- 
terly good  tuatc,  and  matter  for  never- 
ending  and  pleasant  diversion  i  n  work 
which  displays  the  Uvelineas  of  his  fancy, 
the  rkhneas  of  hb  genius  and  of  hts 
learningi  and  yet  more  of  his  Christian 
philoBophy ;  far,  though  the  prison  was 
iocoDvenient  and  melancholy,  yet  neither 
did  his  imngiuatioD  grow  dull,  nor  hli 
inrention  fail,  nor  did  his  muid  grow 
depressed. 

He  Iried,  but  id  vain,  to  obtain  from 
the  Kiuj];  an  appointment  in  America* 
setting  tbrth»  by  cxoct  ducunienta  which 
now  constitute  the  most  Tnluiible  ma- 
terial for  his  biography^  a  general 
account  of  bia  aflventurea,  services, 
and  BuSbrings,  yrhllti  n  soldier  in  the 
Levant,  and  of  the  miseries  of  bis  life 
while  ft  slave  in  Algiers.  Thij  was  in 
I590«*  Ticknor  takes  bis  authority 
from  the  Life  by  Navarretc*    He  never 

fot  any  thing  but  a  formal  answer  to 
is  applicatiou. 

It  has  been  said  above  that  the  Don 
Quixote  was  written  in  a  prison*  It 
18  not  exactly  clear  when  it  was  begun, 
but  certainly  during  part  of  this  time 
when  he  was  overwhelmcil  with  trouble 
and  vexation  of  every  sort.  Cervantes 
was  in  Seville  when  King  Philip  the 
Second  died,  16Q$.  PcUiecr  says  that 
nothing  is  known  of  his  refuge  or 
dwelling-place  from  tliis  time  till  we 
find  him  in  VuUadolid  in  the  year  1604. 
Did  he  move  iit  once  from  Seville  to 
this  town,  where  Philip  the  Thini  held 
his  new  court  ?  or  was  he  wandering 
in  other  kingdoms  and  provinces? 
This  is  exactly  what  we  know  nothing 
of.  Pellicer  is  disposed  to  believe  that 
be  wan,  duriog  this  time^  acquiring  that 
knowledge  of  La  Mancha,  which  soon 
after  shone  forth  in  the  Don  Quixote. 
However,  we  have  not  space  to  pursue 
the  in«]uiry  here. 

In  spite  of  the  extraordinary  success 
of  the  new  production,  which  waa 
printed  at  Madrid  in  1GU5,  and  of  the 
universal  admiration  it  excited,  we  do 


not  find  the  condition  of  ita  Author  at 
all  improved.  He  was  now  a  courtier, 
and  followed  the  court  to  Madrid ;  but 
still  poor,  unfriended,  and  necessitous, 
Hia  book  was  trauitlatcd  into  all  lan- 
guages, and  read  by  every  body ;  but 
neither  Philip  the  'Third,  nor  any  of 
the  great  men  of  his  court,  once  thought 
of  extending  the  hand  of  assistance  to 
a  man  whose  name  was  to  live  for  ever 
as  an  honour  and  a  glory  to  the  un- 
grateful country  which  was  unworthy 
to  call  him  her  son. 

Eight  years  after  this,  in  1613,  he 
nublished  his  Novelas  Excmplares,  or 
Instructive  Tales,  twelve  in  number ; 
and  in  the  preface  he  announces  a 
second  part  of  Don  Quixote.  Before 
it  could  be  published,  a  person  callifig 
himself  Avelliuicdii^  who  is  suspectra 
of  being  a  Dominican  monk,  came  out 
with  an  impertinent  and  affronting 
production  which  he  called,  the  second 
volume  of  the  ingenious  Knight  Don 
Quixote  de  la  Mancha.  It  is  singular 
that  the  real  author  of  this  was  never 
known,  though  all  manner  of  conjee- 
tures  were  ailoat  at  the  time.  Pellicer 
and  Navarrete  give  the  whole  (iiscus- 
gion  at  length.  Cervantes  brought  his 
second  part  out  earlier  than  he  had  in- 
tended III  consequence.  It  was  finished 
in  February,  1615,  and  published  the 
autumn  following.  As  the  Duchess 
said  in  Don  Quixote^  chap,  32,  it  went 
forth  into  the  full  daylight  of  the  world 
with  the  greatest  applause  of  idl  men. 

It  has  been  eaid  that  Cervuntes 
wrote  the  little  work  calle*!  The  Bus- 
capio  or  Stpiib,  because  he  saw  that 
his  book  was  read  by  those  who  could 
not  understand  it,  and  that  those  who 
could,  did  not  rend  it ;  and  that  in  it 
he  pointt^I  out  that  his  Don  Quixoto 
was  a  neat  and  veiled  satire  upon  munj 
well  known  and  great  personagesi 
amongst  whom  were  the  Emperor 
Charles  the  Fifth  and  the  Duxe  of 
Lerma.  lu  the  Life  by  Pellicer,  man/ 
pages  are  devoted  to  shew  the  ab- 
surdity of  such  a  belief,  and  to  prove 
that  it  never  was  written  by  Cervantoti 
ftud  certainly  not  rctiuired  by  way  of 
enhancing  the  value  of  his  book.  It 
w«:juld  be  far  too  long  for  us  to  enter  in  to

"Peliicer  is  in  the  right.  A  full  account 
the  Buscapic  aiscussions   may  be 

rusu<J  in  the  ApjKJiiti'rx  to  Ticknor's 
liatorjr  of  Spanish  Literature.  In 
Ikct,  it  is  clearly  a  mure  imitation, 
written  by  an  anonymous  author.  The 
success  of  Don  (Quixote  was  proved 
jncontestably  by  the  number  of  ita 
editions ;  three  if  not  four  were  mude 
in  the  year  W05y  in  which  it  waji 
published.  Such  an  iiwakener  aa  the 
Buscapie  waa  consequently  not  needed. 

The  Novel  as  Exeraplarcd  have  never 
been  well  translated.  They  are  writ- 
ten, lays  Mr.  Ticknor,  with  iin  idio- 
matic richness,  a  spirit  and  a  ^race 
which,  though  t)iey  are  tbe  oldoat  tales 
of  their  class  in  Spain^  bave  left  them 
ever  since  without  successful  rivals. 
Some  of  the  tales  were  translated  into 
English  in  1640,  There  is  an  abridge- 
ment of  one  of  them  in  Floriun — The 
Fucrza  de  la  Sangre,  under  the  name 
of  Leocadie^ — an  English  translation 
by  Mnbbe,  London,  1640,  folio.  A 
good  many  of  the  talcs  were  included 
in  an  old  Collection  of  Novels  and 
Romances,  1729.  In  the  year  1742 
an  Enrjhsh  translation  by  Snelton  was 
republished,  and  a  note  in  Roscoe's 
translation  of  Sismondi's  Litterature 
de  Midi  mentions  a  newer  translation 
in  2  vols.  l2mo.  1 922.  The  year  after 
Cervantes  had  brought  his  Novelas 
before  the  public,  he  printed  bis  Jour- 
ney to  Parnassus,  a  satire;  and  in  1615, 
the  same  year  in  which  the  second  part 
of  Don  Quixote  appeared,  some  come- 
dies were  printed  which  were  never 
acted)  and  he  found  a  pubb slier  for 
them  with  difEculty. 

There  remaina  now  only  one,  and 
that  his  last  work,  to  notice,  and  we 
must  hasten  to  bring  the  lifci  of  our 
author  to  a  close.  In  the  Dedication 
to  the  Count  de  Lcmos  which  is  affixed 
to  the  second  part  of  his  Dun  Quixote, 
he  alludes  to  his  failing  health.  By  the 
manner  in  which  he  writes  to  this  noble- 
man, it  majr  be  inferred  that  towards  the 
end  of  his  life  some  favour  and  patronage 
was  bestowed  upon  him  by  the  Count* 
In  the  Dedication  to  the  Count  dc 
Lemos,  which  we  find  in  his  *^  Persiles 
and  Sigismunda,"  (the  work  alluded 
to  jibovei)  Ue  speaks  of  *^  the  hopes  he 


S67 


htts  entertained  of  his  lordships  good- 
ness.** We  would  ftiin  hope  that  some 
**  goodness"  was  intended  to  cheer  his 
old  age,  had  bis  life  been  longer  spared 
to  benefit  by  it.  The  preface  to  this 
romance  was  written  after  his  return 
from  Esquivias,  where  he  batl  gone, 
probably  for  change  of  air,  and  to 
enjoy  more  quiet  than  he  could  do  in 
Madrid ;  ana  we  may  consider  it  as 
almost  a  last  legacy  from  him,  and 
containing  his  farewell  words. 

He  was  not  very  far  from  seventy 
years  of  age,  and  his  health  was  rapidly 
failing  nndcr  the  iiitluence  of  disease 
and  worn-out  strength;  yet  still  his 
lively  spirits  and  cheerful  good-humour 
were  unabated,  as  may  be  seen  by  onv 
one  who  takes  the  trouble  to  read  thi« 
very  remarkable  preface;  and  those 
who  take  still  further  trouble  and  read 
the  romance  itself,  will  perceive  that 
the  brightness  of  his  fancy  and  the 
fertility  of  bis  miagination,  were  like- 
wise unchanged  and  undiminished. 

We  have  seen  with  pleasure  that 
this  work,  hitherto  almost  entirely  un- 
known in  this  country,  has  just  been 
presented  to  the  English  public* 

It  was  not  published  till  six  months 
after  the  death  of  its  author,  which 
took  place  on  the  23rd  of  April, 
1616. 

The  dedication  is  dated  the  19th  of 
the  same  month ;  he  had  received  ex- 
treme unction  only  the  day  before. 
"  My  time,"  says  he,  "is  snort,  my 
fears  increase,  my  hopes  diminish ;  yet 
do  I  greatly  wish  that  my  lite  could  be 
prolonged,  so  that  I  might  have  the 
great  delight  of  seeing  your  Excellency 
once  again  in  Spain  ;  it  would  almost 
he  new  life  to  me ;  but  if  it  be  decreed 
that  I  am  to  lose  it,  the  will  of  heavott 
be  done." 

The  Count  de  Lemos  was  then  on 
his  way  home  Irom  Naples,  but  before 
he  arrived  the  great  and  noble  spirit 
of  Cervantes  was  released. 

Tlic  number  of  editions  through  which 
"Persiles  and  Sigismunda*'  has  ^one 
in  Spain,  prt»ve  the  estimation  in  wuich 
it  was  held  in  that  country  ;  and  it  ap- 
pears that  not  only  Cervantes  himself, . 
but  his  friendsi  thought  it  admirable, 
and  Joseph  de  Valdivieso  said  he  had

lessness and  inconsistency  for  which 
he  is  so  remarkable,  and  which  he  has  < 
phewn  to  a  great  de^ec  also  in  his  < 
Don  Quixote,  he  suddenly  forgets  that  t 
he  must  keep  to  the  dreamland  he  has  1 
chosen,  and » by  bringing  In  persons  and  j 
events  that  belong  to  his  own  timei 
fixes  the  date  exactly. 

It  is  imposaihle  to  suppose  that  he 
was  ignorant  of  the  manners  andhabitl  i 
of  England  ami  Ireland  at  a  time  wheQ^ 
the  history  of  both  was  cJosely  con«^ 
nectcd  with  that  of  Spain ;  we  knoW|.^ 
intiecd,  llint  he  was  not.     Even  after  j 
the  death  of  Mary,  who  had  espoused 
Philip  II.  a  Span! eh  ambassador  wt^4 
living  nt  Elizabeth's  court.    Cervantetl 
returned  from   his  Moorish  captivity  1 
in   1580,     Pie  must   have  been   per-  i 
fectly  aware  of  all  the  intrigues  and  ( 
plots  of  the  Duke  of  Alva,  who  for  90  J 
many  years  endeavoured  to  excite  the 
subjects  of  the  Protestant  tjueen  to 
rebellion  and  treason.     He  must  have 
known  that  Don  John  of  Austria,  the  \ 
hero  of  Lepanlo,  was  plotting  with  the  j 
Pope  and  the  Guises  to  depose  her|{ 
fuarry  the  Queen  of  Scots,  and  obtaial 
for  himself  the  crown  of  England^fj 
Death,  indci'tl,  ended  the  projects,  and  ( 
stayed  th«  ambition  ofDon  John;  but 
Btill  the  Pope  jmd  Philip  the  Second

Ells^jibetb,  vvhoae  wise  and  steady  reign  f 
was  the  main  support  of  the  Protestant  I 
Keformation.   At  the  time  of  the  cele- 
brated   cxpedlliou    to    Cailiz,   where

there  also  ;  at  any  rate  Pellk-er  giv«s 
U9  a  sonnet,  which  he  wrote  after  Ihg 
sacking  of  Cftiliz  by  Essex  and  How- 
ard.  And  doubtless,  from  tlic  accounts 
of  the  survivors  who  returned  to  Spain 


former  eflbrta,«  In  this  opinion  we 
do  not  think  English  readers  of  these 
days  will  be  inclined  to  agree.  Still 
it  well  deserves  to  be  known^  and  read, 
and  appreciated.  It  has  been  said  that 
he  looked  to  the  Greek  romances,  and 
took  the  Thea^enes  and  Chariclea  of 
Heltodorus  as  his  modcL  It  is  proba- 
ble that  this  was  so,  but  the  chief 
likeness  consists  in  his  taking  a  pair 
of  lovers  of  superhuman  beauty,  and 
oarrying  thera  tnrough  a  variety  of  the 
most  marvellous  adventures ;  but  here 
the  comparison  ceases.  We  question 
whether  any  modern  reader  would  have 
patience  to  read  through  many  chapters 
of  the  /Ethiopic  adventures,  and  yet 
that  work  has  not  been  without  its 
meed  of  praise ;  and  its  author,  we  are 
told  by  Ileylin,  chose  rather  to  lose 
his  bishoprick  than  consent  to  the 
burning  of  his  book,  which  a  pro- 
vincial synod  had  adjudged  to  the  fire* 
In  the  romance  of  *^  1  ersiles,'*  althou^^h 
there  is  an  obun dance  of  improbabili- 
ties and  absurdities,  yet  the  adventures 
and  incidents  are  so  rapidly  and  spirit* 
edly  told  as  to  make  it  attractive  and 
entertaining.  AU hough  the  story  is 
wild  and  fantastic,  yet  the  stylo  is  ex^ 
tremely  beau ti Jul  and  graceful,  and 
some  of  the  stories  have  an  especial 
interest,  because  wc  can  plainly  dis- 
cern in  them  traces  of  Cerrantes"  own 
experience  in  life^  and  paaaages  which 
li^long  to  hiif!  own  history.  In  many 
parts  wo  find  tlio  knowledge  of  the 
world  and  of  htitiian  noture,  in  which 
he  so  eminently  excelled ;  and  tl ashes 
of  h if!  own  bright  and  sunny  humour 
arc  not  un frequent. 

Wiih  all  thuscr  merits,  it  is  ihe  more 
extraordinary  that  tlirre  should  be 
mingled  in  this  remarkable  compojii- 
timi  such  striking  absurdities.  In  tlic 
bi'gtnnii^g  of  his  story  it  is  phvin  that 
he  meant  to  throw  the  date  of  it  so  far 
back  that  he  might  carry  ]m  pilgrims

a(\er  the  dispersion  of  the  Invincible 
Armaila,  he  collected  his  ideas  of  the 
wild  rocks  and  dangerous  shores  that 
were  to  be  found  among  the  north eru 
ietts.  But,  setting  all  truth  nuJ  pro* 
biibility  aside,  he  chose  to  let  his  fancy 
wander  and  create  ininginary  klnj|- 
doras,  and  people  the  islands  tVat  lie 
around  the  coasts  of  Great  Britain 
with  barbarians  and  saTuges,  at  Its 
own  sireet  will. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  thJrd  book 
of  rcrailes  and  Si;;Istminda+  he  brings 
his  wandering  pilgrims  into  Portugal, 
and  wc  know  that  the  tune  mu^t  be  in 
the  reign  of  either  Philip  the  Second 
or  Third,  when  Spain  and  Portugal 
were  (as  we  may  even  in  our  present 
time  possibly  again  see  them)  united 
fLSi  one  kingdom,  and  a  Spanish  viceroy 
reigned  in  Lisbon* 

The  apparent  ignorance  of  England 
and  English  history  which  he  displays, 
proves  most  distinctly  that  it  was  not 
his  intention  to  describe  tbat  country 
or  her  neighbouring  islands  as  they 
actually  were,  and  he  maintains  the 
same  sort  of  icnorance  in  speaking  of 
Denmark  or  Norway,  or  indeed  any  of 
the  northern  countries;  evidently  his 
descriptions  are  taken  from  the  wild 
tales  and  exaggerated  accounts  he  hail 
read  in  the  voyages  and  travels  antong 
the  northeiii  aeos,  Kamusio,  a  Ve- 
netian, published  ID  K150  the  ]st  vo- 
lume of  his  collection  of  travels,  his 
2nd  volume  C4iine  out  in  1559,  and 
his  3rd  in  1565.  In  this  collection  was 
iti«^luded  the  Tnivel^  of  Marco  Polo, 
an«l  also  (he  curious  voyages  of  the 
Zeni  Brothers. 

Several  enterprising  navigators  had 
found  their  way  Into  the  firozen  Bcas  of 
hitherto  unknown  regions,  but  geo- 
graphical knowledge  even  at  the  end 
of  the  sixteenth  century  was  very 
small  and  scanty. 

But,  with  respect  to  the  corsair  or 

Kfrate  vessels,  which  he  represents  in 
is  romance,  as  emiziog  about  the 
'  seas  in  sejirch  of  spoil,  and  yet  as  being 
under  the  command  of  higldy  respect- 
able personages,  as  for  instance,  one 
captain  is  spoken  of  as  being  a  P^J^r- 
ticular  friend  of  the  Prince  of  Den- 
mark, and  another  ajspires  to  gain  the 
love  of  a  King's  daughter,  we  need 
only  look  back  to  the  history  of  those 
times  and  we  shall  see  that  such  things 
were,  and  that  a  gentleman  well  born 


and  needy  might  H  out  a  veftsel  and 
sail  upon  an  expedition  to  which  perhaps 
in  those  days  we  might  give  a  very 
different  name  and  view  in  quite  another 
light.  In  fact  it  was  to  the  sins  of 
Spain  that  these  gentlemen  pirates 
owed  their  existence.  The  jealousy  of 
the  Spaniards  would  not  allow  any 
other  nation  to  trade  or  settle  in  the 
West  Indies.  About  the  year  1524 
those  associations  were  begun  which 
ended  in  the  terrible  history  of  th@ 
buccaneers. 

At  that  time  atifl  long  afterwards  Spaio^ 
in  right  of  her  priority  of  discovery,  con- 
sidered the  whote  of  the  New  World  aa 
treasure-trove,  of  which  iho  wai  lawfully 
and  exd naively  the  miitresa.  Every  fo- 
reigner found  on  the  coasts  of  the  vast 
AmericHu  continent  or  among  the  itlnndt 
was  treated  as  a  robber ;  and  this  being  the 
case^  it  is  no  wonder  that  seafaring  ad- 
veoturers  became  notorioas  for  their  pre- 
datory or  ferocious  habits,  and  returned 
cnicUy  for  cruelty.  Bat  the  cntcrprtsing 
nations  of  Europe  were  not  to  be  checked 
by  the  tyranny  of  Spain.  The  marioen 
of  Europe  considered  the  New  World  aa  an 
Eldorado,  where  gold  and  treasures  were 
to  be  had  for  the  fetching.  The  harbarities 
and  crueltiea  committed  by  the  SpuniaTds 
were  circulated  as  populor  stories  and  pro- 
duced a  great  sensation.  A  Frenchman  of 
the  name  of  Mont  Bar  beeame  a  buccaneer 
on  purpose  to  avenge  his  nation^  and  killed 
so  many  Spaniard!  in  the  West  Indies  that 
he  obtained  the  name  of  the  Exterminator* 
Another  took  up  the  trade  because  he  was 
in  debt  and  wished  to  pay  his  creditors ; 
by  degrees,  many  respectable  men  joined 
the  association,  generally  dropping  their 
own  name  and  assuming  a  new  one — Peter 
of  Dieppe,  Bartolomeo  Portngne^,  Francois 
rOlonnaiSfandMansveltweredisting^uished 
captainit  of  baccaoeer  or  pirate  ahipa  in 
those  days;  but  the  fame  of  the  well  known 
Henry  Morgan,  a  Wehihman,  eclipsed 
them  all;  ke  waa  knighted  by  Charles  the 
Seeondi  and  made  Deputy- Governor  of 
Jamaica.  (P.  Cycl.  art.  Buccaneers.) 

Sir  Francis  Drake^  our  own  great 
circumnavigator,  may  be  considered 
as  one  of  the  greatest  in  this  line  :  of 
low  birtht  only  a.  common  seaman  at

on  a  private  venture  to  the  West 
Indies,  a  rover  on  the  wide  seas  in 
search  of  gain,  not  over  particular  about 
the  means  whereby  it  was  obtained 
(Camden  says  that  he  got  some  store  of 
money  in  the  West  Indies  **by  play- 
ing the  seaman  and  the  pirate"),  but

return.  It  Uhb  already  been  said  that

his  romance.  On  the  2nd  of  April  he

Priiirs ;  It  ifl  said  that  he  had  adopted 
their  habit  three  years  before;  it  was  a 
fri^^uent  practice  in  those  days*  His 
iiiind^  though  still  fiili  of  life  and  vi- 
vacity, was  perfectly  calm  and  serene ; 
he  was  prepared  and  ready  to  leave  a 
world  where  life  had  been  to  him  a

On  the  23<l  April,   1616,  when  G«1

The  saered  rcmaitis  of  this  reputed  Chris- 


tian woman — this  beloved  wife — this  sup- 
posed Chnstmn  martyr,  Tbcudosia,  were 
exhumed  from  the  privacy  of  the  tomb, 
and  were  exposed  to  the  gaze  of  a  morbid 
curiosity.  The  sepulchral  tablet  was  torn 
from  its  place.  They  were  subjected  to 
the  critical  scrutiny  of  a  Roman  tribunal 
— the  *  Congregation  of  Relic*.'  A  pos- 
thumous inqucit  was  held  on  the  body  by 
thia  tribunal  more  than  1300  years  after 
its  deciL-ase„  and  a  vf  rdict  was  pronounced 
—  that  the  remains  in  question  were  those 
of  Thendosia— thatTheodo«iawasaCbris;> 
tian — a  saint — a  tnartyr-— and  a  milive  qf 
Amiens  in  France, 

^' Th  its  judicial  sentence  of  the  Roman 
tribunal  wai  ratitied  by  the  Bishop  of  Rome 
himself.  Nor  wa^  this  all.  The  Pope 
decreed  that  the  name  of  Theudosia  shoutd 
now  he  added  to  the  ritual  of  the  church 
of  Amiens  ;t  that  an  office  should  be  in- 
serted there  in  her  honour  j  and  that  hence- 
forth madse5  should  be  said  in  her  name 
in  all  the  parishes  of  the  diocese  of  Amiens, 
and  an  annual  festival  be  celebrated  in  her 
memory. 

^^The  matter  did  not  rest  here.  These 
mortal  re  mains  >  having  been  disinterred 
from  the  Catacombs  of  Rome,  must  now 
take  a  longer  journey  :  they  must  be  trana- 
ported  to  Amiens  in  France.  Accordingly 
to  Amietif  Ihey  came,  where  they  were 
received,  on  the  ISth  October  last,  with 
extraordinary  pomp  of  maiie,  and  baDncrii 
and  illuminations,  and  processionSf  and 
triumphal  arches,  and  with  a  krge  con- 
course of  cardinals,  archbishops,  and  bi« 
shops, $  twenty-eight  in  number;  and  they 
were  carried  in  a  mag^i^ccnt  csr  of  tri- 
umph to  the  Cdthedral  Church  of  Amiens,

and  sermons^  were  there  (irenched  to 
itnm«nic  congrcgnlioDBj  coogratulatiixg  the 
inbabitnau  of  that  eriy  oa  the  ac<|ubitLon 
of  the  body  of  a  wiiit  and  martyr  born 
wtthia  their  waits,  and  asauring  tbem  that 
thc»c  rellci  might  b«  regarded  by  them  a» 
a  pledge  of  the  Ditinc  favour  and  protec- 
tion U)  the  citjf  and  exhorting  them  to 
imitate  Theudosia  in  tJicir  lives,  and  to 
invoke  Thcudoiia  in  their  prayem. 

**  Such  arc  the  rcaults  of  the  diicovcry. 

*•  Having  been  brought  to  thia  conclu- 
glon,  let  us  now  pauic  n  moment,  and 
review  the  pniceati  of  evidence  by  which 
we  have  been  conducted  thither.  What 
is  the  baiii  <»f  demonstration  on  which 
this  grand  superstructure  rests  ?  Is  any 
thing  known  of  Theudosia  ?  Abaolutcly 
nothing.  No  record  boa  been  cited  to 
show  that  she  was  a  Christian,  none  that 
afae  was  a  martyr.  The  belief  that  ihe 
was  90  reata  solely  on  the  nature  of  tho 
place  ia  which  she  waa  found,  and  on  the 
phial  discovered  near  the  remains.  None 
baa  been  adduced  that  she  was  a  iMr/^vff  q/ 

"  Her  history  ia  confined  to  the  Latin 
inscdption  rjuuted  above.  It  hai,  indeed, 
becrn  argued  by  Roman  anticjuaries,  it  has 
boon  resolved  by  ttie  Roman  Congrrgntion 
af  Relic«i  and  by  the  Ulihop  of  Rome 
himself^  that  this  inscription  is  luMcient 
to  evince  that  Tbeudosia  was  a  native  of 
Amiens.  And,  relying  on  their  authority, 
the  Vicar-Gcncrnl  of  Amiens,  M.  rAbbt'i 
Gerbet  (now  nominated  to  the  Episcoptil 
See  of  Perpignan),  baa  written  a  treatise 
in  honour  of  Theudosia,  as  a  patron  saint 
of  Amiens ;  and  the  Bishop  of  Amiens 


hat  reeeived  her  aa  such  in  the  cathedral 
of  that  city,  and  a  lari^c  number  of  bishopi, 
clergy,  and  people  flocked  to  Amieni  to 
welcome  her  on  the  12th  October  last; 
and  her  name  bos  been  added  to  tlie  Ca- 
lendar of  S flints,  and  will  be  vencraled 
year  after  year  on  a  solemn  anniveraary 
of  t lie  Church. 

'*  All  this  is  true.  And  here  ia  a  aad  and 
striking  example  (may  it  prove  a  lalutary 
warning  t)  of  the  nnbounded  confidence 
and  reckless  amlacity  with  which  the 
Church  of  Rome  now  speculates  on  the 
credulity  of  Europe,  and  dictates  acts  of 
worship  and  articles  of  foith*  Is  it  not 
also  an  evidence  of  her  infatuation,  and, 
perhaps,  nn  omen  of  her  fall  ? 

'^  Let  the  candid  reader  examine  the  in- 
scriptiou  in  question*  Tliere  be  will  see 
tbe  worda  Nat.  Ambiana.  The  anti- 
quaries of  Rome  translate  thera  thui. 
*  Born  at  Ambianum  or  Amiens.'  And 
they  apply  them  to  Theudosia.  And  the 
Bishop  of  Rome  sanctions  tht*  translation; 
he  anthorines  this  apfilication  ;  and  the 
Bishop  of  Amiens,  and  many  of  Hia  col- 
leagues and  clergy  and  people  act  upon 
it.  It  has  force  to  modify  their  Liturgy, 
and  is  made  the  groundwork  of  their 
prayers.  But  is  this  a  correct  translation  } 
In  the  solemn  work  of  religious  worship 
wise  mt\\  will  proceed  warily.  And  ii 
this  irantUtion  so  manif^^tly  true  that  ■ 
rcajsonable  inquirer  can  be  satisfied  with 
it  ?  And,  much  more  (on  tbe  suppoaitjon 
that  the  adoration  of  aatnta  is  in  any  caae 
not  unlawftil),  i.^  thii$  translation  so  cer* 
toio,  is  it  so  incontrovertible,  that  the 
church  and  diocese  of  Amieaf,  and  the 


*  The  first  wa«  preached  by  Cardinal  Wiseman,  and  in  the  published  report  of  hia 
Discourse  are  the  following  words  :  **  Elle  porte  done  avec  elle  le  flambeau  de  la  foi

By  a  remarkable  coincidence,  the  f^te  at  Amiens,  for  the  translation  of  Theudosia, 
in  which  the  Roman  Ecclcsiuiitic  who  hos  assumed  the  title  of  Archbishop  of  Wcat- 
tninitcr  took  so  prominent  a  part»  occurred  on  the  eve  of  the  anniversary  of  the  trana* 
lation  of  Kim;  Edward  the  Confessor,  the  day  on  which  some  who  acknowledge  the 
Cardinal  aa  tlieir  Archbishop  presented  themselves  at  Westminster  Abbey  in  order  to 
worship  at  tbs  shrine  of  Edward  the  Confcsjor.  The  scene  at  Amiens  is  a  rehearsal  of 
what  would  be  enacted  in  Eugl&ud,  if  their  will  were  coroplietl  with. 

Let  U3  be  thankful  for  the  timely  warning.

I  cit  J  > 

'  Auurcdly  not.  It  It  by  no  means  clear 
that  the  words  Nat,  Ail bi  ana  refer  to 
iTheudosia  at  all.  Indeed  the  laws  of 
[iSraminatical  coQStnictiun  would  seem  to 
forbid  auch  an  a ppti ration.  Wliatover 
I* may  be  the  powers  of  the  Papacy,  spiritual 
[•or  temporal,  it  cannot  cancel  the  canons 
t  of  criticism.  Whatever  it  may  do  for  the 
I  unity  of  the  Church,  it  cnnnot  deitroy  the 
\  concords  of  gTammar.  It  cannot  convert 
Ambiana  into  a  d^tire  case  and  moke  it 
pagree  with  Thendosiae.  It  cannot  force 
J  Ambiana  to  Jbiiofc  the  word  ^feciL/  A 
I  ^ntmmarian  of  old  said  to  a  Romaa  Em- 
Iperor,  '  Your  Majesty  may  give  the  free- 
(dom  of  city  to  merit  bnt  not  to  wards,* 
I  The  same  may  be  said  of  the  Pojw* 

But  suppose  that  Nat.  Ambiana 
I'^oet  refer  to  Theudosia.  What  follows  ? 
I  Rome  would  gain  nothing  from  that  con- 
leeasion*  She  can  never  prove  thereby 
rfhat  Tbeadosia  was  if  urn  in  the  city  qf 
yjimient.  She  can  never  justify  herself  in 
I  |>ropoanding  Theudosia  as  a  saint  of 
rAmiens,  to  be  venerated  as  such  in  the 
I  offices  of  religion,  with  the  homage  of  lU 
rinhnb  junta. 

It  is,  indeed t  stmnge  that  any  who 
bavc  breothed  the  air  of  Italy  and  Rome 
l^onld  ever  have  translated  the  words 
^  Nat-  Ambiana*  horn  at  Amient.  A 
[  native  of  France^  tempted  by  the  specious 
auaJogin  of  language^  might,  perhaps,  be 
betrayed  into  the  error  of  rendering  them 
*  nie  Amienoise/  And  Ibis  the  vene- 
rable Btthop  of  Amiens  has  done:  this 
the  Vicar- General  of  Amiens  has  done.* 


Let  them  be  pardoned  for  it.     But  that  a 

*  Roman  Congregation  of  Relica  *  should 
do  this ;  that  a  Bishop  of  Rome,  calling 
himself  infallible,  Bboalddo  it — this  wouid 
surpass  belief,  if  we  did  not  know  by 
experience  into  what  illusions  men  are 
betrayed,  when  they  have  wrought  them- 
selves up  to  the  presumptuons  imagination 
that  they  cannot  err. 

Nihil  eat  quod  credere  do  M 
Nnn  pOfc«3t,  quum  laadatur  m»  lOqtiA  potastas. 

**  But  what  would  Pope  Gregory  the  First 
have  saict,  if  some  Anglo-Saxon  convert, 
seeing  the  words  Nat,  Rom  ana  in  a 
Latin    inscription,    bed    rendered    them 

*  horn  dt  Rome  ?  ' 

'*  The  fact  is,  that  in  this  inscription 
concerning  Theudosia  the  word  Nat.  is 
not  an  abbreviation  for  Nata^  but  for 
Natione,     And  marvellous  it  is,  tbot  the 

*  Cougregation  of  Relics,^  ond  the  Roman 
ArcKtfologittSt  and  the  Bishop  of  Rome, 
should  have  forgotten  this,  when  they  hod 
before  them  several  examples  of  (he  smme 
abbreviation  in  old  Latin  inscriptioMf 
collected  even  in  such  common  buoks  at 
those  of  Gerrard,  Ursatus,  and  others. 
Nat.  Ambiana  does  not  signify  '  born  at 
Araiens  *  (a  miserable  solecism),  but  it 
signifies  '  on  Ambion  by  Nation ; '  Just  as 

*  Nat.  Pan/  signifies  *  a  Pannonian  by 
Nation/   and   '  Nat.   Dalm.'  signifies  a 

*  Dalmatian  by  Nation  ;*  and  other  aimilar 
instances  which  may  be  seen  in  the  volumes 
just  raeiitioned-t 

'*  Besides,  if  Theudosia  was  a  saint  and  a 
martyr  (as  the  Roman  antiquaries  imagine), 
it  may  easily  be  shown  from  other  con- 
siderations that  Nat.  Ambiana  could  not 
mean  *  bom  at  Ambiannm  or  Amient.* 
For  the  age  of  martyr  a  had  passed  away

btforg  Amlenu  rceetfatd  the  name  of  Am- 
bianum.  In  the  m;o  of  murtfrs  it  wae 
called  Samaoobria,  Samanobriva,  or  Saiua- 
robriva  (the  ntme  bj  vrhich  Cicero  calU 
it) I  Mtidwu  not  called  Ambianum  till  late 
in  the  fourth  century,*  probably  not  so 

*•  Let  it  then  be  granted  for  argument's 
sake,  that  the  words  Nat*  Aoibiana  do  refer 
to  Theudosia^  then  all  that  can  reaiJODably 
be  inferred  from  them  ia  this^  that  »he  waa 
an  Amhian  by  nation.  Now,  the  Ambiani 
inhabited  a  wide  tract  of  countiy  (as  the 
readers  of  Cvsor  and  Sirabo  will  remem- 
ber), and  it  would  be  as  absurd  to  infer 
that  a  man  was  bom  at  York,  because  be 
was  born  in  Yorkshire,  as  to  conclude 
that  a  woman  was  bom  at  Ambianum  (or 
Amien§),  because  she  was  an  Ambtanian 
bj  naiion.  Indeed,  there  is  nothing  what- 
ever to  flhow  that  Theudosia  might  not 
have  been  born  of  Ambian  parents  at 
B&met  where  she  waa  buried,  and  where, 
if  the  Church  of  Rome  had  not  been  blinded 
by  a  q>tnt  of  delusion,  and  if  she  had  not 
desired  to  blind  others,  the  mortal  remains 
of  Theudosia  would  stiil  be  resting  in 
peace. 

**  The  fact  that  inch  scenes  as  this  which 
has  now  been  described  should  be  enaoted 
in  a  large  mercantile  city  like  Amiens,  in 
the  middle  of  the  nineteenth  century,  and 
in  the  presence,  and  with  thcco>operation, 
of  nearly  thirty  of  the  most  distinguished 
members  of  the  Roman  hierarchy*  and  with 
a  vast  concourse  and  applause  of  nitmber- 
leia  spectators,  and  that  no  voice  should 
have  beeo  lifted  up  as  yet  to  reveal  its  true 
character,  and  that  tOEne  ezpresstons  of 
desire  hare  even  been  littered  in  Ed  gland 
that  such  scenes  should  be  imitated  here, 
is  one  which  may  well  suggest  sober,  seri- 
ous, and  solemn  refiections. 

•*  Tbe  present  age  boasts  itself  an  age  of 
intellectual   illumiaation.      It   vaunts   its 


own  shrewdness  and  sagadtf«  It 
to  sop  pose  that  by  means  of  mechanical 
skill,  aud  scientific  attainments,  and  com* 
mc-rcial  actitity,  and  diffttiion  of  secular 
knowledge,  it  may  laugh  to  scorn  the 
attempts  of  superstition.  Vain-glorious 
imagination  I  Such  an  assurance  ia  re- 
futed by  the  recent  f^te  of  AmienSi  and 
by  other  similar  phscuomena,  which  would 
almost  seem  to  indicate  that,  instead  of 
making  true  progress ^  Europe  is  reiapttrng 
into  tbe  ignorance  and  barbarism  of  the 
Dark  Ages.  May  it  not  be  feared  that, 
as  a  puniahment  for  our  own  intellectual 
arroganOBf  presumption,  and  pride,  Al- 
mighty God  is  blinding  the  eyes  of  those 
who  think  they  see  most  clearly,  that  the 
spiritual  vision  of  Europe  is  becoming 
dimmer  and  darker,  so  that  it  cannot  be- 
hold the  things  which  belong  to  its  peace  .^ 

*'  In  the  mean  time,  however,  it  ia  cer- 
tain that  sooner  or  later  such  deluttoni  as 
these  will  be  exposed  to  the  eyes  of  the 
world.  Then  what  a  triumph  will  have 
been  given  by  them  to  scepticism  I  And 
what  a  retribution  will  then  ensue !  The 
joys  of  the  recent  f^te  at  Amiens,  and  of 
otber  festivals  hke  them,  will  be  turned  to 
shame  and  sorrow.  The  intidcl  will  point 
to  them  and  say,  with  a  aneer  of  lavage 
sconi.  You  have  attempted  to  cheat  us. 
You  have  endeavoured — you  teachers  of 
religion — to  palm  a  fraud  upon  us  in  the 
name  of  Chriitionity  1  Talk  not  to  us  of 
Christianity,  If  preached  by  yo«,  it  roust 
be  false.  You  have  deluded  us  enough*

Joe  W(ilker«  the  famouB  mountaineer,  who 
I>aas«d  nearly  through  ito  centre  in  the 
winter  of  1850.  But  Itttle,  therefore,  ia 
known  regarding  it ;  but  that  little  h  ex- 
oeedtDgly  interesting,  and  AlU  the  mind 
with  eagerness  to  know  more.  From  Cap- 
tain Walker  we  have  leathered  many  par- 
ticulars regflrding  his  celeh rated  trip,  aud 
the  chaxacter  of  thia  mysterioua  land^ 
which  have  never  before  been  brought  to 
light.  There  is  no  lack  of  atreams  within 
it ;  the  Rio  Coloraflo  Chiquito,  or  Little 
Red  River,  runs  entirely  across  it,  about 
100  miles  to  the  north  of  the  Gila,  and 
almost  parallel  to  it,  and  empties  into  thi' 
Colorado.  About  ISO  miles  still  further 
north  the  San  Juan  foltows  exactly  the 
fame  courae  aa  the  Little  Red  River^  and 
empties  in  Grand  Rivcr»  the  most  im- 
portant branch  of  the  Colorado.  Grand 
River  itself  pursues  a  courise  a  little  south 
of  west  across  the  northern  part  of  the 
bofin ;  while  the  Avonkaree,  a  large  river 
discovered  by  Mr.  Beale,  Green  River* 
and  the  Rio  Virgen,  are  all  large  stresnis, 
which  drain  the  oortbern  mountain  rim, 
and  run  in  a  southerly  direction  into  the 
Colorado. 

The  great  basin  between  the  Colorado 
and  the  Rio  Grande  ia  an  immense  table- 
land, broken  towards  the  Gila  and  the  Rio 
Grande  by  detached  i>ierras.  Almost  all 
th€  streams  run  through  deep  canons. 
The  country  ia  barren  and  deaolate,  and 

P  entirely  uninhabited.  But  thongb  now  so 
bleak  and  forbidding,  strewn  all  around 
may  be  seen  the  evidence  that  it  was  om:e 
peopled  by  a  civilised  and  thickly  settled 
population.     They  b&ve  long  since  diaap- 

■  p«ared«  but  their  handiwork  still  remainii 
to  attest  their  former  greatness.  Captain 
Walker  aaaurei  na  that  the  country  from 
the  Colorado  to  the  Rio  Grande^  between 
the  Gila  and  San  Juan,  is  full  of  ruined 
habitations  and  cities,  moat  of  which  are 
OD  the  table-land.  Although  he  had  fre- 
cjuently  met  with  crumbling  niaisea  of 
masonry  and  nnmberleas  apecimeos  of 
antique  potteryt  such  aa  have  been  noticed 
in  the  immigrant  trail  south  of  the  Gila, 
it  was  not  until  his  last  trip  across  that 
ha  eTer  saw  a  structure  standing.  On  that 
oocaalon  he  had  penetrated  about  midway 
from  the  Colorado  into  the  wilderness,  and 
had  encamped  near  the  Little  Red  River, 
with  the  Sierra  Blanca  looming  up  to  the 
south,  wh^i  he  noticed  at  n  little  distance 
an  object  that  induced  him  to  eiamine 
further.  Aa  he  approached,  he  found  it 
to  be  a  kind  of  citadel,  around  which  lay 
the  ruins  of  a  city  more  than  a  mile  in 
I  leDf^th.     It  was  located  on  a   geotJe  de- 

^m    clivity  that  nloped  towards  Red  River,  and 
^B  the  lines  of  the  streets  cou^ld  be  dtatinctly 


traced,  running  regularly  at  rifbt  ili|>le9 
with  each  other.  The  houses  had  all  been 
built  of  stones,  but  had  been  reduced  to 
ruins  by  the  action  of  some  great  heat, 
which  had  evidently  passed  over  the  whole 
country.  It  was  not  an  ordinary  confla- 
gration, bnt  must  have  been  some  fierce 
furnace-like  blast  of  fire,  similar  to  that 
issruing  from  a  volcano,  as  the  stones  were 
burnt — ^some  of  them  almost  cinderedi 
others  glazed,  as  if  melted.  This  appear- 
ance was  visible  in  every  ruin  he  met  with. 
A  storm  of  fire  seemed  to  have  swept  over 
the  whole  face  of  the  country,  and  the 
iuhabitants  must  have  fallen  before  it.  In 
the  centre  of  this  city  wc  refer  to  rose 
abruptly  a  rock  twenty  or  thirty  feet  high, 
upon  the  top  of  which  stood  a  portion  of  the 
walls  of  what  had  once  been  an  immense 
bnilding.  Tlie  outline  of  the  building  waa 
still  distinct,  altbougli  only  the  northern 
angle,  with  walls  fifteen  or  eighteen  feet 
long,  and  ten  feet  high,  were  standing. 
Thesei  walls  were  constructed  of  stone,  well 
quarried  and  well  buUt.  All  the  south  end 
of  the  building  seemed  to  have  been  burnt 
to  cinders,  and  to  have  sank  to  a  mer« 
pile  of  rubbish.  Even  the  rock  on  which 
it  was  built  appeared  to  hare  been  partially 
fiised  by  the  heat.  Captain  Walker  spent 
some  time  in  examining  the  interesting 
spot.  He  traced  many  of  the  streets  and 
the  outlines  of  the  houses,  but  conld  find 
no  other  wall  standing.  Aa  often  aa  he 
had  seen  ruioa  of  this  character,  he  bad 
never  until  tliis  occasion  discovered  any  of 
the  implements  of  the  anctent  people. 
Here  he  found  a  number  of  handmilla^ 
similar  to  those  still  used  by  the  Pueblaa 
and  the  Mexicans  for  grinding  their  cnrn. 
They  were  made  of  light  porous  rock,  and 
consisted  of  two  pieces  about  two  feet 
long  and  ten  inches  wide,  the  one  hollowed 
out,  and  the  other  made  convex  like  a 
roller  to  fit  the  concavity.  They  were  the 
only  articles  thnt  had  resisted  the  heat. 
No  metals  of  any  kind  were  found.  Strewn 
all  around  might  bo  seen  numerous  frag- 
ments of  crockery,  sometimes  beantifuUy 
carved,  at  others  painted.  This,  however, 
waa  not  peculiar  to  thia  spot,  as  he  had 
seen  antique  pottery  in  every  part  of  the 
country,  from  San  Juan  to  the  Gira. 

Captain  Walker  continued  his  journey, 
and  noticed  several  more  ruins  a  little  off 
hiu  route  next  day,  but  he  could  not  stop 
to  eiamiue  them*  On  this  side  of  the 
Colorado  he  has  never  seen  any  remains, 
exoept  of  the  present  races.  The  Indiana 
have  no  traditions  relative  to  the  ancient 
people  once  thickly  settled  in  this  region. 
They  look  with  wonder  upon  thcfio  re- 
mains, but  know  nothing  of  their  origin.

trip  acrois  the  continent  he  discovered  in 
the  midat  of  tbe  wilderneas  nortk  of  tbe 
Gila  what  appeared  to  be  a  strong  fort, 
the  walls  of  great  thickneas,  built  of  stone. 
He  traversed  it^  and  found  it  contained 
forty-two  rooms.  In  theviciuity  numerous 
balls  of  hard  clay,  from  the  sixe  of  a 
bullet  to  that  of  a  grape  shot,  were  met 
with.  What  was  sini^ular  about  them  was 
the  fact  that  frequently  ten  or  twenty  were 
stuck  together  like  a  □  umber  of  bullets 
ruQ  out  of  hnlf-a -dozen  connecting  moulds^ 
or  like  a  whole  baking  of  rolls.  It  is 
difllcalt  to  say  what  thcs€  #ere  intended 


for.  They  were  so  hard,  however,  that 
the  smaller  ones  could  be  discharged  from 
a  gun.  And  now  it  remains  for  the  anti- 
quary to  explore  this  most  interesting 
region  in  the  very  heart  of  our  country, 
and  to  say  who  were  the  people  that  in- 
habited it.  They  may  have  been  the  an* 
oestors  of  the  Aitecs  whom  Corte^i  fonnd 
in  Mexico,  for  they  were  known  to  have 
come  from  the  north.  Tradition  rebtes 
that  they  sailed  out  frora  their  northern 
homes  directed  by  their  prophets  not  to 
cease  their  march  till  they  came  across  an 
eagle  aittiiig  upon  a  cactus  with  a  serpent 
in  its  clawd.  This  they  found  where  the 
city  of  Mexico  now  stands^  and  there  they 
established  their  dominion.  The  legend  is 
still  preserved  in  the  device  upon  the 
Meiicao  dollar.  Some  remnants  of  tbe 
Aatecs  still  remained  within  a  few  years 
past  at  the  ruined  city  of  Grand  Quivera^ 
or  Pecos,  in  tbe  wilderness  of  New  Mejtico.

Mr.  Urban, — There  is  no  epithet  ap-

sion "  Merry  Enffiand,''  Perhaps  some 
of  your  correspondents  can  inforiu  me^  at 
what  time  and  in  what  manner  Ibis  appro* 
priation  arose.  I  do  not  remember  the 
phrase  in  any  of  our  elder  writers.  It  may 
be  observed,  that  the  word  merry  is  used 
in  all  our  old  authors  with  the  sense  of 
pletuant,  as  well  as  tljat  of  j<i^ut. 

That  made  thmn  in  a  cUee  for  to  taria.

Tbe  eipression  '*  merry  weather,'*  with 
the  surname  derived  from  it,  is  another 
instance  of  this.

Bui  there  can  be  Ultle  doubt  that  in 


the  phrase  *'  Merry  England,"  the  epithet 
was  intended  to  describe^not  the  agreeable- 
nesB  of  the  country,  hut  the  wealth  and 
prosperity  of  its  inhabitants,  as  exhibited 
especially  in  their  foodnesa  for  social  en- 
joyments. Various  writers  during  tbe 
middle  ages  bear  testimony  to  the  pros- 
perity enjoyed  by  the  roaaa  of  the  people 
of  England,  as  compared  with  the  condi- 
tion of  the  same  classes  abroad.  Of  the 
convivial  habits  of  our  ancestors  of  tbe 
reign  of  Henry  VII.  the  following  curious 
notice  occurs  in  the  Italian  description  of 
England  prepared  by  the  Venetian  em- 
bassy of  Mfl  6,  and  published  by  the  Camden 
Society.  '*  The  English  take  great  plea- 
aure  in  having  a  quantity  of  excellent 
victual,  and  also  in  remaming  a  long  time 
at  table,  but  are  sparing  of  wine,  when 
they  drink  it  at  their  ovro  ezpeme.  Few

THKSRAL  OF  BROTUEIt  JOHN  TH  YNQUtlL. 

Who  this  individtial  was,  It  may  be  difficiiU 
now  to  discover  \  but  the  name,  or  a  very 
similar  one,  ii  not  wholly  unknown  in 
Iriah  monastic  history.  About  the  year 
II59|  TuNDAL,  or  TuNGAL,  a  nativa  of 
Cork}  though  some  aay  orCajhel,  fell  into 
an  ecstasy  for  three  days,  and  on  Ilia  re- 
covpry  dictated  to  hi<?  friends  around  him 
an  account  of  his  visions  (Sancttolog.  MS. 
in  Bibl.  Cott.  referred  to  in  Smitli's  Cork, 
vol.  ii*  p.  420  and  note).  The  owner  of 
the  seal  before  us  lived  two  centuriea  after- 
wardii  and  of  course  caanot  be  identified 
with  him. 

The  garden  in  which  this  se-al  was  dis- 
covered forms  part  of  tha  site  of  the  din- 
solved  Franciscan  friary,  commonly  caJled 
the  Soutb  Abbey, of  YoughaL  Thia house 
was  the  first  of  its  kind  in  Ireland,  and, 
according  to  the  Four  Maaters,  was  founded 
in  the  year  1224  by  Maurice  FitiGcrald, 
iccond  Baron  Opholey.  It  is  said  that  he 
originally  designed  the  building  for  a  castle, 
but  chan[fed  it  into  a  religious  foundation 
from  the  following  circumstance  i  the 
workmen  who  were  digging  for  the  cattle- 
site,  on  the  eve  of  a  festival,  begged  of 
their  employer  a  piece  of  money  to  drink 
his  liealtb,  and  lie  directed  liis  eldest  ton 
to  give  it.  But  the  young  man^  so  far 
from  obeying  hfa  father's  command,  sternly 
reproved  the  poor  labourers ;  and  hi*  father 
became  so  coneerned  for  this  opening  pres- 
tife,  that  be  altered  his  design,  and  re- 
solved to  erect  a  house  for  Grey  Friara. 
At  the  Dissolution,  this  Franc iican  friary 
was  granted  to  George  I  sham,  by  letters 
patent  bearing  date  16  June,  15fl7,  which 
|rant  wa^  soon  after  purchased  of  bim  by 
Richard  Boyle,  the  first  Earl  of  Cork. 

The  seal,  having  beeo  discovered  on  the 
site  of  a  house  of  Franciscans,  might  natu- 
rally be  assigned  to  a  member  of  that 
order;  and  we  would^  at  the  first  impulse, 
conjecture  that  it  was  lost  by  il*  owner  as 
he  walked  or  worked  in  the  gardens  of  his 
monastery.  The  Sacred  Hearty  however, 
was  the  emblem  of  the  Augustinians  (see 
"  Die  Attribiite  der  HeiUgeo.''  Hanover, 
IS43),  who  for  the  most  part  bore  it 
**  flaming/'  but  sometimes  pierced  with 


a  single  arrow,  and  sometimes  with  two 
fljrrows  Bftltier  -  wise  *  The  wedge  -  like 
•word,  as  here,  is  another  variation,  mark- 
ing, perhaps,  some  disttnotion  of  hiIbi 
though  not  of  order. 

And  now  the  inquiry  is,  What  do  W6 
know  of  the  AngustiQians  of  Yougbal  ? 
Archdall  does  not  mention  any  establish* 
meat  of  theirs  at  tbia  place,  yet  there  is 
every  reason  for  believing  that  aach  existed* 
Friar  Lubin,  in  bis  valuable  history  of  the 
bodvj  the  Orbu  August inianus^  gives  us  a 
map  of  Irelandft  specifying  the  localities 
where  bouiws  of  the  order  existed.  In 
Munster  we  have  at  the  mouth  of  this 
BUekwater  "  Voateuth,*'  i.e.  The  Friary 
at  Youghal,  marked  along  with  the  adjoin* 
ing  monasteries  of  Ardmore,  Lismore,  and 
Dangarvan,  but  the  historian  gives  us  no 
particalars.  The  existence  of  the  eata- 
blishment  at  Youghal,  it  is  true,  is  contro- 
verted by  the  able  anonymous  compiler  of 
an  Irish  Monastieon,  printed  in  London 
by  Willittra  Mcars,  in  1722,  who,  speaking 
of  houses  erroneously  assigned  to  Angus- 
tinians  (p.  3'23)»  writes:  '*Youghin  mo- 
nastery is  likewise  only  vf  the  aforesaid 
Friar  Lubin's  discovering,  without  men- 
tioning the  foundpr,  or  the  time  of  its 
foundation ;  and  I  am  well  assured  that 
tliere  were  never  any  convenu  of  religious 
men  at  Yougil,  besides  those  of  the  Domi- 
nicans and  Franciscans.**  Bat  the  writer 
previously  (p.  311)  had  admitted  a  self- 
evident  truth,  which  must  weigh  with  us 
in  receiving  hts  authority,  cspecialiy  when 
so  dogmatieally  given  :  *'  It  is  possible,** 
he  says,  **  that  Friar  Lubia  might  have 
had  some  informations  which  are  unkoowii 
to  me,**  Let  us  now  see  how  far  Lubiii*a 
record  is  borne  out  by  fact. 

The  religious  edifices  of  Youghal  have 
occupied  your  correspondent's  attention 
for  the  last  four  ycaxa,  and  have  been 
repeatedly  subjected  to  minute  investiga- 
tion^  with  the  object  of  compihng  a  Mo-" 
nwfticon  BochotlenM^.  In  the  course  of 
these  researches,  the  name  of  an  old  un- 
frequented road  attracted  attention,  and 
ultimately  led  to  the  discovery  of  what  be 
bc^lieveito  be  the  ruins  of  the  house  alluded 
to  by  the  Auguetiniian  writer  Friar  Lubin. 
The  road  is  near  the  town  of  YoughaV  *t 
the  south  aide,  and  is  called  Kilcoran,  i.«. 
Cilt  Kttarain,  The  Church  of  Koran,  Cw-

I  mttached  to  a  chieftiin's  house,  which  was 

f  eomidpred  a  place  of  sanctuary.     An  exa- 

\  mination  of  this  field  brought  to  light  a 

[holy  well,  stopped  up  with  stones,  and 

^  overshadowed  by  a  gigantic  gnarled  old 

thorn-tree  ;  and  near  it  several  mots-grown 

ftnd  weather-worn  pieces  of  worked  free- 

I  atone^  eyidcntly  fragments  of  a  religious 

I  building.    Five  of  these  atones  were  roould- 

[  «d,  three  with  Norman  beads.    Two  were 

\  ]i«rt9  of  door-jambs,  the  rest  were  pieces 

I  of  windows,  a  jamb,  a  roullion,  and  part 

\  of  a   circular  arch.       Around   spread   a 

I  !»orial- ground,  often  used  in  the  recollec- 


tion of  the  peasants  as  a  place  of  sepultQTe 
for  unbsptlzed  infants,  like  the  cntluraght 
or  kttit  of  Irel»nd,  which  are  deemed  un- 
coDsecrated  ground.  Tlie  patriarch  of  the 
locality,  a  farmer  named  Magncr,  now  in 
his  84th  year,  declared  that  he  always 
heard  that  an  Augustiniaa  aioaaatery  ex- 
jited  here,  and  named  that  order  of  Ere- 
mites, without  any  leading  question  being 
put  to  him.  The  site  is  very  near  the 
mouth  of  the  Black  water. 

But  bow  came  a  seal  of  the  Augustiniaus 
into  the  garden  or  grounds  of  the  Fran- 
ciscan fnary  ?  It  is  well  known  that  those 
early  Irish  establishments  which  followed 
the  rule  of  Colnmba,  Colombanas,  Ailbe, 
or  Declsn,  were  compelled,  after  the 
Anglo-Norman  conquest,  to  incorporate 
themselTes  with  bouses  more  immediately 
under  the  control  of  the  pspacyi  and  the 
Kiicorsn,  or  Sbanavine,  monastery  may 
have  been  subjected  to  this  change.  Per- 
haps the  brethren  were  "  drafted,'*  as  we 
might  say,  into  the* Franciscan  bouse;  and 
then  brother  John  TnTJCOHrL  brought 
his  seal  with  him,  and  lost  it  or  threw  it 
moodily  away  in  the  nook  where,  it  wai 
recently  found.  The  seal  may  be  assigned 
to  the  early  part  of  the  1 4th  century.

£sf BNDATION  OW  A  PasSAOB  IN  SHAKSPEBK^S  CoatOLANUA. 


Mr.  Uhban*— So  much  knowledge  and 
I  Ingenuity  has  been  expended  on  the  dis- 
puted passages  of  Shakspere  that  it  re- 
qnirea  some  daring  to  hrmg  forward  any 
conjecture  that  may  flash  across  one's 
mind,  as  one  can  hardly  feel  sure  that  it 
18  not  been  anticipated  and  rejected  ns 
Dwortby  ^  ootice.  Even  with  this  fear 
before  my  eyes,  I  venture  to  lay  before 
you  an  emendation  that  has  occurred  to 
me  of  a  much- vexed  passage  in  Coriolanus. 
Aufidina  (Act  V.  Scene  5),  tpeaking  of 
CorioUniis^  lays, 

I  took  liiiu  : 
Hide  bim  JolJit  tervwat  with  me :  gav«  tiiai  way 
In  aO  hia  own  desires :  aayt  lot  htm  cliocw 
Out  of  mv  1UǤ,  bis  prqjects  to  aeccfinpltilif 
liy  best  slid  freflheat  men :  wtt'iI  his  dsalgfuaents 
la  my  own  penon  :  hotp  r«  rt«p  thtfyum 
Wkkh  hi  4i4  <n4  aU  ki*. 

These  two  last  lines  have  given  much 
trouble  to  the  commentators.  One  of 
them  substitutes  ear  (plough)  for  end: 
another  (writing,  if  I  mistake  not,  in  a 
late  number  of  Btackwood^s  Magazine) 
adopts  the  reading  earj  but  transposes  it 
With  reajy/  ao  that  the  lines  run  thus  : 


holp  to  MT  th«  flima 
Whttli  Ut  aia  t-tap  all  his. 

Now,  in  Airs  Well  that  Ends  Well 
(Act  1.  Scene  3),  the  Clown,  speaking  of 
the  friends  who  he  expects  will  save  him 
the  trouble  of  begetting  his  own  children, 
uses  the  same  metaphor.  **  He  that  eart 
my  land,  spares  my  team,  and  gives  me 
leave  to  inn  the  crop." 

May  we  not  from  this  speech  of  the 
Clown  borrow  the  word  inn  and  substitute 
it  for  end  in  the  speech  of  Aufidlus,  which 
will  then  run  thus  ? 

holp  to  reap  tlia  Csma 
VVlilcU  be  did  inn  all  bit. 

Possibly, — though  this  I  advance  with 
great  hesitation,  as  the  next  ensuing  word 
begins  with  a  vowel, — ^we  might  for  the 
sake  of  euphony  write  ind^  which  is  a 
yet  nearer  approach  to  the  original  read- 
ing. I  do  not,  however,  by  much  stress 
on  the  orthography  ;  the  meauiog  of  the 
word,  which  Johnson  gives  as  **  house, 
put  under  cover,'*  will  render  the  expres- 
sion of  AuJidius  perfectly  iatelligthle.

The  various  meiTiorials  which  have  been

aeuna  to  inJycc  them  to  purchase  for  the 
nation  the  unriv  ailed  Fauateti  Coiled  ion 
of  Anglu-Sssan  Antiquities,  have  had  no 
weight  with  that  impassive  body.  Tbougli 
mddresaed  In  the  most  urgent  terma  by  the 
Society  of  Antiquaries,  tlic  ArchsKological 
Institute,  &ad  by  their  own  officers  of  the 
Department  of  Antiquities,  tliey  have  de- 
murred to  the  expenditure  of  a  sum  "which 
would  be  deemed  ingignificnnt  in  the  pur* 
chftae  of  A  single  picture  or  statue  of  auy 
importance,  and  that  in  the  co*e  of  the 
very  department  of  our  National  Antiqui- 
tiea  which  haa  recently  been  opened  with 
much  congratulation,  but  with  empty 
shelves »  and  which  required  aomo  such 
nucleus  to  set  it  forward  ou  a  respectable 
footing.  The  part  in  which  the  constituted 
guardians  of  our  national  collections  have 
to  iignally  failed  has  been  supplied  by  the 
patriotism  of  Mn  Jose[>h  Mayer  of  Liver- 
poott  whose  museum  is  at  all  times  libe- 
rally opened  to  the  public*  We  understand 
thiit  the  sum  he  has  generously  expended 
on  this  object  ia  800L,  and  we  are  happy  to 
liear  that  he  has  placed  the  disposal  of  the 
collection,  and  of  the  valuable  MS.  books 
in  which  the  whole  u  carefully  and  ex- 
actly described,  in  the  experienced  ban  da 
of  Mr,  C  Roach  Smith. 

It  is  very  pleasing  to  observe  the  great 
and  general  interest  which  our  American 
cousins  now  take  in  tracing  their  English 
ancestry.  The  annual  meeting  of  the  Neitf 
England  Historic  Genealofficai  Socititf 
was  held  at  Boston  on  the  4th  of  January. 
Wm.  Whiiing,  esq,  the  President,  con- 
gratulated the  membera  on  their  increase 
of  number,  and  refeired  to  the  very  vahtabic 
additions  to  the  library  during  the  past 
year.  **  Every  one  who  could  trace  his 
descent  tu  the  early  New  Englandt'rs 
ahould  (he  said)  feel  an  honest  pride  at 
having  sprung  from  any  of  those  who  came 
to  either  of  the  colonies  in  the  early  vessels. 
The  study  of  the  genealogy  of  families 
tended  to  perpetuate  a  reverence  for  the 
characters  of  our  ancestors,  and  to  awaken 
the  endeavour  to  imitate  their  inflexible 
virtues."  The  Society  has  published  seven 
7 


volumes  of  the  *'  New  England  Historic 
and  Genealogical  Register/'  containing  a 
large  amount  of  valuable  historical  matter. 
This  work  is  under  the  editorial  charge  of 
Samuel  G.  Drake,  esq.  author  of  the  His* 
tory  of  Boston.  Several  Committees  were 
chosen :  one  for  the  purpose  of  procuring 
funds  to  purchase  EnglLsh  local  hiitorieSt 
for  which  there  is  a  daily  increaaing  in- 
quiry. Another  was  appointed  to  under- 
take the  compilation  of  an  extensive  Ge- 
nealogical Dictiouary  of  New  England  for 
the  seventeenth  century. 

Mr-  J.  E.  Lee,  the  founder  and  maiu 
supporter  of  the  CatrleoH  Antiquarian 
Atmciaiion,  la  making  an  effort  to  liqui- 
date the  debt  remaining  upon  the  erection 
of  the  convenient  and  appropriate  Museum 
in  that  town.  It  amounts  only  to  fifty 
pounds,  and  we  should  be  glad  if  by  direct- 
ing attention  to  his  proposals  we  can  at 
all  further  the  object  he  has  in  view.  He 
requests  on  the  one  band  the  contribution 
of  objects  of  art,  books,  pictures,  prints, 
&c,  and  on  the  other  proposea  that  the 
same  shall  be  dispersed  again  by  1 00  tickets 
to  be  issued  at  ten  shillings  each.  As 
upwards  of  sixty  tickets  are  already  taken, 
we  trust  that  a  little  more  oL  that  per- 
severance for  which  Mr.  Lee  is  so  well 
known,  will  accompliih  his  wishes.  When 
that  is  done,  he  promises  thut  the  Society 
shall  be  gratified  by  the  publication  of  the 
proceedings  of  their  meeting  in  August 
last  at  Caldicot  Castle,  accooipanied  by 
several  etchings,  tllustrative  of  its  archi- 
tecture. 

A  Society  has  been  formed  under  the 
secretaryship  of  Mr.  W.  F.  Ainsworth, 
Dr.  Benisch,  and  Dr.  TumbuU,  with  the

Five  or  six  years  ago,  the  more  ancient 
Records  in  her  Majesty's  Geaerai  Registm- 
^^ffoute  /or  Scotland,  mt  Edinburgh,  were 
^Kftiade  accessible,  free  of  any  charge,  for 
^Btoorposes  of  historical,   antiquarian,  and 
^Dtermrj  research.     Tlie  privilege  has  been 
^EAighly  appreciated — the   liberal   example 
thus  set  in  Scotland  having  since  been  fol- 
lowed in  England  ;  und,  in  order  to  make 
it  more  generally  available,  an  officer  has 
now,  we  hear,  been  appointed  to  the  spe- 
cial charge  of  this  department  of  the  public 
service.     The  geetleraan  nominated  to  the 
office,  Mr.  Joseph  Robertson,  has  entered

John  Disney,  esq,  P.S.A.  whohaa  lately 
Fo  mnnificently  founded  a  professorship 
and  museum  uf  archseology  at  Cambridge, 
has  signified  his  intention  of  founding,  in 
connexion  with  the  Cosmos  Institute,  a 
ScAoot  of  P^avigation.  There  is  at  present 
only  one  public  school  of  this  kind  for  the 
jlirst  port  in  the  world. 

A  Conference  has  been  held  at  the  resi- 
dence of  the  Chevalier  Bunsen,  on  the 
subject  of  a  CMmtm/  MpkabtL  Among 
those  present  were  Sir  John  Hen  die  I,  Sir 
Charles  Trevelyan,  Professor  Owen,  Dr. 
Max  MilUer,  Dr.  Pertz  of  Berlin,  and  other 
distinguished  men  of  science  and  literature, 
with  the  Revs.  Henry  Venn,  Trestrail,  and 
other  rep  reset!  taitves  of  missionary  socie< 
lies.  The  Chevalier  Bunsen  stated  the 
object  of  the  Conference,  which  was  to 
consult  as  to  the  practicability  of  adopting 
a  uniform  system  of  expressing  foreign 
alphabets  by  Roman  characters.  The  ad- 
vantages of  such  a  system,  both  ficicotitic 
and  practical,  were  urged,  the  former  in 
connection  with  the  study  of  ethnology  and 
philology,  and  the  latter  chiefly  in  connec- 
tion with  the  great  Protestant  missiooary 
enterprises  of  the  present  time.  Professor 
Le pains  and  Dr.  Max  Milller  have  devoted 
much  time  to  Uiek  subject,  founding  their 
phonology  on  the  physiological  principles 
ably  eipounded  by  Dr,  Johannes  Miiller, 
and  publii^hed  in  the  Transactions  of  the 
Royal  Academy  of  Sciences  at  Berlin. 
To  the  soundness  of  Dr.  J.  MQller's 
researches  Professor  Owen  bore  testi- 
mony, and  expressed  his  agreement  with 
the  results.  Any  differences  in  the  organs 
of  speech  in  various  races  of  men  were 
too  trifial  to  present  any  difllculty  for 
practical  arrangement  of  alphabets.  Sir 
John  Herschcl,  in  the  course  of  his  ob- 
servations, said  Chat  too  much  exactness 
must  not  be  attempted  in  defining  the 
phonetic  symbols,  for  the  vowel  sounds 
were  practically  in  finite,  from  the  flexibility 
of  the  organs  of  voice.  Ifi  English  he 
thought  we  had  at  least  thirteen  vowels. 
Mr.  Norria  thought  there  were  more,  and 
Mr.  Cull  seventeen.  Sir  John  Herachel 
thought  that  a  certain  definite  number  of 
typical  signs  must  be  selected,  leaving 
each  nation  or  province  to  attach  to  them 
their  own  shades  and  variety  of  sound.  A 
distinct  graphic  sign  for  every  sound  would 
be  impossible.  Dr.  Max  Milller^s  pro- 
posal is  to  use  the  Roman  alphabet,  with 
the  addition  of  italics,  for  certain  modifi- 
cations of  vowel  aoundsi  and  also  some

Thii  book  conioins  the  subfttnncc  of  a 
journal  kept  during  a  vbit  to  Paris  in  the 
autumn  of  loKt  year;  and,  tbough  no  iisme 
appeam  on  the  title-page,  we  gather  from 
a  note  in  p,  12  that  it  proceeda  from  a 
dignitary  of  the  abbey-church  of  Wett- 
initister,— w(?ll  known  for  hi*  actife  jtesl 
in  the  cause  of  the  Church  of  England  and 
in  every  good  work  connected  tberewith» 
— who  previously,  in  I84ri,  published  "A 
Diary  in  France,''  written  during  the  relgQ 
of  Lonia- Philippe.  Dr*  Wordsworth's 
primary  object  in  hin  last  vifiit  to  Pari« 
appears  to  hn\e  been  to  examine  the  MS.  of 
the  Philoaophniiienn,  attributed  to  Hippo- 
lytust  which  is  preserved  in  the  National 
Library ;  but  he  aluio  made  it  his  business 
to  viiil  churches  and  schoolst  and  other 
institutions,  and  to  make  iicrious  inq|uirics 
in  erery  accessible  or  opportune  quarter* 
which  could  aford  him  information  on  tbc 
preaent  state  of  religion  in  France.  The 
result  is  by  no  means  ene^mruf^iti^  to  those 
who  aspire  ftir  the  progre«a  of  CliTistijinity, 
and  for  the  future  pence  and  amendment 
of  society. 

**  It  would  appear  (he  remarks)  that  at 
the  prcient  critical  period  a  large  class  of 
the  French  people  imagines  that  the  na- 
tional religion — the  Roman  Catholic  creed 
—is  not  fobtered  by  the  higher  powers 
because  Ihcy  believe  in  it  as  a  rcvelalion 
ftfom  heaven,  snd  therefore  true,  and  Me- 
CMsary  to  he  received  and  propagated  ; 
but  is  worn  by  them  as  a  mask,  and  used 
AS  an  instrument  of  government— an  in- 
genious and  elTcctive  machine  of  Machia- 
veltan  polit7.  Tbey  etiispect  the  civil  and 
eeclciitaslical  powers  of  acting  a  potitinal 
part,  in  order  to  serve  their  own  secular 


ends  \  they  charge  the  higher  claaaes  with 
hypocrisy  and  duplicity.  Thus  the  m&ntt 
influence  of  the  Stale  and  Church  may 
perhaps  be  silently  declining,  even  at  a 
time  when,  by  their  combination,  Cfaey 
seem  to  be  strong*  And  there  may  be 
reason  In  tbiak  that  the  time  may  not  be 
distant,  when  the  people  may  rise  against 
those  wlio,  ai  they  suppose,  bi?e  oonipired 
together  to  delude  and  oppress  them« 

"  The  papal  element  in  the  French 
Church  makes  tt  very  difficiilt  for  the  tivil 
power  to  deal  with  it.  Louia* Philippe 
feared  and  [iteriecuted  itaa  an  enemy,  and, 
in  order  to  diiarm  and  cripple  it,  pa- 
tronised lihcral  measurei  and  developed 
liberal  powers,  which  eventually  became 
too  strong  for  his  own  government ;  and 
so  lie  precipitated  his  own  fall.  Napo- 
leon III.  pursues  a  ditfereut  policy;  he 
favoura  the  hierarchy  and  the  church,  and 
encourages  it  to  develop  its  own  principles. 
But  is  it  not  to  be  apprehended  that  the 
aame  papal  element  which  made  Louis- 
Philippe  jealous  of  the  Church,  will  now, 
being  chi'ritihed  by  the  Stata,  render  the 
government  of  Napoleon  111.  obnoxious 
to  the  uatioti,  and,  by  its  extravagances 
and  impojjtures,  provoke  and  strengthen 
the  cause  of  infidelity  and  revolution,  and 
prepare  the  way  for  the  downfall  of  his 
dy nafity  ?  Until  the  papal  clement  is 
eliminated  from  iht.'  Church  of  France,  the 
church  can  never  be  a  source  of  strength 
to  the  throne  ;  it  will  rather  be  a  cause  of 
peril  to  it.  But  if  that  were  done,  then 
tlie  church  atid  throne  might  aid  each 
other,  and  flourish  together.^' 

In  a  subaequeiit  place  Dr.  Wordsworth 
remarks : 

"  It  seems  that  the  pre&eat  crisis  is  re- 
uiftikublc   in   this   respect :    oow,  in  tlie

mitidle  of  tlie  iiineteentU  century,  France, 
and  a  considerable  portion  of  Europe,  \b 
fatllng  back  into  the  modea  of  thought 
and  action  of  the  twelfth  and  thirteentli 
centuries  with  regard  to  the  fiipacf ,  This 
may  be  instanced  in  the  following  pir- 
ticulars : 

**I.  The  reproduction  of  tlie  Ultra- 
montane  theory,  efen  in  temporal  tnntterf, 
concerning  the  powers  of  the  papacy — it« 
fiupremacy  and  infallibility. 

**  11.  In  the  eatimnte  of  the  actions  of 
indtf  idual  popf^.  We  are  now  called  upon 
by  Romaiiist  writers  in  France  to  unlearn 
our  history,  Not  merely  (we  are  aasnred) 
do  the  characters  of  such  popes  an  Boni- 
face VllL,  Gregory  VII.,  Innocent  III., 
and  Pins  V.  require  no  ajioto^t  but  tbete 
pnntifla  are  to  be  regarded  as  models  for 
imitation,  as  patterns  for  popes,  and  aa 
ebjectj  of  special  veneration  to  the  clergy 
and  laity  for  faith,  s&intiiness.and  courage, 

"III,  The  documents  of  Roman  cccle- 
iiastical  history,  which  were  rejected  as 
spurious  by  snch  learned  R,  C.  writers  of 
the  French  Church  as  Fleury,  Dupin,  and 
TiUemont  (who  would  uow^  I  suppoae,  be 
pro*oribed  as  Jansenists),  ai-e  not  only  re- 
ccifed  as  genuine  and  true,  however  late 
may  be  their  origin,  mid  however  incon- 
sistent they  may  be  with  known  historical 
facta,  but  they  arc  to  be  made  the  grmnd- 
work  of  church  history,  and  all  other  do- 
cuments are  to  be  corrected  by  them  and 
ooufornied  to  them. 

**1V.  This  revival  of  the  spirit  of  me- 
dicTsliBm  shows  itself  in  numerous  prac- 
tices as  well  as  doctrines*     For  ejiHrai>ie — 

L  We  oow  see  »  band  of  pilgrims  set- 
ting out  from  Pariit  to  the  Holy  Land  to 
worship  at  the  Holy  Sepulchre. 

2.  We  behold  Ibe  Cataeombs  of  Rome 
worked  with  increajied  activity,  as  if  they 
were  a  spiritual  California. 

(On  this  subject  we  have  e^ttracted  in 

•  former  portion  of  this  Magazine  Or. 
Wordsworth's  able  exposure  of  the  recent 
erection  of  a  new  Patron  Saint  at  Amiens.] 

•*3.  The  worship  of  the  Blessed  Virgio, 
superseding  the  religion  of  Christ,  i^  too 
obvious  to  be  iubistcd  upon. 

**  4.  Again,  wc  see  reports  of  miracles^ 
apparitions,  jkc.  promulgated  by  the  church 
with  great  conhdence  and  activity.  In 
fact,  the  Apocalyptic  prophecy  appear* 
to  be  receiving  a  complete  fulfilment  i  the 
mysterious  powder,  there  foreshadowed,  of 

*  the  faithless  church/  whose  seat  is  on 
the  Seven  Hillii,  is  labouring  with  rebtless 
energy  to  make  every  one  receive  its  mark, 
and  with  marvellous  success.*' 

Dr.  Wordiiwortb  has  also  made  various 
inquiries  as  to  the  present  state  of  Pro- 
testantism in  France.  It  is,  unhappily,  di- 
vided into  two  discordant  parties.    Whilst 


the  Roman  Catholics  have  almost  entirely 
relinquished  their  Gallicanism,  the  Pro- 
testants are  still  separated  into  Calvinists 
imd  Lutherans.  **  Btit  what  is  very  re- 
markable, is,  that  the  Parisian  R.C.  press 
does  not  wage  a  systematic  warfare  with 
Paritian  Protestantism,  or  with  French 
Protestantism ;  but  almost  all  its  anti- 
Protestant  artillery  is  levelled  across  the 
Channel  against  the  Church  f>f  England, 
This  is,  perhaps,  the  strongest  testimony 
that  could  be  given,  and  the  noblest  homage 
that  could  be  paid  to  that  church — as  the 
Btrongeit   bulwark  of  the  Reformation.*' 

W^hen  a  pastor  of  the  Evangelique  or 
Refortned  Protestant  party  was  asked, 
**  *  What  is  the  state  of  your  own  churches  ? 
Do  yon  make  much  progress  ?'  he  replied 
'  YeS|  we  make  some :  but  the  circum- 
fltanoe  I  mentioned  is  one  of  our  hinder- 
aoccs.  The  people  love#/pec/ac/ein  religion, 
and  w§  have  little  of  that  to  offer  in  our 
churches  \  hence^  I  candidly  own,'  said  he, 
*  that  Protcstantisra  in  our  form  is  not 
suited  for  France  as  she  is  now.  It  is  too 
dry,  too  cold.  There  ore  other  things 
against  us.  The  name  of  Prateniant  in 
France  is  regarded  as  synonym oui  with 
that  of  re&ef/e,  it  ex  cites  aouvenirs  de  la 
guerre.  Then  our  divisions  tell  greatly 
agaiaet  us.  Still  there  i^  a  con&iderabte 
demand  in  the  communes  of  Frtincp  for 
Protestant  instructors,  qui  sont  tr^a  aim^s. 
1  was  paateur  in  a  certain  commune,  where 
I  had  five  intliiuteun  under  me  ;  our  in* 
structlon  is  generally  preferred  to  that  of 
the  Roman  Catholic  schools.  But  the 
government  is  now  opposed  to  as,  and  we 
have  great  difficulties  thrown  in  our  way 
by  the  civil  and  eccle^tiastical  powers.  All 
the  weight  of  the  authority  of  the  country 
is  cast  into  the  scale  of  Rome," 

The  same  speaker  gave  it  as  his  opinion 
that  hi  the  north  of  France  there  was  little 
religious  faith  of  any  kind  among  the 
middle  aud  lower  clas-es, — in  the  south, 
ejome  little.  The  author,  of  course,  makes 
some  reflections  upon  the  measures  which 
may  best  tend  to  remedy  this  lamentable 
state  of  things.  '*  Aud  next  to  Divine 
Grace,  and  Ibe  Divine  Word,  we  must  look 
to  sound  learning,  and  especially  to  an 
accurate  study  of  early  church  history,  for 
the  manifestation  of  the  truth,  and  for  the 
exposure  of  the  cheats  and  impostures  now 
palmed  upon  an  unsuspecting  world  under 
the  venerable  uame  of  Christian  antiquity. 
The  Church  of  Rome  has  now  many  hearts 
and  hands  stirred  by  a  spirit  similar  to 
that  which  actuated  the  mind,  and  pro- 
duced the  works,  of  her  illuatriouB  an- 
nalist Cardinal  Haronius ;  and  it  will  fare 
iU  for  the  camee  of  Christianity  in  England 
if  our  Universities  and  capitular  bodies  do 
not  endeavour  to  raise  a  race  of  students*

that  Home  of  the  best  of  our  new  books  do 
oecaaioo&liy  get  thrust  aside  to  make  way 
for  the  importunate  claims  of  such  as  treat 
on  subjects  of  a  great,  but  temporary, 
interest*  Among  those  recently  placed 
before  us,  let  us  now  particularly  make  the 
honourable  meotion  to  which  they  are  so 
well  entitled,  of  two  volumes  which  come 
to  US  from  America,  though  reprinted,  and 
with  good  success,  In  London.  Dr.  Way- 
land's  Memoirs  of  the  celebrated  American 
Baptist  niissioDary  in  Burmahf  Dr,  Jud- 


Bon,  owe  their  interest  to  TariouB  cauiet : 
— chiefly,  indeed,  to  the  rare  lingleneia  of 
heart  and   purpose  which  penraded  Dr- 
JudKon^ft  whole  career, — but  also  from  the 
remarkable  aid  his  labours   received  from 
no  le<s  than  three  admirable  women,  sue- 
cc458ively  the  partakers  of  the  missionary 'a 
counsels,  and  most  efl^ectire  partners  in  ' 
hia   toils.    The  name  of  the   fir«t  Mri* 
JtidjOQ— of  that  heroic  woman  who  mlnla- 
tcred  to  her  husband  and  his  companions' 
wanrg  throughout  iheir  cruel  captivity  of 
twenty -one  months  in  Ava,— Tit  tolerably 
well  known.     To  Anne  Judaon,  indeed, 
the  mliksionary  path  was  almost  wholly  one 
of  sorrow  and  discouragement.    For  seveii 
yeari  the  church  at  Rangoon  covild  num- 
ber only  three  native  converts;  and,  after 
the  terrible  persecutions  of  Ava,  the  ihat* 
tcred  health  of  the  brave  wife  gave  way. 
After  fourteen  years  of  married  life,  thir- 
teen of  which  bad  been  pasaed  in  foreign 
climes,  the  path  had  just  begun  to  look 
hrightcr,  and  the  hope  of  better  succeas  to 
dawn  ou  them,  when  an  ilLuess  of  a  few 
days,   in  ht-r  huabaod's  abaence,  cairicd 
her  off,  leaving  one  motherleas  babe,  soon 
to  follow  her.     Strange  as  it  may  leera, 
her    merits    seem    tu    have    been    fall/ 
equalled,  in  many  respects  surpaased,  by  ' 
her  successor,  who,  herself  the  widow  of  ^ 
an  excellent  missionary,  married  Dr.  Jud- 
&0I1  eight  years  after  the  death  of  his  lirst 
wife.  To  ttiis  companion,  indeed,  was  owing 
much   even  of  that  influeoco  among  th^ 
heathen  which  might  be  oBcribed  to  hia 
own  efforts,  since  it  h  clear  that,  during  a 
great  part  of  his  widowcrhood,  habita  of  i 
asceticism  and  a  dbeosed  aversion  to  society 
had  been  growing  upon  him.     From  thes4 
notions  and  habiu^  which  might  have  eaten  ^ 
the  heart  oat  of  hia  noble  enterprises,  liii  ^ 
second  marriage  entirely  freed  him.     He 
was  now  made  the  father  of  living  and  \ 
promiaing  children     His  wife,  a  learned, 
talented,  cner^^ctic,  loving  Christian  wo- 
man, speaking  and  writing  the  native  lan- 
guages fluently,  holding  his  work   dearer 
than   life,   raised    Ijia    heart,    his    mind, 
and  hope.     With  her  he  hnd  the  blessing  1 
of  living  ten  year?,  when  a  disease,  whoio  j 
symptoms    had   threatened   her,    b&camel 
more  decidedly  developed,  and  her  husband  ^ 
\v»h  told  tkat  the  only  chance  for  protracted 
life  was  in  a  sea-voyage  and  a  northern  cli* 
mate.     As  she  was  too  ill  to  go  alone,  Dr. 
Judson,  unwilling  as  he  was  to  leave  hia  ' 
work,  felt  constrained  to  accompany  hert  . 
They  reached  the  Isle  of  France,     There 
her  health  appeared  to  be  so  far  improvcd| ' 
as  that  both  made  up  their  minds  that  it ' 
was  possible  for  her  to  proceed  without  | 
him ;  and  he  determined  to  return  to  the 
mission.     We  recollect  no  more  touching

the  pen  of  his  faithful  wife  for  the  beautiful 
and  touching  account  of  his  last  hours, 
when  on  a  voyage  positively  ordered  as 
the  only  chance  for  prolonged  life.  It  is 
a  blessing  to  know  that,  during  a  large  por* 
tion  of  that  life,  he  had  been  permitted  to 
see  many  fruits  of  his  missionarj  toils.  For 
thirty -seven  years  he  laboured  in  Burmah

Of  kU  the  good  soldiers  that  have  proved 
their  armour  on  this  field,  Dr,  Judson  is 
the  pioneer.  His  talent  for  the  acquisition 
of  languaget,  his  fluent,  powerful  use  of  that 
language,  his  tact, — above  all,  his  indo- 
mitahle  paLicnce  and  courage,  have  cleared 
the  way  for  all  followers  ;  and  to  him  must 
ever  be  a-scribed,  under  Providence,  what-

Htjo.— When  the  celebrated  Rotunda  at 
Ranelagb,  once  the  resort  of  all  the  gayest 
of  the  gay,  was  taken  down  and  sold  piece- 
meal in  1805,  it  occurred  to  some  benevo- 
lent people,  that  it  would  be  a  good  and 
Christian  deed  to  establish  schools  and  a 
place  of  worship  amongst  the  neglected 
and  dissolate  population  who  had  settled 
in  that  neighbourhood,  once  set  apart  for 
the  indulgence  of  fashionable  dissipation. 
One  of  the  refreshment  rooms  of  Ranelsgh 
was  accordingly  hired  for  the  purpose.  It 
was  first  op^aed.  «&  ^  %t\iQ^3\-\^iHi^>  «A

of  the  i>aFish  at  the  fart li eat  distance  from 
Ranelnt^h,  The  need  of  some  addition  to 
these  scanty  means  of  rchgiona  ioatrnction 
may  therefore  be  well  conceived.  Mnny 
good  men  encon ragged  the  work  at  Rsoc*

person!  willing  and  able  to  derote  them- 
selTOS  to  the  tninisterial  portion  of  the 
work,  which  it  is  ohdous  was  essentially 
of  a  missionary  riiaracter.  For  several 
years  the  Sunday  services  were  performed 
by  ministers  of  varioiis  eTangclicsl  dissent- 
ing bodies,  and  hy  such  lay  membera  of 
their  congregations  as,  having  *'  the  gift  of 
teaching/'  were  permitted  to  preach ^  al- 
thoagh  never  formally  set  apart  to  the 
miftisterial  office.  Amongst  them  was  the 
subject  of  the  present  biogrnphy.  Bom  at 
Bicester  in  1775^  he  had  come  early  in  life 
to  London  with  his  parents,  and  had  hi^en 
brought  up  to  dome  comtnarcial  pursuit*

clerk  or  hook-keeper  to  n  trsdeiman  in  an 
extensive  wny  of  business  in  St.  James's 
Street.  Thrown  in  the  way  of  the  Rev. 
Thomas  Scott  the  commentator,  who  was 
then  chaplain  at  the  Lock,  and  alio  of 
Cowpcr's  friend  J6bn  Newton,  he  had 
imbibed  their  doctrines  and  their  spirit, 
arvd  wai  anxious  to  devote  himself  to  the 
ministry.  Friends  who  were  persuaded  of 
his  ability  and  conscientiousness  offered  to 
assist  him  in  going  to  Oxford,  and  obtain- 
ing a  degree ;  but  Scott  on  bemg  coaaulted 
seems  to  have  thought  the  difficulties, 
arising  probably  from  the  deficiency  in  Mr. 
J>  hep  herd's  early  cducitkm,  too  formidable 
to  he  encountered  at  the  age  of  thirty,  and 
thus  the  Established  Church  lost  the  »er- 
tIcm  of  a  good  and  able  man  who  was 
■JUdoiu  to  ha?e  derotcd  himself  to  her 
eiuie.  Embarking  with  characteristic  ar- 
dour in  the  Itbour  commenced  at  Rane- 
lagh,  he  made  himself  so  u&eful  there,  that 
alter  Nome  years  the  work  fell  entirely 
into  his  hands,  and  on  thi>t  14th  January, 
18M|,  he  was  set  apart  to  the  ministry  over 
the  congregation  which  hi:  had  been  one 
principal  means  of  forming  and  keeping 
together.  The  cstabHshment  of  Sunday 
schools,  and  the  other  customary  adjuncts 
to  an  nctire  Christian  congregation  under 
if 


the  iuperintendeuce  of  a  settled  pastor,

ofGcmted  from  1  BIB  to  1848.    He  died  on 
the  IGth  May*  1^50,  In  his  75th  year.

**  If  all  who  differ  from  the  Establish inent 
in  doctfine  or  polity  were  to  ijieak  tad

truly  pastoral  IcUcr  ia  expressed,  there 
wouldj  I  am  convinced,  never  have  been 
the  separation  in  feelings  and  interfsts 
which  you  lament  in  yotir  note.  I  believe 
no  one  has  a  more  entirely  catholic  feeling 
with  respect  to  all  orthodox  Dissenters 
than  myself.  I  can  from  my  heart,  and  I 
do  dsily  on  my  knees,  wish  them  God 
speed  ;  but  how  to  remedy  the  grief ancQ

Fo/»  i, :  Sfiite*.  AtUk  and  Imp.  Folio. —  • 
This  realty  magnificent  book  was  com* 
meoced  by  Mr.  Wickes  in  all  the  energy 
of  youth,  and,  after  some  yeard*  perse- 
termnce,  he  has  proceeded  to  the  extent  of 
a  vnlnme,  which  contains  forty-one  sub- 
jects of  Spires,  comprised  in  twenty-six 
plates.  The  second  volume,  of  similar  ex- 
tent, is  to  be  devoted  to  Towers.  Mr, 
Wickcs's  drawings  are  characterised  at 
once  by  boldness  and  precision.  The  Spires 
rise  b«fore  ns  in  the  majesty  and  the  truth 
of  thciir  originals.  His  plates  are  executed 
in  simple  bat  effective  outline;  and  it  is 
annouDoed  that  another  edition,  in  shaded 
and  tinted  lithography,  will  be  issued,  at 
the  tam«  prices,  for  those  who  prefer  the 
higher  pictorial  effect  so  produced.  The 
outUne  edition  is  offered  more  especially 
to  architects  and  to  those  who  are  anxious 
to  study  details  for  instruction ;  and  on 
this  point  we  cannot  repress  some  inti- 
mation of  regret  that  Mr.  Wickes  has  not 
further  facilitated  such  researches  by  in- 
lerting  internal  sections  of  some  of  the 
raofet  remarkable  examples  of  the  media: val 
prifiCipleft  of  construction.  His  external

the  beauties  of  outliae  and  contour,  they 
cannot  fail  of  producing  a  beoefictal  effect 
on  the  taste  of  ecclesiastical  architects. 
It  was  especially  in  the  stone  countries  of 
Northamptonshire,  Lincolnshire,  and  Ox- 
fordshire thnt  the  mediaeval  Spires  attained 
their  exquisite  perfection ,  In  the  present 
day  they  are  arising  thickly  upon  the  clay 
of  Middlesex  and  amidst  the  humble  cam- 
paniles of  Surrey  and  Sussex,  and  indeed 
wherever  a  railway  can  bring  the  malerisL 
One  of  the  most  beautiful  of  modem  spires 
has  been  erected  with  stone  brought  from 
Bath  near  the  railway  station  at  Ealinfr, 
The  more  Liberal  spirit  that  has  arisen  in 
recent  years  in  the  erection  of  the  superior 
class  of  churches  has  made  the  Spire  a 
decidedly  favourite  feature,  and  therefore 
Mr.  Wickes* s  work  is  exceedingly  well 
timed.  He  has  classed  his  examples  under 
the  three  chronological  heads  of  Early- 
English,  1200—1272;  Decorated,  1272— 
1377  s  and  Perpendicular,  1377—1546. 
Of  the  Early-English  we  have  five  speci* 
mens,  of  which,  however,  two  only  belong 
entirely  to  this  period,  Witney,  and  Sutton, 
CO,  Northampton,  The  thi^  others  are 
Early- English  only  so  far  as  the  towers 
are  concerned,  the  spires  belonging  to  the 
second  period.  They  are  St.  Mary's  at 
Stamford,  and  Raunds  and  Ketton,  both 
in  Northamptonshire,  of  which  the  second 
is  the  mofit  remarkable  for  tfae  harmony  of 
its  design.  Of  the  Decorated  style  thir- 
teen further  examples  are  given ;  among 
which  are  the  Cathedrals  of  Lichfield, 
Salisbury,  and  Pcterboronght  St.  Mary  at 
Oxford,  St.  Mary  RedctlfFe  at  Bristol,  and, 
scarcely  inferior  to  these  in  beauty,  St. 
Wolfran's  at  Gnmtham  ;  to  which  may  be 
added,  as  favourable  specimens  of  a  sim. 
pier  style,  Bloxham  and  Oakham,  while 
Lo6twithiel  is  remarkable  on  account  of 
its  peculiarity.  The  specimens  of  the 
Perpendicular  style  arc  twenty-three  in 
number ;  the  most  beautiful  of  them  being 
Oundle,  Rnshton,  and  King's  Sutton,  all 
in  Northamptonsliire,  and  St  Michoars 
at  Coventry,  while  Kenstone,  Wallcott, 
and  Oakham  commend  themselves  by  their 
simplicity;  All  Saints*  Stamford,  St. 
James's  at  Louth,  and  Moulton,  co,  Lin- 
coln, by  the  exquisite  style  of  their  deco- 
rations; and  Patrington,  St.  Nicholas* 
at  Newcastle-upon-Tyne,  Graffham,  co, 
Huntingdon,  and  St,  Peter  and  St.  Paul 
at  Exeter,  by  peculiarities  of  structure* 
These  various  tpectmcns  of  style  suffi- 
ciently establish  the  author's  judgment  m 
the  selection  of  his  subjects.  His  intro- 
ductory remarks  present  a  rapid  but  highly 
iuteresttog  sketch  of  the  history  of  medi-

ootttroverej  before  ub  in  the  pamphlets 
above  described.  It  is  one  which  we  can- 
not bat  regard  with  astonishment  in  oar 
pretent  adTanccd  state  of  arehitcctnral 
knowledge,  hut  it  will  not  be  without  its 
use  in  tlie  learned  infonnation  it  has  drawn 
fortbi  we  may  say  from  both  combatants, 
though  we  must  award  to  Mr.  Cutis  the 
the  merit  of  having  nsed  hi»  weapons  to 
the  better  purpose.  Mr.  Jenkins  has 
relied  too  impUcttly  on  the  dkt4  of  anti- 
quaries of  i  bye-gone  generation- the  men 
of  the'*  ingenious  hypothesis*'  and'*  happy 
ooi^eeture/'  who  appealed  muro  \a  books

BiAJdm  of  Juvenal,  the  motto  of  the  Royal 
Society  of  London,  aud  of  all  true  Bncon- 
ian  pbilosoperv, 

Nuitiue  in  verba. 

To  appeal  to  the  great  names  of  Roy,  and 
King,  and  Stukelcy,  is,  as  Mr.  CutU  Uas 
well  remarked,  tantamount  to  prefcrriog 
the  conclufiioQS  of  Ptolemy  to  those  of 
Newton,  or  of  Paracelsus  to  Faraday. 
The  theory  of  General  Roy,  here  adopted 
by  Mr.  Jenkins,  i»,  it  will  be  recollected, 
that  Colchester  Castle  is  the  identical 
Temple  which,  according  to  Tacitui,  visu 
erected  by  the  colonists  of  Camulodutium 
in  honour  of  their  deiAed  Emperor  Clau- 
dius. Mr,  Jenkins  conjectures  that  it  was 
subsequently  coavfrted  into  a  castle  by 
the  Aomani ;  tben  became  the  cathedral 
church  of  the  carliei t  bishops  of  Colches- 
tflrj  and  lastly  was  cou verted  into  a  Norman 
castle.  The  arguments  employed  In  sup- 
porting this  theory  are  to  tbe  effect  that 
the  materials  of  the  buiidmg  and  its  mode 
of  conBtructioti  are  Roman,  that  it$  plan 
and  general  features  are  different  from 
thouc  of  a  Norman  keep,  and  that  tlve  part 
u«uaUy  called  tbr  Clinpel  corresponds  with 
the  ordiuary  plan  of  a  Roman  ttmpie,- — 
the  remaining  portions  of  the  structure 


being  appropriated  as   pneata' 
guard-towers,  &e.    Mr.   Cutts,  in  rcpTf^J 
has  triumphantly  proTcd  that,  whilst  ill 
materials  are  in  great  meaiUTB  Eomao,  itiJ 
construction  is  etaentially  Normao,  be«f»  1 
ing  a  striking  resemblance  to  many  otb«| 
Norman  castle«,  and  p&rticolarly  to  th«l 
White  Tower  of  the  Tower  of  London  |' 
whereas  the  similarity  to  a  Eoman  temple 
is  perfectly  riatooary  and  fantaatieaL    The

ing  been  removed  in  the  reign  of  Chartes  II* 
The  former   existence  of  this  is   amply 
provedt  not  merely  by  the  analogy  of  other  ^ 
boildiDga  of  the  kind,  but  by  the  actual  ro* I

adjoining  the  north- west  tower*     Of  thia 
Mr.  Cutis  has  given  an  etching,  and  he

Miscellaneous  Reviews*

Dr,  Duncan  of  Colchester  (to  whom  Mr. 
Cutts  IS  indebted  for  hta  etchtngs),  has 
eiamioed  thera  with  attention.  In  a  letter 
addrcised  to  the  Esacx  Gaxette  (Sept.  29), 
he  states  that  he  has  cnre fully  measured 
some  hundreds  of  tUes  in  the  caMle,  in  the 
town  walls,  the  conduit,  St.  3otolph*s,  and 
Trinity  tower,  and  he  is  decidedly  of  opi- 
nion that  greater  irregularity  of  tiles  eiiats 
in  the  casttc  than  in  the  other  bulldhigs  of 
the  city.  The  Roman  tiles  are  frequently 
identified  by  portions  still  adhering  to 
them  of  the  [peculiar  red  mortar  which  was 
u»ed  at  that  eera,  and  which  is  in  colour 
contrasted  with  the  Norman  mortar.  It 
id  not  at  all  improbable,  however,  that  the 
manufacture  of  tiles  or  bricks  of  the 
tloman  form  was  continued  on  the  spot 
for  centtirics  after  the  Romans  themselres 
were  departed,  their  manufacture  having 
been  more  preralent  in  luediceval  times 
than  has  been  generally  supposed,  and 
nercr  wholly  abandoned  in  places  where 
they  were  required  from  theabience of  atone. 

■  Lastly,  ai  to  what  has  been  observe  J  be- 
neath the  soil  J  wc  need  scarcely  remind 
our  readcrii  how  abundantly  Roman  re- 
mains  exist  throughout  the  site  of  Colches- 

■      ter,  and  that  it  is  but  natural  that  the  im» 
mediate  vicinity  of  the  castle  should  have 
its  share.     It  appears  not  improbable  that 
some  Roman  building  stood  on  the  spot, 
as   foundntions   apparently   Roman   hare 
been   traced ;    bat    they    were  evidently 
treated   with   contempt    by  Ihc  Norman 
architects,   whose    walls  cross  them   ob* 
liquely,  as  shown  in  Mr,  Jenkins's  own 
^^       plan*     It  may  possibly  have  been  the  tcm- 
^K      pie  of  Claudius;  but  nothing  has  occurred 
^f      to  shew  that  it  was  more  than  an  ordinary 
villa,  which  had  been  destroyed  contuHes 
before  the  ca.^tle  was  built. 

Mr.  Cutts'  Appendix  consists  of  a  cir- 
eumstantial  survey  of  the  Costlc,  which 
will  be  acceptable  as  a  guide  in  visiting  its 
remains.

somewhat  into  disfavour,  and  not  without 
reason  :  for  wbcnannotators  overload  their 
author,  either  with  impertinent  and  tedious 
oommentarles,  or  with  histories  and  bio- 
graplues  where  mere  explanations  are 
required,  or  with  centoes  of  verbal  critl- 
dsin,  or,  worse  than  all,  with  prolonged 
contradictions  of  their  predecessors,  bear- 


ing little  if  any  relation  to  the  author's 
test,  then  it  is  no  wonder  if  the  reader  is 
tired  and  disgusted.  On  the  other  hand, 
nothing  is  more  certain  than  this,  that  our 
older  poets  can  neither  be  appreciated  nor 
even  understood  without  some  notes  :  and 
we  will  venture  to  say  that  explanatory 
notes  can  scarcely  be  too  numerouSf 
though  they  may  easily  be  too  long.  Even 
when  not  absolutely  required  by  the  majo- 
rity of  readers,  they  may  be  pardoned, 
when  short  and  correct.  The  Editor  of 
the  Collection  of  Poets,  the  commence- 
ment of  which  wc  now  notice,  propose! 
that  it  shall  be  characterised  by  the  com- 
pleteness of  its  notes,  biographical,  critical, 
and  historical.  He  enters  upon  bis  task 
in  an  historical  spirit,  with  the  evident  aim 
of  instructing  as  well  as  pleasing  the  lover 
of  English  Poetry  :  having  adopted  for  his 
motto  some  right-minded  sentiments  of 
Sir  James  Stephen,  which  set  forth  how 
that  our  national  poets  are  the  greatest  and 
the  best  commentators  on  our  history, 
"  and  often  throw  more  rich  and  brilliant 
colours,  and  sometimes  even  more  clear 
and  steady  Itghts,  on  the  time»  and  doings 
of  our  forefftthers,  than  are  to  be  gathered 
out  of  all  the  chroniclers  together,  from 
the  Venerable  Bede  to  the  Philosophical 
Hume,"  Mr.  Bell  promises  also  to  en- 
hance the  value  of  his  edition  by  a  acrupu* 
lous  collation  of  Its  teit.  It  is  further  to 
be  distinguished  from  preceding  collective 
editions  by  including  the  works  of  several 
poets  which  have  been  entirely  omitted 
from  them,  **  especially  those  stores  of 
Lyrictkl  and  BdLid  Poetry  in  which  our 
literature  b  richer  than  that  of  any  other 
country,  ond  which,  independently  of  their 
poetical  claims,  nre  peculiarly  interesting  as 
illustrations  of  historical  events  and  national 
customs."  This  abject  is  to  be  effected, 
in  part,  by  the  publication  of  occasional 
volumes,  which  will  contain,  "  according 
to  circumstances,  poetry  of  a  particular 
class  or  period ;  collections  illustrative  of 
customs,  manners,  and  historical  events ; 
or  specimens,  with  critical  annotations,  of 
the  Minor  Poets."  These  volumes  will 
be  complete  in  themselves,  as  will  be  the 
works  of  the  principal  Poets.  An  Intro- 
ductory Volume  will  be  devoted  to  the 
early  history  of  English  Poetry ;  whihst  in 
regard  to  the  Lives  of  the  Poets,  we  con- 
clude, judging  from  the  eiamples  before 
us,  that  it  is  Mr,  Beirs  intention  to  make 
them  both  full  and  saftisfactory.  It  is  true 
that,  in  the  cases  both  of  Sarrey  and  Dry- 
den,  he  has  the  advantage  to  follow  in  the 
wake  of  very  painstaking  predecessors,  who 
have  devoted  much  time  and  labour  to

I  English  poetry  cannot  be  estimated  by  Itie

ibould  be  remembered  that  it  is  to  this 

Tvry  ctrcomatance  we  are  indebted  to  him 

for  the  Berrices  he  rendered  to  our  poetiail 

literature.*' 

Mr,  Bell  has  wholly  rejected  the  fan- 
tastic notion  of  Dr.  Nott  that  all  Surrey's 
love  poems — a  description  which  com- 
priMt  nearly  the  whole  of  hit«  smaller 
pieces — have  reference  to  bis  passion  for 
**tlie  fair  Gernldine/'  the  exiled  daughter 
of  the  Earl  of  Kildare.  The  poet's  sonnet 
ipecially  descriptive  of  tbut  young  lady  is 
well  known ;  and  there  is  one  other  In 
vbioh  be  addresses  her  by  her  Anglicised 
nrnama  of  Garrett  ^  but  the  utmost  tn- 
gvnutty  of  the  mo»t  attentive  render  has 
been  unable  to  gatl^er  from  any  of  the 
Other  poems  a  single  positive  fact  jdcatify- 
ing  the  party  to  whom  they  are  addressed. 
From  their  deficiency  of  personal  allusions 
they  afTord  (as  Mr,  Bell  remarks)  no 
means  of  determining  whether  they  repre- 
sent a  couatant  pa&aion,  or  a  succession  of 
passing  impressions,  or  whether  they  were 
not  for  the  most  part  studies  of  love  or 
axerciaes  of  a  poetical  gallantry.  Mr.  Bell 
inclines  to  the  latter  view,  whilst  one  or 
two  of  them,  as  he  tbiiiks;,  are  distinct  in 
their  relation  to  the  legitimate  object  of 
the  Poet's  affectionSf  the  Conntess  of 
Surrey.  He  refers  particularly  to  two 
poems  which  were  composed  at  sea  when 
the  Earl  was  crossing  over  to  France.  It 
is  our  impression  that  several  of  the  other 
ns  were  written  dtinog  another  period 


of  leisure,  namely  that  which  wa«  forced 

upon  the  writer  by  his  imprisonment  at 
Windsor — which  place  is  mcntioaed  in  at 
least  three  pieces  ;  and  we  tliink  that  in 
those  poems  the  hiir  Geraldinc  was  his  lady- 
love. At  any  event,  Mr,  Bell  has  done 
quite  right  in  restoring  the  whole  collection 
to  the  order  it  had  in  the  early  editions » 
which  may  at  Irast  imply  some  connection 
in  respect  to  the  time  of  their  composition, 
as  their  eeqneace  in  the  author's  nianu* 
script  may  very  probably  still  be  pre- 
senredj  whereas  that  formed  by  Dr.  Nott 
was  entirely  fiotitious  and  fantastical  ^  in- 
▼ented  to  support  his  own  romance  of 
Surrey  and  Geraldine. 

In  his  Lift  qf  Dry  den  Mr.  Bell  cornea 
after  three  nble  and  diligent  predecesaora, 
John  son »  Molooe,  snd  Sir  Walter  Scott  j 
yet  he  has  not  cultirated  the  f)«ld  in  vain, 
nor  without  more  than  a  gleanlug  of  new 
and  intercstii^g  materials.  For  most  of 
these  he  ia  indebted  to  Sir  Henry  Drydeii 
the  jirce^ent  rcprcacntative  of  the  family, 
to  Mr.  BcvtUc  Drydcn,  and  to  Sir  Thomas 
Phillipps  of  MiJdtohill.  The  communica- 
tions of  the  last  are  of  most  value.  They 
consist  of  five  inedited  letter*  of  the  Poet, 
written  to  hii  friend  William  Watih 
esquire,  of  Abberley  in  Worcestershire, 
forming  part  of  a  series  uf  sixteen,  of  which 
the  other  eleven  were  published  by  Malone 
in  Drydeu'a  Miscellatieoas  Proec  Works. 
In  his  Hrat  letter  Dryden  addressed  this 
gentleman,  who  was  more  than  thirty  years 
his  junior,  with  absurd  flattery  and  ser- 
vility. In  those  dayi ,  it  is  true,  Che  same 
want  of  truth  which  still  attaches  to  the 
concluding  formula  of  '*Your  obedient 
humble  servant^'  was  not  unfrequently  the 
pervading  spirit  of  aneotire  complimentary 
epistle ;  it  ii  ncceiaary  to  bear  this  cirQum- 
stance  fully  in  mind  to  be  able  to  credit 
the  reality  of  such  a  production  ai  tbe 
folio  wing: — 

'*My  desre  Patron, — Nothing  cou'd 
plesae  me  better  than  to  know  you  as  well 
by  the  endowments  of  your  miod  as  by 
those  of  your  person.  I  knew  before  this 
discovery  that  you  were  iogeaious,  but  not 
that  you  were  a  Poet,  and  one  of  the  best 
that  these  times  produce,  or  the  succeed- 
ing times  can  expect.  Give  me  leave  not 
onely  to  honour  but  to  love  you ;  and  I 
shall  endeavour  on  my  part  to  make  more 
advances  to  you  than  you  have  made  to 
me^  who  are  both  by  gratitude  and  by  in- 
clinatlon  Your  most  faithful  I  humble  Ser- 
vant, John  Dbyden." 
„  The  other  letters  to  this  correspondent 
arc,  however,  in  a  totally  different  strain. 
They  are  composed  in  terms  of  familiar 
friendship,  and  are  filled  with  news,  both 
political  and  literary.  W^e  take  a  few  pass- 
ages from  one  which  was  written  t?bili(

Dryden  wa»  cogagcd  on  hU  last  (and  un- 
fUccessfoL)  plaj,  *'  Love  TriumpliaTit  :** 

**  Dorfey  has  brought  another  farce  upon 
the  tttge :  but  hU  luck  haa  left  him  :  it 
was  suffered  but  four  days,  and  then  kicked 
off  for  C¥er.  Yet  his  second  act  was  wond*>r' 
fully  ditcrtuigi  where  the  scene  wos  in 
ficdlam,  and  Mrs.  Bracegirdtc  and  Solon 
wen?  mnd  j  the  ^ingiDjj  wm  wonderfully 
good,  and  the  two  whom  I  have  named 
iuog  better  than  Redding  and  Mrs.  Ayloff, 
whose  trade  it  wng,— at  leaat  our  parlmlity 
carried  it  for  them.  The  rest  wos  woeful 
stuff,  and  coucluded  with  catcalls ;  of  which 
the  two  Dohle  Dukes  of  Richmond  and 
St.  Alban's  were  chief  managers* 

(These  noble  IcAdera  of  the  catcalls  were 
two  of  the  natitral  sons  of  King  Charles 
the  Second.  Conltl  not  Mr.  Bell  have  told 
us  Ums  name  of  Durfey'a  farce  ?) 

**  The  play  1  am  now  writing  is  a  feigned 
alory,  and  a  tragicomedy^  of  tlie  name  of 
The  Spanish  Fryer;  and  I  am  enre  the 
tale  of  it  Ls  likely  to  be  diverting  enough. 
I  have  plotted  it  all,  and  written  two  acts 
of  it  This  morning  I  had  their  chief  co- 
mediant  whom  they  call  Solon^  with  roe, 
to  consult  with  him  concerning  his  own 
character :  and  truly  1  think  he  has  Che 
belt  understanding  of  any  mania  thePtay* 
hoasc. 

**  Mr.  Wycherley's  Poems  will  not  come 
out  till  Michaelmas  term.  If  his  versifica- 
tion prove  as  well  as  his  wit  1  shall  believe 
it  will  be  extraordinary.  Howcter,  Con- 
greve  and  Southern  and  I  shall  not  fail  to 
appear  before  it,  and  if  you  will  come  in 
he  will  have  reason  to  acknowledge  it  as  a 
favour,  and  on  our  sides  you  shall  be  very 
welcome  to  makeup  the  meae." 

There  is  a  hearty  good-fellowship  in  this 
co-operation  of  the  poetH,  in  order  to  re- 
commend to  the  world  a  new-comer,  which 
is  creditable  to  the  fraternity,  and  to  its 
veteran  eiponent|the  honest  and  '*  glorious 
John."  His  next  letter  thus  announces 
hia  greatest  poetical  enterprise  : — 

*'  I  have  undertaken  to  translate  alt 
Virgil,  and  as  an  essay  have  already  para* 
phra&ed  the  Third  Georgic  as  an  eiample. 
It  will  be  published  in  Tonaon*s  next 
Mijscellsnieij,  in  Hilary  term.  I  propose 
to  do  it  by  subscription,  having  an  bimdred 
and  two  brass  cutts  (fsc),  with  the  coat  of 
arms  of  the  subscriber  to  each  cutt ;  every 
stibscriber  to  pay  five  guineys,  half  in 
band  ;  besides  another  inferior  subscrip- 
tion of  two  guineys  for  the  rest,  whose 
names  arc  only  written  in  a  catalogue, 
printed  with  the  book,'* 

Besides  these  letters,  Mr,  Hell  has  ac- 
quired  two  documents  of  some  importance 
relative  to  the  biography  of  Dryden.  The 
one  has  reference  to  his  marriage ^  and  the 
^er  ta  hia  pensions  t  but  both  of  those 


rather  suggest  than  dispense  with  further 
inquiry.  The  former,  which  is  Dryden 's 
niarriagc-licence,  granted  in  the  office  of 
the  Vicar>general  of  the  Archbishop  of 
Canterbury  on  the  last  dny  of  Nov.  1663, 
declares  that  Dame  Elijaheth  Howard  in- 
tended to  marry  "  with  the  consent  of  her 
father  Thomas  Earlc  of  Berkcs/*  a  fact 
which  former  biographers  have  doahted  t 
but  It  does  not  explain  why,  she  being  a 
pariMhioner  of  St.  Martin's  in  the  Fields, 
and  Dryden  of  St.  Clement  Danes,  the 
we  tiding  should  have  been  celebrated  in 
the  church  of  St.  Swithcn'a  by  London 
Stone.  The  licence  was  ohtaiQed  only  the 
day  iK'fore  the  marriage.  There  is  still, 
therefore,  some  suspicion  upon  the  publi- 
city of  this  marriage. 

Witb  refipect  to  Dryden's  pension  Mr. 
Bell  has  recovered  an  imperfect  Treasury 
warrant,  dated  May  6,  1684,  ilirccting  the 
payment  of  60/,  for  one  quarter  of  his 
pension  of  ^(HJ/.  due  at  Midsummer  1660, 
and  of  ^f^L  for  one  quarter  of  his  addi* 
tional  annuity  of  100/.  due  at  Lady. day 
in  the  same  year.  Mr.  Bell  bos  in  some 
degree  misunderstood  this  document,  when 
be  states  that  it  shows  that  Dry  den's  ad- 
ditional pension  was  ^'  directed  to  take 
effect  fvom  the  quarter  ending  at  Lady* 
day,  1680;^*^  inasmuch  as  it  proves,  at 
least,  tbat  this  addition  to  his  income  waa 
granted  at  some  prior  date,  a  quarter  being 
actually  '*  due  at  Lady-day,  1680,'*  The 
document  therefore  does  not  appt^r  to 
have  that  relation  to  Dryden's  conversion 
to  the  Church  of  Rome  which  Mr.  Bel!  Is 
inclined  to  ascribe  to  it :  nor  can  it  be  posi- 
tively connected  with  Dryden'a  appeal  to 
Lord  Rochester,  which  Malone  supposed 
to  have  been  written  in  August  1683.  It 
may  not  have  been  the  first  quarterly 
order  of  the  kind  t  and  possibly  some  other 
of  those  sibylline  leaves,  the  mutilated 
Exchequer  papers,  may  still  throw  further 
light  upon  this  question,

preferrifd  that  of  the  edition  of  U^^,  which 
had  the  henefit  of  the  autlior's  final  emen- 
dations. Having  placed,  in  fequence  to 
the  Night  Tli oughts,  the  author's  Para- 
phrase of  Job  and  his  Poem  on  the  La»t 
Day,  the  editor  gifes  Young*9  other  writ- 
ingf  in  strictlj  chronological  order  ;  intro- 
ducing, in  I  heir  proper  place*,  all  the 
pieces  which,  Jifter  Dr.  Young  bad  hirasclf 
made  a  f t/ecf iOn  (in  four  Yolumeff,  17G2), 
were  afterwards  hrougbt  together  in  a  Hflh 
volume  in  1767,  and  a  sixth  in  1778.  Mr. 
Nichola  has  also  assembled  n  scries  of  k-t 
ter*  written  by  Young,  and  some  of  thtiui 
at  an  earlier  period  than  anv  before  pub* 
lishcd.  Tbesc  are  addressed  to  Mr,  Jolvn 
Williams,  who  was  afterwards  secretary 
and  son -in 'law  of  Richurd  West,  Lord 
Chancellor  of  Ireland,  hut  who  wos  at 
the  time  (in  1739)  traTeltlng  on  the  conti* 
nent,  in  charge  of  some  young  gentlemen 
of  quality.  These  letters  are  more  cha* 
ractertsed  by  a  frivolous  levity  than  any 
more  valuable  ingredient :  but  they  i^uppty 
at  Jeaat  testimony  for  which  the  poet's 
biographers  were  at  some  loss,  that  he  had 
hi mfi elf  travelled  abroad  in  early  life.  He 
say  I  that  when  at  Nice,  "  I  contracted  a 
ireat  intimacy  with  the  ^fcditerraneao. 
lEfCfy  day  I  made  him  a  solemn  visit.  He 
roared  fcry  agreeably.  ...  If  you  fisit 
my  quondam  huhitiidoD,  you  will  pass  a 
soleoiQ  assembly  of  cypresses,  1  bsTC 
great  regard  for  their  memory  and  welfare; 
they  took  up  my  quarrel  against  the  lun, 
and  often  defended  mc  from  his  insultSi 
when  be  waa  much  more  furious  than  you 
now  represent  him."  Mr.  Nichols,  how- 
ever, meutions  another  oircumstancc  which 
may  make  Mr.  BtU  prick  up  his  ears  :  he 
Itates  that  Dr.  Young's  directiona  for  the 
posthumouB  destruction  of  his  pnpers,  were 
not  carried  into  effect  t  '*  that  they  are  still 
in  existence  in  his  son's  family,  and  may 
ere  long  he  given  to  the  world,  are  subjects 
of  common  belief  in  literary  cirolei."" 

Dr.  Doran  has  performed  the  task  of 
delineating  the  life  of  Young  with  hi^ 
wonted  vivacity  and  variety  of  illustration. 
Few  literary  hiograpbiea  have  taken  so 
agreeable  a  form.  Dr»  Doran  is  Qot«  how- 
ever,  one  of  thoie  writers  who  unavoidably 
become  enamoured  of  their  subject.  He 
u  peril  dps  rather  severe,  than  otherwise, 
oo  Dr.  Young's  personal  frailties  and  iu- 
oonsistencies  j  and  very  impartiaily  critical 
on  his  literary  production*.  The  leading 
points  of  hii  remnrks  on  the  Night 
Thoughts  are  as  follow  :  '*  Although  some 
have  ealled  its  sublimity  'fustian,' and  its 
melanoboly  artiJSchil,  its  comhinationi  gro- 
teaque,  ita  phraseology  involved,  and  its 
reaaoainif  sometimes  confujod,  it  stands, 
oa  the  whole,  as  a  monument  of  the  incx- 


hanstlblo  wit  (in  the  proper  sense  of  the 
word)  and  genius  of  the  author.    It^  moril^ 
is  express^ly  directed  against  thnt  of  Pop 
io  his  Essay  on  ^faUi  wherein  the  worh 
was  taught  to  be  content  with  the  preaentnj 
without  troubling  itself  about  the  hcre^ 
arter.     A  great  portion  of  Pope's  poei 
consists  merely  of  a  versified  translation  < 
PascarA  Thoughts  and  Mnxims;  but 
sentiments  of  Young  are,  with  one  or  \ 
exceptions,  entirely  original.     Too  m^nf 
of  the  sirailcA  are  drawn  from  the  play^ 
house   and   the   stage ;  from   the  aetoft|  j 
dftisiied  and  undressed;  even  Denth  hniVi 
self,  on  uuc  occflsiooi  appears  nt  a  door» 
keeper.     .  .  .     The   maje-Jtic  melanchol^fl 
that  reigns  throughout  the  poem  i:^  to 
often  Interrupted  by  trivial,  satiricAl»  o^ 
sarcastic  passages,  to  admit  of  our  belieT 
that  the  author  was  much  in  love  with  tlu 
sadness  he  commends.  ...     It  is  a  fact|J 
however,   that  Young  made   roelanohol]^ 
'modish/     Young  gentlemen  could^  lilu^'l 
Prinee  Arthur,  become  sad  as  night,  ou^l 
of  mere  wantonness.     His  poem  is  said  to  | 
have  induced  physicians  to  prohibit  detl**! 
catc  patients  from  perusing  it.     Beattiep  1 
writing  to  the  Duchess  of  Gordon,  trnati  I 
that  her  Grace  will  not  think  of  reading saT] 
doll  a  book  *  aa  Young's  Night  Thoughts.* f 
The    grave   gentleman   gallantly   proteitij 
that  the  lady  is  far  too  bright  for  soch  lad  1 
themes  ;  (hat  the  autlior  only  tntoxicateiJ 
pcDple,  and  that  iiitoiication  of  ftny  lorf 
is  prejudicial  to  health.    He  Maerti,  roorr 
over,  thut  the  poet  wa*  himself  too  wise  i 
be  sad,  and  that,  when  bo  commended  1 
mournful  meditatioiis,   he  was  himself  ai 
gay  as  it  wos  his  wont  to  be.     *  Believe 
me,*  he  adds, 

*  Believe  me,  the  shepherd  but  feigna  ; 
He's  wretched  to  show  he  has  wit/ 

There  is,  no  doubt,  some  truth  in  this.'' 

To  Young*s  Satires  Dr.  Doran  awardi 
more  unequivocal  praise.  He  remarki 
that  "  The  Satires  will  live  for  ever,  be- 
cause, in  description,  they  are  true  reflexei  I 
of  the  times,  and  in  sentiment  apnllcabls  ^ 
to  all  other  ages ;  individuQl  in  allusion, 
yet  general  in  application.  .  .  .  In  Gold* 
smith's  time  these  Satires  had  fallen  below 
their  originally  great  reputation.  They 
merit,  however,  complete  restoration  to 
public  favour.  In  spite  of  some  uncouth  , 
rhymes  and  awkward  phrases,  they  ooa- 
tuio  lines  of  great  elegance,  wit  sparkling  ' 
and  rapid,  ease  of  exprcs&ion,  indisputable 
common  bense,  and  an  endless  good-nature 
even  when  the  scourge  is  being  most 
lustily  ajiplied/'  In  one  trifling  point  of 
Young's  biography  wc  suspect  that  Dr^ 
Doran  has  been  embarrassed  in  a  waf 
which  is  not  unusual  with  those  who  do 
keep  themselves  constantly  alive  to  so

and  fome  Tiantlationt.  Edited  6y  J.  S. 
Moore,  es$.  A  New  Edition,  (Waab- 
boume.)  8vo. — ^This  collection  presents, 
in  a  com prehe naive  and  attractive  form, 
a  greater  body  of  our  popular  ballads  than 
can  be  elsewhere  so  readily  met  with.  The 
ancient  ballads  are  the  best  from  those 
aiiembled  by  Percy,  Ritson,  Evans,  Scott, 
JamiesoD,  Buchan,  and  others »  as  well  as 
tome  more  recently  edited  by  the  Percy 
Society :  tlie  modem  imitationj$  are  from 
the  pens  of  Scott,  Southey,  Cotcridge, 
Taylor,  Percy,  Chattcrton,  &c.  The  Latter 
dirision  forms  a  second  volume,  or  other- 
wise ^  as  the  owner  of  the  book  may  prefer. 
The  present  edition  is  improved  by  a  more 
correctly  chronological  arrangement  of  the 
earlier  pieces  ;  it  is  furnitibcd  with  a  glos- 
sary of  obsolete  words,  and  it  is  altoguther 
well  adapted  for  popular  use. 


The  Sony  of  Roland^  at  chanted  before 
the  Battle  qf  IIaMtin(fii,  by  the  Minstrel 
Taillefer,  Tranatated  by  the  Author  of 
"  Emilia  Wyndham.^'  Small  ^to.^Araidst 
the  cycle  of  romance  connected  with  the 
feats  of  Charlemagne  and  his  Paladins,  one 
of  the  most  popular  waa  the  lay  of  the 
Battle  of  Roncesvalles,  where  Roland  the 
nephew  of  the  great  Emperor,  and  his 
faithful  companion  Olivier,  were  slain  by 
the  infidel  Moors  of  Spain.  The  chro- 
oiders  state  that  this  story  was  sung  by 
the  miaatrcl  Taillofer,  and  repeated  by  the 
Norman  soldiers,  on  the  eve  of  the  battle 
of  Hastings.  In  the  words  of  the  author 
before  us,  *'  It  had  become  a  question  of 
considerable  interest  among  atitic|narie« 
wbtither  the  identical  song  of  Roland,  as 
chanted  at  the  battle  of  Hastings,  wer« 
still  in  existence.  At  length  (it  is  added) 
♦/  hag  been  diecovered ; " — that  is  to  say, 
a  poem  on  this  subject,  preserved  in  the 
Bodlciau  Library,  after  having  beeu  noticed 
by  Tyrwhitt  in  his  edition  of  Chaucer,  and 
by  the  Abbe  de  la  Rue  in  his  essay  on  the 
Norman  Trouveres,  waa  transcribed  under 
the  patronage  of  M,.  Guizot,  and  edited 
by  M.  Fr  Michel,  in  1837.  But  that  this 
poem,  consisting  of  about  four  thousand 
lines,  was  the  veriluble  ballad  ^*  chanted 
before  the  battle  of  Hoiitings,^'  is  in  the 
first  place  highly  im probable,  from  its 
great  length ;  and,  in  the  next,  it  is  con- 
tradicted by  it§  style.  Mr.  Wright  (in  his 
Biographia  Britannica  Literaria,  ii.  120) 
believes  that  iu  writer,  Turold,  flourished 
in  England  about  the  time  of  King  Stephen. 
Mr.  Wright,  however,  assigns  to  the  poet 
the  merit  of  describing  battle-acenes  with 
somewhat  of  Homeric  vigour,  and  of  intro- 
ducing pathetic  traits  which  sometimea 
possess  considerable  beauty.  It  appears 
that  ten  years  after  the  original  poem  was 
published  by  M.  ^lichel,  it  was  translated 
by  M.  G(6inn  into  the  French  language  as 
it  existed  in  the  time  of  Amyot,  and  more 
recently  a  modem  version  has  been  given 
by  M,  Vitet,  in  the  Revue  dcs  Deux 
Moodcs.  The  latter,  however,  is  an  abridge 
meut  of  the  original,  aud  it  is  from  thia 
abridgment  by  M.  Vitet  that  the  Engliab 
translation  before  us  has  been  made.  It 
is  an  edition  de  liare,  handsomely  printed 
on  fine  paper,  with  red  borders.  We  give 
one  brief  specimen,  the  description  of  th« 
court  of  Charles  at  Cordova  : — **  He  is  In 
his  orchard,  iind  at  his  side  are  seen  Roknd* 
Olivier,  Geoffrey  of  Anjou,  and  many 
others — all  song  of  sweet  France.  There 
are  fifteen  tbonsand  of  them  and  mor«. 
Seated  on  the  silken  staffs,  they  pass  the

Poetry  of  the  Ahti-Jacohin  :  with  ffj - 
planatory  Notes  by  Charles  Edmonds. 
Second  Sdition,  consideraMy  eniarytd, 
l2mo»— The  poetry  of  tht  Anti- Jacobin  is 
worth  every  one's  perusal  on  two  nrcounta, 
->ai  A  uiMterpiec^  of  wit,  and  as  a  ? ivid 
mirror  of  political  history.  Mr.  Edmontl^'u 
former  edition  (which  we  ooticed  in  our 
Mag:axine  for  July  1B&2)  was  received  with 
so  much  favour,  that  h«  has  redoubled  hti 
exertions  to  render  the  present  still  more 
complete.  Hia  excellent  prefncci  ond  hii 
continuoui  illustrations  raifle  thi-i  produc- 
tion into  the  rank  of  an  historical  work. 
The  hints  of  Tarious  contributors  have 
improved  his  notes,  and  he  particularly 
acknowledges  those  of  the  veterATi  Sir  Ro* 
bert  Adair,  now  the  sole  surviving  hero  of 
the  A nti' Jacobin,  and  one  of  t)ie  writers 
in  it^  counterpart.  The  Rolliad.  In  order 
that  the  parodies  moy  be  readily  appre- 
ciated, t!m  Editor  has  placed  their  ori- 
ginaln  in  juxtaposition  ;  and  he  has  further 
illustrated  the  book  by  six  etchings,  re- 
duced from  the  cancntui-es  uf  James  Gill- 
ray  which  were  originslly  designed  to  ac- 
company the  verses.  The  "  Fruspectus 
of  the  Anti-Jacobin,  a  Weekly  Examiner," 
which  was  written  by  Mr.  Canning,  is  also 
for  the  firat  time  prefixed  to  the  collected 
Poetry.  We  cannot  wonder  that  in  the 
present  generation,  whose  tuitc  for  poli- 
tical satire  i^  continually  sharpened  by  it^ 
favourite  Punch,  the  Poetry  of  the  Anti- 
Jacobin  should  again  be  populir ;  but 
there  is  still  a  deficicucy  which,  regarding 
the  book  as  an  historical  one,  we  should 
wish  to  see  supplied  :  it  ought  tn  have  an 
index  of  name».

With  this  volume,  Mr.  Jerdan  closes  the 
record  of  his  literary  and  social  career,  and 
he  closes  it  with  i  spirit  of  mingled  hope- 
fulness, cheerfulness,  complaint,  and  de- 
spondency, which  leaves  on  the  mind 
the  reader  only  a  feeling  of  meUncholfJ 
It   is    indeed    inspiriting   to  find    an  oU 
literary  soldier  like  the  Autiobiographerf] 
refusing  to  be  ranked  as  an  emenVtis,  i 
declaring  bis  power  as  well  as  his  abilitf

of  letters  even  as  he  did  of  old.     It  is  in- 
spiriting, but  we  could  wish  that  it  were 
not  necessary.     That  the  power  has  not 
gone  is  evidenced  bjr  the  volume  before 
us,  which  contains^  bcaidci   pergonal  nar-

notice  these  striking  and  ralntblc  EssayikJ 
LaJy  Noel  Byron,  whose  generous  o#erj 
ealled  them  forth,  has  been  very  willinglrj 
induced  to  add  another  hundred  pouncb] 
to  the  two  hundred  originDlly  proffcred|  I 
and  has  thereby  secured  for  the  public  two  I 
essays  of  a  widely  different  character,  but  j 
equally  effective,  instead  of  one.    There  it  1 
not  anything  very  new  in   the  volume  {  , 
but   a   good  and  useful   arrangement   of  * 
many  facta  on  Ibe  part  of  Mr,  Hill,  and  a 
clearly -stated  argument  from  Miss  Corn- 
wallis.     The  fault  which  strikes  us*  mean- 
while, in  all  the  projects  of  juvenile  re-. 
formation  we  have  ai  yet  seen,  ii  the  want 
of  providon  for  the  regular  payment  ofj 
industry  in  the  schools   now  institntinf  ' 
tliroughont  the  country  for  thiii  class  of  I 
boys  and  girls.     We  have  had  the  subject 
very  much   before  us,  and   really  cannot 
see  how  so  obvious  a  means  of  counteract* 
ing  the  love  of  stimulus  which  leads  to 
cagernetii   after  unlawful   gains  can   ever 
he  fairly  and  suitably   met,    i^ave   by  an 
education  into  the  culm  and  steady  pur- 
suits of  lawful  objects  of  interest.     In- 
dustry— the  hxed  habit  of  working  for  a 
viitblo   result,  however  small— it  surely 
the  simplest,  safest,  and  most  rations!  mode 
of  overcoming  idlers  and  vsgabonds.  That 
in  many  cases  it  would  be  troublesome  and 
difficult  wc  allow  ;  but,  on  the  other  band, 
it  surely  nould  greatly  facilttato  the  mas-

the  otrtjnJer's  power  of  working  on  bii

course  be  said  that  the  common  everyday 
motives  to  useful  employment  thus  set 
before  the  young  deliiKjuents  are  of  the

Ido   not   iuterfere  with   the  moat  exalted

Th§  new  SuccetitioH  and  Legacy  Duty 
7)ib(t9.  Bm  C.  M.  Willich.-  We  have 
already  noticed  the  useful  series  of  popubr 
tables,  to  whicli  ibe  present  appear  as  a 
aiipplemcnt.  No  one  nrho  has  been  plac^ 
in  the  position  of  an  executor  will  fail  to 
recognise  the  advantage  of  a  ready  matiual 
for  reference  as  to  the  dutiet)  j«ayablc  upon 
legacies  and  annuities  even  under  the  old 
law,  but  this  has  become  still  more  neces- 
sary from  the  unavoidably  complex  cha- 
racter of  the  new  Succession  Duties  Act. 
This  Act  came  into  operation  from  the  19th 
May,  1853.  It  imposes  dutien  to  the  same 
amount  as  the  Legacy  Duty  Acts  according 
to  consanguinity,  except  that  the  brother 

Gent,  Ma**,  Vot,.  XLK 


or  sister  of  a  graudtatber  Of  grandmother 
of  the  deceased  or  their  desceiidnoits  will 
pay  SLK  per  cent,  instead  of  ten.  This 
alteration  is  also  introduced  in  the  scale 
for  legacy  duties.  The  interest  of  every 
sticcessor  to  real  property  (in  which  are 
included  leaseholds  of  ail  df*nomtnatinn^) 
is  considered  to  be  the  vrIqc  of  an  unnnity 
equal  to  the  current  value  of  such  pro- 
perty during  the  residue  of  his  Ufe,  or  any 
less  period  during  which  he  shall  be  en- 
titled to  it,  Tlic  tables  appended  to  the 
Act  are  of  great  length,  which  was  neces- 
sary in  order  to  cstabli,sh  the  mode  of 
estimating  the  value  of  property  held  upon 
any  number  of  joint  lives.  Mr.  Wtllich 
has  confined  himself  in  the  tables  before 
US  to  the  case  where  there  is  only  one  life, 
that  of  the  successor,  to  be  taken  into 
consideration  ;  but  »s  thi*  constitntes  the 
getieral  rule,  they  will  be  found  in  almost 
every  instance  to  provide  oil  the  informa- 
tion required.

Mr.  J.  Rogers  described  lome  remark-

in  church  architecture  designated  as ''  Lych-

of  Cornwall,  oear  the  Lizard  Point,  in  the 
churches  of  Mawgan,  Crude,  Cury,  and 
Wendron»  He  exhibited  drawings  uud 
plans  in  iUustration  of  these  curious  details^ 
situated  in  a  locality  little  known  to  anti- 
quaries* 

An  acoount  of  discoveries  of  sepolchral 
umi  on  Ballon  Kill,  co.  Carlo w,  by  Mr, 
Richardson  Smith,  was  read.  They  are 
of  remarkably  elaborate  workmanship,  and 
highly  ornamented.  A  cemetery  of  great 
extent  appears  to  hare  existed  al  thti  spot, 
and  urns  have  been  found  at  various  times 
in  great  numbers.  Many  of  them  have 
been  wajitonly  destroyed  or  through  super- 
alitioiis  notions,  under  the  belief  that  they 
were  fitbricated  by  witches.  In  some  in- 
stances the  urns  were  placed  within  a  kind 
of  cromlech^  and  skeletons  were  found 
mixed  amongst  the  interments,  which  in- 
dicated the  practice  of  cremation.  Some 
of  the  urns  from  Ballon  Hill  were  placed 
in  the  Archiuolo^ical  Court  at  the  Dublin 
Indnstrial  Exhibitiou,  aod  excited  much 
attention  on  account  of  their  curious  de- 
coration* 

Mr.  H.  O'Neill  produced  a  series  of 
rubbings  from  the  most  characteriKtic  do- 
sifnt  on  certain  sculptured  crosses  of  stone 


in  Ireland.  The  notice  of  antiquaries  has 
been  called  to  this  class  of  early  Christian 
monuments  by  the  recent  exhibition  of 
several  casta  at  Dublin,  which  have  been 
transferred  to  the  Sydenham  coUectionfl. 
lMr«  O'Neill  offered  aome  remarks  on  the 
peculiarities  of  orDnmentation^  and  stated 
that  the^e  crosses  are  sculptured  in  granite 
or  some  material  obtained  in  Ireland.  He 
exhibited  several  drawings  of  examples  at 
MoDaiterhotce,  Kelh,  Kilklispeen,  4kc. 
and  stated  that  the  continuation  of  hia 
lUuatrations  of  theie  remarkable  sculptarea 
would  forthwith  he  published. — Mr,  Wett- 
wood  remarked  that  it  was  important  to 
trace  the  origin  of  these  productioos,  form- 
ing a  remarkable  section  in  the  history  of 
art.  It  had  been  imagined  that  these 
croaaes  were  brought  from  Italy  or  some 
foreign  country;  and  one  of  the  recent 
writers  on  Irish  antiquities  bad  even  de- 
nied tht;  poflstbility  of  their  having  been 
produced  by  Iriih  workmen.  Tlie  fact 
that  they  are  ccimpOMed  of  matenaU  indi- 
genous to  the  country  deserves  notice. 
The  oonjectnrfl  that  they  had  been  brought 
from  Rome  was»  however,  sufiicientiy  dis- 
proved by  comparison  with  Irish  illuniina> 
tioDS  and  other  works  of  an  early  period 
in  the  sister  kingdom. — In  reference  to 
the  same  subject  of  inquiry,  Mr.  Weatma- 
cott  remarked  that  it  deserved  careful  con- 
sideration, as  leading  to  a  question  Ckf  grant 
interest  iu  regurd  to  the  history  of  Alt. 
The  character  of  the  relic vi  and  the  tlyle 
of  ornament  showed  points  of  essential 
difference  frotn  the  features  of  Italian  de« 
sign,  in  eacamples  which  might  he  assigned 
to  contemporary  dates.  The  ornament  of 
these  Irisjh  suulpiurea  is  very  peculiar,  and 
bears  little  or  no  reiemblaocc  to  that  found 
in  early  works  in  Italy;  but  it  presenta 
sufficient  analogy  with  the  types  occurring 
in  the  East  to  make  it  worth  inquiry 
whether  the  design  of  these  crosses  may 
not  have  been  derived »  directly  or  indi- 
rectly, from  that  source.  Amongst  consU 
derations  which  wouldsomewhnt  strengthen 
this  Buppo&ition,  the  «titf  and  ugly  forms 
given  to  the  human  figure  may  be  men- 
tioned as  deserving  especial  notice.  At 
an  early  period  there  was  great  variance 
of  opinion  iu  regard  to  the  character  of 
form  suitable  for  the  repreaentation  of 
sacred  persons  ;  and  according  to  one 
party,  chiefly  of  the  Eastern  Church,  it 
was  considered  that  the  Saviour  ought  not 
to  be  portrayed  under  a  form  of  beauty^ 
but,  00  the  contrary,  of  a  repulsive  cha- 
racter. This  strange  opinion  seems  to 
have  been  founded  on  the  expressions  of 
the  prophet  Isaiah—"  He  hath  no  form  or 
oomeHness/'  and,  "  There  is  no  beauty 
that  we  should  desire  bimt"  From  the

Mr.  Clarke,  of  Easton,  reported  the 
discovery  of  some  coins  at  Brnndeston«  in 
Suffolk,  consisting  of  a  penny  of  Edw,  K 
a  half-groat  of  Blixabeth,  a  shilling  of 
Charles  II.  and  a  sixpence  of  William  HI. 
A  fetterlock  had  also  been  found  at  the 
same  place,  having  a  rib  of  brass  on  each 
side  of  the  barreli  patting  through  the 
loop  of  the  bow  to  form  the  joint.  At 
Letheringham  i  dUcovery  of  coint  hi 
alto  been  made,  among  which  were  mtny^ 
tokens  of  VAriout  traders^,  sperimenit  of  th^ 
silver  cotnafEc  of  tleniy  VIII.  Charles  L 
and  James  II. 

Mr.  Walter  Hawkins,  F.K.A,  eihibit4»d 
a  Roman  Christian  lamp,  and  Mr.  H, 
Syer  Cuming  read  a  short  paper  upon  tliat 
and  other  tpecimena  which  he  eibiblted 
on  the  occasion.  They  were  all  of  terra 
cotttt.  One  had,  in  low  relief,  a  peacock 
with  its  tail  spread  out,  and  over  it  were 
tliiee  niiiihi,  cmhiemfltic  of  the  Trinity, 
The  peacock  h  an  eiirly  Cbrittian  emblem*  | 
and  is  met  with  in  the  Roman  catacomba«. 
both  alone  and  in  conjunction  with  thai 
Cross.  Another  specimen  was  found  at 
Colchester,  bearing  the  sacred  monogramt 
and  a  er»jt'  ffemmaiat  the  floriated  cross  of 
Triumph.  It  h  also  ornamented  with  re- 
prpjientatiomi  of  dovei,  presumed  to  be 
typical  of  the  seven  gifts  of  the  Holy 
Spirit.  This  lamp  is  of  Byaantine  work- 
manship. 

Mr.  Pretty  produced  noticea  of  the  dii- 
covery  of  Roman  remalna  at  Hardingitonoi 
in  Northamptontbire.    The  pottery  fotinil  | 
resembled  that  deacribed  by  the  late  Mr.

esceptioD  of  the  Count  de  la  Yiticinarqa(\ 
imthorA  have  merely  treated  of  tliU  period 
MS  iiD  epis<)de  in  works  of  a  luoi'c  extended 
nature,  whife  the  atteniion  of  the  learned 
BUthoi'  of  the  Pof  mes  des  Barde«  Bretoua 
du  vj*^'  Sitl'cle  has  been  fto  niudi  directed 
to  the  literature  of  Brit  any  and  Wales, 
that  he  is  natnrally  led  to  attach  too  tittle 
weight  to  the  information  obtainable  from 
other  sources,— such  aa  the  Saxon  chro- 
nicles, the  Ecclesiastical  vritinfi,  and  the 
Irish  amiaU.  It  might,  however,  be  con- 
lidently  maintaliied  that  no  chfouology 
could  be  satiffHCtory  which  did  not  unite 
the  facta  contained  in  these  independent 
authorities  into  something  tike  a  consistent 
whole. 

After  briefly  enumerating  the  various 
battles  recorded  by  the  three  bards, — 
Talieain^  Llywarch,  and  Aneurin,  with 
Ihe  dates  assigned  to  them  hj  Viilemarqiie, 
viz,  the  battle  of  Argoedt  in  which  Urien 
of  Keghed  and  hi&  sou  Owt^o  defeated  the 
Saion  leader  known  as  the  Flamebearer^ 
circa  A,o,  547  i  the  battle  of  G  wcnn  Ys- 
trad,  between  M7-579i  the  combat  of 
Menao^  in  which  a  Saxon  leader,  conjec- 
tured by  Villemarquc  to  be  the  Flame- 
bearer,  was  killed  A.n.  5G0|  a  battle  in 
which  Urieo  was  killed^  between 572-579, 
(thii  ViUBmarque  identifier  with  the  siege 
of  Theodoric  of  Nortliuinberland,  in  the 
inland  of  Medeanti  mentioned  by  Ncnnius,) 
and  lastly,  the  battle  of  Kaltraezj  a.d* 
57*i.58l*,  when  tbe  Sa\onii  successfully 
•ttacked  the  British  kingdom  of  Strath- 
Clyde,  and  captured  Dumbarton,  its  capital 
ciiyt — Mr.  Irving  proceeded  to  examine 
the  grounds  on  which  that  chronology  was 
bttiied,  lu  its  main  Tea  Lures  it  reated  on 
the  identity  of  the^  Flamebearer  with  Ida, 
the  founder  of  the  Northumberland  king* 
dom.  To  thi*>,  however ^  he  objected — 
Ut,  that  tlic  chief  reason  of  identification 
wa»  the  supposed  fact  that  Ida  wa»  the 
most  warUke  King  of  the  Saxons,  and  the 
most  severe  ravager  of  the  HritonsT  but  no 
corroboration  of  thii  wa^  tu  be  found  In 
the  8axon  historians;  on  the  contrary,  he 
proved  by  several  quotationii  from  Bode, 
and  Witloun  of  Malmeahury,  tliat  they  all 
concur  in  aasiguing  thi,s  pre-eminence  to 
Etlielfrid,  his  grami^on  and  aucceasof. 
2nd.  In  a  poem  of  Talieain  it  la  stated 
thatf  when  the  Flanicbearcr  wa^  killed^  he 
was  taken  by  surprise.  No  historian  re- 
lates such  an  incident  in  connexion  with 
Ida,  but  they  all  agree  that  thii»  was  a 
feature  in  the  death  of  Ethelfrid.  3rd, 
Bun,  or  Bebba,  was  the  wife  of  the  Flame- 
bearer.  She  was  killed  at  Kaltraer.  If, 
Itowever^  she  was  the  wife  of  Ida  she  would 
liardljr  have  survived  bim  so  long,  mote 
especialty  if  the  date  of  the  battle  is  found 


to  be  much  later  than  the  period  assigned 
to  it  by  Villemarqae.  Independent  o( 
which  we  have  the  direct  evidence  of  Neii- 
ninsi  that  she  was  the  wife  of  Ethelfrid, 
who  gave  her  the  town  of  Bamhorough 
in  Northumberland,  which  from  her  was 
called  Bebbenberg.  The  idea  that  Urien 
was  killed  when  beseigiug  Theodoric  ap- 
pears to  be  founded  on  an  erroneous  inter- 
pretation of  the  pastage  in  Nennius.  For 
this  opinion  several  reasons  were  given, 
and,  intfr  aUOf  the  fact  that  Urien  ts  there 
stated  to  have  fought  ant  only  against 
Theodoric,  but  also  against  his  successorN 
Freothwulf  and  Hnisa.  The  date  aialgned 
to  thf  battle  of  KaUrac2,  it  was  contended, 
was  much  too  carly»  because  Aneurin, 
who  celebrates  this  contest,  expressly 
mentions  the  fall  in  it  of  Domnal  Brec, 
King  of  the  Scots,  and  it  was  ahown  that 
this  event  appears  in  Ihe  annati  of  Ulsl«r 
under  a.o.  (>41;  while  the  accuracy  of 
this  record  is  corroborated  by  the  season 
of  tlie  year  when  his  death  occurred,  and 
also  by  the  Dubradic  Duan  and  the  annals 
of  Tyhearnac. 

After  stating  these  objections  to  the 
received  chronology,  Mr-  Irving  pro- 
ceeded to  explain  that  which  he  proposed 
to  substitute  for  it  ;  and,  as  a  preliminary 
step,  eutered  into  an  examination  of  tfae 
light  which  might  he  thrown  on  the  sab- 
ject  by  an  idcntificatJon  of  three  com- 
panions in  arms  of  Urien,  ennmernted  in 
Nennius  ^  Ryderthen,  Morgan,  and 
Gwallog  —  with  persons  of  whom  notice 
is  met  with  in  the  other  records. 

Ryderthen  he  agreed  with  most  of  the 
previous  authors  must  be  ideutitied  with 
Roderick  the  Bountiful,  the  King  of 
Strathclyde,  and  the  patron  of  St.  Kcn- 
tigeru,  who  reigned  from  550  to  GOl. 
Morgtun  had  sometimes  been  supposed 
to  he  Morkern,  the  predecessor  of  Ro- 
derick \  but  the  facts  recorded  in  the 
life  of  St,  Kentigern  render  this  idea 
untenable,  Yilleniurque  points  to  a  Mor- 
gan, King  of  Glamorgan;  but  the  evidence 
in  the  Liber  Llandavensis,  though  it 
proves  his  existence  at  the  time,  in  no 
way  connects  him  with  these  northern 
waft :  on  the  contrary^  it  appears  impro- 
bable that  n  king  of  South  Wales  should 
be  mixed  up  in  a  struggle  so  far  from 
home,  while  it  is  curious  that  in  only  one 
passage  do  any  of  the.  bards  refer  to  a 
warrior  undoubtedly  from  Wales  proper, 
and  in  it  Morien  of  Fowis  is  called  a 
stranger.  From  these  reasons  Mr*  Irving 
was  induced  to  seek  the  kingdom  of 
Morgan  in  the  North,  und  believes  he  has 
found  it  in  the  Scot*  of  Argyleshire,  who 
are  proved  by  passages  in  Adamnanus 
and  the  Annals  of  Ulster  to  have  invsided 
Northumbfrlaud  in    compuny   with    tlie

The  peculiarity  of  this  cUaa  of  money  is 
that  it  bears  variou*  aniinala,  probably 
with  symbolic  meaniDgs.  On  the  coin  in

Fuhnen.  Some  pertouir  observlDg  near  a 
few  moleholes  in  the  ground  several  coins 
lying  about,  commenced  digging  np  the 
soil  close  thereto ;  when,  to  their  surprise, 
they  found  the  remains  of  a  leathern  bag, 
which  bad  been  decorated  with  gold  orna- 
menta,  in  which,  and  round  about  it,  were 
a  quantity  of  broken  nerk laces  and  brace- 
lets of  silver  of  very  curious  workmanship, 
and  250  pieces  of  silver  coins.  These 
coins  in  part  contained  on  the  obverse  side 
a  head,  with  and  without  a  sceptre,  with 
the  inscription,  ''  Adelred  Ri  Anglo  i'* 
and  ou  the  reverse  a  cross,  with  an  iu»cnp< 
tion,  but  which  aa  yet  has  not  been  made 
out«  It  is  thought  that  these  coins  be- 
longed to  some  portion  of  the  Danegeld^ 
by  which  King  *'  Ethelred  the  Unwise/^ 
at  the  conctusioii  of  the  tenth  century, 
sought  to  compromise  the  devastating  in- 
cursions of  the  Danish  King,  Svend 
Tvcikjog,  Besides  these  coins,  there  were 
others,  bearing  Byxantine  and  Latin  in- 
scriptions, with  busts  and  Bishop*s  mitres 
on  thejn,  In  all,  there  are  thirty  different 
sorts  of  coins  found,  which  have  been  for- 
warded to  the  Ancient  Northern  Museum 
at  Copenhagen.  The  island  in  question  has 
never  been  touched  by  the  ploughshare  \ 
and  it  appears  that  this  store  haa  been  the 
reiult  of  some  former  plunder,  which,  for 
security *s  sake,  was  placed  in  the  poeition 
in  which  it  was  found. 

The  fine  cabinet  of  coins  fonoed  by  the 
Ute  Mr.  Christopher  Edmonds  haa  just 
been  sold  by  Menra.  Sotheby  and  Wilkin- 
son. It  comprised  only  270  specimeDs, 
collected  with  judgment  and  great  taste» 
and  cootaiued  some  of  the  choicest  exam^ 
pics  in  point  of  artistic  merit  and  beauty 
of  preservation.  The  following  were  aome

The  ciplanalions  given  to  the  Uttaiian 
Miiiifttenj  at  lynndon  and  Paris  of  tlie  at- 
titude of  the  combii^ed  fleets  in  the  Black 
Seii  not  being  considered  satisfactory, 
(hose  niioisstcrtfi  have  withdrawn  from  their 
reBpi<ctive  mi»tsion«».  Baron  Brunow^  had 
on  interview  with  Lord  Clarendon  on  the 
6th  of  Feb.  for  the  puqjosc  of  furnially 
Fuspeoding  diplomatic  relationi,  aud  left 
London  for  Brn.iicU  on  the  8th.  M, 
Kisfideff  r|uited  Paris  on  llie  Gth. 

OrdciH  wcro  immediately  sent  to  Sir 
liamiltoo  Seymour  and  Geu.  Caatelbajac 
liy  the  rrspectiTe  governmeatB  of  England 
and  France  to  leave  St.  Petersburg,  and 
Active  preparations  for  war  with  Rufiaia 
■re  now  proceeding  in  both  countries. 

The  Emperor  Nicbolto,  after  deriining 
the  terms  offered  by  the  Vienna  Conference 
and  diacnted  to  by  Turkey,  proposed  other 
lermHi  the  basis  of  which  waii  that  a 
Tnrkbh  plenipotentiary  sshonld  go  to  St. 
Petersburg  and  advific  with  the  repre- 
^ntativcB  of  the  four  conrts,  but  that 
there  whonld  be  no  formal  conference* 
The  demand:!  of  Prince  Menachikoff  were 
likewise  renewed,  and  a  treaty  tigainat 
affording  asylum  to  revolutionists  de- 
manded. These  terms  were  unaniniousily 
considered  by  the  conference  as  not  suit- 
able to  be  proposed  to  Turkey.  The 
Emperor  nlao  sent  Count  Orloff  on  a 
special  mtssioa  to  tJie  Courts  of  Vienna 
and  Berlin  to  endeavour  to  detach  ihi'm 
from  the  western  powers,  aud  induce 
tbem  to  form  aoroe  treaty  either  of  alliance 
or  neutrality.  His  effurts,  however,  arc 
understood  to  have  been  completely  no- 
succe&sfult  aud  a  ttmilar  proposal  through 
Count  Budberg,  the  Russiian  Minister  iit 
Berlin,  to  the  Prussian  Government,  ac- 
campanied  by  a  promise  of  protection  on 
the  part  of  the  Emperor,  baa  been  rejected 
with  some  indignation.  The  Prince  of 
10 


Prussia  hag  declared  openly  for  an  alliance  J 
with  France  and  England. 

On  the  2yth  of  January,  tlie  Emperor  ; 
Napoleon  addressed  an  antograph  letter 
to  the   Emperor  of  Russia,   stating   his 
anxious  desire  for  peace,  and  offering  to 
reopen  tht.'  negociations  and  withdraw  thfl  \ 
ftcct  from  the  Black  Sea,  on  condition  of  J 
the  simultaneous  evacuation  of  the  Princi- 
palities.    This  letter  appears  to  have  been 
rather   intended   ad   a   manifesto    to    the  1 
French  people  than  with  any  hope  of  sfii 
ces«  in  bringing  about  a  peace.     The  reply 
of  the  Cz^ar   has  been  a  positive  refusal, 
and  is  Raid  to  be  couched  in  terms  not 
over  courteous  to  the  French  Emperor. 

PHnoe  Napoleon,  cousin  of  the  Em- 
peror, is  on  a  state  visit  to  Belgium,  by 
the  invitation  of  King  Leopold.  This 
fact  ift  held  to  prove  the  adhesion  of  the 
Belgian  Court  to  the  aide  of  France  and 
England. 

The  flench  contingent  of  the  army 
destined  for  service  in  Turkey  will  be 
70jOO()  men  ;  the  lirst  two  divisions,  under 
Generals  Canrobcrt  and  Boacqnct,  will 
leave  Toulon  and  .\lgiers  on  the  1st  of 
Miirch. 

Since  the  Battle  of  Citate  the  military 
operntions  in  JVnUackin  have  not  been 
important.  A  letter  of  Omar  Poaha, 
published  in  the  Motiitcur,  states  the 
number  of  Russians  killed  in  that  battle 
at  3,tHlD,  including  three  colonels  and 
many  other  officers.  Gen.  Orloff,  the  Rus- 
sian commander  (?  Gt*n.  Anrep),  has  since 
died  of  his  wounds.  The  Turks  had  3t)0 
men  killed  and  700  wounded,  among  the 
latter  Ismail  and  Mustnpha  Pasha.  Skir* 
mishcA  art'  constantly  taking  place  be* 
tween  the  outposts  ft  lone;  the  whole  line  of 
Hie  Danube,  and  the  Turks  have  several

Bineau,  ha^  published  a  report  on  the 
financial  results  of  the  year  185:^.  With- 
out any  new  tax  or  loan  150,0O0p00Or. 
have  been  spent  in  public  works,  and  tbe 
redaction  of  tlie  Fife  per  Cents,  to  Four- 
and-a-Hslf  per  Cent,  Stock  has  enabled 
the  Government  to  save  about  SOO.OOOA, 
on  the  interest  of  tbe  funded  debt.  At 
the  same  time  tbe  aunual  deficit  has  been 
rednceJ,  by  a  large  increase  in  the  or- 
dinary sources  of  revenue.  The  whole 
deficiency  on  the  year  1853  had  been  csti- 
mated  at  4,000,000/.  sterling;  but,  to 
meet  this  deficiency,  there  has  been  an  in- 
crease in  the  receipts,  over  and  above  the 
estimated  revenue,  of  more  than  3,1100,000/. 
sterling,  and  the  difference  between  the 
revenue  actually  received  and  the  actual 
expenditure  of  last  year  is  stated  to  be 
onlyieO.OOO/.  Thedirect  and  indirect  t^iiea 
of  the  year  1852  produced  06,500,0001'. 
(2,800,000/.)  more  than  the  preceding 
year ;  and  the  year  1B53  has  produced 
42,000,000f.  (l,750,00O;.)  more  than  IB52.

(tec  our  Vol  xxii,  p.  64fi),  were  uoturAl 
children  of  Gcor?;e  de  la  Pocr  Bereaford,

Aogasf ,  1  rB5^  aa  Ensign  in  the  6th  Foot. 
In  the  spring  of  J 786  he  embarked  with 
hii  reiBfiinent  for  Nova  Scotia,  where  he 
raoeived  bla  fin t  wound,  which  deprived 
bim  of  the  sight  of  his  left  e5e,  from  the 
fttfl  of  ft  brother  eporUman.  With  thi4 
f  r^t  disadvantage  he  began  a  professional 
cMttrTf  not  te*8  remarkable  for  its  great 
anoceas  than  forits  varied  character— «Iike 
diatinj^nished  by  bold  adventure,  oceaaional 
iTvr-  "-  *'  r  ditpUy  of  reckless  during, 
aiv  ise  of  confide; rablc  skill.    He 

rcii  itig  the  first  four  years  of  his 

military  life  in  Nova  Scotia ;  but,  having 
been  appointed  to  a  Lieutenancy  in  the 
16th  Foot,  retortied  to  Engbnd  in  1790, 
Htt  was  promoted  in  Jan,  IT9I,  to  the 
nink  of  CaptatfHond  in  the  May  foUotving 
(ibtainetl  a  compnny  in  the  ti^nh  Foot, 

Early  in  1793  Captain  BercsfonJ,  with 
bis  regiment,  embarked  at  Cork  for  foreign 
aenrice*  and  formed  part  of  the  flrojy  which 
in  the  spring  of  that  year  took  poMcs^ion 
of  Toulon.  M  hen  the  British  troop*  evn- 
coated  that  pbee,  he  uccompuiiied  the  force 
which  w»fi  sent  to  Cursict,  »nd  wasi  in  the 
midst  of  the  hoLtcsl  tighting  at  CaWi, 
Bastia.  and  8t.  Fiorenzu.  His  promotion 
was  rapid;  be  was  adfitnced  to  the  rank 
of  Mi^or  in  March,  1 794  ;  to  tUat  of  Lten- 
tenant- Colo  Del  on  the  !  I  tb  Ang,  follow- 
ing; and  (Ji  1795  we  fiad  him  the  com- 
nuinding  offic«r  of  the  88th  Foot.    In  thcit 

SMUT  hit  rfgiment  embarked   nnder   Sir 
iilpb  Abercfomby  for  the  Weal  Indie*, 


bat  the  88tb  were  recalled,  and  Colonel 
Bereaford  remained  on  home  service  unlit, 
in  1799,  he  sailed  for  India.  He  had 
icarcely  more  than  arrived,  however,  when 
he  was  ordered  to  proceed  by  the  Red  Sea 
to  Egypt,  being  entrusted  with  the  com- 
mand of  a  bi-igade  in  Sir  David  Baird's 
army.  Having  fought  his  way  through 
the  Egvpttan  campaign,  he  returned  to 
this  country,  and  in  the  year  1 800  received 
the  brevet  rank  of  Colonel. 

The  nett  field  of  active  opcrntioni  in 
which  his  aervicei  were  required  was  the 
Cape  of  Good  Hope,  in  the  re-con  quest  of 
which  colony  he  bore  a  conspicuous  part. 
From  tbence,  with  the  rank  of  Brigadier- 
General,  be  was  sent  in  command  of  a 
amall  detachment  to  aeize  Bnenoa  Ayres, 
where  a  first  saooeaswas  soon  followed  by 
reverse.  He  obtained  poasession  of  the 
city,  and  won  aome  victories  in  the  open 
field  }  be  had,  however,  only  1200  men 
under  his  command,  ond,  the  enemy  hav- 
ing ftt  length  succeeded  in  getting  together 
as  many  thousands,  General  Beresford 
wa9^  after  three  days'  resistance,  obliged 
to  capitulate,  though  he  placed  700  of  the 
enemy  hort  de  combat.  General  Linlera, 
who  was  opposed  to  Bcresford  on  tliia 
occasion,  ndmiti:«>d  that  he  had  agreed  to 
receive  and  treat  the  Uriibh  as  prisonen  of 
war,  who  were  to  be  forthwith  exchanged; 
bat  his  governmeni  maintained  that  our 
forces  hnd  surrendered  at  discretion. 
Liniers  honourably,  but  ineffectuiiDy,  pro- 
tested against  this  grots  breach  of  faith  ; 
ond  Genernl  Bercsl'ord,  having  betn  de- 
tained a  prisoner  for  six  months,  contrived 
early  in  the  year  1807  to  effect  his  escape, 
and  returned  to  England, 

In  the  winter  of  1807  an  expedition  was 
i^nt  to  Madeira,  of  whioh  the  naval  por- 
tion was  commanded  by  Admiral  Hood, 
and  the  troops  by  General  Bereaford.  By 
this  force  Madeira  was  seised  on  the  24th, 
of  December  io  that  year,  and  thencefor- 
ward retained  in  trust  for  the  royal  family 
of  Porlugnl,  which  bad  jnst  then  emigrated 
to  the  Braaijs. 

I'be  time  had  at  length  arrived  when 
there  was  to  be  an  ead  of  thego  separate 
and  desultory  expeditions,  and  the  forces 
of  England  were  to  be  concentrated  opon 
(he  vast  Geries  of  operations  koown  as  the 
Peninsular  War.  General  Bereaford  re- 
mained m  the  offices  of  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Cbief  at  Madeira  until 
Aaguit,  1808,  when  he  was  called  upon 
to  join  the  British  army  in  Portugal,  where 
he   arrived   shortly  after   the   luttlc    of

Bat,  with  hifh  riaaliAcations  and  fServid 
joal,  Berftford  began  hit  task  like  a  man 
thoroughly  in  eamett — he  wonlri  hare 
them  well  teS,  well  paid,  well  clothed, 
well  appointed,  well  lodged »  and  hard 
worked.  No  more  planderioi^,  not  eren 
petty  pilfering  escaped  the  bah ;  no 
aMre  sloth,  no  more  neglect  of  health,  no 
more  rioting,  no  drawing  of  kniTes  on 
each  other,  no  intemperance,  not  ev^n  the 
shadow  or  ffemblan<M!  of  disorder.  It  was 
a  relentless  tTranny,  but  yet  a  ]>erfect  di»- 
dpline,  which  thus  converted  an  imbecile 
rabble  into  a  brave  and  powerful  army. 
To  institute  a  comparison  between  him 
and  other  commanilers  would  be  inridious ; 
bat  it  may  at  least  In*  said  that  his  military 
reputation,  though  very  high,  was  not  of 
the  most  eminent  order— at  all  events,  not 
in  the  conduct  of  operations  on  a  grand 
scale.  But  in  organisation  snd  discipline, 
in  the  art  of  quickly  turning  swarms  of 
ueasants  into  legions  of  clever  soldiers,  he 
had  no  rival ;  and  lie  exercincil  this  species 
of  ability— which  is  most  rare  as  well  as 
iirecious — with  equal  snccess  among  the 
Portuguese,  to  whom  he  was  alien,  as 
among  those  of  his  owb  countrymen  with 
whom  he  was  brst  acquainted.  The  sol-

of  October.  1:^10.  L'poa  many  measo- 
rable  occaaioaa  he  performed  the  daoes  of 
a  geaerai  of  divisioo  ;  and  not  one  aaaoag 
the  illvatrioiu  leaders  who  cuotriboted  to 
the  military  renown  of  England  during 
the  campaigns  in  Spain  and  Portugal  ever 
displayed  more  ability  or  devotion  in  car- 
rying oot  the  instractions  of  his  com- 
maader.  His  merits  in  the  exercise  of  an 
independent  and  separate  command  form 
quite  another  question,  which  may  best 
be  conaidered  in  connexion  with  the  san- 
guinary battle  of  Albnera.  where  it  be- 
came his  duty  to  lead  27.000  men.  For 
England  that  battle  was  a  victory,  and  to 
the  soldiers,  as  well  as  to  the  officers,  a 
source  of  undying  renown :  the  men 
dropped  by  whole  r  inks,  but  never  thought 
of  turning  ;  they  fell  without  flinching — 
*'  their  backs  to  the  earth  and  their  feet 
to  the  foe."  Our  allies  numbered  20,000, 
and,  though  the  Portuguese  fought  well, 
while  the  Spaniards  behaved  not  much 
worse  than  usual,  yet,  according  to  cus- 
tom, the  burden  of  the  fight  was  borne 
and  the  ])rice  of  the  victory  paid  by  the 
British  troops.  From  1,500  English 
muskets  a  parting  volley  fell  upon  the 
routed  columns  of  the  French  as  they  fled 
down  the  Sierra;  but  the  remainder  of 
our  force,  which  that  morning  had  ex- 
ceeded 6,000  men,  lay  dead  or  bleeding 
on  the  field  of  battle.  Still  it  would  be  a 
hard  measure  of  justice  to  throw  all  the 
blame  of  this  result  upon  any  Hl>8olute 
incapacity  of  Sir  William  Beresford.  Soult 
was  perhaps  the  very  ablest  of  the  French 
MarsbaU  ;  his  force  was  complete  in  every

Obituary.— G^<?m^  Lord  Beresford, 


613 


ariDr  while  the  iroopi  led  by  the  Eoglkh 
General  were  comparatively  few  in  nuro> 
bcr»  and  the  Spanish  portirjn  of  the  army 
ill  provided,  ill  office  red  ^  and  worse  com- 
manded*     In  all  battles  errors  of  jadg* 
uent  are  committed  by  the  moft  succett- 
fnj  eomwaadem  ;  and»  ia  retrieving  tach 
errors,  no  roan  could  display  more  gfd- 
lantry  than  Sir  William  Bereaford.     Like 
Richard  I.  his  bercalean  strength  and  in- 
tense pugnacity  impelled  him  to  pErfjrm 
the  duties  oF  a  mao-at-arma  ralLer  than 
those  of  a  circumspect  leader.     He  was 
not  posted  on  a  height  in  the  rear  of  his 
army*  according  to  the  practice  of  maoy 
generals,  but,  placing  himaclf  at  the  head 
of  every  lucce^iive  advance,  he  was  always 
to  be   found   wherever  the  battle   raged 
most  fiercely,  one  moment  dragging  for- 
ward a  Spaoiah   standard-bearer  literally 
by  the  coUar,  while  at  another  period  of 
the  fight   he  was  seen  engaged  hand  to 
hand  mtb  a  Polish  Lancer  who  had  at* 
tacked  him,  and  whom  he  grasjMd  by  the 
throat,  pulled  out  of  hi»  saddle ,  and  flung 
to  the  earth  aii  an  ordinary  man   would 
ttnhorse  a  boy.     The  battle  of  Albuera — 
considering  the  high  reputation  of  Soult» 
the  numerical  streogth  of  the  French,  and 
the  peiiod  of  the  war — wo*  undoubtedly 
an  important  victory ;  *    yet  less  of  Sir 
,  WUliftm  Bereaford'a  fatne  la  derived  from 
Bsngoinary  conflict   than  from    the 
[admirable  manner  in  which  lie  was  accus- 
[lomed  to  carry  out  the  designs  of  hii  chief 
i  when  acting  under  the  immediate  supcr- 
{▼iiion    of   that    great  commander.     The 
'  thanks  of  Parliament  were  on  the  7th  of 
June  voted  "to  Sir  William   Beresford 
and  to  the  army  under  his  command  for 
the  glorious  Battle  of  Albuera/  fought  on 
I  the  16th  of  May,  181L     Mr.  PercevQl, 
[being  then  First  Minister,  proposed  the 
iTote  in  a  triumphant  speech,  and  the  pro- 
Iposition   was  seconded   by   Lord  Caatlc- 
iTeagb  amid  much  cheering.     It  is  a  re- 
[ttdukable  coincidence  that  on   the   same 
writ  was  issued  for  the  county 
erford,  avacancy  having  been  created 
repreeentatioo,  which  Sir  William 
'Beresford  was  immediately  elected  to  fill. 
Jmight  of  the  shire  for  the  county  of 
"    ■     "   Sir  WilltMQ   Beresford  made 
I  and  gave  no  votes.     In  those 
larqueas  of  Waterford  could. 


with  the  aid  of  one  or  two  othen,  nominate 
whomsoever   ho  pleased    to    sit    for  his 
xounty  ;  but  it  was,  in  effect ,  keeping  the 
seat  vacant   to  confer  it    on    a  general 
officer  whose  position  at  the  head  of  a 
foreign    army    nltogether    precluded    bis 
attendance  in  Parliamentf  and  even  shut 
him  out  from  a  knowledge  of  those  aflairs 
which  in  the  present  day  the  humblest 
legislator  is  expected  to  understand.     At 
the  general   election   m    1812   he  was   a 
second  time  returnct|  for  Waterford  i  but, 
absent  from  Wcatminstcr,  he  was  pre^nt 
wherever  contcits  were  decided i  not  by 
peaceful  votes,  but  by  bayonets  and  artil- 
lery, bearing  his  part  at  Bndajos,  where 
the  Duke  of  Weilington  marked  his  con- 
duct with  especial  thanks  and  approbation ; 
at    Salamanca,    wliero    he  was    severely 
wounded ;    at    Victoria ;    at    tbe    various 
battles  on  the  Pyrenees ;  at  Nivelle,  where 
he  led  the  right  of  the  centre ;  at  Nive, 
and  at  Orthea.     It  was  also  his  fortunate 
lot  to  be  in  command  of  the  British  troops 
which  took  podiiession  of  Borcleaux,  and 
he  subsequently  bore  a  distinguished  part 
in  the  battle  of  Toulou&e.     When  be  was 
raised  to  the  peerage  in  May,  18H|  a  grant 
of  2,000/.  per  annum  wns  made  to  himself 
and  the  two  next  inheritors  of  the  title  ; 
bnt  he  has  died  without  issue.     Soon  after 
hia  return  to  thia  country  the  city  of  Lon- 
don presented  him  with  a  valuable  sword, 
and  in  July^  1B15,  he  was  honoured  with 
the  especial  acknowledgments  and  thanks 
of  the  Prince  Regent,  receiving  from  the 
hands  of  his   Royal  Highness   the   high 
distinction  of  a  cross  and  seven  clasps.     In 
addition   to   the  order  of  the  Bath,   he 
received  that  of  the  Tower  and  Sword, 
those  of  St,   HcrracncgilJe,  of  San  Fer- 
nando, of  St.  Ferdinand  and  Merit,  and  the 
Hanoverian  Goelphic  order.    The  Spanish 
Government  conferred  upon  him  the  title 
of  Marquess  of  Campo* Mayor  and  Duke 
of  Elvas;  the   Portuguese  that  of  Conde 
di  Trancoso  ;  and,  shortly  after  his  return 
from  tlic  Peninsula,  he  received  from  bis 
own  Sovereign  the  Governorship  of  Jersey. 
In  the  latter  end  of  the  summer  of  IB  15 
he  was  commissioned  to  proceed  to  Por- 
tugal, for  the  purpose  of  negotiating  with

314     Obit(7AAT«-*(7^,  Sir  Alexander  Mackenzie^  Bart.    [March, 

Portogal,  or  Uom  toy  of  our  alliet  io  the 
proicctttion  of  the  war,  toon  pawed  awajr, 
and  Lord  Bf  renford  continued  to  maintaio' 
•o  good  an  underttanding  with  the  Porta- 
roeae  OoTemtnent,  that  within  two  jeari 
froin  that  time  he  wag  employed  by  them 
to  procee'l  to  Rio  Janeiro,  where  he  fop- 
pretaed  a  conspiracy  that  at  firat  threatened 
to  be  formidable.  In  the  year  1822  he 
reeeited  the  appointment  of  Lieatenant- 
Oeneral  of  the  Ordnance,  and  the  com- 
mand of  the  ICth  Pbot.  In  1825  he  waa 
promoted  to  the  ranic  of  General  in  the 
army ;  and  when  the  Duke  of  Wellington 
became  head  of  the  Gorcrnment  in  1828 
Viacoant  Bereaford  aenred  under  him  aa 
Maater-General  of  the  Ordnance,  which 
office  he  held  till  the  Whigs  came  into 
power  In  Not.  1830. 

Here  ended  Uie  public  career  of  Vla- 
connt  Bereaford ;  and,  considering  that  he 
had  now  "  declined  into  the  vale  of  years," 
it  might  be  supposed  that  nothing  even  of 
his  personal  history  remained  to  be  added. 
Not  so,  howcTcr,  for  that  which  with  most 
men  is  called  a  settlement  at  the  beginning 
of  life,  was  with  him  a  settling  down  for  old 
ago.  It  was  some  time  after  he  had 
attained  threescore  years  that  ho  took  a 
wife.  On  the  29th  Nov.  1832,  ho  mar- 
ried  the  Hon.  Louisa  Hope,  widow  ot 
Thomas  Hope,  esq.  of  Deepdene,  the 
author  of  Anaitasius,  &c.  and  youngeat 
daughter  of  the  Most  Rev.  William  Berea- 
ford, Archbishop  of  Tuam,  first  Lord 
Decies.  She  died  at  Bcdgebury  Park,  on 
the  2Ut  July,  1R51,  aged  sixty-eight. 

Lord  Bereaford 's  funeral  was  solemnized 
with  much  state  on  Tuesday  the  17tU  Jan. 
at  the  new  church  of  Kilndown,  in  the 
parish  of  Goudhurst,  which  was  erected  in 
1840,  principally  at  the  cost  of  Lord  and 
Ladv  bcrcsford.  The  Bcresford  vault  is 
on  the  south  ttidc  of  the  church,  aud  is 
surmounted  by  u  mausoleum  of  singular 
beauty,  consisting  of  two  tombs  under  a 
canopy  sustained  bv  pillars  of  polished 
granite, — a  design  derived  from  that  of 
the  Scttglin  family  at  Verona.  The  chief 
mourner  was  Mr.  Alex.  J.  Bcresford  Hope, 
M.P.,  step-son  of  the  deceased  ;  and  ho 
was  accompanied  by  Mr.  Henry  T.  Hope, 
Lord  John  BcrcsforJ,  Rev.  J.  E.  Bcrcs- 
ford, Cnpt.  Denis  W.  Pack,  Earl  Talbot, 
Mr.  Dunbar,  I^ord  E.  Bnicc,  Baron  do

Sir  John  Anson,  the  Duko  of  Montrose, 
Rev.  A.  Arm»triing,  Colonel  Windham, 
Mr.  Ladhrokc,  aud  Mr.  E.  Jidmson. 
Among  the  invited  guests  were  Count  de 
Lnvradio,   Count  de  Villa  Real,  Sir  R. 


Harvey,  Dr.  Watson,  \jord  Hardinge, 
Lord  Downes,  Mr.  Vaniellar,  Sir  John 
Hcrschell,  Mr.  Walton  Roberts,  &c.  A 
large  number  of  clergy  was  also  present. 
The  prayers  were  read  by  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Harrison,  assisted  by  a  numerous  choir ; 
and  the  earth  was  sprinkled  on  the  coffin 
by  John  Blunt,  a  veteran  soldier  from  the 
neighbouring  parish  of  Horsmooden,  who 
lost  a  leg  when  fighting  under  Lord  Berea- 
ford at  Albuera. 

After  the  funeral,  the  will  of  the  de- 
ceased was  read  at  Bedgcbury  Park  ;  when 
it  appeared  that  the  Bedgebury  Park  estates 
and  those  in  Staffordshire  and  Derbyshire 
are  bequeathed  to  Mr.  A.  J.  Bcresford 
Hope,  who  is  also  left  residuary  legatee. 
To  Capt.  Denis  William  Pack,  of  the 
Royal  Artillery,  second  son  of  the  late 
Major-General  Sir  Denis  Pack,  K.C.B. 
and  nephew  and  godson  of  the  deceased, 
arc  bequeathed  all  the  estates  in  the  co. 
Carlow,  on  condition  that  he  shall  assume 
the  name  and  arms  of  Beresford.  His 
Lordship's  Orders  are  left  to  the  Marquess 
of  Waterford,  as  head  of  the  house  of 
Beresford.  Tlie  executors  arc  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Armagh,  the  Marquess  of  Water- 
ford,  Sir  John  Kirkland,  Mr.  A.  J.  Bcres- 
ford Hope,  and  Mr.  Drummond  the 
banker. 

Honourable  mention  has  been  made  in 
the  Portuguese  Cortes  of  the  memory  of 
Lord  Beresford  by  the  Duke  of  Terccira 
and  other  officers  who  served  under  him, 
and  his  death  has  been  recorded  upon  the 
journals  of  both  Houses,  with  the  same 
sentiments  of  regret  as  in  the  case  of  the 
Duke  of  Wellington.

Hon.  Robbrt  Henry  Clivk,  M.P. 

Jan.  20.  At  Shrewsbury,  aged  05,  the 
Hon.  Robert  Henry  Clive.  M.F.  of  Oak- 
ley Park ,  Shropshire,  and  Hcwell  Grange, 
Worcestershire,  and  one  of  the  Represen- 
tatives of  the  Southern  division  of  the 
county  of  Salop,  Colonel  Commandant  of 
the  Worcestershire  Yeomanry  Cavalry,  and 
a  Deputy  Lieutenant  of  that  county,  (^hair- 
mao  of  the  Shrewsbury  and  Birmingham 
Railway,  and  Deputy  Chairman  of  the 
Shrewsbury  and  Hereford  Railway,  and  a 
Magistrate  of  the  counties  of  Salop  and 
Worcester. 

This  gentleman  was  the  second  son  of 
Edward  first  Earl  of  Powis  by  Lady  Hen- 
rietta Antonia  Herbert}  fourth  but  only 
surviving  daughter  of  Ilenry-Artliur  first 
Earl  of  Powis,  and  sister  and  heir  to 
George- Edward- Henry- Arthur  the  second 
Earl  of  the  creation  of  1748.  He  was 
born  Januarv  15,  1785,  and  matriculated 
at  St.  John  s  college,  Cambridge,  where 
the  degree  of  M.A.  was  conferred  upon 
him  in  1800. 

During  a  portion  of  the  administration 
of  Lord  Sidmouth  he  undertook  the  duties 
of  Under  Secretary  of  State  for  the  Home 
Department,  and  tfterwtrdi  proceeded  on 


foreign  travel.  On  bis  return  to  this  coun- 
try, and  on  the  resignation  of  his  relative 
Henry  Clive,  esq.  he  was  returned  at  the 
general  election  in  1818,  in  conjunction 
with  hia  brother  Lord  Clive  ^afterwards 
Earl  of  Fowi«),  as  repreaentative  for  the 
borough  of  Ludlow,  a  seat  which  he  re- 
tained until  the  year  l'^32,  when,  on  the 
ebullition  of  party  feeling  excited  by  the 
passing  of  the  Reform  Bill,  he  was  dis- 
placed by  Mr.  Romilly  after  a  Hcvere  con- 
test, remark  ible  for  conduct,  as  Mr.  Clive 
considered  at  the  time,  uncxamplcJ  in 
the  annals  of  elections,  and  he  expressed 
his  determination  not  to  place  himself  in 
a  situation  again  to  be  subjected  to  the 
caprice  of  those  who  had  once  deceived 
him.  His  high  and  honourable  mind  was 
deeply  sensitive  upon  bis  rejection  by  con- 
stituents to  whom  he  had  always  proved 
himself  a  neighbour  alive  to  their  local 
ioterests  and  prosperity, — and  a  repre- 
sentative zealous,  true,  and  faithful  to  the 
great  public  interests  confided  to  his  care 
and  judgment. 

As  a  proof,  however,  of  the  regard  he 
occupied  in  the  breasts  of  his  friends  and 
the  freeholdera  of  the  district,  a  few  days 
only  elapsed  after  his  rejection  by  the 
electors  of  Ludlow,  when  he  was,  without 
the  least  solicitation  on  his  part,  nomi- 
nated and  elected  as  one  of  the  knights  to 
represent  the  Southern  division  of  the 
county  of  Salop,  a  position  which  he  held 
until  the  time  of  his  lamented  decease. 

Althougli  not  prominent  us  a  debater  in 
Parliament,  yet,  during  the  thirty-six  years 
he  was  a  Member  oC  that  House,  he  exer- 
cised such  a  faithful  and  conscientious 
discharge  of  every  duty  to  which  he  was 
called,  that  he  attained  a  popularity  as 
general  as  it  was  well  deserved,  from  many 
whose  views  on  political  matters  did  not 
probably  altogether  coincide  with  his 
own.  He  supported  Conservative  mea- 
sures upon  principle,  and  from  personal 
conviction  was  induced  to  give  his  support 
to  the  free-trade  system  as  promulgated 
by  Sir  Robert  Peel.  In  consequence  of 
this  he  was  occasionally  interrogated  by 
some  of  his  agricultural  constituents,  who 
at  district  and  other  meetings  not  unfre- 
quently  raised  questions,  and  called  for 
explanations  from  him,  in  a  manner  more 
straightforward  than  courteous.  Under 
this  ordeal,  however,  he  had  always  a  ready 
and  sufficient  answer  to  his  catechists,  and, 
from  his  general  knowledge  of  the  com- 
mercial as  well  as  the  agricultural  relations 
of  the  country,  he  was  moreover  enabled 
to  iustify  the  line  of  policy  he  had  taken, 
as  being  in  his  view  the  best  for  the  public 
good.  Whilst  these  subjects  were  under 
discussion,  it  may  be  mentioned  as  a  noble 
trait  in  the  character  of  Mr.  Clive,  that

he  waj  offered  by  thfi  theti  adixiiniistrii* 
tioa  the  peeragr  that  liitd  brcome  dormant 
by  the  decease  of  bjs  bnitlier-in-liiw  Other- 
Arthur  sixth  Eiirl  of  Plymouth,  but  which 
he  in  deference  declined,  'on  the  gromid  of 
political  consistency*  and  that  high  eenss 
of  honour  which  be  considered  dearer  to 
himself  than  either  titles  or  riches. 

As  an  extensive  bind  proprietor  in  the 
comities  of  Srilop  and  Worcester  mid  in 
South  Walea,  Mr.  Cliire  directed  much  of  his 
attention  to  agriculture,  and  endeavoured 
to  excite  bis  tenantry  to  the  adoption  of 
the  most  improved  methods  of  cultiva- 
tion. In  thU  he  was  eminently  succed»ful| 
as  by  his  own  energy^  mtelli^ence,  practi- 
cal knowledge,  and  example ,  he  was  well 
qnaltfied  to  assist  and  direct  them,  and 
which  several  interesting  papers  contri- 
buted by  hitn  to  the  publications  of  the 
Royal  A ijri cultural  Society  of  England 
fully  confirm.  He  also  rendered  much 
assistance  in  his  own  vidnity  as  Presidio nt 
of  the  Ludlow  Agricultural  Society.  To 
this  it  may  be  added^  that  he  was  a  fnoi^t 
generous  and  considerate  landlord^  and  bis 
kindness  was  particularly  evinced  in  pro- 
moting the  comfort  and  welfare  of  the 
cottagers  on  his  cftntci,  which  was  far- 
ther happily  illuatrated  in  the  erection  of 
tasteful  group 3  of  dwellings  for  their  ac- 
commodation, and  in  the  proliiic  gardens 
thereto  attached.  He  was  the  originator 
of  the  Bromfield  Horticultural  Society,  the 
•luinBl  show  of  which  excited  considerable 
Interest. 

Id  whatever  public  business  he  under- 
took he  raanifestcd  the  highest  integrity, 
and  he  was  remarkable  for  unifarm  punc- 
tuality in  relation  to  the  financial  or 
magisterial  afTairs  of  the  counlii;*s  with 
which  he  was  connected,  and  in  bia  attend- 
anoe  at  the  various  railway  meetings  at 
which  he  wa«,  as  chainuan  or  deputy 
chairman,  nfccssitited  to  take  an  active 
and  prominent  part.  In  private  life,  by  hi4 
aflfable  and  mild  disposition^  be  giiincd  the 
esteem  of  all  parties,  and  secured  the 
regard  of  a  large  circle  of  friends,  by  whom 
his  death  will  be  sincerely  regretted,  and 
especially  by  those  who  were  allied  to  him 
in  the  more  endeared  rektioos  of  domestic 
affection,  where  hi^  lit;ht  shone  conspi- 
cuous, as  a  husband,  parent,  master,  and 
Christian  genileman. 

Previoasly  to  the  passing  of  the  Mnnici- 
pal  Act  be  was  for  severil  years  a  member 
of  the  corporation  of  Shrewsbury,  and  in 
1824  be  filled  the  omce  of  treasurer  to  the 
Salop  Infirmary.  He  was  a  member  of, 
and  took  rauHi  interest  in,  th^*  Hereford 
Dioeesan  Buardof  Educ;ilion,  and  in  other 
objects  of  usefulness^  ojji  occ.^ision  required, 
Mr,  Clive  had  a  welUatored  mine  of  in- 
formation on  most  iubjects,  cultivated  in 


his  earlier  years  by  foreign  travel,  and  sub- 
sequently enlarged  by  research  and  obser- 
vation. In  polite  literature  he  had  consi. 
derable  knowledge,  and  in  works  of  art,  of 
which  he  waa  a  connoisseur  and  patron,  he 
evinced  a  refined  and  discriminative  taste. 
In  lB4i  he  publislied  a  volume,  entitled 
"Documents  connected  with  the  Hii.itory 
of  Ludlow  and  the  Lords  Marchera,*'  a 
work  containing  valuable  information  In 
reference  to  the  Court  and  the  Lords  Pre- 
sidents of  the  Marchers  of  Wales,  whose 
jtiriadiction  for  more  than  two  hundred 
years  extended  over  a  wide  tract  of  coun- 
try. In  1^59  be  was  President  of  the 
Cambrian  Arcbieological  Association,  and 
occupied  the  chair  at  the  annual  meeting 
held  at  Ludlow ^  when  he  gave  a  condae 
epitome  of  the  interesting  antiquities 
wbicl*  abound  in  that  locality. 

In  1H19  Mr.  Clive  married  Harriet, 
daughter  of  Other.  Hick  man  fifth  Esr!  of 
Plymouth,  and  sister  and  heiress  of  Other- 
Arthur  the  sixth  Earl  f  that  lady  survives 
him,  with  three  sous  and  three  daugbters, 
namely,  1.  Henrietta- So  rah,  married  last 
year  to  Edward  Hussey,  esq.  ;  C.  Robert 
Clive,  esq.  elected  M,P.  for  Ludlow  in 
1851,  and  marrietliu  lHr>2  to  Lady  Mary 
Selina  Bridgraan,  youngest  daughter  of  tbe 
Earl  of  Bradford ;  3.  Mary ;  4.  George- 
Herbert,  now  in  tbe  East  Indie^i  with  the 
52tid  Regt. ;  5,  William-Windsor^  and 
G.  Victoria- Alexandrina^  a  goddaughter  of 
her  Majesty. 

Ttu  illness  which  cau(»ed  tbe  decease  of 
Mr,  Clive  was  somewhat  sudden  in  its 
nature.  On  the  30th  Dec.  he  kit  his 
home  and  happy  family  in  tolerable  health 
to  attend  a  meeting  of  the  Shrewsbury  and 
Hereford  Railway  at  the  former  town. 
The  morning  was  cold  and  wet,  and  it  is 
considered  that  he  became  chilled  in  walk^ 
ing  from  Oakley  Park  to  the  Brora  field 
station.  On  reaching  tbe  board-room  at 
the  Shrewsbury  station  be  was  found  so 
unwell,  that  it  was  suggested  he  should 
immediately  retire  to  the  residence  of  J.  J. 
Peele,  esq,  town  clerk  of  Shrewsbury, 
where  medical  assistance  was  obtained ; 
but,  notwithstanding  the  most  skilful 
means  were  used,  he  grAdually  lingered 
with  exemplary  patience  and  Christian 
hope  until  Saturday,  January  90th,  when 
exhausted  nature  quietly  sunk  in  death. 

The  remains  of  Mr.  Clive  having  been 
removed  from  Shrewsbury  to  Oakley  Park, 
were  interred  on  the  2dth  at  Bromfield^  in 
a  vault  in  the  churchyard,  constructed 
some  years  ago  under  his  own  direction,* 
Agreeably  to  tbe  request  of  the  deceased, 

*  His  parents  repose  within  the  church, 
in  a  vault  which  was  closed  at  the  inter- 
ment of  his  father  in  183H,

ney that  in  the  very  next  year  it  moved  to 
a  larger  chapel  built  in  Mare*street,  and 
that  Mr.  Cox's  stipend  as  minister  was 
400/. 

On  bis  settlement  in  the  Qeighbourbood 
of  the  metropolia,  Mr,  Cox  took  an  active 
part  in  all  tbe  public  societies  and  other 
buoineea  connected  with  bii  communion. 
He  wo 8  one  of  those  who  aaaisted  in  com- 
mencing The  Baptist  Magazine  (a  publi- 
cation still  continued)  in  tbe  year  180!>, 
advatictng  a  portion  of  tbc  requiflite  capital. 
He  wrote  an  essay  in  tbe  first  uiunber, 
and  became  a  frequent  contributor.  For 
three  years,  tbe  uiual  term  of  service,  he 
waa  Secretary  to  the  General  Body  of 
Disscniiug  Ministers  of  tbc  Three  Deno- 
minations residing  in  and  near  Loudon 
and  Westminster, 

^*  Two  thing )i  eapccially  adapted  him  for 
|>iibUc  business  :  bis  habitual  good  temper, 
and  bis  talent  as  a  public  speaker,  being 
ready,  fluent,  discreet,  and  attractive. 
His  ability  in  this  way,  combined  witb  bis 


kind  willingness  to  assist  every  good  un- 
dertaking, caused  him  to  be  sought  for  by 
tbe  projectors  of  religious  enterpriaei  and 
the  manogcra  of  charitable  institntionj, 
out  of  his  own  circle  as  well  as  in  it.  Hli 
appearance  was  preposaesiiog,  and  hia 
manners  were  always  gentlemanly  and 
bland.  In  tbe  earlier  part  of  life  be  wot 
tall,  tbin,  and  graceful  i  but  as  he  in- 
creased in  years  his  form  became  portly, 
the  remains  of  his  dark  curly  hair  became 
perfectly  whitCi  and  bis  whole  aspect  wai 
that  of  afi ne  old  man/^  (Baptist  Magazine.) 

Mr,  Cox  was  one  of  tbe  projectors  ond 
founders  of  the  London  Univenity,  tbe 
scbeme  of  which  originated  with  a  few  Dis- 
senting ministers.  They  were  introdoced 
by  Mr.  Brougham  (before  he  was  Lord 
Chancellor)  to  some  of  bis  political  friends, 
by  whose  aid  tbe  project  was  accomplished, 
but  it  was  determined  that  no  minister  of 
religion  should  be  placed  on  the  CounclL 
Mr.  Cox  became  Librarian,  but  did  not 
hold  tbe  office  long.  When  Lord  Broogham 
was  made  Rector  of  the  University  of 
Glasgow  be  procureil  for  Mr.  Cox  the 
degree  of  LL.D.  That  of  D,D.  was  sub- 
sequently conferred  upon  him  in  AmertcS;, 
when  he  visited  the  university  of  Water- 
vilte. 

Dr,  Cox's  earliest  publication  wns  An 
Essay  on  the  Excellence  of  Christian 
Knowledge,  published  in  1806;  the  next, 
A  Sermon  on  Apo^tucy,  1812,  which  had 
been  preached  before  **  tbe  monthly  meet- 
ing of  ministers."  In  1815  be  produced

including  an  Essay  on  what  Christian itj 
baa  done  for  Women ;  two  vols.  8vo. 
This  work  bos  recently  been  reprinted.  In 
1894  be  published  a  Vindication  of  tba 
sentiments  and  practice  of  tbe  Baptists, 
against  attacks  which  bad  been  made  upon 
them  by  doctors  Dwigbt,  Ewing,  and 
Wardlaw,  In  1836  appeared  a  Narrative 
of  tbc  Journey  which  be  bad  made  in  tbe 
previous  year  in  America,  in  conjunction 
with  Dr.  Hoby,  at  the  request  of  tbe  Bap- 
tist Uoioif.  Many  other  pieces,  of  minor 
importance,  appeared  from  his  pen;  but 
bifi  principal  work  was  the  History  of  the 
first  fifty  years  of  the  Baptist  Missionary 
Society,  which  he  produced  in  1842,  tbe 
year  in  which  the  jubilee  of  tbat  instita- 
tion  was  celebrated.

Bee,  27.  At  Bath,  in  hia  H5th  year, 
the  Rev.  William  Jay^  the  eminent  Dis- 
•entitig  Minbter. 

Mr.  Jay  wai  bom  at  Tiahury,  in  Wilt- 
shire, on  (he  3lh  May,  17i>d.  His  [>arentJ9 
were  pcrtoos  in  humhlfi  circumstances,  and 
he  himaelf,  in  his  younger  days,  laboured 
as  a  mason's  hoy.  Having  attracted  the 
notice  of  the  Rev.  Mr,  Winter,  a  Presby- 
terian minister  iii  his  village,  be  wag  iotro- 
duced  to  the  core  and  tuition  of  the  Rev, 
CamBlius  Winter,  of  Morlbo rough,  a  Dw- 
senting  miniBter,  who  wnn  much  en^nged 
in  preporinif  younjif  men  for  the  pulpit, 
and  whose  Life,  written  by  Mr.  Jay,  baa 
lijid  a  lar^  circnUtion.  A  mere  youth 
when  he  began  to  preach,  not  having  at- 
tained hia  sixteenth  year,  hIa  first  public 
attempt  at  n  sermon  was  mside  in  the  village 
of  Abtington  in  Wiltshire,  He  preached 
m  Surrey  Chapel  when  only  aiitecn;  and 
Uiere  is  no  doubt  that  Rowland  Hill  die- 
certied  aomethiog  extraordinary  in  the  tad 
whom  he  permitted  to  occupy  such  a  post. 
He  has  stated  in  one  of  hii  publtcatlona 
that  before  he  wai  of  age  be  had  delivered 
nearly  one  tbonsand  aermona.  At  first  he 
preached  atvafioQi  small  places  in  theaame 
part  of  Wiltshire,  aud  for  nearly  a  twelve- 
month be  officiated  aa  the  minister  of  Lady 
Maxwell's  Chape!,  at  the  Hotwclls,  Clifton. 
On  the  31st  Jan,  UiJl,  he  was  i^cttled  as 
the  minister  of  Argryle  Chapel^  in  Hath, 
having  previously  for  many  moniha  preached 
there, 

Mr.  Jay^B  regular  ministry  yvn$  confined 
to  Bath,  and  was  interrnpted  only  by  an- 
nual viaiti  to  London  and  to  the  coaat. 
By  hifl  writings,  however,  he  was  so  exten- 
sively known,  that  few  persons  of  any  de- 
nomination omitted  an  opportunity  of  hear- 
ing liim.  He  continued  to  be  the  minister 
of  Argyle  Chapel  until  January,  1853, 
during  the  remarkable  period  of  sixty-two 
years.  In  Jan,  1841,  when  Mr.  Jay  had 
completed  the  tiftieth  year  of  bis  minijjtry, 
the  tubilce  was  celebrated  by  religious  ser- 
he  chapel,  and  by  a  social  meet- 
was  held  in  the  Assembly  Rooms 


on  Tuesday,  the  2nd  Feb.  1641,  On  that 
oocasion  8^0  pcraons  breakfasted  together, 
and  a  testimonial  of  respect  was  presented 
to  Mr.  Jay  :  it  consisted  of  a  salver  with 
an  appropriate  inicriptloUt  and  a  purse 
which  contained  G50/, 

The  circumstances  connected  with  his 
resignation  of  the  pastoral  duties  at  Argyle 
Chapel  have  been  the  subject  of  much  dts- 
cuiislon,  and  occasioned  n  disunion  among 
his  people,  which  resulted  in  the  secession 
of  a  large  number,  who  now  assemhte  for 
worship  in  the  Assembly  Rooms.  There 
is  no  doubt  that  this  embittered  his  latter 
dayg,  and  be  has  been  more  than  once,  we 
understand,  heard  to  express  bis  belief 
that  thi^  wound  thus  made  would  never  be 
healed.  During  the  last  year  be  has  occa- 
aionnlly  preached  at  Bradford  (in  which 
town  he  baa,  since  his  second  marriage, 
frequently  resided),  at  Bratton,  and  other 
small  places  in  the  neighbourhood ;  and, 
not  very  long  since,  he  preached  at  the 
chapel  near  the  residence  of  the  Earl  of 
Dude. 

In  a  desoription  of  Mr.  Jay's  manner 
of  preaching  written  in  1«19,  we  6nd  the 
following  remarks:  *'Hii  eloquence  is 
aotnetime^  highly  animated, but  more  com- 
monly tender  and  pathetic.  Much,  no 
doubt,  of  the  impressicm  he  makes  is  ovring 
to  his  vocal  powers,  and  his  full  manage- 
ment of  their  induenccs.  His  friends  know 
what  emotion  he  has  frequently  excited  by 
a  single  sentence.  There  is,  however,  no 
art  or  affectation  in  his  manner.  It  is 
nature  speaking :  it  la  simply  a  naturol 
feeling,  and  a  serious  anxiety  to  produce  a 
useful  effect;  and  Mr.  Sheridan  once  said^ 
when  he  heard  him.  This  is  the  moat  per- 
fectly natural  orator  I  ever  met  with. 

**  His  favourite^  though  by  no  means 
invariable,  method  of  preaching  is  textual : 
and  so  attentive  is  he  to  perspicuity  and 
order,  that  few  discoursea  are  so  easily 
understood,  and  so  generally  recollected. 
He  is  accustomed  only  to  write  the  out- 
lines of  his  sermons,  and  to  leave,  after 
much  meditation,  the  tilling  up  to  the  ex- 
tempore energy  of  the  raomeut  of  delivery, 
Hia  acquaintance  with  the  Sacred  Volume 
is  great,  and  enables  him  to  bring  forward 
passages  which  are  seldom  noticed  by 
many  others  \  yet  not  in  the  way  of  a 
fanciful  mode  of  aUegory,  hut  mther  as 
supplying  more,  and  better,  practical  and 
appropriate  remarks.  He  frequently  pro- 
duces great  effect  by  a  judicious  use  of 
anecdotes;  though,  in  his  anxiety  to  be 
simple  and  familiar,  and  to  be  understood 
and  felt  by  the  common  people,  he  per- 
haps occasionally  descends  too  much  from 
a  very  refined  taste.''  (European  Maga- 
2ine,  Jan.  1819.) 

Ac  the  same  period  his  works  consisted

of  eigbt  volumesr  most  of  which  bad  passed 
through  aeveral  large  editions,  and  had 
been  republished  ia  America.  They  con- 
Msted  almost  wholly  of  sermons,  together 
-with  an  Essay  on  Marriage,  and  Memoirs 
of  the  Rev,  Cornelius  Winter  and  the  Rcr. 
John  Clark. 

His  last  literary  work  was  a  Yolame  of 
JLectores  on  Female  Scriptural  CharactcrSf 
originally  delitered  more  than  forty- eight 
years  ago,  which  has  been  published  since 
bis  death,  inscribed  to  the  Dowager  Conn- 
leai  of  Ducie,  in  a  dedication  dated  in  the 
very  month  of  his  death. 

It  ia  stated  that  Mr.  Jay  had  for  many 

J'eara  in  preparation  an  account  of  his  own 
ife  and  times,  and  that  it  is  branght  down 
to  a  rery  recent  period. 

Mr.  Jay  married,  in  the  same  year  that 
lie  fettled  in  Bath«  Anne,  daughtirr  of  the 
RtT,  Edward  Davies,  Rector  of  Bath 
Easton,  and  of  Coy  church  in  Wales  :  and 
by  that  lady  he  had  three  sons  and  three 
daughters.  Mrs*  Jay  died  a  few  years  ago, 
and  he  afterwards  married  Miss  Head,  of 
Bradford,  who  survives  him. 

His  body  was  consigned  to  the  family 
vault,  in  the  burial-ground  in  Snow-hiUr 
belonging  to  Argyle  Chapel,  on  Tuesday 
tlve  3rd  Jan.  The  mourners  were,  Mr,

Dee,  1 5.  At  Hanover,  in  his  7 8th year, 
Dr.  George  Fricdrich  Grotefcnd,  the  phi* 
lologist  and  antiquary. 

He  was  bom  at  MundeUi  on  the  9th 
June,  1775,  and  received  his  early  educa- 
tion in  the  school  of  his  native  town  and 
in  the  educational  estAblishment  at  Ilfcld. 
In  1795  be  entered  the  University  of  Got- 
tingen,  where  he  was  brought  into  close 
connciion  with  Heyne,  Tychsen,  Heeren, 
and  other  eminent  scholars.  By  the  in* 
ftuencc  of  the  former,  exerted  on  his  be- 
half,  he  became  one  of  the  teachers  of 
the  Gymnaainm  in  1797*  After  this  he 
made  hiinself  known  by  a  little  work  en- 
tilled,  "  De  Fasigraphia,  five  Script  ura 
Uoiversali/''  pablished  at  GoUingen  in 
1799.  In  1803  be  was  advaneed  Co  the 
ofl!cG  of  protector  of  the  Gymnasium,  and 
three  years  afterwards,  In  1806,  to  that  of 
CO- rector  of  the  same  establish mcnt ;  in 
lyl^  be  was  promoted  to  the  office  of  pro- 
fessor of  classical  literature  in  the  Lyceum 
of  Frankfortoii-tho-Main  ;  from  whence^ 
in  18'21t  he  was  summoned  to  take  the 
directorship  of  the  Lyceum  at  Hanover, 
which  oi&cc  he  held  until  IS\9,  Besides 
many  learned  and  profound  essays  or  trea- 
tises, published  in  the  Allgemeine  Eney- 
klopildie  and  in  other  journals  devoted  to 
litaratiire,  a  ^ery  long  catalogu  e  of  hit 
literary  works  i*  enumerated  in  the  bio- 
f^raphy  given  of  him  m  the  Uannoversche 
Zeitung.  He  was,  however,  pre-eminent 
in  regard  to  his  literary  renown,  on  ac- 
count of  the  fortunate  results  that  attended 
his  efforts,  commenced  in  1809,  in  the  de- 
ciphering of  the  Persepolitan  cuneiform 
inseriptions,  and  which  have  been  further 
extended  by  subsequent  investigators  in 
the  same  department  of  archoeological  lite- 
rary research,  as  Lassen,  Bourtiowf,  Botta, 
Hincks,  Rawlinsonj  Layard,  and  others. 
Indeed,  Dr.  Grotefend  appears  to  have 
been  the  first  to  furnish  the  key  to  tlie 
elucidation  of  these  very  remarkable  in- 
scriptions ;  and  in  that  respect  he  may  be 
said  to  bear  the  same  relation  to  this  sub- 
ject that  our  own  countryman,  Dr.  Thomai 
Young,  hears  tn  another  hut  not  less  in- 
teresting kindred  subject,  namely,  the  de- 
ciphering of  the  Egyptian  hieroglyphic 
writings,  aided,  however,  as  he  was  by  th« 
Rosetta  Stone,  and  in  which  he  has  been 
so  successfully  followed  by  ChaiiipoHion 
and  others.  In  what  estimation  his  la- 
bours in  the  cause  of  literature  were  held, 
the  numerous  diplomat  be  received  from 
many  learned  societies  in  Germany  and 
other  countries  will  plainly  testify.  In 
1847  the  King  of  Prussia  bestowed  upon 
him  the  honourable  distinction  of  the  third 
class  of  the  order  of  the  Red  Eagle  of

Mr*  Arundole  was  born  in  London,  on 
the  9th  Auguit,  1807*  He  served  his 
articles  for  seven  years  with  the  elder 
Pugin  I  and,  on  the  expiration  of  that 
time,  occompantetl  Mr.  Pugin  in  hia  tour

out  to  Mr,  Hny,  who  was  investigating 
the  autiquitiea  of  Egypt ;  and  made  draw- 
tngfl  of  idL  the  principal  remains  la  that 
country.  This*  gave  th<*  tone  to  his  future 
life*  lie  afterwards  joined  Mr*  L'ather- 
wood  and  Mr,  Bouoml,  witli  whom,  in 
1833,  he  visited  the  Holy  Land,  and  made 
a  Very  large  nnmber  of  drawinfs  and 
sketches*  He  was  one  of  the  very  few 
Christians  who  have  obtained  admission 
into  tiie  Mosque  of  Omar,  built  on  the 
lite  of  the  Temple  of  Solomon  ;  and  of 
this  he  made  eareful  drawings.  Altogether 
he  was  nine  years  in  the  East.  When  in 
Upper  Egypt  he  inhabited  one  of  the  ex- 
cavated tombs,  wherCf  probably^  the  seeds 
of  those  maladbd  were  Laid  which  after- 
wards terminated  his  life.  After  return-

Dm.  ...  At  his  residence,  Place  de  la 
Chancellerie,  Brussells,  J.  Van  Eycken, 
painter. 

His  works  were  chiefly  religious  subjects, 
or  epiaodea  of  life  treated  allegorically. 
Her  Majeaty  is  the  possessor  of  tus  picture 
called  **  Abundance,^'  representing  a  lovely 
mother  with  her  twin  infants.  It  i&  paioted 
in  the  most  luscious  colour  of  the  modern 
Belgian  school.  He  eichibited  at  the  Royal 
Academy  four  years  ago  three  5nG  pictures, 
which  were  not  duly  estimated  by  our 
amateurar  and  were  retnrncd  to  Brussells. 
Her  Majeaty  and  H.R.H.  Prince  Albert, 
however,  had  a  finer  appreciation  of  hii 
high  artistic  attainments,  and  the  royal 
collection  boasts  the  possession  of  three  of 
hia  pictures.  Before  his  death  he  gave 
permission  to  engrave  the  picture  of 
*' Abundance/'  which  will}  undoubtedly, 
make  bis  talent  appreciated,  although  too 
late  for  this  inestimable  artist  to  enjoy  thitt 
dintlnction  he  so  fully  merited. 

While  painting  a  large  composition  in 
the  transept  of  the  church  in  the  Hub 
Laute,  called  **  La  Chapelle,"  he  bad  the 
misfortune  to  fall  from  the  scaffolding. 
Although  not  much  injured,  it  had  a  bad 
effect  on  his  fragile  health,  oocaaioued  by 
the  poignant  grief  felt  at  the  premature 
death  of  hit  wife,  to  whom  he  was  so  ten- 
dei-ly  attached,  that  he  never  oeaaed  to 
mourn  her  up  to  tlie  period  of  hia  own 
decettf.

Obituary. — Mr,  Philip  KHtz. 


[March* 


on  t<;rais  of  familiAr  intercourse,  and  was 
one  Oif  the  first  to  encoartige  and  aisbt  the 
lute  TtiomiLft  Rick  man  in  hii  studicfl  of 
Gothic  architecture,  in  whlcli  he  aftcr- 
ivarda  obtalntid  ao  much  cdebrity.  Wlieti 
the  Architectural  and  Archieuiogicril  So- 
ciety WM  formed,  Mr.  Barber  gave  it  bb 
warm  and  cordial  aid.  He  waa  one  of 
ita  first  membera,  filled  the  office  of  vice- 
president  for  two  years^  and  wa«  aisiduous 
and  constaut  in  hia  ntteadnnce  until  pre- 
Tented  by  recent  infirmities. 

As  sn  artiit  Mr.  Barber  waa  an  tn^ 
thntiastic  lover  of  nature ;  be  never  wearied 
in  hb  attentive  defotion  to  catcb  her 
changeful  cxpreuBbnn,  whether  m  the 
varied  and  gorgeoaa  effects  of  aanriae,  the 
mysterioua  matUk  of  miit*  or  the  tpark- 
linjj  bnllinncy  of  sunlight  on  the  waterj. 
During  hii  motnentt  of  leisure  bia  pencil 
wai  ever  in  liii  hand,  atrivieg  to  embody 
and  make  patent  the  aensc  of  the  beattttful 
aa  preaeot  to  bia  mental  virion.  He  was 
a  regular  contributor  to  our  local  eihi- 
bUionSf  and^  occaaionally,  at  the  exhibition 
of  the  Royal  Academy  in  London.  Re- 
lieved during  his  latter  years  from  the 
Deceaaity  of  toil,  by  the  possession  of  ample 
private  uieanB,  his  enthusiasm  for  art  con- 
tinued to  the  last.  Above  a  year  ago  he 
auffercd  severely  from  an  attack  of  paraly- 
sis^  from  which  he  partially  recovered,  but 
which  left  its  cflTecti  on  his  Mtteranec.  His 
mind  and  right  hand,  howeveri  were  still 
healtby  and  aound  ;  and  it  will  give  some 
idea  of  the  character  of  the  man  to  state, 
that  under  these  circumatances  he  com- 
pleted two  pictures  which  were  exhibited 
in  Trafalgar- sc|uare»  London,  in  1849  : 
these  were,  •'  Evening  after  Rain,  a  lug- 
ngo  train  preparing  to  ahunt  ?"  and  '*The 
Diwn  of  Day.  a  foraging  party  returning." 

As  President  of  the  Liverpool  Academy 
he  won  the  respect  and  etteem  of  hu  bro- 
ther artiste,  soothing,  when  necessary,  the 
g»nuit  irritabiU  eatuntf  and  encouraging 
the  younger  members  in  their  aspirations 
after  distinction  and  success.  By  the 
Academy  the  loss  of  his  counsels  and  sup- 
port will  be  severely  felt,  particularly  at 
the  present  juncture,  when  they  seem 
likely  to  be  turned  adrift  without  a  local 
habitation  to  call  their  own.^ Li firpoet

Jan,  13.  At  Southampton,  aged  49, 
Mr.  Philip  Ktit^f,  professor  of  masic,  and

He  was  bom  at  Lymini^tonf  where  his 
father  estiibhshed  hii!  reputation  as  a 
mut<ici)tn  of  consid(*rable  emini'nce,  and 
brought  Mp  six  sons  to  bitt  profession, 
Philip,  the  eldest,  early  became  a  com^ioaer 
of  ball. room  music.  He  canie  to  reside  in 
J3 


SouiliAnipton  about  twenty-five  years  ago, 
and  showed  the  versatility  of  hb  talentfli 
by    composing,    beaidea    njuch    classical  1 
muaic,  a  variety  of  ballade,  of  which  tti#J 
wr>rds  were  freqaently  his  own,   and  OQttJ 
scries  of  naval  songs,  called  "  The  Song!  I 
of  the  Mid-Watch,"  the  Admiralty  did] 
him  the  honour  of  ordering  them  to  be  i 
added  to  Dibdin*s  in  a  special  edition  pub-  | 
lisbcd  for  the  navy.     Besides  his  musical  | 
works  be  was  the  author  of  '*  Tales  of  tl*e 
New  Forest,'*  which  he  was  well  quuhfied 
to  write,  from  his  intimate  aequaintauce 
with  the  scenery  of  the  Forest,  sod  the  : 
manners  of  its  people.      He  was  a  grettM  \ 
advocate  for  the  Hull  all  system,  and  in* 
trodoced   it    in    Southampton   and    other  ' 
places,  and  indeed  sought  to  cultivate  a 
musical  taste  among  the  young  generally. 
His  teotiires  on  music  were  exceedingly 
attractive  at  all  the  Literary  Instttutioni 
of  these  connties.    He  was  a  most  brilliant 
performer  on  the  pianoforte  and  viotia^ 
and  conducted  Prtganini's  concerts  when 
very  young.     He  has  for  many  years  held 
the  office  of  organist  at  All  Saints*  churcb|  ' 
and  there,  as  well  as  previously  at  other 
churches,  raised  and  taught  a  choir,  and 
perfected  the  vocal  service.     His  wife  and 
an  only  son  have  to  mourn  the  loss  of  an 
atTectionate  huabnnd  and  father — the  pro- 
fession of  one  of  its  most  meritorious  i 
accomplished  members,  and  the  Masonto  ] 
brethren  a  brother  whom  they  esteemed. 
He  always  gave  a  willing  assistance  to  the 
craftr  and  distinguished  himself  amongst 
them,  and  was  P.P.G.O.  of  Hampshire* 
One  of  his  Masonic  compositionst  *'  Faith,

Our  old  friend,  Mr.  GonnAfin  John* 
flON,  of  Norwich,  informs  us  that  few  din- 
coveries  have  been  recently  maih^  at 
Caistor  (the  Vcnta  loeuorem),  except  a 
few  Small  Brai»s  coins  of  a  tery  eommon 
type,  and  those  generally  in  a  very  cor* 
rodcd  state  j  but  that  a  boot  three  weeks 
since  a  bbourer  on  the  farm  picked  up  a 
itnarius  of  Augustus  (the  earliest  coin 
that  has  come  under  hit  notice  found 
there),  of  a  rather  rare  type : —

Mr  Goddard  Johnson  has  also  rectire 
from  the  same  place,  part  of  a  stone,  harin 
a  hole  through  it,  eowttertunk.  The 
stones  (of  which  be  has  had  seTeral) 
jenerally  rather  kidney-shaped,  weighid 
from  3  to  IG  ounces.  For  what  purpose  thef  | 
were  used  is  not  with  any  certainty  known 
bat  it  ia  conjectured  that  they  were  I 
mert.  From  the  shape  of  the  hole  ibey  1 
cannot  be  fastened  on  a  shaft,  but  possibly 
a  thong  was  paaaed  through  the  bote,  and 
then  fastened  round  tlic  wrist,  and  wh«i 
In  close  contact  with  an  enemy  were 
thrown  at  them,  immediately  recoTcredtj 
and  repeated.  Mr.  Johnson  doa 
recollect  their  being  noticed  in  any  archir- 
logical  work,  but  begs  us  lo  diroot  the  at- 
tention of  anti(]ttariess  to  the  tul^ect. 

Mm.  UiLBA^r, — I  have  long  had  in  my 
poiseision  an  ALa-YAmn,  stteh  as  that 
described  in  your  November  M^gasii 
It  ia  a  glHaa  tube,  blown  into  a  bulb  at  < 
end,  and  a  trnmpet-mouth  at  Che  Othel^ 
It  is  less  than  a  yard  in  length,  and  coo^l 
Uim  an  impifriai  pint.     If  ale  toert  «ol#1 
by  the  j/ardf  it  must  have  been  by  aid  of  si 
dtferent  imtrunieot;   since  this  is  vervj 
thin,  atid,  by  its  shajie,  eiposed  to  ever 
haaard.     I  have  always  considered  it  as  ft.1 
bacchanalian  puszle,  by  which  the  drinkvl 
lug  a  pint  of  ale  at  one  draught,  no  diflicull| 
labour  in  itself,  becomes,  from  the  abapei 
a  task  for  even  a  Dutch  Iterculef,

r>.  11.  H.  inquires  whether  the  dedica-J 
tion  of  the  Church,  which  formerly  exiatedl 
in  London,  was  to  Saint  Osith  or  Saint] 
Sithe.  The  many  pictures  which  formerljl 
existed  in  English  churches  of  S.  Sithai  ] 
were  of  a  different  saint  to  Saint  Osltha. 

S.  seudift  us  an  impression  from  a  seal- 
ring,  which  is  of  goldi  set  trlth  a  coroeUan,] 
on  which  the  following  coat  of  anna  i«] 
engraved :  on  a  pale,  between  two  palleta^i

and  ingeniously  contrived  coat ;  but  we  do  ' 
not  find  it  In  Glover's  Ordinary, 

A  Correspondeot  at  Dover  informs  ua 
that  the  old  mansion  in  that  town,  whidli 
was  engraved  in  the  Gentleman's  Magt

THE  promulgation  of  tlie  Edict  of 
Naiit42ti  by  Henry  tlic  Fourtb,  in  li598, 
WAS  QUO  of  tl]e  most  important  nets  m 
civil  and  religiou:^  biytory.  The  nee - 
forth  the  iWiScKuation  of  reason  ami  faith 
m  religion  wa(>  jusiifieil,  and  they  were 
permitted  to  go  forth  with  joy,  the 
littrbingera  of  iiior;d  and  intellecluul 
progroas.  But  a  policy  so  little  in 
jii  with  the  social  condition 

i>.  ^ould  not  fail  to  oxcite  the 

cljiiiiuiir  or'  all  the  men  of  cxti'eme 
party  view^.  The  old  Leaguera,  the 
CothoHcs  "k  gron  grains** — doubted 
Ibe  sincurity  of  iJenry*s  conversjion, 
ttnd  the  Protestants  were  hardly  less 
tuspicious^  Dijpletssis  Mornay  (jultted 
the  court*  Some  dayd  afler  tne  at- 
tempt made  upon  the  King*s  life  by 
Jean  Chatei^  Henry  received  Theodore 
Agrippa  d*Anbigne,  and  showed  him 
his  lip  pierced  by  the  dagger  of  the 
aasassuu  "  Sire,"  refdied  the  old  Hu- 
ienot,  "  hitherto  you  have  renounced 

For  our  God  hath  cruaUrd  the  tyrant,  our  God  hatli  mlsed  the  ahiTe, 
And  mocked  the  counncl  of  the  wise,  and  the  valour  of  the  brave. 
Tliea  glory  to  bis  liol^  Name,  from  whom  all  glories  ire ! 
And  glory  to  our  Sovereign  Lord^  King  Henry  ofNafarre. 

The  clergy  feared  from  the  efiict  the 
diminution  of  their  revenues — the  par- 
liament considered  it  to  be  an  infrac- 
tion of  their  rightj? — by  the  mass  of  the 
people  it  was  received  as  tlie  mark  of 
victory^  or  the  brand  of  shame,  accord - 
ing  to  the  parties  witlj  whuyh  tliey  were 
alHed.  Time  moderated  theae  views. 
The  King  won  over  the  chiefs  of  the 
Catholics^  and  controlled  those  of  the 
Ptotestanta;  and,  although  there  waa 


God  only  with  your  lips,  and  God  hath 
been  content  to  pierce  your  lips  alone; 
but  renounce  him  with  your  heart,  and 
in  your  heart  vou  will  bo  stricken." 
What  h  this  ecfict,  said  tlic  Leaguers, 
but  a  law  which  grants  a  legal  exisit- 
ence  to  heretics,  to  men  excommunt- 
cateil,  given  over  to  the  civil  power  in 
this  world,  and  to  eternal  punishments 
ill  Iho  future?  The  Huguenots  re- 
torted by  ap^ieab  a»ainst  an  apostacj 
which  maintamed  a  (also  religion.  Thoy 
recalled  tlie  fteriod  of  the  King's  earlier 
career;  they  evoked  the  memory  of 
llie  days  of  the  eicge  of  Rochelle,  the 
disaster  of  Moncontouri  the  victoriea 
of  Gjutras  and  of  Tvry,  when  they 
rushed  to  the  battle  where  they  saw 
the  wliite  plume  shine,  singing,  as  with 
one  voice,  the  hymns  of  Marot,  or  re- 
turned Irom  victory  while  tbo  loud 
note  of  thanksgiving  pealed  forth  fVom 
amid  their  bannered  no9ts» — 


occasional  discontent,  peace  was  [>re* 
served  during  the  remainder  of  his 
reign.  The  death  of  Henrv  the  Fourth 
renewed  the  hopes  and  the  hatred  of 
both  parties.  The  Protestants,  hardljr 
satisfied  with  the  confirmation  of  the 
edict  by  Mary  de*  Medici,  obtained  a 
permission  to  convoke  their  assembly 
general  at  Chatellerault.  Dissension 
arose  among  their  chiefs;  the  instdioua 
poHcy  of  the  Duke  de  Bouillon  was 


defeated,  ftnd  Duplessis  Mornny  drew 
up  the  Act  of  K«C(»n(!iliJitiont  wbieh 
was  signed  by  all  the  heads  of  the  party 
at  Saumur*  This  act  cslablbheil  reully 
a  representative  republic  in  the  very 
lieart  of  an  absolute  kingdom.  Siicli 
a  power  necessarily  excitetl  fear;  for 
at  the  beginning  of  the  seventeenth 
century  the  Protestants  possessed  no 
less  than  816  churches,  divided  into  16 

{larishes,  and  controlled  by  6*2  col- 
oqueSi  which  met  quarterly  to  regnlute 
their  afiairs.  It  was  not  long  before 
each  party  prepared  for  war,  and,  when 
power  passed  from  the  hands  of  Con- 
cini  into  those  of  iVlbert  de  Luynes, 
the  government  resolved  to  destroy  the 
formidable  political  organisation  which 
had  enabled  the  Protestants  to  brave 
the  royal  authority,  or  to  appear  a? 
an  independent  power  in  the  state. 

The  pulpit  resounded  with  discourses 
against  the  Calvinists.  At  Lvons^ 
Moulins,  Dijon  J  and  Bruges,  an  infu- 
riated  niuUitude  broke  into  their  ceme- 
teries, violated  the  sanctity  of  their

their  synods,  but  he  demolished  their 
fortiiie<l  cities  of  refuge,  and  conceded 
the  privileges  they  retained,  not  as  in 
former  times — by  a  treaty  as  between 
two  powers — but  simply  as  an  ad  of 
g^racc  from  the  sovereign. 

This  act  was  the  inauguration  of  a 
new  era.      Deprived   of  all  political 
influence,  excluded  by  degrees  frotn 
almost  all  offices  of  the  state,  the  Pro- 
testants devoted  themselves  to  agri- 
culture and  commerce.    They  covered 
the  philnsof  Bcfini  and  the  West  with 
rich  harvests.    The  vineyards  of  Berri 
restored  prospcritjr   to   that  district; 
fertile  pastures  enriched  the  mountaia  ^ 
gorges  of  the  Cevennes.     The  hour- 
gcoFsie  of  the  cities  evinced  a  similar 
industry.     They  revived  old  manufac- 
tures— they  perfected  new.  In  Guienno 
tljCY  had  the  almost  entire  command  | 
of  the  wine-trade;  in  the  two  province* 
of  Brouage  and  Oleron  twelve  fnmiliei  j 
possessed  the  monopoly  of  the  snle  of 
wine  and  salt,  which  amountetl  yearly  , 
to    from   twelve    to    fifteen   hundred  ( 
thousand  livres.   Caen  became  the  mart  j 
of  the  cloth  manufacturers  of  Vire,  Pa- 
lais e,  and  Argcntau.    The  commercial 
iutcicourfie  between  France  and  Ger- 
many fell  exclusively  into  the  hands  of  .| 
the  lieformers.     Even  Baville  in  1B69 
bore  testimony  to  the  commercial  ac- 
tivity of  the  merchants  of  Nismes,  and 
tbci  r  industrial  superiority.  To  the  Pro*  ] 
test  ants  France  owed  the  rapid  advance 
of  niaritinic  commerce,  and  the  pros- 
perity of  the  ports  of  Bordeaux,  lio- 
chcllci  and  Normandy.  They  competed  i 
in  the  manufacture  of  woollen  cloth  I 
with  the  merchants  of  England  andj 
Holland.     Kheims,  Hhetel^  Sezannei ' 
and  Abbeville  were  celebrated  for  their 
factories.     Gold  and  silver  lace^  and 
lace  of  silk  and  thread,  occupied  the  j 
inhabitants  of  Montmorency  and  Vil»  j 
licrs  le  Bel.     Tlie  hats  of  Caudebeo] 
found  eittensive  sale  among  the  sallantfl  j

the  revocation   of    the  eciict,    Lyons 
imported  fiOOO  bales  of  silk,  of  which 
3000  were  there  usetl,  1,500  at  Tours, 
700  at  Paris,  and  the  remainder  in 
smaller  towns.    A  question  has  been 
riused  aa  to  the  cause  of  this  superiority 
of  the  Protestant  workmen  over  those 
of  the  Catholics ;  we  think  it  may  be  at- 
*  tributcd  partly  to  their  exclusion  from 
the  guilds  of  arts  and  trades,  which  ieft 
them  free  to  act  unfettered  by  tradi- 
tionary laws  and  usages,  which  regu- 
lated the  hours  of  labour,  the  number 
of  workmen,  the  quality  of  the  raw 
material,    and    its    fabrication.     Per- 
mitted to  unite,  and  aware  that  unity 
is  strength,  they  combined  capital  and 
labour;   they  established  large  manu- 
factories ;  fixed  a  scale  of  wages  having 
due  relation  to  prices ;  and  directed  at- 
tention to  new  processes  and  inventions. 
It  baa  been  calculated  also,  that,  by 
their  avoidance  of  religious  festivals, 
and  many  conventional  claims  estab- 
lished by  the  customs  of  the  trades,  the 
Protestant  worked  3 1 0,  and  the  CathoKc 
only  260  days*    Other  moral  and  social 
causes  tended  also  to  a  more  active  de- 
velopment of  their  commercial  pursuits. 
To  enlarge  the  sphere  of  intellectual 
action,  to  free  it  from  the  traditions  of 
the  past)  is  the  necessary  tendency  of 
the  reformed  religion.     Appealing  to 
reason  rather  than  to  imagination,  it 
elevates    individual     character,    and, 
deprived  of  the  forms  of  an  impres- 
sive ritual,  it   seeks   strength  in  the 
cultivation  of  loftier   and  purer  spi- 
ritual conceptions  of  the  objects  of 
faith.     Impresse<-1   with   the  value  of 
education    in   its    highest    sense,   the 
Calvinists  founded  Uie  celebrated  uni- 
versities of  tsaumur,  Montauban,  Niraes, 
and  Sedan.     There  the  genius  of  their 
greatest  preachers  mm  trained,  and 


thei*e  were  developed  those  powers  of 
mind  which  dignified  Henri  Basnage, 
the  learned  commentator  of  the  Cou- 
t  urn  ede  Nor  man  die;  Valentin  Conrart, 
still  recalled   as   the  founder   of  the 
Academy  of  France ;  Pierre  du  Moulin, 
Daille,  Drelincourt,  Mestrezat,  AUix, 
and  Claude,  who  gave  renown  to  the 
church  of  Charenton.    To  the  nobility 
the  career  of  arms  was  still  open,  and 
it  wiis   to  the   Huguenot  aristocracy 
Prance  owetl  some  of  those  great  vic- 
tories she  yet  recalb  with  pride.     The 
Comte    de    Gassion,    the    Marechals 
Guebriant,  Hantzau,   Chatillon,    Tu- 
renne,  Schomberg,  and  the  brave  Du- 
((uesne,  all  belonged  to  the  reformed 
religion.     But  the  Huguenot  nobility 
gradually  conformed  to  the  Catholic 
Church.    To  this  they  were  induced  by 
many  causes.   The  government  was  re- 
solute upon  excluding  them,  so  far  as 
it  was  possible,  from  all  state  rewards. 
They  were  disgusted  with  the  control 
assumed  by  the  Assemblies,  and  hu- 
miliated, as  the  Baron  des  Adretz  said, 
to  find  the  diseurs  instituted  as  judges 
over  the  faiseurs.     They  would  have 
maintained  tbeir  faith  against  the  se- 
cular arm,  but  they  fell  beneath  the 
intellectual  power  of  Bossuet  and  Ar* 
nauld.     Jurieu,  one  of  their  chief  mi- 
nisters, had  admitted  the  salvability  of 
memlicrs   of  both   churches.     Those, 
therefore,  who  thought  with  Henry  the 
Fourth  J  **  que  les  honneurs  ct  les  dig- 
nitos  valaient  bien  tme  messe,**  were 
the  more  readily  converted;  while  those 
who  recoiled  from  the  consequences  of 
the   Roman  Catholic  doctrine  of  the 
loss  of  eternal  life  to  them  who  repu* 
diatc  her  creed,  resolved  to  act  upon 
the  principle  of  taking  "le   parti   le 
pluf  sur,"  and  thus  reconcile  their  tem- 
poral and  eternal  intei^ests.     The  de- 
fection  of  the  chiefs  freed  their  fbl* 
lowers  from  the  consequences  of  their 
political  intrigues.     Satisfied  with  the 
concessions   tliey    had    obtained,   and 
fully  occupied  with  commerce,  the  Pro* 
test  ants  stood  aloof  from  the  factions 
formed  against  Richelieu  and  MazariUi 
Their  loyalty  became  proverbial.  \VTjen

[for  their  wealth.     But  this  feeling  had 
[remained  i\s  an  inert  force  except  for 
I  lis  accordance  with  the  desire*!  of  the 
iKing.    Louis  had  upon  his  assumption 
Fof    power    adopted    the    traditionary 
Ipoliey  of  Itichc'licu.     He  resolved  to 
l-ipcclude   the   CalviniriLs  from   idl    the

ho  displayed  the  most  peri'ect  know- 
ledge of  details  and  the  highest  talent 
in  their  direclion.     This  was  partieu-

Dg  the  increasing  mijjery  of  the  people, 
1  de«pite  of  the  lotiring  aapeot  of 
political  horiJBoo,  he  eo  constuntly 


led  the  King.  This  selfish  ambition 
marked  his  career.  His  mind  was 
harsh  and  resolute,  restrained  by  no 
moral  influence,  ark  now  lodging  no  law 
but  the  King^s  wilt,  shrinking  from 
no  injustice;  nor  Irom  cruelty,  nor 
from  crime,  if  requisite  for  bis  ends. 
To  aei-ve  hi.H  ambition,  he  had  been 
content  to  make  the  only  sacrifice  of 
his  life — the  too  open  indulgence  of 
his  debaucheries.  To  forward  this  he 
stimulated  at  once  the  vices  and  the 
weakness  of  Louis,  and,  at  the  period 
when  the  King  had  determined  on  the 
conversion  of  the  Huguenots,  his  name 
passed  with  horror  from  lip  to  lip  as 
the  cause  of  the  inhuman  devastation 
of  the  Palatinate.

he  permitted  the  King's  *Miai«ons,

tespon,  of  whom  he  was  the  friend,  or 
by  what  moral  principles  he  reconciled 
his  duties  as  the  King*s  confessor  with 
the  manners  of  the  court.  It  was  not 
that  he  was  insensible  to  virtue,  but 
indifferent  to  vice,  when  worldly  in- 
terests prevailed.  For  these  he  re* 
strained  the  exercise  of  excellent 
qualities,  and  pandertnl  tu  the  worst 
inclinations  of  the  King.  Had  Loui« 
l>een  inclined  to  toleration,  he  had 
been  tolerant;  and,  if  he  allowed  the 
persecution  of  the  Huguenots,  it  was 
not  from  conviction  as  a  duty,  or 
fervour  of  religious  zeal,  but  the  cal- 
culating spirit  of  the  Jesuit,  and  the 
hive  of  ease  of  age. 

The  LHiurt  of  Louis  the  Fourteenth 
displayed  tliat  combination  of  the  in* 
tellectual  and  the  i^ocial  cjualities  ao 
remarkable  in  the  character  of  the 
French  nation,  and  that  adulation  of 
present  power  and  of  prevoiling  opinion 
which  in  individuals  is  uieanness,  ki 
nations  a  vice.  None  dared  oppose 
the  will  of  the  king.  The  nobility 
were  divided  into  castes,  alike  in  one 
respect — their  struggle  to  obtain  his 
favours,  Gallantry  was  their  recrea- 
tion, war  their  pursuit,  and  they  excited 
the  ambition  of  Louis  to  advance  their 
own.  ITie  clergy,  as  a  class,  were  ele- 
vated by  such  men  as  Bossuet^  MassLUon, 
Flecbier,  and  Bourdaloue ;  but,  with

seiilf  and  as  ntueh  prudence  as  zeal, 
in  this  display.  Louis  was  to  be 
kept  as  he  had  been  woo,  llcr  discre- 
tion was  roused,  he  had  reproached 
her  with  having  been  aCalviaist,  Ku-

her  family.  On  the  KHh  Miiy,  lt>81, 
having  procured  lier  brother  a  ^^  jjot 
de  viii,'*  of  11«,W0  francii,  she  rccom- 
mettded  him  to  ky  it  out  with  discre- 
tion, ludding,  the  kiida  in  Poitou  are 
now  selling  for  almost  nothing,  the  dis- 
tress of  the  Huguenots  will  force  the 
sale  of  more;  you  can,  at  little  cost, 
establish  yourself  magnificently  in 
Poitou.  She  was  right.  Jealous  of  her 
influencet  resolved  to  maintain  his  own, 
considering  religion  as  a  mere  matter 
of  civil  polity,  curbin«j  his  will  to  the 
superiority  of  the  King  s  alone,  Louvois 
resolved  to  gratity  his  masters  wish, 
and  to  destroy  the  Calvinist  party. 
Accordingly,  *^11  y  meladu  militaire/* 
he  wrote  to  Jklarilluc,  intendant  of 
Poitou*  whom  be  judged  to  be  the  fit 
agent  for  his  plans,  starch  18tb,  JGbl, 
to  authorise  the  persecution  known  ils 
that  of  the  "dragonnades ."  The  de- 
tails can  be  but  brretly  given.  By 
these  instructions,  the  only  roynl  ex- 
ceptions to  the  .-jo Idlers*  lust  nnd  power, 
were  rape  and  munier.  They  were 
billeted  exclusively  on  the  Cjilvinista; 
neither  rank  nor  poverty  wns  ex- 
cepted. With  furious  cries  they  en- 
tered the  house,  they  demanded 
money;  if  it  were  denied,  the  inhubit- 
ants  were  subjected  to  every  kind  of 
outrage,  even  to  torture,  to  compel 
their  conversion.  Their  feet  nad  hand* 
were  slowly  burntj  their  limbs  broken

den to  lie  there  and  rot.  The  rtuccei?M 
of  this  first  mission  snrpast^ei!  even  the 
hopes  of  Louvois.  For  a  while  he  was

and  the  Dominicans,  Minds  educated 
beneath  the  stern  monds  of  Calvinism, 
were  condemned  to  listen  to  the  con- 
versation, the  oathit,  and  blaspbcnious 
jests  of  drunken  soldiers.  They  were 
forced  to  labour ;  their  bodies  were  sub- 
jected to  cruel  pains  from  suspension 
by  ropes,  oftimea  the  tlesh  was  pinched, 
their  heads  thrust  into  heated  ovens ; 
and  finally  thuH  exhuustetl,  by  a  retine- 
ment  of  cruelty,  the  curse  of  Ladurlad 
was  fulfilled  in  its  full  bitterness  on 
them^ —

for  all  rest  was  denied  them  by  relays 
of  wretchcH  who  compelled  them  to 
stand,  or  who  roused  them  by  brutal 
violence,  If  nature  for  u  moment  yielded 
to  repose*  Women  bred  up  with  I  he 
tenderest  etire  were  subjected  io  the 
most  odious  officestand  the  mostshmne- 
le.-s  outrages.  The  result  may  be  sur- 
mised. Conversions  rapidly  increased ; 
and  the  returns  were  now  not  by  hun- 
dreds, but  by  cities,  by  districts,  and 
by  provinces.  Lonia  ordered  public 
rejoicings,  the  church  ordained  thanks- 
givings, the  court  wus  fervent  In  adu- 
lation. Some  attribute*!  these  collec- 
tive conversions  to  Divine  grace,— 
"  Dieu  se  sert  de  toutes  voles  pour 
ramener  a  lui  le^  heretiques,"  wrote 
jViadame  de  Malntenon ;  and  Bourda- 
loue  and  Fenclon  were  sent  into  the 
provinces  to  take  spiritual  possession 
of  their  folds.  The  dragoons,  said 
Madame  de  Sevigne,  have  been  hitherto 
excellent  missicmaries ;  the  preachers 
now  sent  will  perfect  their  work.  The 
court  was  France  to  Louis,  and  the 
court  thought  Protesbintism  was  ex- 
tinct. On  the  22nd  October,  ltJ85, 
he  signed,  at  Fontainebleau,  the  Revo- 
cation of  the  Kilit^t  of  Nantes.  Tho 
resulU  of  that  measure  will  be  the

TIIK  POSITIVE  PHILOSOPHY  OP  AUGUSTE  COMTE. 

The  Ponitif 0  Philofophf  of  Augutte  Comt«,  freeljr  trantUted  and  condemed  bj  Harriet 
Mirtineau.    2  voU.    Cbapman. 

WH  firn  disinclined  to  dnvotc  much     In  the  first  sta^e  all  phenomena  are 
Hpnrr  to  fi  notice  of  Mm  Martincau*8     regarded  from  tlie  theological  point  of 


tfanfilntion  and  condcnnntion  of  M. 
Conitnn  IVmltiyc  I'hilofiophj,  although 
wo  have  n^nd  nil  Huch  parts  of  the  work 
M  nro  rcndnble  hy  those  not  mvantt^ 
with  care  and  painful  thought.  Few 
readers,  perhaps,  arc  rpialified  to  judge 
of  thu  ]irofoun(l  s]>ecuIations  on  the 
older  scirnccs  which  are  contained  in 
these  \wayy  volumes.  Not  many  ran 
accompany  M.  (*omte  in  hU  fur-reuch- 
ing  hisloncnl  surveys,  without  feeling 
the  continual  necessity  of  refreshing 
their  memories  concerning  the  jiast, 
and  making  sure  of  the  correctness  of 
his  stnlcMientH  by  frecpient  reference 
to  hooks.  A  nurt,  however,  and  it  is 
by  no  means  tlie  least  important  nnrt, 
of  thnt  which  he  (and  his  traiislalor 
also)  desires  to  set  forth  for  the  benefit 
of  society,  tli)fii  lie  on  the  surface.  Any 
Intelligent  earnest  English  mind— any 
man  or  woman  of  fair  average  infor- 
mation, and  tolerably  trained  habits  of 
thought — is  f\illy  capable  of  deciding 
on  the  soundness  or  unsoundness  of 
that  which  it  is  really  of  most  cunse- 
nuonee  to  understuncf  in  the  thiniry  of 
tlie  Positive  Philosophv.  Disclaimed, 
as  such  a  notion  may  ()e,  in  words,  by 
M.  Comte,  he  cortaiidy  clws  make  an 
appiml  to  internal  consciousness — to  a 
consciousness  which  can  alone  Iw  ulti- 
mate judgi^  of  tlio  truth  of  several  of 
those  matters  which  he  has  put  forth 
an  outer  facts  ;  and,  if  we  are  correct 
In  saving  this,  every  intelligent  mind  is 
capable  of  pnmouncing  whether  ^1. 
Omite  is  right  or  wrong,  to  a  large 
extent.  So,  with  re^artl  to  many  ques- 
tions of  notorious  historical  fact,  long 
or  lately  past,  thero  is  really  no  stu- 
peudou.^  dtlllculty  in  deciding  whether 
w«  can  accept  either  his  statements,  or 
his  inforonccs  fnnn  them, 

M.  Comte  s  tluniry  has  often  been 
•tatcil ;  but  we  must  give  it  oniv  again. 

Kvery  seienoe  in  the  course  of  its 
human  applications  passes,  according 
U)  him,  thn>ugh  three  several  stages : 
p«rha|w  we  should  s}ieak  more  cor- 
nectly  if  we  said  that  the  human  race 
^  >ti  progress  oomca  to  view  the 
SMtMT  ihxtQ  Mvend  wpeok 


view ;  the  hidden  cause  is  all  in  all— 
the  facts  themselves  are  regarded  only 
as  emanations  from  that  cause — Whence 
they  arc  passed  over  with  slight  exa- 
mination, and  the  mind  only  rests  on 
the  invisible.  All  phenomena  are  thus 
referred  "  to  the  immediate  action  of 
supcniatural  beings." 

In  the  second  stage  the  mind  is  not 
employed  so  much  with  the  holy  and 
reverential  view  of  the  great  First 
Cause,  but  it  has  made  to  itself  a 
number  of  idols  of  the  mind — forces, 
entities,  &c. — some  supposed  powers, 
inherent  in  all  beings.  This  he  calls 
the  metaphysical  stage. 

In  the  third  stage  men  are  no  longer 
seeking  in  the  dark  forabsolute  notions, 
for  the  oricin  or  destination  of  the  uni- 
verse, for  the  cause  of  causes.  Nothing 
is  true  in  fact,  nothing  is  knowable  but 
actually  observed  facts  and  their  re- 
lations— the  invariable  relations  of  suc- 
cession and  resemblance.  The  number 
of  separate  i)henomena  which  may  be 
referretl  to  general  laws  is  ever  in- 
creasing, and  the  true  "  advancement 
of  learning"  is  therefore  only  by  the 
way  of  Positive  Philosophy. 

in  harmony  with  his  notion  of  the 
three  great  stages  of  progressive 
science,  M.  Comte  further  maintains 
that  thus  also  is  it  with  the  individual 
mind,  if  it  be  at  all  "  up  to  its  time." 
This,  too,  passes  through  three  great 
eras.  In  tiie  first  it  is  pious,  referring 
all  to  supernatural  causes.  In  the 
second  it  is  metaphysical  —  begin- 
ning to  explore  the  region  of  abstrac- 
tions—  giving  a  species  of  personal 
power  to  forces  of  nature,  &c. ;  and 
lastly,  imssing  into  the  practical  and 
|x>sitive,  when  it  waives  away 

AU  Uiat  the  ptfvnt,  aII  th«  prie»t  luuh  uoght,— 

neither  re<iuiring  nor  wishing  for  the 
reference  which  was  neeiled  for  its 
earlier  stages,  but  gradually  simplify- 
ing and  reducing  the  number  of  things 
which  cannot  be  referred  to  general 
laws,  and  finding,  in  that  process  of 
reduction,  amply  enough  for  its  con- 
tentment and  joy.

This,  we  sincerely  think,  is  a  fair 
statement  of  what  we  can  gather  from 
M,  Conite's  book,  as  now  transhvted 
Qtid  condonsod.  If  in  «ny  way  Miis- 
iaken,  lt?t  us  bei'orrccted  i  but  that  the 
brief  view  given  wouM  be  the  obvious 
and  popular  one,  we  can  hardly  doubt. 

Now  here  are  two  asauuiDtiotiii,  of 
the  truth  of  one  of  which  at  least  awy 
one  may  form  :i  judjjment.  We  begin 
by  the  peraoiml  and  individual  oiitj. 
Here  we  are  sure  that — not,  as  Miss 
Mnrtineau  predicts,  '■  in  theological 
sellishness  or  metaphysical  pride," — but 
really  from  the  best  exercise  of  their 
matured  jndgment>>  will  inuny  even 
advancetl  mindsj  diMiy  the  correctness 
of  M.  Conite's  philosophy  as  it  bears 
upon  the  question  of  individual  pro- 
gress. Moiit  earnestly  do  we  also  deny 
it  for  them*  They  may.  or  they  may 
not*  have  passed  distin<*tly  through  the 
two  first  8[)ecified  stages.  If  they  have, 
the  anticipated  result  come  to  paj^s? 
'jf  one  can  judge  <*f  such  a  fact 
Liraself ;  and  I  to  a  large  extent,  he 
can  say  bow  it  is  with  others.  Well, 
then,  how  stands  the  case  ?  Do  the 
early  devout,  an  they  go  ou  and  tchilt 
they  go  on,  generally  leave  their  de- 
votion behinii  ?  Of  course,  in  some 
cases  tliey  do  ;  but  it  is  far  indeed  from 
being  the  case  with  many^  and  those 
the  best  specimens  of  humanity.  True 
it  is,  that  there  is  much  of  fancy  in  the 
devout  fervours  of  many  a  young  spirit; 
there  is  a  time  of  shifting  and  <|iiestion- 
ing  in  mutters  of  feeling  as  well  as  in 
those  of  opinion,  and  all  who  are  honest 
with  themselves  must  learn  to  dia* 
tinguish,  though  by  a  painful  process, 
between  the  reaUties  of  religious  com* 
munion  and  its  counterl'eits — between 
steady  daylight  and  certain  Itirid 
ll ashes,  making  darkness  vii^ible.  Just^ 
however,  we  think,  as  the  physiciiin's 


quire  us  men  or  women  to  part  with 
any  good  element  which  has  beun  ours 
in  any  stage  of  the  way,  indeed,  we 
cannot  Inibeve.  On  the  con  trary,  there 
seem  to  be  a  thousand  reasons  why  wo 
should  want  the  blessed  consciousness 
of  a  Father  in  Heaven,  more  and  more 
as  life  goes  on.  Our  eras  of  existence 
have  need  of  such  an  intluencing  power, 
to  hallow  every  change,  and  to  touch 
our  worldliness  by  a  beam  of  his  di* 
vine  lights  Our  busy  lives  need  lliai 
— we  must  keep  his  Sabbaths  in  our 
hearts,  as  well  m  outwardly.  Our  sin- 
fulness needs  Him,  most  of  all.  The 
mournful  consciousness  of  wasted 
hours,  neglected  opportunities,  and 
forgotten  benefits,  presses  upon  lonely 
hours  with  a  weight  only  to  be  re- 
moved by  the  voice  of  one  speaking  to 
the  weary  and  heavy  daden  ;  and,  if  we 
really  thought  that  IncrcasGd  know- 
ledge of  the  world  around  us  would 
hide  '%\s  gieat  Maker  fioni  our  view, 
the  enlarged  pages  of  the  volume  of 
natural  science  would  be  a  sad  con- 
templation indeed ;  but,  in  reality,  we 
believe,  the  more  we  know  the  more 
deeply  shall  we  be  humiliated  by  the 
spectacle  of  the  ineflectivcness  of  mere 
knowledge;  the  more  earnestly  will 
recourse  be  had  to  those  wonderful 
aptitudes  of  the  devout  mind  to  seek 
moral  strength  ut  invisible  fountains, 
which  no  jdiilosophy  and  no  acquaint- 
ance with  facts  can  teach  us  to  ignore- 

M.  Comtc  must  nut  aOect  to  despise 
self-consciousness  on  these  points.  He 
has  invited  it  as  plainly  as  he  iovitea 
to  historical  or  scientjiic  research.  He 
tells  us  of  our  three  individual  eras. 
How,  but  by  individuid  inquiry,  can 
we  know  whether  he  is  right  or  wrong  ? 
Believing  the  iuqulry  to  be  perfectly 
fair,  wo  make  it;  and  this  is  the  result. 

Mobt  painful  it  is,  on  such  a  point,  to 


strong  sensibility  in  the  presence  of    lind  ourselves  at  issue  with  Miss  Mar- 


lering  decreases,  while  his  active 
'  es  to  relieve  it  gather  strength  by 
use,  so  surely  in  many  minds  do  deep 
and  fixed  habits  of  personal  piety,  and 
constant  reference  to  an  Almighty 
friend,  take  the  place  of  that  vehe- 
mence of  personal  feebng  which  dis- 
tinguished ihom  at  an  earlier  period.  To 
say  of  such  persons  that  they  have  got 
out  of  the  theologicid  sta^e  will  be  ever 
an  error  and  a  libel.  That  which  was 
onee  a  good  will  be  everlastingly  such 
to  thera*    That  PBooaKSS  should  re- 


lincau  ;  yet  more  confounding  to  our 
hopes  and  wishes,  to  fiud  her  possessed 
by  the  extraordinary  conviction  that 
she  is  doing  service  to  society  by 
making  more  widely  known  to  English 
readers  a  systematic  piece  of  argument 
leading  directly  to  the  disparagement 
of  all  that  has  hitherto  been  found 
capable  of  sustaining  men  under  theb" 
heaviest  sorrows,  and  enabling  them  to 
look  higher  than  the  imperfect  models 
of  earth  for  examples  and  stimtilrmta

it  is? 

If  it  be  deHtred  to  extinguish  preaamp-

point,  it  Heem$  to  me  thnt  the  best  resource 
It  the  piifhuit  of  Pofitive  PhiloBOphy^wilh 
its  train  of  noble  truths  and  irreaisttble 
inducements.  The  prospect*  it  opem  are 
bonndles* ;  for  among  the  laws  it  esta- 
blishes, that  of  human  progress  is  couspi* 
cuiKis*  The  virtues  it  fosters  are  all  those 
of  wliicli  man  is  capable ;  and  the  noblest 
are  tboRc  which  arc  more  eminently  fos- 
tered. The  habit  of  trutb-fieeking  and 
'trutb-speakinj^r  and  of  true  dealing  with 
srif  and  with  all  thiags,  la  evidentty  a 
priraary  requisite;  and^  this  habit  ooce 
ptTfectcd»  the  nattiral  conscience,  thus 
disciplined,  will  train  up  aII  other  moral 
attributes  to  ionne  ei|uality  with  it.  To 
nil  «ho  know  what  the  study  of  Positive 
Pbilosophy  .  .  ,  its  effect  on  human 
a^pirntion  and  hnmao  diar ipljne  is  fio  plain, 
that  any  doubt  can  be  explained  only  on 
the  supposition  that  accusers  do  not  know 
what  it  h  they  are  calling  in  question. 
My  hope  la  that  this  book  may  achieve, 
besides  the  purposes  entertained  by  its 
author,  the  one  more  that  he  did  not  in- 
tend— of  conveying  a  sufficient  rebuke  to 
those  who,  in  theological  sf  I  fishnets  or 
metaphysical  pride,  speak  evil  of  a  philo- 
sophy which  is  too  lofty  and  too  simple, 
ton  bumble  and  too  generous,  for  the  habit 
of  their  minds.  The  case  is  dear.  The 
Irtvv  of  progress  is  conspicuously  it  work 
throughout  human  history.  The  only  6eld 
of  progress  ia  now  that  of  Positive  Pbilo- 
Rophy^  Muder  whatever  name  it  may  be 
known  to  the  real  stttdents  of  etery  sect ; 
and  therefore  must  that  philosophy  be 
faTourablt!  to  those  virtues  whose  repres- 
sion would  be  incompatible  with  progress. 

And  now,  wilh  regard  to  the  world 
at  large,  though  to  consider  from  the 
bistoiical  point  of  view  whether  the 
theory  of  bumaidry  here  promulgated 
has  ft  jiudiciency  of"  truth  to  c^otnmand 
our  as)*ent,  would  occupy  iar  too  nm*'h 


rooiTij  one  very  memorable  passage  in 
M.  C'Omte  wilh  regard  to  France  can 
be  eai^ily  verified,  coming  so  near  our 
own  time:  it  will^  we  think,  startle 
many  refiders* 

There  hm  always  (he  says)  been  an  out- 
cry in  one  direction  or  another  about  the 
demoralisation  thnt  humanity  must  under- 
go if  this  or  that  su|)>ergtition  were  sup- 
pressed ;  and  we  see  the  foUy,  when  it 
relates  to  a  matter  which  to  ua  has  long 
ceased  to  be  connected  with  religion,  as, 
for  instaocet  the  observance  of  periooal 
clean UnesB,  wbich  the  Brahmins  insist  on 
making  wholly  dependent  on  theological 
prescription.  For  some  centuries  after 
Christianity  was  widely  established*  a  great 
number  of  statesmen,  and  even  philoso- 
phers, went  on  lamenting  the  corruption 
wbich  must  follow  the  downfall  of  poly- 
theistic superstitions.  The  greatest  service 
that  could  be  rendered  to  hnmao  kind 
while  this  ^ort  of  clamour  exbt«t,  is  that  a 
whole  nation  should  manifest  a  high  order 
of  virtue  while  essentially  alienated  from 
theological  belief.  Tkit  service  v»dt  ren* 
dered  bp  the  demonttraiion  attending  $Ae^ 
French  Uevolution.  Wken^  from  the 
leaders  to  the  lowest  citizens ^  there  iP«f 
seett  so  much  courage ,  military  and  chic, 
auch  patriotic  devotednest^  so  many  acts 
of  disinterestedness,  obscure  as  well  es 
conspicuous,  and  especially  througktmt 
the  iphole  of  the  republican  defence,  while 
the  ancient  faith  teas  abased  or  persecuted^ 
it  was  impossible  to  hold  to  the  retrograde 
belivf  of  the  moral  necessity  of  religious 
opinions.  It  will  not  be  supposed  that 
Dciijin  was  the  animating  influence  tn  this 
case  I  for  not  only  are  its  prescriptioos 
confused  and  precarious^  but  the  people 
were  nearly  as  indifferent  tn  modem  Deism 
as  to  any  other  religious  system. — Vol.  ii* 
p.  249,  350. 

No  one  but  a  French  man  we  think 
eouhl  hiive  penned  this  reiuarkuble 
passage.  A  I  rcnchnmn,  we  know,  ciin 
scarcely  help  te cling  that  even  his 
countrymen  s  worst  actions  have  a  re- 
decndug  quality  which  niakea  them 
quite  unlike  the  bad  actions  of  other 
(icoplej  but  we  do  feel  it  a  humiliating 
specimen  of  nationality. 

M.  Comte,  if  reviewing  the  actions 
of  other  nationalities,  would  not  surely 
make  so  great  a  mistake  as  to  suppose 
that  ail  the  instances  of  virtue  he 
speaks  of  came  out  ofa  new  and  strange 
Ktate  of  society,  and  that  none  were 
an  inheritance  from  the  old  and  yet  very 
recent  slate.  Much,  indeedj  ihat  wrts

Revolution,  every  one  koows  was  not  so 
at  aU» — vf&A  TJithiiv  base  nnd  tlc^ading 
Buper^tition.  Yet,  inoht  surelj,  there 
were  many  pure,  virtuous^  and  Bni^erc 
Christians  m  old  Fninue.  Could  the 
influence  of  iheir  extimnle  and  tench' 
ings  be  lost  throughout  a  nation  in  a 
few  years  ?  \Mio  knows  how  large  a 
part  they  Btill  retained  in  hearts  that 
were,  it  may  be,  but  diinly  conscious 
of  the  intluence  ?

No  rmtural  nurture  of  any  kind,  we 
believe,  was  goin;j  on  during  the  French 
Revolutjon.  The  donieslie  hearth- 
fires  were  extingtiiahed.  A  high  order 
of  virtue  was  out  of  the  question, 
though  isolated  acts  of  noblcnes;^,  no 
doubt,  appeared  to  brighten  the  dark- 
ness of  that  time.  When»  indeed, 
women  were  going  mad  by  hundreds, 
and  the  births  of  idiots  and  precoci- 
ously stimulated  naturea  were  more 
numerous  than  jierhaps  ever  before 
known  in  cmy  nation,  im  stable  fortii 
of  character  could  bo  prognosticated  \ 
and  the  last  thing  to  be  expected  was 
a  generally  "  high  order  of  virtue." 

Heroic  emotions,  !iere  and  there, 
fpring  up  over  when  the  depths  of 
humanity  are  stirred  as  they  were 
then ;  but  a  fitting  time  of  education 
it  can  never  be.  Neither  the  r^uiet 
,  iiiJitcmttl  rearing  of  infiincy,  nor  the 
fatherly  culture  of  the  young,  can  pro- 
ceed by  well-ordered  stages  at  such  a 
season ;  ant!  we  are  ctnnpelled  to  feel 
how  low  n^ust  be  AI.  Comte's  type,  if 
he  can  regard  the  French  Revolution 
character  as  of  an  exalted  kind.  Had 
it  been  bo,  how  strange  that  a  low 
and  vulgar  form  of  mditary  tyranny 
should  so  soon  Ijave  succeeded  to  the 
previous  elevation !  The  present  stute 
of  French  morality,  indeed,  M.  Comtc 
does  not  rate  high  :  on  the  contrary, 
he   LimenlB   over  it,   while   imputing 

tits  short-comings  and  its  evils  in  a 
great  measure  to  the  presence  of  so 
much  only  half-demoiished  theology. 
And  yet  if  M.  Comte  would  go  abroiid 
and  make  a  quiet  examination  of  the 
diflerent  circles  of  French  social  life, 
^  where  would  he  Und  the  patrons  and 
■   admirers  of  the  viciouh  dramas   nntl 


impure  novels  which  pollute  French 
literature  ?  Not,  we  are  sure,  among 
the  5obei%  serious  c^ort  of  French  Pro- 
testants— not  among  the  devout  and 
consistent  of  I'atholies.  It  would  be, 
we  suspect,  almost  wholly  among  the 
godless  in  theory  and  practice. 

The  world  cannot,  in  short,  any  more 
than  the  individual,  spare  its  theology 
as  it  grows  older.  Its  inventions,  its 
clearing  up  of  many  ditiiculties,  its  now 
cosy  explanations  of  various  pheno- 
mena carry  it  up  to  a  certain  point 
with  wonderful  facibty  ;  but,  contem- 
plating the  dense  mass  of  ignorance 
and  vice  which  everywhere  comes  into 
our  view  of  society,  even  in  a  Chrintian 
land,  we  Jeel  it  a  hollow  mockery  to 
point  to  a  knowledge  of  nature  as  that 
which  ie  to  cure  our  social  evils.  Know- 
ledge indeed  directed  by  love  can  do 
great  things— the  knowledge  of  po- 
sitive physical  facts,  everybody  allows, 
may  and  does  aid  essentially  in  the 
proper  appliance  of  means  to  ends  : 
but  the  awakened  heart,  the  mii^sionary 
mind,  precedes  all  the  real  benefits 
society  has  received  from  the  applica- 
tion of  such  knowledge ;  flnd  if  the 
capital  fact  of  a  Father  in  Heaven 
brooding  over  the  kind  designs  of  his 
children,  prompting  the  desire  to  recal 
the  wandering,  and  ready  ever  to  re- 
ceive the  lost  son,  is  to  be  ignoi'ed, 
how  wild,  how  misdirected,  how  in- 
efficacious vf  ill  be  human  jdans  of  re- 
lief I  We  conclude,  indeed,  that  M, 
Comte,  and  Miss  Martineau  also,  would 
have  much  to  say  abont  the  frequent 
mis-direction  of  Christian  effort.  Any- 
thing of  this  kind  ought  to  be  humbly, 
nay  thanklully^  in  as  far  as  it  is  true, 
received ;  but  then  let  us  make  the 
full  uses  of  such  concessions.  Let 
them  throw  us  back,  as  they  ought, 
upon  ourselves,  and,  when  we  arc  most 
t!eeply  humbled  by  them,  it  will  be  the 
titne  to  feel  more  strongly  than  we 
have  ever  done  before,  that  we  want 
to  benmre  fiuthful  to  the  light  given  us, 
rather  than  to  seek  darkness :  to  put 
out  our  lamp  because  it  is  not  the  sun, 
would  seem  but  foolish  policy,  and  so, 
and  much  worse,  would  be  tlie  ab- 
surdity of  giving  up  fuith  and  hope 
because  they  have  not  been  productive, 
through  the  sinfulness  una  weakness 
of  humanity,  of  the  fullness  of  bless- 
ing ttiey  were  meant  to  convey^

of  the  firat  i)eriotl  is  that  of  the  Czars 
of  the  fttUi.  Tlie  former  erected  a

of  testimony  that  their  march  in  the 
dirvetion  of  Constantinople  was  blessetl

All  the  early  expetlitions  made 
■gainst  the  last-named  city  were  by 
MA,  and,  doiipite  the  ferocity  with  which 
ihoy  were  maintained,  the  commercial 
relations  of  the  Cirock  empire  and  the

Vladimir  divided  his  extensive  do- 
minions among  his  ten  sons.  The  natural 
result  of  this  course  was  an  internecine 
war  of  succession  carried  on  during 
two  centuries  and  a-half,  with  all  the 
aggravated  ferocity  peculiar  to  family 
(luarrels.  The  Tartars  benefited  by 
the  dissensions,  and  made  of  the  people 
a  herd  of  slaves ;  and  the  fratricidal 
disturbances  and  the  Tartar  supremacy 
fill  up  the  second  and  third  periods  of 
the  Russian  historj. 

The  fourth  period  commences  with 
Ivan  1.  and  Lis  establishment  of  a 
capital  at  Moscow,  in  1 325  ;  but  he 
and  his  successors  had  to  struggle  daily 
with  the  Tartar  hordes,  who  were  not 
thoroughly  subdued  till  14*25,  when 
Ivan  ill.  mounted  tho  ducal  throne, 
o|)ened  the  fifth  period,  and,  after  a 
reign  full  of  what  is  calletl  "  glory," 
left  a  large  inheritance  to  his  son  Ivan 
the  Terrible,    a.d.  1533. 

This  monster  was  without  teeth  when 
ho  succeedeil  to  his  tather*s  greatness, 
but  his  mother,  Helena,  reigned  during 
his  minority,  and  set  such  an  example 
to  hor  sex  that  Messalina  was  pure  by 
coiniMirisoii.  The  Ihw  w:i5  trained  to 
Ik»  a  savage,  to  kill  animals,  to  ride 
OYor  iMsople  in  the  street.*.  He  was 
taught  to  be  a  destroyer;  and  the  Czars 
of  later  days  have  not  tor-jot  ten  the  in- 
struction, thouirh  they  apply  it  more 
tenderly.  Ivan  was  only  m  his  teens 
when  he  had  ono  of  his  own  attendants 
worried  by  dogs  in  the  public  highway, 
The  yuung  geutloman  thought  it  ex- 
ci^llent  sport :  and  he  was  euvx>uraged 
to  intUilge  in  it  by  tho  Gluiiky  family, 
who  wore  proud  to  bo  the  preceptors

utterer — and  the  latter  died  \vith  his 
sorry  )est.  The  very  tiubles  wei*e  not 
safe.  He  once  flung  over  Prince  Gooa- 
dof,  who  bad  failed  in  an  attempt  to 
be  witty,  a  tureen  of  scalding  hot  soup, 
and  as  the  prince  endeavoured  to  ej- 
cape,  the  Czar  plunged  a  knife  intu  his 
side.  The  unhappy  noble  fell  ileail,  and 
Ivan,  remarking  that  he  had  "  carried 
the  joke  far  enough,"  bade  the  physi- 
cian attend  to  him.  "  It  is  only  God 
and  your  majesty,"  said  the  medical 
toady,  "  who  can  restore  the  nrince  to 
lile ;  he  is  quite  gone/*  The  Czar  was 
a  little  alTected  at  the  event,  but  he 
took  a  pleasant  way  of  forgetting  it. 
A  favourite  noble  happened  to  meet 
him,  and  bent  in  reverence  before  him. 
The  Czar  was  delighted  to  fall  in  with 
him,  and  took  hold  of  him  by  the  ear, 
just  aa  Napoleon  used  to  do  with  his 
arch* favourites;  but  the  French  em- 

J)eror  was  accustomed  to  leave  the  ear 
le  pinched  upon  the  head  of  its  owner ; 
not  so  Ivan,  who  using  his  knife  cut 
oil' the  niemher  and  thing  it  into  the 
face  of  his  ancient  fi'iend,  who  received 
the  same  with  many  ackDowledgments 
of  his  master  s  condecension.  Ivan  was 
the  husband  of  seven  wives — at  once ; 
and  tlm  was  the  only  circumstance  in 
hi«  character  which  the  Greek  Church 
in  Kussiu  ever  afi'ected  to  blame  in  him. 
His  oiitr  lo  espouse  our  Virgin  Queen 
**"  :aheth  must  have  made  that  graci- 
lady  mei'ry.  Ivan  hlmseU  soon 
ceased  to  be  so.  In  a  tit  of  fury  he 
liis  own  son  dead  by  blows  trom 


an  iron  bar,  and  God  and  outraged  na- 
ture no  longer  spared  this  most  hideouit 
of  monsters,  lie  became  gloomy,  but 
hardly  less  cruel ;  and  partial  madness 
succeeded  to  gloom*  and  death  at  last 
to  both. 

This  savage  was  nevertheless  one  of 
the*ablest  of  men  and  of  rulers^  when 
he  chose  to  let  his  natural  abilities  for 
good  have  away  over  his  natural  dispo- 
sition for  evil.  He  introduced  printing 
into  Russia,  gave  it  a  code  of  laws, 
encouraged  religious  toleration,  and 
promoted  civilization  by  patronising 
the  line  arts  throughout  their  brilliant 
circle  with  a  liberality  never  perhaps 
known  out  of  his  dominions.  But  he 
Wiis  a  UoloFsu5  of  intemperance  in  all 
things,  and  intemperance  begat  cruelty, 
and  the  indulgence  of  both  led  to  in- 
sanity,— and  therewith,  strange  to  say, 
this  great  incarnation  of  the  ^*  beastly" 
died  a  natural  death  !  So  strange  are 
all  things  in  the  land  of  the  Czars  1 

In  the  person  of  his  son  and  sucj^efsor 
Feodor  L^  ended  the  line  of  Kuric. 
Boris,  the  brother-in-law  of  Feodor, 
and  murderer  of  Demetrius,  Feodor*<i 
brother,  was  elected  Czar  uller  the 
death  of  the  son  of  Ivan  IV.  His  dis- 
astrous reign  was  followed  by  the  more 
disiistrous  one  of  his  son,  teodor  II., 
who  was  ultimately  strangled,  and  his 
place  taken  by  a  monk,  who  is  known 
as  the  false  Demetriu^^  and  who  met 
the  fate  he  had  intiicted  on  his  prede- 
cessor. Under  the  reign  of  the  suc- 
ccssorof  the  pseudo-Demetrius,  Vasaili, 
Russia  was  torn  by  insurrection  and 
famine.  To  make  confusion  worse 
confounded,  the  Poles  swept  over  the 
cf»untry,  destroyed  every  thing  before 
them,  reigned  over  ruin,  and  that  with 
such  unexampled  tyranny,  that  the 
nation  rose,  drove  them  out,  and  chose 
for  their  Czar,  Michael,  the  tiri*t  sove- 
reign of  the  present  dynasty — of  the 
house  of  Rom  a  not.  The  new  Czar 
created  his  father  Patriarch  of  the 
Greek  Church  in  Russia,  and  chose  for 
his  wil*i  the  daughter  of  a  man  who 
was  ploughing  in  the  fields  when  the 
information  reached  hini  that  he  waf 
father-in-law  of  the  Czar.  Nicholas, 
therefore,  has  no  claim  to  sneer  at  the 
marriage  nf  Lciuin  Nanoleon  with  the 
gran«ldnughter  of  Mr.  Fitzpatnck. 
The  tirst  Romanof  made  a  worse  choice, 
and  he  gained  power  bv  the  same 
means  wa  that  which  raised  the  present

*"  estowed  on  him  the  dignity  which  is 
DW  worn   by  bis  descendant,  Count 

Peter  woi*  perhaps  the  greatest  of 
ihe  Czard  of  the  sixth  period;  but  the 
details  of  his  story  are  too  well  knowji 
need  rec;imtu1atioji.  1  will,  bow- 
er, notice  how  he  bore  himself  iu 
[tbat  invai^ion  of  Turkey  in  1712,  from 
irLich  ho  escaped  m  a  condition  which, 
bad  as  it  was,  will,  it  is  to  be  hoped, 
be  envied  by  hi.s  imitator,  Nicholas. 

The  triumph  of  the  Czar  Peter  over 
tbe  King  of  Sweden  at  Pultowa,  was 
the  full  revenge  for  a  blunder  and  a 
crime  committed  by  Charles.  The 
latter  had  received  a  Jjivonian  depu* 
tat  ion,  at  tbe  head  of  which  was  an 
ofHcer  named  Patka!,  The  object  of 
the  deputation  was  to  yhew  the  grie- 
vances under  which  Livonia  was  suf- 
fering. Charles  XIL  received  the 
members  graciously^  and  complimented 
AlJkuJ  on  his  patriotic  frankness.  A 
fyw  dujrs  after  the  subject  assumed  a 


difiercnt  aspect  in  his  capricious  eyes, 
and  the  Livoni.iii  was  then  proclaimetl 
by  him  as  a  tra.itor.  PatkTil  eticaped, 
and  entered  the  service  of  the  Czar. 
In  this  act  there  was  no  disloyalty  to 
Charles,  tor  Pntkul,  as  a  free  Livoniai]) 
liad  a  perfect  right  to  select  his  own 
master.  That  master  subsequently 
employed  him  tn  a  matter  of  diplomacy 
»t  tlie  court  of  that  unclean  and  infa- 
mous monster — Augustus  of  Poland. 
The  Livonian  was  there  under  the 
sacred  character  of  ambassador ;  but 
Augustus  flung  him  over  to  the  mud 
cruelty  of  Charles,  as  soon  iis  the  latter 
thought  proiKir  to  demand  bun.  The 
insane  Siv^cde  sat  down  and  wrote  the 
doom  of  his  victim;  and  by  virtue  of 
ihU  royul  doeu  men  I,  Patkul  was  broken 
on  the  wheel,  and  subsequently  quar- 
tered. All  humanity  cried  shame! 
upon  the  penietrator  of  a  deed  the  chief 
guilt  in  which  attaches  to  that  crowned 
and  cowardly  brute — ^Augustus. 

Peter,  who  was  especially  incensed 
ut  this  tragcily,  was  avengeil,  thuuglt 
not  ap[iea9ed|  by  the  victory  at  Pul- 
towa,  and  the  conquest  of  Uiga  and 
the  Livonian  provinces.  Charles,  after 
the  loss  of  that  bloudy  day,  took  sanc- 
tuary and  .scanty  charity  at  the  hearth 
ol'  the  Sultan.  Chafeil  and  moody,  he 
inirsed  his  wr:ith  at  Hender,  where,  in 
return  for  the  small  allowance  and  not 
over  candy -ed  courtesy  be  met  witli 
from  the  head  of  Lslamism,  he  stirred 
up  the  latter  to  ei  most  uncomfortable 
consetoui^uess  of  the  dangers  which  the 
C  Htoman  empire  would  now  incur  were 
the  triumi^bs  of  Russia  to  be  unchecked. 
The  suggestions  f>f  Charles  were  ren- 
dered of  double  imijortance  by  tho«e 
made  in  similar  spirit  by  the  Khan  of 
the  Crimean  Tartars,  whom  Peter 
thrcatene*!  to  devour?  and  when  the 
Swedish  envoy,  Foniatowski,  repre- 
sented in  fuller  details  to  the  Divan 
the  perils  which  menaced  Turkey  from 
the  side  of  Russia,  the  Turks,  in  a 
mingled  fever  of  fear  and  fury,  calfeU

cre-iccnt  shone  out  in  triumph  over 
the  double -necked  eagle,  which  proudly

prompt  in  her  warlike  declarations 
than  slie  was  then  \ — save,  indeed,  on 
one  point,  her  treatment  of  the?  Russmn 
envoj  m.  Constantinnple*  \^'lien  the 
Sultan  declared  war  agaiuitt  Peter,  he 
UDinediately  shut  up  Pctor*s  repre- 
sentative in  the  Castle  of  the  ^even 
Towers.  Count  Tola  to j,  it  may  be 
added,  deserved  such  a  tlite  much  less 
thaa  Prince  ^lenschikoflT  on  a  more 
reeenl;  occasion,  whose  arrogance  was 
the  more  lively  as  he  knew  that  the 
ie verity  of  the  old  Ottoman  code  of 
mftnners  was  more  somnolent  than  of 
yore. 

The  arrangements  made  by  Peter 
for  the  campaign  contrast  favourablv 
with  the  blundering  tactics  whicL 
hitherto,  at  least,  have  ordy  earned 
didgrace  for  the  Uussian  arms  on 
the  Turkish  frontier-  J^Iohlavisi  was 
marched  upon  by  a  force  under  Prince 
Galitzin ;  and  a  second,  under  Marshal 
Sheremetof,  advancc^i  on  the  same 
point.  The  land  forces  at  Azoph  and 
on  the  shores  of  the  Black  Sea,  and 
the  fleets  near  the  former  and  on  the 
waters  of  the  Euxine,  were  under  the 
supreme  command  of  one  man,  Ad- 
miriil  Aprixin*  It  was  the  inr)st  singu- 
lar and  the  most  faulty  of  Peter's 
ammgementa.  In  this  respect  Nicholas 
has  excelled  his  predecessor. 

Peter^  as  he  sat  ut  supper  the  ni^lit 
before  he  left  Moscow,  bad  with  him 
two  friends  and  counsellors,  both  of 
whom  had  sprung  from  the  lowest  of 
stations  by  power  of  the  sweetest  of 
▼oices.  One  was  MenzikolF,  who  called 
"hot  pies/*  with  so  inL-lodiuii.-*  a  note 
in  the  streets  id'  JL»scow%  that  Peter 
was  won  by  the  tune  a«  well  as  the 
wares  of  the  illiterate  peasant  pastry- 
cook fi'oni  the  banks  of  the  Volga. 
He  bade  the  lad  renounce  his  callings 
sent  hinv  to  school^  and  (in ally  made  of 
him  what  the  Duke  of  Parma  (when 
he  absents  himself  from  his  duchy) 
ever  makes  of  his  old  groom,  Jem 
Ward — regent  of  his  dominions.  Peter 
left  MenzikolTat  the  bead  of  allairs  at 
St.  Petersburg,  while  the  senate  of 
regency  was  established  at  Moscow. 
The  other  friend  of  Peter  was  a  woman, 
who,  in  her  Swedish  obscurity,  was 
known  by  the  name  of  Martha.  The 
widow  of  a  Swedish  serjeant,  she  had 
been  capture<l  at  the  siege  of  Miigde- 
burg  by  Geufrfll  Bauer.  The  epi- 
curean genortil  pbced  his  prisoner  at

the  head  of  his  cullmiry  department, 
where  her  ability  attracted  the  com- 
mendations of  ^lenxikofl',  who  subse- 
tjuently  introduced  her  to  the  Czai% 
She  was  as  ignorant  of  letters  aa  the 
handle  of  one  of  her  own  saucepans ; 
and,  though  she  was  far  from  impe- 
rially beautifulj  she  was  pretty»  viva- 
cious, full  of  grace  of  motion,  and 
with  that  ^ift  which  Shakspeare  and 
Luther  praised  as  highly  as  Peter  loved 
it, — namely,  a  soft  and  sweet  voice, 
**  an  excellent  thing  in  woman  I"  Pet^r 
had  privately  married  this  heroine, 
who,  on  being  made  an  honest  woman, 
assumed  the  names  of  Catharine- 
Alexina.  They  had  now  been  married 
four  years,  and  Peter,  before  setting 
out  to  the  Prutli,  made  public  decla- 
ration of  their  union.  General  Bauer's 
cook  was  Czarina  of  Muscovy,  and 
thongli  she  could  neither  read  nor 
write,  she  had  as  much  sense  of  the 
strong  common  sort  as  half-a- hundred 
princesses  who  could  do  both. 

Strong  sense  and  a  sweet  voice : 
with  these  charms  she  soothed  the 
savage  nature  of  Peter,  and  brought 
the  imperial  Cymon  sighing  to  the  feet 
of  the  novel  Iphigenia.  But  Peter  was 
not  like  the  swain  who  "  whistled,  as 
he  went  for  \v1int  of  thought;"  he  was 
not  a  "  fool  of  nature,"  and  be  needed 
something  more  than  a  nyraph  to  curb 
the  devil  in  him.  Catharine  wsis  the  pre- 
cise person  fitted  for  the  task.  Shec<:juld 
be  coarse  of  speech  nnd  as  unrefmed  in 
manner  as  her  lord  ;  but  she  ever  kept 
under  dominion  what  be  was  constantly 
aOowing  to  get  the  dominion  over  him 
—namely,  her  wits.  Peter  was  for 
ever  losing  his, and,  when  this  occurred, 
Catharine  told  him  of  bis  short-comings 
with  a  candour  which  bruught  down 
upon  !ier  a  torrent  of  abuse,  and  then 
her  persuasive  voice  musically  wooed 
her  abuser  to  a  confession  of  error,  and 
expressions  of  sorrow  for  fierce  tin- 
cleaidiness  of  language.  The  might  of 
her  nuigic  consisted  in  this,  that  she 
never  lot^t  her  temper;  the  helplessness 
of  the  terrible  Czar  was  to  be  Ibund  in 
the  opposite  fact  that  he  not  only  !ost 
bis  temper,  but  therewith  became  en- 
tirely oblivious  of  himself.  The  odds 
were  all  on  the  lady's  side. 

The  Czarina  was  resolved  to  accom- 
pany the  Czar  in  this  great  expedition, 
of  which  the  pre.Kcnt  presence  of  the

Wcli,  Peter  WHS  grievously  diaup 
pointed  by  the  failure  of  the  outbreak 
m  Moldavia.  Cantounr,  the  Christiao 
Vaivode  there,  had  organised  a  ravolt, 
and  his  confederate,  the  Bishop  of  Je- 
rusalem, had  bleated  the  attempt  to 
make  of  Moldavia  an  indei>endent  mo» 
noi'chy,  witli  Demetrius  Cantemir  foj 
king,  under  the  pn^tection  of  the  Csar. 
Brancovan,  Vaivo^le  of  VVallachia,  had 
engaged  to  strike  in  on  the  same  side, 
but  tliia  treasonable  bubble  cxplodedi 
although  Ruaaia  did  her  very  utmost 
to  keep  it  aOoat.  Brancuvan  dis- 
covered that  Cantenur's  projects  were 
influenced  by  the  most  »elf]tih  tiiottvea 
— and,  moreover,  the  Chriatian  ponulii* 
tions  of  the  two  provinces  could  not 
be  induced  to  Ibllow  their  lofal  chiefs 
in  the  path  of  treason ;  they  rcnmincNl 
aianch  ndbcrunts  to  the  Turkiih  cau»e, 
and  served  the  Sultan  bravely.  As 
for  t!ic  BinhtiD,  he  lied;  and  had  the 
utmost  dillii-ulty  to  preserve  his  head 
upon  hia  shoulders  during  his  Jlight. 
More  than  once,  his  pursuers  were  in-

height  of  his  power,  cared  very  little 
for  etiquette,  but  in  Ihe  days  of  bis 
ndversity  he  refused  to  sncrificc  the 
rights  of  his  royal  dignity*  nnd  he 
an/rrily  ifisrsted  on  the  woodcutter  first 
making  a  visit  of  homage  to  the  King 
of  Sweden*  Baltaji  smiled  at  the  re- 
quest, struck  his  tent^,  and  passed  ou, 
much  more  desirous  of  circuutventing 
Alarshal  Sheremetolfj  who,  with  a 
large  force,  was  to  the  south  of  Jassy^ 
than  of  viaitijig  a  crownless  and  cho- 
leric king.  The  buter  would  probably 
have  had  a  more  unwelcome  visitor  at 
Bender,  in  the  person  of  the  Czar  and 
his  wild  hordes,  hnd  not  tlje  Kbau  of 
Crimea,  with  honlef?  «8  wiblj  watched 
the  residence  and  cared  for  the  safety 
of  the  downcast  Swede, 

The  marcli  of  Peter  upon  Jassy  was 
slowly  etfected,  and  with  great  at- 
tendant suflering.  Swarms  of  locusts 
hid  entirely  destroyed  the  herbage  by 
the  way,  and  the  supplies  of  water 
were  miserably  inefficient,  Tije  courage 
of  the  Russ  was,  however,  supported 
by  the  exnmple  of  the  Czarina,  who 
not  only  suffered  in  common  wiib  the 
soldiery,  but  lent  solace  to  her  fellow- 
sufferers.  She  was  in  her  sphere  in 
such  a  scene.  It  was  not  the  first  time 
she  had  followed  the  drum,  and  no 
"canliniere"  was  more  prompt  to 
succour  and  gentle  in  administering 
than  Catharine,  when  the  sick  and  the 
luingi'y  called  for  aid.  She  and  the 
army  generally  looked  to  Jfl«sy  as  at 
once  their  granary  and  resting-place ; 
but,  when  they  had  reached  that  long- 
desired  fortress  of  their  hopes,  the  fa- 
mished invaders  found  scarcely  enough 
ill«rein  to  furnish  tbeni  with  one  day's 
|fcllYisions,  Thereupon » the  wonl  "  for* 
i^urd"  WHS  given»  and  the  famished 
Russians  staggered  on  towards  the 
Pruth,  in  sight  of  which  thcv  arrived 
on  the  18th  of  June,  1712.  fterethey 
were  worse  off  than  ever.  The  Turks 
had  crosse*)  the  river  before  the  Mos- 
covite  banner  was  in  sight,  and  two 
hundred  thousand  men,  for  to  such 
number  was  the  Osmanli  levy  swollen 
by  the  Tartar  re-ittforcements,  now 
stood  ready  to  shower  down  upon  Peter 
the  storm  of  shot  and  steel  which  he 
frantically  ati-ovc  to  turn  a^lde.  He 
WAS  in  the  most  critical  position  front 
the  Tcry  first,  and  it  is  very  clear  that 


bis  perils  afforded  no  warning  to  the 
Russian  generals,  who,  with  less  fatal 
results,  nearly  fell,  in  the  early  part  of 
the  -present  campaign,  into  a  somewhat 
similar  position.  Peter  beheld  on  one 
side  of  the  river  the  hostile  camp  of 
the  Crimean  Tartiirs,  while,  t>n  the 
other,  the  main  body  of  the  Turkish 
forces  had  so  mano&uvred  as  to  cut  off 
his  retreat  upon  Jassy.  He  attempted 
to  procure  a  little  water  from  the  river 
to  refrci^h  bis  men,  who  were  not  only 
weak  from  hunger,  but  half -mad  from 
thirst.  The  Turkish  artillery,  how- 
ever, was  so  directed  that  no  drawer  of 
water  approached  the  bonk  without 
certain  loss  of  life. 

The  Czar's  resolution  was  at  oncii 
formed.  He  shaped  his  force  into  one 
grand  hollow  square,  against  which  the 
Turkish  masses  flung  themselves  like 
surge  upon  the  rocks,  falling:  back  with 
broken  crests.  It  was  solely  owing  to 
the  bad  training  of  the  Turkish  officers 
that  the  Russian  square  was  not  en* 
tirely  annihilaterl.  And,  it  may  be 
added,  that  if  the  training  be  some- 
what better  now,  which  is  very  ques- 
tionable so  far  as  the  greater  number 
of  the  otScera  is  concerned,  the  method 
of  instruction  is  as  distasteful  to  these 
gentlemen  as  evei .  In  proof  of  this, 
It  is  only  nece.'ssary  to  cite  an  incident 
noticed  \^ty  recently  by  the  *'Owtt 
Correspondent"  of  the  Times.  The 
Europi*nn  drillers  of  tlie  Turks  were 
generally  called  "adviser?,*'  though 
seldom  listened  to.  *'  A  Ilungftriaii 
cavalry  officer,"  writes  the  Correspon- 
dent, *"  was  not  long  since  in  this 
position,  as  drill-instructor.  Afler  a 
week  or  two  of  drill  the  Turkish  officera 
assembled  in  a  body,  and  represented 
to  the  Hungarian  that  the  trouble  and 
work  of  European  drill  were  intolerable* 

*  If  you  persevere  in  this,'  saiJ  they, 

*  we  will  intrigue  at  Constantinople, 
and  cause  your  removal.  Sit  down, 
like  a  senstble  man,  and  smoke  your 
pipe  in  peace.  Why  should  you  tor- 
ment yourself  nnd  us  ?*  *  What  could 
I  do  ?  said  the  Hungarian  to  a  friend 
of  mine,  *  I  can*t  afford  to  lose  the 
pay  ;  so  I  submitted,  as  others  do.*  A 
Russian  officer,  now  a  prisoner  at  the 
sera*kierBte here,  observes,  *  that  every 
Turkish  soldier  should  hjwe  a  decora- 
tion of  brilliants,  and  that  every  officer 
deserved  the  bastinado/ '"  By  such

the  unnumbered  foe.  At  the  end  of 
the  third  day  the  Hus^iana*  powder  was 
exhausted  ;  the  men  stood  with  empty 
pouches  and  firelockj  before  the  welf- 
providcd  enemy.  Peter  was  like  an 
ungovernable  wild  beast  in  the  awful 
fury  of  hiM  wrath ;  and  in  hid  despair 
benadwell  nij^h  lowt  all  by  ordering

jiuch  an  attempt  might  involve  the  en- 
tire lo.^*  of  the  army,  the  Czarina,  and 
hitniielf.  In  the  acute  agony  of  his 
despairing  irresolution  he  shut  himself 
up  m  his  tent,  within  the  square,  and, 
flinging  off  all  self-control,  he  so 
abandoned  himself  to  the  tempest  of 
bis  rage  that  he  at  length  rolled  on  the 
ground  in  frightful  convulsions.  lie 
bad  Mtertily  forbidden  the  access  of 
Catharine  to  him,  on  pain  of  death; 
but  when  he  opened  his  eyes,  and  reason 
again  dawned  upon  him,  the  Czarina 
was  at  his  side.  His  lirst  impulse  waa 
to  strike  her,  but  she  whtspored  the 
word  *^  negotiation  i  **  and  this  hitherto 
unthouf;ht-of  meims  of  escape  fell  so 
suthleofyj  yet  *<o  relVcuhinirly,  upon  the 
chafed  mind  of  PetiTj  that  the  strong 
man  wiw  chnnged,  and  he  wt'pt  more 
like  a  chihl  than  a  hero — except  indeed 
It  Greek  hero,  who  was  j^cncrally  weep* 
tog  when  he  was  not  lying,  and  was 
sometimes  doln;^  both. 

Peter  refused,  however^  to  interfere 
personally  in  this  matteiv  lie  would 
not  allow  \m  iirime  to  be  employed  ; 
but  Catharine  had  wit  enoiicFh  to  do 
without  him,  nm]  ijucet^cdcil  tlie  l>etter 
for  being  [iii\  to  herself.  She  sent  the 
usual  prci^cnts  to  the  wood-cutting 
vi«icr,  lurs  iiinl  jewels, — customary  ud- 
dition^  to  give  weight  to  n  request  for 
an  audience.  The  letter  of  requuMt  wjih

remain   in   doubt  was  worse  than  to

took  an  originallY  heroic  form.   He  s«fe^|

unconditional  surrender,  the  Russians 
would  cut  their  way  through  the  Turk-

This  resolution  having  been  agreed  to, 
the  army  waited  in  silent  observation

According  to  the  terms  sent  in  by 
Baltjvji  Meheraet,  Peter  was  required 
to  deliver  to  the  sentence  of  the  Sultan 
the  traitorous  Christian  subject  of  the 
lntler>  Cantemir  Vaivmle  of  Moldavia, 
who  hftfl  fought  against  tlie  Osmanlis 
in  the  ranks  of  the  Russians,  Peter 
exhibited  true  heroism  on  this  occa- 
sion, repljing  to  the  request,  thrit  he 
would  prefer  abandoning  to  the  Turks 
all  the  territory  extending  even  to 
Gursk,  leather  than  betray  Cantemir, 
"I  might  regain  the  territory,**  said 
the  Csar,  "but  lost  honour  is  like  lost 
time — it  is  never  ao:ain  to  be  recovered. 
All  1  have  is  my  honour ;  losing  that, 
I  lose  my  kingly  state/*  Baltaji  yielded 
on  this  point ;  but  he  was  not  content 
with  merely  driviniif  the  liuss  back  to 
his  own  stepj>e&.  He  compelled  him  to 
surrender  Azoph,  Ttiganrog,  and  other 
important  pointy,  the  cbiel'  of  which 
were  connected  with  Feter*a  darling 
project  of  supreme  maritime  power  on 
the  Black  Sea.  When  these  and  some 
other  bitter  sacrifices  were  nnule — and 
the  tact  should  be  remembered  wlieti 
ihii  hour  comes  for  negotiating  with 
Nicholas,  a  treaty  was  signed  by  the 
two  powers  nt  the  little  village  of 
Falksen,  on  the  banks  of  the  river 
Pruth. 

Peter  died  in  17'2j,  and,  the  son 
Ale3cis  whom  his  cruelty  destroyed 
being  dead,  his  wife  Catharine  suc- 
ceeded to  a  greatness  which  she  glo- 
riously upheld  during  a  brief  period  of 
little  more  than  two  years. 

I  have  scarcely  space  left  to  show 
how  the  House  of  Brunswick  came  tiJ 
rule  in  Russia,  but  will  attempt  to  do 
flO  as  well  as  my  narrowing  limits  will 
aUow. 

On  the  death  of  Catliariue,  the  son 
of  the  unhappy  and  murdered  Alexis 
asceoded  the  throne.  His  rei^,  how- 
ever, was  unmarked  by  any  mcident 
of  importance,  and  his  character,  like 
his  reign,  presented  nothing  worthy  of 
remark.  In  1730  he  was  aueceedcd 
by  the  Empress  Anne,  the  niece  of 
Peter  the  Great,  and  wite  of  the  Duke 
of  Holstein.  All  her  acts,  however, 
were  the  consequences  of  the  influence 
exercised  over  her  by  Biron  ;  but  her 
reiffn  was  marked  by  her  intrigues  in 
Pomnd,  her  successful  wars  against 
Turkey  and  Tartary,  and  her  unjusti- 
fiable invasion  of  the  Crimea.  Anne 
WA9  as  much  troubled  about  the  im- 


perial Bucce«sion  as  our  own  Elizabeth 
was  touching  the  heirship  to  the  crown 
of  England.  At  length  her  eyes  fell, 
most  unfortunately  for  the  object 
looked  at,  upon  the  infiint  son  of  the 
Princess  Anne  and  the  Prince  Anthony 
Ulric  of  Brunswick,  brother  of  the 
reigning  Duke*  The  infant  m  ques- 
tion was  at  the  time  but  a  few  weeka 
old  ;  and  when,  in  1740,  he  became 
Czar  of  all  the  Russias,ouly  two  months 
rested  on  the  young  brow  selected  to 
wear  a  crown,  wbicli  proved  to  him  to 
be  the  most  e^tquisite  instrument  of 
torture  that  ever  wrung  anguish  from 
the  frame  and  very  soul  of  man,. 

Ivan  in*  ranks  as  the  most  unfor- 
tunate, iind  the  most  undeservedly 
unfortunate,  of  the  Muscovite  Czars. 
He  succeeded  to  the  imperial  throne 
by  right  of  nomination  on  the  part  of 
the  Empress  Anne.  His  mother  was 
appointed  Regent  over  him.  She  had 
ft  bosom  friend  in  Elizabeth,  the 
youngest  daughter  of  the  Czar  Peter, 
and  this  bosom  friend  was  incessantly 
occupied  in  plots  to  overthrow  the 
Regent  whom  she  |>rofessed  to  love. 
The  latter  wns  repeatedly  warned  of 
the  danger  which  menaced  herself  and 
soUt  but  she  frankly  communicated 
these  warnings  to  Eli^abeth^  and  in  the 
tears,  oaths,  and  protestations  of  that 
very  strongly  professing  lady,  she  dis- 
cerned nothing  but  the  virtuous  elo- 
quence of  much  injured  loyalty.  8 be 
was  awoke  from  her  dream  of  con- 
fidence when  the  physician  Lestocc|» 
on  the  24th  November,  1741,  aller 
presenting  Elizabeth  with  a  card  on 
one  side  of  which  she  was  re  pre* 
sen  ted  crowneff  ami  on  the  other  veiUd, 
and  bidding  the  daughter  of  Peter 
choose  between  a  throne  and  a  convent, 
headed  the  conr^piracy  whichj  in  a  brief 
hour  or  twit,  d eposes  1  the  young  Czar, 
overthrew  the  maternal  llegent,  and 
ende<l  for  ever  the  dynasty  of  Bruns- 
wick in  all  the  Russias. 

The  for  tress  of  Riga  was  the  first  scene 
of  the  imprisonment  of  the  fallen  fa- 
mily, whence,  at  the  end  of  a  year  and 
a  half,  they  were  transferred  to  the 
fortress  of  Dunamunde.  Their  suffer- 
ings were  intense,  and  every  species  of 
cruelty,  short  of  death,  was  uiHicled 
on  them.  They  were  subsequeutlv 
transferred  to  rianienburg,  and  still 
later  to  Choknegori,  near  ArchangeL

IT  has  been  a  custom  in  the  greftt

mar  worship  all  that  could  engage  the 
senses,  and  attract  the  imagination. 
In  accord  with  this  principle,  it  has 
been  tike  practice,  to  fix  upon  spots 
TCmsikable  for  some  peculiar  natural

'oreatii  spoken  of  by  Ciesar  as  ^*  Her- 

aix  ail  vie,"  and  said  to  be  nine  day  a' 

Dumey  in  extent. 

The  founder  of  the  monastery   of 

^Sinaiedlen  was  St  Metnrad,  or  Megin- 

ad,  as  it  h  £ometimea  spclt.^    He  was 

orn  about  the  year  BQ5  in  Sulghen, 

town  of  Suabia;  and   was*  on   hia 

kther*s  aide,  of  the  family  of  Iluhen-

jffts  alao    connected   with   the   uoble

vaa  Countesa  of  Sul^hen.     He  early 

■winced  hia  predilection  for  the  mo- 

rpaatic  life,  and  entered  into  the  order 

j  of  Benedictines  at  Reichenau.     Hence 

I  lie   was  removed   by  ids  superior   to 

iBoUinghen,   a    small    monn^tery   de- 

loendent  upon  RcMchenau,   situate  at 

Iwe  side  of  the  Lake  of  Zurich.     Here 

Ike  instructed   bl^  disci plcji  with  umeh 

l^iligence ;  but  hi:^  heart  yearned  for  a 

etirement  more  absolute,  and  a  life 

l^f  complete  contemplation.     Looking 

lout  from  the  window  of  his  cell,  he 

Jobserved  the  dark  and  gloomy  for  eat  in

one  day  he  eroded  tike  like  with  Im 
sdiolars*  le&ving  them  by  ita  sda, 
amiistDg  ihemaeiVes  with  fiahii^;  Im^ 
alone,  aaoended  the  summit  of  IlitHtut 
£t»elt  which  had  never  l»efore  been 
neoooipliiliod  by  the  woodcuitera,  and 
wlu»  repffcacatod  to  hiin  the  ffreal 
dsnger  to  which  he  would  be  subject 
by  such  an  attempt.  Aller  having 
well  e:Kaauned  the  to^  of  this  barren 
mountain,  and  findins  it  esuecly  tuited 
to  bia  purpoie,  he  deecended  with  a 
joyful  bmn,  and  went  to  the  village 
of  Altendorfi  where  he  lodged  at  the 
honae  of  a  widow. 

This  lady  was  of  a  pioui  and  cha- 
ritable character,  smif  St,  Bleinrad 
therefore  made  her  his  confident  in 
the  project  he  had  in  view,  to  retire 
entimy  fi^m  the  world,  ami  to  fix  hia 
abode  m  the  desert  place  he  had  just 
visited.  And  ihia  was  necessary,  aa 
the  Saint  required  some  one  to  attend 
to  his  worldly  wants, — the  celestial 
alone  occupied  his  Uioughts.  Having 
obtained  the  lady *» consent,  and  a  pro* 
mise  of  »ecreay,  nothing  remained  but 
the  consent  of  hia  abbot,  Erlebald, 
which  he  at  length  obtained  ;  and  in 
the  year  ft32,  und  in  the  twenty-fifth 
of  his  age,  Meinrad  left  the  monastio 
cell  at  Uollinghen  for  the  gloomy  woods 
of  Mount  Etzel.  Hero  he  constructed 
a  hut  of  the  trunks  and  branches  of 
ttees,  woven  totrether,  and  the  widow 
of  Altendorf,  faithful  to  her  promise, 
not  only  sustained  him  with  food,  but, 
in  process  of  time,  caused  a  little  cull, 
with  a  chapel,  to  be  erected  for  him  on 
the  mount. 

But  the  news  of  his  sanctity  drew 
towards  him  a  concourse  of  admirers, 
so  much  ao^  that  he  contemplated  to 
fly  yet  further  into  the  recesses  of  the 
forest*  He  took  occasion  of  the  visit 
of  some  frietid^^  to  seek  a  more  iiuitaUe 
spot,  and  having  led  theoi  tu  the  little 
river  Sila,  where  they  engnged  them* 
uelvca  in  ftahini^s  whilst  at  their  aport,  he 
withdrew,  and  penetrated  the  thickest 
of  the  woods.  Ily  a  fortunate  chance 
he  came  to  a  little  plain,  surrounded 
and  enclosed  by  barren  mountains, 
whose  sides  were  shadetl  by  lofty  pines,

bad  passed  seven  lon^  years,  and»  taking 
with  him  bis  worldly  goodn,  cousisting 
of  a  uiisaul,  tbe  Rule  of  St.  Benedict, 
the  works  of  John  Cassian*  and  some 
homilieaj  came  to  his  new  abodt^.  This 
was  the  place  where  afterwards  ai*os6 
the  famouK  monastery  of  Einaiedlen, 
then  called  "  Heremuin,"  or  the  Desert. 
He  did  Dot  want  for  friends  in  hh 
new  dwelling.  The  most  distinguished 
was  t^he  Princess  Hildegard,  daughter 
of  the  Emperor  Lodowick  the  Pious, 
and  abbess  <if  the  convent  of  Frauen- 
munster.  She  built  bim  a  cell,  and  a 
chapel,  which  Meinrad  dedicated  to 
the  Virgin  ^fary,  and  placed  in  it  a 
statue  of  the  Virgin,  l>eforG  which  ho 
kept  a  lamp  continually  burning  He 
again  renewed  his  fasts  and  vigib, 
though  often  tempted  of  the  Prince 
of  Darkness,  who  troubled  hiui  with 
dismal  groanings  in  the  forestj  un- 
natural shades  which  veiled  the  sun, 
and  other  threatening  signs*  But  in 
vain,  for  the  saint  was  comforted  by 
angels,  who  constrained  the  rebellious 
spirits  to  take  flight.  Thus  he  lived 
twenty-six  jear«.  when  he  met  his 
martyrdom  at  the  bands  of  two  assas- 
sins. These  niiscreantii  came  to  a  vil- 
lage  on  the  lake  of  Zurich,  to  learn  the 
road,  and  by  night  endeavoured  to 
reach  the  dwelling  of  Mcinrad ;  but, 
having  wandered  about  in  the  thickets 
and  bushes,  it  was  d.iy-break  before  they 
arrived  at  hia  cell.  Some  itows,  that 
the  anchoret  fed  in  this  solitude,  saw 
them  comint^,  and  raised  loud  cries, 
which  echoed  through  the  woodi?  anil 
mountains.  The  saml  knew  that  his 
murderers  were  nigh ;  be  had  just 
finished  mass,  and  commended  himself 
to  the  saints,  when  he  opened  the  door, 
and,  saluting  ihcnj,  iuvjted  them  into 
his  cell  They  entered,  but  iJpecdily 
came  out,  keeping  behind  the  saint, 
who  0 tiered  them  bread  and  wine,  told 
them  he  knew  they  were  goin^  to  kill 
him,  and  requestei!  that  atler  his  death 
they  would  place  a  candle  at  his  head 
and  feett  which  he  had  for  that  pur* 
pose  provided.  One,  numed  Ftichaid, 
then  ueld  him,  whilst  the  other,  Peter 
by  name,  beat  hinj  with  a  knotted  staff; 
finally,  he  was  strucrk  down  by  a  heavy 
blow  on  the  head^  and  then  strangled. 


This  event  took  place  about  the  yei\r 
860. 

The  murderers  were,  however,  dis- 
coveret],  and  contessed  their  crime; 
and,  by  order  of  Count  Adelbert,  im- 
perial prefect  at  Zurich,  were  burnt 
alive,  and  their  lishes  thrown  into  the 
river  Liniat.  But  the  body  of  the  aaint 
was  taken  to  the  monastery  of  Beiche- 
nau  with  great  honours,  where  it  re- 
mained until  103J),  when  it  was  Qgaiti 
brought  biiuk  to  Einsiedlen,  and  Mein* 
rad  enrolled  among  the  saints. 

The  cell  and  chapel  remamed  for 
flome  years  deserted,  allowed  to  ffo 
to  ruin,  and  was  overrun  with  weecU 
and  brambles,  when  in  906  St.  Henno, 
of  the  stock  of  the  princes  of  Burgundy, 
became  enamoui*ed  of  the  ascetic  life, 
and  desirous  of  emulating  the  fame  of 
the  deceased  Jleinrad.  Accordingly, 
he  came  to  the  deserted  place,  restx>red 
the  chapel,  and  made  adtlitional  habita- 
tions to  the  orin^inalcell ;  and,  by  the  con- 
sent of  the  lord  of  the  domain,  the  Count 
of  Kappersvil,  part  of  the  plain  was 
cleareu,and  the  neiglibouring  mouotatti 
brought  under  culture.  Moreover,  he 
invited  friends  of  like  dls  position  to  come 
;ind  live  there,  Griidually ,  by  numerous 
bequests  and  privileges,  the  cells  in- 
creased in  number,  riches,  and  inha- 
bitants. Bcnuo,  however,  at\er  livi 
there  nineteen  years,  was  elected  bisi 
of  Metz,  in  Lorraine,  Here  troubl 
awaited  him.  Fanatical  tumults  aroie 
against  bim,  for  rcproTing  with 
muL-h  zeat  the  dissoluteness  of  the 
people.  He  was  thrown  into  prison, 
and  loaded  with  chains ;  and  with  cruel 
barbarity  deprived  of  his  eyes,  amongst 
other  gro5s  inflignities.  It  is  easy  to 
imagine  that  he  sighed  for  the  solitude 
of  his  beloved  ICinaiedlen ;  and  after 
resigning  his  epi.scopul  dignity  at  the 
council  of  Duisburg,  he,  with  joy, 
caused  hinii«<.If'  to  be  conducted  back 
to  t he  des  c r  t .  11  ere  he  w i\s  soon  joined 
by  St.  Elicrard,  of  the  family  of  the 
Counts  of  Fran  con  ill,  who  gave  all  hia 
wealth  to  the  use  of  the  rising  nionas' 
tery.  Tt  was  now  contemplated  by  the 
iiolitaiies  to  erect  a  large  church,  and 
cloister,  in  Imnour  of  the  Virgin  Mary, 
St.  l^Iauricc,  and  the  Martyrs  of  ihe 
Theban  legion  :  and  the  brother  of  St. 
Eberard  bought  the  site  and  the  whole 
demesne  of  the  Counts  of  RappersviK 
and  gave  it  to  the  hermits.  Many

bishop  of  Constance,  Uldaric  bi^p 
of  Angibarg  was  invited^  together 
with  many  princes  and  nobles^  at- 
tracted not  leas  by  the  sanctity  of  Uie 
plaee^  than  by  their  coosangumity  to 
Ebermrd,  and  other  monks.  This  con-

more  than  anything  el^  to  raise  the 
{kme  of  the  place,  to  one  of  the  most 
celebrated  of  the  Christian  shrinea* 

Conrad*  the  bL^hop  of  Constance,

night to  praj  I  and  to  make  his  prayers

consecration  being  thns  delayed,  the 
peojile  at  length  began  to  be  im- 
patient :  Conrad  tried  to  delay  the  ce- 
remony, by  stating  he  wiahed  to  await 
other  si^n5 ;  but,  it  being  represented 
to  him  tnat  noon  being  near  it  was  too 
late  to  defer  it,  he  related  to  the  pre- 
lates his  vision^  and  gave  it  hia  opinion 
that  the  chapel  was  already  conse- 
crated. But,  however,  some  hesitating 
to  accept  this  view,  and  ikinking  it 
might  be  the  bishop*s  dream,  occa- 
sioned by  the  (atigue  of  long  praying, 
it  WHS  thought  proper  to  proceed  to 
the  ceremony,  on  account  of  the  in- 
creasing impatience  of  the  people*  Ac- 
cordingly they  began  with  the  chapel; 
when,  wonderful  to  say,  a  loud  voice 
was  heard,  three  times  repeating  these 
words:  **  Desist, desist,  U  brother!  the 
chapel  is  already  divinely  consecrated." 
At  this  prodigy,  the  people  were  seized 
with  a  pious  horror,  and  on  do  account 
would  permit  the  bishop  to  proceed 
with  the  ceremony*  Then  Conrad, 
with  the  rest  of  the  assembly,  conse- 
crated the  churcht  which  surrounded  it, 
as  requested  by  Ebcrard,  to  the  honour 
of  St.  Maurice  and  his  companions. 
Ever  since  this  time  the  anniversary, 
on  the  fourteenth  of  September,  has 
been  a  grand  festival;  and  if  it  happens 
to  fall  on  a  Sunday,  it  is  ejtlended  to

atanoe  occurred  in  1029,  through  the 
carele9ine99  of  a  servitor  of  the  abb^y ; 
everything  was  destroyed  but  the  cha[>el 
of  Our  Lady,  which  in  this,  as  in  all 
other  instance^  escaped  intact.  In 
rj26  a  vtry  destructive  conflagration 
again  took  place,  by  which  a  great 

Sortion  of  the  rich  offerings,  &c.  were 
eetroyed,  toother  with  valuable  char- 
ters accorded  by  difTerent  princes  and 
prates.  The  third  was  in  HGd,  when 
mooastery  and  church  were  reduced  to 
asheSf  the  walb  alone  remaining ;  but 
the  chapel  sustained  not  the  least  hurt, 
although  it  is  said  to  have  hi^l  ft 
roof  of  wood :  however,  the  abbot, 
with  the  consent  of  the  bishop  of 
Constance,  had  the  walls  and  roof 
made  of  stonCi  which  was  completed 
in  1466,  the  cost  being  def  ray  ed  by 
eleemosynary  gifts  from  noble  and  dis- 
tinguished persons.  Another  lire  hap- 
pened in  1509,  scarcely  less  destruc- 
tive. It  bmn  at  the  house  of  a  baker, 
and  the  immes,  having  ravaged  the 
town  of  Einsicdilen,  at  length  reached 
the  monastery.  Conrad,  the  abbot, 
ran  to  the  holy  chapel,  and  there  in- 
voked the  powerful  aid  of  the  Virgin 
Mary.  But  the  flames  ?t-opped  not, 
and  were  on  the  point  of  attacking 
the  chapel  itself,  when  attain  Conrad 
rushed  mto  the  place  and  beeouf^ht 
heavenly  aid,  **  jjtdivufu»ly  remimlu^ 
the  Virgin^^  says  one  writer,  ♦»  that  the 
whole  monastery  belonged  to  her'*  In 
a  moment  the  fury  of  the  fire  abated, 
and  the  church,  abbatiul  palace,  and 
many  of  the  monks*  cellst  sod  houses  of 
the  chaplains,  were  preserver!  unhurt. 
The  fiAh  fire  belongs  to  the  history  of 
heresy,  which  now  began  to  show  its 
head,  in  the  very  fVont  of  this  ancient 
retreat  of  orthodoxy,  and  from  which 
the  very  tlureahold  of  the  chapel  itself 
was  not  free. 

It  appears,  that  Conrad,  although 
h0  taaaoae  much  for  the  abbey^  was 


Mt  ^  nam  lor  troubled  times.  The 
warning  voice  of  reform  did  not  mak 
him  seuf^ible  of  the  evil  of  non-pe«i«  j 
denc4j;  he  was  fond  of  his  eaai 
like  the  monk  of  Chaucer,  cared  noil 
for  the  text  which  says  **  that  hunleril 
ben  not  holic  men.**  He  appointed  ftj 
vicar,  one  Barnabas,  of  the  Counl«  « 
Saxe,and  generally  lived  at  St.  Gerolt|»  J 
wliere  he  pawed  his  time  in  the  pica*  r 
Miref  of  the  cfaace,  and  came  but] 
now  and  then  to  the  abbey.  At  tbo4 
death  of  Barnabas,  in  1501,  he  ap«f 
pointed  as  his  successor,  Theobald,  A I 
rery  young  monk,  sprung  from  th#j 
Baron's  of  Geruldseck ;  and,  finding  hi|| 
inexperience  not  likely  to  be  prodaa*! 
tive  of  good,  he  gave  him  a  ooadjutofv] 
named  John  Ort,  a  secular,  and  hiiJ 
secretary.  IJow  this  Theobald  ap*j 
pointed  as  a  helper  to  John  Oechlui,  I 
the  parish-priest  of  Einsiedlen,  a  very  j 
infirm  man,  Ulric  Zwingle,  whot(|| 
name  is  so  indissolubly  associated  wttT 
the  early  history  of  the  Reformation. 
This  active  spirit  soon  made  hims  ' 
conspicuous.  United  with  him 
friendship,  were  two  chaplains,  nan 
Leo  and  Luke,  together  with  Theobal4i| 
who  ruled  the  monastery  as  vicar. 
was  about  the  year  1518,  that,  at  th 
annual  (bast  of  the  Dedication,  Zwtnglft| 
preached  to  the  people  against  indul* 
gences,  pilgrimages,  the  worship  ot  th 
virgin,  and  the  other  points  of  dii 
pute.  And  such  was  his  succets,  f' 
those  who  came  with  giAs  to  the  sbrin 
returned  home  without  prcsentin 
them,  and  vowed  to  make  no  more  pif 

fr images.  Even  the  little  town  of 
ansiedlen  itself,  although  in  a  great 
measure  dependent  on  the  influx  of 
pious  travellers,  fell  away  from  the  old 
faith,  and  became  an  adiierent  of  the 
new  doctrines.  At  length,  Conrad 
heard  of  these  affairs,  and  with  alarmed 
iteal  set  aliout  repressing  the  evil  which 
had  become  to  threatening.  He  ap* 
plied  to  tfce  ienatfira  of  the  canton 
Swit«,  protectors  of  the  monastery,  to 
repress  Zwiugle  and  his  followers  by 
force. 

Zwingte  fied  to  Zurich,  and  became 
preacher  in  the  mother  ohurch.  Hit, 
Iriends  the  chaplains  followed  him,  t 
Conrad  endeavoured  to  strengthen  1 
position  by  obtaining  a  confirmation  of 
privileges  from  Leo  X,  and  Uie  Km*

ibe  desertion^  tUiit  no  monk  reuininetl 
in  the  cloister  but  the  abbot  hini^df.

long  rale  of  forty -iivc  years  ^  one  was 
Theobald,  and  the  other  was  in  prison 
for  some  crime.  Among  other  reasons, 
besides  the  spread  of  the  new  opinions, 
for  this  singular  defection,  were  the 
wars  which  the  Swiss  carried  on  f(>r 
liberty  nji^ainst  the  Emfjcror  Ma^tiini- 
lian  I.  The  old  abbot  endeavoured  to 
recall  to  him  the  fugitive  Theobald, 
but  with  no  avail ;  and  at  length  he 
resigned  his  abbacy  into  the  hands  oi' 
Lo<K>wiok  Blarer,  monk  of  St*  Gall, 
20th  July,  1626,  and  died  on  the  27th 
of  (X^tober  in  the  same  year* 

Of  the  Swiss  cantons,  five  adhered 
to  the   Church  of  Home,— Lucerne, 

tilE,  Unterwald,  Zug,  and  Uri;  and 
titrugglc  of  opinions  soon  became 
one  of  rSS  and  bloody  conllict.  The 
Bcmfffk  cantons  look  up  arms,  putting 
forward  a  manifesto  m  which  their 
reasons  for  so  doing  were  declared* 
They  appoinK-d  eignt*:eii  widows  of 
the  five  cantons  to  pray  night  and  day 
in  the  chajjel  of  Our  Lady  of  Kinsied- 
len,  taking  that  oiliec  by  six  at  a  time 
alternately,  whil:«t  numerous  proceiJ* 
sions  were  matle  to  ask  aid  of  the 
Vu^giji  herself.  Tlic  day  of  battle  wa» 
eome.  The  heretical  army,  so  s»ay  the 
Bomanist  historiana,  numbered  '20,000 
men,  that  of  "  the  CathoHca"  but  8,000. 
An  assault  was  made  by  a  column  of 
tbeir  army,  which  proved  singularly 
for  the  heretics  were  de- 
,  with  a  slaughter  of  2,000;  and 
these  were  many  senators  and 
of  Zurich,  many  priests  who 
had  left  the  faith  of  Rome,  and  some  of 
I  had  held  dignities,  but  one  of  the 
mosi  noted  was  Theobald  of  Gerold- 
seck*  2£  w  ingle  himself  was  in  the  fight ; 
he  did  not  cease  to  encourage  his  party, 
and  behaved  with  a  coun^e  worthy  of 
his  energetic  spirit*  He>  also,  the  great 
leader  of  the  cause,  was  mortally 
wounded.  Fearful  of  recognition,  or 
in  his  dying  agony,  he  turned  his  face 
to  the  ground ,-  but  was  recognised  by 
a  soldier  of  the  enemy,  who  urged  him 
to  eon^BM*  Zw ingle,  unable  to  speak, 
siiook  his  head  in  refusal.  "  At  least 
invoke  the  aid  of  Gt>d  and  the  Virgii^" 
said  the  soldiert    He  waved  him  away, 


when  the  incensed  warrior  immediately 
struck  him  with  a  halbert^  and  so  killed 
him  outright.  His  lifeless  body  re- 
ceived those  barbarous  insults,  which 
legislators  have  awarded  to  traitors; 
it  was  cut  into  four  quarters  by  the 
executioner  of  Lucerne,  and  was  aller- 
words  burnt,  and  the  ashes  scattered 
to  the  winds  of  heaven* 

The  Reformers  seem  to  have  been 
more  successful  io  debate  than  in  battle^ 
for  in  no  less  than  five  actions  they 
were  signally  defeated,  and,  in  couie' 
tjuencc,  the  ^ve  Catholic  cantons  sue- 
ceedetl  in  cnining  over  to  their  side 
Appenzel,  Glarus,  Soleure,  and  Fri- 
burg.  The  liomaoist  writers  magnify 
the  numbers  of  the  enemy  to  an  in- 
credible degree,  as  if  to  show  the  value 
of  the  protection  of  Our  Lad]|r  of  Ein* 
siedlen,  to  whom  the  victories  were 
ascribed. 

An  army  assembled  together  from 
some  of  the  chief  towns  of  the  Re* 
formed  party,  to  avenge  the  death  of 
Zwingle ;  and  on  tlm  night  of  the  24th 
of  October,  1531,  a  detachment  ad- 
vauceil,  without  beat  of  drum,  and 
posted  thomselves  on  Mount  (^abel,  a 
few  leagues  from  Einsiedlen*  They 
were  discovered  by  some  scouts  of  the 
opponents,  and  suddenly  attacked  and 
nut  to  flight  by  a  small  body  of  the 
latter.  And,  it  la  said,  tlie  Virgin  her- 
self was  seen,  clothed  in  a  wliite  and 
sliininp  cloud,  preceding  the  array  of 
her  faithful  servants.  Other  victories 
in  favour  of  tlie  orthodox,  and  against 
the  heretics,  are  recorded  with  much 
unction  by  the  former.  It  is  not  neces- 
sary to  make  mention  of  them  parti* 
culariy ;  but  they  certainly  had  some 
iniluence  on  the  fortunes  oi  the  monas- 
tery, as  some  of  the  lands  about  the  lake 
of  Zurich  were  restored  to  it.  Lodo- 
wick,  the  abbot,  was  indefatigable  in  bi« 
attempts  to  raise  the  abbey  from  its 
fallen  stale ;  and  at  his  death,  in  1544, 
left  four  young  monks  to  carry  out  his 
views. 

The  last  Are  was  in  157 7^  and  ia  iaid 
to  have  been  at  the  instigation  of  a 
heretic,  8toeter  by  name,  who  induced 
two  vagabonds  to  throw  combustibles 
into  the  houses,  and  with  such  success, 
that  the  town,  and  all  the  conventual 
buildings*  were  destroyed — the  church, 
chapel,  and  relics  being  saved.  The 
bells,  ten  in  number,  were  tnelted, 
except  that  which  called  tlifi  fiythfat

i  city  of  Zurich  a«nt,  in  a  most  liberal 

[  manner,  two  liundrcd  mcaaurcs  of  com 

to  the  monastery. 

It  is  not  Beedful  to  enter  into  the 
IMirticulara  of  the  restoration  of  tlie 
mined  buildings.  But  it  was  not  alone 
the  material  portiona  of  the  nhhey  that 
were  renewed^  for^  by  the  means  of 
,  great  displays  of  piety  on  the  part  of 
I  eminent  [wraons  towards  the  shrine  of 
Our  Lady,  it  again  rose  both  in  cele- 
brity and  riches.     It  would  be  tedious 
,  to  enumerate  the  long  list  of  bencfac- 
f  tioris  by  kings  and  princes,  lords  spiritual 
I  and  temporal :  a  few  of  those  of  hia- 
.  torlral  importance  must  suffice  for  our 
I  pre  scribed  limits.

Iliad  besi^ed  that  place  with  a  Inrgc

'  iper  of  eighty  pounds'  weight,  a  heart 
[  gold,  three  hundred  crowns  of  gold, 
two  large  plutes  of  silver,  on  which  were 
[represented  the  retreat  of  the  Turks 
and  the  city  of  Waradin,  and  with 
[these  were  the  standardji  taken  from

Poland,  he  sent  his  diadem  of  massive 
I  gold,  enriched  with  precioufl  stones, 
» which  was  for  a  long  time  worn  by  the 
miraculous    image   at   the   principal 


In  the  y«ar  1088,  Maria  Theresa, 
Countesfn  of  Furstenberg,  came  to 
Einsiedlcn  with  a  large  and  illustrious 
cortt^ge.  But  that  wTiich  added  pecu- 
liar interest  to  this  visit,  was,  thot  a 
young  Turkish  lady,  taken  prisoner  in 
the  sacking  of  the  town  of  NeuheiscI, 
accompanied  her.  She  waa  baptiaed 
by  the  abbot,  and  the  Frinceso,  who 
bad  been  instrumental  in  her  conver- 
sion,  stood  as  her  sponsor  at  the  font. 

During  the  Thirty  Year^'  War,  when 
the  Swe<Jes  penetrated  to  the  frontiers 
of  Switzerland^  it  is  related,  that  on 
several  occasions,  special  devotions  to 
Our  Lady  of  Eineicdlcn  were  succeeded 
by  immediat42  aid.  Uberling,  on  tlic 
Lake  of  Constat»ce,  was  besieged  in 
1<]'V2  by  the  Swedes  under  the  Doke 
of  Sax  e- Wei  mar.  During  the  siege 
the  citizen 9  unanimously  invoked  tfio 
assistance  of  the  Virgin,  and  made  a 
vow  of  a  solemn  procession  to  the  sacred 
sbrine.  f)n  the  20  th  of  April,  about 
nine  or  ten  in  the  morning,  the  Mother 
of  God  appeared  in  tlie  air  over  the 
city,  to  give  comfort  to  the  besieged ; 
and  the  etieray  finally  withdrew,  trei- 
burg,  in  the  Black  Forest,  also  received 

I)rotection  from  a  simdar  attempt. 
leguebach,  a  monastery  in  Suabia, 
also  tells  a  like  story,  and  many  ex- 
amplcii  are  related  of  active  help  being 
given  to  the  Catholic  Swiss  againit 
Uieir  Protestant  countrymen.  But  I 
must  regain  from  further  details  on 
that  head.  I  shall  also  pass  over  the 
little  incidents  which  chequered  the 
fortunes  of  Kinsiedlen  from  the  close 
of  the  seventeenth  century  to  that  of 
the  eighteenth,  when  a  cry  more  tcrri- 
ble  than  that  of  reform  reached  the 
silent  seclusion  of  Mcinrad,  The 
French  array  of  the  Kevolution^  on  ita 
invasion  of  Switzerland,  violated  the 
tombs,  broke  the  relics  of  the  saintSi 
and  mixed  their  bones  with  others  so 
as  not  to  be  distinguished.  But  the 
venerable  image,  with  Its  rteh  adorn- 
ings,  had  been  removed  and  hidden, 
and  that  which  Schauenburg  sent  to 
Paris  was  but  a  counterfeit. 

The  image  itself  is  black,  and  about 
3  feet  6  inches  in  height  (scarcely  anv 
of  i!ie  miracukius  images  vary  much 
in  this  respect).  It  is  of  wood,  and 
holds  a  sceptre  in  the  right  hand,  and

MOORE  AND  THE  RIGHT  HONOURABLE  JOHN  WILSON  CROKER. 

Correspondence  between  the  Right  Hon.  J,  W.  Croker  and  the  Right  Hon.  Lord  John 
Ruuelli  on  some  passages  of  Moore's  Diary.  With  a  Pastscnpt  by  Mr.  Croker, 
explftoatory  of  Mr,  Moore's  AoquainCancc  aad  Correspondence  with  him.    8vo, 


THE  publication  of  Moore's  Diary 
produced  the  "  Correspondence "  be- 
tween the  Right  Hon.  Jolm  Wilson 
Croker  and  Lord  John  Kussell,  with 
which  our  readers  are  familiar.  This 
Correspondence  has  reappeared  with 
a  Postscript  sa  sigDificaut  as  a  lady's, 
and  twice  as  long.  We  do  not  thmk 
Mr,  Croker  has  any  reason  to  congra- 
tulate himself  on  its  publiciition.  The 
^  following  is  what  we  learn  from  it. 

At  the  close  of  the  last  century  there 
flrere  two  students  at  Trinity  College, 
I  Dublin,  who  appear  to  have  been 
united  in  the  bonds  of  friendship.  One 
of  them,  Moore^  early  in  the  present 
century,  published  a  translation  of 
Aniicreon :  his  friend,  Mr*  Croker,  sub- 
scribed for  two  copies.  "  I  was,"  he 
says  modestly,  *'  with  the  exception  of 

one Brown,  Esq.  the  ontt/  person, 

English  or  Irish,  who  subscribed  for 
two  copies-"  Consequently,  he  was  a 
more  liberal  Maecenas  than  any  other 
of  the  friends  of  the  bard,  save  that  il- 
lustriously obscure  person  Mr.  Brown. 
The  67th  Ole  of  Anacreou  in  Moore*8 
edition  was  made  up  by  him  out  of 
three  or  four  different  fragments.  Mr. 
Croker  had  done  the  same  previously 
with  some  remains  of  Sapphoi  AlcieuSf 
&c.  Moore  wrote  to  bin  friend  to  in- 
form htm  that  he  had  followed  this 
example,  and  in  the  Anacreon  he  con- 
fessed that  he  had  ttlcen  the  idea  of 
welding  the  fragments  into  one  ode 
from  a  "  literary  friend,"  This  was 
more  than  half  a  century  ago;   but 


Mr.  Croker  never,  as  it  would  seem, 
forgave  the  offence,  and  at  the  age  of 
74  ne  rakes  up  the  matter  for  the  pur- 
pose of  injurmg  Moore  in  the  public 
esteem.  The  Bard  had  not  helped  him 
tn  immortality  by  printing  his  name 
(a  name  then  utterly  unknown  to  the 
world)  in  the  notes  to  Anacreon,  and 
tlie  wrath  of  the  youth  survives  in  the 
breast  of  the  old  man* 

At  a  later  period,  when  Moore  wad 
labouring  with  weakness  in  the  eyes, 
Mr.  Croker  served  him  as  an  amanu- 
ensis, by  writing  to  the  poet  s  dictation 
"  one,  or  I  rather  think  two,  of  Moore's 
prettiest  songs."  The  minstrel  did  not 
make  public  mention  of  the  fact,  but 
his  ancient  friend  now  does  it  for  him, 
as  if  to  prove  how  intense  was  the 
poet's  ingratitude.  A  coolness  appears 
to  have  ensued;  and  it  was  not  till 
1800,  on  some  matters  connectetl  with 
Moore's  Bermuda  appointment,  that 
the  two  collegians  were  reconciled. 
"I  was  a  fool  to  quarrel  with  you," 
says  Moore  candidly ;  "  and  I  assure 
you  tliat  it  is  with  all  my  heart  and  soul 
that  I  enter  into  the  renewal  of  our 
friendship." 

At  this  timo  the  poet  was  anxious 
to  surrender  his  appointment,  if  he 
could  do  so  without  pecuniary  sacrifice. 
He  applied  to  Mr.  Croker,  then  at  the 
Admiralty,  and  ai^ked  "  Would  it  be 
possible,  do  you  think,  to  procure  the 
oiiice  for  any  unobjectionable  person 
who  should  make  it  worth  my  white  to 
resign  in  bis  favour?"    Mr.  Crokcir

but  pvmtTv&X  tills  Ielt«r  of  bis  friend, 
but  ho  ha-^  not  kept  Anj  copj  of  his 
own  answer — which,  if  it  be  not  strange, 
is  certainly  unft>rtuniite.  Uoi^irer» 
h%  makes  u()  for  ihc  ileticiencj  bj  de- 
wmneiog  the  propositi  as  indecent  ^*  to 
•  pmm  in  mv  (Mr,  Croker^s)  officlnl 
situatian,"  ffc  adds,  or  intimates 
rather,  that  he  evaded  it  deh'cntcly. 
Moore,  who  had  beon  appointed  by  a 
mliustry  indecent  and  indeiicatc  enough 
to  give  An  office  of  very  great  import- 
ance to  a  man  entirely  unqualified  for 
it,  does  not  appear  to  have  thought 
that  Mr.  Croker's  sense  of  propriety 
could  liave  been  seriously  rullled ;  fuirl 
he  accordingly  asks  point-blank,  ui  u 
second  letter,  whether,  if  he  eouhl  find 
a  purchaser  of  the  appointment,  Mi\ 
Croker  had  interest  enough  to  get 
luin  named  a^  Moore's  suceesaor.  "  I 
know,"  says  Moore,  "this  rounds  very 
like  one  of  those  transactions  which  wo 
patriots  cry  out  against  aa  unworthy 
of  the  crent  Russell  and  Algernon 
Sidney, —and  so  undoubtedly  at  was ; 
buii  as  we  have  said,  Moore  having  been 
noiaitiatod  to  the  oflice  by  a  minister 
wha  knew  his  unfitness,  he  thought 
there  was  not  much  harm  done  if  ho 
oonld  sell  it  to  an  **  wnohjeciumahU 
person/'  Mr.  OnJket  has  aailn  pm- 
served  his  frien«l*i  letter,  and  he  ilaes 
tt  now  to  blast  that  fricnd^s  charader 
with.  His  own  answ<ar  to  It  is  not 
IbHiHNmiing :  **  I  dare  say,"  he  writes, 
'^  I  WM  unwilling  that  even  a  copyist 
should  see  such  a  proposition,  —so 
chary  was  he  of  his  fricnd*a  honour  I 
but  he  prfxerrcfl  the  letter  containing 
the  proposition  of  1809,  and  treats  the 
public  with  it  in  1 H54, 

The  answer,  whatever  it  may  have 
been,  does  not  soem  to  have  offended 
Moorei  and  occttiooal  letters  paaead 
between  the  friends  from  this  pcnod 
down  at  least  to  ISS3,  Mr.  Croker 
hanJIy  knows,  (the  unmethodical  man!) 
how  he  bus  accidentaUy  preserved  them, 
or  found  them  among  his  chaos  of 
papers  I  but  there  they  are,  down  io 
the  most  hi  significant  notes,  all  pro- 
duced for  Mr.  Croker's  especial  pur- 
pose. ^'  On  the  22nd  May,  1 8 1 2,'*  says 
the  eat -Secretary,  '*  Moore  announced 
to  me  his  suduen  appearance  to  his 
friendu  in  the  new  cliaractcr  of  a  hus- 
''«nd  and  a  father ;"  and  Mr.  Croker 
kei  this  delicate  comment  on  his 
nd>  teat .' — "  The  approximation 


of  characters,  usually  sepoimted  by  a 
longer  interval,  I  remember 
much  surprised  roe."  Is  this  com*' 
uient  mode  to  injure  Moore  or  Io  an* 
noy  his  widow  Y  It  is  cortaunly  In  the 
most  execrable  taste ;  but  even  Ma  . 
Croker  adds  that  the  marriage  watf| 
not  kept  concealed  from  Mr. 
and  Lady  Donegal ;  and  thetel 
might  have  foregone  the  luxury  o^  thiM 
sneer. 

The  letters  which  fallow  are  of 
friendly  character,  asserting  tbewriteB^i 
respect  for  the  talents  of  Afr.  Croket^j 
and  acknowledging  the  performance  i 
hh  hands  of  various  Iriendly  offioei^J 
It  does  not  appear,  however,  that  thej  I 
met  at  all  frequently.  The  inierconrie 
seems  mainly  to  have  been  kept  up  by 
correspondence*    Of  this  correspond^  j 
cnce  Mr.  Crt^ker  quotes  all  tbat  he 
thinks  will  establish  his  own  case,  and  < 
damage  Moore.    Not  a  line  of  his  own 
letters  is  given ;  and  of  those  of  Muore'f 
he  says,  *^I  only  wonder  how  even  tksm 
happened  to  be  preserved !  "  To  whM 
we  can  only  say,  ♦*  O*,  Mr,  Rigbiff^ 

Now,  of  course,  in  all  this  the  pnblio  i 
would  have  been  very  Little  interested 
but  for  the  appearance  of  Moore*!  j

I  &e?er  beard  but  one  opinion  eziireifled 
iQin  this  latter  point.    There  was  iioine- 
ribiiig  peculiarly  heartless   in   reiter- 
ating to  the  aoUtary  mourner  that  the 
iflectionate  paaaagea  which  her  husband 
wrote  of  her  in  his  Diary  were  all  moon- 
I  jhioe.    Mr.  Croker  could  at  the  best 
,  kaTe  known  nothing  about  it,  and  need 
notf  in  his  rage  apainst  the  poet,  have 
1  outraged  the  feebngs  of  the  |»oet's  nick 
Ltad  farroiriiig  wife.     But  we  do  more 
^tlmi  iustiee  to  Mr.  Croker  by  thia 
1  temark,  for  he  had  good  rea^na  for 
>  knowing   how    sinoerely   Moore   was 
[  Attached  to  ^^  fieasy,"  seeing  that  be 
^  Kad  the  assurance  under  Moore's  own 
t  band ;  it  runs  as  follows,  in  one  of  the 
I  letters  from  Moore  to  Mr.  Croker,  and 
b  quoted  by  the  latter,  at  page  ^7  of 
'  Ills  pamphlet : — 

I  think  I  have  it  laft  found  out  the  life 
thst  snitB  me*  for  I  never  was  bo  happy. 
I  read  a  great  deal^  aad  write  a  little,  nod

bafore  me  from  morahij  till  ni^bt— which 
aaittples  coautt  ia  a  pure  affectionate  wife^ 
lad  a  Uttls  rosy  pug-nosed  innocent  child. 

Lord  Jdhu,  then,  had  good  reason 
for  asking  Mr»  Croker  if  he  eould  pos- 
sibly think  himself  justified  in  embit- 
tering the  last  years  of  the  widow  of 
Bifooret  aneenng  at  his  dcnneetic  a0ec- 
tions,  and  loaoing  his  memory  with 
reproach  ?  And  what  is  Mr.  Croker's 
reply  ? — that,  in  Am  opinion,  the  article 
in  question  needed  no  jus  till  cation  ; 
that  he  has  fks  much  respect  and  sym- 
pathy for  MrsL  Moore  as  his  lordship; 
and,  we  suppoae  to  show  that  respect 
md  sympathy f  and  his  good  manners 
to  booty  he  sneer ingly  speaka  of  the 
inestimable  lady  in  (|ue9tion  as  Lord 
Jolin^s  "  lalsress hn^  moHm  V*  Mr.  Cro  - 
ker  describes  himself  as  in  his  "  74th 
year,  and  in  a  probably  advanoed  stage 
of  a  mortal  disease,"  but  be  boaatfl  that 
he  is  ^^not  yet  in  his  dotage."  AJasl 
Sir,  there  is  a  ferocity  of  dotage,  and 
it  is  of  thai  you  are  now  suAering. 

The  review  in  which  so  much  of  this 
ferocity  was  manifested,  appears  to 
have  owed  laost  of  ita  ili-feellng  to 


wounded  vanity.  In  the  Diary,  under 
the  date  Oct.  14,  1830,  occurs  the  fol« 
lowing  paesage : 

M«t  — ,  who  walked  about  with  me, 
and  made  me  take  a  family  dinned  with 
him  at  bit  hotel.  /  Aort  not  Htm  mo  mnch 
^f  him  »inc€  W9  u*er0  in  coUegt  iogfthtr, 
and  I  fiad  that  his  vanity  is  even  greater 
than  has  been  reported  to  me«  and  his 
clevemeAs  much  less  than  1  expected.  He 
is,  uudoubtedly,  a  food  partizaa,  a  quick 
skirmisher  of  reviews  and  newspapers,  and 
a  sort  of  serrant-of-oU-work  for  his  em- 
ployers ;  but,  as  to  anything  of  a  higher 
order  of  lalent,  I  am  greatly  min taken  if 
be  bis  the  sMgbtest  claim  to  it. — lij.  156. 

The  public  neither  knew  nor  cared 
who  was  here  portrayed,  but  in  the 
111  Mr.  Croker  appears  to  have 
1  himself,  and  his  complaint 
1^  tiiii  i^Ioore  Bhould  have  written  thus 
of  him  in  a  private  diary,  when  in  his 
letters  the  poet  was  continually  ex- 
pressing respect  for  his  talents.  Mr* 
broker  does  not  take  into  account  that 
^loore,  in  his  letters,  rendered  judg- 
ment chieily  of  wluit  bo  had  read  or 
heai'd;  and  which  judgment  a  few 
hours'  renewed  intercourse  (tMe'd'iSte) 
appears  to  have  modified,  very  much 
to  Mr.  Croker*3  iriortification.  The 
entry  was  no/,  as  ^Ir,  Croker  asserts, 
**  left  for  publication  by  Moore."  The 
poet's  papers  were  bequeathed  to  the 
discretion  of  a  literary  executor,  and 
the  executor,  while  inserting  the  por- 
trait, erased  the  name.  Mr.  Croker 
himself  gives  a  graphical  account  of  the 
meeting  to  which  nis  friend  alludes  : 

In  the  summer  of  1820,  l;i  coasequeDoe 
of  a  deep  and  irreparable  domestic  cala- 
mity, 1  took  Mrs.  Croker  to  make  a  short 
tour  in  France  for  change  of  scene.  It 
happened  that,  walking  one  evening  in  the 
garden  of  fit.  Cloud,  we  met  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Moore  (the  latter  we  neither  of  us  ever 
saw  before  or  since) ;  after  a  few  wordi  of 
very  cordial  greeting  between  Moore  and 
me,  he  iotroduoed  Mrs.  Moore.  A  short 
conversation  ensued,  and  then  each  party 
pursued  Uieir  walk.  We  left  Paris  in  a 
few  days,  and  did  not  rctoro  for  a  fort- 
nighty  when  I  boked  out  for  Moore»  and 
baw  as  much  of  him  as  I  couUl ;  but  Mrs. 
Croker  did  not  make  any  advances — as 
Moore  eridcntly  wished — to  improve  her 
acquaintaace  with  Mrs.  Moore.  Moore 
probabljr  did  not  know,  or  at  least  appro, 
elate,  the  extent  of  my  wife's  aflltction  and 
reluctance  to  cee  ttrangers  (which  wai  the

cAnnot  be  d»sptit<KL  It  h  tliat  in  which 
he  touchin^Iy  says  lliat  the  nearer  a 
man  is  to  the  Jimits  of  life,  the  more 
careful  he  should  he  to  ace  that  his 
reputation  stands  right  In  the  eyos  of 
the  public.  No  doubt  that  this  ia  the 
fact,  and  Mr.  Croker  might  have  taken 
even  higher  grouml  But,  taking  his 
sentiment  at  itn  full  value,  we,  in  all 
sincerity,  and  particularly  because  of 
his  indignation  at  Moore  when  tlic  lat- 
ter wounded  the  delicacy  of  the  Admi- 
ralty Se^?retary  in  relation  to  the  Ber- 
muda nffair,  venture  to  remind  Mr. 
Croker  that  there  is  one  other  matter 
in  which  he  is  concerned,  and  which, 
aa  he  plumea  himself  on  his  delicacy, 
it  behoves  him  to  explain. 

The  matter  to  which  we  are  about 
to  refer  does  not,  it  h  true,  in  any  way 
concern  Moore,  but  it  does  very  nearly 
touch  the  Rtffht  Honourable  John  Wil- 
son Croker.  The  chief  accusation  which 
the  latter  gentleman  brings  against  the 
poet  lA  that  of  having  indecently  and 
indelicately  outraged  the  conscientionn 
acruple.**,  &c.  of  the  then  Secretary  of 
'"^  !  Admiralty,  by  applying  to  bim  for 
aisistance  in  the  siJe  and  disposal  of 
Moore's  '* place"  in  Bermuda.  Tbiis  Id 
the  most  tcrious  charge,  for  all  the 
rest  of  Mr,  Croker's  bill  of  indictment 
sounds  much  more  like  the  mntterings 
of  a  revengeful  school-boy  than  the 
hearty  objections  of  a  candid  man.  The 
letters  Jaid  by  like  charged  pistols,  and 
coming  »u  accidentally  to  hand  when 
wanted — the  bad  spirit  that  is  manifest 
from  the  4^haniiclecr  sort  of  epigraph 
on  the  title-page  down  to  the  "unis,** 
atl  this  is  hardly  worth  observation 
comparoil  with  the  violence  alleged  to 
have  been  committed  by  ^loore  upon 
Mr*  Croker'a  official  delicacy*  N(jw, 
we  will  not  presume  to  hint  a  word 
in  denial  of  such  delicacy  being  Mr* 
Croker^s  especial  distinction, — at  the 
.^arne  time  we  request  attention  to  the 
following  details. 

No  man  was  ever  more  bitterly  de- 
nounced in  the  Quarterly  Review  than 
■  O'Meara,  surgeon  to  Napoleon  at  St. 
Helena.  The  Review  taunted  him  with 
being  a  base  spy  ;  which  appctirs  to 
have  been  true  enough*  But  who  em- 
ployed him?  O^Meara  is  chargcil  in 
the  Review  in  question  (vol.  xjtxviii. 
p.  *237)  with  "*  exposing  to  ail  mankind 
^n  the  conversations  which  had  been  con- 
^B  fided  to  the  ear  of  friendship/*     Very 


likely ;  hut  by  whom  was  he  instigated  ? 
and  to  whom  did  he  look  for  his  re- 
ward ?  We  do  not  pretend  to  answer 
the  question ;  but  we  refer  our  rentiers 
to  Forsyth's  work  on  Sir  Ilwdson  Lowe. 
For  our  own  parts  we  will  hQ  satisfied 
to  quote,  without  comment,  what  we 
iind  in  the  AtheniEum  for  July  2, 1853. 
The  reviewer  of  Forsy th'd  work,  in  that 
periodicab  thus  writes  : — "If  the  facts 
recorded  in  the  work  before  us  be  true, 
it  is  evident  that,  in  the  fii-st  instance, 
O'Meara  had  l>ecn  encouraged  from 
the  Admiralty  to  play  what  many  per- 
sons would  call  die  part  of  a  spy  on 
Napoleon*8  words  and  thoughts.  The 
name  of  Mr.  Wilson  Croker  is  mixed 
up  very  strangely  in  this  business,  and 
before  having  his  counter-statement  it 
would  be  perhaps  hasty  to  pronounce 
on  the  accusations  in  I^lr.  Forsyth^a 
work."  This  was  written  in  July  of 
last  year  ;  and,  if  a  counter-statement 
has  been  nntde,  all  that  we  can  say  is, 
that  we  have  heard  nothing  of  it-  The 
resulta  of  O'JMeara's  **  base  eapionnagc  " 
of  Napoleon  were  conveyeil  to  the 
Admiralty  in  letters  addressed  to  one 
Finlaison.  But,  as  the  Atbemeum  re- 
murks,  "the  cbftracter  of  O'Meara, 
thus  self- tarnished,  is  not  the  question ; 
the  conduct  of  much  higher  persona  tn 
involved.  Who  was  it  that  encouraged 
O'Meara  to  pursue  this  conduct  ?  Let 
the  Admiralty  Clerk  tell : "  and  thereon 
the  Athenajum  makes  the  following 
citation  from  Forayth's  work.  Ftnlaiaon 
writes  to  0*Meara : — 

Your  letters  of  the  1 6th  of  March  and 
the  22rid  April  came  duly  to  band,  and 
furnished  a  real  feast  to  some  very  great 
folks  here.  1  also  received  a  hitter  from 
yon  on  your  first  arrival,  which  was  con- 
sidered very  interesting.  Not  a  line  of 
any  thing  yon  hare  written  to  me  since  you 
sailed  has  been  ever  made  public.  [We 
shonld  state  here  that»  as  Napoleon  read 
the  Engliih  papers,  the  surgeon  was  afraid 
lest  any  of  hia  accoimts  of  the  caged  Hon 
shoMld  meet  the  eye  of  the  captive.]  The 
moment  your  letters  came  they  were  given 
to  Mr.  Croker,  who  considered  them  ex- 
tremely interesting,  and  circulated  copies 
among  the  Cabinet  ministers  ;  and  ho

this  otficia!  delicacy  by  asking  him 
fcir  help  in  selling  t!ie  Bennuda  ap- 
pointment— it  must  not  be  forgotten 
that,  while  Mr,  Croker  protests  tbut 
he  WM  not  merely  coy,  but  indignant^ 
Moorc'a  Diary  affirms,  in  a  v*'ry  ^ber 
entry,  that  the  oilieial  gentleman  was 
sometime*  anything  but  reluctant  to 
help  his  friend.  In  the  fifth  volume, 
under  the  date  December  27,  1826, 
are  the  following  words : — **  A  kind 
letter  from  Croker,  in  answer  to  one  I 
wrote  to  him  asking  hh  opinion  as 
to  my  Bermuda  situation,  whether  1 
should  give  it  up,  &c.  &c.  Advises  me 
not  to  give  it  up,  nnd  thinks  he  could 
procure  me  a  projier  por.'iou  fit  to  be 
my  deputy/^  And  again :  in  vol.  v. 
)j.  320  (Nov.  27,  1828),  we  have  the 
ioHowing: — "Called  atdlfterent  places. 
Bat  with  C  some  time,  and  b;ul  a  good 
deal  of  talk  about  my  Bermuda  place 
— thinks  I  cannot  take  any  steps  an  to 
a  deputy  (at  least  a  deputy  with  te^ 
curity)  till  there  ii^  isometbing  to  give 
wourity/or,  which  can  only  occur  with 


a  war."  The  italica  are  Moore's,  and 
they  arc  remarkably  significant.  Now 
Moore,  whose  great  misfortune  it  was, 
as  he  himself  said,  to  be  alw»ya  in  want 
of  money,  certainly  never  thought  of 
making  over  all  his  duties  to  a  nubslitute 
without  retaining  some  of  the  pecuniary 
advantages  of  the  appointment  in  ques- 
tion. A  coiuparison  of  dates  will  tmow, 
perhaps,  that  the  above  entries  do  not 
refer  to  the  actual  transaction  revealed 
by  ^Ir.  Croker,  but  they  appear  to  re- 
late to  negotiations  of  a  similar  nature. 
However  this  may  be,  no  one  will  in- 
dulge Mr,  Croker  in  his  eagerness  to 
destroy  the  reputation  of  Moore,  until 
the  entire  facU  are  before  the  public. 
The  latter  will  at  least  sus[>cnd  its 
judgment  until  Mr.  Croker's  letters 
are  placeil  side  by  side  with  those  of 
Moore — a  coui'se  to  which  we  presume 
thiit  Mr.  Croker,  strong  in  blaraeleas- 
ness,  can  have  no  possible  objection. 
At  all  events,  let  uu  have  the  letters : 
without  them  the  case  is  simply,  in  old 
Scotish  phmse,  **  Not  proven.'* 


THE  TABLE  OF  PRECEDENCY, 

"  Orders  and  degrees 
Jar  not  with  Liberty,  but  well  consut/^ 


THE  Table  of  Precedency  is  about 
the  most  complicated  piece  of  ma- 
chinery for  setting  us  in  motion,  the 
most  confused  arrangement  for  the 
**  order  of  our  going,"  that  could  well 
have  been  concocted*  W^e  by  no 
means  undervalue  the  privilege  of  a 
ioevi  ttaiuH  in  a  dinner  procession*  It 
ia  exoe^ingly  useful  to  have  a  notion 
as  to  how  one  is  to  be  disposed  of  on 
the  order  for  sailing,  as  well  as  to  know 
where  one  is  ultimately  to  settle  down 
at  the  anchorage.  We  write  this  ii| 
the  nuucultne  gender,  and  having  no 
**  handJe  to  our  name ;  '*  but  the  ques- 
tIoii«  as  respects  the  "  sot\er  sei,"  an 
epithet,  by  the  way,  of  very  doubtful 
application  in  this  case,  is  one  of  pri- 
mary importance  if  we  would  prevent 
those  shocks  to  the  nervous  system 
which  now  and  then  occur,  even  in  the 
most  amiably  disposed  families,  through 
the  blunders  of  many  most  excellent 
persons  whose  habits  of  thought  have 
rarely  led  them  to  wander  within  the 
intricate  majses  of  these  conventional 


arrangements  of  society*  For  instance, 
we  have  marked  the  sidelong  glance, 
the  movement  of  the  chin,  the  eleva- 
tion of  the  shoulder,  and  tlie  shitting 
of  the  chair,  when  a  Viscountess  has 
been  walked  off  leaving  the  daughter 
of  a  Marciuess  behind  in  dudgeon  and 
disgtist.  We  have  observed  how  the 
wife  of  the  younger  son  of  an  Earl  has 
stared  with  an  intermixture  of  sui-priee 
and  scorn  at  the  stupidity  that  could 
presume  to  order  out  before  her  the 
wife  of  the  elder  sou  of  a  Baron.  We 
can  call  to  mind  the  amusing  scene 
when  the  wife  of  one  of  our  most  dis- 
tinguished distillers,  the  daughter  of 
the  younger  son  of  a  junior  Baron, 
once  looked  daggers  at  the  ignorant 
and  unsuspecting  master  of  the  feast 
lor  placing  the  daughter  of  one  qT  our 
oldest  Baronets  "  betwixt"  his  arm 
*'  and  her  nobility."  On  this  occasion 
we  well  remember  that  the  safterer 
never  rallied  during  the  whole  of  the 
evening — ate  but  little — said  less.  In 
the  drawing-room  (we  do  uot  \«^\«.viA

But  this  same  table  of  degrees  is  by 
no  means  confined  to  th«  Court  and  the 
dining-room p  It  pervadi's  all  clasi^es. 
Mer  grace^s  lidy  and  my  lortl's  gentle- 
man occupy  their  re^p-ective  posi- 
tions in  the  graduated  scale  of  seats 
among  the  guests*  domestics  at  the 
CbrigtmBS  gathering  in  the  servants* 
hjdl»  if  indeed  the  nerves  of  **our  old 
nobility"  have  not  hitherto  shrank 
from  carrying  out  a  reform  of  that 
"High  Life  Below  Stairs*'  nuiaance 
called  a  *^  second  table,"  wheje  4ie 
pampered  ofTripri ng  of  ^ome  indus- 
trious labourer  cannot  sit  down  to 
meals  with  the  meiuier  dependents  of 
his  class,  and  where  port  and  sherry, 
denied  to  the  man  of  education  and  in 
holy  orders,  with  a  wife  and  family,  is 
dnly  providctl  for  the  psilatea  of  these 
pests,  and  often  times  plunderers,  of 
their  patrons.  The  Lady  Bab,  the 
Duke,  and  Sir  Harry  of  our  friend 
Garrick,  all  **so  devilish  proud  of  their 
nobility,"  not  forgetting  Lord  Francis 
and  Bob  the  Bishop  ^Hipping  off"  their 
"  four  bottles  of  Burgundy  a-piece,'* 
are  admirable  specimens  of  what  it  may 
be  hoped  is  a  nearly  extinct  species.  Yet 
we  well  remember  how  the  gentleman  of 
the  Port  Admiral  of  Plymouth,  though 
he  came  in  late,  would  not  tolerate 
that  Tom  the  footman, "  a  slovenly,  un- 
handsome" clown,  should  ait  "betwixt" 
the  joint  and  his  *'  nobility."  All  this 
reminds  us  of  an  anecdote  of  the  late 
lamented  Princess  Charlotte,  who  once 
rang  her  bell  at  Clarcmont,  and  ordered 
the  servant  to  remove  a  couple  of  band- 
Vioxes,  on  which  he  went  out  say  tug  that 
he  would  "send  someone" — **What 
ought  1  to  have  done!:'"  asked  ILK.H. 
of  her  estbnable  Chamberlain^^'*  Why, 
Madam,  if  your  R(jyal  Highness  were 
A  man,  the  best  thing  would  have  been 
to  have  kicked  him  down  stairs.  Under 
the  circumstances,  and  as  I  was  not  at 
hand  to  do  so^  you  will  allow  me  in- 
sUtntly  to  discharge  him,"  was  the  very 
prompt  and  eflVctive  reply. 

Respect  in  sf  our  position  at  dinner, 
although  this  is  no  actual  portion  of 


the  subject,  there  is  a  sort  of  hemi- 
spherical difTerence  of  opinion.  In  the 
Last  we  have  noticed  that  the  lady  of 
the  house,  after  the  manner  of  her 
most  gracious  Majesty,  precedes  her 
guests  ;  in  the  West,  as  we  all  know, 
she  invariably  follows  them.  We  are 
of  opinion,  putting  our  Occidental  pre- 
judices aside,  that  this  latter  is  the  best 
arrangement.  Then  the  next  person 
in  rank  to  the  one  who  falls  back  for 
the  purpose  of  conducting  our  hostess 
(though  after  the  host  and  the  lady  of 
highest  position,)  proeeefls  with  the 
lady  second  in  rank.  But  where  h 
this,  our  second  best  maoj  to  place  him- 
self? The  majority,  and  we  think 
correctly,  locate  him  at  the  bottom  of 
the  table,  placing  the  lady  he  con- 
ducts next  to  his  host.  We  say  we 
think  correctly,  first,  because  it  is  the 
homage  due  to  the  lady  second  in  rank 
to  be  seated  next  to  her  host;  secondly, 
although  precedency  is  a  question  for 
generiu  convenience,  all  those  who 
meet,  meet  as  gentlemen  on  erpial 
terms.  Nevertheless,  there  arc  some 
aspirants,  and  es^)ecia!lj  those  who 
from  having  the  m  mi  mum  of  rank  de- 
sire the  maximum  of  advantage,  and 
beln^  only  juit  squeezed  into  **  ^Vho  i 
who/  are,  ns  is  invariably  the  case, 
more  alive  to  their  privilege,  and  covet 
the  honour  of  being  next  to  our  hostess 
at  dinner,  with  a  Transatlantic  "go 
a-head"  that  shall  be  applicable  to  our 
host  after  dinner.  Such  ijj  the  ambition 
which  urges  the  newly-made  Baronet, 
Sir  Jeremiah  Jinglecash,  to  make  an 
trhdoii  movement  for  the  occupation- 
of  this  post  whenever  the  opportunity 
occurs. 

But  to  revert  to  the  real  point,  and 
from  which  we  have  seemingly,  though 
slighlly,  wandered.  With  a  view  of 
giving  additional  tranquillity  to  the 
mind  at  such  a  moment,  and  of  intro- 
ducing greater  simplicity  to  our  system, 
wc  submit,  in  the  soberest  seriousness 
(praying,  meanwhile,  respectfully  the 
attention  of  our  worthy  friends  H.  M.'b 
Master  of  the  Ceremonies  and  Garter 
King  of  Arms),  the  following  revision

Tbese  wore  days,  wlieii  the  Britlali 
and  Foreign  Bible  Society  felt  no  scru- 
ple in  blending  llie  Apocrypha  with  the 
canonic ftl  booK^»  hi  their  Continental 
editions.  Till  Uie  btirricnne  about  the 
Apocryphii,  it  was  regarded  as  no 
dishonour  lo  the  Won!  of  God,  to  com- 
mingle jt  Tf  ith  tilt*  word  of  man.  To 
please  the  Hornanist^  or  the  member 
of  the  Greek  Church,  Susanna  and 
Daniel  and  Bel  and  the  Dragon  wei*€ 
throwrn  togetbci".  But  the  lluldnnes 
and  Dr*  Thompson  sounded  the  alarm, 
and  the  Philigtmes  were  driven  beyond 
Dan  and  Beersheba.  It  is  uinrvellous 
what  changes  have  taken  place  in  the 
last  thirty  years ;  but  it  is  still  more 
marvellous,  that  the  Christian  Know- 
ledge Society  did  not  remember  and 
consider  these  changes. 

The  rule  is  now  made  absolute — 
ih^re  ihuU  l^e  no  Apocrtmhtt.  It  is  a 
wise  rule,  and  a  safe*  It  is  the  rule 
and  symbol  of  Protestantism-  Form- 
erly, It  wa5  thought,  you  might  favour 
A  weak  brother— you  might  help  him 
with  some  rotten  crutch.  But  it  is 
liow  discovered,  that  it  is  much  better 
to  place  hira  upon  Ins  own  legs,  and  to 
enable  him  to  walk,  without  any  orutoh. 
We  feel  eouvince^J,  that,  so  lar  as  the 
Word  of  (iod  is  concerneil,  this  is  the 
only  honest,  direct,  and  defensible 
course  of  procedure. 

Stillt  tliere  must  be  some  regard 
paid  to  the  point^^  of  the  compass^ 
The  Eastern  and  ^Veatern  world  will 
never  renounce  their  respective  dis- 
tmctiotifl.  In  the  East,  the  reverence 
Ibr  the  version  of  the  LXX.  will  nlways 
be  much  higher  than  it  can  obtain  in 
the  West.  As  all  the  Oriental  versions 
(but  the  Syriac) — the  Samaritan,  the 
Georgian,  the  Arnbic,  the  Armenian, 
the  Ethiopic,  the  Persian,  and  the 
Sclavonic — were  drawn  from  the  LXX. 
this  reverence  has  nervadcd  all  the 
Eastern  churches.  Whatever  modern 
or  vernacular  versions  are  circulate*! 
amongst  these  churches,  should  there- 
fore uutiuestionably  be  made  from  I  he 
text  of  the  LXX. 

But  the  decision  of  Protestants  in 
favour  of  the  Hebrew  text  prevents 
their  coming  to  this  natural  and  e^jui- 
table  compromi:*e.  There  i»  an  absurd

wherein  the  claims  of  the  Greek  ver*

not  pretend  to  question  the  superiority

by  the  Greek  Church,  as  quote<i  by

Had  Melancihon  lived  at  the  pi*e- 
seiit  day,  when  the  missionary  spirit  is 
so  alive  to  raising  up  tlui  iireek  Church 
from  its  present  prostrate  and  forlorn 
condition,  would  he  have  hesitated 
to  circulate  motlern  versions  from 
the  LXX*  in  any  part  of  the  East? 
Would  be  have  hesitated  to  dissemi- 
nate Romaic  editions  of  the  Septuagint 
throughout  Greece,  and  Turkey,  and 
Hussia  ?  To  make  **  new"  versions  111 
the  Romaic  from  the  Hebrew  text,  is 
a  work  very  difficult  and  full  of  dan- 
ger, pletmm  opfix  aitfw.  It  Fujipoaea 
the  most  perfei!t  knowledge  of  the 
Hebrew  tuul  the  Romaic,  and,  when 
accomplished,  it  is  calculated  to  puzzle 
and  coufbTiml  the  nioilern  Greek,  who 
has  always  been  accuitomcd  to  the 
text  of  the  LXX.  But,  if  you  pre- 
sent to  him  this  .iccu^tomed  t<.»xt  in  his 
own  vernacular,  he  reads  it  off  as  a 
spoken  language,  and  he  at  once  ac- 
knowleflges  the  worrli*  of  Holy  Writ. 
The  same  inrerericc  will  apply  to  those 
more  distant  landd>m  which  the  Arabic,

ill  use.  These  arc  the  Iwgiiaged  of 
the  priests  and  the  learned :  the  com- 
mon people  have  their  own  dialeet, 
und  in  that  dialect,  or  vulgar  tongue^ 
modem  versions  of  the  Old  Testament 
Soripturea  should  be  bascnl  on  the  L  XX-, 
and  the  mi^ionariea  who  address  them 
should  preach  from  the  LXX, 

But,  to  efleet  this  object,  it  is  neoes- 
sarj  that  the  text  of  the  LXX.  should 
be  restored  to  something  like  its  pri- 
pieral  atate,  thot  it  should  be  brought 
Into  union  with  the  Hebrew,  that  its 
chapten  and  verses  should  be  arrange<l 
aooording  to  that  standard.  There 
will  always  remain  some  important  dis* 
crcpancies  between  the  version  and 
the  original — there  will  always  be  jsuf- 
I  ficieni  matter  for  critical  dispute — but, 
,  «o  iar  aa  the  knowledge  of  saving  trulh 
k  coneerned,  the  Old  Testament — 
whcthor  read  according  to  the  Hebrew 
or  the  SejJtuagintal  text  —  will  ever 
liear  the  same  witness  to  Christ  an<l 
Christhmity. 

We  wish,  therefore,  to  call  the  espe- 
cial attention  of  the  Christian  Know- 
ledj^  and  the  Bible  Society  to  the 
dinuBJon  of  cheap  and  portable  editions 
of  the  Septuagiiit  in  modern  Greek,  as 
the  most  powerful  and  natural  means 
of  bringing  the  great  mass  of  Oriental 
Christians  to  the  knowle<lge  of  Moses 
and  the  Prophets.  The  brstory  of  the 
Chriiitian  Church,  from  its  earliest  in- 
fancjr,  testifies  to  the  imjiortance  ami 
providential  designs  of  this  version. 
The  earliest  of  Cbriatians  were  the 
Hellenistic  Jews,  who  bad  been  accus- 
tomed to  the  reading  of  the  LXX., 
and  who  recognised  in  Jesus  and  his 
disciples  the  verification  of  the  ancient 
Prophets,  During  the  succeeding  four 
hundred  ytjars,  that  version  continued 
the  fkilndum  of  the  Christian  Church. 
Even  long  after  Jerome  made  his  Latin 
version  from  the  Hebrew,  it  was  widely 
U!*ed  ill  the  Western,  whilst  it  remained 
the  sole  Scriptures  of  the  Old  Testa- 
jnent,  in  the  Plastcrn  Church.  It  h 
there  the  only  authorised  text  at  the 

firescnt  day ;  but  its  language  is  no 
OQgcr  spoken  in  it5  ancient,  or  rather 
HeDenistic,  type.  It  retjuirca,  ihcro- 
forCi  to  be  modernised  into  the  ver- 
nacular Houiaic  in  Greece  and  Asia 
^inor*,  and  throughout  a  large  portion 
?r  Turkey  in  Europe. 


The  Sclavonic  trit^es  have  always 
l»een  chiefly  oonncctetl  with  the  Eastern 
Church,  and  consequently  have  been 
accustomed  to  derive  their  knowledge 
of  the  Old  Testament  from  the  Gredk 
text  —  the  modem  versions  in  their 
respective  dialecta  should  therefore  be 
based  on  the  text  of  the  LXX. 

It  is  of  the  utmost  importance  now 
to  bring  home  these  fact^  to  the  busi- 
ness and  bosom  of  all  who  feel  any 
interest  in  the  cause  of  Protestantism 
in  the  East.  The  Cxars  of  Russia,  ever 
since  the  time  of  Peter  the  First,  have 
aspired  to  be  the  spiritual,  as  well  as 
temporal,  despots  over  their]  intermi- 
nable dominions,*  Formerly,  tlie  Pa- 
triarch of  Constantinople  contested  tlie 
ecclesiastical  primacy  with  the  Pope ; 
but  the  Czar  is  now  the  reigning  Ori- 
ental PontiflT.  During  the  reign  of 
Alexander,  this  spiritual  power  was 
exercised  in  favour  of  the  Protestants 
nnd  the  Bible  Society — ►hence  the  pub- 
lication of  tlic  Moscow  Septuagint  in 
1821— but  at  his  death,  affairs  took 
another  turn.  The  Emperor  Nicholas 
expelled  the  Society  and  the  mission- 
aries— his  policy  led  him  to  keep 
down  the  growing  liberties  of  the  Chris- 
tians ill  Turkey — the  l*airiarch  became 
his  servile  instrument.  The  Sultao« 
from  TK)licy  took  the  more  liberal  view 
of  their  Christian  subjects.  It  is  this 
opposition  of  policy  which  has  led  to 
that  strange  and  anomalous  spectacle 
which  we  now  behold. 

Here  are  England  and  Franceleagued 
together  apparently  to  uphold  the 
Crescent  against  tlie  Cross,  whilst 
Russia  is  apparently  upholding  the 
Cross  against  the  Crescent.  But  all

The  rotil  antagonists  ai'e  knowledge, 
liberty,  civilisation,  on  one  part,  super- 
stition, despotism^  and  barbarism,  on 
the  other.  Pope  Nicholas  in  the  East, 
like  Pope  Pius  m  the  West,  is,  as  usual, 
opposed  to  the  Bible  Society  and  to  all 
Protestant  missions.  He  has  no  ob- 
jection to  the  Greek  Church,  m  long 
AS  it  keeps  the  commonalty  in  igno- 
rance and  sujierstitioii.  He  is  the  advo* 
catc  of  the  pricBthood  and  tlie  synod, 
so  long  ns  ihey  obey  his  mandates; 
but  the  Bible  Society  and  Bishop  Go-

But  to  strike  borne  to  the  Czar,  to 
call  forth  nil  hia  zeal  mid  animosity, 
one  thing  iji  yet  wanted,  that  is,  tho 
diffusion  of  the  Greek  Bible  in  the 
modern  dialects  of  the  Ejust,  according 
to  the  Alexandrian  f«xt  of  the  LXx!

panieil  with  corresponding  versions  of 
the  New  Testament ;  notblng  would 
so  tend  to  break  the  fetters  of  ig- 
norance and  supers titioa — to  destroy 
the  despotism  of  the  priest — to  intro- 
duce freedom  of  conscience  and  liberty 
of  thought.  But  it  should  be  the  pure 
and  original  Septungint,  undefiled  with 
Apocrypha.  It  should  be  the  Sep- 
tuagint  in  the  order  of  the  Hebrew  and 
English  Bible.  Such  a  Romaic  Sep- 
tuagint  would  form  a  new  era  in  Greece 
and  Turkey*  at  St.  Pctersburgb  and 
Moscow. 

We  cannot  dose  this  article  with- 
out a  brief  notice  of  an  edition  of  the 
LXX.  which  has  lately  appeared  from 
the  press  of  Messrs.  Bagater.  After 
tlie  scTere  condemnation  which  we 
have  been  compelled  to  pasi  on  the 
Septuiigints  of  the  Christian  Know* 
ledgo  Society  and  the  University  of 
Oxford,  it  la  pleasant  to  fiound  the  notes 
of  praise  and  commendation  on  this 
truly  cxcetieut  edition.  It  follows  the 
Protestant  order  of  the  books,  and 
throws  the  Apocrypha  to  the  rear, 
with  the  exception  ot  the  {^[lurioui  ports 
of  Esther.  It  introduces  no  idolatrous 
ascriptions  to  the  Virgin,  under  tbo 
semblance  of  Potior  Van  etas  Codicis 
/Ut^xantlrini.  But  we  arc  sorry  that 
the  apocryphal  song  of  "The  Three 
Children '  has  been  alloweil  to  remain 
in  the  thinl  chapter  of  the  Septungintal 
Daniel,  and  that "  Susanna"  and  "  Bel " 
have  been  subjoined,  p.  757. 

The  distinguishing  feature  of  this 
edition  is  the  "Introduction,"  giving 
"  an  historical  account  of  tlie  Sep  tua- 
gint version,  and  of  the  principal  texts 
in  which  it  is  current/*  Thougb  brief, 
it  is  eminently  comjirehensive.  It  is 
evidently  the  result  of  much  reading, 
and  of  sound  scholar dbip.  But  we 
cannot  agree  with  the  learned  editor's 
estimate  of  the  Sep  tuagint,  that  it  is 
nothing  more  than  *^au  honestly-made 
version;"  or  tbjit  the  apostles  conl'ciTed

on  it  no  hrglier  character  by  their  nu- 
merous citations.  Certain  it  is,  that 
their  own  writings  would  then  bo  re- 
duced to  the  same  level ;  for  no  writer 
can  ri&e  above  the  authorities  on  which 
his  own  claims  to  credibility  are 
founded. 

If  this  be  true  of  human  writers  on 
ordinary  topics,  how  much  more  power- 
fully dues  It  apply  to  the  evangelists 
and  apostles — men  professing  to  be 
immediately  inspired  irom  above !  Had 
such  men  iounoed  their  appeals  to  the 
Old  Testament  on  faulty  and  erroneous 
translations,  their  authority  would  have 
been  liable  to  every  si>ecies  of  objec- 
tion. It  would  have  been  at  once  re- 
plied by  the  Pbariseett  and  doctors  of 
the  law, — You  misunderstand  and  mis- 
apply our  Scriptures ;  you  are  adopt- 
ing a  version  which  does  not  represent 
the  sense  of  the  originiil.  Such  ure 
the  assertions  of  our  modern  Hebrew 
lecturers;  but  we  never  hear  that 
these  objections  were  urged  of  old 
agaiuiit  Jesus  and  thcupostJes — a  plain 
evidence  that  the  version  of  tho  Sep- 
tuagint  was  then  esteemed  of  standard 
authority. 

The  least,  the  lowest^  view  which  can 
be  taken  is  this, — that  so  much  of  the 
LXX.  as  is  found  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment is  of  the  same  rank  in  truth  and 
value  as  the  context,  and  that  no  ap- 
parent fliscrepancies  of  the  Hebrew 
shall  be  allowed  to  degrade  these  cila* 
tions.  When  their  number  and  variety 
are  impartially  considered,  we  feel  fully 
convinced  that  the  great  majority  of 
believers  in  the  inspiration  of  the 
writers  of  the  New  Tcfitament,  will 
deem  the  version  of  the  LXX.  some- 
thing more  than  **an  honestly-mado 
version,  in  pretty  general  use  at  the 
time  when  they  wrote/* — But  we  must 
again  declare  our  ajiprobation  of  tliis 
edition,  and  of  the  valuable  Introduc- 
tion, subject  to  these  limitations. — *'  We 
find,"  says  its  author,  "amongst  the 
members  of  the  Eastern  churches  who 
use  the  Greek  language,  that  the  Sep- 
tuagint  has  been,  and  is  still,  so  tho- 
roughly received  as  authentic  Scripture, 
that  any  eCTort  to  introtlucc  auiongst 
them  versions  which  accur.itely  repre- 
sent the  Hebrew  (as  has  been  attempted 
in  modern  times)  has  been  wholly 
fruitless.'* — Let  this  fact  be  cahaly  dis* 
cussed  at  our  approaching  religious 
anniversaries.

The  Ozfobd  Edition  of  thb  Septuaoint. 


Mr  UaBAN, — An  article  appeared  in 
your  last  number  reSectiag  in  no  measured 
langu^nge  on  an  edition  af  tlie  Septuagint 
printed  at  the  University  Press  at  Oxford. 
It  is  not  my  jiurpostj  to  investigate  the 
motives  which  may  bave  incited  the  writer 
to  Doake  thia  unprovoked  attack.  I  will 
only  request  you  to  admit  into  your  jour- 
lud  a  few  lines  of  answer  to  hia  calumniea, 
and  of  exposure  of  hia  iiiaccaracies,  that 
may  6u(!ice  to  clear  the  managers  of  the 
UniTersity  Pres£  from  the  imputationa 
which  he  has  thought  fit  to  attach  to  them. 

A  cheap  aiid  portable  edition  of  the 
Septuagiot  was  much  wanted.  It  hap^ 
peii5,  perhaps  not  to  the  credit  of  gacred 
literature  either  in  Eogland  or  on  the 
CQDtinent^  that  no  attempt  has  been  made, 
to  any  great  extent  at  least,  ta  make  a 
critical  revision  of  this  important  version. 
Although  the  lajik  would  be  an  eitremely 
difficult  one,  anJ  a  perfect  work  could 
hardly  be  expected  from  the  Jabotirs  of  u 
stoglo  individual,  t^ttU  it  h  to  be  lamented 
that  so  little  has  yet  been  done.  There 
being,  howerer,  no  such  rcccnsioD  m 
cxiatence,  how  was  the  present  want  to  be 
supplied  ?  It  is  notorious  that  two  edi- 
tions  (viz.  that  of  Rome  1586,  and  that 
by  Grabe  1707  and  following  years),  have 
been  printed  afivr  two  of  the  most  ancient 
MSS,  extant,  nor  have  the  general  ac- 
euracy  and  tiJdity  of  t!»e§c  editions  ever 
been  impeached.  To  give  therefore  a  fair 
repre&eDtation  of  these  two  editions  at  one 
Tiew  (omitting  to  notice  the  insertrons  of 
Grabe  in  a  small  character  from  other 
quartern*  tban  the  Alex,  MS*)  was  con- 
sidered under  all  circumstances  the  bc&t 
course  which  cowld  be  adopted.  But  to 
deviate  from  the  text  of  that  edition  whtcb 
was  chosen  as  the  basia  of  the  reprint,  or 
to  disturb  (he  order  of  the  several  books 
as  tkey  are  found  la  that  edition  withoul^ 
assigning  a  reiaon  at  every  step,  would 
have  been  to  take  a  liberty  unwarranted  by 
the  rules  of  philological  criticism.  Manu- 
script copies  of  the  entiie  tranalalion  are 
extremely  rare»  but  in  the  caie  of  those 
whicb  arc  known  it  is  believed  the  sei'eral 
books  are  never  arranged  at*  they  occur  in 
the  English  version.  Nor  in  the  con- 
Teniencc  of  the  reader  much  embarrassed 
by  the  retention  of  an  arrangement  which, 
from  whatever  cause,  has  prevailed  from  a 
very  remote  period,  as  he  is  it  full  liberty 


to  study  the  several  books  in  such  ordef  I 
as  he  pleases.  It  is  clear  to  every  man  of  I 
common  sense  that  the  mere  position  of  I 
the  Apocryphal  Books  does  not  in  tbi] 
slightest  degree  affect  their  autbenticityi  J 
or  endow  them  witb  any  authority  beyond] 
whqt  they  legitimately  possess.  Sundf* 
there  is  a  strong  tendency  in  this  writer'tJ 
mind  to  confound  the  duty  of  an  exact  j 
copyist  of  a  certain  text  with  that  of  ^l 
critic  engaged  in  :»ettUng  the  Canon  of  J 
Scripture. 

So  much  fur  the  general  outline  of  tbtti 
edition  pub li shed  at  Oxford  in  1S48.  l] 
may  now  proceed  to  exumine  the  cbargotl 
made  as  to  particular  points.  1.  Apor^l 
tion  of  the  23rd  verse  of  Dent*  xxvli*  | 
is  ttltegeJ  to  be  auppoaititioua,  and,  there* 
fore,  according  to  the  writer  ought  to  bare  ] 
been  expunged  or  marked  with  an'obeltiCt  [ 
To  have  omitted  the  passage  altogethef  1 
when  the  Vatican  recension  retains  ill 
would  have  been  to  commit  a  fraud,  as  the  J 
title-piige  declares  that  this  recension  iij 
a!w£iya  followed  :  to  mark  it  with  uu  obel(i«  I 
would  have  been  beside  the  purpose  of  &a] 
edition  professing  to  give  a  certain  textpi 
and  that  only ;  meanwhile  the  reader  ii  | 
not  h  ft  without  means  of  knowing  that  I 
much  doubt  attjiches  to  the  (Missage,  as  t hi  J 
note  at  the  bottom  of  tbe  page  will  inform  ] 
him  that  it  is  absent  from  the  Akxandrins 
codex.  2.  The  same  rejnark  applies  X»\ 
the  "  interpolation  **  in  IValm  xiii.  3. 
3.  But  1  am  really  at  a  k>is4  to  understand  j 
what  the  writer  tntendi  when  he  goes  oa  ] 
to  state,  *'  even  the  mass  of  apocryphal  I 
prayers  and  hymns  is  scrupulously  ex* 
hibitcd  at  p.  1259  of  this  edition.''  Wi!l| 
any  one  believe  th,it  ici  the  Oxford  editiott  I 
there  is  nothing  of  the  kind?  At  th*j 
close  of  the  Psalms  indeed  a  note  is  sob-  j 
joined  shewing  that  at  the  end  of  tbft  J 
psalter  there  occurs  in  the  Alexand.  MS, 
a  series  of  odes  and  prayers  partly  iakeo 
fipm  scripture  and  partly  apocryphal,  lAc 
iiile*  of  which  are  given  ;  but  of  the  odetM 
themsflves  and  prayers  not  a  single  word*] 
To  have  omitted  these  titles  would  have  I 
been  to  deprive  the  reader  of  a  notice  of  1 
the  contents  of  this  nncicnt  copy.  Nothing  j 
more  than  tbis  has  been  done^  nothing]

Mm,  Uruant,^ — In  turning  over  Poly- 
dorc  Vergil's  work,  entitled  De  Remm 
Iwveniortimjff  *'  Of  the  discoverers  of 
things,"  I  find  a  passage  illustrative  of  nn 
interesting  subject  of  Engli«h  '*  Folklore/' 
It  is  an  illusion  to  the  uiarringe  ceremonies 
practised  in  England  in  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury. 1  should  mention  that  it  is  found 
in  the  earlier  part  of  the  book,  which  was 
published  in  1499,  shortly  sfier  the  nu- 
thor's  first  mission  to  England.  Perhaps 
some  of  your  corrcirpondenti  may  be  able 
to  throw  additional  light  upon  the  customs 
referred  to.  I  will  translate  tltc  pa^^^a^e 
entire.  It  is  found  in  the  fourth  chapter 
of  the  first  book,  the  chapter  which  trent<^ 
of  the  origin  of  marriage,  &c. :  ~ 

'*  Among  the  Romans,  according  to 
Festus,  three  boys  who  had  each  a  father 
and  mother  living,  accompanied  the  bride, 
one  to  carry  before  the  party  a  torch  of 
white- thorn f  for  the  marriage  took  plitce  at 
night,  as  we  are  told  by  Plutarch  in  his 
Prubtimti,  and  the  two  others  to  support 
the  bride.  The  torch  was  borne  in  honour 
of  Ceres,  that  as  CereSt  who  is  held  to  be 
the  mother  of  earth  and  crestrix  of  all 
its  products,  feeds  mortals,  so  the  bride 
beeomiog  a  housewife  might  feed  her 
children.  The  custom  is  preserved  to  this 
day,  especially  in  England,  that  two  youths 
accompany  the  lady,  as  paranymphif  to 
church,  where  the  pricBt  blesses  her  and 
her  husband,  and  two  men  bring  them 
home,  while  u  thini,  instead  of  a  torch, 
bears  before  them  a  vessel  of  silver  or  of 
gold.  The  bride—at  all  events  in  country 
ptaces^ — is  led  home  with  a  wreath  of  com 
(spicea  corona)  upon  her  head,  or  carrying 
the  wreath  in  her  hand,  or  else,  as  she 
enters  the  house,  wheat  Is  thrown  upon 
her  bead,  as  though  fertility  were  to  follow 
from  this  ceremony.  But  to  return  to 
Roman  customs.  .  .  As  soon  as  the 
bride  was  brought  into  the  house  a  pecn- 
Bmr  drink  was  offered  for  her  to  taste  : 
Kec  pitful  trttnm  nlvao  ctun  lacta  pupaver

When  Venus  first  was  lirowght  to  Vulcan's  iSde, 
C)f  thii  *i|ic  ilnink,  nn<!  thus  became  a  bride. 

*■  Instead  of  all  these  ingredients  honey 
only  is  at  present  tasted  upon  these  occa* 
fions  at  Rome.  in  the  same  manner 
amung  the  English  th?  bride,  after  the 
priest  has  pronounced  the  blessing  in  the 
diurch,  begins  to  drink,  the  groom  and 
the  other  pr rsoni  present  doing  after  her 
the  like.'' 

1  can  throw  no  further  light  upon  the 
ceremonies  here  mentioned,  except  by  the 
suggestion  that  the  Italian  clergyman  was 
very  probably  mistaken  in  supposing  there 
Was  any  connection  between  the  English 
customs  and  those  which  he  cites  them  to 
illustrate.  The  drinking  list  mentioned 
was,  we  moy  conjecture,  a  loving-cup 
which  was  drniik  to  the  health  of  the  bride 
and  bridegroom,  — a  ceremony  now  dc* 
ferred  till  the  conclusion  of  the  wedding 
breakfast.  Tlie  gold  or  silver  veaael,  which 
was  carried  before  the  wedding  party, 
may  have  been  the  tankard  of  llippocras. 
Tyre,  or  Malvescy,  which  was  taken  to 
church  for  this  purpose.  The  paranymphi^ 
in  the  shape  of  bridemcn,  still  surrivc, 
but  an  orange- flower  wreath  has  been  sub- 
stituted for  the  wheaten  garland  of  our 
gTcat-great-grand  mothers. 

The  following  passage  in  Harrison's 
well-known  Description  of  England,  eirca 
15*^5,  which  is  prefixed  to  Hollinshed'i 
Chroiiiolci  may  allude  to  the  disuse  of 
some  of  the  customs  referred  to  by  Poly- 
dorc  Vergil :— **  The  superfluous  numbers 
of  idle  wakes,  guilds,  fraternities,  church- 
ales,  helpe-ales»  and  soule-ales  called  also 
dirge-ales,  with  the  heaihmish  rioting  at 
bridt-aUa,  are  well  diminished  and  laid 
aside." 

Yours,  &c.        P.M.N.

pended to  hU  Account  of  London  Pagejants

Induced  by  that  list,  and  hy  a  fefr  iCAt- 
tenod  notices  of  the  contrnts  of  these 
pamphlets,  1  wns  led  to  puhHaii  under 
the  auspices  of  the  late  Percy  Society  two 
volumes  descriptive  of  these  annual  ceie- 
bratioaSf  for  which  purpose  I  visited  the 
Bodleian  and  other  public  and  private 
libra ries^  and,  though  1  wa^  unable  to  eee 
many  of  those  wbich  figured  in  Mr,  Ni- 
chots'a  list,  yet  I  had  the  mlvantage  of  that

Thomas  Jordan,  who  enlivened  hia  pageants 
with  Kings  and  B|veeches  to  a  greater  extent 
than  others  who  had  preceded  him,  and 
showed  conaiderablc  ability  in  whimsical 
impersonations.     The  title  runs  thus  :—

That  pleases  the  t^easant,  and  coaiforLs  the  kiog : 
In  liisty  lotig  life  there  be  many  expedient^) 
Long  life  is  Ihe  promis<ed  reward  ofobedlents.

Jlakcs  courtiers  of  coblers,  and  barons  of  brewers : 

Torus  kingdoms  to  states

Th«n  down  go  the  states-mcu,  and  up  go  the  jibbeti. 

4, 
RicAa.  Tis  rare  to  ha  rich  ;  for  in  riches  men  find 

All  things  that  are  pleasant  for  body  or  mind  : 
It  comprehends  all  things— ^tia  treasure  that  paints 
Rebellion,  and  gate  a  long  life  to  such  saints. 
Fortune^  But  when  they  were  drawn  on  a  sledge  or  a  cart, 

Wealth  could  not  prevail,  saints  and  angels  must  port. 
CAorug,  Then  cease  your  contention,  and  silence  your  brawl, 
For  Riches  hath  wings,  and  will  fly  from  yc  all.

True  Honour's  derived  from  royal  relation  : 
*Tis  Honour's  the  cauae  of  this  day*s  celebratton. 
Fortune.  Your  Honour's  mistaken,  for  Fortune's  power  such  is, 
She  can  make  a  dairy-wench  rise  to  a  dutchess.

To  nothing;  hut  he  that  hath  Fortune,  hath  all.

NORDKN,  THE   TOPOORAPHKB. 


Mr.  Urban, — The  following  particu- 
lars relating  to  this  industrious  writer, 
taken  as  they  are  from  original  sources, 
will,  I  trust,  prove  of  some  interest  to 
TOur  readers.  Where  little  is  actually 
Known,  additional  information  is  valued  in 
a  higher  proportion  than  its  intrinsic 
worth  would  otherwise  justify ;  and  every- 
thing relating  to  the  private  alSairs  of  John 
Norden  is  involved  in  the  gpreatest  ob- 
scurity. 

In  many  of  Norden's  writings  there  are 
direct  references  to  his  narrow  circum- 
stances, and  by  the  first  of  the  following 
documents  it  is  clear  that  the  straitened 
condition  of  his  pecuniary  affairs  must 
have  existed  at  the  date  it  refisrs  to.  In 
the  thirty-eighth  year  of  Queen  Elizabeth ^s 
reign  John  Norden  "of  Fulham*'*  ap- 
pealed to  the  Court  of  Requests  on  behalf 
of  himself  and  some  friends  who  were  in- 
volved with  him  in  his  refusal  to  repay 
with  interest  a  loan  of  15/.  The  history 
of  the  transaction  will  best  be  read  in  the 


language  of  the  original.  Norden  prayed 
for  an  injunction  to  restrain  the  parties 
complained  of  from  suing  him  upon  his 
bond,  which  he  had  given  to  secure  the 
loan  and  the  interest  which  was  agreed 
upon,  at  the  rate  of  about  40  per  cent, 
per  annum. 

The  tale  of  the  scrivener,  when  first  ap- 
plied to,  was  one  that  is  still  found  to 
answer  in  similar  cases  ;  "  he  had  not  anie 
monie  of  his  owne,  nor  knew  of  anie  that 
would  be  lent  after  the  rate  of  tenn  poundes 
in  the  hundred,"  but  he  knew  of  some  one 
of  whom  it  might  be  obtained  at  a  lUtU 
higher  rate  of  interest ;  so  the  bargain  was 
concluded  for  15/.  to  be  lent  for  three 
months  for  33#.  Ad,  Norden,  after  repay- 
ing interest  to  the  amount  of  a  third  of  the 
principal  in  nine  months,  found  that  he 
had  entered  into  a  very  bad  bargain,  and, 
making  use  of  what  seems  to  be  an  extra- 
ordinary condition  under  which  the  loan 
had  been  agreed  upon,  prayed  that  the 
forms  of  the  Court  of  Requests  might  be 


*  The  preface  to  the  Survey  of  Middlesex  and  Hertford  was  written  at  Norden's 
"  poore  house,  neere  Fulham,  4  November,  1596,"  the  very  year  of  this  loan  trans- 
aetton.  See  ^  Norden's  Description  of  Esaex,"  edited  for  the  Camden  Society  by  Sir

ing  the  rate  at  which  Korden  was  paid  for 
professional  Isboura. 

The  Survey  of  tbe  Castle  and  Forest 
of  Windsor  is  known  to  have  been  one  of 
Norden's  greatest  works;  tbe  MS.  Harl, 
No.  3,74;*,  is  one  of  the  most  splendid  of 
the  kind  remaining.*  In  Mr.  Devon's 
•*  Issued  of  the  E^t chequer,  Jamei  L'^  (p*

given  to  Norden  for  it. 

**  3rd  of  August,  1€07 .  To  John  Norden, 
in  part  payment  of  an  order,  dateJ  the  lasit 
day  of  August  1607,  for  the  snm  of  1 00/. 
parcel  of  200(.  limited  by  a  privy  seal 
dated  3rd  August  1607,  to  be  taken  to 
him  as  of  his  Majesty's  free  gift  and  re- 
tvard,  for  taking  a  survey  of  the  Castle 
and  Forest  of  Windsor  with  the  parks 
thereunto  belonging,  whereof  he  hath  made 
and  presented  unto  his  Majesty  an  exact 
desc  ri  pti  on , — 1 00/, ' ' 

With  regard  to  Norden's  pay  under  the 
Duchy  of  Cornwall,  wc  find  at  p.  313  of 
the  same  work  this  entry. 

**  37  November,  1613.  To  John  Norden, 
appointed  to  survey  tbe  late  Princess 
lands  tn  the  counties  of  Devon  and  Corn* 
wall,  &c.  the  sum  of  102f.  13f.  frf.  in 
full  payment  of  202/.  13*.  itl.\  to  ^-it, 
182/.  13#.  'id.  for  the  charges  of  himself, 
servants,  and  horses,  employed  in  the  said 
survey,  by  the  space  of  138  dfiys,  at 
2 6 J.  Sd.  the  day  {  and  20/.  for  abstracting 
and  engrossing  tbe  first  book  for  tbe 
Prince  und  some  of  bis  council,  of  which 
said  sum  there  was  formerly  imprc«ted  uinto 
him  100/.  according  to  a  list  of  the  par- 
ticular debt^  of  the  said  Prince,  subscribed 
and  allowed  by  his  Majesty,  102/.  1 3*.  4d/* 

By  the  kindness  of  a  friend  I  have  been 
favoured  with  an  examination  of  two  of 
Norden's  original  bills  in  the  years  I6i'0 
and  1621,  as  deputy  of  Sir  Richard  Smith, 
general  surveyor  of  the  duchy.  The  fir^t 
is  for  99/.  iri#.  4d,  for  74  day^i'  work  at 
2ti«.  ad.  the  day  ;  66/,  13i.  4d.  having  been 
received  in  advance.  The  second  bill  ia 
for  12W.  6*.  nd,  of  which  66/.  I3#.  id,  had 
been  prepaid.  It  is  for  the  services  of  the 
father  and  snn»  the  former  at  the  daily 
rate  mentioned  aY>ove^  the  latter  at  lialf 
that  amount. 

Both  bills  are  for  surveys  in  various 
counties.  The  rate  of  pay  allowed  to 
Norden  was  certainly  very  good,  higher 
tbaji  the  professioa  obtain  at  tbe  present 
day,  and,  with  the  engagements  Norden 
had  at  such  a  rate,  the  embaras&ed  state  of 
his  atfairi  roust  have  been  owing  to  other 
circumst  meet.

BiCBNDATION  OF  A  PaSSAOB  IN  CoEIOLANUt. 


Me.  Urban,  —  My  atUDtion  having 
been  attracted  to  a  letter,  signed  **  F.  J.V/* 
in  jour  last  number,  npon  a  lA'oposed 
•Biandation  of  a  doubtftil  passage  in  Corio- 
Ibbbs,  I  Tenture  to  oifer  what  I  conceive 
to  be  a  very  obvioos  and  common-iense 
ictding  of  what  we  are  told  is  a  most  diifi- 
cnlt  and  pnzsUng  passage.  To  me,  I  eon- 
fais,  it  is  somewhat  tingolar  that  so  mncfa 
timt  and  critical  acumen  should  be  spent 
upon  a  comparatively  modem  writer  with 
•0  small  an  amount  of  profit. 

The  emendations  npon  the  passage  in 
question  appear  to  be  simply  wild  con- 
jectures, which  no  scholar  would  venture 
to  risk  in  castigating  a  Greek  or  Latin 
BBthor.  Why  then  Siould  the  language 
of  Shakspere,  at  all  times  so  forcible  yet 
■imple,  so  full  of  sense  yet  so  easy  of  com- 
prehension, be  tortured  into  the  silliest 
nonsense  which  learned  ease  can  invent  ? 

Take  the  passage  before  us  :— 

I  took  him: 
Maie  him  Joint  lenrant  with  mt :  fare  him  way 
In  all  hl«  own  deriret :  nay,  lot  him  chooM 
Oat  of  mjr  flies,  his  prqfocU  to  accomplish, 
1^  host  and  fresheat  man :  lenr'd  hia  deiignmenta 
In  my  own  person :  Mp  to  reap  thefwM 
WkkhhtiUdmiaahu. 


Anfidius  b  here  summing  up  all  that  he 
has  done  for  Coriolanua,  closing  his  cata- 
logue of  favours  by  saying  that  he  (Au- 
fidius)  had  «'  kolp  lo  re^p  tk^/mmt  wkiek 
did  end  ali  Ats,*'  or  which,  in  the  end, 
b9km§9d  MoUlp  io  Coriolanua. 

The  A«  in  the  last  line  is  redundant — a 
mere  printer's  blunder;  and  the  entire 
passage  stands  correctly  thus  : — 

holp  to  reap  the  Ikme 
Which  did  end  aU  his. 

Yours,  &c       Augustus  Gubst. 

NoU.—WMh  submission  to  Hr.  Goert, 
we  still  think  that  the  suggestion  of  our 
correspondent  Mr.  Vipan — that  tmd  is  ei|ui- 
valent  to  inn — is  not  only  happy  but  pro- 
bable, as  supported  by  the  passage  fhnn 
AU's  Well  that  Ends  WeU.  It  is  poaaible 
to  spend  too  little  as  well  as  too  much  time 
in  deciding  upon  such  points  of  criticiam; 
and  Dr.  Goest  has  in  his  haste  omitted  to 
uotaoe  that  the  omissioo  of  the  word  ke  in 
the  last  line  would  impair  the  rhythm  of 
the  verse :  and  would  require  some  other 
altention,  such  as,  7^  wkieh^  &c.  If  bis 
own  ear  does  not  tell  him  this,  be  should 
consult  the  E^ssay  on  Rhythm  by  his  name- 
sake the  Master  of  Caius.~Altl.

first  notification  of  the  measure.  Such  is 
an  outline  of  the  UniverKityconiitttutiont 

For  the  reform  of  the  i^ollegiate  foanda* 
tioos,  the  better  application  of  IheiV  re- 
Tcnuea,  the  iroproTemeot  of  the  Fellowthip 
lystem,  and  the  extension  of  the  Univer- 
iity,  certain  general  regnlationa  are  to  be 
enacted  of  the  character  foUowinj^ : — All 
oatha  directed  against  the  disci orare  of 
college  matters,  or  the  acceptance  of  col- 
lege changes,  are  to  be  abolished.  Ail 
preferential  claims  to  college  preferment 
arising  from  other  circnrnttaneet  thsn 
thoae  of  peraonal  qnaliRcatioufi  are,  ^itb 
oertlia  exeeptSont,  to  be  eitinguLshed, 
8iib)a«t  to  these  exceptions,  all  Fellowshipa 
and  Schotarships  are  to  be  open  to  the 
whole  University,  and  ^led  up  by  public 
examtnaiion.  Fellowships  are  not  to  be 
made  necessarily  terminable,  bat  they  are 
to  be  held  aa  vacated  within  one  year  from 
the  time  of  election,  nnlets  the  holder 
shall  be  resident  for  not  less  than  twenty- 
four  weeks  in  each  year,  and  ihtll  be  oc- 
cupied donog  fiucb  period  either  in  tuition, 
or  in  the  discharge  of  University  or  pa- 
rochial duties,  or  in  private  study,  Cer- 
tiia  conditions,  however,  are  contemplated 
Mbnitting  of  noR' real  deuce,  and  leave  of 
ibaence  may  be  given  by  the  Colleges  for 
fited  purposes,  and  for  periods  not  exceed- 
ing five  years  in  the  whole.  It  appears, 
too,  that  after  twenty-one  yearn'  tenure  of 
a  Pellowsbip  on  these  terms  the  holder 
may  retire,  as  it  were,  upon  two-thirds  of 
hia  emolumenta,  without  being  any  longer 


bound  by  the  foregoing  obligations.  Of 
course  these  arrangements  are  profpectivei 
and  do  not  alfect  existing  interests.  K 
retention  of  preferential  claims  to  Fellow- 
sibips  seems  to  be  still  designed  in  favour 
of  the  lineal  defcendantx  of  a  founder,  and 
of  the  holders  of  close  Scholarabips  in 
CoUegeir  where  two  or  more  close  scholars 
can  compete  for  the  appointment,  and 
where  one-half  of  the  whole  number  of 
Fellowships  shall  be  open.  Scholarships, 
too,  may  still,  under  certain  conditions,  be 
adjudged  with  reference  to  birth-place, 
education  at  any  acbool,  indigence,  or 
membership  of  any  College.  All  these 
exceptional  caae*,  however,  are  to  be  ri* 
gorously  scrutiniied, 

Tn  extension  of  the  University  system, 
it  is  to  be  made  allowable  that  any  member 
of  Convocation,  being  of  a  certain  stand- 
ing to  be  hereafter  determined,  may  be 
licensed  to  open  his  own  bouae,  if  within  a 
mile  and  a-half  of  the  University,  as  « 
private  Hall  for  the  reception  of  students, 
who  are  to  be  matriculated  like  other 
students,  without  the  necessity  of  being 
entered  at  any  existing  Hall  or  College* 
Aa  the  Masters  ot  these  private  Kails  are 
til  be  members  of  Congregation,  and  as 
rheir  students  are  to  be  admitted  to  all  the 
privileges  of  the  University,  there  is  evi- 
dently room  provided  for  an  unlimited 
extension  of  academical  ciiucation.  FiiuiUy, 
and  by  way  of  bringing  all  these  provi- 
sions into  practical  and  early  operation, 
certain  Commissionen  are  to  be  appointed 
for  the  purposes  of  the  act.  The  Col- 
leges are  then  to  be  empowered  to  make 
ordinances  d  their  own,  subject  to  the 
ComTnissioners*  approval,  for  the  founda- 
tion of  Profes«»orf>hips,  the  opening  of 
Fellowships,  and  other  desirable  objectSi 
and  the  University  is  to  enjoy  the  same 
discretion  with  reference  to  the  establish- 
ment of  private  Halls  and  other  arrange- 
ments ;  but,  if  such  ordiiuinces  shall  not 
have  been  framed  to  the  aatis faction  of 
the  Commitfrioners  by  the  firAt  day  of 
Michaelmas  Term,  1855,  the  Commie* 
sionera  are  to  proceed  to  such  work  them- 
selves.  The  statute  thus  made  by  the 
Commissioners,  if  approveii  by  Her  Ma- 
jesty in  Council f  are  to  be  laid  before 
both  Houses  of  Parliament,  and,  unless  an 
address  be  presented  against  them  from 
one  Honte  or  other  within  forty  days,  are 
to  become  statutes  of  the  University  forth-* 
vrith. 

At  a  Convocation  held  at  Oxford  on  the 
1 4th  March,  a  statute'  for  establishing  n 
Professorship  of  tlie  Latin  language  and

[April, 


■doptioii  of  the  provUions  of  the  Act  13 
and  14  Victoria,  chap.  65,  ^  for  enabling 
Town  Councils  to  eittablish  Public  Li- 
brariet  and  Muteumi,*'  the  Society  of 
Arts  has  iisned  a  let  of  queries  to  the  town 
clerks  of  all  boroughs  included  in  the  Act. 
The  points  on  which  information  is  parti- 
cularly requested  arc,  whether  the  amount 
of  the  rate— one  halfpenny  per  pound  per 
annum —is  sufficient,  and  whether  the  rate 
ahould  be  limited  to  the  provision  of  the 
building,  fixtures,  Sec.  or  be  extended  to 
the  purchsse  of  books,  specimens,  &c. 
Mr.  Ewart  has  already  brought  in  a  bill 
to  amend  the  Act  in  question.  The  bill 
applies  to  the  whole  of  the  United  King- 
dom, and  purports  to  give  the  same  faci- 
lities for  establishing  free  public  libraries 
and  museums  as  have  been  enacted  in  re- 
spect to  the  establishing  of  baths  and  wash- 
houses  and  lodging-houses.  The  rate  to  be 
levied  for  the  expense  of  a  public  library 
or  museum,  or  both,  is  not  to  exceed  ]d, 
in  the  pound  in  any  one  year ;  but  money 
may  be  borrowed  on  the  security  of  the 
rates  for  better  carrying  the  Act  into  exe- 
cution. The  Act  to  be  adopted  by  towns 
or  districts  of  8,000  inhabitants. 

The  Literary  and  Philotophieal  Society 
^  Newcaetle'Upon-T)fne  hias  one  of  the 
largest  and  best  assorted  libraries  in  the 
North  of  England,  but  the  costly  building 
which  contains  it  entailed  a  heavy  debt, 
which,  though  reduced  from  time  to  time, 
■UIl  amounts  to  6,200/.  At  a  recent  meet- 
ing of  the  committee  it  was  announced 
that  Mr.  Robert  Stephenson  (M.P.  for 
Whitby),  the  eminent  engineer,  grateful 
for  the  advantages  he  derived  from  the 
library  when  a  young  man,  had  offered  to 
pay  off  one- half  of  the  debt,  provided 
means  arc  taken  to  pay  the  other  half  be- 
fore the  next  anniversary,  and  that  the 
annual  subscription  shall  be  reduced  to 
one  guinea.  This  liberal  offer  was  of  course 
accepted  by  the  members,  and  every  effort 
will  be  made  to  provide  the  amount  by  the 
time  specified.  The  society  has  been  in 
existence  for  sixty-one  years,  and  the  an- 
nual subscription  wan  originally  one  guinea ; 
afterwards  this  was  altered  to  a  guinea  und 
A  half,  and  since  1H27  it  has  been  two 
guineas— the  number  of  members  fluctu- 
ating, and  latterly  declining.  The  stipu- 
lated change  in  the  amount  of  subscription 
will  no  doubt  increase  the  number  of 
subscribers,  and  render  the  society  more 
effective,  as  has  proved  the  cane  in  the 
Society  of  Antiquaries  of  London. 

The  Marquen  of  Northampton  has  pre- 
sented to  the  Architectural  Society  of  the 
^"cheaconry  of  Northampton  all  the  dupli- 
'4  of  works  of  architectural  and  arcbse- 
al  art  from   his   library  at   Castle 
\    These,  with  a  recent  gift  of  Earl 


Spencer,  and  presents  from  various  other 
gentlemen,  render  the  library  a  valuable 
acquisition  to  the  county. 

Sir  Roderick  Murchison  and  Mr.  Green- 
ough,  the  Father  of  (Seology  in  this  coun- 
try, have  presented  their  valuable  collec- 
tions of  minerals  and  fossils  to  the  London 
University  College,  with  a  view  of  assist- 
ing in  the  completion  of  a  Geological  Mu- 
eeum  there,  of  which  the  nucleus  alreadv 
exists.  It  is  stated  that  several  other  emi- 
nent geologists  have  also  intimated  their 
intention  of  adding  to  the  collection. 

The  annual  report  of  the  Zoological 
Society  gives  an  account  of  continually 
increasing  public  favour.  Last  year  the 
number  of  persons,  not  Fellows  of  the  So- 
ciety, who  visited  the  collections  exceeded 
all  precedent,  the  year  of  the  Great  Exhi« 
bition  alone  excepted.  It  is  noticeable, 
however,  that  no  day  even  in  that  memorable 
summer  approached  the  spectacle  which 
was  witnessed  on  Whit  Monday  last,  when 
upwards  of  22,000  persons  paid  for  ad- 
mission to  the  Society's  collection.  **  Al- 
though,"  says  the  report,  "  this  vast  mul- 
titude necessarily  embraced  many  grades 
of  the  population,  it  is  a  most  gratifying 
fact,  which  deserves  to  be  recorded,  that 
not  a  single  instance  of  misconduct  in  any 
shape  occurred  during  the  whole  day;  but, 
on  the  contrary,  the  general  character  of 
the  assemblage  was  that  of  earnest  and 
intelligent  enjoyment."  Besides  the  addi- 
tions made  from  time  to  time  to  the 
gardens,  the  chief  point  in  the  history  of 
the  collection  during  the  past  year,  is  the 
new  and  interesting  re -arrangement  of 
living  fish,  mollusca,  zoophytes,  and  other 
aquatic  animals. 

The  Annual  General  Meeting  of  the 
Paltgontographical  Society  was  held  on 
the  24  th  March  in  the  apartments  of  the 
Geological  Society,  Somerset  House.  The 
volume  for  1853,  now  ready  for  delivery, 
contains  the  Fossil  Corals  of  the  Devonian 
Formation  of  Great  Britain,  by  MM. 
Milne  Edwards  and  Jules  Haime,  illus- 
trated in  54  phites  of  104^  figures. 

The  anniversary  meeting  of  the  Sta- 
tiitical  Society  took  place  on  the  15th 
March,  Earl  Fitzwilliam,  the  President, 
in  the  chair.  The  number  of  membera 
continues  to  increase,  as  do  all  the  sources 
of  income.  A  General  Index  to  the  first 
fifteen  volumes  of  the  Society's  Journal, 
made  by  Mr.  Wheatley,  the  Bibliographer 
and  Librarian,  is  passing  through  the 
press.  On  a  ballot  taken  for  officers  for 
the  year  ensuing,  the  following  was  de- 
clared to  be  the  list,  (the  names  in  italics 
being  those  of  new  Members  of  Council)  :

The  Annual  Report  of  the  Printn»^ 
Petutinn  Socielg  announces  the  founda- 
tion of  two  additional  peniions — viz.  the 
Franklin  Pension  and  tbe  Caxton  Pension; 
tbe  first  derived  from  the  sale  of  the  ori- 
ginal presa  worked  at  by  Benjamin  Frank- 
liii  in  London ;  the  second  fmpi  the  pre* 
aeptation  to  the  Society  of  the  funds 
originally  subscribed  for  tbe  erection  of  a 
monument  to  Caxton.  These  pensions 
will  not  be  large  in  amount,  we  fear ;  but 
the  money  ii  appropriately  bestowed.  The 
amount  handed  over  from  the  Caxton  Com- 
mittee, to  become  a  light  in  the  abode  of 
some  wortby  servaut  of  the  art  instead  of 
being  a  lamp  in  Westmiristerf  is  about 
1757.  Eiforts  are  being  made  to  increase 
this  sum  by  the  subscriptions  of  such  bm 
feel  an  intere^it  in  the  prosperity  of  this 
excellent  charity.  The  proceeds  of  the 
last  anniversary  dinner  amounted  to  400/. 
Sir  Robert  Feel,  M.P.  for  Tam worth,  has 
consented  to  preside  at  the  next,  which 
will  take  place  at  the  London  Tavern  on 
the  t\th  of  May. 

Mr.  Richard  Thornton,  a  welUknown 
merchant  in  London ,  has  recently  erected 
and  endowed,  at  a  cost  of  15,000/.  some 
commodious  schools  for  the  parishes  of 
Barton  and  Thornton,  in  Lonsdale,  co. 
Weatmerland,  as  a  benefaction  to  the  place 
of  bis  nativity. 

Colonel  W,  B.  Sgkes,  one  of  the  Direc- 
tors of  the   East    India  Company,   woa 


deeted  Lord  Rector  of  MiihscbiLl  College, 
Aberdeen,  on  the  Ist  of  March,  by  three 
out  of  the  four  Nations,  and  a  numerical 
majority  of  votes  of  HO  to  lOa.  Ckilonel 
Sykes  has  commended  himself  to  the 
favourable  notice  of  the  University  by 
placing  a  portion  of  his  East  Indian 
patronage  at  the  disposal  of  the  senators. 

The  vacancy  of  the  Prestider.c^  of 
Christ**  Hospitat  occasioned  by  tbe  death 
of  Mr.  Alderman  Thompson,  has  been  seised 
upon  to  give  testimony  to  the  present  un- 
popularity of  the  Corporation  of  London* 
The  office  has  for  three  centuries  been 
held  by  the  magnates  of  t!»e  City— the 
Hospital  having  been,  originally,  a  City 
foundation, — in  modem  phrase  a  work- 
bouse  for  the  pauper  children  of  tbe  me- 
tropolis. The  President  has  been  always 
an  Alderman,  and  in  several  instances, 
including  the  latt,  the  Alderman  elected 
has  been  the  Lord  Mayor  in  office  when  a 
vacancy  occurred.  Tbe  opponents  of  the 
Corporation  proposed  the  Duke  of  Cam- 
bridge :  and  he  was  elected  by  210  votes, 
the  Lord  Mayor  rccclTing  only  87.  Hia 
Royal  Highness  being  in  attendance,  waa 
immediately  introduced  and  installed  in 
the  chair. 

A  return  has  been  made  to  the  House  of 
Commons  on  the  state  and  progress  of  the 
Art- decoration  of  the  new  Patact  9/  Weti- 
minater.  The  return  gives  a  list  of  the 
several  statues  and  paintings  completed  or 
in  progress,  with  a  statement  of  their 
destination  and  expense.  The  estimate  of 
cost  is  as  follows : — House  of  Lords, 
fresco  paintings,  4,800/. ;  metal  atatoes, 
4,fj80/,  ;  upper  waiting-hall,  fresco  paint' 
iugs,  3,500/. ;  St.  Stephen's-hall,  statnes, 
8,600/. ;  the  Prince's  chamber,  statuesj 
3,835/. ;  bas-reliefa,  750/. ;  portrait  of 
Henry  VI  I.  50/.;  the  Queen's  robing- 
roora,  4,900/. ;  the  Peers*  robin g-room, 
9,000/.?  the  Peens'  corridor, 3,650/.  ;  the 
Commons' corridor, 3, 650/.  i  sundry  works, 
220/. ;  and  adding  5,800/.  expended  in 
premiums  in  the  ExhibitioDA  of  1B43  and 
1847,  and  for  the  purchase  of  two  cartoons 
exhibiud  in  18-15,— the  total  cost  of  what 
has  been  undertaken  will  amount  to 
53,335/.,  of  which  tbe  sum  of  20,660/.  has 
been  already  paid.  '^The  remainder  will 
only  be  required  by  degrees,  for  a  large 
proportion  of  the  works  are  not  com- 
pleted. The  Peers'  robing -room,  for  in- 
atttoce,  is  not  yet  bnilt ;  but  a  sum  of  not 
less  than  9,tMjO/.  is  devoted  to  the  nine 
fresco  paintings  which  are  to  be  placed  in 
this  apartment,  and  which  the  artist,  Mr. 
J.  R.  Herbert,  was  to  have  nine  yeara 
from  April,  1851,  to  complete.  They  are 
to  be  Scriptnre  subjects,  the  iltuatratioaa 
to  **  have  reference  to  the  idea  of  Justice 
on  earth,  and  its  dcvelopcment  in  Law

Mr*  W.  Newton,  of  Chancery  Lanet 
BQtborof  "A  Diiplay  of  Heraldry,"  1846, 
8to.  has  prepared  for  early  publication  a 
Map  of  London  in  the  olden  tlme^  which 
promises  to  be  of  great  archwological  and 
topcf  raphical  utility.  It  is  in  the  form  of 
a  bird's-eye  view  of  Londoa  iind  its  sub- 
urbs ^  and  19  complltfrl  from  John  Roque*^ 
survey  inade  io  the  beginning  of  the  last

RAdntpbofl  Aj^i^i  the  representation  of 
London  by  Hofoaglo^  published  at  Nu- 
rcmbcra:  in  1572,  and  every  other  import- 
ant accetstble  authority.  The  map  will 
be  published  entire,  and  in  divisions  to 
bind  up  with  the  teit  in  foHo. 

In  connection  with  this  subject  we 
should  notice  thAt  the  fictiitout  character 
of  certain  tiews  of  the  Fortifications  of 
l^ndon  at  the  time  of  the  Civil  War  has 
been  exposed  by  the  Editor  of  **  Notes 
and  Queries/*  A  set  of  twenty  etchings 
was  published  hist  year^  porportioi^  to  be 
taken  from  drawings  made  in  1643  by 
Capt.  John  Eyre  of  Oliver  Cromwell^s 
own  regijnent*  These  and  some  other 
drawings  ascribed  to  Hollar  have  crime 
from  the  same  manufactory.  The  geuuiuc 
map  of  the  Portiticntiuu&  of  London  was 
engraved  by  Vcrtne  in  173B,  and  copie-d 
in  the  Gentleman's  Magazine  for  June,

London  archoLologists  and  collectors  of 
antic[uittes  have  recently  been  deceived, 
iu  the  purchase  of  silver  coins  bearing  ihe 
retembhince  of  genuine  Bntiith  and  early 
Saxon  coins  of  Cunobeline  utid  hii^  epoch, 
and  clever  imitations  of  the  late  Roman 
denarii  on  one  aide,  and  Saxon  on  the 
other,  which  prove  to  be  counterfeit  pre- 
eeotmenta  of  the  same.  The  \:indor«  re- 
present the  Coins  Io  hnve  been  discovered 
at  Colchester,  but  those  sold  are  IVmnd  to 
have  been  brought  from  Ipawich. 

There  is  at  present  submitted  to  public 
Inspection  in  the  Museum  of  Art  at  Mari- 
borough  House  a  small  but  exceedingly 
curious  collection  of  models  in  clay  and 
wax,  said  to  have  been  found  in  a  bouse 
at  Florence,  and  believed  to  be  original 
fttndies  by  Michael  Angelo,  Raffaelle, 
Donatelto,  and  other  celebrated  Italian 
sculptors.  This  collection,  having  been 
offered  to  the  French  Government  and  to 


the  tmstees  of  the  Drititih  Museum  and 
National  Gallery  without  tinding  a  pur- 
chaser, is  now  exhibited,  that  it  may  un- 
dergo a  careful  examination  by  the  best 
judges,  and  have  its  value  n»certAined. 
Whether  its  estimated  money  value  (vi«. 
SiOOOf.)  be  a  fair  market  price  w©  are  not 
prepared  to  say  ;  but  there  can  be  no 
question  about  the  artistic  meriti  of  these 
interesting  model;!* 

We  are  requested  by  Mr,  Darling,  the 
mjinager  of  the  Clerical  (or  MetropolUan) 
Library,  to  contradictr  as  entirely  without 
foundation,  an  injurious  report  that  tbst 
establishment  is  in  the  market,  and  abont 
to  be  sold.  Mr.  Darling  is  making  con- 
stant progress  with  his  excellent  catalogue,

The  urigiual  of  one  of  the  most  remark* 
able  and  characteristic  Letters  of  Oliver 
Cromwell  has  been  sold  during  the  past 
month  by  Messrs.  Pottkk  and  Simpson. 
It  was  written  shortly  after  the  battle  of 
Worofster,  in  answer  to  an  address  of  con- 
gratulation* which  be  had  received  from 
the  colonists  of  Boston  iti  New  England, 
at  the  hand  of  their  pastor  Mr.  John 
Cotton.  It  is  giveu  by  Mr.  Carlyle  (vol. 
ii.  p.  358),  having  been  originally  pub- 
lished in  Harris's  collection  of  Letters, 
p.  518,  io  a  partially  modemtsed  form. 
More  faithfully  copied,  it  reads  as  follows : 
**  Worthye  ^',  and  my  Christian  freind, 
**  I  received  yours  a  few  dayes  sithenoe* 
It  was  welcome  to  me  beoaose  signed  by 
you,  whome  I  love  and  honour  in  the 
Lord,  but  more  to  see  some  of  the  same 
grounds  of  our  actiones  stirringe  in  you 
that  have  in  us,  to  quiet  us  to  our  worke,

bat  thorough  weaknesse,  and  the  subtiltye 
of  Sathan.  involved  in  interests  against  the 
Lord  and  his  people^  With  what  tender- 
oesse  we  have  proceeded  with  such,  and 
that  in  synct'ritye,  oar  papers  (which  I 
suppose  yon  fanve  seen)  will  in  part  mani-

appeared  even  against  thera,  and  now 
agaioe,  wht'n  all  the  power  was  devolved 
into  the  Scottish  Kinge  and  the  malignant 
partic,  ihcy  invadeinge  England,  the  Lord

burgh, 4c.  Vol.  L  The  Botany,  Swt, 
pp.  336. — The  earliest  topographical  works 
that  were  written  in  England  were  those 
which  tremted  of  local  and  natural  feattire«, 
to  which  Aubrey  and  Ash  mole,  Plot  and 
Salmon,  paid  their  chief  attention  ;  and  it 
WHS  not  until  Sir  William  Du^dale  had 
set  a  different  example  in  his  Warwick' 
shire  that  the  staple  material  of  topogra- 
phy came  to  be  considered  as  consisting 
of  family  pedigree  and  the  descent  of 
feudal  and  territorial  property.  Now, 
thongh  we  are  far  from  undervaluing  the 
interest  of  gcntilitial  and  biographical  his- 
tory, which  lends  such  material  aidi  to  the 
general  history  of  the  country  and  its 
pb^  we  must  admit  that  we  find  some^ 


thing  peculiarly  refreshing  in  a  book  which 
treats  of  the  country  itself.   Its  natural  j 
wonders  both  below  and  above  the  surface^ j 
the  enduring  beauties  of  its  mountains  audi 
its  streams,  and  the  ever-varying  charmif 
of  that  vesture  in  which  it  is  annually  andl 
perennially  cluthed  by  the  untiring  band] 
of  Nature,     Such  a  book  is  that  which  we  j 
have  now  before  us :  and  though  its  spe*  f

varied   tn  its  contents — sulhciently  inter-] 
tpersed  with  anecdote,  and  folk-lore,  and  i 
legend,   and  poetry,  and  biography,  and

ing to  every  intelligent  reader.    "  It  is  very 
true,*'  says  the  author,  *'  that  I  have  been 
a  scholar  for  many  years  in  the  Book  of

I  am  that  now  I  can  se^;  and  appreciate  a 
beauty  and  cxeelkuce  where  otlierwise 
thej  would  not  li«ve  impre&ged  me.''  A. 
icUoUr  studying  lu  sach  a  gpirit  may  con- 
ftdently  hope  that  he  opens  that  great 
Book  aright — and  fitly  may  he  learn,  and 
0tlj  teach.  Dr.  Johnston  apprisee  his 
f«aderi  that  his  own  work  ia  oot  exactly 
*'a  book  of  useful  knowledge,  in  the  sense 
that  men  ioterpret  the  useful/'  but  its  aim 
Is  to  lead  to  habits  of  correct  obsenratioD, 
to  the  ready  clasiificatioii  of  minute  faots^ 
and  to  the  studies  that  woo  the  spirit  away 
from  gToasne«8,  that  keep  the  mind  in  life 
aod  action,  and  funiiish  it  with  varied  and 
ever-germinating  matter  of  thought  and 
illii«tradoD, — "at  once  adorning  and  re- 
liering  the  toila  and  vexations  of  a  busy 
life,  and  refimog  and  exalting  the  enjoy- 
ments of  a  social  one." 

*'  The  Eastern  border*,^*  which  form  the 
held  of  the  author's  obseryations,  **  com- 
prehend the  whole  of  Berwickshire^  the 
Liberties  of  Berwick,  North  Durham,  and 
the  immediately  adjacent  parts  of  Nor- 
thumbertand  and  Roxhurghihire.  To- 
gether they  form  a  district  of  a  nearly 
circolar  figure,  about  forty  miles  in  dia- 
metefr  and  bounded  by  a  tolerably  distinct 
outline^  which  the  eye  can  trace  out  from 
any  commanding  height  within  its  area. 
It  consists  of  a  succession  of  elevated  ridges 
and  intermediate  valleysi  running  almost 
parallel  to  each  other,  with  hills  occasion- 
ally rifling  from  the  plain  itself.  While 
the  surfiicti  is  in  general  under  cultivationj 
and  full  of  productire  virtue,  there  are 
many  tracts  of  heath  and  of  '  morishe  ctiU 
ground  of  litle  valore,'— so  many  and  so 
dispersed,  that  scarcely  any  farm  can  be 
said  to  be  without  its  parcel  of  waste  land. 
Extensive  muirs,  too,  occupy  portions  of 
the  very  centre,  while  the  elevated  bound- 
ary is  clothed  with  heath,  or  with  a  green 
sward  intermingled  with  heath,  and  having 
oaaea  of  ranker  growth  to  freshen  the 
proapect.  The  Tweed  and  tU  tributaries, 
glancing  at  rare  intervals  on  the  eye, 
meander  through  the  basin,  opening  up 
valleys  of  various  breadths  and  of  great 
beauty^  while  faangbs  and  deans  and  glens, 
each  threaded  by  its  own  bum  or  rivulet, 
are  found  everywhere,  affording  an  endless 
series  of  haunts  io  the  naturalist  who  may 
love  to  court  their  intricate  and  reoeding 
lecrets.  The  district,  as  a  whok\  is  as 
fisir  a  one^  to  my  partial  eye,  as  ever  glad- 
dened the  heart  of  man/' 

It  is  roughly  estimated  as  containing  a 
thousand  square  miles,  or  about  700,000 
acres.  There  are  many  eminences  which 
command  magnificent  views,  somo  of  the 
finest  of  which  are  Langton  Edge,  Soutra 
Bill,  Hume  and  Berwick  Castles,  and 
Haltdon.     Dr.  Johnston  proi^dg  to  de-

scribe  the  soilst  the  waters,  and  the  cli- 
mate, into  which  our  space  will  not  permit 
ns  to  foOow  him  :  but  we  must  give  a  few 
short  extracts,  in  order  to  show  tlie  delighl- 
ful  manner  in  which  he  treats  the  smaller 
topics  of  his  discourse.  The  localities  of 
one  species  of  violet  are  thus  picturesquely 
sketched:  **  Viola  Lutea*  This  violet  is 
found  on  the  entire  range  of  the  Cheviots 
and  of  the  Lammermuirs,  wherever  the 
sward  is  free  of  rank  herbage  and  heatheri 
aad  hence  it  is  found  especially  on  the 
green  tops  of  the  hills  that  are  occupied 
with  the  remains  of  the  camps  of  the 
ancient  British  people.  It  grows  on  the 
steep  banks  above  Fast  Castle,  and  on 
those  of  Coldingham  lough.  It  occupies 
the  British  camp  at  Ernesheugh  \  and  sur- 
vives those  that  were  on  Ewieside,  Bancle- 
edge,  and  Presto  n-cleugb.  It  grows  tn  the 
trenches  of  an  old  encampment  at  War- 
law  bank,  above  Auchincraw  or  Alden- 
crawe  (always  pronounced  Eddincraw); 
and  amid  the  traces  of  the  Covenanters' 
encampment  on  Dunse-law.  It  is  on  the 
Eildon 'hills;  on  Sterrock  above  Kirk 
Yetholm  ;  and  on  every  caim-crowoed 
summit  amidst  the  Cheviots.  It  tnigbt 
aptly  emblazon  the  armt  of  the  British 
antiquary." 

CraHberriet  arc  fonnd  in  tome  boggy 
spots  in  the  district,  but  are  gradually 
becoming  rare  from  the  encroachments  of 
the  farmer.  The  author  remembers  the 
time  when  a  small  quantity  of  native  cran- 
berries was  annuaDy  sold  in  Berwick ; 
but  the  practice  is  obsolete,  and  the  fact 
might  soon  have  been  disputed,  had  it  not 
been  placed  upon  record.  There  was  once 
B  **  cranberry  boag  where  the  grounds  of 
Twcedmoutb,  Ord,  and  Scremerston  doe 
meet/*  of  such  extent  and  vulgnr  noto- 
riety as  to  have  been  made  a  landmark ; 
but,  were  other  boundary  unknown,  it 
might  now  require  a  nice  and  judicial  in- 
quiry to  determine  the  exact  position  of  it. 

Here  m  another  happy  botanical  illus- 
tration of  history  :  *'  "The  Rev.  James 
Raine,  in  his  History  of  North  Durham, 
p»  55,  notices,  from  Bede,  that  the  wooden 
church  of  Lindisrarne,  rebuilt  by  Finan 
in  the  Scotisb  fashion,  was  thatched  with 
reeds,  '  in  all  probability  the  wiry  Beni 
(Arundo  areoaria)  which  grows  in  such 
abundance  on  the  island/  The  cabin  in 
the  Fern  iislands,  to  which  St.  Cuthbert 
retired,  would  much  resemble  those  huts 
of  divots  or  sods  and  stone  which  are  still 
built  by  shepherds  in  our  muirlands  as  a 
shelter  in  bad  weather  \  and  the  Saint,  it 
is  no  improbable  conjecture,  may  have  got 
his  lesson  in  the  art  when  ho  wn^  a  shep. 
herd  boy  on  the  banks  of  the  Loader.  The 
rude  hut,  built,  Bede  expressly  tells  ug,  of 
stones  and  turf,  was  aa  rudely  thatched, —

the  great  riven  of  Europe  were  to  b«  opea 
to  the  thlpt  of  all  nations ;  bat  it  is  eri- 
dent  that,  either  from  apathy  or  design,  the 
Danube  will  be  Terj  shortly  closed  alto- 
gether. The  cliannels  at  Salioa,  St. 
6eorge»  aad  Kilia^  are  all  in  (he  haad»  of 
Rujaia.  On  condidoD  of  her  keeptiig 
open  the  channel  of  SuUna,  Austria  con* 
seoted  that  each  of  her  vesseU  should  pay 
a  toii  to  Russia  of  two  dollars.  How  haa 
Bnssia  performed  her  part  of  the  contract  ? 
Noliuiig  would  be  easier,  by  nieaos  of  a 
properij  managed  dredging  vessel,  Mr. 
O'Brien  thinks,  than  to  keep  this  channel 
opes.  But  the  single  vessel  profeuedly 
employed  by  Russia  for  this  purposa  wai 
lying  idle  at  the  mouth  of  the  river^  aad. 
jadgioc  from  it«  filthy  and  neglected  ap- 
Mraioet  rauat  have  been  long  disuied. 
Tlie  Hcliiiasf  of  the  Wallachian  provinces 
is  ahown  by  the  enortnouB  quantity  of 
grain*  overflowing  the  storehouses  of 
Ibraih&f  and  lying  in  large  mounds  in  the 
streets,  for  want  of  house-room.  The 
various  other  and  abundant  products  of 
the  aotl,  which  only  the  difficulty  of  trans ^ 
port  prevents  from  making  their  way  to 
all  parts  of  the  world,  sufficiently  show 
how  much  Russia  has  done  and  can  do  to 
obstruct  trade,  by  her  faitblesjneas  to  her 
engagements, 

Mr*  O'firien^s  account  of  Bucharest 
wiJl  be  read  with  intercGit.  Ita  l!ir»t  ap- 
pearance is  striking ;  its  three  hundred 
ohurchesi  each  of  which  has  two  or  more 
spires,  rising  up  graoefuHy  to  the  sky. 
The  reader  may  be  surprised  to  bear 
that  it  covers  nearly  as  much  ground  ps 
Paris*  but  then  it  muat  be  added  that  a 
third  of  this  space  is  taken  up  by  gardena 
ao  that  the  bright  green  foliage  of  trees 
breaks  the  uniformity  of  building  and  in- 
craasea  the  beantiful  effect.  Neither  waa 
the  traveller  greatly  disappointed  on  nearer 
act(uaint&nce.  After  a  long  faubourg  of 
gardena  and  ooe-storied  bouees,  he  reached 
a  street*  broad  and  well  built,  containing 
some  jtne  erections.  This  i«  the  quarter 
where  the  Spanish  Jews  have  tbdr  private 
residences.  Furtber  ou  arc  good  streeU, 
with  handsome  shops  on  either  «id«,  full 
of  bustle.  There  are  handsome  hotels, 
and  living,  except  in  bouse  reut,  appears 
to  be  moderate.  The  Opera  House  is  as 
handsome  and  comniodiouji  a  theatre  as  is 
to  be  found  in  any  city  of  Europe,  capable 
of  aceommodating  from  seven  to  eight 
hundred  people,  sod  very  luxuriously  htted 
up*  with*  at  the  time  Mr.  O'Brien  visited 
it  (last  October)«a  refpectabiy  good  Italian 
eompauy*  There  is  a  public  promenade* 
and  alao  a  public  garden,  Inid  out  in 
English  style,  and  exceedingly  pretty, 
with  bright  flowers,  fine  trees,  numerous 
fonntaiasT  and  a  small  lake. 


Of  all  this  Russia  seemed  to  be  the  then 
supreme  arbiter;  and  this,  Mr.  O^Bnen 
thinks,  tells  against  the  propriety  of  its 
distinctive  name,  which  '  ^  "  ir^nifies 
"  city  of  pleasure/*  Adi  ^usijian 

army  of  IS.OdOmen  oc^.,,  .  ..-  neigh- 
bourhood under  Prifice  Gortj^chakotf,  and 
went  through  its  movements  in  a  review 
with  admirable  precision,  appearing  also  to 
be  well  officered.  It  is  melancholy  to  think 
that,  whatever  be  the  event  of  a  war,  whether 
Turk  or  Ru&aian  carry  the  day,  these  pro- 
vinces must  be  the  great  sufferers.  For 
still  will  foreign  troops  feed  on  the  rich  pro- 
ducts and  live  attheexpenfeofthc  people. 
Russia  affects  to  treat  the  inhnbitants  as 
vsssals  ol  the  Turk,  while  the  Turk  hates 
them  as  Giaours.  Thus  are  the  poor 
Moldo-WnllachisDs  beaten  from  pillsr  to 
post  without  the  pofcer  of  redress.  A 
more  docile,  bard-working,  honest  people, 
according  to  the  present  journalist,  can 
hardly  be  found.  Such  thiugs  as  drunken 
riots  are  unknown,  and  theft  is  rare. 
Among  the  upper  ctavses  there  are  many 
weU^edncmted  aud  gifted  men,  who,  fur 
want  of  a  suitable  public  career  in  their 
own  land*  are  depressed  there,  or  are  vo- 
luntary exiles  elsewhere,  Rusdian  com- 
missaries 6x  the  price  of  provittons,  which 
during  last  summer  were  much  under* 
charged «  There  is  not  a  treaty  formed 
for  the  benefit  of  these  provinces  which 
Russia  has  not  violated*  She  has  gained 
the  bitter  hatred  of  the  people  i  and  <KJuld 
wc  but  contemplate,  as  the  result  of  the 
contest  now  waging  in  the  VVallachian 
provinces,  the  establishment  of  a  govern- 
ment independent  alike  of  Mutruvite  and 
Mahometan,  it  would  be  a  cheering  issuo 
of  a  war.  Here  are  two  principalities, 
capable  of  supporting  twenty  milUons  of 
souls.  Suppose  a  ruler  chosen  for  them 
amoog  the  royal  families  of  Gcrmuoy^und 
a  regular  dynasty  formed  :  then  nn  end 
might  be  put  to  the  wretched  plots  among 
the  Boyards  and  the  deputies  of  Russia 
which  keep  the  country  always  turbulent 
and  depressed.  No  region  in  Europe  pos* 
sesses  more  of  the  elements  of  pi'osperity, 
and  none  has  been  more  wretchedly  mis- 
governed. 

Mr.  O'Brien,  who  has  resided  much  In 
Greece,  speaks  with  praise  of  its  govern- 
ment, and  believes  every  calumny  may 
be  traced  to  Russia.  King  Otho,  be  it 
said,  has  violated  no  promises,  and,  with 
the  exception  of  his  brother  Moximiliun 
of  Bavaria,  is  really  the  ooly  sovereign  of 
the  Continent  who  has  adhered  to  his 
oaths  from  the  year  1648  till  now. 

The  Journal  of  Mr.  O'Brien  seems  to 
us  honestly  and  simply  wriiien^  and  it  will 
be,  we  think,  extensively  read.

ment»  Liiier aires :  Art.  Santa  Rota.  By 
Victor  CousJQ* — ^The  concluding  volume 
of  M.  Fnrini's  work  is  IrUDsLAted  witb 
eipecial  care.  It  treats,  of  course,  of 
matten  of  Tery  lively  interest.  The  siege 
of  Romef  itflantecedeDtB  and  cooisectuencei, 
— the  whole  being  wound  up  by  a  Enm- 
mary  view  of  (lie  present  position  of  the 
dlflTerent  states  of  Italy,  and  tbe  author's 
opinion  tbereupotir  in  a  long  and  well* 
written  letter  to  Mr.  Gladstone.  There  Is, 
however^  a  general  tone  of  contempt,  and 
iome  vituperation  of  the  Mazzini  party,  of 
the  ground  for  which  we  are  not  entirely 
convinced,  since  all  are  allowed  to  have 
their  theories »  and  style  ia  a  matter  to  be 
largely  allowed  for.  Especially  we  may 
■ay  thii^  since  it  really  does  not  appear 
that  M.  Farini  thinks  any  better  of  the 
position  of  Italy  than  Mazslni  himself. 

The  difficulties  of  thnt  position,  as 
stated  in  the  letter  to  which  we  refer, 
seem  no  nearer  being  met  by  the  most 
moderate,  than  by  the  most  stnogenl, 
mea»urea  which  can  be  proposed.  The 
Republic: an  idea,  it  is  well  known,  has 
been  adopted  by  many  Itallanfi,  who  ar« 
by  no  means  Republicans  from  convictioti 
— by  mtioy  who  would  willingly  and  glndly 
accept  of  good  government  under  a  repre- 
aentative  monarchy,  but  for  the  practical 
lEDpofisibility  of  meeting  with  a  bead.  In- 
dependence of  foreign  rulers  being  the 
poHit  to  which  the  wishes  of  all  turn,  it  ia 
scarcely  fair  to  brand  with  distinctive  oh- 
loijuy  those  who,  unable  to  see  their  way 
to  it  through  the  moDarchical  principle, 
and  deeply  distrtistful  of  the  petty  princes, 
come  to  the  resolution  of  confiding  only 
in  a  general  federal  government. 

It  is  not,  however*  possible  In  tbe  limits 
allowed  here  to  diflcuia  so  complex  a  sub- 
jcct.  The  facts  of  M,  Parinra  work  are 
all  we  can  touch  on. 

First  among  these,  it  must,  one  h 
grieved  to  see,  be  stated,  that,  though 
three  and  a  half  years  have  now  pasaed 
since  the  siege^  the  Government  of  Rome 
Itself  baa  not  become  more  tender,  merci- 
ful,  and  just,  but  quite  tbe  reverse.  The 
Pope,  so  for  from  softeciing,  hai  become 
Ivnrsh  and  revengeful.  Numerous  are  the 
instances  of  petty  tyranny  recorded  by  M. 
Farini.  New  and  inquisitorial  laws  have 
been  framed,  newly-constituted  crimes 
have  been  severely  puntihed,  while  Hog- 
ging and  profCriptloD,  and  twenty  years  of 


tbe  galleys  for  small  ofieiices,  are  in  the 
ordinary  course  of  what  is  ctadled  "  jus- , 
tice."  I 

Meanwbile  (says  M.  Faritii)  the  peopl«| 
are  not  protected  from  real  criminals. 
Never  were  the  brigandia  known  to  be  so* 
daring.  In  sptEe  of  all  the  foreign  troops 
in  the  papal  states,  tbeae  things  are  going 
on  dady  j  tbe  brigands  stop,  atrip,  and 
murder  travBllers,  and  plunder  the  small 
towns  and  villageSf  undeterred  by  all  that 
the  soldiers  can  do  to  keep  them  down, 

The  taies  in  these  papal  states  are  enor- 
mouSf  tbe  finances  and  commerce  at  tbei 
lowest  ebb,  while  smuggling  is  perpettiiJIf  I 
practised.  There  is  neither  public  nor  pH*| 
vale  security.     The  country  seems  abio«l 
lutely   without   moral   guidance — without  | 
liberty  to  do  well,  or  protection  from  evil-^ 
doers.  Factions  are  raging,  acts  of  private" 
vengeance  are  numerous.    So  much  for  the 
city  and  state  in  which  his  Holiness  has  his 
abode,  and  which  he  professes  to  govern  ! 

Witb  regard  to  the  other  Italian  states, 
things  arc  scarcely  better.     M.  Farini  ob- 
seryea  that  bis  correspondent  is  weU  awar#| 
what  Naples  was  in  1850.    Is  its  condition 
amended  ?    He  answers,  *'No.*' 

In  Tuscany,  capital  punishment  is  pro- 
claimed. Leopold  destroys  all  the  better 
institutions  he  has  framed.  Every  on« 
knows  bow  he  visits  liberty  of  conscience. 

In  Lombardy  and  Venice,  Austria  holds 
sway,  ruling  by  the  sharp  argument  of  the 
sword.  Farma  and  Modena  are  mnch 
under  Austrian  influence  also* 

Piedmont  is  tbe  blessed  exception  t  she 
preserves  free  institutions :  public  works 
proceed,  and  commerce  and  maniifac- 
tares  flourish.  Yet  is  Piedmont  watched 
jealously  by  all  her  neighbours.  A  liberal 
state,  surrounded  by  arbitrary  rulers,  can 
scarcely  be  looked  upon  with  favour ;  and 
sbe  is  also  by  no  means  regarded  witdj 
complacence  by  the  ecclesiastical  powers. 

It  is  not  M,  Farini'a  opinion  that  the  Pope 
should  be  divested  of  all  temporal  power. 
He  would  have  him  a  prince, — but  a  prince 
with  very  circumscribed  territory.  His 
Government,  he  maintains,  ought  to  be, 
just  as  maeb  as  that  of  any  other  prince, 
composed  of  laymen  ;  no  irresponsible  ec* 
olesiastic  should  have  power  either  to  defy 
the  law  or  to  execute  it,  hut  the  Pope, 
being  the  '*  Prince  of  Peace,"  ought  to 
govern  his  people  in  that  way  in  which 
the  subjects  of  &Just  ruler  are  governed. 
It  k  not  because  the  Pope  has  tern- 
poral  power  tliat  imprecations  ore  uttered 
against  him,  but  because  there  is  no  re- 
cognition of  the  separate  functions  of  the 
priest  and  of  the  ruler.  The  great,  tlie 
astounding  diflScalty,  however,  ia  how  to 
bring  about  so  vast  a  change «  "  Can  tbe

stay  at  home  when  he  would  rather  go  out 
— he  has  to  talk  when  he  would  be  silent, 
and  hold  vigils  when  longing  to  be  in  bed. 
Verily,  1  *ay,  it  is  a  miserable  life.  It  has, 
it  is  true,  its  compensations,  few,  but  sweety 
the  occaatonal  ioiercotirse  with  lofty  minds 
and  devoted  aoula;  the  glimpse  of  the  silfcr 
lining  of  the^rk  cloud,  and  the  conviction 
that  all  this  wear  and  tear  i^  smoothing  the 
way,  inch  by  inch,  towards  a  noble  and 
holy  end/' — Lorenio  Benonij  p.  245. 

Again,  *^  Seen  from  a  distance^  and 
viewed  as  a  whole,  nothing  more  striking 
lind  fnll  of  poetry  than  the  mighty  com- 
pendium of  so  many  wills  and  forces 
moved  by  one  spring,  and  working  Us 
way  in  the  dark,  through  diflficnlty  and 
danger  of  every  description,  towards  the 
noblest  and  most  legitimate  of  conquc*te, 


that  of  liberty  and  independence  !  But  tf 
from  the  contemplation  of  this  whole  you 
descend  to  observe  the  detail »,  farewell 
poetry,  and  hail  to  very  common- place 
prose!  How  much  egotism,  how  much 
littleness,  clogs  the  springs  of  this  multi- 
farious machinery/* — 244. 

The  hook  fjnm  which  we  quote  ii  heauti- 
fttlly  written,  and  has  strong  in wsrd  marks 
of  tmthfalnesS)  though  in  the  incidenti 
there  may  he  a  mixture  of  fiction.  The 
picture  of  the  lire  of  the  young  Genoese  at 
college^  of  the  various  officials^^the  well- 
drawn  characters  of  the  author's  father* 
mother,  and  uncles^^-the  enthushistic  por* 
trait  of  Fantaaio,  (about  whose  identity 
there  can  be  no  d  ouht,)  an  d  of  Cttsar,  Alfred , 
and  the  Prince,  all  fill  up  thecanvaia  bravely, 
yet  there  Is  no  crowding.  If  the  materials 
are  mostly  gleaned  from  real  life,  yet  doei 
the  author  hold  the  pen  of  a  masterly 
novelist.  How  amusing,  if  it  were  not  so 
mournful  an  anticipation  of  graver  plays  at 
government,  is  the  account  of  the  school- 
boy  **  constitution,*'  with  ita  eighteen  ar* 
ticles  1  And  how  naturally  the  idea  of  a 
republic  seemS  to  have  sprung  out  of  the 
absurdity  of  a  public  education,  which 
though  iniitituted  by  a  deapotic  govern- 
ment (as  that  of  Piedmont  was  at  this  pe- 
riod) was  entirely  republican  \ 

"  Our  indignation  against  tyrmnta  and 
our  enthusiasm  even  for  their  asaaaainSf 
seemed  to  be  purposely  eicited.  The  lub- 
jectt  given  us  for  themes  in  the  classes 
were  ever  in  this  range  of  ideas.  Some* 
times  we  were  to  hurl  the  thunder  of  our 
Latin  eloquence  upon  Ctesar  about  to  pass 
the  Rubicon.  At  others,  Brutus,  both 
elder  and  younger,  Mutius  Sctevola,  Cato, 
etc.  were  to  be  deified  in  poetry/'- — p,  60. 

In  imitalion,  we  suppose,  of  this  very 
interesting  and  successful  work,  another 
Italian  has  given  ua  a  story  called  Gas- 
tellamonte,  cast  in  the  same  mouild ;  the 
hero  here,  too,  giving  the  period  of  hia 
Bchool-lifp.  This  lifPi  however,  is  at  Parma^ 
not  ut  Genoa,  and  the  time  is  later,  namely 
in  lB3t.  It  is  not  without  merit  -,  the 
first  volume  in  particular  is  lively  and 
clever;  but  the  author  is  far  below  his 
predecessor  in  the  power  of  toninff  doum 
his  pictures.  Throughout  the  whole  of 
Lorenzo  llenoni,  indeed,  the  sweetness  of 
an  amiable  character  preponderates.  There 
ia  no  bragging,  no  boasting  or  vain-glory  ; 
no  swaggering  over  patriotism  and  liberty. 
You  feel  they  are  swelling  at  his  heart,  but 
they  do  not  make  him  brutal  towards  even 
his  country's  worst  foes.  No  work  written 
by  an  eiile  was  ever  less  personally  bttter  : 
and  therefore  has  it  done  more  for  Italian 
sufferers  perhaps  than  any  other,  except 
SUvio  Pel  lien.  As  for  M.  Cousin's  tri- 
bute to  the  memory  of  the  Count  de  Santa

I  of  the  aouth  of  Enfflatid,  with 
th«  underlying  and  over  lying  wealden  and 
efieoe  bed*,  csrposed  under  the  neatest 
▼ariety  of  circumatences^  and  affordti,  in 
the  roioantic  lea  and  land  cliffy  which  con- 
stitnte  the  chief  feature  of  the  pictnresqne 
beauty  of  the  island,  an  endlesa  variety  of 
aectiona  in  which  their  strocturc  may  he 
readily  ezamtned.  From  these  also  may 
be  obtained  an  abnudiint  supply  of  foafil 
recDaini  in  excellent  preservation.  The 
beanty  of  its  scenery,  its  ready  acccaaihility 
from  the  metropohs,  and  the  af  reeahlenesa 
of  the  climate,  render  the  Isle  of  Wight  a 
favourite  resort*  Dr.  Mantell's  *'  Excur- 
sions *'  will  be  found  a  jilpasant  and  in- 
stractive  hand-book  for  visitors.  We  ob- 
serve that  it  is  in  its  third  edition,  and  is 
pnhlibhed  as  one  of  Mr.  Bohn's  wcll-knoirn 
and  excellent  series  of  popular  scientific 
works.  We  may  hope,  therefore,  that  the 
neglect  of  the  geology  of  the  island  la- 
mented by  the  author  in  the  prt  face  to  the 
first  edition  has  ceased,  and  is  being  re- 
placed by  an  interest  which  will  tend 
equally  to  the  advancement  of  science  and 
the  gratification  and  instruction  of  the 
viiitora  themselves. 


Nw§h  and  Tal€f  hjf  G^he.  Tram- 
hU^  chiefly  by  R.  D.  Boylan,  Stq, 
(Bohn's  series,) — The  first  of  these  trans- 
lations, **  Elective  Affinities/'  ia  announced 
in  the  preface  as  beiug  contributed  by  ^*  a 
gentleman  well-known  in  the  literary  world, 
who  doe^  not  wish  his  name  to  appear.'* 
At  a  translation,  it  may  rank  among  the 
chef-d'teuvres  of  our  time.  As  to  the  de« 
fifableoeaa  of  making  the  great  German 
more  fomiliarly  known  to  English  every* 
day  readers,  through  the  translation  of 
such  a  work,  we  care  little  to  discuss  it. 
It  will  do  no  harm,  we  believe,  and  it  is 
every  way  better  that  a  man  should  not  be 
a  myth,  but  a  plain  reality,  when  be  haa 
left  abundant  materials  for  showing  him- 
self as  he  was  or  is.  The  construction  of 
the  story,  its  utter  absurdity  and  ridicu- 
lous moral  or  immoral  puzzles,  render  it 
unlikely  to  seduce  any  one  from  the  plain 

faths  of  duty  and  of  ordinary  good>Miise. 
t  is  not  GAtbe,  not  any  one  in  short  of 
the  German  novel  writers  we  know,  how- 
ever  wrong  we  may  think  them,  that  will 
do  any  harm  in  England.  It  is  the 
Eugene  Sues,  the  Georges  Sands,  that 
breathe  a  poisoned  breath  orer  our  moral 
atmosphere,  and  that  not  because  of  their 
indelicacies,  but  because  of  their  deliberate 
and  powerful  attacks  upon  alt  social  insti- 
tutions; because  they  heartlessly  knock 
aside  the  crutch  upon  which  the  cripple 
leans,  without  doing  any  thing  which  can 
enable  him  to  go  without  it. 


Lyra  AuttraliM  i  OTt  Attempts  to  Siny 
in  a  Stranyt  Land.  By  Caroline  W. 
Leakey. —Australia  b  in  many  reapectf 
an  exceedingly  queer  place.  Salt-water 
fish  Inhabit  its  Hvets  i  some  of  its  best 
looking  fruit  it  made  of  wood,  having  at 
least  its  hardness,  and  the  cherries  there 
grow  with  their  stones  not  on  the  tn  but 
on  the  oti/-side.  It  is  the  last  place  in 
the  world  where  we  shonldi  have  yet  ex- 
pected to  have  fallen  in  with  a  poet  or 
poetess.  A  sterile  place,  first  sown  broad- 
cast with  felons  and  afterwards  occupied 
by  struggling  men  essapng  to  becoitfe 
rich,  and  having  no  other  object  in  the 
world,  iii  hut  an  nop  ro  mi  sing  locaHty  for 
the  miustrcl.  But  the  truth  appears  to 
be  that  these  genernliUes  will  no  longer 
apply  to  the  wide  continent  at  the  anti- 
podes. Woman,  the  great  civilizer,  has 
established  a  home  there,  and  the  sisters 
of  song  are  not  mute  amid  sounds  of  daily 
care  and  strife,  success  and  failure.  The 
echoes  of  the  Australian  harp  have  reaefa^ 
England,  at  last,  and  they  tend  to  prove 
that  a  well-qualified  bird  can  sing  at  all 
times  and  in  all  places,  now  in  the  sun 
and  anou  in  the  shade.  In  the  pretty 
volume  before  us  we  have  mourofut  mea- 
sures illustrative  of  the  shadowi  of  Death, 
more  cheerful  strains  brightening  with 
hope,  metrical  tale«  which  esiity  wis  the 
ear,  and  miscellaneolis  poems  wherein 
mirth  alternates  with  sadness.  We  add 
one  sample  from  the  lady's  measure,  add- 
ing that  it  rather  suits  our  space  than 
does  justice  to  her  roerlta»

munications regarding  tbe  life  and  career

The  conclusion  of  Mr.  H.  H.  Brcen's 
*^  Memoir  on  the  Caribs,  or  Aboriginal 
Inhabitants  of  the  Lesser  Atitjlks,"  was 
then  read^  Tbe  writer  maintains  that 
there  is  do  foundation  for  the  charge  of

the  Caiibsj  and  considers  it  a  story  in- 
vented us  ttu  excuse  for  the  cruelty  exer- 
cised Against  that  very  interesting  and 
now  extinct  race.  The  Caribs  had  aluo 
been  represented  as  being  tnsenjiible  to 
tbe  passion  of  love  \  a  charge  which  Mr, 
Brien  considers  equally  unfounded,  and 
negatived  by  tbe  melancholy  tem|)eraaient 
of  these  people. 

Frederic  Onvry,  esq.  F.S.A.  communi- 
cated an  account  of  the  discovery  of  some 
remains  of  the  Anglo- Saxon  period  at

of  Bede*s  Ecclesiastical  History  in  which 
he  speaks  of  himself  **  qui  natua  in  Utrh

translated  by  King  Alfred  as  *^  Sunderland 
of  the  monastery/'  After  an  elaborate 
iovestigation,  Mr.  Brown  arrived  at  the 
conclusion  that  the  name  of  Sunderland 
was  applied  excluitively  to  that  part  of 
Wearmouth  which  was  aundertd  by  the 
river  Wear  from  the  actual  estate  of  the 
monastery,  and  upon  which  a  town  of 
artificers  and  others  was  formed  at  an 
early  period „  probably  in  the  seventh  cen- 
tury. It  is  remarkable  that  Webster  in 
his  Anglo-American  Dictionary  still  defines 
the  £ogliih  word  *'  territory "  in  this 
sense  :  '*  A  tract  of  land  belonging  to  and 
under  the  dominion  of  a  prince  or  state,

The  Rev.  Mr.  Hugo  exhibited  a  fine 
itone  oelt  found  in  the  bed  of  the  Thames 
in  October  last.  It  belonged  to  the  second 
diWaion  of  Mr,  Hugo's  arrangeaients  of 
those  implements  as  given  in  the  Journal 
of  the  Association.  Mr.  Gunston  laid  upon 
the  table  some  specimens  of  encaustic  tiles, 
the  oiioet  ancient  of  which  was  from  Dor- 
ehetler  Abbey »  Oxon,  and  the  latest  from 
St,  Bartholomew's,  Smithfield,  Mr,  C, 
Elliott  eihibtted  a  remarkably  fine  Roman 
▼aae,  containing  the  remains  of  an  entire 
body  after  cremation.  It  formerly  be- 
longed to  the  Rev.  Mr,  Spurgen  of  Nor* 
widb,  and  he  obtained  it  from  Cats  tor, 
Norfolk.  Mr  Elliott  ahu  txhibited  a 
Roman  terra-cotta  lamp^  in  the  centre  of 
which  a  gladiator  ia  depicted.  Mr.  Petrie 
produced  a  large  collection  rjf  keys,  spoons, 
ahesinst  a  short  sword,  knives,  &c,  obtained 
during  the  paAt  year  whilst  forming  the 
new  sewers  at  Greenwich.  They  were,  as 
might  he  expected »  of  difffreiu  periodu, 
and  among  them  were  five  tine  hpedraens 
of  keys  bctoutcing  to  the  fittt^eoth  century, 
and  a  pewter  spoon  of  the  time  of  EliEa- 
beth.  The  sword  was  considered  to  be 
also  of  that  period. 

Mr.  Scott  exhibited  two  drawings  be  had 
jast  made  of  two  Bepulchral  slabs  lately 
discovered  in  the  city,  on  the  site  of  the 
Church  of  St.  Beoetfink,  Threadneedle 
Streel,  One  of  these,  obtained  at  a  depth 
of  lit  fcct,  was  taken  out  of  the  old  foun- 
dation walls,  the  design  upon  it  being  a 
shaft  supporting  a  circle  (most  probably  a 


cross),  together  with  an  interlaced  omt- 
ment  not  onfrequently  seen  on  Saxon  or 
early  Norman  sculptures.  A  slab  resem- 
bling this  ia  engraved  in  the  xviith  vol.  of 
the  Archieologia^  and  was  found  at  Cam- 
bridge in  1810.  The  other  slab  was  dis- 
covered 50  feet  on  the  south  side  of  the 
church,  and  at  a  depth  of  15  feet  from  the 
surface*  This  had  a  raised  trefoil-beaded 
cross,  and  the  remains  of  an  inscriptioD, 
which  was  read  thus :  [Of  your  cbaritic] 
for  the  soul  of  William  Bron  pray  a  pater- 
noster, 

Mr.  H.  Syer  Cuming  read  the  first  of  a 
series  of  paper  illustrative  of  stone  irople* 
ments,  and  exhibited  a  large  snd  fine  col- 
lection of  sjiecrimcns  of  the  axe,  the  adze, 
and  hammer,  to  which  the  statements  in 
tlie  present  paper  were  confined.  He 
pointed  out  the  importance  of  carefully 
studying  the  works  of  ravage  nations  who 
still  relaia  the  use  of  stone  instruments, 
with  a  view  to  the  belter  understanding  of 
the  lithic  relics  discovered  in  the  Britannic 
i§lands ;  suggesting  that  in  the  islands  of 
the  Pacific  ocean  may  still  be  found  a 
reflex  of  the  habits  and  mode  of  life  of  our 
own  rude  ancestors.  Mr,  Cuming  de» 
scribed  in  detail  the  more  simple  form  of 
the  axe  or  celt,  making  a  distinction  be- 
tween it  and  the  adze,  which  had  been 
overlooked  by  antiquaries,  and  be  enume- 
rated the  different  kinds  of  mauls,  ajio- 
hamniers,  and  axes  with  perforation!  for 
handles,  and  closed  his  examination  of  the 
European  division  by  condemning  the 
theory  of  ThorUeiuti,  who  contended  that 
these  things  were  mere  emblems  of  the 
power  of  Tborj  the  mighty  Thunder-god 
of  the  North.  Having  alluded  to  the 
asserted  discovery  of  stone  iuiplements  in 
India,  Mr,  CucnJng  proceeded  to  view  the 
specimens  obtained  from  the  Hepukhral 
mounds  of  North  America.  The  axes, 
adxes,  &c,  of  the  savages,  of  the  Oceanic 
regions  were  also  dwelt  upon,  special  men- 
tion being  made  of  the  terrible  Meri  of 
the  New  Zealandero,  and  of  the  curiously 
hafled  ad3»s  from  the  Hcrvey's  ^roup. 
Afore  A  8,  Ralph  Bernal,  esq,  Prca* 
Mr.  Sadd  exhibited  a  Saxon  fibula  of  A 
circolar  form,  and  alio  an  enamelled  me- 
dieval badge  found  at  Cambridge.  The 
fbrm  of  the  badge,  which  lias  a  ring  for 
suspeniiion,  is  that  of  a  quatrefoil  inclosing 
a  square  in  which  on  a  blue  ground  ia  • 
lion  passant  regardant.  A  semi-fleur  de 
lis  dimidiated  per  fees  appears  in  each. 
semicircle,  the  ground  being  red;  the 
animtd,  flowers,  snd  bordenog  lines  are 
black.  It  was  conjectured  to  be  of  the 
middle  of  the  sixteenth  centnry.  Mr» 
Brent  exhibited  a  leaden  token  found  be-

PA1.E8TINK  ARCH.SOLOOIOAL 
ASSOCIATION. 

Ftb.  28.  The  first  general  moetiiig  of 
this  Association ,  the  formation  of  which 
was  noticed  in  our  last  nnmbcr,  p.  280, 
was  held  at  22,  Hurt  Street,  B loo mti bury 
Sqaare,.J>r.  I^ce  in  tbc  chair, — The  chair- 
man addressed  the  meeting  upon  the  ob- 
jects and  progress  of  the  society,  winch 
already  nujnbored  more  than  eighty  8ub> 
scribing  members,  most  of  whom  had  pre- 
sented donations  towards  carrying  out  ihe 
objects  of  the  society.  The  Rev,  Dr. 
Tnrnbiill,  one  of  the  secretaries,  thea 
exphuned  the  origin  and  principal  features 
of  the  Association  at  length. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Black  read  a  paper  *H)n  the 
necesfary  Connection  between  the  Anti* 
quities  of  Palest! oe  and  Biblical  Interpre- 
tation." 


Mr.  W,  F.  Aiusworth  read  a  paper  *♦  Oi> 
the  Primitive  Monnmeots  of  Palestine," 
in  which  he  showed  that,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  monument  discovered  by  Capt. 
Byam  Martin  on  the  west  side  of  the  Jor- 
dan, the  monolith  of  Rihah,  and  the  sap- 
posed  stone  of  Bohan,  none  of  the  primi- 
tive monuments  noticed  in  the  Holy  Wri- 
tings had  as  yet  been  discovered,  nor  had 
any  of  the  iellM,  mounds,  or  heaps  of  ruin, 
so  Qumerotis  throughout  the  country,  been 
excavated  or  explored  in  search  for  them 
or  for  other  antiquities. 

Mr,  Ains worth  read  a  paper  from  the 
Chevalier  de  Vandervclde,  who  bad  been 
recently  to  the  shores  of  the  Dead  Sea,  to 
examine  the  site  of  M.  de  Sautcy^s  sup* 
posed  discovery  of  the  ruins  of  Sodom,  and 
which  he  stated  to  be  merely  a  collection 
of  stones  rolled  down  by  the  neighbouring 
torrents. 

BXCATATIONS  AT  NlKSVlKH. 

Of  late  the  French  Govertiment  has 
made  some  renewed  attempts  in  the  en- 
virons of  Khorsabad,  The  ruins  formerly 
in  part  examined  by  M.  Botta  occupy  a 
rectangnlar  space  of  great  extent,  in  which 
at  certain  intervals  occnr  small  conical 
hills  supposed  to  mark  the  sites  of  towers 
or  fortified  gates  which  defended  the  walls. 
M.  Botta  hid  not  excavated  theie  ele- 
vations, and  M.  Place  therefore  paid  great 
attention  to  this  task.  The  first  objects 
foand  consisted  of  some  small  articles  of 
agate,  marble,  aod  cornelian,  of  such 
preservation  and  polish  as  if  they  had 
recently  issued  from  the  bands  of  the 
artist  la  another  of  the  hiUs  was  found 
a  large  staircase,  or  rather  a  series  of 
terraces,  formed  of  burnt  and  inicribed 
bricks.  Below  the  lowest  of  these  terraces 
was  a  double  muierrain^  built  with  great 
accuracy.  Excavations  made  in  the  east 
side  of  this  hilt  led  to  the  discovery  of 
brass  hinges  and  pins,  which  had  belonged 
to  doors,  of  which  nothing  but  the  metal 
and  the  stones  in  which  these  were  fixed 
remained.  M.  Place  next  arrived  at 
a  spot  which  has  received  the  name  o( 
the  Magazine  of  Pitchers.  No  adequate 
idea  can  be  formed  of  the  quantity  of  vases 
found  in  this  locality ;  they  were  of  all 
shapes  and  sizes — broad^  narrow,  com* 
pressed,  aod  contracted  at  their  oriilcc* 
Most  of  ihcoi  had  been  broken  by  the 
weight  of  the  earth  which  rested  upon 
them  ;  still  lS\.  Place  discovered  some 
which  were  perfect,  and  which  will  form  the 
nucleus  of  a  collection  of  Assyrian  ceramic 
nrt.  They  were  filled  with  clay,  which, 
however  I  had  become  an  hard  that  it  was 
impoasible  to  remove  it,  without,  in  many 
cases,  breaking  the  vases.  Some  contained 
articles  made  of  caat  copper,  amongst  which

[April, 


were  tome  heatk  of  gaxeMes,  fkithfaUy 
reeemblin^  those  repieaeated  on  the  bniBfi 
rclievi,  and  M.  Place  thinki  that  thjsy  were 
u<ed  for  baling^  out  the  wine  or  oil  con- 
tained in  the  pitchers.  On  tbe  eastern 
fitde  of  the  waIIm  is  nnotlier  tiflU  wliich 
M.  Place  cftnaed  to  be  excavated.  It  coo- 
taiaed  pitcheriif  1  m^tre  04  higbf  and  tiie 
red  precipitates  found  at  their  bottooiii 
prove  tlittt  these  hallii  vrere  the  wiue-celliirs 
of  the  old  uionarchs  of  Aiiyria.  M.  Place 
ejcamined  ail  parts  of  the  palace ^  and 
wherever  be  founi;l  the  subterranean  gal- 
lerieii,  be  perceived  tliat  the  Awyrion 
irohitectB  bad  used  both  the  pointed  and 
rotmd  arch.  M.  Place  next  directed  his 
attention  to  what  M.  Uotta  bad  euUed 
ehe  "  ruined  building/*  but  bad  left  un- 
explored. He  soon  came  to  the  coa^ 
victioQ  that,  far  from  being  a  ruined 
haildingp  this  part  of  the  palace  was  in 
the  course  of  conitruction  at  the  time  the 
whole  became  a  ruin.  On  inspecting  the 
circumvallation  of  the  city,  M.  Place  re- 
marked on  the  aoutb-weat  side  a  pretty 
high  hill»  apparently  another  unexplored 
mound  of  the  aamc  fixe,  and  equalling  in 
extent  of  area  that  ot  the  large  palace. 
But  it  is  not  a  single  palace  or  palaces 
wbicb  await  farther  esLamination,  but  a 
whole  Asayriaa  city  may  yet  be  diacovered 
and  exbujned. 

At  a  mountain  called  Maltai,  being  one 
of  the  range  dividtng  the  plains  lying 
beyond  the  first  tier  of  the  MesopotaLinian 
iDouutiutiSt  on  long  rangei  of  perpendicular 
rock,  resembling  waits  built  by  nature, 
have  been  discovered  large  incised  bassi* 
relievi,  containing  thirty-two  figure?,  1  m. 
3J  in  height.  They  comprise  three  com- 
partments, and  represent  persons  standing 
in  rows,  and  holding  in  their  bandlB 
the  staff  of  command,  crowns  or  rings, 
branches  of  trees,  &c,  ;  they  are  ideated  on 
the  backs  of  animals,  bulla  or  lions, — not 
resembling  those  of  Kborsabad,  as  they 
have  neither  wings  nor  haman  heads  and 
tiaras.  The  hill  of  Baviao,  north-east  of 
Khorsabad,  possesses  also,  like  that  of 
Maltai,  a  number  of  these  basst-relieTi  cut 
in  the  rock.  They  arc  undoubtedly  the 
work  of  Assyrian  artists  [  and  amongst 
them  is,  nearly  on  the  top  of  the  hiU,  a 
sculpture,  divided  into  nine  compartments, 
njpreaenttog  figures  of  Assyria  a  king«, 
or  natural  size,  and  resembliog  those 
at  Kborsabad.  Four  of  these  hgitros, 
being  out  of  reach,  are  in  a  fine  state  of 
fMTtservation. 


AllTlUVITiet»  Of  ROMI. 

In  laying  the  foundation  for  the  Pas- 
lioQtst  Convent  at  the  Scala  Santa,  have 
been  lately  discovered  some  stibstructures 
of  the  ancient  Lateran  Palace  conferred 
by  Constaotine  on  the  Popes^  conaiderable 
remains  of  which  existed  in  the  time  of 
Sixtus  V,,  but  were  IcTellcd  with  iha 
ground  for  the  construction  of  Iha  building 
destined  to  contain  the  holy  stairs — the 
chapel,  now  called  '*  Sancta  Sanctoram," 
alone  excepted.  A  bath  and  its  conduits, 
a  well,  still  supplied  with  water,  and  va- 
rious small  chambers,  arc  here  distin- 
guishable by  the  fragments  of  walls,  at 
the  height  of  one  or  t«o  feet,  in  fUman 
brickwork  of  tbe  best  description  ;  fluted 
columns  and  Corinthian  capitals  of  white 
marble  lie  strewn  in  fragments,  very  im- 
perfect ;  bat  the  nioiit  valuable  diseoterf 
is  an  ancient  mosaic,  forming  tlia  pave* 
ment  of  a  hall,  and  measuring  60^  by  d6 
palms — therefore  the  largest  Roman  mosaic 
unbroken  into  fragments  yet  brought  to 
light  I  i^ot,  however,  that  it  is  preserved 
intact,  having  sunk  into  holes,  now  filled 
with  water,  in  more  than  one  place.  The 
material  i^  marble,  of  grey,  yellow,  and 
green  tints,  mixed  with  red  porphyry  :  tba 
design,  a  series  of  octagotis  with  decorated 
borders,  and  oblongs  presenting  the  oma- 
men'tal  pattern  resembling  interwoven  rib- 
bons of  various  colours,  known  by  the 
term  **  £tniscaD  meaodera."  Of  tbe  oc- 
tagons there  are  forty-eight,  four  con* 
tainiog  heads,  male  and  female,  which  are 
merely  expressed  by  inlaid  outlines,  with 
an  intermixture  of  marble  and  smalt »  the 
others  containing  designs  in  flowers  and 
foliage  gracefully  conceived,  one  in  ^e 
form  of  A  floral  cross  most  frequently  re- 
peated. This  mosaic  will  be  removed,  and 
placed  in  tlte  Late  ran  Museum.  Viaconti 
has  published  a  learned  report  of  these 
excavations  in  the  official  papers.  He  has 
since  aDnoimced  the  diacoirery,  on  the 
Fiame  i^pot,  of  two  silver  coins,  with  the 
names  of  Leo  IV.  and  the  Emperor  Lo- 
thatre,  expressed  in  quaint  monograms, 
that  of  the  emperor  having  tbe  letter  H,as 
names  now  written  with  the  initial  L  are 
said  to  have  been  anciently  written  HL, 
to  indicate  the  gutterai  pronunciation 
then  given  them  \  also  a  leaden  &ti/i4,  or 
the  seal  appended  to  papal  edicts,  tlumea 
called  ^*  bulls,'"  with  the  name  of  Cdestine 
III.,  and  heads  of  Saints  Peter  and  Pasd 
on  the  reverse.

correapODdence  betweeu  Sir  G.  HainlU 
lati  Sefmuur  and  the  English  ForeigQ 
'  Office,  ia  which  the  whole  tnitia«etion  ap- 
pemrs  in  dfttaiL  It  appean  that  coniiden- 
i  tial  ooinmanicatioue  were  made  p«rsot]nllv 
by  the  Bmperor  Nicholas  to  thr*  Englisii 
representative,  to  the  effect  that  Hie  Turk- 
iflh  Empire  was  in  the  condition  of  a  sick 
man,  who  might  die  at  any  moment,  and 
that  it  vras  desirable  an  uuderstanding 
ihould  be  arrived  at  between  Rusiia  and 
EngUod  as  to  the  course  to  be  adopted  in 
t  of  its  dissohitioni  thathd  should  not 
pit  the  establishmant  of  an  indt'pendent 
Empire,  or  that  any  other  Power 
_^__^  letse  Constantinople,  but  that  he 
wottld  not  occiipy  it  except  provisianftliy. 
He  also  stated  that  he  should  mfike  no 
objection  to  England  taking  po&s«>ssion  of 
Egypt  and  Candia,  and  that  he  was  sure 
!  coDi«ot  of  Austria,  and  was  indif- 
|t  as  to  the  view  which  iniglit  be  taken 
ance,  provided  England  and  Russia 
f^ire^S  agreed.  To  tliia  it  waa  replied  by 
Ix»rd  J*  Russell,  and  afterward  Lord  Cla- 
rendon, that  they  h  id  no  reason  lo  thtok 
Ihat  tblb  ease  of  Turkey  was  so  desperate, 
^«Qy  such  amn^ements  as  were  pro* 
1  by  the  Emperor  were  the  surcit  way 

ng  about  the  catastrophe  which  wof 

flrcsded,  and  that  the  Enghsh  government 
desired  no  accession  of  territory. 

It  U  stated  by  the  Moniteur  tbHi  suh- 

aequently  to  these  communications  simUar 

OTertnrtii  were  made  through  the  medium 

'of  Baron  Kisseltff  to  the  Emperor  Napo^ 

leoQ  with  the  same  result. 

On  the  'iUh  of  Feb.  a  formal  mromons 
Was  despatched  to  the  Emperor  of  Russia 
I  liy  the  govern m en  ta  of  France  and  Eoglind, 
'  ealHng  upon   bim  to   give  a  promise   to 
e?acaute  the  principalities  by  the  AOiU  of 
,  Aprils  aud  recjniring  him  to  give  nn  answer 
within  fix  days  ot  the  receipt  of  thet  com- 
mumcfttion.      Immediately  upon  its  re- 
ceipt, however,  the  English  and  French 
Consuls  were  informed  by  Count  Neseel- 
rode  that  DO  anawer  would  be  given. 

A  Declaration  of  War  appeared  on  the 
2<^th  of  Maroh  in  the  Supplement  t^  the 


London  Oaaette,  The  docnment  goes  tt 
considerable  length  ioto  the  history  of 
the  transactions  which  have  ended  in  the 
present  rupture.  It  states  that  Her  Ma- 
jesty had  assiiited  in  promoting  an  arrange- 
ment by  which  justice  was  done  to  the 
complaints  of  the  Emperor  of  Russia  with 
respect  to  the  holy  places.  That  the 
Russian  govemmrnt,  contrary  to  its  ansu'' 
ranees  given  to  Her  Majesty,  made  de- 
mands upon  the  Sultan,  winch  substituted 
the  Emperor  of  Russia's  authority  for  his 
own,  over  a  large  portion  of  his  subjeetSf 
and  enforced  those  demands  with  a  threat. 
That  in  consequence  Her  Muje«ty  thought 
proper  that  her  fleet  ehould}  in  co-opera~ 
tion  wftli  that  of  the  Emperor  of  the 
French,  advance  to  the  neighbourhood  of 
the  Dardaueltest  That  this  advance  was 
not  prior,  but  snbjiequent,  to  the  reaolu- 
tion  of  the  Russian  Emperor  to  invade 
the  principal i ties  ;  the  menace  of  invasion 
haTing  been  conveyed  in  Count  Nesscl- 
rode*s  note  to  Redachid  Pasha  of  the  19th 
(31st)  of  May,  and  rc-star^d  in  his  desjiatch 
to  Baron  Brunow  of  the  20th  of  May  (1st 
of  June),  which  announced  the  intention 
to  occupy  the  principalities,  if  the  Porte 
did  not  within  a  week  comply  with  the 
demAudji  of  Russia  i  while  the  despatch  to 
Her  Majesty's  ambassador,  authorising 
him  to  send  for  the  fleet,  was  dated  the 
31st  of  May,  and  the  order  to  the  Admiral 
to  proceed  to  the  Dardanelles  wia  dated 
the  2nd  of  June.  The  declaration  goei 
en  to  relate  the  attempts  wadei  in  con- 
junction with  the  sovereigns  of  Anstria, 
France*  and  Prussia,  to  maintain  and  tub* 
sequcntly  to  restore  peace,  and  concludes  by 
Htatiug  that  thoee  having  been  ineffeotnali 
and  the  Emperor  ^f  i?M^.^iJi  lu-ing  manifently 
bent  on  the  do  T  the  Ottoman 

Empire,  Her  M  _      _  called  upon  to 

take  up  arms,  in  conjunction  with  the 
Emperor  of  the  Freneb,  for  the  defence  of 
her  ally  the  Snltao,  and  to  save  Europe 
from  the  preponderance  of  a  power  which 
has  violated  the  faith  of  treaties,  and 
defies  the  opinion  of  the  civilised  world* 

The  English  division  of  tlie  army  for 
the  East  is  intended  to  consist  of  abont 
35,000  men  under  the  command  of  Liord

The  Address  in  the  House  of  Lords 
Wfis  moved  by  the  Earl  of  Camarron,  and 
sccouded  by  iJie  Earl  of  Ducie ;  that  In 
the  CommoDis  was  mared  by  Lord  Castle- 
roise  and  Beconded  by  Mr*  Tlioiiison 
H&okey ;  and  both  were  carried  without  a 
dlvisioo. 

On  the  13th  Feb.  Lord  John  Ruascll 
brought  forward  his  Rkporm  B[ll  in  the 
Houee  of  Commons.  Its  pl&a  ts  briery 
this : — Boroughs  with  leas  than  300  irotcrs 
in  a  pormltttioii  of  5,000  persons,  are  to 
}»  deprived  of  their  members,  and  bo- 
rotigha  with  less  than  ^'iOO,  or  Icbb  than 
10,000  inhabitants,  are  to  be  deprived  of 
one  member.  Sixty-two  seats  will  thus 
be  created.  'Hie  West  Riding  of  York- 
flbire  and  Sotith  Lancashire  are  to  be 
divided  into  two  parts,  each  of  which  is 
to  return  three  members,  and  an  additional 
member  is  to  be  given  to  each  county  and 
town  ooutaiiiing^  more  than  100,000  ioha- 
bitantf.  But  in  these  cases  the  electors 
arc  to  yote  for  two  of  the  candidates 
only,  so  that  when  the  minority  ex- 
ceeds two-fifths  of  the  constituency,  the 
minority  will  return  one  representative. 
Additions  are  to  be  made  to  the  re  pre - 
sentiition  of  the  metropolis,  and  Kensing- 
ton and  Chelsea  united  are  to  return  two 
members*  The  Inns  of  Court  are  to  return 
two*  and  the  University  of  London  one. 
In  counties,  the  franchise  is  to  be  lowered 
to  10/,  All  pei^ons  in  the  receipt  of  100/. 
lb-year,  who  have  50/.  in  any  Savings  Bank, 
wbo  enjoy  dividends  of    10/.   on  Baok

THE  ECCLEaiA8TlCAL  COMMISSION, 

The  sixtli  general  report  of  the  Ecclesl* 
ftstieal  Commisf loners  givet  a  detailed  ac-  , 
count  of  their  proceedings  duKog  the  yeaV- J 
ending  Nov,  1,  18&3.      During  the  yeatj 
two  prelates,  the  Archbujhop  of  York  aa4  j 
the  Bishop  of  Peterborough,  have   coo-] 
scoted  to  receive  fixed  instead  of  ^uctOat- 1 
ing  incomes,  and  to  pay  over  to  the  Cpm* 
mi&sion   any  surplus   of    their    reventiei| 
beyond  the  amount  fixed  by  law  at  thai 
proper  income  of  the  see.      Tbeae  tw^J 
prelates,  having  been  appointed  prior  tqj 
1848,  could  not  have  been  compelled  itf\ 
make   this   arrangement*      The   coma  " 
sioner*  received  during  the  year  25,497 f»] 
in  respect  of  epi&copal  revenues,  51,183^1 
from  capitular  revenues,  and  4ti,.>l)2/.  froa  I 
estates  vested  in  the  commLssion.    AmoncJ 
the  year's  payments  are — to  augmentei|J 
sees  38,574/.,  chapters  9,3G4/.,  archdea^l 
conriea  4,6?3/.,  livings  80,813/.  The  total  I 
number   of    benefices    permanently   au^f 
mented  by  the  commiasioners  is  now  850| 
with  a  population  of  2,337,127,  and  the 
annunl  grants  amount  to  4b',  160/.  in  per- 
petuity.    There  have  also  been  *41  dis- 
tricts constituted   by  the  comtnlssioaera 
under   Sir  R.   Peers  Act  of    1843*  theJ 
nggrcgatc  population  being  8M,370;   of  J 
those  districts,  183  have  been  already  pro^  J 
Tided  with  churches,  and  have  become  new  ] 
parishes ;  and  the  permanent  annual  charge 
upon  the  funds  of  the  commission  i»  re- 
spect of  districts  and  new  parishes  la  now 
34,246/.     There  are  two  special  funds^  oil 
which  the  commissionera  also  render  aiij 
account.      One  is  called   the   **  Maltbf 
Fund,'*  and  is  constituted  of  *'  the  Biiho|^*1 
of  Durham^s  benefactions  ;^*  his  Lordshi|[] 
paid  over  2,456/.  last  year,  and   has  no 
altogether  paid   14,162/«^  the  amount 
applied  towards  the  erection  of  parson 
houses  in  the  diocese.     The  other  fua4 
arises  from  a  munificent  devise  of  estate 
by  the  late  Air.  Henry  Gaily  Kuigbt 
the  erection  of  churches  or  endowment  i 
smalt  Uvings ;  a  qnestion  arose  as  to  the 
validity  of  the  devise,  but  an  arrangemeat 
has  been  come  to,  and  the  commi^ionersJ 
have  about  37,000/.  from  this  source,  anil 
intend  to  apply  it  in  grants  towarda  pn»* 
riding  parsonage  houaes.

ffif  Londonderry  with  Lady  FrancL*a  Pratt, 
Idanghtcr  of  Charles  ilrst  Eurl  Camden 
Ifnd  Lord  Chancellor  of  England,  He 
l|Vii4  bom  on  the  I8th  of  May,  1778,  in 
I jdiry- street,  Dublin. 

When  tittle  more  than  fourteen  yeara 
T  age  he  received  a  comiDLs^ion  oa  Ensign 

I  the  lOBth  Foot,  in  which  he  was  ap- 

Jointed  to  a  company  in  1794,  and  in 
tme  of  that  year  he  joined  the  expedition 
'  under  the  Earl  of  Moira,  deatined  to  re- 
lliere  the  Duke  of  York  from  the  perilous 
I  litaation  in  which  he  was  placed  after  the 
I  reduction  of  Ypres,  the  defeat  of  General 
f  Plerfayt,  and  the  taking  of  Charleroy. 
I  Captain  Stewart  was  appointed  Assij^tant 
I  Quartermaster  -  general  to  that  division 
,  of  the  forces  which  landed  at  fele  Dieu, 
I  finfier  General  Doyle ;  and  after  the  re- 
[turn  of  the  British  array  he  was  attached 
I  to  Col.  Charles  Crawford's  miaiion  to  the 
I  Austrian  armies  in  179^>,  17f)f),  and  17^7. 
[At  the  battle  of  Douauwert  he  was 
[irouoded  by  a  musket-ball,  which  entered 
I  his  face  under  the  eye,  went  through  his 
Dose,  and  was  extracted  on  the  opposite 
Ljide*  This  wouud  was  received  whilst 
I  charging  with  aome  heavy  Austrian  caralry 
I  that  were  driven  back  by  the  French  Hns- 
l^iars.  In  a  senseteaa  state  he  was  carried 
r|»ack  to  the  village  of  Donauwert,  where 
llie  was  put  into  a  cart  with  some  wounded 
ans,  and  in  tliat  condition  cooTeyed 
(rear. 


On  his  return  home  be  was  appointed 
Aide  de*camp  to  his  uncle  Earl  Caniden, 
then  Lord  Lieutenant  of  Ireland.  He 
had  succeeded,  on  the  31st  July  1795t  to 
the  majority  of  the  106th  Foot ;  and  on 
the  1st  Jan.  1797  he  was  promoted  to  a 
Liout.'Colonelcy  in  the  3th  Drogoons.  A 
letter  from  General  Robert  Dundas  is  ex- 
tant (and  printed  in  the  Royal  Military 
Calendar,  lg'20f  toI.  ti.  p,  412),  in  wliich, 
after  tipeakiag  of  the  5th  Dragooni  as 
having  been,  when  encamped  in  the  Cur- 
ragh  of  Kildare,  under  his  commandi  as 
**  the  worst  of  all  possible  bad  regimepts," 
he  acknowledges  the  great  improvement 
that  had  taken  place  under  the  immediate 
command  of  Colonel  Stewart,  and  adds, 
'^  You  possess  the  characteristic  powers 
that  are  necesMry  to  make  a  good  officer  ; 
and  I  am  perfectly  convinced  that  hnd  the 
Tith  Dragoons  remained  in  Ireland  under 
your  direction,  they  would  soon  have  be- 
come the  best  regiment  of  cavalry  in  this 
country.*'  Lieut. 'Colonel  Stewart  served 
with  the  5th  Dragoons  during  the  Irith 
rebellioD  ;  but,  notwithstanding  its  partial 
improvement,  its  insubordination  con- 
tinued 80  great  that  it  was  shortly  after 
disbanded,  at  the  representation  of  the 
Lord  Lieulcmmt. 

In  connection  with  Ibis  measure  of 
severity,  Lieut.*  Culonel  Stewart  received 
a  marked  proof  of  the  Royal  bvour  as  ex- 
tended towards  himself.  He  was  six  days 
after  appoiuted  to  the  Lieut. -Colonelcy  of 
the  l@th  Light  Drag;cona,  which  was  then 
made  a  regiment  of  Hussars.  His  activity 
was  distinguished  in  (Completing  and  ren- 
dering efficient  this  corps,  which  had  been 
previously  reduced  to  a  skeleton ;  and  in 
1799  he  accompanied  two  squadrons  of  it 
in  Sir  Ralph  Abercromby's  expedition  to 
Holland.  During  this  campaign  Lieut*- 
Coloncl  Stew  art  wn^  again  wounded  in  the 
head,  whilst  at  the  outposts  near  Scbagen- 
burg,  A  ball  struck  the  gla^s  he  was  look' 
iDg  through,  which  it  broke  ;  but  the  tube 
turned  the  force  of  the  baJli  which  had 
otherwise  proved  fataL 

On  the  ^.'ith  Sept.  1803  he  was  ap- 
pointed  Aide>de-camp  to  his  Majesty,  with 
the  rank  of  Colonel,  and  soon  afterwards 
be  occupied  for  a  time  the  situation  of 
Under  Secretary  of  State  in  the  Wer 
department. 

He  left  that  situation  to  assume  the 
command  of  a  brigade  of  Hussars  under 
Sir  John  Moore,  in  Portugal,  where  be 
was  to  act  with  the  rank  of  Brigadier- 
General.  On  the  advance  of  the  army  into

18^*3     OunuAKY, —  The  Mavtimnit  oj  Londomlut'ty,  K.G.  4l7 


I  tl^  the  tide  of  Baron  Stewart ;  ami 
^on  the  25th  of  the  same  month  he  was  ap- 
pointed a  Lord  of  tbo  Bedchamber,  which 
of^cc  he  continued  to  hold  until  Auj.  1827. 
On  the  ^7 1  h  J  ul  y  J  8 1 4 ,  he  WM  awo  rn  a  Privy 
CouDcillm%     This  wag  on  oc<»5ioa  of  his 
being  appoioted  amboseador  to  Austria ; 
I  a^nd  on  the  lltb  August,  together  with  hit 
brother   Lord   Caatlereagh,   the   Earl   of 
^Ciaocarty^  and  Enrl  Cathcart,  be  waa  con- 
ed one  of  the  PlenipotCDtiaries  on  the 
of  Great  Britain  to   the  Congress  of 
iDB,    the   Duice  of  WelUoglon   heioi^ 
Tsuhsequcntly  added  as  Firat  Pleaipotentiary 
^<f)ii  the  ISth  Jan.  1B15. 

On  the  melancholy  death  of  his  half- 
brother  Robert  the  second   Marquess  of 
I  Londonderry,  then  Preialer,  on  the  l^th 
I  Aug,  1822,  Lord  Stewart  succeeded  to  the 
'  dtgnitiea  conferred  on  their  father  iu  the 
peeraifc    of    Irelaod ;   and    on    the    2Sth 
of  March,  1823,  he  was  adTsaced  to  the 
dij^Dltiea  of  Earl  Vane  and  Viseount  Sea- 
iyiliaiD,  in  the  peerage  of  the  United  King* 
i^dom,  with  special  remainder  to  his  issue 
Lrmalc  by  his  second  wife,  in  right  of  whom 
\ht     had   previously    assumed   the    name 
ind  arms  of  Vane.     His  second  marriage, 
[  to  PranGes-Anoet  only  ilaun^hterand  heiress 
nf  Sir   Harry   Vane  Tempest   (by  Anne 
LCkiUQtesa  of  Antrim),  had  taken  place  on 
[Uat  3rd  April  1819. 

Tile  immense  poaaessious  to  which  this 
I  lady  waa  heiress,  together  with  the  fact  of 
ber  being  a  ward  in  Chancery,  nttracted, 
;  the  tim€,  a  great  degree  of  public  in- 
[  tereit,    Tlie  responsibilities  devolf  ed  upon 
.Lord  Londonderry  by  the  management  of 
the  property  of  hits  bride,  embracing  a  con- 
alderable  portion  of  the  county  of  Durham, 
i  and  including  some  of  the  most  important 
I  coal-mines  in  Uic  country,  opened  a  new 
l^Hctd  for  the  exercttie  of  energies  which  the 
asatioQ  of  war  had  thrawn  into  tempo- 
Ijrary  inaction.     His  lordahip  applied  liim- 
■elf  with  a  rigorous  activity,  which  formed 
<me  of  his  characteristics,  to  the  develop- 
jnent  of  the  vast  resources  of  the  e&tatca  ; 
juid  iu  this  sphere  of  exertion  exhibited 
ftn  enterfirise  and  souud  judgment,  the 
.fruits  of  which  will  be  permanently  en- 
[joyed  by  his  successors*    Among  the  great 
,  works  of  improvement  which  Lord  Lon- 
donderry planned  and  carried  out  to  com- 
pletion, was  the  construction  of  Seaham 
harbour,  an  undertaking  almost  unprece- 
dented as  an  instance  of  private  enterprise,^ 
11  nd  justly  accounted  amongst  the  wonders 
of  engineering  achievemciils,     1 1  was  com- 
pleted in  1H47. 

The  Marquess  of  Londonderry  on  se- 
veral occasions  came  forward  as  an  author. 
In  1B05  he  pnbliahed  Suggestions  for  the 
Improvement  of  the  Force  of  the  British 
Empire;  and  in  1828  A  Narrative  of  tlie 
GiNT.  Mag.  Vol,  XLL 


Penimiilar  War,  1B08— 1813.  ito.  lo 
which  he  is  believed  to  have  had  the  as- 
sistance of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Gleig,  now  Chap- 
lain to  the  Forces*  More  recently  he 
conferred  au  important  boon  on  English 
history  by  the  pubhcation  of  the  Corre- 
spondence of  his  brother,  Robert  Marquess 
of  Londonderry,  K.G. 

During  the  short  administration  of  Sir 
Robert  Peel  in  1835  the  Marquess  of  IjOU- 
dondcrry  was  nominated  for  Ambaa&ador 
to  Russia ;  but  some  difficulties  which 
arose,  upon  a  motion  of  Mr*  Shiel  in  the 
House  of  Commons,  occasioned  his  relin- 
quishment of  this  appointment. 

In  politics  Lord  Londonderry  was  always 
attached  to  the  Tory  party.  He  was  lat- 
terly a  strong  opponent  of  the  propofted 
abolition  of  the  Vice-Royalty  of  Ireland. 
He  hsd  formed  relations  of  intimacy  with 
the  present  Emperor  of  the  French  when 
an  exile  in  this  country,  and  effectually 
exerted  himself  to  mitigate  the  rigours  of 
Louis-Nspoleon's  imprisonment  in  the  for- 
treas  of  Ham.  In  return,  he  solicited,  and 
obtained,  from  Louis-Napoleon  the  release 
of  Abd.el-Kader. 

Lord  Stewart  vvi3.s  nominated  to  the  com*^ 
mand  of  the  UUh  Hussars  on  the  3d  Feb. 
1820^  When  holding  thatappoiatmeut  he 
fought  a  duel  with  Mr.  Battier*  a  cornel; 
ia  the  regiment,  to  whose  complaints  of 
arrogant  and  contemptuous  conduct  in  hii 
brother  officers  he  had  refused  to  attend. 
Subsequently,  in  184U,  in  consequence  of 
a  speech  which  he  had  made  in  the  House 
of  Lords,  he  was  challenged  by  Mr.  Henry 
G rattan,  M.P.  for  Meath  coanty,  and  again 
obeyed  the  call  of  honour. 

On  the  10th  Jan.  1837,  he  atUined  th« 
rank  of  General  in  the  army  ;  and  in  June, 
1843,  on  the  death  of  Earl  Catbcarl,  he 
was  removed  to  the  command  of  the  2d 
Life  Guards.  In  IB^i,  during  the  short 
administration  of  the  Esrl  of  Derby,  he 
was  decorated  with  the  insignia  of  the 
order  of  the  Garter,  which  had  become 
vacant  by  the  death  of  the  Duke  of  Wel- 
lington. 

The  M&rquess  of  Londonderry  died  from 
the  effects  of  a  sudden  attack  of  influenza, 
which  proved  too  severe  for  a  constitution 
already  weakened  by  the  natural  decay  of 
age.  His  death  was  free  from  pain,  and 
his  la»t  moments  were  solaced  by  the  pre- 
sence of  nearly  all  the  members  of  his 
family,  including  his  youngest  daughter, 
and  his  sister  Viscountess  Hardinge. 

On  the  evening  of  Monday,  Mnrch  13, 
his  body  was  removed  from  Holdernesse 
House  to  the  terminus  of  the  Great  North- 
ern Railway  at  King's  Cross,  preparatoiy 
to  its  conveyance  to  the  North.  His 
three  sons  and  other  relatives  attended.

The  Maater^'s  occupation  and  intereat  in 
the  affain  of  hit  own  college  did  not  inter- 
fere with  hia  atleotian  to  those  of  the  iint  • 
versity.  At  the  meetings  of  the  Hcbdoiu* 
adal  Board,  in  the  oMce  of  Vice- Chancellor 
from  1B24  to  1828,  in  the  Delegacies  of 
the  Press  and  of  AccotinCs,  he  distinguished 
himself  by  regular  and  punctual  applica- 
tion  to  business,  by  prudent  counsel,,  by 
gentlemanlike  courtesy,  and  by  unswerving 
uprightness. 

When  the  Deanery  of  Wells  became 
vacant  in  1845,  by  the  death  of  Dr,  Good- 
enough,  Sir  Robert  Peel,  at  that  time 
Prime  Minister,  fixed  his  eye  on  the  Mas- 
ter of  Balliol,  as  entitled,  for  his  academi- 
cal merits  and  services^  to  a  mark  of  royal 
favour;  but  refrained  from  making  the 
offer  until  be  bad  satisfied  himself  tlmt 
promotion  to  the  deanery  would  not  have 
the  effect  of  removing  the  Master  from 
Balliol  and  from  Oxford.  The  preferment, 
at  length  tendered  in  the  moat  handsome 
manner,  had  peculiar  recommendations 
for  Dr.  Jcnkyns,  from  personal  and  family 
associations  with  the  county  of  Somerset 
and  the  Church  of  Wells  i  hut<waa,  at  the 
same  time,  regarded  by  him  ai  an  occasion 
uf  augmented  responsibility  and  a  call  to 
fresh  activity  and  zeal  in  the  cause  of  sa- 
cred learning  and  reUgion.  He  has  siuoe 
divided  each  ycax  between  Oiford  and 
Wclk,  coDscientioualy  diicbarging  every 
duty  of  his  important  stations  \  and  leav- 
ing behind,  at  both  places,  a  memory 
which  will  belong  aud  gratefully  cherished. 

Dr.  Jenkyns,  we  believe,  has  left  a 
widow  and  children. 

His  sister  is  Mrs.  Gaisford,  the  wife  of 
the  Dean  of  Christchurch, 

Dr,Jeak  jus's  funeral  took  place  at  Wells, 
on  the  13th  March  :  the  choir,  which  has 
long  been  closed  on  account  of  the  restora-

fery  rapid Ij  to  the  bif^beat  ofllcea  con-

became  Totor  almoat  immediatelj  after 
taking  bit  M,A.  degree  in  1H22,  and  8nb- 
Rector  a  few  yrara  later.  Thrae  oflicea 
be  retained  till  the  Tear  185Jif  when  the 
living  of  Hnahey,  in  Hertfordthire,  becom- 
Ing  vacant,  be  accepted  it,  and  exchanged 
college  life  for  the  labooni  of  a  conntrj

Elizabeth,  daughter  of  the  Rev.  J.  W. 
Baugh,  Chancellor  of  Briitol,  and  the  aifter 
Of  a  college  pupil,  the  Rev.  Folliott  Baugh, 
aome  time  Fellow  of  All  8ouU*,  and  now 
Vicar  of  CheUfleU,  Kent.  This  lady  be 
unfortunately  loat,  by  death,  in  the  fol- 
lowing year. 

Dr.  Richarda  remained  but  a  abort  time 
at  Buiheyt  for  in  the  year  1838,  on  the 
death  of  the  Rector  of  Exeter,  Dr.  Jonea, 
be  waa  elected,  after  a  abarp  contest,  to 
the  vacant  headship,  to  whicli  is  attached 
the  vicarage  of  Kidlington  witl^  Water 
Eaton. 

He  was  api)ointed  a  Select  Preacher  in 
the  univemity  in  1853,  and  at  the  time  of 
bis  death  he  waa  a  Delegate  of  Accounts. 
Ho  had  formerly  filled  the  office  of  Public 
Examiner  in  IHSH. 

In  the  important  positions  of  Head  of 
a  large  college  and  member  of  the  Hebdo- 
madal Hoard,  Dr.  Riohards  succeeded  in 
gaining  the  esteem  and  respect  of  all.  Very 
conscientious,  and  therefore  not  very  rapid 
in  the  conduct  of  business — very  strict, 
and,  perhaps,  a  little  over-preciiie  in  his 
regard  for  forms,  he  yet,  l)y  his  singleness 
of  purpose,  his  straightforward  and  un- 
flinchiiig  honesty,  his  freedom  from  all 
disguise  or  arrih'$  peruie,  and  hia  paina- 
taking  laboriousness,  made  himself  re- 
garded as  one,  alike  in  college  and  univer- 
aity  mntters,  on  whom  all  could  thoroughly 
depend,  and  with  whose  aid  none  could 
diHpensc.  Despite  the  difTerencos  of  the- 
ological opinion  which  soparattnl  him  from 
the  bulk  of  his  colleagues,  ho  waa  placed 
up(»n  almost  nil  rommitties,  and  looked  to 
in  almost  all  husinoss  of  importance.  The 
oourtrousness  of  his  manners  caused  bis 
•election  f^om  among  the  body  of  Heada 


of  Houaea  for  consexioD  with  tbe  Court, 
and  in  tbe  office  of  Cbaplain  to  Prioea 
Albert  he  offered  to  tbe  highest  cirdea  in 
tbe  realm  a  favourable  spedmctt  of  tbe 
Oxford  dignitary.  Simple  and  qoiat  ia  bia 
deneaooar,  kind  and  gentle  in  bia  treat- 
ment of  those  dependent  on  bim,  bonaat 
and  firm  in  his  assertion  of  those  priaei- 
plea  which  be  believed  to  be  tnie,  nn- 
weariedly  aaaiduoua  in  tbe  diacbarge  of 
every  duty  which  belonged  to  bim,  be 
carriea  to  the  grave  tbe  heartfelt  affe<^ion 
of  many,  and  tbe  deep  respect  of  all.  It 
will  not  be  caaily  to  supply  hia  place, 
ettber  in  the  college  over  which  he  ao  auo- 
eesafnlly  presided,  or  in  tbe  board  to  wbieh 
he  gave  such  frequent  aid.  Had  hia  health 
allowed  him  to  accept  the  office  of  Vioe- 
Chaocellor  at  the  laat  vacancy,  and  bad  be 
been  spared  to  inaugurate  the  new  ayatcm 
which  is  now  dawning  on  the  Univeralty, 
we  should  have  looked  with  confidence— 
we  say  this  without  reflecting  upon  others 
— to  see  the  changes  introduced  without 
those  difficulties  and  chances  of  collision 
which  now  cloud  the  University  horixon. 

The  funeral  of  Dr.  Richarda  took  place 
in  Exeter  College  Chapel,  on  Tneaday  the 
7th  of  March.  The  Undergraduatea  of 
tbe  College  formed  the  first  part  of  the 
proceaaion,  preceding  the  coffin,  the  pall 
being  borne  by  the  following  Fellows  :— 
vix.  Mr.  P.  A.  Kingdon,  the  Rev.  J.  P. 
Tweed,  the  Rev.  F.  Fansbawe,  tbe  Rev. 
H.  Low,  the  Rev.  W.  Ince,  Mr.  C.  W. 
Boase,  Mr.  George  Ridding,  and  tbe  Rev. 
T.  H.  Shqipard.  Immediately  in  front  of 
tbe  bier  were  the  Rev.  W.  Andrews,  Sub- 
Rector,  and  the  Rev.  W.  W.  Woollcombe, 
the  Senior  Fellow  in  residence.  Imme- 
diately after  it  followed  the  relations  and 
connexions  of  the  deceaaed :  Mr.  U.  Fur- 
neaux.  Fellow  of  Corpus,  and  his  brother, 
nephews  of  the  deceaaed ;  the  Rev.  Upton 
Richards,  of  Margaret  Chapel,  London;

the  Rev.  W.  D.  Furneaux,  the  Rev.  R. 
Martin,  the  Rev.  T.  Furneaux,  &c.  After- 
wards came  the  Vice  -  Chancellor,  the 
Warden  of  Wadham,  the  Principal  of  Mag- 
dalen Hall,  and  the  Regius  Professor  of 
Divinity  (the  two  last  being  former  Fellows 
of  the  College) ;  then  such  of  the  actual 
Fellowa  aa  were  not  pall-bearera ;  and 
finally,  a  largo  body  of  persons,  formerly 
Fellows  of  the  College,  or  personal  friends 
of  the  late  Rector.  Dr.  Richarda  waa  in- 
terred, aeconliog  to  his  desire,  by  the  side 
of  his  wife. 

He  baa  provided  by  his  will  for  the  per-

19.  After  a  life  of  piety  and  use- 
is,  extended  to  B9  year«,  the   Rev. 
Parr    GreflweU,    Incumbent    of 
1,  in  the  parish  of  Manchester. 
Mr,    Greawell   did    not    appear   much 
I  before  the  public^  yet  he  must  ever  be  ro- 
pirded  as  occupying  a  diftinguiihed  place 
among  Lancashire  worthies,  for  bis  learn* 
I  ing,  industry r  and  persereratice.  and  <br 
'  the  bright  reautta  of  hrs  abilities  and  line 
mental  characteristics.     It  is  now  about 
fix ty- three  years  since  the  incumbency  of 
the  chapelry  of  Denton  and  Hnughton  waa 
presented   to   him   by  the  then   Earl  of 
Wilton,  the  patron  of  the  liTing.     It  pro- 
duced no  great  pecuniary  emolument,  but 
Icnowin^  how  "  therewith  to  he  content," 
he  fed  his  flock,  and  was   for  some  time 
'*  passing  rich**  upon  1(K>/.   a  year.     He 
opened  a  scbooi,  and  his  learning  soon  pro- 
cured for  him  the  notice  and  patronage  of 
■ome  whoae  children  have  since  risen  to 


emiiieAoe  by  the  aid  of  the  Instructions  he 
imparted,  and  the  correct  habits  of  thought 
and  action  in  which  he  trained  them. 
While  educating  others,  the  claima  of  a 
large  family,  to  be  cnred  for  In  the  name 
reapect,  wt-'^-  ---^'-'^Msly  attended  to,  with 
the  hap]^i  Educated  up  to  a 

certain  p^  n.-^elf,  of  five  wna  who 

went  to  *>.\rord,  two  won  the  bighcit 
honours  of  that  University,  both  lu  classics 
and  mathematics,  and  two  others  the 
highest  honoart  in  classics.  Each  rose 
by  his  own  merit  to  the  post  of  FcUow 
in  his  colU'ge,*  and  one  of  there  ww 
elected  President  of  Corpus  Chri»ti,  though 
he  declined  the  appointment,  conceiving 
that  it  would  interfere  with  the  purauit  of 
his  etudiea.  Another  son  hat  won  a  name 
for  himself  by  the  princely  munificence 
with  which  he  has  sought  to  meet  the 
spiritual  and  educational  wantaof  the  place 
of  his  birth, t 

An  ea rnes t ,  patient ,  and  laborious  stude nt 
himself,  Mr.  Greswell  the  elder  waa  an  ex- 
ample of  how  much  persevering  energy  can 
achieve  upon  means  so  small  at  odc  time 
that  we  wonder  how  they  could  be  of  ser- 
vice; tnd  possibly  the  recollection  of  the 
difiicultiei  he  had  had  to  struggle  with 
especially  endeared  to  him  the  spot  where 
he  overcame  them.  His  was  a  long  term 
of  incumbency  j  for  the  greater  portion  of 
it  he  Ifflboured  In  the  Tillages  with  the 
utmost  as&iduity,  and  when  he  felt  no 
longer  equal  to  his  task  he  entrusted  the 
chief  portion  of  his  pastoral  work  to  a  curate, 
selected  with  care.  It  wM  only  about  the 
middle  of  last  year  that  he  finally  re- 
nounced the  trust  committed  to  him  so 
many  years  before,  and  advanced  age  had 
tben  made  such  inroads  upon  the  ]ihy5iciil 
powers  of  the  venerable  man,  that  the 
Bishop  of  Mancheiter  went  to  Denton 
especially  to  receive  his  resignation.  It 
is  a  pleasing  circumstanoe  that  the  Rev. 
Mr,  Nicol,  at  that  time  officiating  aa 
curate,  was  appointed  to  the  vocant  in-

Etton,  Vicar  of  Bii»hopthorpe,  Canon 
sidentiary  of  York,  nud  Domestic  Chap 
lain  to  the  Archbishop  of  York. 

Mr.    Dixon  wa«   the  son  of  the  RsfJ 
Henry  Dtjton,  Vicar  of  Wadworth,  nci 
Doncaster,  and  Anne,  daughter  of  the  P 
William  Mason,   Vicar  of  Holy  Trinit] 
HulL      The  Ma»ons  had  been  nettled  i 
Hull,  and  were  opulent  merchants  the 
for  some  generations.     From  his  uncle  tb 
Hev.  William  Mason  the  poet,  and  biogn 
pher  of  Gray,  Mr.  Dixon  derited  thegreaU 
part  of  his  private  fortune.     He  was  eda 
cated  at  the  grammar  school  of  Houghton^ 
le-Spring,  and  at  Pembroke  College,  Caoi^ 
bridge, where hegraduatedB.  A.  180.,  M J 
1 80 .  •     His  classical  attainmenU  were  € 
siderable,  and  he  had  made  some  proA^ 
ciency  in  the  knowledge  of  Hcbrew. 

For  many  years  in  the  earlier  part  of  hia 
life,  Mr.  Dixon  held  various  amall  cores 
with  little  or  no  emolument  attoched  to 
them.  Forty  years  ago  he  was  a  conatant 
preacher  in  Ripon  MiDster»  where  hia 
sennona  were  much  admired.  Through- 
out life  he  never  relaxed  in  his  ministerial 
duties.  He  waa  a  man  of  undoubted  piety 
and  strong  devotional  feeling,  though  he 
ever  shrunk  from  all  display.  Hia  vol ee 
was  clear  and  musicaff  and  of  oonsiili 
power,  and  hu  elocution  almost  p< 
The  admirable  way  in  which  ha  jh*i- 
formed  the  services  of  the  Church,  aiid  hii 
great  courtesy  and  elegant  refinement  of 
manners,  attracted  the  obaervation  of  the 
late  Archbishop  of  York,  who  appointed 
him  one  of  hia  Domestic  Chaplaing,  and 
was  hia  xealons  friend  and  patron.  He 
was  appointed  Prebendary  of  Ripon  io 
1815  J  Vicar  of  Bisliopthorpe  in  1B24; 
Prebendary  of  Market  Wcighton  in  1825; 
and  Canon  Residentiary  of  York  in  1831. 
On  resigning  the  vicarage  of  Bishopthorpe, 
in  1B34,  he  wasappninted  Vicarof  TopcUITo 
and  of  Sutton-on-Forcat.  Afterwards  he 
vacated  these  two  benefices,  and  waa  re* 
appointed  to  the  vicarage  of  Bishopthorpe 
and  instituted  to  the  rectory  of  Ettoo, 
in  the  East  Riding,  in  1837. 

To  th  c  !^  tri  c  t  f ul  fil  men  1 0  f  h  ia  eccleaiastical 
dudea  Mr.  Dixon  always  added  asealoita  and 
liberal  care  for  the  many  inttitutioni  of  the 
city  of  York  by  which  charity  ia  diapanaad 
and  knowledge  advanced.  No  one  lived 
with  a  kinder  sympathy,  or  a  more  open 
hand  for  the  troubles  and  distreaaes  of  all, 
however  little  connected  with  him,  espe- 
dally  among  his  poorer  brethren  of  the 
clergy  and  their  connections.  Hia  charily

friendly  feelings  diverted  by  any  di^erenee

ROBISRT  ALKXANOEa,  E^*i* 

Ftb,  9.  At  Great  Crosby,  near  Liver- 
pool, in  his  .S9th  yeari  Robert  Alexander 
esq.  editor  of  the  Liverpool  Mail. 

Mr.  Alexandcir  was  born  at  Paisley, 
where  his  father  was  an  extensive  builder. 
He  was  educated  at  the  Grammar  School 
of  P^aley,  and  from  his  youth  upwards  was 
an  extremely  diligent  student.  Endowed 
with  an  eitraorditiary  memory,  he  could 
not  fail  to  profit  by  his  close  application 
to  books.  On  arriving  at  manhood  he 
engaged  in  the  manufacturing  business  in 
his  native  town;  but  in  that  he  was  not 
successffiL  He  then  went  to  Coik,  but 
with  as  little  success.  He  next  removed 
to  Glasgow  and  engaged  in  merciintile 
pursuits,  but  only  for  a  brief  period, 
Busine^  was  not  his  forte.  Reading, 
ch.  and  reflection  became  his  more 


congenial  occupation.  And  while  yet  a 
young  man  of  some  five  and  twenty  sum- 
mers, he  resolved  henceforth  to  devote  hia 
energies  to  literature  and  journalism, 

Mr.  Alexander  commenced  his  career 
as  a  jonrnalist  at  Hamilton,  by  taking 
charge  of  the  Clydesdale  Journal,  a  Con- 
servative newspaper.  It  was  removed  to 
Glasgow,  under  the  name  of  the  Clydesdale 
Journal  and  Glasgow  Sentinel,  and  was 
conducted  by  him  for  a  considerable  |ime; 
hut,  failing  to  attract  adequate  support 
from  the  Conservative  party,  it  was  even-^ 
tnally  discontinued.  IVlr.  Alexander  then 
proceeded  to  London,  w^herc,  for  several 
years,  he  occupied  himself  with  con- 
tributions to  a  variety  of  the  most  popular 
periodicals.  He  subsequently  accepted  an 
en  gage  men  f  at  Exeter,  and  conducted  the 
Western  Luminary  for  a  year  or  two. 
Preferring  London,  he  became  editor  of 
the  Watchman^  a  high  ConservatiTe  jour- 
nal,  ami  one  which  for  a  while  was  attem* 
ded  with  signal  success. 

His  services  were  next  transferred  to  a 
paper  entitled,  the  Morning  Journal.  The 
ability  which  he  brought  to  bear  upon  ita 
management  was  rewarded  with  a  very 
extensive  circulation  until  the  great  con- 
troversies arose  both  in  the  senate  and  the 
press  on  the  vexed  tjuestioo  of  Roman 
Catholic  Emancipation,  when,  so  severe 
were  the  strictures  on  men  and  measures, 
so  fearless  and  pungent  the  denunciations 
of  the  tortuous  policy  of  Peel,  published 
in  the  Morning  Journal,  that  the  govem- 
meot  took  advantage  of  unadvised  ex- 
pressions which  hJid  escaped,  no  doubt 
injudiciously  but  almost  unconsciously,  in 
the  warmth  of  argument  and  the  vehemence 
of  invective,  A  crioainal  proiiecution  was 
vindictively  followed  up,  Mr.  Alexander 
was  confined  in  Newgate,  bnt  the  full  term 
of  the  sentence  was  commuted  and  re- 
mitted. 

On  Ilia  release^  Mr,  Alexander  was 
hailed  by  numbers  as  a  far-seeing  champion 
and  fearless  confessor  for  our  Protestant 
constitution,  and,  upon  urgent  invitatiooi 
he  made  a  lengthened  sojourn  at  the 
hospitable  mansion  of  that  warm-hearted 
Irishman  Sir  Barcourt  Lees.  But  he 
alike  disrelished  inaction  or  ostentation. 
He  always  shrank  from  setting  up  as  a 
political  martyr.  And  bis  steady  devotion 
to  great  principles  still  prompted  bim  to 
a  zealous  and  generous  support  of  that 
great  Tory  party  whose  chiefs  had  dealt 
so  harshly  with  himself.  He  became 
editor  of  the  Liverpool  Standard,  whicli  ' 
was  Arst  started  and  supported  by  the 
subscriptions  of  local  Conservatives,  and 
which  contbiued  to  be  their  chief  organ 
until,  upon  disputes  occurring  ronreniing

«  difid^d  maniifemeot,  Mr,  Alexander 
left  U,  and  iti  1836  founded  a  joumaL  of 
hb  owtii  the  Liverpool  Mull,  to  which  his 
subsequent  life  wa9  devoted.  In  this 
Ciptdty,  he  con?c!enti(maly  and  hfthitually 
strove  to  femler  his  public  Inbnurs  con* 
ducive  to  the  piiblic  good.  None  cati 
eotmt  the  saluiary  iuduences  he  has  been 
enabled  to  dtfl'tiBe  tbroagh  the  great  cotti> 
mumty  which  he  addressed.  Above  all, 
<>ti  e^ry  occasion,  and  in  everv  causc^  he 
took  especial  delight  in  advocating  what 
be  conceived  to  be  the  true  interests  of 
the  ignorant,  the  poor*  stid  the  defencdess. 
He  excelled  in  that  most  useful  acquire- 
nent,  n  koovledge  of  comaion  things. 
In  private  life  he  vras  a  warm  and  nn- 
awenring  fnend,  and  an  instructive  atid 
•iitertaining  connpauion.  Advancing  years 
induced  hira  to  remove  from  the  annoy- 
ances of  the  town  ^  and  to  find  his  chief 
delight  in  his  books  and  bis  f^nrden. 

To  the  last  day  of  his  conBciousness> 
with  humble  gratitude  to  his  Maker,  be 
solemnly  recounted  that  his  simple  p^^y^^j 
'*  betlher  poverty  nor  richea/'  had  tiirough 
all  bis  days  been  mer^Tifully  granted.

Somersetshire,  John  Twyford  Joiiffe,  esq. 
Lient.-Cotouel  of  the  first  Someraetsbire 
Yeomanry  Cavalry. 

Mr.  Joliffe  was  descended  from  a  race 
of  bigb  antiquity.  He  was  the  aou  and 
heir  ^  Thomas  Samuel  Joliffe,  esq.  M.P. 
ft)f  Ritenrfield,  by  Mary  Anne  Twyfurd^ 
beln«B  of  the  Twyfards  of  Kilmersdun^ 
CO.  Somerset  The  family  name,  ori- 
ginally Joli,  has  been  frequently  cor- 
rupted by  capricious  additions  or  termi- 
nations, and,  about  three  centuries  sineef 
was  usually  written  Jolyfe  or  JoUff.  Sir 
Bernard  Burke,  in  bis  "♦  Dictionary  of  the 
Landed  Gentry"  baa  bnetly  dctniled  the 
particulars  of  Mr.  Joliffe's  Ibicage  ;  but, 
in  his  history  of  tlie  Royal  fiimilies  of 
England  and  Scotland,  he  baa  elaborately 
traced  the  deceased's  connexion  with  the 
Plantagenet  sovereigns,  and  shown  him 
to  have  been  the  fourteenth,  hi  direct 
descent,  from  Edward  lit.  Without 
unduly  estimating  the  value  of  such  recom- 
mendation, it  may  justly  be  remarked  that, 
although  ancestral  honours  and  heraldic 
diatitictiona — 

cjtjnns  et  prosivos,  et  q«m  non  fecfniUA  ipsi— 
are  no  proof  or  argument  of  personal  merit 
.  In  the  hereditary  possessor,  they  shed  at 
least  a  reflective  lustre  on  whoever  can 
establish  a  claim  to  them.  In  discharging 
the  demands  of  domestic  obligations,  Mr. 
Joliffe  has  left  few  to  surpass  him ;  and, 
in  Ml  charaetor  of  an  ettensiTc  landholder  ^ 


he  was  so  tr^ly  appreciated,  that  his  loss 
will  be  considered  irreparable  by  a  nu- 
merous and  tnteltigcnt  tenantry. 

At  particular  periods  since  the  passing 
of  the  Reform  .\ct,  be  received  appli- 
cations fnim  influcntiiil  parttea  in  different 
coni^tituencies  to  avow  himself  &  candidate 
in  the  ConBervftlive  interest ;  but  bis 
retired  and  unu'ifuming  habits  induced 
him  respectfully  to  decline  Hi<*  fluttering 
invitation.     His  only  ^  its  of  a 

public  nature  were  tho-  Colonel 

in  the  Est  Somerset  iiigmcin,  nod  of  a 
magistrate  and  ttepnty -lieu tenant  in  the 
!tame  county.  A  ware  of  the  dutie!^,  as  well 
as  rights,  of  opulence,  he  liberally  re- 
sponded to  solidrations  for  pecuniary  aid 
from  those  the  truth  of  whose  statements 
he  had  aecuratcly  ascertained  j  and  the 
writer  of  this  sketch  has  been  so  ci* 
tensively  the  agent  of  bis  liberalities  as  to 
have  frequently  bestowed  hundreds  of 
pounds  upon  distressed  iudividuala. 

Surrounded  by  friends,  and  watched 
over  in  profound  and  ceaseless  anxiety  by 
those  of  bis  household  whom  bis  bounty 
had  enriched,  he  expired  after  a  lingering 
and  painful  illness,  which  baffled  the  efforts 
of  the  most  distinguished  surgical  pro- 
fessors. 

Colonel  JoMe's  landed  estates  were^ 
fbr  the  far  greater  part,  entailed;  these 
devolve  on  bia  only  surrivin^  brotbef  ;

HiNRY  BeLCHBII,  £914* 

JVA.  14.  At  Warwick,  aged  68,  Henry 
Belcher,  esq.  of  Mayfield  House,  Whitby. 

Mr.  Belcher  was  born  at  Manchester  on 
the  19th  Nov.  1 785.  He  served  hia  clerk- 
ahip  to  Messrs.  Milne,  solicitors  in  that 
town,  and  resided  there  until  ISl  1  ;  when 
he  removed  to  Whitby,  and  entered  into 
partnership  with  Mr.  Clarke,  of  Guisbo- 
rough,  the  business  being  conducted,  for 
about  ten  years,  under  the  firm  of  Clarke 
and  Welch er.  He  then  for  several  years 
continued  hid  profession  alone,  until  in 
1833  Mr.  N.  L.ingbornc  became  his  part- 
ner, and  Ihey  were  afterwards  joined  by 
Mr.  J.  Bucbojinan.  The  formLT  having 
died,  the  latter  retired  in  1835,  when  Mr. 
Belcher  was  again  alone  until  1850;  he  was 
then  joined  by  Mr.  Gray ;  and  recently  by 


another  addition  the    firm  had  become 
Belcher,  Gray,  and  Brewster. 

Prom  the  period  of  Mr.  Belcher^  first 
settlement  in  Whitby  he  had  been  one  of 
the  best  fnetids  of  the  town,  the  great  en- 
cottrager  of  its  local  improvements,  the 
moat  liberal  patron  of  its  public  institu- 
tions, and  the  kindest  adviser  of  vtA  strug- 
gling inhabitaots.  He  was  one  of  the  most 
aetivc  promoten  of  the  Whitby  and  Pick* 
ering  railway,  which  wns  the  third  in  the 
kingdom  completed  for  the  conveyance  of 
passengers  (and  that  not  by  steam  but  by 
horse-power).  On  its  completion,  be 
exerted  himself  in  the  formation  of  the 
Whitby  Stone  Company  ;  and  in  ooiy unc- 
tion with  the  late  Mr.  Thoma«  Simpson 
he  built  an  hotel  and  a  street  of  cottages 
and  workshops.  HeaJao  actively  assisted 
in  obtaining  au  act  of  parliAoient  for  the 
coustruction  of  a  railway  from  Whitby  to 
Ca$tleton.  This  was  not  formed  \  but,  the 
statutory  time  having  elapsed,  he  has, 
during  the  bat  year,  itrenuously  advo* 
cated  the  claims  of  ^e  North  Yorkshire 
and  Cleveland  Railway. 

As  a  friend  of  religious  education,  he 
evinced  hii  seal  so  long  since  ai  Id'i^O  in 
promoting  the  formation  of  a  lociil  society 
in  connexion  with  that  for  Promotini^  Chris- 
tian Knowledge.  The  new  church  of  St. 
Matthew,  at  Grosmont  near  Whitby,  which 
was  commenced  in  1810,  opened  in  1842, 
and  consecrated  in  18.^0,  has  been,  prin- 
ci pally  by  his  active  exertions,  erected  at 
the  cost  of  ]  ,360/. and  endowed  with  1 ,0€0/. 
befrides  700/.  for  a  parsonage,  of  which  he 
was  shortly  to  have  laid  the  foimdation 
stone.  He  also  materially  contributf'd  to 
the  enlargement  of  the  ancient  parish 
church  of  Whitby,  and  to  the  erection  of 
that  of  St.  John's. 

In  184'i  he  published  a  pamphlet  show- 
ing the  inefficient  state  of  schools  for  the 
poor  in  the  neighbourhood  of  Whitby  j  and 
since  tiiat  fieriod  schools  have  been  erected 
at  Whitby,  Staithes,  Lytb,  and  Danby. 
Of  the  National  Schools  at  Whitby,  and 
of  the  Infant  School'^,  he  was,  from  their 
establishment,  either  Treasurer  or  Secre- 
tary, or  both ;  and  for  many  year$  he 
was  Secretary  of  the  LancaHterian  school. 
From  the  year  lH:i8  he  has  been  President 
of  the  Whitby  Literary  and  Philosophical 
Society ;  and,  on  the  foundation  of  the 
Whitby  Institute  iu  1H15,  he  also  became 
President  of  that  association.  Before  both 
he  frequently  delivered  lectures,  among 
the  s^ubjcntd  r.|  -  t -  l>  -  r-  The  English 
Poete;  The-.  Uhc  Sacred 

Scriptures,  cor     i  jiociully  with

CompiroUer  of  tlie  Chamber  of  tlie  City 
of  London,  one  of  the  Directors  of  tlie 
London  Life  Associationr  and  F.S.A* 

This  very  amiable  and  benevolent  geu< 
tlemau  was  the  son  of  Mr,  JaD]e4»  Saunderi», 
citisen  and  tish monger  of  London,  for 
many  yeors  one  of  the  members  of  the 
Court  of  Common  Council  for  the  ward  of 
Billing  legate.  He  was  articled  to  Mr. 
James  Htlli  solicitor,  of  Salters'  Hall. 

In  18M  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the 
Court  of  Common  Council  for  Bridge 
Ward  (his  brother  Mr.  Nathaniel  Saun- 
dera  being  then  a  Common  Couiicilnmn  of 
the  fame  ward)  i  and  he  continued  a  mem- 
ber until  the  year  1820. 

Mr.  Saunders  was  elected  a  Fellow  of 
the  Society  of  Antlqnariea  Dec.  21,  1839  ; 
Mud  a  little  more  than  twenty  years  ago  he 
filled  a  very  conspicuous  part  in  the  anti- 
quarian world  ,^  by  hiazealoujn  exertionfi  for 
the  preservation  of  **  The  Ladye  Chapel/' 
attached  to  the  eastern  end  of  the  church 
of  SL  Saviour  in  the  borough  of  South- 
wark.  That  tine  and  spacious  church, 
which  was  formerly  the  conventual  church 
of  St.  Mary  Overk,  was  granted  hy  king 
Henry  MIL  afler  the  dissolution  of  mo- 


naatenaa  to  the  parishioners  of  the  ne« 
parish  of  St.  Saviour,  which  was  formed 
by  the  union  of  the  psriabes  of  St.  Margaret 
and  St.  Mary  Magdalen.    The  church  had 
buffeted  in  the  course  of  lime  very  con-

constant   opposition  from  a  party  which 
sympathised    neither  with   its    parochial 
claims,  its  architeotttral  beau  ties*   or  itaj 
historical  assodationi.     Their  vigorooi  i

Mr,  Saunders  tuid  his  friends  threw  then 
selves  on  the  gaud-feeling  of  the  public  i 
lorgc^  and  spared  neither  labour  nor 
pouse  to  raise  subscriptions  that  might  i 
part  at  least  alleviate  the  parish  rat< 
This  was  effected  in  great  measure  hy  hh 
personal  influence,  and  by  the  employmen 
of  eloquent  advocates  and  coadjutors,- 
amoog  the  most  actifo  of  whom  were  '' 
Sydney  Taylor,  Mr.  A.  J.  Kempe,  F.S 
and  Mr.  E.  J.  Carlos  (all  now  no  roore)^ 
who  eloquently  by  their  s^^eeches  and  i ' 
writings  maintained  the  claims  of  the  struo 
ture.     A  large  sum  was  raised  by 
acriptions,  and  by  other  means,  as  con* I 
certs,  fancy^fairs,  &c,  but  aU.  was  imuf*

object  was  effected.     The  Lady  Chapel  wa 
admirably  restored,  principally  by  the  pn 
fessional  skill  and  gratuitous  liberality  i 
Mr.  George  Gwilt,    under   the   su|>erta^l 
tendenoe  of  a  committee,  consisting  of 
two  architects,  Mr.  L.  N>  Cottinsham  and 
Mr.  James  Savage  (both  since  deceased), 
and   of  three   other  members,   viz.   Mr*

have  thut  in  the  dmrcti»  but  Mr,  tSaundcr^ 
obtiitned*  through  a  Cnnimittee  of  the 
Uouhc  of  Commons,  thai:  a  Hjiace  of  110 
feet  in  widlU  shoukl  he  left  open,  in  order 
that  thifl  Doble  ecclesi&atical  e^trncture 
might  be  seen,  aud  form  a*  it  doei  the 
best  orDitrnent  to  the  entrance  t^  the  City 
by  Land  an  Bridge. 

Themo»t  lamentable  consequence  of  this 
tlf«ir  wafi  that  the  strength  of  the  friends 
of  St.  Mftry  Or  cries  Church  was  eiliAusted 
by  their  prolonged  aud  repeated  efforts  : 
and  after  they  hud  preserred  the  Lmdy 
Chapel,  which,  however  admirable  in  ita 
architecture,  was  after  all  merely  an  fx- 
creacence  of  the  church  itself — the  De- 
structive party^  within  a  few  years,  had  in 
turn  their  triumph  and  their  leTenge,  for, 
under  the  pretence  that  the  roof-timbers 
were  decayed,  the  nave  or  main  body  of 
the  edifice  was  destroyed,  and  a  miserable 
substitute  erected  in  its  place. 

There  was  another  church,  on  the 
northern  approach  to  London  Bridge,  to 
which  Mr,  Saunders  extended  hi*  regard. 
Thii*  was  Smnt  Michael's  Crooked  Lane^ 
which  was  removed;  in  order  to  form  King 
William  Street  The  late  Mr.  Herbert, 
librariaci  to  the  City  of  London  at  Guild- 
hall,  was  employed  by  Mr.  Saunders  to 
oommemorate  its  history  and  its  sepulchral 
memorials  i  but  only  two  portions  were 
printed,  consisting  of  100  pagee,  @vo«  lb3L 

Mr.  Saunders  was  elected  Comptroller 
of  the  Chamber  of  London  in  1841,  and 
he  was  }iO  universally  beloved  in  the  city 
of  London  that  his  election  was  almoist 
unanimous.  Previously  to  his  undertaking 
this  office,  he  held  the  appointments  of 
Vestry  Clerk  of  the  several  parishes  of 
St.  Martin  Vintry,  St.  Michael  Royal,  St. 
Benet  Gracechurchp  St.  Leonard  East- 
cheap,  St.  ^fary  Bothaw,  and  AUhallowe 
the  Great,  which  he  then  resigned.  Ho 
was  also  Clerk  of  Dowgate  Ward,  and 
Hi^norary  Solicitor  to  the  Shipwrecked 
Miriners'  Royal  Benevolent  Society.  This 
was  only  one  instance  of  his  untiring  zeal 
in  good  works^ — in  fact,  he  was  one  of  the 
most  unselfish  of  men.  The  Noviomagian 
Society  (of  Autiquaries),  of  which  he  was 
an  old  and  much-esteemed  member,  will 
long  cherish  the  memory  of  their  genial 
and  kind-hearted  "  Comptroller.'* 

He  mairried  Susanna^  daughter  of  James 
CfOuldiDg,  esq.  who  is  left  his  widow,  with 
two  ionti  Th{»mas  and  John  (both  unmar- 
ried),  tnd  four  daughters.  Of  the  latter, 
Sarah, the  eldest,  was  married  in  ISfi^  to  the 
Rev.  Edward  Hardwiokc,  of  Artcy,  co.  Staf-

Felt,  17.  At  the  hou«(r  of  Thomas  Wil- 
sou,  esq.  Douglas,  l»le  of  Man,  aged  64, 
John  ^lartin,  esq.  of  Ltndsey  house,  Chel- 
sea, the  Painter  of  Bebhazzar's  Feast, 

This  great  artist  was  a  Northumbrian 
by  birth,  having  first  seen  the  light  at 
HayJon  Bridge.  Hii*  brother,  the  "  Natu- 
ral Philosopher,"  was  bom  at  Tow  House, 
near  ilaltwhistle;  while  hia  equally  noto* 
TiOME  relative,  the  incendiary  of  York 
Minster,  first  saw  the  light  at  High  House, 
near  Heihani.  His  jurentage  was  humble, 
his  father  having  taught  the  small  «word 
and  singlestick  at  the  Chancelfor^s  Head 
in  Newcastle;  hut  deceased  overcame  the 
di^culties  of  his  early  position  in  tife  in  a 
msnner  peculiar  to  great  geniuses. 

From  notes  supplied  by  Martin  him- 
self^chicfly  to  the  "  Athcoenm ''  in  former 
years — we  are  able  lo  trAt*e  the  outline  of 
his  career.  *^  1  was  born  at  a  house  called 
the  East-land  Ends,  Haydon  Briflge,  near 
HesLham^  19th  of  July,  1789,  and  received 
the  nidiments  of  my  education  at  the  well- 
known  free  school  of  that  place.  Having, 
from  my  earliest  years,  attempted  to  draw, 
and  expressed  a  determination  to  *  be  a 
painter,"  the  question  arose  ^  how  Co  turn 
my  desires  to  proftUbtc  account ;'  and  it 
was  ultimately  decided  to  make  me  a  herald 
painter — in  consequence  of  which,  upon 
the  removal  of  my  family  to  Newcastle,  1 
was,  when  fourteen,  apprenticed  to  Wil- 
son, the  coach -builder,  of  that  town.  I 
worked  with  bim  for  a  year,  in  no  small 
degree  disgusted  at  the  drudgery  which, 
as  junior  apprentice,  I  had  to  endure,  and 
at  not  being  allowed  to  practise  the  higher 
mysteries  of  the  art ;  when,  just  previously 
to  the  expiration  of  the  year  (from  which 
period  I  was  to  have  an  increase  of  pay), 
one  of  tJje  senior  apprentices  told  me  that 
my  employer  would  evade  the  payment  of 
the  first  quarter,  on  the  ground  that  *  I 
went  on  trial,'  and  that  *  it  was  not  in  the 
indentures.'  As  it  had  been  foretold,  so 
it  turned  out.  Upon  claiming  the  increase, 
I  was  referred  to  my  articles,  and  the  ori- 
ginal sum  was  tendered.  This  I  indigo 
najitly  rejected,  saying,  '  What  1  youVc 
soon  beginning  then,  aud  mean  to  serve 
me  the  &ame  as  you  did  sttch  an  one  ?  but 
/  won't  submit;^  and,  turning  on  my  heel, 
I  hastened  home.  My  father  highly  ap- 
proved of  my  conduct,  declared  that  1 
sbovild  not  go  back,  and  immediately  fur- 
nished me  with  proper  drawing  materials, 
the  most  satisfactory  reward  I  could  re- 
ceive. I  worked  uway  to  my  he«rt>  con- 
tent for  some  days;  when,  at  length,  while 
so  employed,  the  town  sergeant  came  to 
take  me  off  to  the  Guildhall  to  answer 
charges  brought  against  me  by  my  master. 
I  was  dreadfully  frightened,  the  mort^  so

and  was  explaining  hfa  idea^,  whlcli  ap- 
peared to  me  altogether  wrongt  and  I  gave 
him  my  conception  ;  he  then  told  me  that 
there  was  a  prize  poem  at  Cambridge, 
written  by  Mr.  T.  S.  Hughes,  which  ex- 
nelly  tallied  with  my  notions,  and  advised 
me  to  read  it.  I  did  bo,  and  determined 
on  painting  the  picture.  !  was  &trongIy 
disjuaded  from  this  by  many,  amonj^  others 
Leslie,  who  so  entirely  differed  from  ray 
notions  of  the  treatment,  that  he  called  on 
purpose,  and  spent  part  of  a  morning  in 
the  vain  endeavour  of  preventing  my  com- 
mitting myself,  and  so  injuring  the  repu- 
tation  I  wan  obtaining.  This  opposition 
only  eonfirmed  my  Inlentioni,  and  in  1  B^l 
I  eihibited  my  picture.*' 

In  the  succeeding  ye^ir,  Martin  produced 
bia  Destruction  of  Merculanenm  ;  in  1823 
tppcarcd  The  Seventh  Plngne  and  The 
Psplikn  Bower  J  in  I8'2i  The  Creation ; 
in  \mG  The  Deluge;  and  in  \S2H  The  Fall 
of  Kincveh.  Thb  completed  the  cycle  of 
his  greater  works.  The  ortiiit'ii  itlostra- 
tions  of  Milton,  for  which  he  received 
^,000  guineas,  were  drawn  by  him  on  the 
platea.  His  principal  pictures  are,  or  were, 
10  the  gaUeries  of  Mr.  Ho[>e,  Lord  De 
Tabley»  the  Duket  of  Buekinghiim  and 
Sutherland,  Prince  Albert,  Mr.  Scaris-

schemes  nbo  occupied  hi*  mind.  As  he 
himself  reports  of  all  these  multiplied  ac* 
livitiea, — "  My  attention  was  firfit  occupied 
in  endeiivoaHog  to  procnre  an  improved

it  available  as  manure;  and  in  18^7  and

In  1829  I  published  further  plans  for  ac-

mean^,  namely,  a  weir  jicross  thoThameaf

1832,  IHU,  IB36, 18:18,  1842,  IS-t.-i,  1845, 

'  *  ■",  I  published  and  repnbliahed  ad- 
irticnlitrs — lieing  so  bent  upon 
„.T  w  >j.^t  that  I  was  d^rtermined  never  to 
abandon  it ;  and  though  I  have  reaped  no 
other  advantage,  I  have  at  least  the  satis- 
faction  of  knowing  that  the  agitation  thus 
kept  upt  conFtantly,  solely  by  myself,  bat  « 
ifi  a  va^t  alteration  in  the  qcan- 
fuality  of  the  wnter  inpplied  by 
•  >.r  -  rr.|punies,  and  in  the  ^tablishment 
uf  n  Boiird  of  Health,  which  will,  in  all 
probiibility,  eventually  carry  out  most  of 
the  objects  I  have  been  so  long  urging. 
Amongst  the  other  proposals  which  1  have 
advanced  are, — my  railway  connecting  the 
river  and  docks  with  all  the  railways  that 
diverge  from  London,  and  appareutly  ap- 
proved by  the  Railway  Termini  Commfs* 
sioners,  as  the  line  they  intimate  coincidei 
with  that  submitted  by  me,  and  published 
in  their  report ;  the  principle  of  rail 
♦idopted  by  the  Grout  Western  line ;  the 
liphthouse  for  the  smd^i  appropriated  by 
T^lr.  Walker  in  his  Maplin  Sand  light- 
!iou*e  ;  tlic  flat  anchor  and  wire  cable ; 
mode  of  ventilating  coal-mines ;  floating 
harbour  nnd  pier  ;  iron  )»hip  ;  and  various 
other  inventions  of  comparatively  minor 
traportance,  but  all  conducing  to  the  great 
ends  of  improving  the  health  of  the  coun- 
try, tnerpasing  the  produce  of  the  land, 
nnd  furnishing  employment  for  the  people 
in  remuofTativc  works/' 

Mr.  ^fartin'fi  quarrel  with  the  Royal 
Academy— as  in  the  oa«e  of  Haydon — was 
of  ancient  date;  but  hii  permanent  ejcclu- 
aion  from  their  body  was  the  result  of  his 
independence  rather  than  of  their  blind- 
ness or  jealousy.  .Martin,  from  the  heights 
of  popular  favour,  chotfCi  to  look  down  on 
the  honours  to  be  gained  in  Somerset 
House  or  Trafalgar-square.  Uu  withdrew 
his  name  from  the  books,  and  the  acade* 
micians,  however  arilling  to  elect  him,  had 
lo«)t  the  power. 

Martin  was  a  Knight  of  the  order  of 
Leopold  of  Austria ;  but  had  received  no 
other  honours  in  his  own  country  than  the 
popular  estimation  of  bis  works. 

The  oainter  was  seized  with  the  illness 
which  bus  terminated  his  career  on  the 
12th  of  November.  While  engai^cd  in 
paioting — being  apparently  in  the  enjoy- 
ment of  good  heialth— *hc  waa  suddezdy 
attacked  with  a  paral)'tic  stroke,  which 
deprived  him  of  the  use  of  speech  and  of 
his  right  luind.  His  family  was  assured 
that  recovery  from  the  attack  was  impro-

Ma*  Urban, — As  a  pendant  to  the 
paper  of  J.  B.  on  Norden  the  Topugra- 
phtTf  in  jour  Muga^ine  for  April,  I  gWc 
jon  A  copy  of  an  indortement  on  one  of 
tlic  **  ran  ti  luted  Exchequer  Recordi  "in

order  made  for  xx^'  in  pt/' 
The  origina]  document,  consistrng  of 
forty-one  lines  on  one  side  of  a  sheet  of 
foolscap,  appears  to  have  been  wholly  In 
Norden's  handwriting,  and  it  waaoo  doubt 
Bigned  by  him,  but,  like  many  other  valu- 
•ble  and  interesting  papers ,  on  the  turn- 
out of  the  Exchequer  records  it  was  torn 
in  half  (from  top  to  bottom),  leaving  tbe 
h&lf lines  only  which  came  to  my  himds. 
Yours,  ifec.  U.  Cole, 
During  tli6  fnihion  of  wearing  full-bot* 
tomed  wiga  there  w«g  a  ooiiBiderable  im- 
portation of  human  hair  into  this  country, 
aa  appears  in  the  following  curiouB  para- 
graph in  the  London  Mercury,  March 
25  to  April  1,  1721  :— '* 'Tis  reported 
that  great  quantities  of  lltiman  Hair  lie 
now  ready  packed  up  at  Rouen  in  France 
(which  waj  collectml  from  Maraeillea, 
Provence*  and  Languedoc,  the  only  places 
where  the  plague  ragea,)  to  be  trauBporlcd 
to  England,  and  that  tbe  viilainoua  dealers 
have  80  bribed  the  country,  that  tbe 
coasts  of  Buasex  and  Devon  are  open  for 
them  whenever  they  come.  Thia  ought 
to  rouse  every  peraon  to  uae  his  utmoat 
endeavour  to  detect  and  bring  to  justice 
these  diabolical  wretches,  who  would  ra- 
ther chnse  to  sacrifice  a  whole  nation 
than  be  disappointed  in  their  avariciout 
ends ;  for  if  ibis  tmportatiou  is  not  pre^ 
vented  it  must  iDfalliblj  bring  a  mlBcrable 
desolation  upon  this  country.'^ 

Cbarloi  the  Fir*t,  when  in  the  lale  of 
Wight,  gave  from  hia  finger  to  Sir  Philip 
Warwick  a  ring  bcariog  a  figure  cut  iti  an 
onyx,  in  order  lo  seal  the  letters  written 
for  him  by  Sir  Philip  at  the  time  of  the 
Treaty.  This  ring  was  left  by  Sir  Philip 
to  Sir  Cbarlea  Cottcrell,  Master  of  the 


Ceremonies;  and  in  his  «rill,  dated  16th 
April,  1701,  it  fs  heqneathed  to  Sir  Ste- 
phen Fox*  ( Archie ologia,  xxxv.  343«) 
Are  any  further  particulars  of  its  history 
known  ?  Q. 

Library  of  the  Britith  Mu»€um, — To 
tL  T.  who  asks  whether  it  i»  not  extra- 
ordinary thot  fio  important  a  work  as 
Dulaure's  History  of  Paris  is  not  to  be 
found  in  the  library  of  the  British  Museum* 
we  can  only  reply  that  tbe  deficieiKriec  of 
the  collection  are  ttill  very  manifest. 
Though  vast  numbers  of  foreign  works 
have  been  added  of  late  years,  the  mass  U 
not  of  the  most  useful  description :  whidi 
seems  to  show  that  tbe  ptircboscs  acqaired 
have  been  rather  incidental^  and  in  whole- 
sale quantities,  than  discriminative.  But 
it  is  ako  to  be  lamented  that  so  many 
English  works  arc  still  wanting.  For  ex- 
am plc»  in  the  Obituary  of  the  present 
Magazine  is  recorded  the  death  of  the  Rev, 
Thomas  Pennington,  who  wa6  the  author 
of  two  volumes  of  Contineotal  Tours  i 
neither  of  these  hooks  are  in  the  library  of 
the  Britiah  Museum. 

In  the  Table  of  Precedency  in  our  lait 
Magasine,  p.  374,  is  this  error:  for 
**  Daughters  of  Knights  Companioas  of 
the  Bath/'  read  "  Daughters  of  Kniglitl 
of  tbe  different  Orders,  in  succession  ai 
before." 

Tbe  will  of  tbe  late  MarquiBss  of  Lon* 
donderry  has  been  proved  at  Doctors' 
Commons,  1 1  consists  of  a  few  lines, 
givitig  all  bis  estates,  real  and  personal,  to 
his  Mire  bio  neas,  absolutely  and  at  her 
entire  disposal,  appointing  her  also  sole 
executrix.  An  endorsement,  in  his  own 
handwriting,  recapitulates  ita  contents  in 
terms  of  most  affectionate  endearment. 
The  personal  estate  in  the  province  of 
Canterbury  has  been  sworn  under  45,tM}0^*

vince of  York,  wbich  is  under  2r)0»000f.

HISTOIUCAL  REVIEW. 


ELIZABETH,  THE  PRINCESS  PALATINE 


ft  of  the  PdnoeM  Palatine  Elizabeth  of  Bohemta  \  iuctadui^  her  Correspondence 
with  the  Greet  Men  of  her  diy^  snd  Memoir?  of  the  Court  of  HollaDd  under  the 
PriM6i  oi  Oringe.     By  the  Barooese  Blaze  de  Bury.     8to.     Bentley,     1 854. 


Tfl£  interest  of  thla  work  is  two* 
t  fold.  Of  the  PrincesB  Elizabeth  tite 
Author  tells  us  all  that  she  has  been 
•ble  to  gather^  wbioh,  in  spite  of  the 
[  tttl«-piigi!  promise  of  **Corn?spon(lence 
with  2T«8t  men,**  is  very  little,  but  that 
littlo  IS  prefaced  by  some  valuable  and 
interesting  details  respecting  the  great 
bero  of  the  House  of  Orange,  princi- 
pally derived  fruni  u  work  entitled  the 
'*  ArcUivea  of  the  House  of  Orange," 
pubUtibed  under  the  authority  of  the 
King  of  Holland/  and  as  yet  but  little 
known  in  t!iiti  country. 

William  ofNiissau/rrinoe  of  Orange, 
fondly  remembered  amongst  the  people 
whom  be  freed  from  the  tyranny  of 
Spain  by  the  title  of"  Father  William," 
and  commemorated  by  those  who  have 
less  regfttd  for  hijn  by  the  nickname  of 
'*  The  Taciturn,**  was  four  times  mar- 
ried. Hie  tir^t  wife,  Aime  van  Egmond, 
was  daughter  of  Alaximllian  Count  of 
Buron*  To  her  thti  Prince  was  united 
ID  very  early  life,  and  by  her  he  bad  two 
children,  a  daughter,  Mary,  and  a  son^ 
Philip.  The  latter  was  kidnapped  in 
1568  by  the  Duke  of  Alva  from  Louyain, 
where  ne  was  pursuing  his  studies  at  the 
university,  and  was  sent  prisoner  into 
Spain.  This  event  not  only  separated 
the  father  and  son — ^the  prince  and  his 
heir^for  many  years:  it  did  more* 
By  ttueh  mean*  as  theologioiii*  in  Spain 
then  knew  how  to  use  to  perfection, 
the  young  Prince  waa  jirevented  fol- 
lowing the  example  of  his  father  in 
forsaking  the  faith  of  Rome,  and  thus 
the  barrier  of  adrene  religions  aa  well 


as  that  of  separate  interests  was  placed 
between  William  and  his  son.  The  si- 
tuation of  his  heir  is  very  necessary  to 
be  borne  in  mind  when  considering  the 
conduct  oflhePrinceof  Orange  towards 
those  who  were  entitled  literally  to  look 
up  to  him  as  their  *'  Father  " 

^Villiam's  second  marriage  waa  a 
very  unfortunate  one.  The  lady  was 
Anne,  daughter  of  Maurice  Elector  oi' 
Saxony,  and  the  match  seem^  to  have 
bc*en  made  hu^iily.  In  I06I,  shortly 
after  tlie  death  of  Anne  of  Egmoiid* 
By  this  second  marriage  the  Prince 
hiid  three  children,  two  daughters  and 
bis  second  son,  Maurice,  bom  tn  1567, 
This  was  the  illustrioua  successor  who 
consolidated  bis  father's  victories,  and 
established  the  independence  of  his 
country.  But  between  him  and  his 
father  circumstances,  afi  in  the  case  of 
Maurice* js  elder  brother,  interposed  a 
cloud.  When  Maurice  was  about  four 
yi^iiM  old,  and  bis  cabn  un impassioned 
father  waa  actively  ei^gaged  in  the 
struggle  against  Spain,  and  often  in 
the  greatest  perj>lexity  as  to  how  it 
was  to  be  maintainctl,  a  deep  private 
calamity  was  superadded  to  tnat  BhaJrc 
of  the  public  evils  which  was  alreadr 
pressing  heavily  upon  him.  The  lA 
of  his  heir  waa  kdlowed  by  tlie  disgrace 
of  his  wii'e.  Of  the  partner  in  her 
guilt  but  little  is  known.  He,  or  more 
probably  his  wife,  fdlevi  some  subor* 
dinate  office  in  the  household  of  the 
Princesi.  But  all  that  really  appean

married  man,  and  that  in  the  inqufrj

[M.y, 


IV kick  took  ploco  he  was  dcffigtmUid  by 
the  k>rif?r  B.  The  Prince*^  conduct 
on  this  occaaion  wan  charncterjatic. 
When  til  lings  were  brought  to  him  of 
his  dishonour,  he  caused  the  paperii  of 
the  Frinceii«*a  paramour  to  be  seized, 
and  the  culprit  to  be  put  under  arrest. 
Letter*  of  the  Princess  were  dis- 
covered, and  the  examination  of  the 
prisoner  lefl  no  doubt  of  their  guilt* 
The  facta  betnff  ascertained,  the  Prince 
caltidy  sent  a  Protestant  clergyman  to 
hid  wife.  Through  Lim  he  advised  her 
to  examine  her  conscience,  and  to  con- 
fess her  guilt,  so  that  means  might  be 
derised  to  keep  her  disgrace  a  secret, 
and  to  prevent  her  children  suflerin;^ 
from  their  mother's  crime.  Her  answer 
was  as  follows.     It  will  be  read  with 

'  •atonishment*  Although  long,  we  do 
not  find  it  possible  to  abridge  it. 
My  Lord, 
I  heard  liit  Monday,  with  gr»t  sttr- 
priM,  from  Ur.  Merlin^  that  70a  had  had  B. 
taken  priaoner,  aod  had  asked,  or  caused 
to  be  asked,  of  him  thiagi  which  menace 
my  honour  far  too  nesrly*  I  do  not  bc' 
Itcve  that  one  Imib  of  my  wbole  body  is 
exempt  from  a  feeling  of  just  iodlgoation 
at  ^he  ioEnlt  yon  bnvc  thereby  offered  to 
me,  to  yourself,  to  my  entire  sex,  and  to 
our  pcwr  children.  If  in  your  heart  yoo 
will  Ihmk  over  the  matter,  remembermg 
how,  for  ten  yearn,  I  have  lived  with  yoa, 
mnd  the  coudnct  1  have  obnerved,  you  can 
do  no  other  than  bear  wituest  to  my 
fidelity,  truth,  aod  proper  behafiour;   I 

'  phould,  therefurei  have  hoped*  as  you  had 
•ucb  strong  proofii  of  my  honour  and 
honesty,  that  you  would  have  denied  all 
credcDG«  to  any  bad  liURpicioni  or  rcportJ^ 
and  that  your  heart  would  have  ^ivcn  them 
no  access,  for  you  ought  certainly  to  better 
tnut  your  own  heart  and  your  own  eyes, 
than  the  light  and  idle  inventions  of  other 
people.  I  cau  only  believe  that  God  has 
withdrawn  from  you  hia  hand,  and  blinded 
yoa  with  sin.  .  .  .  Aj  to  what  Dr.  Merlin 
teltf  roe  from  you  about  the  priaoner's 
avowals,  I  am  by  all  such  avowala  moat 
astounded ;  for  it  is  a  false  and  hideous 
lie,  whether  be  may  have  said  it  or  not, 
and  I  take  God  to  witneaa  that  I  have 
never  broken  my  bridal  oath.  However, 
I  emu  tioderftand,  if  the  priaotier  above 
alluded  to  baa  really  made  such  confeiiions 
(which  I  scarcely  credit) »  that  they  may 
have  been  the  produce  of  fear  of  torture, 
or  of  torture  it*elf  J  for  he  in  aufficicntly 
puflillanimouis  by  nature.  If  you  were  in 
the  hands  of  the  Dtike  of  Alva  (wUttU  God 
forbid  E)  you  might,  perhaps,  nirow  tlmt 
'•Ht^  ia  black ;  coasequentty,  he  is  not, 


perhaps,  so  much  to  bo  blamed  for  aajia^ 
that  which  ia  against  my  honour — anjnaf 
c|ue5tions  geoerally  obtain  lyiog  aniwcra 
— and  so  has  it  happened  in  (his  caae  ; 
but  yoa  will  have  to  answer  it  to  God  aad 
to  all  honourable  men,  that  upon  bare 
suspicions  you  have  im prisoned  an  indi- 
vidual, and  cast  so  gross  a  slur  upon  your 
wifeU  fair  name  I  Secondly,  the  befbre- 
mcntioncd  doctor  tells  me  you  pretend  to 
protc  my  guilt  by  letten  in  your  posaaa- 
sion ;  that  can  you  never  do ;  for  it  will

false  lies  are  those  which  would  effect  that 
of  which  1  never  even  dreamed !  Any  one 
may  easily  recognise  the  lie;  for,  supposing 
me  to  have  forgotten  myself  (from  which 
the  Almighty  has  preserved  and  will  pre- 
serve me),  I  fancy  1  should  have  called 
no  one  by  to  witness  it.  How  often  one

this  said  doctor,  to  examine  well  my  con- 
science, and,  should  I  recognise  my  goilt, 
to  avow  it  in  time,  so  that  means  may  be 
devi«ed  of  keeping  it  secret,  and  prevent-

from  being  despised  on  account  of  their 
mother's  crime  f 

I  have  eaamined  my  conscience,  and 
find  myself  uinocent  of  all  the  disbonotir 
whereof  you  accuse  me,  ond  justly  will  tko 
contempt  attach  to  my  children  through 
my  me-ins.  But  I  now  entreat  of  yon  that 
you  will  descend  into  your  conscience,  and 
will  examine  it  and  reflect  upon  the  vast 
shame  you  are  bringing  upon  your  chil- 
dreu  and  yourself,  if  you  allow  uH  this  to 
go  further,  and  become  matter  for  peopk*a

you  should  let  drop  reports  you  have  ao 
lightly  listened  to  and  credited,  and  not 
permit  them  to  circuUte  any  further,  to 
your  own  shame,  and  to  the  delight  of

you  have  advanced,  God  is  my  witnesi

Anne  of  Saxony. 

Wliat  ensued  doea  not  very  clearly 
iipjiear :  save  tfiat,  shortly  aller  this 
letter  had  been  written  by  the  Priucess, 
the  coniessron  of  her  paratnour  was 
read  to  her^  and  the  man  himself  wrote 
to  her  apprising  her  of  the  course  he 
had  taken.  Overwhelmed  by  accumu- 
lated proofa  of  hvpoeriay  and  guilti 
her  courageous  impudence  gave  way. 
She  confessed  her  crime,  and  threw 
herself  upon  the  mercy  of  !ier  bus- 
V>and.  The  followin^r  letter  to  her  pa- 
ramour bears  date  three  days  ailer  the 
one  we  Iiave  just  quoteel. 

I  have  received  your  letter  with  joy 
(writer  she),  for  it  teaches  me  that  the 
Lord  bos  been  pleased  to  give  yon  the 
g^race  to  atow  the  great  and  heavy  sin  that 
we  two  have  committed,  and  likewise  that 
you  comfort  your&elf  with  His  Word,  and 
give  up  to  him  all  care  of  you  for  life  or 
death.  It  waa  no  slight  torment  to  me  to 
think  that,  perhaps,  for  my  sake,  you 
would  refuse  to  malie  this  avowal,  and  thnt 
I  should  therehy,  in  fact,  be  the  canse  of 
your  damnation  in  body  and  soul;  but 
now,  as  1  perceive^  the  Lord  ha«  merci> 
fully  delivered  me  from  this  anxiety.  In 
regard  to  mjself,  I  have  this  day  also  con- 
fe.^sed  my  crime  before  God,  and  before 
all  men,  and  doubt  not  but  the  Lord  who 
i&  so  compassionate  will  forgive  me.  I 
acknowledge  so  entirely  my  guilt  towards 


my  husband,  that  1  have  caused  my  most 
humble  pardon  to  be  asked  of  him  ;  and 
hope  that,  with  his  habitual  goodnest,  he 
will  be  merciful  and  not  just,  as  hitherto 
he  has  shown  himself  both  towards  you 
and  me ;  for  if  he  had  acted  with  more 
justice,  he  would  have  allowed  neither  of 
us  to  be  so  well  treated  as  we  have  been, 
and  therefore  I  trust  the  Almighty  will  to 
inspire  him,  that  he  shall  show  yet  more 
pity  and  save  your  life,  which  1  wish  with 
all  my  heart,  in  order  that  you  may  be 
once  more  united  to  yonr  wife  and  chii* 
dren*  1  feel  myself  very  ill  at  ease,  for 
having  so  ill  rewarded  your  wife  for  all  her 
services;  and  for  yourself,  I  commend 
you  to  tlie  Divine  mercy  and  protection, 
and  implore  God*s  grace  to  comfort  and 
console  you,  and  preserve  ns  from  sin  such 
as  we  have  committed.

Secresy  waa  preaerved  an  to  the 
cause  of  the  sepumtion  which  ensued, 
and  four  years  afterwards,  when  the 
iVince  was  about  to  embark  for  a  third 
time  upon  the  ventures  of  inatrimon^^ 
a  sentence  of  divorce  was  procured  m 
some  quiet  but  not  id  together  private 
way.  The  sentence  was  founded  pro- 
bably upon  the  lady's  confession,  but 
the  partial  secreay  increased  the  very 
evil  it  was  intended  to  avoid,  and  gave 
rise  to  a  multitude  of  unjusi  suspicions 
against  the  Prince, 

William*fl  third  wife  was  Charlotte 
de  Bourbon,  IMademoiselle  de  Mont- 

t)ensier.  She  had  been  brought  up  by 
ler  mother  as  a  Protestant,  but  the 
Duke  her  father  had  inveigled  her  into 
a  nunnery,  and  confined  her  there,  out 
of  spite,  it  was  said^  to  her  mother,  who 
had  contrived  to  complete  the  aliena- 
tion from  Rome  of  her  eldest  daughter 
by  efTecting  her  marriage  with  the 
Duke  de  Sctinn.  Charlotte  was  kept 
in  her  nunnery  many  years,  **  though 
losing  no  opportunity  to  protest  against 
her  forced  confinement."  In  1572  the 
nunnery  fell  into  the  power  of  the 
IJuguenots,  and  the  Princess  escaped 
to  Heidelberg,  where  slie  lived  amongst 
people  who  looked  upon  the  Prince  of 
Orange  as  exhibitiuff  the  y^ry  perfec- 
tion of  heroism,  Slie  entered  heart 
and  soul  into  the  general  feeling,  and 
the  Prince,  no  less  attracted  by  the 
admirable  i^nalities  of  the  high-born 
Frenchwoman,  determined  to  unite 
their  fates.  His  friends  were  unani- 
mous in  advising  him  against  the  match, 
which  waa  condemned  by  the  world  at

The  Prince  wa«  of  atioilier  mind.  Ue

all  "the  cares,  occupations,  aflair?,  and

offers  were  anything  but  enticing,  Hia 
charge  to  his  ambassador,  whom  he 
sent  with  his  proposals,  ran  as  follows : 

He  alwll  say  that  almost  all  my  poascAsiona 
are  settled  on  my  fir^t  children,  and  thnt 
on  that  account  I  have  no  power  to  asiore

aa  a  prelude  to  her  consent ;  but  the

atfectionate  wile,  and  «oon  overcame^ 
by  the  universal  propriety  of  her  coo- 
duct,  the  prejudices  which  she  bad  at

of  liis  friends,  came  altimatdy  to  wrtit

In   March,   15d2,  an  attempt  was 
made  to  assassinate  the  Prince.    A  ball 
from  a  pistrd  entering  under  his  ear  oti 
one  side  of  his  fai^e,  passed  out  at  hia 
oppoaite  cheek.     ViolenL  hemorrhag^i  ' 
ensued  from  a  severed  vein,  and  lor  { 
tiiaoY  days  his  life  was  thought  to  be  , 
in  tne  greatest  danger.     The  anxiet/ 
of  his  affectiooatc  wife  was   intense^ 
The  Prince  recovered,  but  she  fell  n  j 
victim  to  fatigue  and  trouble.    On  tls« 
dth  May,  1262,  the  Prince  waa  again 
a  widower.    By  Charlotte  de  Botirboil 
he  had  six  daughterei,  but  no  son. 

The  Prince'jj  fourth  wife  was  Louisa

tyrauny  of  tLeir  :ibbef«5t  and  bhe  was 
ordered  by  imperiul  decrt.M3  to  exf>el 
th«  LubftdisU  from  hur  teiritorj.  She 
refuised.  To  defy  an  emperor  waa  a 
thing  congenial  to  the  daughter  of 
Freoerick  V.  and  she  did  so.  The 
Labadista  had  more  diacrction  than 
their  protectress.  They  retired  to 
Altona,  where  unliraited  liberty  of  con- 
science had  just  been  proclaimed. 
They  went  forth  ebaiiting  the  praises 
of  tJie  Princess  FnlntineT  and  the  latter 
satialled  her  pride  by  haughtily  de- 
claring that  she  hud  bent  to  neither 
kingf  nor  kaiser »  but  had  treated 
with  the  s4Lme  disdain  the  imperial 
power  and  her  own  rebellious  sub- 
jects. 

The  reception  given  to  these  people 
by  Elizabetli,  anil  the  favour  which 
she  extended  to  their  doctrines,  a^ 
well  as  to  their  persons,  made  her 
thenceforth  a  mark  for  all  holders  of 
peculiar  opinions.  The  Quakers  opened 
communication  a  with  her,  She  was 
visited  by  William  Peun,  and  corre- 
sponded with  him,  and  held  relidous 
meetings  with  Quaker  deputations. 
Her  relations  were  ashamed  of  her, 
and  declared  she  had  become  imbecile. 
The  present  autboreas  seems  to  partake 
in  that  opinion.  Wo  cannot  see  any 
evidence  that  such  was  the  fact.  Her 
descent,  the  traditions  of  her  family, 
and  her  own  personal  history  are  quite 
sufficient  to  explain  everything  that 
may  be  read  about  her.  Nor  are  we 
willing  to  conclude  with  our  authoress 
that  "  pure,  genuine,  orthodox  Christi- 
anity, without  regard  to  the  diviaions 
of  Catholic  and  Protestant,"  was  "  as 
little  adopted  in  fact  by  Elizabeth 
as  Quakerism,  Mcthotlism,  or  any 
other  religious  form.'*  She  evidently 
possessed  many  of  the  faults  of 
most  royal  people — faults  almost  in- 
separable from  their  education.  She 
was  self-willed,  proud,  obstinate,  and 
overbearing.  These  are  unchristian 
qualities ;  but  that  would  be  a  harsh 
unchristian  judgment  which  would 
deny  to  their  possessors  all  right  to 
the  character  of  Christians.  Combined 
with  these  infirmities  we  see  much  that 
might  be  truly  Christian  in  her  con- 
duet.  Even  the  reception  of  the  La- 
badipts  and  the  friendship  shewn  to  the 
Quakers  might  be  the  result  of  an  en- 
larged spirit  of  toleration,  irrespective 
of  "the  divisions  of  Cutholic  and  Fro-

testant,"  in  which  spirit  might  be  found 
the  very  life  and  e.^scnceof  "pure,  genu- 
ine Christian ity."  We  omit  the  word 
**ciHhodox/*  It  has  been  so  much 
abused  as  to  be  unfit  to  be  introduced 
Into  such  a  question. 

Af\er  the  removal  of  the  Labadists 
the  Princess  Elizabeth  seems  to  hnve 
done  wliat  she  couhl  to  regain  the 
affection  of  her  little  band  of  alienuteil 
subjects  ;  and,  if  Penn  be  admitted  as 
ft  witness,  not  without  success.  Nor 
should  it  be  forgotten,  in  considering 
the  biography  of  one  whose  Christi- 
anity is  questmnefl  by  her  biographer, 
that  she  accomplished  her  end  not  by 
unworthy  concessions  to  popular  pre- 
judices, but  by  the  practice  before 
them  of  graces  which  we  would  fain 
believe  were  Christian.  Hear  what  is 
said  of  her  by  Penn  :— 

She  would  co uetantly,  every  last  day  in 
the  week,  sit  tn  judgment,  and  hear  and 
determine  cause^i  herself',  where  her  pa- 
tieoce,  justice,  and  mercy  were  admirable ; 
frequently  remitting  her  forfeitures  where 
the  party  waa  poor,  or  other  wise  raerito- 
rioos.  And,  which  was  excellent,  though 
uoQSual,  she  would  temper  her  diAcoursefi 
with  reli^oiii  and  strangely  draw  con- 
ceraeii  partie§  to  submission  and  agree- 
ment ;  exercising:  not  so  much  the  rigour 
of  her  power  as  the  power  of  her  pereua- 
gjou. 

Her  meek ne IE  and  humility  appeared  to 
me  extraordinary ;  she  never  couddered 
the  quality »  but  the  merit  of  the  people  she 
entertained.  Did  she  hear  of  a  retired 
maU}  hid  from  the  worlds  and  seeking  after 
the  {knowledge  of  a  better^  she  was  sure  to 
set  him  down  in  the  catalogue  of  her 
charity  if  he  wanted  it.  I  have  casually 
seen,  I  believe,  fifty  tokens  sealed  and 
superscribed  to  the  MVeral  poor  lubjecta 
of  her  bounty,  whose  distances  would  not 
Bufler  them  to  know  one  another^  though 
they  knew  her,  whom  yet  some  of  them 
had  never  seen.  Thus,  though  she  kept 
no  sumptuous  table  in  her  owu  court,  she 
spread  the  tables  of  the  poor  in  their  soli- 
tary cells,  breaking  brejid  to  virtuous  pil- 
grims, according  to  their  want  and  her 
ability  ;  abstemious  in  herself*  and  la  ap- 
parel void  of  all  vain  ornaments.  1  must 
needs  say  her  mind  had  a  nohle  prospect ; 
her  eye  was  to  a  better  and  more  lasting 
inheritance  than  can  be  found  below,  which 
made  her  often  to  despise  the  greatness  of 
courts  and  learning  of  the  schools,  of  which 
she  was  an  extraordinary  judge.  Being 
once  at  Hamburgh,  a  religions  person 
whoia  she  went  to  see  for  religion's  sake, 
teliinir  her  it  wa«  too  grent  an  honour  for

t4>  the  fury  of  the  anarchrsta,  who  were 
annoyetl  bj  his  politeness  and  firmness ; 
ami  nbamloned  or  ill- supported  by  the 
moderates,  who  diii trustee  1  his  bold- 
ness.** Ilis  term  of  oflice  ended  by  the 
foUowmg  letter  from  the  King: — "1 
inform  you,  sir,  that  I  have  just  nomi- 
nnted  M.  do  Grave  to  the  depnrtment 
of  w:ir.  You  will  deliver  up  your  port- 
folio to  him.**  This  was  three  months 
before  the  20th  of  June.  lie  himself 
was  proscribed  the  11th  of  August, 
and  saved  from  death  only  by  the  COU- 
ra^couiJ  friendship  and  privdeged  po- 
sition of  Madame  de  Slliel.  The  end 
of  timt  fatal  year  saw  him  emigrate 
into  England,  where  he  lived  in  inti- 
mate communion  with  nio^t  of  the 
lending  men  of  the  day,  always  e^f- 
cepting  Burke,  whose  liorror  of  the 
Revolution  was  so  great  that  he  refused 
all  kind  of  social  intercourse  even  with 
its  first  actors  and  subsequent  victims. 

When  the  news  arrived  of  the  ap- 
proaching trial  of  the  King,  M.  de 
Narbonne  assembled  together  all  those 
of  his  ancient  coJletigues  who  were  iu 
London  at  the  time,  rec[uiring  frotn 
them  a  common  declaralion  in  which 
each  should  take  on  himself  the  re- 
sponsibility of  his  ministerial  actn,  and 
in  which  they  should  demnud  permis- 
sion to  appear  at  the  bar  of  the  Con- 
vention to  defend  themselves,  each  in 
his  own  name,  and  for  his  own  share 
of  the  imputed  governmenlul  crimes, 
and  so  rcbeve  the  monarch  of  part  of 
the  weight  of  impeachment.  This  *Hra- 
dition  of  Strallord,"  as  it  vtaa  called, 
negatived  by  the  refugees,  on  nc- 

,nt  of  the  ilit^idity  of  the  Conven- 
tion* M.  de  Narbonne  then  alone 
wrote  to  the  Convention,  denmndlnj 
the  power  of  rendering  an  account  or 
bis  ministerial  labours,  and  the  per- 
inission  to  take  on  himself  the  rcsi>on- 
sibility  of  all  tbfit  he  had  done.  The 
tribunal  refused  bim^  i\»  also  a  safe 
conduct  to  Lally  de  Tollendal,  who 
ofiered  to  plead  the  King'^  cause.  But 
thii  was  a  noble  act  in  De  Nurbonne*s 
life,  and  one  not  to  be  forgotten. 

His  endeavours  to  make  Pitt  take  up 
the  royal  cause  were  also  unsuccessfuL 
**  England  could  not,*"  said  the  English 
minigter,  **^  for  any  consideration  in  the 
world  expose  herself  to  intercede  in 
vain  for  sudi  a  cause,  and  befoits  such 
men,"  It  waa  only  after  the  decapita- 
tiou  of  the  monarch  that  the  '^  keavea- 


bom  minister**  throw  olf  hiij  cloak  of 
non-intervention,  and  declared  war  to 
the  republican  government  of  France. 
ftl.  de  Niirbonne  waf  now  as  zealous 
in  the  defence  nf  hii  counti7  as  he  had 
been  of  bis  Kin^f;  but  **Fitt,**  says 
Villemain,  "struck  with  a  secret  terror, 
as  well  as  ulcerated  with  implacable 
haired  against  all  that  was  done  in 
France,  hating  (he  French  Revolution 
with  a  politicsd  and  personal  hatred, 
fearing  it  for  the  constitution,  the  laws, 
the  domestic  life  of  England,"  looked 
on  war  as  the  only  means  of  arresting 
its  progress,  believing  that  the  pro- 
scribed French  would  aid  the  invading 
armies.  Narbonne  was  opposed  to  this 
view : — 

I  know  only  one  ihinf  of  Frimce  (h« 
laid),  which  ia,  that  excess  of  peril  may 
render  her  inTiuoible,  and  that  under  the 
iutersal  lyraany  to  which  she  submita  ia 
a  paaaionate  love  of  her  tcmtonal  inde- 
pendence.  At  the  threat  of  war  and  of 
iDvaiion  I  hate  seen  thousands  of  voluu- 
tecra  assemble  under  the  tricolor  ffag.  I 
hava  seen  royalist  officers  become  renub- 
lican  under  the  fire  of  the  enemy,  nud  the 
point  of  honoor  of  birth  nmcb  lees  powerful 
than  the  eotrnteraigib  The  threats  of  the 
foreigQeT  coonterbalanoe  the  exceisca  of 
the  ibterior  rtffir^tf  and,  under  a  detested 
power,  jou  will  meet  with  a  people  devoted 
to  the  bleeding  country  they  defend.  I 
have  done  too  little  in  my  short  tenure  of 
office*,  but  what  I  then  saw  and  knew  la 
sacred  for  me.  Men  who  have  miogled 
in  the  government  of  their  country  have 
contracted  another  debt  be^ldfi  that  of 
common  Adelity  :  they  are  pledged  to  the 
country  as  it  the  priest  to  the  man  whose 
confession  he  has  receifed,  and  whoie  in- 
terior condition  he  Ivus  seen.  There  ia  a 
■ecrot  therein  of  which  itulhing  permita 
the  revelation — neither  the  miafortane  nor 
even  the  crime  of  those  who  have  confided 
it  !  hate,  like  you,  sir  (he  coDtinaed)i 
the  san^inary  policy  of  the  corhmitteea 
of  the  Convention  ;  1  expect  for  myself 
from  them  only  proscription  and  death* 
Ilut  if,  from  my  administratiou  of  war  and 
the  recollections  which  it  has  left  me,  I 
should  say  one  word  hurtful  to  the  military 
defence  of  my  country,  I  elioiihl  believe 
myself  a  traitor,  and  should  be  one.  I 
prefer  rather  to  be  an  exile,  hunted  per- 
haps soon  from  his  exile  as  ho  has  been 
from  his  country. 

The  conversation  was  not  prolonged 
after  this.  The  separation  wu^  cold ; 
and  a  few  weeks  after  M.  de  Narbonne 
WAS  imperatively  commanded  to  leave

vie^ii,  the  calm  and  clcameM  of  his  com- 
(nandi,  he  appeared  the  natural  chief  of 
all  thoic  whom  hi§  fortune  entranced. 

We  havQ  cited  this  passage  at  lengtli, 
aa  about  the  best  and  most  eloquent  of 
ft  writer  considered  among  me  best 
and  most  eloquent  in  France. 

In  1809  the  fortunes  of  the  eX' 
minister  M.  de  Narbonne  began  to  re- 
llouruih.  Invited  by  the  Due  de  Fel- 
tres,  minister  of  war,  to  take  service 
under  the  Emperor,  who  restored  him 
his  title  of  General,  he  undertook  the 
goyermnent  of  Eaab  during  the  cam- 
paign of  Esdiing  and  Wagram.  From 
thence  he  was  sent  to  be  governor  of 
Trieste,  where  hia  mother,  or  his  re- 

Suted  motlier,  had  lived  ever  since  the 
eath  of  her  patronesses,  Mesdomes 
Vicloire  and  Adelaide.  Madame  de 
Narbtuine  was  of  the  old  regime^  a 
determined  enemy  to  the  Revolution, 
and  to  eaeh  and  ail  of  its  fruits;  re- 
fusing all  the  advantages  which  her 
son's  tKisition  might  have  afforded  her, 
"havmg  no  less  repugnance  for  the 
benefits  than  for  the  power  of  the  Em- 
peror," When  Napoleon  knew  of  this, 
he  said  good-humouredly,  "  Ah  ^a, 
mon  cher  Narbonne,  il  n*est  pas  bon 
pour  mon  service  que  vous  voyiez  trop 
fiouventvotremere;  on  m'assure  qu*elle 
ne  m'liime  pas/' — **  It  est  vrai,  Sire," 
repondit  le  sincere  courtisan,  "  elle  en 
est  rest4^e  II  radrairation/* 

On  the  marriage  of  Napoleon  with 
Marie-Louise,  Narbonne  was  nomi- 
nated grand-master  of  the  household 
of  the  Empress;  but  on  her  steadily 
refusing  to  sanction  or  accept  that  no- 
mination from  a  generous  feeling,  in- 
sisting on  maintaining  the  Count  dc 
Beauharnais  in  that  position,  Napo* 
Icon  cut  short  the  difficulty  by  makmg 
Narbonne  his  aide-de-camp  at  the  age 
of  fifty- five.  From  thence  begins  the 
more  important  part  of  these  memoirs, 
detailing  as  they  do  private  conver- 
sations between  the  Emperor  and  his 
aide-de-camp,  for  a  period  of  three 
years;  to  which  con versations, we  pre- 
sume, M.  ViUeniain  can  lay  greater 
claims  of  authenticity,  than  a  fertile 
imagination  which  on  a  word  has  built 
up  a  dialogue — on  a  hint  has  fashioned 
a  theory. 

Of  the  Russian  campaign  M.  Ville- 
main  says,  that  many  have  deceived 
themselves  as  to  the  nature  of  the  war, 
taking  that  for  its  essential  cause  which 


was  sumply  the  pretext.  Notwith- 
standing Napoleon^s  animosity  to  the 
English,  and  his  desire  to  close  Europe 
against  them  as  they  had  closed  tnc 
sea  against  him,  he  did  not  pursue  an^ 
system  of  Continental  blockade  on  his 
way  to  I^Ioscow.  Ue  himself  contra- 
vened the  blockade  by  his  "  licences," 
knowing  it  to  be  in  the  end  impracti- 
cable, though  still  endeavouring  to 
make  it  as  hurtful  as  possible  to  the 
enemy.  The  ukaae  of  the  Emperor 
Alexander,  of  the  25th  December, 
1810,  admitting  English  merchandise 
under  a  neutral  tlag,  had  annoyed  him 
above  everything  else,  as  a  declaration 
of  independence,  and  as  prophetic  of 
that  terrible  rivalry  which  he  saw 
would  come  one  day,  and  which  he 
wished  to  annihilate  during  his  life- 
time ;  **  believing  it^"  ho  said,  "  too  for- 
midable for  any  one  who  should  be 
only  his  heir."  *He  feared  the  Tartar 
races ;  going  back  to  the  olden  times 
when  they  first  poured  down  into  the 
South,  and  holding  to  the  belief  of 
their  destiny  and  inherited  instinct  of 
future  conquests.  "  Remember  Su- 
varoffand  his  Tartars  in  Italy,"  he  said. 
"  The  answer  is,  banish  them  beyond 
Moscow.  And  when  can  Eurone  do 
this  if  not  now,  and  by  me  ?  "  lie  had 
conceived  this  fear  from  the  time  when 
he  had  seen  the  Russians  in  Italy,  and 
had  believed  that  the  superabundant 
energy  created  in  1789  ought  to  van- 
quish barbarism  by  revolution^  and  the 
northerns  by  the  southerns,  lie  said 
that  Marius  had  adjourned  the  Gothic 
invasion  for  three  ages,  and  that  his 
victories  had  created  Cicsar;  and  he 
added, — 

The  difficulty  in  this  war  is  only  one  of 
moral  order.  In  using  the  material  force 
accumulated  by  the  Revolution,  no  passions 
must  he  imchaiDed  :  Poland  must  be  raised, 
but  not  emancipated ;  and  the  independ- 
ence of  Western  Europe  assured  without 
rousing  any  republican  ferment.  Here  is 
all  the  problem.  You  know  bow  that  wsr 
in  my  hands  has  been  the  antidote  of 
anarchy ;  and,  now  that  I  wish  to  oao  M 
again  to  osiure  the  independence  of  the 
West,  I  muit  take  care  that  it  does  not 
reanimote  whut  it  has  suppressed — the 
spirit  of  revolutionary  liberty.  I  love  the 
Poles  on  the  field  of  battle;  they  are  a 
valiant  race;  but  as  to  their  delibemtife 
aasemblieft,  their  tiberum  veto,  their  diets 
on  horseback  with  naked  sabres,  I  wish 
nothing  of  all  that.     I  wish  In  Poland  a

camp  and  not  a  forum.  However,  we 
sbttll  hate  a  kind  of  diet,  to  ftupport  the 
levien  to  be  tnade  in  the  Grand  Duchy  of 
WarfAWf  but  nothing  beyond.  1  wiil  make

lmpot*tttiit  words  these !  getting  forth 
plainly  enough  Napoleon*s  double- 
dealing  with  Poland,  nnd  showing  the 
total  want  of  frankness  and  truth  in 
the  saviour  to  whom  they  trusted  for 
their  deliverrtiit!e, 

In  vain  Bassano  and  De  Nnrbonne 
opy>ose<l  these  views ;  in  vain  thcj  re- 
presented that  Moacow  was  not  Russia, 
and  that  the  Russians  even  conquered 
at  Moscow  would  not  be  conquered  in 
their  power  and  strength;  that  the 
Emperor*s  own  idea  of  preventing  a 
new  invasion  of  barbarians  showed  tnat 
this  was  not  a  war  with  a  civilized 
nation;  and  that  other  modes  ofobtain- 
jng  victory  than  by  ** mouths  of  lire" 
and  "tbousanda  of  soldiers,"  should  be 
resorted  to,  and  that  the  re-establish- 
ment  of  the  Polish  nationality,  the 
reorganization  of  the  Polish  kingdom^ 
was  a  better  manner  of  eonijuest  than 
the  taking  of  Moscow;  in  vain  they 
urged  on  Iiim  the  lengtli  of  the  way, 
the  deserts  to  be  traversed,  the  late- 
ness of  the  season,  anti  the  irregular 
mode  of  Cossack  warfare*  Bent  on 
hia  own  ruin^  and  blinded  bjf  the  mythic 
glory  of  the  conquest  of  the  imperial 
city,  Napoleon  listened  to  none  but  his 
own  reasonings,  believed  in  none  but 
bin  own  views,  ''  A  terrible  blow,"  he 
said,  **8truok  to  the  heart  of  the  empire 
in  Moscow  the  Grand,  Moscow  the 
Holy,  will  deliver  up  to  me  on  the 
instant  this  blind  ami  apathetic  nation.'^ 
No  oth^jr  argument  could  reach  him. 

But  perhaps  the  secret  atler  all  lay 
in  the  belief  that  from  Russia  he  could 
march  to  India,  to  i^trike  the  English 
there  in  their  stronghold,  **Had  it 
not  been  for  the  English  corsair  and 
the  French  emigrant  who  directed  the 
Turkisli  fire,  and  whichi  joined  to  the 
plague,  mnde  him  abandon  the  siege  of 
Ht»  Jean  d'Aci*e,  he  would  then  have 
made  the  conquest  of  half  of  Asia,*'  he 
said ; ''  but  now,  suppose  Moscow  token, 
Ka88ia  subdued,  the  Czar  reconciled. 


or  dead  from  some  palace-plot — ^per- 
haps a  new  throne  and  a  dependent 
one — tell  me  if  there  is  no  access  to 
the  Ganges  for  a  large  army  of  French^ 
men  and  of  auxiliaries  from  Teftis— 
the  Ganges,  which  only  nee«ls  to  b€ 
touched  with  a  French  sword  to  destroy 
the  whole  scnifolding  of  mercantile  , 
greatness  throughout  India." 

Napoleon  also  counted  on  the  aid  of  I 
the  Turks  in  this  campaign  \  for  he  said  J 
that  Turkey  had  been  too  ill-treated 
by  Russia  not  to  be  implacable  against 
her  on  the  first  occasion  ;  and  though 
they  might  be  afraid  of  him  and  watch  j 
him  narrowly  in  Egypt,  stiH,  men  wer*  ] 
always  governed  by  their  principal  fears 
and  hatreds,  and  the  Turks,  owing  mor6 
hatred  to   Russia,   and   having  moPtj 
cause  of  fear  from  her  than  from  hina« 
self,  would  naturally  support  his  causd  ] 
by   harassing  the  enemy    for  them- 
selves. After  this  conversation,  filled  ai 
it  was  with  large  visions  of  the  future^  1 
with  wild  dreams  and  wilder  hopei^J 
II nd  with  a  very  Arabian  Nights'  eattw 
of  glory,  De  I^arbonne  cried  out  ail 
he  xiassed  young   Villemain,    **  Quet'i

judgment   true   of   most  great  men| 
whose   victories   one   scarcely  knowtfj 
whether  to  ascribe  to  destiny  or  to  cal*l 
culation, — whose  gemus  leans  as  tnuchj 
to  madness  as  it  does  to  inspiration,- 
and  whose  losses  always  hover  on  th^ 
borders  of  success,  as  their  victorie 
always  pa^s  before  the  gates  of  ruin. 

On  the  9  th  of  May  Napoleon 
Paris  for  his  Russian  campaign ;  a  t 
date  for  such  a  brief  season  of  actio 
as  the  climate  afforded.   Bat  a  judicia 
blindness  seems  to  have  been  cast  ove 
him,  and,  wrapped  up  in  schemes 
gh)ry,  he  neglected  many  of  the  prin*. 
cipal  means  of  succcis.   From  Dresden

diction  on  all  Russian  commerce  witH 
England.     Alexander  was  firm  in  his 
intention  of  braving  the  war,  having, 
as  he  said,  space  and  time  for  himself ii

Uii  name  and  an  inacriptian  as  the  i^le 
proofs  of  bia  design, — one  of  the  most 
fatal  of  the  many  mistakes  made  in  thid 
disasti^ouj  campaign;  for  Poland  ru- 
atored,  a  nation  whole  and  entire,  and 
devoted  to  him,  woidd  have  been  one 
of  hJfl  moat  powerful  allies  for  tlie  i>re*

and  hml  Bonaparte  seen  either  hi

stepped  forward  then  as  she  is  obligeil 
to  do  now — the  history  of  tho  present 
would  be  written  in  very  diflerent  cha- 
racters to  what  it  is  written  in  tonlay ! 

Kew  delays  at  Vtlna,  owing  lo  tbc 
scarcity  of  provisions,  to  sicknussi  and 
the  embarraasment  of  moving  Uia  im* 
menijo  tu'my,  threw  the  campaign  yet 
more  tlangeroii^Iy  late,  the  Russians 
quietly  retreating;  but  still  and  still, 
in  spite  of  alt  that  was  urged  on  him, 
the  Emperor  saw  but  hope  and  triumph 
in  the  end*  and  the  fatal  march  went 
tn*  The  only  chance  of  a  tiLtohed 
luittte  was  at  Vitepsk.  The  French 
were  intoxicated  with  joy  at  the  pros- 
pect of  a  ti-ial  of  stren^,  duahed,  too, 
by  a  brilliant  skirmiiih  beailed  and  won 
on  that  day  by  I^Iuratt  But  in  the 
oighttUoiselesaly,  like  an  army  oi  ghosts, 
the  Euasians  struck  their  tents  and 
marched  away  into  tho  darkness  and 
the  distance ;  and  not  a  man  of  all  the 
French  army  knew  until  the  daylight 
came  that  they  hud  gone,  and  no  one 
could  tell  which  way  they  ha<l  taken. 

^^Thc  campaign  of  1812  is  finished,^' 
iaid  Nnpolcun  impatiently,  as  he  re- 
turned to  the  dettertcil  town^  after  a 
^n  attempt  to  di^^cover  the  retreating 
army :  ''  that  of  )  81 3  shall  do  the  rest/' 
And  his  intention  then  was  to  remain 
al  Vitepsk  for  the  winter,  to  rally  and 
to  rest  nts  army,  and  to  reorganiae  the 
kingdom  of  Poland.  But  in  a  few 
days,  aa  if  urged  on  bv  delirium,  re'> 
poiMtsed  hy  his  old  idea  of  Motcerw 
and  the  Cmj  ittbmifliivet  he  gave 


orders  to  continue  the  march ;  and, 
oarelesa  of  the  councils  of  Duroc,  Nar- 
bonne,and  others,  ho  pursued  still  this 
mirage  of  victory,  which  was  to  be 
tamed  into  a  lake  of  blood  instead » 
On  the  1 3th  of  August  the  French 
army,  decimated  by  desertion,  sick- 
ness, want  of  medical  aid,  and  famine, 
by  murderous  skirmishes  and  by  in* 
dividual  a^iaaiinations,  set  out  from 
Vitepk  to  wttrm  its  frozen  blood  by 
the  fires  which  Moscow  itself  lighted 
up  for  its  own  funeral  pile. 

A  terrible  instance  of  Russian  cun- 
ning was  in  the  accidental  retention 
at  Moscow  of  an  *^  important  personage 
in  the  Russian  police,"    Thit  import' 

mt  peraonage  received  from  Nnpoleoa 
10  miasion  of  carrying  to  the  C^ar  an 

lUtograph  latter  and  offers  of  peace. 

One  knows  (»aji  our  author)  how  that 
old  Ruifidn  general  who,  succeeding  to 
the  clever  temporiratioas  of  BarcUy  do 
Tolly,  had  undergone  the  terrible  fires  of 
Borodino,  then,  slowly  retreatini^  on  a  way 
itrewn  with  dead,  haa  aaen Moecow  buia 
like  Smolensk,  and  amaaaed  in  his  oae 
heart  aH  the  hatred  of  Eossia^— one  knows* 
I  Bay,  how  Kntusofl"^  intrenched  in  the 
camp  where,  on  the  way  to  Kalouga,  he 
had  placed  his  bleeding  battalioai  in  safety, 
and  daily  recruited  his  army,  suddenly 
appeared  to  wish  for  negociations  and  pre* 
liminary  ooofcrences— how  he  acoepted  for 
himsalf  a  pri?ate  armittice^reoelvad  and 
paased  to  hia  master  meitagGa  from  Nspo. 
leon-^and  was  finally,  with  a  tardy  refusal 
from  the  Czar,  pnbticly  reprimanded  for 
his  indiscreet  under  takiogf  and  for  his  pre^ 
tended  zeal  for  peace  1 

This  was  a  barbarian's  ruse  for  time, 
certainly ;  but  a  ruse  likely  to  succeed 
again  with  the  men  of  civilization,  the 
men  of  Western  Europe,  who  learn  so 
little  from  the  liistory  of  the  past. 

Two  characteristic  anecdotes  of  Na- 
poleon are  given  in  this  detail.  One, 
that  on  the  very  ove  of  the  retreat 
from  Moscow^  workmen  were  employed 
in  taking  down  the  famo^T^  (golden  cross 
of  Ivan  from  the  summit  of  the  cathe* 
Ural,  which  Napoleon  intended  for  tha 
cupola  of  one  of  the  Parisian  churchea, 
lui  the  trophy  and  the  symbol  of  hii 
liussian  conquest*  The  other,  that, 
on  the  march,  seeing  a  carnage  of  a 
form  luid  draught  interdicted,  he  gave 
orders  to  have  it  and  all  its  coutenti 
burnt  on  the  spot.  He  was  told  that 
it  belonged  to  bis  aida*da-oaDipir  M.  de

Wftrds  he  gent  u  thoiisaiul  Napoleotis 
to  M.  de  Narboniie,  by  Duroc,  Inr  he 
Bald  he  knew  that  he  wo.^  not  rich. 
Diiroc  placed  the  money  in  u  casket 
which  had  the  Emperor's  arms  an  it, 
ttod  carried  thl^  and  some  books  to  the 
general.  Narbonae  sent  the  money 
to  a  regiment  of  young  soldiers  who 
seemed  to  suffer  more  man  the  rest ; 
and  the  next  day^  when  the  Emperor 
said  to  him,  kindly,  "  Well,  Narb^Jnne, 
the  loss  of  your  baggage  is  ntrw  re- 
paired ?  you  have  received  ?  "  **  Yes, 
aire,"  he  answered^  *^and  witli  grati- 
tude :  but,  as  your  majesty  will  doubt- 
lessly permit  me,  I  haTc  kept  only  the 
books ;  amongst  others^  two  treatises 
by  Seneca,  ^  De  Beneficjis,*  and  *  De 
Patientia/  They  are  useful  to  have 
with  one  on  a  campaign." 

Another  and  a  very  beautiful  anec- 
dote is  told  of  Narbonne  also*  After 
a  tremendous  night  of  eold  and  hunger, 
when  the  day  broke  over  a  phuir  of 
snow  covered  with  horses  and  with 
men,  the  Emperor  called  his  aide -de- 
camp to  him,  sa^nng  in  a  weakened 
voice,  *'  What  a  night,  my  dear  general 
— it  has  not  been  worse  for  the  senti- 
nels than  for  me,  who  have  passed  it 
in  sleepless  thought.  Cornel  let  the 
guard  be  relieved,  and  do  you  come  to 
the  distribution,  and  take  this  to  re- 
fresh you,  for  courage  alone  docs  not 
keep  one  warm  in  this  cold  of  28  de- 
grees/* He  then  poured  out  a  large 
cup  of  boiling  chocolate  and  coflee 
mixed,  and  gave  it  to  Narbonne*  Tiic 
ftide-de-eamp,  retreating  a  few  steps, 
with  the  cup  in  his  hand,  nearly  ran 
against  a  soldier  of  the  lmi>eriai  Guard, 
lying  on  the  snow,  his  hands  convub- 
ively  grasping  his  fusil,  and  his  whole 
fiiime  ana  ibatures  speaking  of  inde- 
ficribable  suflTering.  Narbonne  btooped 
down  to  him.  "  Well,  mon  bi*ave^'  he 
said,  *'  here  is  a  bad  night  passed  1  at 
least  we  have  the  morning  1  rise."  The 
soldier  made  a  tremendous  effort,  but 
was  unable  to  move  his  limbs,  stiffened 
with  the  cold  as  they  were.  **  Here, 
we  must  help  you  a  little."  Then  said 
de  Narbonne »  giving  him  the  cup  of 
chocolatCt  "  Take  thisj  there  is  more  at 
the  quarter  general."  The  soldier  hesi- 
tated*—carried  his  hand  to  his  bear-skin 
—then  took  the  euji,  and,  having 
emptied  it  at  a  draught,  by  a  struggle 
raised  himself  to  his  full  height,  and 


appeared  what  he  waa^ — one  of  the 
bravest  soldiers  in  the  Imperial  Guard,  i 
"  Ah!  general,"  he  said,  "how  cold  and  ' 
hunger  demoralise  some  men  of  heart. 
Is  it  possible  that  I  shouhl  have  ac- 
cepted that  from  you  who  are  my  su* 
perior,  and  who  have  taken  it  from 
your  own  lips  to  give  to  me  I  I  entreat 
you  to  forgive  me ;  and,  ma  foi^  now 
that  my  stomach  is  warmed  I  am 
ashamed  of  myself."  "  Tut,  my  bro- 
ther !  what  I  have  done  is  very  little, 
and  we  ought  to  divide,  as  brothers, 
the  little  that  remains  to  us ; "  and  then, 
remembering  that  of  the  sixty  thou* 
sand  francs  which  Napoleon  had  paid 
him  on  leaving  Moscow  not  a  sou  re- 
mained^ for  he  had  divided  it  all  with 
the  poor  officers,  be  aaid  to  the  guard 
who  returned  him  the  cup,  "  No,  no, 
tnon  brave!  keep  this  for  tne  expenses 
of  the  journey  ;  the  outside  belongs  to 
you  as  well  as  the  inside,  and  will  be 
useful  in  Poland,  where  we  are  enter- 
ing," The  soldier  drew  back  and  made 
the  military  salute,  absolutely  refusing 
the  gift ;  but  when  Narbonne  pressed 
hiui  again  he  broke  oQ'  a  small  frag-  , 
ment  from  the  rim,  saying,  "I  will 
keep  this  little  Napoleon  from  the 
golden  cup,  and  it  shall  be  my  medal, 
reminding  me  of  the  honour  I  have  ' 
had  in  mounting  guard  at  such  a  fete 
behind  the  Emperor's  carriage,  and 
l>eing  relieved  by  you."  Yet  this  man, 
brave,  devoted,  simple^  generous,  waa 
only  a  type  of  that  glorious  body  of  the 
Imperial  Guard,  left  behind  among  the 
snows  of  Russia — the  fate  of  which 
Napoleon  could  never  thiuk  of  m  after- 
days  without  the  bitterest  regret — the 
flower  of  hiii  army  and  the  pride  of 
France  offered  up  as  a  sacrifice  to  his 
madness  and  ambition. 

The  bulletin  which  preceded  the  re- 
turn of  the  wrecked  army  to  Paris  did 
the  Emperor  more  harm  than  tfae^ 
actual  sorrow  of  which  he  had  been 
the  cause.  At  the  end  of  this  fearful 
history  of  the  dead  and  missing — the 
first  authentic  history  which  had  reached 
France,  were  these  words ; — '■'■  Janmis 
la  sante  de  rEmpereur  n*a  etc  meil* 
leure."  And  also  this  sentence: — "Ceox 
(pic  le  nature  a  crees  superieurs  it  tout, 
conservtirent  leur  gaitc  et  leurs  ma- 
nieres  ordin aires ;  et  ne  virent  dans 
de  nouveaux  perils  que  foccasion^d'une 
gloire  nouvelte."  The  first  was  taken 
as  a  mark  of  inditTerence  and  shame-

irony ;  and  perhaps  together  tbey  did 
more  U>  alienate  the  feelioga  of  the 
nation  than  the  drained  resources,  the 
slaughtered  armies,  or  the  fettered 
thought  which  had  been  his  doing, 
Miiny  tooJc  the  phrase  concerning 
(jfaiety  aa  an  allusion  to  De  Narbonne, 
who  had  become  proverbial  for  the 
serenity  and  eheerfuhiess  of  his  man- 
ners. He  even  kept  up  the  Itnbit  of 
having  liis  hair  dressed  and  powdered 
every  morning,  all  through  the  retreat  j 
imd  there  he  might  be  seen  seated  on 
the  trunk  of  a  tree,  ^aily  chatting  with 
his  comrade^t  his  coiffure  as  carefully 
arranged  as  if  dressing  for  a  levee,  with 
tlje  deep  snow  lyijig  round  him,  and 
the  dead  and  the  dying  at  his  feet. 
One  of  his  most  intimate  friends  com- 
plimented him  on  the  evident  allusion 
to  him  in  the  bulletin,  "  Ah  ! ''  he  said, 
bitterly^  "  fEmpereur  |wut  tout  dire ;

that  redeems  the  anecdote  from  the 
depths  of  egotism  and  vatiity,  raising 
whiit  were  cL*c  a  mere  mockery  and  a 
monkey  puerility  into  a  principle  and 
a  power,  none  the  less  admirable  be- 
cause, jHirhaps,  forced  in  its  particular 
application* 

A  curious  instance  of  Napoleon's 
desire  for  universality  waa  to  be  aeen 
III  the  decree,  dated  from  the  Kremlin, 
regulating  the  aflUirs  of  the  Theatx'e 
Franeais,  This  a^ain  was  done  m  a 
certain  spirit  of  bravado,  a  wish  to 
ap{>ear  at  all  times  suOBcient  for  every 
phase  of  his  position,  and  able  to  con- 
troul  the  internal  arrangements  of  a 
thuatre  while  planning  the  destruction 
of  empires.  Side  by  side  with  this  de- 
cree in  the  Recueil  dea  Lois  de  f  Em- 
pire, stands  the  one  which  orders  mili- 
tary punishment  on  those  parents  who 
favour  the  desertion  of  tneir  sons :  a 
decree  as  false  to  policy  a  a  repugnant 
to  humanity — recalling  times  of  worse 
thaQ  barbarian  tyranny — ^times  when 
the  voice  of  nature  wjis  the  last  voice 
listened  to  among  the  shrieks  and 
screams  of  the  oppressed.  Between 
these  two  decrees  lies  the  whole  Na- 
poleonic world*  They  may  be  taken 
as  the  dais  and  the  footeloth  of  his 
throne;  the  two  extremes  which  em- 
braced and  included  every  other  sym- 
bol of  his  powerf  and  in  the  distance 
between  which  lay  the  secret  of  his  won- 
derful influence  over  his  generation,

To  be  conqueror  of  Ruiisiii,  uiid  to

equally  ardent  wishes  of  Naiwleon. 
lie  protested  indeed  that  he  did  not 
wbh  to  make  an  innovation  in  religion; 
he  but  wished  to  restore  the  times  of 
the  religious  policy  of  Louis  XIV. 
before  the  revocation  of  the  edict  of 
Nantes,  and  to  raise  and  control,  but 
not  enslave  the  church,  "  I  will  not 
be  an  Abdallah-Manon,"  he  said,  "  but 
a  CoEstimtine ;  nL-ither  docile  in  teni- 
floral  nor  schismatic  in  theological 
matters.  If  I  keep  Rome  for  my  son, 
1  will  give  Notre  Dame  to  ih^  Tope; 
but  then  I  will  raise  Paris  ao  high  in 
the  estimation  of  men  that  its  cathedral 
would  naturally  become  that  of  the 
Catholic  world."  And  when  he  re- 
turned from  Russia  he  sent  for  Har- 
bonne,  whom  he  much  wished  to  con- 
vert to  hi  a  views  respecting  the  church* 
But  the  aide-de-camp  held  contrary 
opinions,  and  was  firm  to  them,  advi- 
smg  the  course  which  wiis  adopted 
later  by  necessity,  of  sending  back  the 
Pope  to  Rome  without  conditions, 
fetters^  or  French  garrison,  lie  re- 
fused all  concurrence  in  his  detention, 
jia  well  as  in  the  retrenchment  of  his 
spiritual  power.  It  would  no  longer 
be  the  battle  of  the  Gallican  church 
against  the  excessive  pretensions  of 
Rome,  he  said,  but  the  battle  of  the 
spiritual  chief  of  Christianity — or  at 
least  the  PoutilT  of  one  ofitA  most  ve- 
nerable churches — against  the  chief  of 
the  French  empire.  He  contended  also 
that  the  pontificjd  autocracy  of  the 
Czar,  to  wuich  Napoleon  had  alluded 
as  a  precedent  for  himself,  was  an 
anachronism  impossible  for  Francetaud 
that  the  ecclesiastical  supremacy  exer- 
cised by  the  English  crown  supported 
a  dissenting  church  and  an  estahlished 
schism — at  once  the  civil  sanction  of 
and  the  counterpoise  to  Puritanism — 
a  counterpoise  that  would  be  sooner  or 
later  worthless  and  without  power.  He 
eoDlended  that  in  a  religious  point  of 
view  the  Pope  ought  to  be  free ;  **  and 
to  be  free  in  this  world  one  must  be 
master  somewhere."  Narbonne  added 
to  these  jjohtical  objections  others  of  a 
more  spiritual  character,  so  that  the 
Emperor  asked  with  a  smile,  **  in  what 
boudoir  of  the  cighteentii  century  had 
he  learnt  so  much  theology  ?"  adding 
more  seriously  that  he  deceived  him- 
self as  to  the  present  time;  that  he

Sir  John  Uajrward,  in  hits  Life  and  Roigne  of  King  Edward  the  Slith,  states  that 
Henri  II*  was  tempted  to  declare  war  at  ttie  period  in  q^uestion  on  learning  the  dis- 
tttrbed  Stat*  of  England  from  internal  rebellion.  After  relating  the  circumstances  of 
the  several  iosnrrections  in  Devonshire,  Norfolk,  and  Yorkshbe,  Hay  ward  adds,  *•  Now 
the  French  King,  supposing  to  make  his  hand  bj  these  rode  ravages  in  Enf»land,  brake 
oir  his  treaty  of  peace,  proclaimed  hostilltle,  and  denounced  the  same  by  his  Embassador 
to  the  King.  Hereupon  all  Frenchmen  in  England  not  denizens  were  taken  prisoners, 
and  all  their  goods  seised  for  the  King/'  Shortly  after,  the  French  recaptured  Bou- 
logne, which  had  for  some  years  been  in  the  (lossesaion  of  the  EagUih,

premature  age  :  what  anxious  tliought 
aits  on  the  brow  eveti  at  twenty  I  lujw 
awe-Htriking  ihey  are  at  thirty ! 

The  Lmly  Briiliana  llariey»  wbiwe 
letterij  are  now  given  us  through  the 
instrumentality  of  the  Camden  Society, 
is  ill  no  respect  an  exaggeration  of  the 
serious  wife  and  piother  of  her  time. 
On  the  contrary,  we  biilievc  ber  to 
have  tjeen  in  everything  mild  and  mo- 
tlerate,  though  leaning  always  to  the 
Puritan  side ;  in  thin  according  well 
with  ber  husband,  though  of  a  less 
stem  and  severe  frame  of  laind*     Her 

iiersonai  piety  h  distinctively  her  own. 
t  site  on  her  easily  and  naturally,  and 
coineH  out  mingled  with  every  expres- 
sion of  her  motherly  tenderness  in  her 
long  corres[w>ndence  with  her  son. 
She  Is  not  indee<l  a  Lady  liachel 
Russell,  The  compass*  the  variety 
are  wanting.  Defective  education,  and 
an  inferiority  in  the  associates  of  ber 
life,  to  say  nothing  of  wretched  bo<bly 
health,  appear  toTiave  kept  the  Lady 
Briliiuna  Harley  considerably  below 
even  her  natural  power  of  progress. 
In  a  moral  point  of  view  she  seems  to 
us,  in  30  far  as  tried,  worthy  of  com- 
panionship even  with  that  iucompara- 
tilc  woman  to  whom  we  have  just  ad- 
verted. By  virtue  of  that  common 
bond,  the  steadfast  performance  of 
duties  "as  ever  in  the  great  Tatikmas- 
ter*s  eye,"  a  friendship,  had  they  been 
contemporaries  must  have  grown  up 
between  two  such  noble  natures,  how- 
ever in  other  matters  little  resembling 
etch  other*  For  who  of  like  mind  can 
ever  be  proof  against  the  winning 
power  of  a  bfe  governed  by  the  hit^jhest 
motives,  pursuing  ittf  course  with  a 
hearty  simplicity  of  purpose,  with  the 
determination  to  serve  God  in  sorrow 
and  in  joy  ? 

The  pai't  borne  by  Sir  Robert 
Harley,  husband  to  Lady  Briiliana,  in 
the  civil  wars,  was  by  no  means  an 
obscure  one.  A  country  gentleman, 
inheriting  considerable  personal  estates 
in  Herefordshire,  made  a  Knight  of  the 
Bath  at  the  coronation  of  King  James 
the  First  in  1603,  there  was  time  du- 
ring the  long  life  of  his  father  for  hira 
to  be  well  exercisetl  in  all  social  ques- 
tions, lie  was  married  to  hi;^  iirat  wife 
at  a  very  early  perio<?,  and,  losing  her, 
married  a  second  time ;  this  wife  was 
tlie  jiisster  of  Sir  Kicbard,  afterwards 


Lord  Newport,  of  High  Ercoll,  in  Salop, 
.and  had  no  lesrf  than  nine  children 
by  Sir  Robert,  all  dying  in  infancy. 
**  Last  of  all  the  woman  died  also  ;** 
and,  two  yeiirs  subsequent  to  her  de- 
tf'ease,  Briiliana  Conway,  daughter  of 
Baron  Conway  of  Ragley,  in  Warwick- 
shire, became  the  Lady  Briiliana 
Harley  of  our  present  tale.  Even  then, 
at  the  period  of  this  third  marriage, 
and  for  seven  succceiling  years,  Sir 
Robertas  untitled  father  still  survived, 
and  the  »on  lived  either  in  the  pa- 
ternal castle  at  Brampton  Brian,  or  at 
Stanage  Lodge  in  tne  same  parish. 
There  be  enacted  the  country  gentle- 
man for  tt  large  portion  of  his  time, 
though  all  the  **talk**  was  certainly 
not  **  of  bullocks ;"  for  he  was  a  ma- 
gistrate and  deputy-lieutenant  of  the 
county  of  Hereford,  a  Member  of  Par- 
liament representing  the  borough  of 
Radnor  in  two  of  James  the  First's 
parliaments,  and  the  county  of  Here- 
ford in  that  memorable  assembly  of 
the  twenty -first  of  James,  which  de- 
nounced Lord  Bacon  and  spared  » 
guiHier  man  in  Buckingham. 

The  predilections  of  Sir  Robert  being 
strongly  in  favour  of  Puritan  sim- 
plicity, and,  of  course,  intensely  op- 
posed to  Popery,  we  may  be  very  sure 
that  he  was  one  of  that  "country 
party,"  which,  in  order  to  detect  con- 
cealed Catholics,  supriosed  to  have 
entered  the  House  illegally,  through 
court  favour,  moved  "  that  the  Com- 
mons should  go  in  a  body  and  publicly 
receive  the  Saci'ament  at  St.  Mar- 
garet's Church,"  naming  Archbishop 
Usher  for  the  purpose  of  officiating 
and  preaching  the  sermon. 

The  British  Solomon,  it  may  be  ob- 
aerved,  on  this  occasion,  as  on  most 
others  of  a  like  kind,  attempted  to  dic- 
tate the  discourse,  professing  hia  anxiety 
lest  any  of  his  faithful  servants  should 
not  be  in  a  fit  state  after  so  much  ve- 
hement debating  to  partake  of  the 
sacred  rite,  hinting  the  desirableness  of 
greater  love  to  their  King  and  country, 
and  a  more  ready  granting  of  supplies, 
remembering  that  **He  twice  gives 
who  gives  quickly," 

U slier,  however,  was  too  staunch  a 
Protestant  to  omit  the  main  point,  and 
took  care  to  read  a  strong  lesson  to 
Romanists,  if  any  such  were  present  at 
the  discourse  (delivered  after  all  not 
at  St.  Margaret's  but   in  the  Teui^jle

husband  entering  into  reUellion,  never 
imagining  whnt  misery  it  wouM  bring 
upcm  the  kingdom." 

But  it  is  ri^ht  to  let  the  editor  iay 
more  thun  tlild  : — 

Though  there  are  uo  quotations  •  In 
Freoch  or  Lattu,  it  is  evident  ibe  was  ac^ 
qualm  ted  ^tU  these  lao^ages,  and  her 
mind  well  stored  with  the  knowledge  of 
Holy  Scripture  and  divinity,  as  well  ns  of 
ancient  and  modern  history,  and  fully  in- 
tent upon  the  evcntsi,  both  domeistic  and 
foreign,  of  the  momentouH  years  in  which 
she  lired. 

The  Letters  are  printed  iti  the  order  of 
their  datea ;  some  few  undated  arc  so  pkced 
by  authority  of  internal  evidence.  Upon 
ft  more  careful  examination  of  the  con- 
tents, No.  106  appear*  to  be  misdated  in 
the  year  ^oot  an  uncommon  mistake,  when, 
as  in  these  letters,  the  old  style  is  used^ 
and  the  new  year  commenced  25th  March), 
and  misplaced,  and  the  undated  letter  No. 
1S4,  misptaccd. 

All  the  letters  except  the  first,  dated 
Eagley,  the  seat  of  her  father  In  Warwick- 
shire, are  from  Bromton  or  Brompton, 
now  Brampton  Bryan  Ca§tlc,  They  are 
written  in  a  bold  and  legible  hand,  vvith 
few  contractions,  and  scarcely  an  erasure ; 
but  the  use  of  capitals,  and  the  spelling , 
not  only  of  the  names  of  persons  and 
placesi  but  of  everyday  words,  are  varied 
and  irrcguhir.  A  few  of  the  letters  are 
written  by  an  amanuensiij  in  seasons  of 
sickueAS}  but  signed  by  herself  as  usual, 
or  with  her  initials*  They  were  generally 
sent  by  an  express  messenger  or  tbe  car- 
rier, occaafonally  by  a  friend,  or  the  trades- 
men, but  most  rarely  by  the  post  of  Here- 
ford, Leominster,  Shrewsbury,  or  Ludlow, 
then  recently  establithed,  and  not  much 
to  be  depended  upon.  The  insecurity  of 
letters  at  this  f'-  -^-'  rise  to  a  variety 
of  secret  corr^  ,  one  of  which, 

very  simple,  is  >  »  '^  hy  Letters  188, 
189.  &c. 

The  earlier  letters  (1625—1633)  are 
addressed  to  her  hasbaod ;  and  the  re- 
mainder (1638—1643),  with  the  exception 
of  a  Letter  to  Sir  Robert  and  two  letters 
written  to  her  friend  Mrs.  Wullcote  of 
WaJleote,  during  her  trouble*  at  Bramp- 
ton, to  her  son  Edward,  commencing  in 
Oct  1638,  during  his  residence  in  Oxford. 

Tbe  letters  are  written  with  tbe  greatest 
fondness  of  maternal  affection,  and  abound 
with  excellent  remarks  and  advice  on  his 
studies,  liealth,  and  conduct  in  the  Uni- 


versity, with  frequent  alinsions  to  aflfairs 
home  and  foreign.  A  deeply  religious  tone 
pervades  tl^e  whole  of  them;  it  is  scarcely 
possible  to  find  a  single  letter  without  the 
evidences  of  practical  piety.f 

It  is  not  ensj  to  select  among  these 
letters.  All  are  full  of  sound  counsel 
— most  diMpIay  great  anxiety  about  his 
health — aomt;  contain  announcementa 
of  the  coming  of  savoury  vinnds — 
others  give  little  touches  of  character 
which  allow  her  to  have  been  an  ob- 
Hvrver  of  human  nature.  This  is  the 
second  letter  to  her  son,  when  he  must 
have  been  no  more  than  between  14 
and  15  years  of  age,  though  a  student 
of  I^Iftgdalen  Hail,  Oxford. 

To  my  dear  son,  Mr.  Edward  Rarley, 
Good  Ned, —  I  was  doubly  gkd  to  re- 
ceive yoor  letter,  both  for  the  assurance 
of  your  coming  well  to  Oxford,  and  that  I 
received  it  by  your  father's  hand,  wbo»  I 
thank  God,  came  well  home  yesterday 
about  four  o'clock.  I  am  glad  you  tJkd 
Oxford ;  it  is  true  it  is  to  be  liked,  and 
happy  are  we  when  we  like  both  places 
and  conditions  that  we  must  be  in.  If  we 
could  be  so  wise,  we  should  find  much 
more  sweetness  to  our  liTti  than  we  do ; 
for  certainly  there  is  some  good  in  all  con- 
ditions (but  that  of  tin),  if  we  had  the  art 
to  distract  the  sweet  and  leave  the  rest. 
Now  I  earnestly  desire  you  may  have  that 
wisdom,  that  from  all  the  flower*  of  learn- 
ing you  may  draw  tbe  honey  and  leave 
the  rest.  I  am  glud  you  find  any  tbit  are 
good  where  you  are.  1  believe  that  there 
are  but  few  noblemen's  sons  in  Oxford ; 
for  now,  for  the  most  part,  they  send  their 
sons  into  Ftance,  when  they  are  very 
young,  there  to  be  bred.  Send  mc  word 
whether  my  brother  Bray  do  send  to  you, 
and  whether  Sir  Robert  Tracy  did  come 
to  see  you,  for  he  told  your  father  he 
would  ;  and  let  me  know  who  shows  you 
any  kindness,  when  you  have  a  fit  oppor- 
tunity. Commend  toy  service  to  Mrs* 
Witkeson,  and  tell  her  1  thank  ber  for  her 
favour  to  yon.  1  may  well  say  yon  are 
my  well-beloved  child ;  therefore  i  cannot 
but  tell  you  1  mij^s  you.  I  thank  God  I 
am  something  better  with  my  cold  than  I 
was ;  your  brother  Robin  has  had  no  fit 
since  the  Monday  before  you  went  away ; 
the  rest  of  your  sisters  and  brother,  I 
thank  God,  are  well.  Remember  me  to 
your  tutor.  If  you  would  have  aoytbingi 
let  me  know  it.     Be  not  forgetful  to  write 


*  And  yet  there  are  iiluatraJtions,  as  in  Letter  tbe  Sixteenth,  where  Lady  Briliiana 
cites  tbe  example  of  Seneca  (spelt  Senecjue)  as  an  instance  of  the  difficulty  of  not  hdog 
proud  of  outward  adommcots.

A  woman  of  centle  birtb  berself* 
how  fall  of  gentlewomaiily  feeling  is 
the  following  paif^agel 

Mr.  Scudatnore,  that  dwellji  hard  by 
llcrerord,  who  married  my  Lord  Scud&- 
tnore^e  ftister,  told  your  futhrr  the  other 
day  at  Hereford,  thul  he  would  see  you  at 
Oxford ;  he  haa  been  abroad  in  Fraucc 
ajid  I  Lilly  :  if  he  do  come  to  you  be 
ciirufid  to  use  him  with  all  respect.  But 
ill  the:  cDtertainirtg  of  any  such  be  not 
pttt  out  of  yourself;  speak  freely,  and 
alwnys  remember,  that  they  are  but  men  ; 
and  for  being  gentleincn,  it  puts  no  dit- 
toncc  betwetiu  you  ;  for  you  have  part  in 
nobleftc^a  of  birth  :  though  some  have 
piftfie  before  you,  yet  you  may  be  iu  their 
coinprtuy.  And  thin  I  say  to  you,  not  to 
uiiike  you  proud  or  cooceited  of  yourself, 
but  that  you  ihould  know  youraclf,  and  lo 
not  to  be  put  out  of  yourself,  when  you 
nrc  in  better  company  than  ordinary :  for 
t  have  seen  many,  when  they  come  in  to 
good  eompany,  lose  thcm§elres*  Surely 
they  have  too  high  esteem  of  man ;  for 
they  can  go  boldly  to  God,  and  lose  them- 
aelfe^  before  men.  Remember,  tbereTore, 
wheii  you  are  witb  them,  that  you  are  but 
with  iho«e  who  are  such  as  yourself;  though 
tome  wiser  aad  more  honourable* 

Thiij  account  of  her  reading,  and 
lier  criticism  on  Luther,  are  at  least 
curious. 

Having  beeu  often  not  well,  and  con* 
fined  to  so  solitary  a  place  as  my  bed,  I 
made  choice  of  an  entertainmeat  for  my* 
!)olf  which  might  be  eaiy  and  of  some 
benefit  to  myself;  iiiwldch  I  made  choice 
to  read  the  Life  of  Luther,  written  by  Mr* 
Calvin,  ]  did  the  more  willingly  read  it 
becaune  he  is  generally  branded  with  am- 
bition, which  rauM^d  him  to  do  what  he 
did,  and  that  the  papists  do  so  generally 
upbraid  UB  that  we  cannot  tell  where  our 
religion   wof   before   Luther ;    und   some 


have  tojced  him  of  an   lotemperate  life. 

ThvAG  reasons  made  me  desire  to  rend  hta 
LAftt  to  see  upon  what  ground  these  opt- 
nions  were  built  \  and  findiug  »uch  satis* 
faction  to  myself,  how  faUeJy  tbese  were 
raised,  I  put  it  into  Eoglijih,  and  here  in- 
closed have  seat  it  you ;  it  ia  not  all  bU 
Life,  for  1  put  no  more  into  Englisb  than 
was  not  in  the  book  of  Martyrs* 

These  thinga  of  note  I  find  in  it,  firaCly, 
what  Luther  acknowledges,  be  was  in 
»tructed  in  the  truth  by  an  old  man,  > 
led  him  to  the  doctrine  of  justtficatioa  1 
faith  in  Christ :  and  Erasmui,  when  hi 
opinion  was  asked  of  Luther,  said  he  * 
in  the  right.  It  is  true  the  truth 
much  obacureil  with  error;  and  then 
pleased  the  Lord  to  raise  up  Luther  as  | 
trumpet  to  proebum  His  truth,  and  ss 
standard <bearer  to  ho!d  out  the  enaigo  i 
His  truth ;  which  did  but  make  those 
appear  of  tbe  Lord's  iide,  who  were 
before.  And  it  is  apparent  to  me  th« 
no  ambitious  ends  moved  Luther  ^  for  f 
all  tbe  course  of  his  lift  I  iioi 

ambition :  though  he  lo^ 
as  far  aa  I  can  observe*  Ui  ^.v . , ,  ^ilo 
to  be  esteemed  more  IcHrnLHl  than  he  wa 
So  thnt  in  Luther  we  sec  our  own  factfisi 
thoy  thtit  stand  for  Uie  old  true  way  th« 
bring  np  new  doctrines,  nnd  it  ii  ambUioo 
uuder  the  veil  of  rcUgiout  Another  ob 
nervation  I  find  in  Luther,  that  all  hll 
fatting  and  strictness,  in  the  way  of  poprrf  ^ 
never  gave  Mm  peace  of  conscience  ;  fof  | 
he  had  great  fears  till  he  hud  thoroughl|:  I 
learned  the  doctrine  of  justificatton  bfj 
Christ  alooe ;  and  so  it  will  bo  with 
all ;  no  peace  shall  we  have  in  our  0^ 
rigbteousiiciti.  And  one  thing  more  I] 
must  tell  you,  that  I  am  not  of  their  mtnaJ 
wbo  think  if  be  had  been  of  a  milder] 
temper  it  had  been  better;  and  so  Era^^l 
mus  says ',  but  I  think  no  other  tpiriiJ 
could  have  served  his  turn.  He  was  t4»| 
cry  aloud,  like  a  trumpet ;  he  was  to  hav«  I 
a  Jonas  spirit.  Thus,  my  dear  Ned.  yoi|  I 
may  see  bow  willingly  I  impart  auything  j 
to  you  iu  which  I  liad  any  good.  I  roajf  j 
truly  say  I  never  enjoy  anything  that  it  1 
good  but  presently  my  thougbta  refleotl 
upon  you  j  but  if  anything  that  is  evil 
befall  me  1  would  wilUugly  bear  it  all  my« 
self,  and  so  wtUingly  would  I  bear  the  ill 
you  should  have,  and  rejoice  that  yoii 
should  enjoy  what  is  good.

we  mo«t|j  take  the  liberty  of  giving 
what  this  true  gentlewoman  mirani  to 
write  rather  than  what  her  pen  occa- 
sionally did  write;  and,  iniieed,  we 
cannot  at  all  sec  why  the  editor  should 
conceive  bad  spelMug  to  be  so  serj 
sacred  a  thing.  It  may  be  satisf«ctory 
in  the  first  jiublic^tion  of  an  important 
document,  on  which  mutters  of  real 
conae(|uence  depend,  to  ^ive  an  exact 
facsimile;  but  when  a  lady  expressing 
herself  clearly  and  wclK  yet,  through 
«Iefective  edufsitioUi  writes  *SSciies-

for  **  FebV'  it  h  difficult  to  undersLind 
why  we  must  have  to  puzzle  over  her 
errors.  These^  however,  are  amnller 
mfttters.  We  are  most  bound  to  note 
her  candour  and  self- watchfulness,  as 
where,  speaking  of  some  good  but  in- 
j  udicious  men,  she  begs  her  son  *^  to  look 
through  the  clouds  of  their  infirmities 
upon  the  sunnhine  of  their  virtues/* 
and  sees  the  dangers  of  the  day  on 
every  side ;  as  at  p,  69 ; —

yoo  have  been  too  apt  to  take  exceptions, 
or  whether  any  have  provoked  you,  and 
examine  yourself  how  you  took  it.  My 
dear  Ned,  you  are  to  me  next  my  owa 
heart;  and  this  it  the  rule  I  take  with 
myselff  and  I  think  it  is  the  best  way  to 
be  acquainted  with  our  own  heariii,  for  we 
know  not  what  i»  in  us  till  occasioas  and

lies  quiet;  and  in  a  due  observation  we 
sh»dt  find  at  last  in  whut  we  are  proud,  in 
whni  feiirfulf  and  what  will  vex  and  eat 
our  hearts  with  care  and  grief.  1  can 
spenk  it  of  myself,  there  are  many  tbinga 
which  I  see  wise  men  and  women  trouble 
themselves  with,  that  I  bless  my  gracioas 
God  for  they  never  touched  my  heart;  but 
I  will  not  clear  myself,  for  there  are  c^ome 
things  that  of  myself  I  cannot  bear  them; 
so  tbiit  if  I  should  have  only  nb>ervrd  my- 
self in  some  thinirs,  should  think  I  were

but  I  know  there  are  blusts  that  trouble 
any  calm  which  is  not  »cttl«;d  upon  that

dear  Ned,  1  will  not  excuse  my  length  of 
lines,  though  it  may  be  you  orny  thiuk  it

l!/dward  Ilarle/t  in  ffpite  of  his 
mother's  anxious  wishes  and  endea-

her  lifetime.  In  fact  bis  jouth  (only

the  death  of  the  Member  for  Hereford

under  the  comniund  of  Sir  William 
Waller,  and  afterwards  bad  n  rcf^iment 
of  foot.  In  the  various  skirmishes  and 
actions  in  which  this  command  engaged 
him^  he  met  with  Hcverul  e.'^catIes 
and  some  severe  wounds,  Meanwhde^

deliver  me  nor  mine  into  their  bunds;  for 
surely  they  would  use  all  cruelty  towards

and  tell  me  that  then  I  tball  be  safe  ;  but 
I  have  no  caute  to  traat  them.  I  thank 
God  wc  arc  all  well. 

How  ftflfectlonately  the  mother's  heart 
cleavea  to  her  %on  h  seen  to  the  last. 

My  dejir  Ned,  —  On  Saturday  I  re- 
ceived your  letter  by  Raphe.  Your  being 
well  is  mine,  and  llierefore  you  may  be- 
lieve I  rejoice  in  it.  That  you  left  me  with 
sorrow  J  when  you  went  last  from  Bromp- 
ton,  I  believe  ;  for  I  think,  with  comfort 
J  think  of  it,  tbftt  you  arc  not  only  a  child, 
but  one  with  cbild-hke  affections  to  me, 
and  I  know  you  have  so  much  understand- 
ing that  you  did  well  weigh  the  condition  I 
waa  in ;  but,  I  believe  it,  your  leaving  of 
me  was  more  sorrow  than  my  condition 
could  be;  but  1  hu{)e  the  Lord  will  in 
mercy  give  you  to  me  again,  for  you  are 
both  a  Joseph  and  a  Benjamin  to  me,  and, 
dear  Ned,  long  to  see  me ;  and  ]  hope 
when  you  have  spent  some  little  time  in 
the  army  you  will  come  to  Brompton. 
Since  you  desired  yonr  brother  to  come  to 
yon,  1  could  not  deny  it,  though  1  waa  loth 
t4>  leave  bim  (give  him  leave  ?).  1  hope 
he  is  oome,  before  this,  safe  to  you  ;  and 
I  pray  God  bless  you  both  together,  and 
that  I  may  again  have  you  return  in  safety 
with  your  dear  father. 

But  this  conttnunl  itrife^  combined 
with  the  anxieties  and  uncertainties  of 
tbflence^  could  not  be  endureil  much 
longer ;  and  this  excellent  woman, 
iilways  of  delicate  health,  aeems  to  have 
sunk  under  a  new  threatening  of  the 
enemy  and  an  attack  of  severe  cold. 
In  this  state  she  wrote  her  last  letter, 
dated  Oct.  9th,  1643,  and  died  a  very 
few  days  afterwards,  leaving  her  hus- 
band with  three  sons  and  four  daugh- 
ters: Edward,  Robert,  and  Thomas; 
Brilliana,  Dorothea,  Margaret,  and 
Elixmbeth.  Doubtless  her  remains  were 
interred  in  the  family  tomb  at  Brampton 
Bryan  church ;  yet,  as  the  building  waa 


then  a  ruin,  and  the  registers  for  the 
time  destroyed,  no  record  of  her  burial 
remains.  Two  gm)d  and  moderate  dt- 
vfriL's,  I'it^rson  and  Stanley  Gower,were 
the  rectors  durinfj  the  whole  career  of 
Lady  Brilliana.  The  church  was  re- 
built by  Sir  Edward  Harley  during  his 
father's  life,  and  was  reopened  for  the 
first  time  on  occnbion  of  the  funeral  <if 
Sir  Robert,  which  took  place  on  the 
10th  Dec.  1G56,  iuH  thirteen  years 
afker  the  death  of  Lady  Brilliana;  the 
funeral  sermon  being  preached  by  the 
Rev.  Thomas  FrovseU,  minister  of 
Ctun,  in  Somersetshire,  an  old  attached 
family  friend  and  greatly  respected 
clergyman.  Whoever  is  curious  in 
these  compositions  will  find  a  long  ex- 
tract from  the  sermon  in  the  present 
volume.  It  partakes  of  thnt  high  en- 
comiastic strain,  with  its  necessary  dis- 
claimer of  merit,  so  usual  in  the  funeral 
addresses  of  the  day.  Those^  on  the 
other  hand,  who  dwell  with  greater 
interest  (ju  the  traces  of  a  tnother*s  in- 
fluence will  have  pleasure  in  following 
out  whatever  cjin  now  be  known  of 
the  son  of  Brilliana  Harley. 

We  can  only  here  briefly  say  that 
he  steered  bis  course  in  a  middle  path, 
with  no  deviation  from  principle,  but 
aa  one  might  well  do  who  had  seen 
much  of  extreme  parties  and  hated 
their  violence.  Never  shrinking  from 
the  odium  of  Presbytenanism,  he  waa 
of  course  no  favourite  at  the  court  of 
Charles  the  Second,  though  willing 
enough  to  make  trial  of  the  Stuart 
again.  Charles  cave  him  the  govern- 
ment of  Dunkirk,  on  receiving  which 
he  was  made  a  knight.  He  married 
twice.  His  first  wife,  to  whom  he  waa 
united  about  a  year  afler  bis  mother  s 
death,  was  the  daughter  of  a  Devon- 
shire baronet;  his  second,  of  a  Glouces- 
tershire squire.  By  the  first  he  had 
four  daughters ;  by  the  second  Robert, 
aflerwarrls  first  Karl  of  Oxford;  Ed- 
ward, Auditor  of  the  Imprest;  Natba* 
niel,  a  merchant  of  Aleppo;  Brian; 
and  Abigail. 

Sir  Edward  Harley  lived  to  the  age 
of  76f  and  died  at  Brampton  Bryan, 
Dec.  8th,  J  700.

eaae  to  St.  Peter'St  or  the  mother 
cburchf  and  its  origin  is  of  more  mo^^lero 
date*  Tlie  earliest  part  ot  it,  ihe 
fbiincel»  is,  it  is  true^  of  kle  Norumn 
work,  but  its  hiind^ome  tower  \t  Eftrly- 
Eii^fliBb,  and  tbe  choir  is  in  the  Deco- 
rated stjle. 

It  h  the  square  tower  of  St.  Peter  s 
church  which  otTers  the  chief  attraction 
to  the  antiquariun  viaitor  to  Burton, 
As  he  approaches  ttie  churchy unl,  he 
will  remark  the  solidity  of  its  struc- 
ture^  the  peculiarity  of  it8  wiiidowi*, 
and  the  singular  style  of  ornamentation 
with  which  it  is  covered  on  tbe  northern 
ttud  southern  sides.  Our  sketch  \a 
taken  from  the  south.  Tbe  masonry 
is  rough,  but  good,  and  of  great  sto- 
lidity. From  the  ground  rises  a  series 
ofsquare-edged  ribs»  or  vertical  string- 
courses, formed  of  long  and  short  stones 
alternately^  and  tj?rminatmg,  a  little 
above  the  level  of  the  first  floor  of  the 
interior,  in  round  arches  From  the 
apex  of  each  of  these  arches  rises  ano- 
ther similar  string-course,  foruiiiig  to- 
gether a  second  series^  which  termi- 
nates in  a  series  of  triangular  heads, 
under  which,  in  the  middle,  is  the 
window  of  the  lirst  Hoor,  formed  in  tlie 
usual  manner  of  Saxon  windows,  with 
two  arches,  supported  Ky  a  thick  ba- 
luster column,  A  horizontal  string- 
course rests  on  the  points  of  the  trian- 
galur  head  I?,  and  upon  this  stands  the 
•econd  dour  window,  which  bus  two 
angular  heads  instead  of  arches,  sup- 
porte<l  also  by  a  baluster  cnlumn.  On 
a  second  horizontal  Btnn*»-cours«e above 
stands  tbe  third  window,  consisting  of 
two  arches,  but  taller  than  the  lower 
windows,  and  supported  by  a  balujtter 
column  of  more  slender  proportions. 
Tbe  lower  appears  to  be  perfect  to  tbe 
summit:  but  it  had  perhaps  once  a 
spire.  Instead  of  the  usual  long-and- 
short  work  at  the  angles  of  the  walls, 
they  lire  formed  by  a  string-course 
exactly  similar  to  those  on  the  face  of 
the  tower,  except  that  it  is  rather 
broader.  The  original  window  on  the 
upper  part  of  the  west  side  of  the  tower 
bsB  been  destroyt^d  to  make  place  for 
one  in  the  Decorate*!  style,  and  that 
below  it  is  concealed  by  the  clock. 

A  doorway  of  very  solid  and  early 
character  between  two  of  the  vertical 
ribs  on  the  south  side,  introduces  us 
to  the  interior  of  the  tower,  where  we 
see  the  bold,  massive  character  of  the 


masonry  to  great  fldvanlage.  Two 
larger  circular  doorways,  of  extremely 
bold  work,  face  each  other  in  the  east 
and  west  walls  of  the  tower.  The  work 
16  remarkably  sharp  and  perfect,  and 
the  atones  look  almost  as  fresh  as  when 
they  came  from  the  mason's  chiseL  A 
wooden  staircase  leads  to  the  first  floor, 
and  this  as  well  as  the  other  floors  are 
easily  accessible  to  the  visitor,  who  can 
make  a  closer  examination  of  the  win- 
dows from  the  inside.  The  annexed 
cut  represents  the  window  on  the  fimt 
6oor  ftfi  seen  from  the  interior.

Altogether  this  tower  is  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  examples  in  the 
kingdom  of  the  style  of  architecture 
wliich  seenis  io  be  correctly  ascribed  to 
our  Anglo- Haxon  forefathers;  the  only 
tower  which  bears  a  very  close  resem- 
blance to  it  in  the  internal  ornamenta- 
tion is  one  in  another  county,  hut 
curiously  enough  in  a  parish  of  the 
same  nanjc,  that  of  the  church  of  FarFs 
iJarton  in  Northauiptonsbire.  Tbe 
tower  is  the  only  part  of  the  original 
church  of  Barton-upon-Humber  that 
remains,  the  church  itnclf  being  a  late 
Perpendicular  building,  without  any 
feature  of  interest. 

At  a  distance  of  two  miles  to  the 
eastward  of  Barton,  we  arrive  at  the 
large  straggling  village  of  Barrow, 
which  is  also  deserving  of  a  visits  as  its 
name  would  lead  us  at  (mce  to  suppo^ 
it  on  the  site  or  in  the  neighbourhood 
of  some  ancient  settlement.  In  fact, 
between  the  village  and  the  river,  in 
the  low  ground  known  as  the  Barrow 
marshes,  there  are  very  extraordinary 
and  extensive  earth-works,  known

The  Internal  State  of  Russia,

II.  The  serfs  belonging  to  the  nobles 
and  to  o(her  freemen,  who  amount  to 
24,000,000. 

III.  The  Cosan^ks,  of  whom  there 
are  nearly  2,000^000. 

Providence  (says  Haxlliaoseo)  hat 
divided  Eossld  into  Tour  great  rtfgiotm, 
which,  \i  fully  peo^tted,  could  not  etiM  la- 
dependetaly  of  one  another.  The  northern 
portion  of  the  empire  n  a  tract  of  foreat 
larger  Chan  Spain ;  next  there  b  a  zone 
of  barren  land,  which  exrenda  from  the 
Ural  to  Smolenako,  comprising  18,000 
B(|uare  miles,  and  contaifiinj^  16|,0O0,000 
inbabitants.  Adjoining  tbU  U  the  famoQB 
region  of  the  "  Bbck  Earth,"  the  fertility 
of  which  i»  imeq nailed  on  the  globe.  Id 
this  Kotie,  twice  the  size  of  France,  corn 
crops  have  been  taken  in  Buc^easton  for  a 
ccotiiry,  without  interruption  and  without 
manure.  The  labourer  merciy  diaturbs 
tbe  surface  of  the  soil,  while  the  straw  and 
dtuig  supply  the  want  of  wood,  and  are 
used  as  fuei  To  the  south  and  soath-eaat 
reach  the  houndlesb  steppes,  which  bave 
been  traversed  by  uomade  tribes  and  their 
flocks  for  tbousiiadf  of  years.  Colonies 
have  been  sown  like  ooAes  in  these  vast 
regions,  which,  if  planted  and  peopled, 
might  become  one  of  the  most  flouriiihifig 
districts  of  Europe,  but  unfortuoately  the 
Russians  are  great  destroyerji  of  timber, 
and  even  fruit* trees  do  not  escape  if  their 
destruction  will  supply  the  want  of  the 
moment.  As  to  planting,  it  is  almost  un* 
heard  of,  for  no  Russian  undertakes  any- 
thing from  which  he  does  not  cipect  an 
immediate  return,  so  that  the  forests  are 
continually  diminishing,  and  fuel  and  sheU 
ter  are  becoming  more  and  more  rare. 

The  soil  of  Russia  beluaged  originally 
to  the  nation  en  matMtt  to  tbe  exclusion 
of  all  pri^ato  property,  but  tbe  right  of 
disposing  of  it  belonged  to  the  Csar.  Nor 
was  it  till  the  commencement  of  the  Htb 
century  that  the  Czars  began  to  transform 
Into  hereditary  propertien  the  grants  for- 
merly made  to  the  nobles  for  life,  or  for  a 
fixed  period.  At  the  death  of  Peter  1., 
one  half  of  the  cultivated  land  bad  by  this 
meams  become  private  property,  and  at 
the  present  moment  the  proportion  is  still 
greater,  in  spite  of  the  enormous  addition 
made  to  the  imperial  domain,  under  Cathe- 
rine ILt  by  the  conAscittion  of  the  lands 
of  the  monasteries  and  of  the  patriarchy  as 
well  OS  the  annexation  of  New  Rossia, 
Courland,  and  tbe  Transcaucasia n  pro- 
vinces^   As  every  peasant  is  either  a  serf 


whose  master  must  maintain  him,  or  a 
member  of  a  commune,  and  entitled  Lo  a 
share  of  the  soil  belonging  to  it,  no  such 
thing  as  paoperism  can  exist,  lo  all  other 
European  countries  there  are  sounds  in 
llie  air  announcing  an  approaching  revo- 
lution, tbe  motto  of  which  is  tbe  abolition 
of  bereJiiary  pn>perty  and  an  equal  divi- 
sion of  land.  Hut  in  Russia  no  such  con- 
vulsiou  is  possible,  for  there  the  Utopia 
of  the  revolutionists  is  already  realised, 
Russia  baa  always  possessed  that  freedom 
in  the  exercise  of  trades  which  Etirope,  by 
the  abolitioQ  of  guilds  and  corporations, 
is  only  now  struggling  to  obtain. 

In  the  national  organisation  of  tbe 
Slaavs,  an  hereditary  nobility  occupied 
but  a  small  space^  and  bolbre  the  time 
of  Peter  the  Great  it  owed  its  power 
and  ifiduence  rather  to  the  favour  of 
tbe  sovereign  than  to  its  own  position 
or  numbers.  Latterly  it  has  been 
eflhced  by  the  Tschin  or  nobility  of 
public  service,  established  by  Peter  I,, 
which  is  attainable  by  all  who  are  not 
serfs,  BO  that  the  humblest  individual 
may,  under  certain  conditions,  acquire 
nobility,  not  only  for  himself  but  for 
his  succesHors. 

The  origin  and  development  of  the 
other  states  of  Europe  were  feudal — 
tbat  of  Russia,  on  tbe  contrary,  was 
patriarclml.  This  distinction  suffices 
to  cxplitin  in  a  great  degree  the  social 
and  political  condition  of  tbat  country. 
There  tbe  family  is  the  nation  in  minia- 
ture^  in  wbicb  the  authority  of  the 
father  is  absolute.  On  his  death,  if  the 
family  determine  to  soparate,  wbicb  is 
always  considered  a  great  misfortune, 
the  eldest  son  transfers  a  fourteenth 
of  the  common  property  to  the  daugb* 
ters,  a  seventh  to  tbe  widow,  and 
divides  tbe  rest  between  himself  and 
hia  brothers,  the  house  being  valued 
M  part  of  bis  own  share.  In  case  the 
family  becomes  too  numerous  to  occupy 
a  single  dwelling,  tbe  several  ofi^i boots 
build  bonaes  on  the  common  property, 
and,  still  preserving  their  obedience  to 
the  head  of  the  family,  continue  to  cul- 
tivate the  land  in  common. 

The  commune  (Mir)  is  the  family 
enlarged,  and  like  it,  is  ruled  by  its 
father  and  chief/  the  Storost,  who  is 
elected  annually,  and  receives  a  salarj* 


•  We  have  no  doubt  that  Bcrzen  is  perfectly  right  In  asserting  that  the  power  of 
the  Staro»t  is  limited.  It  b  otdy  absolute  when  the  whole  community  agree  with  bim. 
He  has  great  power  over  each  individual,  bat  the  whole  commune  can  at  &ay  time 
compel  bim  either  to  resign  his  post,  or  to  yield  to  their  views.

Tkft  IniernnI  State  of  Ru.f«m. 


HtK  election,  mnd  alt  matters  of  unusual 
iiUfHtrt«nce,  tire  decided  iijKin  in  iin 
nsi^einbly  of  the  wliole  commune.  The 
iuliubitHnt!»  of  till?  communes  bavc  pre- 
served in  ti  jrreat  de<^ce  their  inde- 
fjendent  ftdministration  and  iheir  per- 
son jil  freedom.  They  can  enguge  in 
comujorce^  or  in  any  profession  ;  tbey 
ciiti  purchase  land  and  houses  in  any 
part  of  the  em  pi  re,  save  m  Moscow 
Hod  St.  Petersburg;  they  can  send 
their  children  to  the  public  schof»la  and 
univenHities,  so  that  not  only  the  vari- 
ous branches  of  the  public  service,  but 
also  the  honours  of  nobility,  are  witbin 
their  reach. 

Tlie  communes  are,  by  the  new  re- 
guhitions»  about  7000  in  number,  und 
their  condition  is  y\try  various— some 
possess  a  sufjerabundance  of  laml, 
whilst  others  have  not  enou<?h  tf»  sup- 
port their  popuhition,  Tliey  hold  iheir 
Isiud  directly  «>f  the  crown,  to  which 
they  pay  the  ohroky  which  wiih  origi- 
nally a  rent,  but  which  has  become  a 
sort  of  capitation  tax.  It  is  divided 
by  the  cotninune  itself  amongst  its 
memljcrs,  an<J  h  laid  upon  the  portions 
of  land,  not  upon  the  individual,  so 
that  a  rich  man  has  sonictimes  two  lota 
of  land  assigned  i^  hi  in,  in  order  to 
make  him  pay  a  double  share  of  the 
vbrok, 

A  fresh  division  of  the  soil  is  re- 
garded as  a  serious  evil,  and  it  would 
be  of  rare  occurrence  were  it  not 
enforced  by  law,  as  olteti  as  the  census 
for  regulating  the  conscription  and  the 
capitation  lax  is  taken  by  the  govern- 
ment. Since  the  death  af  Peter  L  the 
land  has  usually  remained  about  lift  ecu 
years  in  the  same  hands.  Although 
there  are  evils  attached  to  such  a 
tenure,  they  are  far  less  than  a  similar 
iystem  wouhl  entail  in  any  other  part 
of  Europe.  Indeed  German  colonists, 
who  carried  with  them  their  own  cus- 
toms, have  in  some  instances  demanded 
?ermisiiion  to  adopt  the  Russian  system, 
'be  forests  and  pastures,  as  well  as 
the  rights  of  ^hing  and  the  chose,  are 
maintained  in  common,  or  let  on  lease 
for  the  general  good.  It  is  only  the 
lands  lit  for  cultivation  which  are 
divide*!.  When  the  "  Black  Partition" 
is  to  take  place,  peasants,  chosen  on 
account  of  their  experience,  divide  the 
land  first  of  all  into  tracts  of  equal 
value;  they  next  subdivide  these  into 
/ci/*,  n  remrv^  being  set  aside  to  pro-

vide  against  coti  tin  genet  es.  On  ibe 
day  appointed,  although  the  whole 
populittiou  is  assen»bled,  there  is  nei- 
ther tumult  nor  confu>ion.  The  por- 
tions are  assigned  by  ballot^  and  it 
rarely  happens  that  any  one  is  dissatis* 
tied.  As  every  man  is  entitled  to  aH 
allotment  of  land  as  soon  as  he  marrieSi 
it  may  readily  be  imagined  that  the 
wedding  of  a  son  is  a  cause  of  rcjoicinjj. 
In  the  first  [^luce,  whether  the  bride 
be  rich  or  poor,  ugly  or  beautifuh  she 
at  any  rate  brings  a  strong  p'jir  of 
hands  to  assist  in  the  domestic  duties  | 
and,  in  the  next,  the  fumily  pro|>erty 
receives  an  imiuefliitte  augmentsition. 
Thus  the  inducements  to  marriage  are  | 
so  strong  that  it  is  easier  to  lind  a  rmm 
who  bus  had  three  wives,  than  one  who 
has  never  married.  This  |)reniinui  on 
matrimony  formerly  produced  awtrange

to  obtain  an  additional  portion  of  the 
common  land  jnarried  their  sons  almost 
as  soon  aa  tbey  were  born^  nn<l  it  was 
not  uncommon,  at  Moscow,  to  see  a  ' 
woman  of  ffiur-and-twenty  C4irry»ng 
her  promising  husband,  oi  six  years  ^ 
old,  in  her  arm^n  The  consequence 
was  that  it  became  (he  eu!»tom  tor  the 
father  to  live  with  his  daughter-in-law. 
The  government,  however*  has  endea- 
voured to  put  an  end  to  this  evil,  by 
forbidding  the  marriiige  of  nnilea  under  I 
eighteen,  and  of  femaleH  under  sixteen. 

In  1837  a  great  eflcnt  was  made  to 
ameliorate  the  condition  of  the  crown 
peasants,   and  the  communnl    system  j 
was  in  some  degree  modified.     Up  to  i 
that  time  all  bueniuess  between  a  com- 
mune and  the  government  wa»  tmna* 
acted  by  three  otBcials — a  receiver  of  ] 
taxes,  an  in  selector  of  public  granarussi 
and  an  oflicer  appolntetl  to  receive  the  i 
recruits  ;   but  in  that  jfcar  a  new  do* 
partment  for  the  administration  of  Che 
imperial  domains  was  formed.     It  con- 
sists of  four  boards :    to  the  first  of 
which  belong  the  alFairs  of  the  thirty- 
nine  governments  of  Central  Uussia; 
to  the  second,  those  of  the  eighteen  j 
governments  of  the  Baltic,  White  Hug- 
sian.  Western,  and  Transcaucasian  pni- 
vinces  ;  the  third  is  devoted  to  the  im- 
provement of  agriculture,  and  the  re* 
gistry  of  lands  and  schools;  while  the  ' 
fourth  has  the  charge  of  the  forests.

after  these  have  failed  to  bring  about 
a  settlement  that  it  can  be  carried  be-

might  be  enjoyed,  and  notwithstanding 
the  eflbrts  of  the  government  to  ame-

trille»  and  the  commune,  in  order  to 
regain  the  use  of  land  which  really  be- 
longs to  it,  has  to  pay  an  exorbitant 
rent.  Another  species  of  oppression 
and  extortion  arises  from  the  abuse  of 
their  trust  by  thq,  government  oflicers 
themselves, and  by  the  hpravnik^yihom 
dutj  it  is  to  regulate  tlie  billeting  of 
soldiers,  as  well  as  the  amount  of  la- 
bour and  contributions  in  kind  for 
roads  and  other  purposes.  The  Is^'

fortunes  and  evil  repute,  is  elected  by 
the  landowners  of  the  district ;  and,  to 
repay  them  for  their  votes,  be  throws 
every  burden  he  can  upon  the  peasants 
of  the  crown,  to  the  exemption  of  pri- 
vate property. 

They  also  sufler  from  the  unfair  in- 
cidence of  the  capitation  tax  before 
mentioned,  by  which  rich  and  poor  are 
taxed  alike,  without  regard  to  their 
respective  means.  Its  terrible  conse- 
quences may  be  inferred  from  the 
fact  that,  during  the  ten  years  end- 
ing in  1 836,  arrears  lo  the  amoont  uf 
67,O0O,OCX>  roubles  were  remitted,  while 
an  amount  almost  as  great  remained 
suspended,  like  the  sword  of  Darooeles, 
over  the  heads  of  the  peasants. 

But  the  worst  features  in  their  con- 
dition, and  those  which  the  government 
is  least  likely  to  remedy,  are  the  con- 
scription, and  the  encouragement  given 
to  drunkenness.  The  evils  of  the 
former,  which  have  been  frequently 
described,  will  be  augmented  to  an 
unbearable  degree  should  the  ukase  be 
enforced  which  ordains  that  in  March, 
1854,  a  levy  of  nine  men  out  of  every 
thousand  souls  shidl  take  place  through- 
out Western  Russia.  Thoee  of  the 
latter  are  less  known.  In  the  central 
provinces  the  farmer  of  the  duty  on 
spirits  buys  the  assistance  of  the  local 
authorities,  and  between  them  it  is 
arranged  that  all  business  shall  be  car- 
ried on  at  the  public-bouse,  glass  in 
hand.  In  the  other  provinces,  where 
the  farmer  of  the  duty  has  also  an  ex- 
clusive right  of  sale  in  his  own  district| 
he  compels  each  commune  to  take  a 
certain  quantity  per  heiid,  or  ebe  he 
forces  the  peasants  to  pay  a  certain 
sum  for  permission  to  buy  spirits  else- 
where, threatening,  in  case  of  refusal, 
to  accuse  them  of  a  breach  of  the 
revenue  laws;  and  thejr  know  that 
whether  innocent  or  guilty,  if  once 
accused,  they  are  sure  to  be  condemned*

ai  fatal  to  their  liberty,  although  it 
was  not  till  long  after  that  they  were

II  hm  been  the  fashion  to  look  upon 
serfage  as  something  totally  diHiirent 
from  slavery,  but  the  opinion  has  no 
better  foundation  than  the  proi'eajieil 
liberality  of  the  Eiuperor  Alexander^ 
and  the  eagerness  with  which  he  en- 
deavoured, at  the  Conj^esff  of  Vienna, 
to  further  the  views  of  England  in  re- 
sard  to  the  slave-trade  treaties.  It  is, 
nowever,  with  some  surprine  that  we 
find  it  asserted  by  so  favourabk  an 
authority  ha  Haxthausen,  that  the 
slave -trade  is  allowed  in  Russia  itself 
He  mentions  that,  at  the  fair  of  Kasan, 
the  merchants  of  Bokhai*tt  annually 
make  larf^e  purchases  of  ffirls  for  ex- 
port to  Central  Asia,  and  also,  that^ 
although  Hussia  endeavours  by  all 
miiiiile  itop  the  so^ealled  slave-trade 
amongsit  the  tribes  of  the  Caucasus 
wiUi  whom  she  la  at  war,  idic  sanctions 
it  amou[(«t  those  who  acknowledge  her 
supremacy. 

Herzen  tells  us  that  the  serfs  con- 
sider their  condition  one  of  absolute 
slavery,  and  that  they  nmke  the  only 
protest  in  their  power  against  it  by 
massacring  the  nobles  and  burning 
their  houses.  He  adds  on  the  authority 
of  puldic  documents,  that,  down  to  the 
year  1841,  aiittv  or  seventy  proprietors 
were  murderea  annually.  The  provo- 
cation must  aeeasionally  be  very  great; 
for  instance,  when  it  happens  that  not 
only  more  recent  settlers^  but  even 
freemen,  residing  on  lands  cultivated 
by  their  forefathers,  lintl  themselve^^ 
suddenly  adjudged  to  be  sorfti,  iu  ccm- 
sequence  of  thn  production  of  a  grant 
made  to  some  favourite  in  a  pi-eceding 
reiffii,  of  lands  at  the  time  uusurveyed 
ana  supposed  to  be  uninhabited. 

Tlie  government  appear  to  have 
#MMBiiUed  a  fatal  oversight  live-and- 
fcmty  years  ago,  in  not  limiting  the 
power  of  the  lor<l  over  his  serf,  before 
they  increased  the  duties  on  imports^ 
and  so  gave  a  great  stimulus  to  their 
home  manufactures.  The  necessity  for 
exteniUng  the  protection  of  tlie  law  to 
Uie  aerfii  working  In  factories  becomes 
Bverf  day  more  pressing,  and  the  c«»u- 
dition  of  the  agricultund  serfs  is  also 
growing  worse  and  worse  in  conse- 
quence of  mortgages,  cases  of  joint- 
ownership  of  vdlageS)  and  even  of 
families,  ami,  still  more,  the  transfer  of 
eatates  from  the  old  nobles  to  new  men. 

The  Cossacks,  who  owe  their  im- 
portance not  to  theif  numberif  but  to 


their  character,  may  materially  laHu- 
ence  the  future  fortunes  of  Ilufisia^ 
either  for  good  or  for  evil.  Even  llaxt- 
huusen,   who  sees  every  act  of  the 

{government  in  the  most  favourable 
ight,  declares  that  the  attempt  to  abo- 
lish their  privileges  is  fratight  with 
danger,  and  he  earnestly  racummendi 
the  Czar,  in  spite  of  ajiparciit  success 
amongst  the  Little  Russian  C<issacks  of 
the  Volga  and  the  Ukraine,  to  abstain 
from  interference  with  those  of  the 
Don  and  the  Ura).  He  describes  them 
ns  the  freest  people  in  Europe,  and 
states  that  they  possesa  the  most  com- 
plete internal  liberty.  Neither  Cxar 
nor  noble  can  hold  land  in  their  terri- 
tories, and  far  from  paying  taxes,  they, 
oil  the  contrary,  I'eceive  aflowancei  foi 
their  chiefs,  and  for  the  widows  and 
orphans  of  those  slain  in  battle. 

Every  Cossack  between  the  ages  of 
iUleen  end  fifty^five  is  liable  to  mill* 
tary  service,  and  is  bound  to  provide 
bis  own  arms  and  horse,  and  must 
maintain  himself  whilst  employed  in 
his  own  district,  but,  when  beyond  it, 
be  is  supplied  by  the  government  with 
forage,  ratioua,  and  a  small  amount  of 
pay.  They  formerly  elected  their  Het- 
inan  and  ofhcers,  but  these  are  now 
appointed  by  the  Czar,  and  it  is  not 
usual  to  5nd  a  Coiaattk  entrusted  with 
the  former  poet.  When  the  Hetman 
receives  an  order  to  raise  a  contingent^ 
he  summons  all  those  who  are  fit  for 
service  to  tlie  market-place^  They 
then  ascertain  what  proportion  the 
number  i-equired  bminj  to  those  from 
whom  they  are  to  be  selected,  and  if, 
for  instance,  it  proves  to  be  one  in 
three,  they  separate  into  groups  of 
three.  One  of  these  says,  "I  will  give 
so  mueh  not  t^o  serve;"  the  others  then 
say  what  the^  will  give  to  be  exempt ; 
and  the  biddings  arc  continued  till  one 
of  them  says,  **  I  can  ofier  no  more,  I 
must  go,"  and  he  is  entitled  tn  the 
sums  named  by  the  others.  In  1837, 
tbe  Cossacks  of  the  Ural  having  already 
dispatched  to  the  army  of  the  Caucasus 
two- thirds  of  their  men  liable  to  ser- 
vice, bad  only  3,300,  out  of  about 
12,000,  at  home,  when  owing  to  the 
exigencies  of  the  war,  they  suddenly 
received  an  order  to  furnish  an  addi- 
tional 2,200  men.  In  three  weeks  the 
four  regimenta  of  5.jO  men  each  were 
mounted  and  equ  1  the  1,100

[their  brethren  in  faith,  who  are  scat- 

tert?d    throughout    both    Great   and

I  things,  and  the  government  drcadd  the 

['Tinseen  opposition  of  the  Starovirtz(?, 

whenever  it  is  meditating  any  religious 

innovation  or  internal  change. 

Great  as  have  l>een  the  services  of 
the  Cosasacks  from  the  time  of  Jermak 
down  to  the  present  day^  they  are  now 
more  necessary  to  Russia  than  ever. 
I  They  are  her  only  eflicient  warriors  in 
the  Cau(;asiis ;  they  albird  a  cheap  and 
faithful  guard  for  her  advanced  posts 
ftnd  extended  frontier   in  Asia;  and 


they  furnish  an  internal  police  which 
could  scarcely  be  replaced,  as  her 
other  Christian  populations  have  a 
strong  antipathy  to  mount  a  home.  But 
the  destruction  of  their  independence 
has  been  detennined  on  ;  the  Govern- 
ment, however,  in  carrying  out  its 
measures  has  met  with  a  decided  check, 
and  found  it  nec^e8»ary  to  wait  for  a 
more  favourable  opportunity.  About 
ten  years  ago,  an  ukase  was  issued 
abolishing  the  privileges  of  the  Don 
G(»iisacks  and  assimilating  their  terri- 
tories to  the  rest  of  the  empire.  A 
rumour,  however,  is  said  to  have 
reached  the  Government  that,  in  spite 
of  the  absence  of  the  Hetman  with  a 
large  contingent  purposely  withdrawn 
to  a  distant  frontier,  the  deputy-bet- 
man,  with  50,000  horsemen,  was  pre- 
paring to  ride  to  Moscow  for  the  purpose 
of  laying  a  humble  remonstrance  at 
the  feet  of  the  Czar ;  the  consefiuence 
was  that  the  ukase  was  explained  away 
as  a  mistake,  and  the  English  [lapcrs 
publishetl  the  uknsc  and  its  witbrjrawal 
within  a  few  weeks  of  one  another. 

Gigantic  as  appears  the  aggressive 
furce  which  Hussia  possesses  against 
Europe  it  is  out  of  her  i>ower  to  carry 
on  war  on  a  grand  scale  in  the  East, 
owing  to  the  immense  difficulties  of 
transporting  men  and  stores  across  the 
almost  desert  steprH!S.  Nor  is  this  im- 
pediment diminishing.  On  the  con- 
trary, the  depopulation  of  her  southern 
provinces  is  said  to  be  rapidly  increas- 
ing. Although  her  military  colonies, 
formed  with  but  little  regard  to 
humanity,*  have  in  some  mstances 
succeeded,  it  has  been  at  a  fabulous 
cost ;  and  their  numbers  do  not  make 
up  for  a  twentieth  part  of  the  thousands 
who  have  token  refuge  in  Turkey. 
The  Tatars  of  southern  Russia  are  by 
this  means  reduced  to  300,000;  and 
the  descend nnts  of  the  Zaporavian  Cos- 
sacks, who  lied  across  the  Danube  when 
Potemkin  transported  their  brethren 
to  the  Kuban,  arc  at  this  moment  form- 
ing part  of  the  army  under  Omar 
Pasha.     But  the  most  wonderful  event

of  this  kind  which  occurs  in  Russian 
history  ha|)jx»ned  in  1771,  when  a 
bocly  of  Calmueks,  amounting,  with 
their  women  and  chililren^  to  nearly 
half  Q  million,  deii  from  the  banks  q^ 
the  Volga  in  the  depth  of  winter,  pre- 
ferring to  fa<!e  the  most  appalling 
dangers,  rather  than  re  ami  n  within  the 
boundariea  of  Hussia*  Animated  by 
defpair,  they  continued  their  tlit^bt 
during  ten  months  of  intolerable  hard- 
ship^ fighting  almost  con  tin  uaUy  against 
the  armies  and  tribes  which  Russia 
morcd  against  them.  At  len^h,  after 
they  were  reduced  to  one-huti  of  their 
original  numbers,  the  llight  and  pur- 
suit were  brouMu  to  a  termination  by 
their  crossing  the  Chinese  frontier  near 
the  Lake  of  Baikal,  where  they  were 
received  bj  the  authorities  of  the  Ce- 
lestial Empire  with  instant  proteetion 
and  generous  hospitality. 
B  Levchine  *  gives  a  remarkable  in- 
^  stance  of  the  means  to  which  Russia 
doea  not  scruple  to  resort,  in  order  to 
keep  down  one  population  by  the  aid  of 

(another,  perhaps  equally  discontented. 
In  1755  the  Baskirs,  who  bad  made  an 
unauccesaful  revolt  eleven  yeara  before, 
in  the  course  of  which  nearly  all  their 
viihigea   had   been    burnt,   and   forty 
thouiand  of  their  men  destroyed,  found 
their  condition  so  intolerable,  that  they 
again  took  up  arms.    The  moment  was 
one  of  imminent  danger  to  Russia^  and 
a  single  reverse  would  have  entailed 
the  loss  of  every  post  along  the  frontier, 
ex^oept   perhaps   Orenburg  itself;  for 
the  Tatars  of  Kazan  and  the  hordes  of 
^ft     the  Kirgliiz  were  on  the  point  of  join - 
^^    ing  the  Baskirs  in  striking  a  blow  tor 
^K    UlbertY  and  the  Prophet*     NeplouieJf, 
^m   %&  Governor  of  Orenburg,  instantly 
^V    summoned    reinforcemeuts    from   the 
^f     Cossacks  of  the  Don  and  the  Cal  mucks 
of  the  Ural.     He  also  anned  several 
neighbouring  tribes,  and  at  the  same 
time  took  another  measure^  which  the 
Russian  historian  de^ribes  as  vrueU  ff*ti 

■     indispenMabte.     He  says : 
N^louicff  found  it  Qccesssry,  for  the 
safety  of  the  frontier,  to  pbuje  an  irrecon- 
cileable  feud  between  the  Baakirs  and  the 
Kirghiz;  and,   although   he    would  have 


485 


preferred  a  more  humane  method,  he  felt 
hi  mtelf  compelled  to  yield  to  f^ircum stances, 
and  to  proclaim  to  the  khan  and  sulUns 
of  the  Kirghiz,  that,  as  a  reward  for  tfadr 
fldelit  J  and  devotion  to  Russia,  the  Em- 
press had  conferred  upon  them  the  wifes 
and  daughters  of  the  Baskirs,  who  had 
been  sent  aoDongst  them  for  lecuKty.  The 
Kirghiz  eagerly  Mixed  upon  their  prey, 
and  the  Baikirs,  maddened  with  rage  and 
jealousy,  thought  only  of  ven^ance.  They 
demanded  permission  from  N^pIouieflF  to 
cross  the  Ural  Ho  refused  to  grant  it; 
but,  at  the  same  time*  sent  secret  orders 
to  the  commandaotJi  of  the  vaHoua  forts, 
to  take  no  notice  of  any  bodies  of  men, 
who  should  attempt  to  cross  the  river. 
Taking  advantage  of  the  pretended  negli- 
geooe  of  the  guards  the  Baskirs  crossed 
over  into  the  steppes,  and  began  to 
massacre  the  men  and  to  carry  off  the 
women  of  the  Kirghiz,  The  htter  flew  to 
arms,  in  self-defence,  aod  the  work  of 
mutual  slaughter  was  carried  on,  until 
N^plotiieff  judged  that  both  tribe*  were 
sufflcientlf  exhausted.  He  then  took  mea- 
sures which  put  a  stop  to  the  effosioa  of 
blood r  but  the  hatred  betweeu  the  two 
races  continues  undiminished  to  this  day. 
From  such  incidents  as  these,  it  may 
be  inferred  that  Russia  cnoiaiiis  vast 
masses  of  unwilling  subjects,  and  is  hy 
no  means  exempt  from  the  dangers  of 
internal  convulsion,  should  she  ever 
be  BO  pressed  abroad  aa  to  offer  a 
chance  of  successful  insurrection,  not 
only  to  the  Poles  and  the  Cossacks,  but 
also  to  the  Baskirs  and  other  Tatar 
tribes.  Crolovin  t  makes  a  powerful 
appeal  to  our  fear»,  when  he  declares 
that  "Tartary,  that  nursery  of  in- 
vaders, which  extends  from  the  Caapian 
Sea  to  China,  and  which  overflows  with 
inhabitants,  might,  if  aroused  byEussia 
in  a  year  of  short  pasturage,  throw 
masses  of  warriors  upon  India."  But 
there  is  no  Hindoo- Koosb  between  the 
step|ies  of  Tartary  and  the  plains  of 
Russia,! — and  should  an  Aflghan  or 
Tatar  cont^^ueror  seiz*  upon  a  moment 
when  Russia  was  pre -occupied  by  war, 
or  distracted  by  rebellion,  he  would 
find  but  little  to  prevent  his  repeating 
the  invasiou  of  the  Mongols,  and  en- 
riching the  hordes  of  Asia  with  the 
spoils  of  Troitza  and  the  Kremlin,

1854,]      A  Sonnet  trilnttar^  ta  the  Pott  Bernard  Barton,  487 


thn*  shewing  that  they  were  of  earlier 
date. 

Of  mediffival  and  other  relicA  aeireral  of 
interest  haf©  beeu  discoTered*  Id  the 
lower  part  of  the  Westgate  Street^  or 
rather  in  a  merchant's  yard  adJoiniDg, 
several  encaustic  tiles  of  great  beaitty  were 
diacovered  about  rLx  feet  beneath  the  lur* 
face.  They  were  of  the  lifl€€uth  century  f 
and  most  probably  belonged  to  some  large 
hall  or  private  hou^^er  no  ecclesiastical 
building  haviniir  occupied  the  site. 

The  foundations  of  the  North  Gate  gave 
considerable  trouble  to  the  workmen,  for 
they  were  like  solid  rock,  and  were  very 
deep  and  eitensive.  At  the  site  of  the 
lower  North  Gate  the  walls  were  found 
entire,  and  the  whole  line  of  excavation, 
in  a  transverse  direotiouiwaa  thickly  sown 
with  sculls  and  human  bones  ;  and  this  \% 
not  to  be  wondered  at  when  we  consider 
the  hot  akirmisbini^  which  took  place  on 
thfll  aide  of  the  city  during  the  siege. 

There  Is  one  important  fact  I  wish  to 
QOtioe  before  I  conclude »  and  that  is  Ibe 
dlfferenee  between  the  ancient  and  present 
level  of  the  city  of  Gloncei^.  Roman 
rem  sins  are  found  geuerally  ten^  eomc- 
tunea  fifteen ,  feet  below  the  modern  sur- 


face. The  floor  of  St.  Nicholas  church  is 
at  least  six  feet ;  and  an  encaustic  floor 
lately  found  was  in  a  still  lower  position 
with  regard  to  the  riyer.  The  stones  and 
ring,  which  evidently  formed  part  of  the 
Roman  quay,  were  said  to  be  twenty  feet 
below  the  surface,  but  this  1  think  exag- 
gerated. Nevertheless,  they  were  tar  below 
the  present  level  of  the  river  at  high  water. 
Now  i  am  inclined  to  think  that  all  these 
fitieta  show  that  the  bed  of  the  river  hat 
gradoally  been  filling  up  to  an  extent  we  con 
hardly  calculate,  and  that  the  high  floods^ 
which  for  the  last  handred  years  have 
annually  snbruerged  the  country  adjoining 
the  river,  are  comparatively  of  modern 
occurrence*  The  fact  of  the  Abbey  Church 
having  been  rebuilt  on  a  site  further  from 
the  river  than  that  on  which  it  originally 
stood  shews  that,  in  the  time  of  the 
8a&onS|  annoyance  began  to  be  expe- 
rienced ;  indeed*  had  it  been  so  beforet 
the  Hooni  of  moat  of  tba  churches  would 
yearly  have  8een  submcrrged  under  eight 
or  nine  feet  of  water.  But  these  facta  I 
leave  for  geologists  to  decide  upon,  hoping 
next  month  to  have  more  to  communicate 
on  the  subject  of  Gloucester  antiquities. 


A  »ONNBT,  TRIBUTARY  TO  THE  POET  BERNARD  BARTON. 

With  thy  sweet  verse  af  with  thyself  I  walk, 

B^iBTos,  and  list  thy  hush  for  whispering, 

Soft  as  the  waving  of  ao  Angers  wing, 

To  aid  the  quiet  of  thy  bosom -talk. 

With  folded  arm  thou  art  prepared  to  dwell 

Within  thyself  retired  ;  whilst  thou  dost  woo 

That  eabiocs3  of  the  breast,  which  may  subdue 

The  tumults  throbbing  in  its  inmost  cell. 

My  thought*  led  captive  at  the  poet*B  will, 

Follows  accordant,  and  the  soothed  soul 

Owns  the  overpowering  of  thy  control, 

While  the  whdmVl  heart  the  foster'd  raptures  fill. 

The  lustrous  beaming  of  thy  heavenward  eye 

Telb  how  thy  spirit  bides  lis  ecstacy*

or  scarcely  to  allude  to  lome  harth  ex- 
pre»iiona  in  hU  defence,  againit  what  he 
terms,  *^  an  unprovoked  attack/^  Had  be 
been  strictly  an  unknown  correspondent^ 
I  mightp  perhaps,  have  been  betrayed 
into  the  hin|;uage  of  recrimination  \  hut, 
when  I  entertain  no  donbt  that  this  candid 
and  important,  oonfeafiton  Uua  proceeded 
from  one  of  no  inferior  authority  than 
the  Dean  of  Christchurch  and  the  Regiiu» 
Profetsor  of  Greek  at  Oxford,  and  who 
if,  unqucitionably,  the  most  learned  Greek 
scholar  in  the  kingdom,  I  feel  too  much 
bononred  by  hh  notice,  and  too  much  gra- 
tiiod  by  hit  admission,  to  indulge  in  one 
angry  expreision. 

As  it  would  not  b^  respcctfiili  however, 
to  pass  by  in  sitence  the  anituadversioni 
of  your  distinguished  correspondent,  per- 
mit me  briefly,  Mr,  Urban,  and  I  hope 
dispaisionately,  to  advert  to  his  tending 
propositions.  **  It  is  clear,^^  he  say^,  "  to 
any  man  of  common  sense,  that  the  mere 
position  of  the  apocryphal  books  docs  not 
in  the  slightest  degree  affect  their  anthen- 
ttcity,  or  endow  them  with  any  authority 
beyond  what  they  legitimstely  possess." 
To  a  few  recluse  critics  this  assertion  may 
be  theoretically  troe  ;  but  it  does  not  hold 
good  in  regard  to  the  great  majority  of 
mankind.  Ever  since  the  Reformation, 
tbo  position  of  these  books  has  been  a 
iubject  of  dispute,  and  a  line  of  demarca-i* 
tion  between  Protestants  and  Papists,  It 
ia  not  for  the  University  of  Oxford  to  iiigalt 
the  feelings  of  our  people,  or  to  defy  the 
decisions  of  our  Church.  Greek  MSS. 
cannot  be  pleaded  against  English  Articles. 
The  SiiEth  Article  has  once»  and  for  ever, 
prescribed  to  all  members  of  the  Anglican 
Church  the  exact  order  in  which  our  Bibles 
ire  to  be  arranged.

toooer  hftd  Lotber'a  German  Tenaon  ap-

tion  of  the  booka  became  tbe  mark  aa4  '

the  honour  of  being  amongit  hat  oi

Though  both  these  editors  followed  ()>•  j 
teit  of  the  Aldine  in  151t4,  they  reversed] 
the  order  of  that  edition,  and  aubstitoteij 
the  order  of  Luther.  MogmoHimi  liordbBi

The  learned  Professor  abo  defends  dm] 
plan   of  this   Oxford  impression  of 
LXX.  from  the  sudden  demand  of  a  cheafi  | 
and  portable  edition.     But  as  more  than  \ 
thirty  years  had  passed  away  since  the 
last  edition  lu  1^17,  we  must  recur  to  his 
own  confeasioo,  it  i§  to  to  tttmomtod  to 
iittU  had  been  done.  Nor  can  the  pIsD  thus 
hastily  adopted  be  admitted  as  tbe  best, 
''under  all   circumstances,"     Surely ,  it 
would  have  been  far  better  to  have  adopted 
Grabe'i  printed  text  (which  may  be  con- 
sidered the  Alexandrine,  hating  been  re- 
printed  both    at    Moscow   and   Atheos)| 
than  to  adhere  to  the  Alexandrian  MS. 
rcprebeuted  in  his  larger  type,  or  as  traoft*! 
cribed  in  tbe  fac- simile  of  Mn  Baber.     H] 
is  not  the  object  of  a  cheap  and  portable' 
edition,  to  exhibit  the  contents  of  a  aingte 
MS.  but  to  furnish  the  reader  with  a  cor- 
rect and  useful  text — to  rectify  disloca- 
tions, to  fill  up  lactmitf  and  to  amend  in- 
correct stichometry.     Now,  although  this 
would  not  provide  "  a  perfect  work,'*  and

Pearson  ;  abore  all,  by  collatini^  thcCom- 
plutensian  text,  as  printed  In  the  Antvverp 
Polyglott.  Such  an  edition  ^onldbe^reeted 
as  the  first  instalment  due  to  the  LXX. 
For  **  the  perfect  work  "  we  muat  be  con- 
tent to  wait  till  ^*  the  deaJmen'i  bones," 
collected  by  Mes;srfi,  Holmes  and  Parsons, 
have  been  carefully  sorted  and  examined. 
Hie  iaifftr  t     Hoc  oputt ! 

K  With  respect  to  my  objection  in 
retaininsf  the  spurious  curse,  Deut.  xxvfi. 
23,  as  though  it  really  existed  in  the  Va- 
tican MS,  I  cannot,  with  ull  deference, 
perceive  the  force  of  the  learned  Professor's 
defence.  It  is  not  easy  to  understand 
what  is  meant  by  The  Vatican  receutkm. 
So  far  as  we  know  anything  about  the 
editioh  of  1^86,  we  must  confide  on  the 
PtefacQ  prefixed  to  that  edition.  It  states^ 
that  it  was  chiefly  based  on  a  codex  sup- 
posed to  be  more  than  1200  years  old,  and 
consequently  before  the  time  of  Jerome. 
Now  it  is  irajiossible  to  believe  that  such  a 
codex  contained  this  spurious  curse,  which 
is  not  alluded  to  by  Jerome,  or  any  of  the 
early  Fathers.  It  must,  therefore,  have 
been  either  introduced  from  some  of  the 
other  MSS,  which  they  consulted,  or  be 
an  iaterpohition  in  the  Vatican  codex.  With 


such  convictions,  I  stated  that  it  ought 
either  to  have  been  omifted,  or  Hiigmatiged 
with  an  obelus.  I  cannot  admit  that  the 
adhereJice  to  a  bad  plan,  though  **  stated 
on  the  title-page,*'  is  any  justification  of 
allowing  a  spurious  curse  to  remain  unno* 
tieed  in  the  text. 

It  is  worthy  of  re  mark ,  that  no  allusion 
was  roade  to  this  passaf^c  in  the  evidence 
given  before  the  Committee  of  the  House 
of  Commons,  on  the  question  respecting 
the  marriage  of  a  deceased  wife'H  sister. 
Though  Cardinal  AViseman  and  Doctor 
Pust'y  entered  into  the  most  elaborate  de* 
tails  and  references  to  aricient  councilSi 
yet  neither  of  them  made  any  allusion  to 
thi.H  spurious  curse  in  the  Roman  edition 
of  the  LXX  !  In  vain  have  I  solicited  the 
Cardinal  to  examine  the  codex  at  the  Va< 
tican,  and  to  report  on  this  carious  ques- 
tion—the oracle  is  dumb.  There  is  every 
rea^son  to  conclude  it  is  a  base  interpola* 
tion,  introduced  to  sanction  the  traffic  of 
Papal  dispensations,  and  consequently  it 
ought  either  to  be  obliterated,  bracketed, 
or  marked  with  an  obelus. — There  cannot 
he  '*much  doubt"  attaching  to  such  a 
passage. 

2.  The  same  remark  applies  to  "  the 
interpolation  in  Psalm  xiii.  3/^  This 
*'  interpolation  '*  is  taken  verhaiim  from 
Rom.  iii.  13 — 18.  It  is  evidently  nothing 
more  than  a  ^lot*  of  some  well-meanings 
but  officious  cop]ri$t.  It  isliard  to  helieTO 
that  it  exists  in  this  very  ancle ut  codex  ; 
but,  whether  there  or  not,  as  a  ^loti  it 
ought  to  ha^e  bsen  inclosed  in  bracketi. 
Strange  to  say,  the  learned  Thomas  Gale 
has  foisted  it  into  the  test  of  his  Alex* 
andrine  edition  of  the  Psalmai  Oxford, 
1678! 

3.  The  next  animadversion  of  Oxooi- 
ensis  relates  to  that  strange  medley  of 
odes  and  prayers  at  p,  1359  of  this  edi* 
tion.  I  objected  to  all  notice  of  such  odes 
and  prayers,  whether  Scriptural  or  Apocry- 
phulj  as  entirely  foreign  to  *'  any  cheap 
and  portable  edition  ;**  but  ray  main  ob- 
jection   was   to    the    profane    ascription » 

I  am  still  of  opinion  that  such  an  idolatrous 
title  should  not  have  been  introdaced,  aa 
Potior  varietat  codicit  Atesamdrini. 

4.  To  the  next  charge  I  at  once  plead 
'*  guilty."^  I  inadvertently  overlooked

from  the  East  a  large  ACcessiOD  to  our 
knowledge/-  A«  a  preliminary  measure, 
a  committee  has  been  appototed  by  the 
Royal  and  some  Other  of  tbe  leading  scien- 
tifie  societies,  consisting  of  Sir  R.  L  Mur- 
chlson,  Professor  E.  Forbes,  Dr.  Hooker^ 
and  others.  They  at  once  entered  into 
eommunvcation  with    Lord    Raghiar  the 


Commander  of  the  Foroei  \  who  is  under* 
stood  to  approve,  to  a  certain  extent,  of 
the  idea;  but  he  teea  difUcuUies,  as  a 
military  man,  in  the  way  of  the  explorers. 
For  the  prcftent^  therefore,  be  thinks  it 
better  that  science  shall  be  left  to  itself, 
and  that  the  arincd  force  shall  alone  occupy 
attention.  When,  however,  the  army  ihaLl 
have  been  some  little  time  in  tbe  field,  and 
ita  destination  shall  be  better  knowoi  the 
Commander  of  the  Forces  bope4  ttiat  he 
will  be  able  to  further  the  vievvs  of  the  sci- 
entific Comtnitiee,  Tbb  time,  we  trust, 
will  soon  arrive. 

It  appears  that  the  Admiralty,  witboat 
sanctioning  any  new  Exepdition  to  search 
for  Sir  John  Franklin,  have  determined 
that  such  orders  shall  be  issued  to  8ir  E. 
Belcher  as  will  empower  him  to  continue 
the  search  for  the  nitsain^  ExpeJition  for 
another  year.  The  names  of  the  officers 
and  crews  of  the  Erebus  and  Terror,  con- 
trary to  the  notice  given  by  the  Admiralty, 
are  still  retained  in  tbe  **  Navy  List,"  and 
will  remain  there  until  the  return  of  the 
scajrcbing  ships.  Thia  change  may  be  in 
some  measure  due  to  Lady  Fronklini  who 
has  addressed  a  long  and  cloc|tient  protegt 
to  the  Admiralty  against  the  removal  of 
her  husband's  name  from  the  Admiralty's 
books  until  all  tfrarcb  for  htm  terminates.

The  literary  and  Mcientilic  tnhiilMlnnts  of 
Liv€rjftjift  have  been  endeiivounng  lately 
to  bring  ubouta  union  rjf  their  four  Irarneil 
aocietiei^f  with  the  view  of  diniini&hinK  the 
working  expeiiMc.i,  und  of  being  able  to 
dovota  more  of  their  funds  to  tlic  legitimate 
purpoftM  of  their  assttcKition.  The  four 
aocielies  publishing  "Transactions/'  are 
tlie  Literary  aud  Philuaiiphieitl,  the  Fuly- 
teclmic,  the  Architectural  and  Arebacu- 
logical»  and  llie  Historic  ;  and  a  committet^ 
of  delegates  was  appointed  from  among 
them  to  report  on  their  ynion.  After  a 
careful  eiamination  of  the  matter  it  woa 


recommended  that  the  amilgamalion  of  tbe 
Historic  with  the  Literary  and  Phtio* 
m)phicAl  Society  i«  both  practical  and  de- 
sirable. The  union  of  the  Polytocbnic  was 
recommended  with  some  heaiiAtiou*  aad 
the  Architectural,  it  was  thought,  should 
remain  independent.  On  the  meeting  of 
the  respective  councils,  the  Literary  and 
PhilosophicaL  Society,  founded  iu  181!^, 
andn  umbering  about  1 10  m embers » adopted 
the  report  by  a  majority  of  more  than  three 
to  one.  The  Hintoric  Society,  founded  in 
lH4irt,  and  numbering  310  mcmbeti.  m«t 
and  adopted  the  report  nnauunously.  Ill 
both  cases  liekgales  were  apfwtikted  again 
to  sketch  out  a  new  code  of  laws,  and  to 
make  such  arrangeinenls  as  may  be  ne- 
cessary to  carry  out  the  details.  l*h« 
Polytechnic  decided  against  amalganiatian* 
U  wjis  founded  in  18;{H,  and  has  about  170 
members^  a  large  proportion  of  whom, 
though  engaged  a&  practical  mcchauics, 
and  taking  a  warm  interest  in  their  own 
subjects,  would  not  cure  for  learning  uf  a 
more  general  kind.  The  two  former  so- 
cieties will  be  united  at  the  close  of  thio 
present  session.  If  some  such  arrange- 
ment could  be  ciTcc(eti  among  the  muUt* 
tuilinous  nimiJieation^  of  our  nietropoUtau 
societies,  it  would  probably  promote  their 
eucrgiea,  aa  well  as  economise  their  re*

of  nine  tons,  and  the  shaft  nearly  as  mueli. 
The  faundation  is  a  solid  square  of  ma* 
sonry,  twenty-five  tons  haTiog  been  ntod 
in  its  construction.  The  detign — a  plain 
shaft  on  three  steps — was  furnished  by 
Mr.  Hard  wick,  tt,A.,  and  one  word  only, 
the  name  of  Cuantrby,  is  graven  in  the

the  Vicar  of  Norton. 

An  iron  statue  of  William  the  Second, 
King  qf  Hottand,  has  been  erected  at  the

AKcieni  Ooihic  Ckurchet :  their  Pro~ 
portimtM  and  Chromafict,  Part  111.  By 
William  Pettit  Griffith,  ArchiUci,  F.S.A. 
ifC,  ito. — Arehiteetural  Boiany.  By  the 
sAme,  4lo.  (with  miuj  Plate*.) — The  moiQ 
object  of  Mr,  Griffith's  profess iodkI  works, 
which  bare  already  Attnined  considerable 
cirealation  and  approval,  is  to  ahow  that 
the  true  principles  of  arch i tec ttiral  design 
are  ba^ed  upon  natural  forms ;  and  that 
the  early  architecta  derived  their  propor- 
tions from  the  same  source.  Amongst 
many  quotations  which  he  makes  in  eup> 
port  of  the  conchiiion  that  certain  fiiicd 
rules  of  proportion  were  maintained  in  the 
middle  ages,  is  a  remarkable  passage  re- 
lative to  Ihe  dome  of  Sienna,  upoo  which 
a  commiasion  of  Krehifeects  in  th<!  year 
1321  reported,  '*  That  the  new  work  ought 
not  to  proceed  any  further,  because,  if 
completed  as  it  bad  been  begun,  it  would 
not  haTC  that  measure  in  length,  breadth, 
and  heightt  whieh  ihe  rultt  for  a  church 
rtquirt,*^  This  decision  obviously  applied 
to  certain  settled  rules,  which,  though  they 
are  not  prescnrcd  in  writings  may  proba- 
bly be  deduced  from  the  examiiiatioQ  and 
itudy  of  eiiAtitig  monQineiits  of  mediae  fal 
art* 

The  Rev,  Mr.  Kerrich,  in  an  elaborat* 
paper  contained  in  the  Idth  volnrtsc  of  the 
Archaiologia,  (1821,)  enlarged  on  the  uj^e 
of  **  the  mysterious  figure  called  the  vesica 
piscia,  in  the  architecture  of  the  Middle 
Ages."  Mr.  Griflith  maiDtains  that  the 
oval  ligure  to  called  ia  but  the  nheit,  whilst 
the  equilateral  triangle  is  the  kemtl  of  the 
architectural  tiut,  and  to  that  figure  must 
we  look  for  all  the  potent  etfects  of  just 
proportions.  It  was  thii  form,  as  he  sug- 
gests, which  dictated  the  general  propor^ 
tions,  both  in  plan  and  elevation,  of  all 
the  finest  churches  of  the  mediaeval  ages. 
At  the  same  time,  the  square  aud  the  pen- 
tagon were  found  very  uaeful  in  certain 
portions  of  the  design.  The  chapter - 
housee  of  Welle,  York,  and  Salisbury 
Cathedrals,  and  of  Westminster  Abbey,  are 
proportioned  by  two  conjoint  »quareji 
forming  an  octagon;  and  those  of  Lincoln, 
Worceater,  and  others,  by  two  conjoint 
pentagons,  forming  a  decagon.  Mr«  Grif- 
fith has  ex  em  [1  Lifted  his  ideaa  upon  the 
grouQd-[>liUiB  of  many  of  the  fineat  and 
most  remarkable  churches  in  this  country. 
Then,  as  regards  the  minor  details,  it  has 
been  juatly  remarked  that  architectural 
forma  were  applied  to  every  kind  of  medi- 
eval ornamentation.  Not  only  the  interior 
or  ftsed  foraitore  of  buildings,  but  also 
thoie  which  wik  caUod  movtrables,  in- 


cluding plate  and  the  garniture  of  the 
feative  board,  and  even  personal  costume, 
partook  of  this  chftracteristic ;  and  it  was 
usually  produced  by  the  multiplication  of 
regular  geometrical  figures,  in  conformity 
to  which  the  artist  modelled  his  pnttems 
of  foliage  and  other  objects  derived  from 
nature. 

The  latter  portion  of  Mr,  Griffith's  last 
publication  (and  which  \&  sold  separately) 
is  devoted  to  this  subject :  and  under  the 
title  of  '*  Architectural  Botany  "  he  sets 
forth,  ^€fmndun%  arfem^  the  geometricai 
distribution  of  foliage^  flowers,  fruit,  ^c. 
which  he  cxemplifieB  in  ti;vcnty  original 
designs  adopted  from  tiie  vegetable  king- 
dom. 


An  Bight  Weeka^  Joumai  in^  Norway ^ 
See.  m  1852.  By  Sir  C,  Anderson,  Bart 
Po§t  8»o,— The  author  of  this  pleasant  and 
interesting  volume  has  twice  visited  Sweden 
and  Norway, first  in  1 929  and  again  in  1852. 
The  present  volume  is  the  substance  of 
his  journal  during  the  latter  tour;  in  the 
course  of  which  hi^t  attention  was  alive  not 
only] to  the  natural  beauties  and  scenery  of 
those  countries,  which  have  been  described 
by  other  hands,  but  more  particularly  to 
the  ecclesiastical  architecture,  of  which  he 
presents  his  readers  with  sundry  "  rough 
outlines,^'  sketched  with  the  anastatic 
pencil.  His  descriptions  of  some  of  the 
old  stone  churches  in  Norway  will  lead 
the  architectural  antiquary  to  com|>are 
thcrn  with  the  most  ancient  structures  of 
that  class  on  the  eastern  side  of  England  t 
of  which  he  remarks,  that  *'  It  is  probable 
that  buildings  attributed  to  the  Saxons, 
on  the  eastern  side  of  England,  are  the 
workt  of  the  Scandinavians  whilst  they 
had  rule,  and  the  citica  of  Tfork  and  Lin- 
coln, and  the  towns  of  Nottingham,  Lei* 
cester,  Stamford,  and  Derby  were  Daniab 
burghs."  (p.  18.) 

One  of  the  most  remarkable  of  these 
churches  is  tlwt  of  Aggershuus  or  Akkars, 
at  Christiania,  said  to  have  been  built  by 
king  Olaf,  the  saint,  and  still  the  cathedral 
church  of  one  of  the  four  dioceses  of  Nor* 
way ;  of  tliis  Sir  Charles  Anderson  gtve« 
various  sketchea  snd  a  ground-plan. 

"  At  Gran  void  are  two  curious  stone 
churches  in  one  churchy  aid  ;  the  smaller 
roofless,  having  been  fired  by  lightning ; 
said  to  have  been  built  by  two  Bisters^ 
which  is  probable,  the  naves  of  both  being 
of  the  aarae  style.  The  large  church,  now 
in  uae,  is  much  tike  Akkars  church,  but 
handsomer ;  the  tower  has  been  carded 
up,  and  form»  a  square  belfry  at  the  inter-

W  c  bad  written  the  preceding  review*  and 
laid  down  Sir  Charles  Anderson's  book, 
before  we  took  up  the  very  agreeable  ami 
exceedingly  complete  volume  now  before 
us :  wbich  is,  in  fact,  a  summary  of  all 
that  previoaa  tourists  have  published  on 
Norway  and  it«  wild  and  magnificent 
scenery.  The  foundation  of  the  hook  is 
the  tour  written  by  Mr.  Price,  and  pub- 
liahed  in  1834  with  twenty 'One  plates, 
which  Mr.  Bohn  now  no  chenpLy  repro- 
duces. Mr.  Price'*  tour,  which,  having 
merely  the  objects  of  ii  landscape-painter, 
wa»  naturally  purtia],  is  supplied  io  its 
defects  by  information  drawn  from  various 
other  author;!.  Of  all  ihv^e  Mr.  Forejter 
gives  a  full  accouut  in  hi^  intipductory 
chapter,  in  whicJb  he  describes  the  suc- 
cessive tours  made  by  English  and  some 
continental  tourist**  The  first  English 
publication  which  gave  any  account  of 
Norwegian  scenery  was  by  Mary  Wooll- 
stonecraft,  afterwards  Mrs.  Godwin,  who 
made  a  shorl  residence  upon  the  cosfit  in 
the  year  1795.  Ne^t  follow  the  well-known 
Travels  of  Dr.  Clarke,  not  published  until 
1819,  ten  years  after  he  was  in  Norway, 
the  only  intervening  publication  being 
some  views  made  by  an  artist  named  Edy, 
some  time  before  1815.  Captain,  after- 
wards  Sir  A.  De  Capell  Brooke,  was  the 
first  English  tourist  that  accomplished  the 
journey  to  the  northern  extremity  of  the 
European  continent  ;  his  Travels  were 
pabliahed  in  1822.     Mr.  Price's  cjicursion

took  place  in  1 82b' ;  and  the  year  after  he 
was  followed  by  Mr.  H.  D.  Inglis,  who 
published  first  under  the  nom  de  voyage 
of  DtTwefit  Conway,  and  afterwards  under 
bis  proper  name.  In  1827  and  182**  the 
Rev.  Robert  Everest  accompliahed  the 
most  eilcnsive  tour  in  Norway  yet  per- 
formed by  any  English  traveller ;  its  re- 
sult* were  publifthi:d  in  1829.  He  was 
followed  in  1830  by  Mr.  C.  B.  Elliot, and 
in  1834  by  Mr.  John  Barrow,  who  both 
also  favoured  the  world  with  the  result  of 
their  observations.  In  1835  Lieut.  W.  H. 
Breton,  R.N.  published  **  Scandinavian 
Sketches:"'  ia  1856 appeared  «  '^Journal  of 
a  Residence  in  Norway,^'  by  Samuel  Lalng, 
esq.  1834  to  1836;  and  in  1840  "Norway 
and  the  Norwegians,"  by  R,G.  Latham,  esq. 
In  1847  Mr.  Forester  and  Lieut,  (now 
Capt.)  Biddulph,  El.  Art.  planned  a  series 
of  excursions  through  unfreijiiented  parts 
of  Norway,  which  they  achieved  during 
the  two  following  years,  and  which  are 
fully  de*cribt?d  in  Mr.  Foreitter's  own 
volume  of  Travels,  Besides  these  works » 
of  which  Mr.  Forester  renders  a  full  ac- 
countf  he  alludes  to  Mr.  Be!ton*s  '*Two 
Summers  in  Norway,*'  in  which  satmon- 
fishing  ia  cleverly  treated,  and  to  a  book 
by  Mr.  Lloyd,  who,  as  for  aa  bear. killing 
goeSt  is  the  Gordon  Camming  of  the  Nor- 
wegian wilds ;  and,  among  the  landscape 
painters,  to  Danby,  West  of  Bristol,  John 
William  Edy,  Colonel  SkiuldAbrand,  Tis- 
count  Adalbert  de  Beaumont,  and,  hut^ 
the  Rev.  Alfred  Smith,  whose  '^  Sketches 
in  Norway"  were  published  in  1847* 
From  such  materials,  reviewed  in  tio  hasty 
spirit,  but  rather  digested  in  the  course  of 
actual  use  and  consumption,  Mr.  Forester 
has  compiled  the  very  ezcellent  manual 
before  us,  which,  while  it  supplies  (in  its 
ttecond  chapter)  practical  suggestions  to 
embryo  travellers,  and  a  descriptive  scries 
of  routes  for  the  whole  country,  can  only 
be  compared  to  some  of  Ihe  best  of  Mur- 
ray's  Continental  Handbooks^,  as  present- 
ing an  epitome  of  every  branch  of  iafor« 
mation  requisite  to  the  attainment  of  the 
proper  advantages  and  plejisures  of  travel, 
the  mitigation  of  its  inconveniences,  and 
the  greatest  economy  of  time  and  personal 
fatigue.

*•  And  William  Crasset  aaith  that  Rich- 
ard de  Preaton  impleaded  the  aforesaid 
Thomoa  Corbet  in  the  county  (court)  for 
unjust  seizure  of  said  cowa  and  heifer, 
and  the  result  was  that  they  were  adjodged 
to  Thomaa  Corbet  as  cbatlelti  of  Kicbiird

that  decision  he  (William),  as  the  king's

f^The  senteoce.)  **  Because  William

now  shows  no  warrant  whereby  he  could 
h*ve  any  authority  to  seize  the  eaid  beaits

decreed  that  Richard  de  Preston  do  reco*

at  two  merks.  And  let  William  Craaaet

&Cm  although  they  were  Richard  Fitz- 
Thomas's,  of  whom  be  was  not  possessed, 
as  of  a  villaiut  it  is  decreed  that  Richard 
recover  the  sheep  and  his  damages,  which 
are  taxed  by  the  jury  at  30».,  against  said 
Thomas  Corbet.  Aud  Thomas  Corbet  is 
in  mtMericordia," 

The  clergy,  in  these  respects,  were  quite 
aa  ofttrbearing  as  the  luity,  aud  they  ma- 
nigod  often  to  ezerclsc  oppres&ioa  with 
eveo  greater  impunity.  A  case  of  this  kind 
occurs  in  the  chapel  of  Aston  Eyre,  as 
laid  open  by  certain  charters  in  the  Salop 
emrtulary  analysed  by  Mr.  Eytoa,  who 
remarks  on  them  : — 

*'  I  have  been  particular  to  give  at  some 
length  the  contents  of  these  successive 
churters,  lest  the  injustice  which  they 
imply  should  escape  identificatton.  A  be- 
nevolent layman  founds  and  <3ndows  a 
church  ;  a  pious  bishop  consecrates  it.  It 
bftppcns  to  be  n  district  where  a  great 
■bwfciaims a presiriptivc parochial  juris- 
-dietioDt  but  by  no  moui  taxes  itself  with 


such  a  cure  of  aooti  ai  wouhl  nsceisitate 
the  foundation  of  more  churches.  In  pro* 
cess  of  time,  the  said  abbey  not  only  ap- 
propriates part  of  the  endowment  of  lite 
di>trict  church,  but  claims  s  right  of  pre* 
sentineut  lo  the  residue.  The  founder's 
heir  remonstrateti  or  contests  the  matter. 
The  diocti^an  bishop  is  the  judge.  He 
awards  the  right  of  advowson  to  the  abbey, 
his  expectation  being  that  he  himself  shall 
nominate  to  the  existing  Vivconcy.  Wicked 
as  was  the  ^cal  element  of  Henry  tho 
Eighth's  Reformation,  truly  it  was,  in  its 
▼ery  wickedness,  but  a  measure  of  retribu- 
tion 1  The  Church  which  had  robbed  and 
cheated  was  in  turn  plundered.'' 

These  eitracts  relate  to  matters  of  more 
general  interest,  and  are  scattered  here 
and  there  through  the  pages  of  Mr* 
Eyton's  book,  which  of  course  is  one,  aa 
to  its  general  design,  of  local  interest,  and 
one  which  we  douht  not  every  gentle- 
man's libmry  in  the  county  will 
Hither  to,  Shropshire  has  really  [ 
DO  county  history  at  all,  but  we  cau  safely 
say,  from  an  examination  of  these  three 
parts,  that,  in  the  limits  which  Mr.  Eytoo 
has  taken,  It  will  now  possess  one  deserv- 
iug  to  rank  with  the  very  t^esl  workt  of 
the  kind. 

Before  we  close  our  notice ,  we  must  sojr 
a  word  on  Mr,  £y ton's  iUustratians.  Ue

what  is  more  especially  designated  the 
'*  archaeology*^  of  the  county.  But  there 
is  one  class  of  monumental  antiquities 
which  belong  rather  more  particularly  to 
hia  subject,  as  he  has  taken  it,  and  those 
are  the  remaiQa  of  Norman  architecture»

I  WAS  neoessary  to  t^ikc  tbe  evidence  of  the

[the English  CommiKaionerr  falling  ill,  Mr. 

f  Cunton,  at  that  time  Secretary  to  Sir  Strat- 
ford Canning,  took  his  place.  Afterwards

Into  the  hiitory  and  peculiarities  of  these 

I  tegiona,  M  r,  Curzon  authoriaea  ui  to  expect 

L  far  morfl  valuable  volume  thati  his  own. 

We  are  glad   to  look   forward  to  this : 

for  Mr.  Curzon^s  book,  though  lively  and 

clever,  ia  rather  disappointing*     The  tone 

,  if  flashy,  and  tbe  iturvey  ^uperAcial.  It  is 
not  matter  of  congratulation  when  a  writer 
gets  tbe  habit  of  dealing  with  great  crimes 
and  abominable  criminals  jestingly.  lm> 
perceptibly,  perhaps,  Mr.  Curzon  baa 
fallen  into  thia,  from  a  reatdeuiie  among 
ipecixufna  of  humanity,  combining  just 
that  amount  of  barharium,  with  some  of 
the  aecidenta  of  civilijtatlon,  wliiuh  tickle 
the  riaiblo  facuUicii  of  a  merry-heiirtcd 
inan.  But  jetting  on  auck  moiLstera  us 
one  heara  of  in  these  pugea  is,  to  say  the 
least,  in  bad  taste* 

Still,  to  be  fair  to  Mr.  CurKoni — ^hia 
miiaion  dates  back  more  thar»  ten  years; 
looking  at  the  pimt  ihrouiirh  the  inUrrveu- 
Ing  period,  lit^  hris  ucijuirtiJ  a  fixed  habit 
pmbabiv  of  vtenin^  t\u'  hiirbaric  phase  of 
man  aa  one  of  I  he  nfce§M»ry  wlagea  of  hiw 
wrsei  and  the  details  \w  kivcm,  in  as  far 
ite/  were  witnessed  by^  or  faithfully 


reported  to  him  on  the  spot,  bew  «a  ia* 
terest  for  us  at  this  time  on  which  he  doM 
well  to  calculate.  We.  however,  like  him 
beat  on  his  own  aabject,  tbe  tnvalnabUi 
treasures  still  exieting  In  Armenia  of  the 
MS.  kind,  and  regret  ezoeediogly  that  ill. 
ne»s  prevented  his  visiting  the  patriarchal 
Monastery  of  Etchmiasin,  where,  he  bc- 
Ueves,  nearly  3,000  MSS.  yet  remain  «Q- 
known,  or  little  known,  *♦  unleas,"  hftNiji, 
*'  within  these  few  years  they  hate  b^ 
examined  by  any  Ruaaian  antiquary.  No 
other  traveller,''  adds  Mr.  Cunon,  "  baa 
been  there  who  was  oom|>etent  to  overlook 
a  dusty  library,  so  at  to  give  any  idea,  not 
of  what  there  is,  but  even  of  what  it  may 
be  likely  to  contain.'* 

What  might  appear  rash  in  this  astertion 
is  explained  by  tbe  remark,  that,  in  order 
to  aetse  on  these  treasures,  or  form  *Q 
accurate  general  notion  of  their  existence, 
requires  a  peculiarly  cultivated  habit  of 
observation;  a  mere  student  of  ancient 
MS^.  would  require  time,  and  would  loar 
by  delay  what  it  ii  absolutely  necesfsry 
to  snatch  almost  on  the  wing.  A  prac- 
tised eye  and  quick  hand  will  sei^e  in  a 
moment  what  is  of  value,  and  this,  remem- 
bering what  we  have  read  of  the  jealouay 
of  the  ignorant  keepers  of  these  treuurea, 
if  an  argument  of  no  little  weight  in  favour 
of  a  quick-sighted  gentleman,  who  will 
ha*e  msde  his  bargain,  while  a  slow  pro* 
feasor  is  sweeping  the  cobwebs  from  these 
dusty  records. 

Any  waVt  we  should  like  to  have  a  few 
more  of  them  exposeil  to  learned  and  lei- 
Burely  examination  here.  Our  Bodleian 
Library  has  about  20  volumes,  the  British 
Muaeuin  not  more,  if  so  mnny  ;  the  Royal 
Library  at  Parts  about  ^0<h  Of  private 
colleotioos  there  are  few.  Mr.  Curson 
himself  has  about  1:2,  of  which  he  describca 
two  as  splendid  specimens.  In  the  Con- 
vent of  St,  Loacaro,  at  V'enice,  there  are 
grent  treasures.  About  1,200  Armenian 
MSS.  arc  not  only  ttored  there,  hut  their 
value  is  appreciated,  and  good  use  madtyf 
them  by  their  possessors.  Among 
are  three  copies  of  the  Ooapela,  and  i 
Ritual  written  in  uncial  letters,  besides  six 
or  seven  richly  iUumioated  copies  of  the 
Scriptures.

bability, but  those  are  not  more  beyond 
fact  and  potsihility  than  are  many  of  the 
details  in  the  Monte  Christo  and  the 
Pauline  of  Dumas.  If  Cervantes  was  oc- 
casionally eztravagAnt*  it  was  doubtless 
becaose  he  chose  to  be  so.  Ttiat  he  could 
be  truthful  and  natural  wc  alt  know  ;  but, 
if  proof  of  the  ftame  were  needed,  it  would 
only  be  necessary  to  point  to  the  brief,  too 
brief,  introdut^tion  to  the  Wanderings.  It 
is  really  a  marre)  in  its  way.  It  is  little  to 
say  of  it  that  it  has  the  picturesque  facility 
of  Sterne  ;  it  is  a  picture  entirely  original 
in  subject  as  in  treatment ;  so  thoroughly 
graphic  that  ef  ery  accessory  in  it  not  ooly 
clearly  presents  itself  to  the  eye  but  clings 
to  the  memory.  Thus,  for  instance,  we 
not  only  admire  the  Kick  author,  the 
student f  and  the  miales,  but  ne  also  admire 
the  care  with  which  honest  Miguel  is  made 
to  look  almost  defiant  against  the  sickness 
that  so  mercilessly  deprives  him  of  tbe 
wine-cup.  So  again  with  the  student,  be 
is  already  more  familiar  to  us  than  the 
Don  Basilio  whom  we  have  seen  bq  many 
scores  of  times  in  11  Barbiere.  And  not

ti  Clasaicol  Lecturer  of  Trinity  College, 
ba^  also  published  an  expurgated  Aris- 
tophanes. Hill  object  in  supervising  the 
republication  of  Mioucius  Felix  is  to  liave 
the  Octavius  used  in  our  scbools  and 
universities  '^  as  a  subatitote  for  some 
Pagan  writer  of  iuferior  claims,^*  and  as 
introduction  to  the  other  Christian 
Apologists.  As  this  edition  is  designed 
for   younger  students,  explanatory  notes 


are  gireo,  and  lUufitnittons  introduced 
from  authors  of  ibe  nearest  age,  "  more 
especially  from  Tertnllian,  whose  apolo* 
gfltic  treatise  is  in  itself  a  commentary 
upon  our  dialogue/'  (p.  viii.)  Not  thwt 
Mr.  Holden  considers  Tertullian  as  the 
later  writer;  on  the  contrary  he  regards 
Minucius  as  the  copyist,  and  the  Apology 
as  **  the  production  of  an  original  mind, 
called  for  by  the  exigency  of  the  times, 
and  stamped  with  a  peculiar  character  of 
its  own.''  (][x.)  tiut  for  cjuestions  con- 
cerning the  literary  history  of  tbe  Octa- 
vius, the  reader  must  consult  the  Intro- 
duction, in  which  they  arc  fully  examined, 
and  the  Dissertation  of  Dalduinus  (Bau- 
douin)  which  is  prefixed  to  the  text.  Be- 
fore the  time  of  Adrian  Junius  this  work 
was  considered  as  the  eighth  hook  of 
Arnobius  Adversns  Geutes,  owing  to  its 
title  being  misunderstood,  and  was  first 
published  as  such  with  Arnobius  at  Rome 
in  1542.  Harles,  who  mentions  this  fact, 
gives  this  character  of  the  dialogue  :  "In 
illo  libetlo  ...  Mioucius  causam  Chris< 
tianorum,  si  eum  cum  ceteris  scriptoribus 
ecclesiasticifi  eomparas,  eleganter  defendit. 
Sed  in  dictione  modiaque  lofjuendi  et

th^i|ue  Sacree  "  (1826),  which  is  founded 
on  Dr.  Harwood's  Notices  of  Editions  of

furnished  Introdactionf,  in  which  he  term* 
the  first  book  "  a  splendid  epilomc  of  the 
political  science  in  the  age  of  Cicero  ;  and 
probably  the  moat  eloquent  plea  in  fivour 
of  mixed  monarchy  to  be  found  in  all  lite-

sor  Spalding  asserts  thnt  it  '*  has  disap- 
pointed the  hopes  of  scholars/'  (Italy,  i.

he  defends  him  from  the  charge  of  mere 
ignorance,  by  arguing,  that  '*  the  task  of 
writing  a  history  of  Rome  would  have  re^

it  will  be  foand  in  Mr.  Hollings'  Life  of

Rome^  Reffai  and  Repubtican  i  aPismily 
Hiftory  of  Home.  By  Jane  Margaret 
Strickland.  Edited  hy  Agnea  Strickland. 
— The  story  of  old  Ilome,  often  a^  it  has 
been  told,  i*  still  a  tempting  theme,  at- 
tractive alike  to  the  narrator  and  the  lis- 
tener, to  the  historian  and  to  the  student. 
It  is  a  story  from  which  men  of  all  minds 
may  draw  a  moral ;  contemplate  it  in  any 
point  of  view,  and  tt  bears  a  peculiar  in* 
struction.  The  philosopher,  the  poet,  the 
politician,  the  moralist,  the  socialist,  and 
tlie  priest,  can,  each  in  his  separate  way, 
draw  a  moral  from  the  varied  legends  of 
that  ancient  state  j  and  yet  all  theise  have 
errod,  insomuch  as  they  have  all  lent  to 
their  personages  too  theatrical  an  aspect» 
and  students  see  great  characters  pass  In 

*  It  baa  been  separately  edited  by  C.  G. 
Schwart2  (Altdorff,  171!));  by  Hummel 
(Nuremburg,  1791);  ami  translated  into 
Italian  by  Faedobti  (Padua,  1732), 


prond  array  before  them ,  scarcely 
bering  that  they  are  something  more  than 
charsclerst  and  that,  if  counterfeit  present, 
raents,  they  arc  presentments  of  stem 
realities.  The  early  scenes,  especially,  of 
Roman  history  have  had  the  colouring  and 
stage  arrangements,  the  machinery,  the 
groupingVt  and  the  '*  startling  effiecta  *'  of 
some  moving  melodrama,  and  we  have  ad- 
mired the  characters,  because  they  vrere 
decked  out  so  bravely.  The  truth  is, 
however,  tfiat  Hnmulns  and  his  followers 
were  greater  knaves  than  Rnric  and  his 
felloW'brigands,  In  whom  the  Rassians 
applaudingly  behold  the  founders  of  th^ 
nation.  The  same  view  attaches  to  later 
times.  We  think  of  the  i«n«ta  as  some 
of  us  used  to  sec  it  in  the  dtji  when  John 
Kemhle  was  Csesar,  Corfnlanof,  or  Cato* 
But  the  august  assembly  of  conscript 
fathers  seldom  sat  down  in  such  dignity 
as  their  representatives  naed  to  do  at 
Covent  Garden  and  Old  Dniry,  They 
were  too  often  more  like  the  French 
"Mountain ''  or  transatlantic  "  Congress*" 
when  its  ruling  spirits  are  absent,  and  the 
younger  legislators,  feeling  themselves  ex 
ephebi9f  indulge  in  flinging  bard  words 
and  bowie  knives  at  each  othtr.  Later 
bistorians  have  done  something  towards 
removing  the  view  of  Rome  on  the  stage, 
and  enabling  us  to  contemplate  it  in  ita 
natural  condition.  In  this  respect  each 
takes  his  separate  way  and  m^od,  and 
MiBS  Jaoe  Strickland  has  chosen  hen. 
She  has  not  entirely  succeeded,  simply  be- 
cause she  has  been  too  bold,  boasting  too 
prematurely  that  in  her  volumes  (the 
present  is  the  first  of  a  series)  **  the 
most  eminent  individuals  in  every  age, 
whether  they  be  heathen  or  Christian,  will 
be  exhibited  jtr«/  qm  ihep  played  4 heir  im* 
portant  pari  in  the  eventful  drama  of  life.*' 
We  might  aay  of  this  what  is  said  of 
Ophelia  in  the  play,  **  Methinks  the  lady 
doth  profess  too  much  ;'*  and  this  is,  in- 
deed, the  case.  But,  notwithstanding  the 
fact  that  Miss  Jane  Strickland  does  not 
achieve  all  r»t  which  she  aims,  or  which 
indeed  she  proteases  to  have  accomplished, 
it  must,  in  all  fairness,  be  acknowledged 
that  she  has  manifested  very  great 
talent,  and  given  a  very  brilliant  pro- 
mise, which  wc  hope  to  see  realised  in 
the  future.  Her  present  volume  com- 
mences with  the  foundation  of  Rome,  and 
closes  with  the  fall  of  the  democracy,  and 
of  the  illuitrious  champion  of  that  un- 
grateful section  of  tlie  people,  C*  Gracchuf. 
The  whole  details  concerning  the  Gracchi 
are,  perhaps,  the  best  written  in  the  vo- 
lume ;  and  the  story  of  the  Sempronian 
houi^e,  from  its  origio  till  its  absorption 
into  the  ranks  of  Cbristianity,  forms  aa 
charming  an  episode  as  we  have  for  a  lon^

The  controverted  passage  in  c  51,  is  ren- 
dered, •*nota  mere  sojoaroer  in  Spain,

lows the  reading  beUum  Miihridaticum^

to  KrauaCf  and  thinking  a  note  unneces- 
uury.  At  c  59,  be  reads  pravenii\  instead 
of  Hensius'  pramiteit  in  a  passage  which 
has  exercised  the  ingenuity  of  editors. 
But  we  are  getting  beyond  our  limits ,  and 
must  only  add,  that  an  index  to  the  three

The  Germafda  of  TaciitL9,  with  Ethnn- 
ioffical  Dixiertatiowt  and  Notet.  By  R.  G. 
Latham  r  M.D,  F.H.S.  BtfO.  pp.  cjrJrviiL 
1 80,  eix^.  ( Walton  and  MabertyJj—TAe 
Workt  qf  Tadtat.  VoL  L  Tht  Annait, 
Pott  SvQ.  pp.  461.  (BoAnV  Ctauical 
Libraty*) — ^The  preservation  of  the  works 
of  TacitoB,  so  far  aa  time  has  spared 
tliem,  is  doubtless  owing  to  tbc  sealouji 
vanity  of  his  imperial  nameaake.  whose 
partiality »  however »  was  fortunate  in  its 
object.  ''  Comeliam  Taciturn  icriptorem 
btttoriic  Augusts,  quod  parentem  luum 
eundem  diceret,  in  omnibus  bibliothecis 
collocari  jussit :  et  ne  Icctorum  incaria 
deperiret,  librum  perannoa  siogutoe  deeies 
acribi  pnblicitus  in  cunctis  arcbiis  joasit, 
et  in  bibltolliecia  ponL-'  (Vopiscos  in 
Tacito,  c.  10,  ex  oonj,  Casauboni.)  Of 
late  years,  while  his  works  have  been  col- 
lectively published  by  Orelli,  Wolther,  and 
Bach,  the  "Germania^^  has  been  Efepa* 
rately  edited  by  Kiessling  (Leipzig,  1832^), 
Wcisbaupt  (Solothurn,  1B14),  and  Mass- 
mann  (Quediinberg,  1847).  Nor  must  we 
overlook  the  edition  of  it  by  Dr.  W.  Smith, 
in  cQDJunction  with  the  '*  Agricola,'^  and 
the  first  book  of  the  Annals.  Niebuhr, 
observing  that  Tacitus  avoids  exuberance 
of  style,  says,  *'  This  peculiar  study  of 
conciaeneas  is  more  prominent  in  the  earlier 
writings,  to  whtch  his  *  Germania''  belongs^ 
thau  in  bis  later  oaes/^  (Lect.  on  Roman 
Hist.  ii.  260.)  Crevier  call*  it  a  ehef- 
d'ttum'e,  and  has  made  it  so  fully  the  boaia 
of  his  chapter  on  German  wart,  that  his 
laugnage,  so  far  as  it  goes,  ia  equivalent  to 
a  translation .+ 

^  Baker  strangely  renders  this  passage 
<*  who  was  promoted  to  that  office  (Censor- 
ship)  from  being  priest  of  Pan.** 

t  We  are  here  repeating  a  remark  of 

GiWT.  Mao.  Vol.  XLL 


Dr.  Latbam*s  elaborate  volume  is  avow- 
edly "  of  a  very  difTerenl  magnitude  from 
that  of  the  usual  commentators,"  hia  ob- 
ject being  to  trace  the  migrations  of  the 
German  tribes,  in  addition  to  his  author's 
notices.  *'  The  work  is  rather  a  com- 
mentary upon  the  geographical  part  of  the 
Gemtania,  than  on  the  Germania  itself ^ — 
the  purely  descriptive  part,  relating  to  the 
customs  of  the  c:trly  Germans,  beiog  pasaed 
over  almost  iicco  ptdeJ^  He  considers 
the  Germanic  area  of  Tacitus  as  extending 
"  from  the  Rhine  to  the  parts  about  the 
amber-country  of  Courland  in  the  north, 
and  as  far  aa  GalliGia  to  the  south/' 
(p.  xlv.)  This  is  more  extensive  than  tbat 
of  Springer,  who  denned  the  work  aa 
treating  *'  de  moribua  victuque  Germaao* 
rum,  qui  Westphaliam  incoluerunt^^  (See 
Harks,  Not.  LaL  p.  175.)  Everything  in 
ethnology,  as  Or,  Latham  remarks,  is  a 
conflict  of  difficulties  (p.  106)  ;  but  the 
Westphalian  hypothesis  receives  some  sup- 
port from  bis  own  annotations.  (See  on 
chap.  33.)  As  an  editorial  labour,  thia 
volume  is  likely  to  have  few  imitators,  and 
fewer  equals.  But,  numerous  and  valuable 
aa  are  the  notes^  too  many  extracts  are 
given  at  full  length  from  writers  of  com- 
mon occurrence,  where  references  would 
have  sufficed.  We  only  regret  that  the 
learned  and  laborious  editor  has  not  given 
us  B  transtation  of  bis  own. 

The  Tolome  of  the  "  Classical  Library,'* 
which  is  mentioned  above,  is  a  revision  of 
the  **  Oxford  translation, "  with  notes, 
which  are  chiefly  bistoricaL  Aa  it  la  not 
a  new  work,  but  a  republication,  its  cha- 
racter is  known.  We  shall  only  observe 
tbat  Niebuhr,  who  spoke  of  Tacitna'  early 
writings  as  Ibe  most  concise,  appears  to 
contradict  himself  when  he  gives  the  same 
character  to  the  Annals,  which  were 
vrritten  after  the  Histories,  so  difficult  is 
it  to  theorise  on  points  like  thlfi.  Harles 
may  be  quoted  in  support  of  the  latter 
opinion  :  for  he  says  that  in  the  AnnalSi 
"  nti  argumcntum  poscebat,  stilus  est  aic- 
cior  presaiorque*"  than  in  the  HistorieSf 
'*  in  quibua  priccipue  ccrnitur  vis  judiciit 
orationis  ubertas  et  sententiarum  copia.*' 
Perhaps  it  would  be  aafest  to  say  that  his 
stylo  is  marked  by  conciseness,  except  in 
the  Histories,  where  it  is  more  difl'use.

ThtWifrkg  of  Oliver  Goldtmith.  Bdifgd 
iy  Peter  Cunningham,  F,S.i4.  8w.  (Tb 
he  eomj^lttfd  m  Four  Volumrv,)  Mur- 
rmf^t  BrUuh  Classiei^ — At  a  time  when 
anch  OTcrweening  efforts  are  made  to  pro- 


dace  books  at  tile  lowest  posaihle  coat,  to 
the  starvation  of  good  workmanship  both 
literary  and  material,  it  is  refrealung  to 
witness  the  commencement  of  a  better 
order  of  things.  Mr,  Murray's  *'  British 
CUssics"  promise  to  be  handsome  but 
aeoaible  and  unpretending  library  booksp 
neither  dear  at  their  present  cost*  nor 
liable  to  deteriorate  materially  in  value 
hereafter.  Such  a  seriea,  we  should  hope, 
if  likely  to  convince  the  public  not  merely 
that  cheapoesa  is  perleotty  oomaliient  with 
a  clear  type  and  good  paper,  but  that 
under  an  opposite  system  it  does  not 
really  deserve  its  name. 

Mr.  Cunningham  has  bestowed  great 
C3tt;  upon  thia  editiun  of  the  Works  of 
Goldtmlth.  It  will  not  only  contain  mora 
of  bis  pieces  than  any  other  ;  but  it  ia  also 
the  first  in  whieh  they  will  appear  exactly 
as  Ibeir  author  left  them.  Goldsmith  waa 
a  careful  corrector  of  iila  writings;  but 
Mr.  Cunningham  tells  u*  that  in  none  of 
the  numerous  editions  of  hi*  Poems  have 
*'  The  Traveller  *'  and  '*  The  Deserted 
Village*'  appeared  as  finally  corrected  by 
their  author,  except  in  the  beautiful  and 
moat  acrurate  volume  edited  by  Mr.  Bolton 
Coruey. 

The  same  remark  applies,  in  a  great 
degreef  to  hi<  prose  writtnga.  They  have 
been  reprinted  from  early  editions^  without 
the  last  tonehei  of  their  nuthor.  Mr 
Cunningham  baa  been  careful,  not  only 
to  give  the  text  of  the  latt  oditions,  but 
to  point  oot  the  more  important  variations 
of  the  earlier  ones.  ^  Some  of  these,  ha 
remarks,  '*  arc  of  importance  to  the  dlia 
nnderatandiog  of  Goldsmith's  career,  and 
all  contain  useful  lesaona  to  the  student 
of  English  prose."  Qoldamith's  biography 
of  Beau  Nash  is  a  remarkable  insymoe  t 
*Mt  is  written  with  oarq,  and  finished 
mote  through  happiness  than  piiina-* 
though  the  paina  were  great,  as  any  one 
may  see  who  will  take  the  trouble  to  com- 
pare, as  I  have  done,  the  two  editions  of 
1762.  But  former  editors  have  oot  trou- 
bled themselves  with  the  second  edition, 
and  consequently  have  missed  whole  pages 
of  new  matter,  with  some  excellent  addi- 
tional stories  and  verbal  correctious.'" 

Throoghoutthc  work,  Mr.  Cunningham 
has  remodelled,  and  adopted,  the  notes  of 
his  predecessors,  without  aaauming  parti- 
cular credit  for  the  considerable  anLOWlt 
of  fresh  illuatratlons  which  he  has  bean 
enabled  to  ooUoet.  Goldsmith's  lettert^ 
which  contain  many  of  his  happiest  touches 
and  itrokea  of  character,  will  be  intro* 
duoed  i  and  in  the  fourth  volume  will  be 
found  a  long  unpubltahed  poem,  whieh 
has  been  communicated  by  Mr.  Bolton 
Corney.  From  Mr.  George  Daniel  the

recordg  only  can  supply,  Mr,  Noake  hsK 
done  good  service  by  his  personal  visita- 
lion  of  the  parishes  of  Worcestershire  ; 
describing  all  6uch  ninttcrs  as  have  ttt«

flinching  from  censnriiig  such  defects  us 
appear  to  call  for  remedy  or  restoration.

Diary  andLtftert  of  Madame  D^Arblay^ 
Auihoret*  of**  Evelina,^"  "  Ceeiliitf'*  8fe. 
Edited  By  her  Nieee.  In  Seven  Volumtf. 
12iN0. — This  Diary  is  very  agreeable  read- 
ing  no  doubt,  and  desierveij  to  be  made 
generally  accejisible ;  but  wc  think  in  the 
preient  edition  the  aim  at  cheapness  in 
carried  too  far.  The  paper  i»  tiimay  and 
trans^parent,  and  unworthy  of  a  library 
book.  Literary  memoirs  like  Miss  Bur- 
ney^s  eirpeeially  reqtiire  marginal  notes^ 
but  these,  also  for  economy's  sake,  arc 
deferred  till  tbe  close  of  the  Tolnme,  and 
are  there  arranged^  after  a  new  fashion , 
in  a  biographical  alphabet.  Wc  cannot 
wholly  approte  of  this.  It  h  bad  enough 
to  try  readers*  eyes  with  railway  novels. 
Soch  a  work  as  the  present,  if  worth  re- 
printing aa  an  EngUah  clastic,  is  worth 
somewhat  better  materials. 


A  Letter  to  ViMcount  PalmerifOHp  S(c. 
By  C.J*  Vaughan,  D,D.—Tht  considera- 
tion of  Dr.  Vanghon's  able  letter  to  Lord 
Pal  mere  ton,  taken  apart  from  the  hiitory 
of  any  parliouUr  case  of  school  trans- 
gression, has  made  us  feel  the  difhculties 
of  the  public  schoolmaster  in  a  way  we 
did  not  anticipate.  No  one  can  have  put 
the  matter  more  clearly  and  fairly  than 
Dr.  Vaugban  \  and,  in  as  far  as  he  baa 
dealt  with  the  question  of  a  monitorial 
power  which  shall  be  confined  only  to 
observing  and  reporting  to  the  matter,  it 
teems  to  nt  quite  unanswerable.  Neither 
it  the  substitution  of  a  body  of  inferior 
ma&ters,  called  ushers,  hy  any  meant  an 
unobjectionable  thing.  The  question,  bow* 
ever,  is  not  settled  yet  ;  the  view  of  anta> 
gonist  diliicnlties  haii  not  decided  us  in 
^vour  of  elder  young  gentlemen  caning 
their  younger  schoolfellows    a»  a  regular 


part  of  school  law;  nor  can  any  words 
about  *'  tbe  great  glory  of  »n  English  public 
school,  its  free  development  of  character, 
itt  social  el ptusivenets,  in  short  its  Uberty ," 
hide  from  our  view  tbe  many  fscts  with 
which  very  impartial  writers  have  made 
at  acquainted  respecting  the  sadly  low 
moral  standard  of  character  afterwards 
developed  at  our  nniveraities  by  those 
brought  up  at  our  public  school**  They 
who  have  read  that  remarkable  book, 
'*  Five  Years  nt  an  Bngliah  University,'* 
by  an  American^  will  know  what  we  mean. 
We  can  hardly  conceive  an  Englishman's 
thoughtful  attention  being  given  to  that 
book,  without  a  corresponding  conviction 
ari^ng  that  we  are  anything  but  sound  in 
our  early  discipline.  Dr.  Vaugban  tries 
to  make  the  beat  of  his  difficulties  (  and, 
although  in  a  recent  instance  he  may  have 
unaccountably  remitted  his  care,  we  are 
very  sure  his  general  spirit  is  lofty  and 
Christian;  bnt  the  serious  and  startling 
dieclofuret  of  the  evils  of  public  schools 
in  Englnnd,  which  neither  Dr.  Arnold 
himself  nor  any  of  hiii  successors  have 
done  much  to  remove,  stilt  stare  us  in  the 
face,  and  forbid  us  to  accept  the  partial 
good  results  of  high  character  and  influence 
in  the  principal  for  a  general  reformation 
in  systems.

it  fs  absord  to  consider  the  present  book 
as  containing  a  candid  or,  in  any  sense  of 
the  words,  a  full,  accurate,  or  fair  inquiry 
into  the  facts  of  his  life  and  treatment 
It  would  augur  badly  of  the  intellectual 
condition  of  the  body  of  Dissenters  for 
whom  tbe  author  writes,  if  such  a  book  as 
this  coal  J  possibly  be  genendly  acceptable 
to  thetn.  With  every  disposition  to  join 
with  the  author  in  mourning  over  the  cruel 
and  untimely  fate  of  a  man  of  such  bright 
promise  as  Penry,  it  is  impossible  to  say 
more  of  bis  book  than  that,  however  well 
meant,  it  is  prejudiced,  weak,  and  uuskilful 
In  the  highest  degree.

poetical  merit  in  this  composition.  The 
subject  appears  to  be  taken  from  Zecba- 
rioh  xir,  3,  4  ;  and,  if  the  autlior  has  not 
fully  succeeded,  it  is  because  success  is 
impossible,  where  the  event  exceeds  all 
human  attempts  at  sublimity.  We  might 
quote  the  first  stanza  of  the  chorus  at  p. 
69  as  narticularly  ()nc.  Sometimes,  how- 
ever^  tne  author  aims  too  high,  where  sim- 
pler expreasions  would  have  sofhced ,  Thus

using  a  heavy  epithet.  In  fact,  the  dra- 
matic  form  of  religious  poetry  has  not 
greatly  prospered  in  modern  handa  (Mil- 
man  is  the  chief  exception) ;  and  the  author 
must  be  content  with  our  saying,  that  we 
have  little  superior  to  himself,  m  a  kind

to  express  the  queitioii  of  the  time  and 
of  all  limCi'^that  chielly  which  it  coDcems

dersltQding  of  the  legitimate  proTitice  of 
symbolism  ;  of  its  progress  with  a  pro^ 
gressivc  time  ;  of  the  changes — at  all 
CTents  the  additions— which  human  life 
requires.  The  eTcrlasting  fitness  of  re- 
pre-sentations  of  the  Christian  history,  the 
simpler  emblems  of  its  facts  and  of  the 
facts  of  human  history^  which  most  fol- 
low it — the  FoDtj  the  DovCi  the  Cross — 
never  can  grow  old  ;  never  should  be 
missed  from  our  sacred  edifices.  What 
we  need  is  some  further  expansion  of  these 
ideas  ;  something  that.  Christian  stUl,  and 
elevating  and  consoling  still,  shall  yet  be 
in  h&rmony  with  English  life  in  this  pre- 
■.est  period — something  that,  being  neither 
mean  nor  vulgar,  yet  shall  connect  the 
Church  and  the  daily  life  more  thou  now ; 
something  not  wholly  of  the  past,  remind- 
ing us  not  only  of  the  great  work  done  for 
us  ages  ago,  but  of  the  ever  present,  con* 
ttnuul  outpouring  of  mercies  and  blessings. 
We  do  not  kaow  bow  to  give  precisely  an 
exemplification  of  our  meaning  ;  but  let 
ftoy  one  try  to  tliink  what  images  he  would 
bring  around  him,  if  wisbicig  to  realise 
and  yet  to  idealifie  whatever  the  Almighty 
lias  given  him  of  light  aoti  help  on  his 
onward  path.  Let  him  try  to  see  all 
things  through  that  light,  and  stirely  some 


warmth  and  richness  will  come  upon  the

Queen  Victoria.  By  W.  H.  G.  Kingston, 
Eiq,  l2mo. — The  nature  of  this  book  is 
fairly  described  in  the  title-page,  except 
that  its  narrative  is  not  a  continuous  one. 
This  will  be  no  drawback  to  the  entertain*

has  its  peculisr  attractions.  Its  materials 
are  compiled  with  evident  care  and  fidelity. 
Thougb  the  reign  of  Victoria  has  hitherto 
been  considered  a  period  of  peace,  it  baa 
not  been  destitute  of  active  incideots  in 
the  naval  service ;  of  which  the  principal 
items  are  furnished  by — the  capture  of 
Aden  in  1839,  the  war  in  Syria,  that  in 
China,  and  that  in  Burmah,  the  various 
actions  incidental  to  the  suppression  of 
piracy  in  Borneo  and  the  Eastern  archi- 
pelago, and  of  the  slave-trade  on  the  coast 
of  Africa,  the  eipeditioa  up  the  Niger, 
that  to  the  Antartic  seas,  and  several  to 
the  polar  regions  of  the  North.  All  these 
topics,  and  several  isolated  instances  of 
heroism  and  self*devotion ,  give  their  varied 
colouring  to  Mr.  Kingston's  "yama;"

March  23.    Edward  Hawkins,  esq.  V.P. 

Mr.  Vaoi  read  a  paper  **  Oa  the  Mo- 
netary System  of  Tibet,  as  illustrated  by 
the  ciisting  Coins  of  that  Country."  The 
paper  was  mainly  due  to  a  report  furnished 
by  Capt.  Henry  Strachey  to  Mr.  Vaux, 
when  purchasing  for  the  British  Museum, 
some  months  since,  a  collection  of  Coins 
of  Tibet  and  the  adjoining  counties^ 
made  by  that  gentleman  during  his  re- 
sidence at  Ltidak.  It  sppein  that  the 
Tibetans  hare  united  the  coinage  of  India 
with  the  bnllion  of  China,  and,  from  the 
extensive  use  of  bad  money,  that  it  has 
come  to  pass,  that  the  Chinese  ingots  of 
silver  arc  at  present  the  only  real  standard 
which  may  be  entirely  relied  on  for  perma- 
nence, uniformity,  and  purity  of  metal. 
These  ingots^  which  have  various  names, 
are  imported  from  Yarkend.  to  which  place 
they  are  brought  from  Khatay  or  Nor- 
thern China.  They  are  made  of  a  sort  of 
boat  shape,  the  cavity  being  partly  MIed 
up  solid  (as  though  poured  in  after  the 
shell  had  been  first  made),  so  that  they  can 
be  piled  up  with  the  bottom  of  one  fitting 
into  the  rim  of  another.  They  are  stamped 
on  the  inside  with  Chinese  characters,  and 
arc  of  nearly  pure  metal.  As  they  are 
liable  to  be  clipped,  the  merchants  gene- 
rally test  them  by  weighing  in  a  small  steel- 
yard. The  government  of  Ladak  has  had 
a  silver  currency  of  its  own  for  the  last  250 
years ;  the  earliest  coins  are  of  nearly  pur©

■Uver,  probably  that  of  iLe  Chinese  ingots, 
and  are  ttamped  with  a  barbarooa  imitatiofi 
of  the  Penian  name  of  Mahmnd  Khan,  who 
filled  in  Tibetastan  abont  a.d.  1667;  other 
namts.  as  that  of  Shah  Jehan  of  Dehli, 
are  soroedmefl  met  with.  Of  late  yean 
the  coinage  has  been  mnch  debased,  chiefly 
by  the  agents  of  Maharajah  GhoUb  Singh, 
in  1847.  The  only  difference  in  the  form 
of  the  coin  was  the  snbstitation  of  the 
name  of  GhoUb  Singh,  with  a  representa- 
tion of  the  Kathar  or  Indian  dagger,  for 
the  former  letters,  the  workmanship  being 
hardly  superior  to  that  of  the  older  money. 
There  is  no  natire  oopper  coinage  in 
Ladak,  and  for  want  of  it  small  payments 
are  ntnally  made  by  handsful  of  meal,  tea, 
&c  Indian  money  is  not,  to  any  great 
eitent,  imported  in  Ladak.  The  Turkish 
races  of  Bokhara  and  Khokend  have  a 
coinage  of  their  own,  but  the  only  part  of 
this  which  reaches  Ladak  is  the  gold  TUioAj 
imported  by  way  of  Yarkend.  These  coins 
bear  the  names  and  titles  of  Khans  of 
Bokhara  and  Khokend,  with  the  date  and 
place  of  mintage,  and  are,  when  well  pra- 
lerved,  very  beantifnl  specimens  of  oriental 
sedallic  art.  Like  all  other  gold,  how- 
ever, in  Lariak,  the  Turkish  coins  are  used 
as  merchandize,  and  not  as  money. 

Mr.  ETans  read  a  paper  on  the  mode 
adopted  by  the  indent  Celtic  population 
of  England,  in  casting  certain  tin  coins, 
which  remain  of  their  times. 

Mr.  ChaffiBra,  in  a  letter  to  J.  B.  Bergne, 
esq.  drew  attention  to  a  Tery  curious  and 
unique  siege- piece  struck  in  Pontefract 
Castle.  Its  size  makes  it  doubtful  whether 
it  was  intended  for  a  twcshilling  or  a 
half-crown  piece.

Two  Events  that  occurred  in  the  Life  of 
King  Canute  the  Dane,'*  communioated 
by  John  Hogg,  esq.  M.A.  The  events 
were  the  battle  which  was  fought  by  King 
Olaf  with  his  Norwegian  subjects,  who  had 
revolted,  to  which  English  historians  have 
hitherto  assigned  an  incorrect  date ;  and 
the  single  combat,  which  is  said  to  have 
taken  place  between  Edmund  Ironside 
and  Canute,  and  which  led  to  the  division 
of  England,  a  few  weeks  subsequently, 
between  those  monarchs.  Mr.  Hogg  de- 
monstrated, from  a  careful  examination  of 
the  different  authorities,  that  the  date  of 
the  6nt  event  had  been  placed  in  a.d.

obtained  in  excsTations  made  in  the  dty  of 
London,  to  be  deposited  with  other  sped- 
mens  already  in  the  possession  of  the  As- 
sociation. Mr.  O'Connor  exhibited  a 
dagger  of  the  dose  of  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury, which,  though  somewhat  resembling 
the  old  hunting-knives  in  form,  was  con- 
sidered to  be  a  culteliumt  employed  aa  a 
guard  in  fighting  with  the  sword.  The 
blade  is  about  a  foot  in  length,  sharp  on 
one  edge;  the  back  broad  at  the  upper 
part,  but  turning  sharp  towards  the  point. 
On  both  sides  are  stam))ed  the  Prussian 
eagle  holding  the  sceptre  and  orb,  and 
the  word  potzoam.  The  horn  hilt  and

We  stated  in  our  last  number  that  a 
treaty  bad  been  si^pied  between  Turkey 
and  the  Western  Powen,  binding  the 
former  to  ameliorate  the  position  of  ita 
Christiaii  subjects.  This  ii  not  the  case, 
and  it  has  since  been  officially  itated  that 
the  Western  Powers  haTe  no  intention  of 
demanding  such  a  derogation  of  the  aoTe* 
reign  dignity  of  the  Porte,  The  only 
treaty  signed  is  that  refernug  to  fch«  con- 
duet  of  the  war. 

A  protocol  waa  signet]  at  VieiiTia  on  the 
fJth  of  April  between  England,  France,

the  aid  to  be  given  to  the  Ottoman  Em- 

£ire.  The  convention  binds  the  High 
ontracting  Powers  lo  uie  all  their  exer- 
tions to  free  the  territory  of  the  Sultan 
from  Ruflsiao  occupation,  and  to  entertain 
separately  no  overt^ris  for  peace.  They 
renounce  any  persooal  advantage  from  tbe 
war »  and  invite  tbe  other  European  Powers 
to  join  tbe  alliance.

Sowers.  Tills  psper  attempt*,  at  conti- 
erable  length,  to  justify  the  course  of 
the  RuBsian  Emperor,  and  to  show  that  the 
war  has  been  forced  on  him  by  the  French 
and  Eoglisb  governments,  nnd  ends  by 
declaring  that  "  tbe  responsibility  of  tbe 
calamities  of  war  belongs  to  the  power 
which  has  declared  it,  not  to  that  which 
is  bound  to  accept  it.'*

head  of  the  religions  body,  baring  refused 
his  consent  to  this  ordinance,  was  deposed. 
Gallipoli,  at  the  entrance  of  the  sea  of 
Marmora,  was  selected  as  the  point  of 
debarkation  of  the  French  and  English 
army.  The  first  detachment  of  the  French 
dirifion  arrired  in  the  beginning  of  April ; 
and  on  the  8th  the  first  portion  of  the 
Britbh  contingent  landed  from  the  Golden 
Fleece  transport.  The  accommodation, 
howerer,  has  been  found  extremely  de- 
ficient at  Gallipoli,  and  some  British  regi- 
ments hare  since  landed  at  ScntarL 

The  Danubian  PHneipalitiee,  —  The

Prince  Paskiewitch,  who  arrired  at  Ba- 
charest  on  the  5th  of  April,  haa  beea 
appointed  Comaiaader-in-chief  of  the 
Rastian  actire  army.  Prince  Gortacbakoff

On  the  26tb  and  29th  of  March  aosae 
fighting  took  place  in  the  neighboorbood 
i4  Kalafiit.  On  the  former  oocasicm  the 
engagement  was  entirely  confined  to 
caraby,  aad  the  adrantage  waa  on  the 
side  of  the  Turks,  who  took  som^  storea 
and  the  military  cheat  at  Poiana,  and 
forced  the  enemy  to  retire  with  the  loaa 
of  120  men.  On  the  30th  at  SkripeCz 
10,000  in&ntry  and  2000  cavalry  were 
engaged  with  a  superior  Rossian  force  and 
succeeded  in  driring  them  back.  Soaae 
further  rencontres  took  place  on  the  3rd 
and  4tb  of  April,  but  without  important 
results. 

Tke  Black  8ea.— On  the  3rd  of  March 
seren  Russian  steamers,  with  transporta, 
left  Sebastopol,  and  proceeded  to  withdraw 
the  garrisons  from  the  numerous  isolated 
forts  on  the  coast  of  Circassia,  established 
for  the  purpose  of  checking  the  contra- 
band traffic  in  slares.  An  addidon  of 
5000  men  was  thus  made  to  the  garrison 
of  Sebastopol.  An  EngK«»b  and  French 
steamer  were  seen  during  the  embarkation, 
but  they  contented  themselres  with  aacer- 
taining  the  nature  of  the  proceedings  of 
the  Russians  and  did  not  attempt  to  attack 
them. 

The  combined  fleets  left  Beicos  Bay  on 
the  24th  March  and  sailed  towards  Varna, 
where  1000  Marinea  were  landed  to  aaaist 
in  the  defence  of  the  place.  The  fleets 
anchored  in  Karama  Bay  on  the  26th. 

A  ministerial  cri»is  hsis  taken  place  in 
Denmark.  The  ministry,  who  are  faronr- 
able  to  Russia,  demanded  the  dismiaaal  of 
two  of  their  number  who  bad  roted  with 
the  Opposition,  and,  on  this  being  refused, 
tendered  their  resignations.  The  Oppo- 
sition, howerer,  has  not  felt  itself  suf- 
ficiently strong  to  replace  them,  and  they 
hare  consequently  resumed  office  and 
gained  their  point.

to  effect  its  purpose^  if  honestly  carried 
out  *t  but  it  is  Co  be  feared  that  Cubnn  dU-

tion has  been  agreed  upon  between  the 
British  government  and  the  U.S.  minister

■  The  principal  event  at  home  during  the 

H  post  month  has  been  the  withdrawal  of 
^m  the  proposed  me  assure  for  the  Reform  of 
B  Parliament,  On  moving  the  adjournment 
for  tbe  Enstcr  rcceas  on  the  1  Hh  of  April, 
Lord  John  Russell  stated  that  the  Ministry 
had  come  to  this  determiination.  **  They 
could  hnrdly  press  the  second  reading  of 
the  Bill  without  being  prepared,  if  neces- 
sary, to  dissolve  Parliament,  and  to  stake 
their  existence  as  a  Ministry  upon  tbe  soc- 

Icess  of  the  measure  ;  bnt  having  thoaght 
it  their  duty  to  bring  down  measagea  to 
both  Mouses  of  Parliamentf  and  to  ask 
supplies  at  the  commencement  of  an  ardu- 
ous and,  it  might  be,  a  protracted  struggle, 
it  was  hardly  compatible  with  their  duty 
to  shrink  from  the  posts  they  occupied, 
and  to  decline  the  responsihUity  which 
belonged  to  the  war." 
WiMlnesday  the  26tb  of  April  was,  by 
her  Majesty's  command,  generally  ob- 
served throughout  the  Kingdom  as  a  day 
of  genernl  humiliation  and  prayer  upon  the 
commencement  of  War.

April  9.  The  church  of  Wtst  Tarring^ 
near  Worthing,  was  re-opened  for  divine 
worship,  after  having  been  closed  since 
the  1 3th  June  last.  With  the  exception  of 
tbe  chancel,  it  has  been  completely  re- 
stored, under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Joseph 
Peacock,  architect,  of  Bloomsbury-aqnaFei 
The  inserted  windows  have  been  removed, 
and  new  ones  of  appropriate  style  have 
been  suhstituted.  Entirely  new  roofs  have 
been  put  to  the  nave  and  aisles,  with  open 
timbers,  and  covered  with  Horsham  atone, 
The  whole  of  the  church  has  been  rcseatod 
with  open  benches,  and  the  aisles  paved 
with  blacV  ond  red  tiles.  Tbe  pulpit  and

with  the  tooth  ornament,  and  have  been 
placed  on  the  north  and  south  sides  of  the 
chancel  arch.  The  font  has  been  restored 
to  its  central  place  near  the  Western  en-

for  tbe  erection  of  a  gallery,  now  removed^ 
and  is  relieved  by  a  carved  screen  beneath 
the  tower  arch.  It  is  of  Caen  stone,  sup- 
ported on  eight  Purbeck  marble  shafts, 
and  is  a  restoration  from  a  portion  of  the 
base  of  the  old  font.  A  memorial  window, 
by  Mr.  Willcment,  has  been  placed  at  the 
east  end  of  the  south  aisle,  embodying  the 
two  great  commandments,  and  illustrated 
by  the  parable  of  "Tbe  Good  Samaritan,"

March  27-  At  Welberk.  Notts,  in  Uti 
8Gtb  yeur»  the  Mo:it  Noble  William  Henry 
Cȴeiidkb  Scott- Bentinck,  fourth  Duke 
of  Porllund  and  Mani«e§s  of  THchfield 
(1716),  fifth  EaH  of  Portland,  Viscount 
Woodstock  and  li&roQ  of  Cirencester 
(16h9)»  a  Privy  ConneiUor,  a  Family 
Truatce  of  tlie  British  Muieutn,  a  Coin- 
missioncr  of  the  MetropaliUti  Roads,  aod 
D,CX. 

His  Gritce  wts  born  in  Loudon  on  llie 
21th  June»  1768.  He  waa  the  eldest  aon 
of  William- He nry-CavenditiU  the  third 
Duke  and  K.G.,  for  many  years  a  Cabinet 
Minister,  and  who  died|  when  a  second 
time  Prvmier,  on  the  30th  Oct.  1809. 
Hia  motber  was  Lady  Dorothy  Carendish, 
only  daughter  of  William  fourth  Duke  of 
Dcfoushire,  K.G.  He  was  educated  at 
Westminster  School,  and  at  Christcburch, 
Oxford,  where  the  honorary  degree  of 
DXL.  wag  conferred  upon  hiuY  in  1793. 
In  Dec.  1790  he  waa  returned  to  the 
House  of  Common*  for  Petcrsfield;  but 
iu  April  1791,  biving  accepted  the 
gtewardaliip  of  the  Chiltern  hundredii, 
he  wa»  elected  for  Buckinghamshire,  the 
represeutatiou  of  which  had  tlicn  become 
Tflcaut  by  the  death  of  Ralph  Earl  V^erney. 
The  Marquess  of  Titchfield  sat  for  the 
county  of  Buckiugham  in  tive  parliamentji 
^at  first  logether  with  the  Ri^ht  Hon. 
Jamea  Greoville  (subiiequeutly  Lord  Glaa- 
tonbury),  aud  afterwards  with  ibc  late 
Duke  of  Buckingham— until  his  accession 
to  the  petirage ;  and  was  so  fortunate  a^ 
to  avoid  any  contested  election. 

In  1795  he  was  appointed  Lord- Lien • 
tenant  of  the  county  of  xMiddlescj,  which 
post  he  continued  to  occupy  until  1842, 
when  he  nLsigned,  and  was  succeeded  by 
tha  Marquess  of  Salisbury. 

On  the  4tL  Aug.  t79S,  be  married  (by 
apeciAl  licence,  at  Mrs.  Scott^ii  in  Picca- 
dilly)  Henrietta,  the  eldest  of  the  three 
daughters  and  co-heirs  of  Major- General 
John  Scott,  of  Balcomie,  co-  Fife,  of 
whom  the  second,  Lucy,  was  married  to 
Francis  nintli  Enrl  of  Moray,  and  JoBn» 
the  youngest,  was  the  wife  of  the  Right 
Hon.  George  Canniug,  and  after  his  death 
was  created  Viscountess  Canning.  Upon 
this  marriage  the  MarqucBS  of  Titch^eld 
assumed  the  name  of  Scott  before  Ben- 
tinck, aud  quartered  the  arras  of  Scott  of 
Balcomie  quarterly  with  hia  former  prin- 
cipal quarters  of  Beutiock  and  Cavendish. 

On  the 31st  March,  1807,  the  Marquesa 
of  Titchfield  was  appointed  a  junior  Lord 


of  the  Treasury,  his  father  theu  taking 
office  as  First  Lor«) ;  but  on  the  lUth 
Sept.  following  be  retired,  and  the  Eight 
Hon.  John  Foster  and  the  Hon.  Richard 
Ryder  succeeded  him,  the  number  of 
Lords  Commiasioners  being  then  in- 
creased from  five  to  six. 

On  the  30th  Oct  1309,  he  succeeded 
to  the  peerage  by  the  death  of  his  father. 

When  Mr.  Canning,  his  brother-iU' 
taWf  became  Prime  Minister,  the  Duke  of 
Portland  was,  in  April  1827,  appointed 
Lord  Privy  Seal,  on  which  occasion  he 
was  sworn  a  Privy  Councillor ;  and  alter 
Mr.  Canning ^§  premature  death,  in  the 
following  August,  the  Duke  of  Portland 
became  Lord  President  of  the  Council. 
This  post  he  retained  only  during  that 
temporary  arraugcmeut  called  the  Gode- 
ricli  administration,  which  lasted  until  the 
following  J anuary.  Altogether,  his  tenure 
of  office  was  brief,  and  the  cpnaequence  of 
his  family  connectiooe;  rather  than  any 
personal  ambition. 

When  he  ftist  entered  the  Honsc  of 
Commons  as  a  young  roan*  he  gave  hit 
adhesion  to  the  Pitt  part^,  with  whom  he 
continued  to  act,  and  did  not  withdraw 
from  them  under  Lord  Liverpool.  Bia 
connexion  with  Mr.  Canning,  however, 
had  some  tendency  to  liberalise  hia  senti- 
ments, and  he  was  uuderstood  to  lean 
towardis  that  party  in  the  cabinet  of  which 
his  eminent  relative  wa:^  the  leader  and 
the  head.  When  he  becanie  asaociatcd 
with  the  more  conservative  Whigs  who 
formed  part  of  Mr-  Canning's  Cabinet,  he 
gradually  ceased  to  be  a  strong  Tory,  and 
at  length  might  (airXy  be  reckoned  among 
the  adherents  of  the  opposite  section. 
Latterly  he  had  taken  no  very  active 
share  in  the  buaioeas  of  legislation  or  the 
ordinary  affairs  of  public  life  ;  he  resided 
principally  ia  the  country,  going  through 
the  duties  and  enjoying  the  pleasures  of  4 
country  gentleman  on  the  great  scide 
which  a  man  of  his  enormouG  wealth  and 
high  station  naturally  commanded,  and 
earning  that  esteem  and  affection  among 
hia  friends^  and  neighbours  which  bavo 
attended  him  throug:hout  a  long  life. 

It  is  at  least  v  to  his  forbear- 

ance in  the  exi  ^r^  political  influ- 

ence when  we  Uuvj,  .„.,,,  ^iUtr  having  been  a 
Duke  for  forty-five  years,  he  has  died 
without  the  Garter,  which  was  worn  by 
his  father  aud  grandfather,  as  well  at  by 
the  founder  of  his  family  in  England,  the 
first  Bentinck  Earl  of  Portland. 

The  Duchess  of  Portland  died  on  the

tinghamshire, and  a  Family  Trustee  of  the 
British  Museum,  born  in  1804;  7.  Lady 
Charlotte,  married  in  1827  to  John 
Evelyn  Denison,  esq.  of  Ossington,

The  present  Duke  was  born  in  1800, 
and  is  unmarried. 

The  funeral  of  the  late  Duke  of  Port- 
land took  place  at  Bolsover,  in  Derby- 
shire, on  Tuesday  the  4th  of  April.  In 
accordance  with  the  express  directions  of 
the  deceased,  who  is  said  to  have  limited 
the  outlay  to  100/.,  it  was  conducted  as 
privately  as  possible.  No  private  car- 
riages were  permitted  to  form  part  of  the 
eorUpe,  which  consisted  simply  of  a  hearse 
and  three  ordinary  mourning  coaches,  the 
first  two  containing  Lord  Henry  Bentinck, 
M.P.  (the  present  Duke  being  prevented 
by  illness  from  attending),  Mr.  Evelyn

Mr.  Kelk,  house  steward.  The  funeral 
service  was  performed  by  the  Vicar  of 
Bolsover,  the  Rev.  John  Hamilton  Gray. 
The  Duke  had  expressed  a  wish  that  his 
remains  should  be  interred  in  the  open 
churchyard ;  but  this  desire  was  so  far 
deviated  from  that  a  vault  under  the 
Cavendish  chantry,  at  the  south  side  of 
the  chancel,  which  had  not  been  opened 
for  138  years,  was  selected  to  receive  the 
body.  The  late  Duchess  and  the  late 
Lord  George  Bentinck  were  interred  at 
the  church  of  St.  Marylebone.

but  RndtDg  hb  application  not  immediately 
auccesafult  he  took  the  coif,  and  became  a 
Serjeant.  He  was  for  some  years  Queen's 
Aucieot  Seijeant,  and  Recorder  of  Ban- 
bury, 

At  the  general  election  in  Jon.  IB35  he 
waa  returned  to  Parliament  for  Reading« 
Mr.  Pyahc  Palmer,  the  former  Liberal 
ruombcr,  having  retired.  His  competitor 
of  kindred  politics  was  the  present  mem- 
ber for  Pontefract ;  and  the  result  of  the 
poll  was  as  follows  : — 

Mr.  S^ijeantTalfourd       .     64:i 
Charles  Russellf  esq.     .     .441 
BenjamLo  Obviera,  esq.     .     384 
At  the  election  in  1837  Mr.  Fysbe  Pal- 
mer Bgaia  came  forward,  and  two  Liberal 
memberii  were  returned,  to  the  exclusion 
of  Mr.  Russell,  the  poll  concluding  thus  i

Charles  Russell^  e«q.    .    .     448 

At  the  neict  election^  however,  the  Con- 
scrratives  again  rallied,  and  were  succeas- 
ful  ill  returning  two  members,  Mr.  Russell 
and  Lord  Cbelaen^  Mr.  Talfourd  prudently 
holding  aloof.  But  in  1847  the  balance 
was  again  turned,  and  Mr.  Talfourd  wati 
restored  to  his  i^eat,  after  the  foUowing 
poll:— 

Francis  Pigott,  esq.  ,  .  G14 
Mr.  Serjeant  Talfourd  .  596 
Charles  Russell,  esq.  .  .  521 
Viscount  Chelsea     .    .    *    371* 

In  bie  legislative  capacity^  Mn  Serjea^nt 
T«ilfourti  introduced  two  useful  measures i 
founded  upon  jutit  princJplcs,  namely,  the 
Custody  of  Infants  Act,  and  the  Copy- 
right Alt  of  \%A\  \  and  he  made  some 
successful  speeches,  although  his  style  was 
too  florid  for  the  House  of  Commons. 

He  was  made  a  Judge  of  the  Comuiou 
Fleas  and  knighted  in  IB4S,  and  be  is  ge- 
ucrally  admitted  to  have  discharged  bis 
judicial  duties  with  discretion,  adequate 
learning,  ability,  and  conseientiougneas. 

But  the  space  which  the  late  Mr.  Jus- 
tice Talfourd  has  lilled  in  the  pubUc  mind, 
and  bis  claims  to  be  remembered  by  pos- 


terity^ are  almost  exclusively  owing  to  hl« 
dramatic  productiona,  of  which  Ion  is  pre- 
emmently  tbe  first.  The  last  two  acta  of 
this  drama  are  fall  of  exquisite  poetry, 
and  manifest  a  very  high  order  of  imagiaa' 
tioa  ;  as  an  actini^  pl^y*  though  at  first 
very  successful,  it  has  not  kept  its  pUoe 
on  the  stage,  and,  ou  the  whole,  it  may  bo 
considered  better  titted  for  the  closet  than 
the  stage.  The  »ame  remark  must  he  ap* 
plied  to  The  Athenian  Captive  and  Ulen- 
coe.  He  n  as  also  the  author  of  Vactition 
Rambles,  and  a  Life  of  Charles  Lamb 
and  edited  the  Literary  Remains  of  W  _ 
liam  Ha/litt.  In  fact,  his  warmest  sym 
pathies  at  every  period  of  life  were  with 
literature,  art,  and  the  tirama  \  and  it  is 
much  to  be  feared  that  the  fortune  lie  has 
bequeathed  to  bis  widow  and  numerous 
family  has  been  materially  lesscped  by  hig 
liberality  to  struggling  merit  and  genius 
in  difficulties,  or  to  what  he,  with  hia 
warm  heart  and  trusting  spirit,  v^aa  ivtis- 
tied  to  encourage  and  relieve  under  thcte 
denominations. 

Mr.  Justice  Talfourd  was  on  the  Ox* 
ford  Circuit  at  the  time  of  his  death.  In 
aasoeiation  with  Mr,  Justice  Wightman, 
he  opened  the  coroniitiston  at  Oxford  on 
the  tjth  of  March,  and  that  at  Stufford  on 
the  1 1  th,  Ou  tbe  following  day  (Sunday) 
he  was  present  at  church,  and  oo  tbe 
Monday  morning  he  look  an  early  walk. 
At  the  usual  hour  he  entered  tbe  court,  and 
commenced  his  address  to  the  grand  jury. 
He  proceeded  with  his  usual  energy,  but  at 
times  with  evident  hesitation  and  difficulty* 
In  aliudjiig  to  the  state  of  the  calendar, 
which  contained  a  list  of  upwards  of  1 00 
prisoners,  matiy  of  them  charged  with  the 
moat  atroeioua  offences  short  of  murder, 
he  called  the  attention  of  the  grand  jury 
to  the  fact  that  there  were  no  fewer  than 
17  cases  of  manslaughter,  and  30  cases 
where  persons  were  charged  with  the  crime 
of  highway  robbery.  These  crimes,  his 
lordship  observed,  might  be  traced  iu  a 
vast  number  of  cases  to  the  vice  of  intem- 
perance, which  was  so  prevalent  in  the 
mining  districts;  and,  while  commenting 
upon  this  itate  of  things,  his  lordship 
feelingly  deplored  the  want  of  sympathy 
which  existed  between  the  higher  and 
lower  classes,  and  urged  the  duty  of  tbe 
superior  ranks  of  society  to  take  a  more 
lively  interest  in  the  welfare  of  those  who 
were  beneath  them.  While  commeni 
upon  these  topics,  hia  Lorddiip 
coDiiiderably  excited  and  flushed  in 
face,  and  accurate  observers  noticed  that 
hia  voice  became  somewhat  thick  and  in* 
articulatG.  On  a  sodden  he  fell  forward 
with  his  face  upon  his  hook,  and  then 
swayed  on  one  side  towards  Mr,  Saoaogi 
his  senior  olerki  and  Ms  second  ttm  KU.

I  lennoTed  hi§  neckcloth,  &c.  and  called  for

}  ivLg  was  itertorons  and  hiH  face  tiTul,  antl 
but  a  feeble  action  of  ihe  ptiise  could  be 
I  felt.      Mr,  Justice  Wightman   was  hnr- 
I  riedly  summoned  from  the  Civil  Courts 
I  ttid  hastened  to  the  8pot»  but  only  arrived 
f  in  time  to  tee  hb  h rather  judge  home  on 
I  the  shooIdeTS  of  six  genUemen  from  the 
eourt^  and   on   arriving   at    the  Judges' 
lodgings,  adjoining  the  court,  it  was  found 
[  thst  life  was  quite  extinct.     Mr.  Francis 
I  Talfbnrdf  hts  Lordship's  eldest  ton,  who 
had  just  joined  the  Oiford  Circtiit,  was 
precluded  by  etiquette  from  being  in  the 
Crown  Court  during  the  chftrge  to  the 
frajid  jury.      He  was  immediately  sum- 
moned, but  did  not  arriirc  before  his  father 
[  had  ceased  to  breathe. 

The  members  of  the  bar  could  not  fail 

j  to  call  to  mind  that  his  lordship's  cleva- 

[  tion  to   the  bench  was  comtnunlcated  to 

Stafford  in    an   equaDy  snddeu    manner 

daring  the  assizes  which  took  place  at  that 

I  town  about  four  years  siocc. 

In  his  charge  to  the  grand  jury  at  the 
,  Derby  Assixes,  Mr.  Justice  Coleridge  elo- 
quently alluded  to  **  the  awfully  sudden 
death  of  my  brother  TalfonrtL     He   wna 
I  sitting,  as  1  do  now,  discharging  the  same 
duty  in  which  I  am  engaged,  and  in  the 
act  of  addressing  the  grand  jury,  when  in 
an  instant  that  eloquent  tongue  Was  nr- 
.  rested  by  the  hand  of  death,  and  that  ge* 
f  Berous,  unselfish  heart  was  cold.     Surely 
nothing  can  exemplify  more  strikingly  the 
uncertainty  of  life.    There  he  was  sitting, 
I  M  I  am  now,  administering  justice— people 
were  trembling  at  the  thought  of  having  to 
come   before   him,  but  in   a  minute   his 
I  function  was  over,  and  he  was  gone  to  his 
J  own  nccount.     Gentlemen,  as  he  was  the 
^  leader  of  another  circuit,  and  1  believe  had 
never  visited  this  as  a  judge,  he  was  pro* 
I  bably  not  much  known  to  you  either  at 
t  the  bar  or  on  the  beoch.  His  literiiry  per- 
forraaneet  you  can  scarcely  be  ignorant  of; 
but,  indeed,   he  was   much    more    than 
I  nierely  a  distinguished  leader,  an  eminent 
Hndge,  or  a  great  ornament  of  our  literature. 
I  Ho  had  one  ruling  purpose  of  his  life, — 
I  tiie  doing  good  to  his  fellowcrcatures  in 
I  hisgeneration.  He  was  eminently  courteous 
and  kind,   generous,   simple- hearted,    of 
^  great    modesty,   of  the  strictest  honour, 
and  of  spotless  integrity." 

He  was  created  a  Doctor  of  Civil  Law 
,  by  the  University  of  Oiford,  on  the  SOth 
June  1844.

Major-General  Henry  Godwiu,  C,B,  Com- 
mander of  the  Sirhiod   Division  of  the 
Bengal  army. 

General  Godwin  entered  the   army  in 

Oct.  1799  aa  Ensign  in  the  9th  Foot,  with 

which  he  served  on  the  expedition  to  the 

Ferrol  in   1800;  in  that  to  Hanover  in 

1805;  and  in  Portugal  from  Sept.  1808 

to  Ju!y  1809f  including  the  passage  of  the 

DourOf   having  attained  hti  company  in 

March  1808.     In  18  LO  he  marched  with 

•the  light  company  in  a   flaolc   baltalion 

from    Gibraltar   to  the    lirst   defence   of 

Tar  if 0.     He  was  a  volunteer  with  Lord 

Blajney  from  Gibraltar  on  the  expedition 

I  to  Malaga,  and  present  at  the  attack  on 

j  the  fortreas  of  Fuengarola.     In   1811  he 

1  ]Nro<xeded  again  to  Tarifa^  in  command  of 

I  tiie  two  flank  companies,  to  join  the  force 

!  itnder  Lord  Lynedoch,  and  was  present 

mt  the  battle  of  Barroaa,   and  severely 

wounded.     For  that  battle  he  received  the 

war^medal  with  one  cla^p ;    and  for  his 

general  serTices  in  the  Peninsala  he  was 

nominated  a  Companion  of  the  Bath. 

On  the  26th  May,  1814.  he  waa  pro- 
moted to  a  majority  in  the  5th  West  India 
regiment,  from  which  he  was  removed  to 
I  the  41st  Foot  on  the  30th  Nov.  1815. 

In  1822  he  embarked  in  command  of 

f  the  41st  for  Madras.     In  1824  he  joined 

Sir  Archibald  Campbell  with  that  regiment 

I  In  the  inTaaion  of  the  Burmese  empire, 

>  and  he  served  throughout  that  war,  from 

I  the  landing  and  capture  of  Rangoon  until 

Ihe  peace  made  in  Feb.  1826,  and  during 

I  ita  progrei»s  he  wa«  employed  in  six  several 

(^mmands  against  the  enemy.     In  Oct. 

\  1824  he  embarked  with  a  force  from  Ran- 

[  goon  to  capture  the  province  of  Maitaban, 

Gbnt.  Mao.  Vol.  XU, 


where  he  stormed  its  strongly  fortified 
town,  taking  thirty-two  pieces  of  heavy 
ordnance  and  oth^^r  armsi.  On  the  Sth 
Feb.  1825.  he  captured  the  fortified  posi- 
tion of  Tantabain,  taking  36  pieces  of  ar- 
tillery and  other  arms.  He  was  also 
present  in  every  action  with  the  enemy 
(except  those  in  Dec.  1 82 1»  when  he  was 
still  employed  at  Martaban),  particularly 
at  Sembike  on  the  Ut  Dec.  1825,  when  in 
command  of  the  advanoed  gnard  he  carried 
the  front  face  of  the  enemy's  position.  He 
commanded  the  1st  Brigade  of  the  Madras 
division,  and  was  twice  thanked  by  the 
Governor- General  in  Cooncit.  He  waa 
placed  on  half.pay  of  the  @7th  Foot^  June 
25.  1827. 

He  attained  the  rank  of  Colonel^  Jon. 
10,  1837,  and  that  of  Major-General  Nov. 
9,  1846.  He  afterwards  held  the  brevet 
of  Lieut. -General,  but  he  was  one  of  those 
in  whose  cases  it  was  cancelled  in  the  year 
185S. 

On  the  breaking  out  of  the  second  Bur- 
mefic  war  in  the  tpring  of  185^2,  General 
Godwm,  as  an  officer  of  experience  in  that 
country,  was  selected  to  command  the 
Bengal  division  of  the  army.  He  arrived 
in  the  Rangoon  river  at  the  beginning  of 
April  Durioi^  the  same  month  he  effected 
the  capture  of  the  town  of  Rangoon.  ♦*  No 
man,  remarks  Capt.  Laurie  in  his  nar- 
rative of  the  war,  "^  bore  the  fatigues  of 
the  day  better  than  the  gallant  General ; 
be  waa  busy  everywhere,  animating  their 
troops  by  his  presence."  The  struggle 
was  decided  by  the  storming  of  the  Great 
Pagoda,  as  noticed  in  the  memoir  of  Capt. 
Latter  in  our  present  number.  On  the 
1 9th  May  the  town  of  Basseln  was 
stormed,  and  on  the  4th  of  June  that  of 
Pegu.  His  reputation  subsequently  suf- 
fered, from  the  lingering  progress  of  the 
war.  It  is  affirmed,  however,  that  he 
acted  strictly  in  obedience  to  orders :  and 
Lord  Dalhoosie  has  distinctly  expreaaed 
his  fult  approval  of  General  Godwin's 
conduct.  Whatever  objections  may  be 
taken  to  the  employment  of  aged  com* 
mandera,  General  Godwin  in  activity  of 
mind  and  body  was  aa  young  as  his  Aide 
de  Camps.  The  manner  in  which  his 
death  has  been  caused  bears  evidence  to 
his  octivity*  It  was  by  overheating  him- 
self with  eierdse  that  his  fatal  malady  waa 
originated.  Thb  occurred  during  a  visit 
to  General  Sir  W.  M.  Gomm,  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief, at  Simlah.  The  i>e/Ai 
Gazette  of  the  29th  Oct.  contained  the 
following  announcement  :—

to  the  memory  of  rare  private  worth  and

*'  Manffoon,  April  17,  IB^'i. 

"  My  dearest  Mother, — As  tbe  diflpatehes 
are  going  oflf  1  write  a  few  lines  to  tell  you 
J  am  quite  safe  and  untouched.  The  itorm* 
ing  of  the  great  Pagoda  took  place  the  day 
before  yeaterday,  and  I  have  not  had  a 
moment  to  apara  aiace  Ibe  place  fell  into 
our  haudi. 

**  I  have  time  to  say  Utde,  except  that 
at  joy  earoest  suggettion  the  General 
changed  hia  plant,  and  stormed  at  tbe 
fioiot  I  poiuted  out  to  him.  I  told  him 
that  bit  men  were  auffering  greatly  from 
the  enemy's  gunsi  and  that,  if  he  would 
allow  me  to  lead  on  the  storm  in  the 
direetion  whieh  I  pointed  out,  he  ahould 
be  inside  in  twenty  minutes.  After  much 
heaitatjon  ba  agreed  to  it.  i  led  the  for- 
lorn hope  i  the  ar«it  fifty  that  followed  me 
had  twenty^eight  knocked  dowu  by  the 
first  volley.  We  stormed  in  the  face  of 
three  plateaus  of  musketeers;  and  one  poor 
offi^r  (Lieut.  Doran),  a  young  man  who 
mabed  up  to  support  me,  waa  knocked 
over  within  two  feet  of  me,  with  aefen 
bullets  in  bim ;  the  neit  who  uame  and 
joined  me  (Col.  Cootea),  IBth  Royal  Iriab, 
waa  tbot  in  two  places,  and  his  life  was 
only  saved  by  a  bullet  striking  the  muxzle 
of  hia  pistol  in  bis  belt,  and  taking  a  piece 
out.  When  the  General  came  np  it  waa 
about  seventeen  minutes,  and,  as  X  had 
kept  my  word,  I  kept  away  from  meeting 
'   n,     iO|  after  some  timci  one  of  his 


A*D.C/8t  who  had  been  sent  to  find  me 
out,  took  me  up,  and  the  dear  good  man 
ahook  me  wsrwly  by  the  hand  and  said, 
*  Latter,  1  ihaiik  you,  not  only  for  your 
advice  but  your  gall nnlry— you  have  saved 
ufi  a  great  many  of  our  men/  And  now, 
with  best  love,  in  great  haste,  believe  me 
ever  your  most  affectionate  and  dutiful 
son,  TuoMAs  Lattkh/^ 

At  the  storming  of  Bassein,  on  the  10th 
of  May,  Capt.  Latter  was  again  employed. 
While  holding  a  parley  with  the  Burmese, 
be  was  struck  down  hy  a  spent  ball,  and 
the  non^Gommissioned  officer  who  accom- 
panied him  was  killed  and  fell  over  him, 
so  that  for  some  time  he  was  supposed  to 
be  slain.  Subsequently  he  accompanied 
the  expodttion  to  Pegu,  as  related  in 
Laurie^s  '*  Second  Burmese  War/'  p*  179, 
where  he  is  spoken  of  as  "  our  Chevalier 
Bayard,  '  sans  peur  et  sans  reproche/*'' 

For  the  lost  year  of  his  life  lie  had  oo* 
copied  the  post  of  Deputy  Commiisioner 
at  Prome ;  where  (in  the  words  of  Captain 
D'Oyly  of  his  own  regime nt,)  he  has  met 
the  subtle  falsehood  and  crafty  policy  of 
the  court  of  Ava  with  a  sagacity  that  few 
could  equal  The  same  gentleman,  who 
has  known  him  intimately  since  1B48, 
declares  that  he  shall  be  always  ready  to 
record  his  testimony  to  Captain  Latter' 8 
eminent  abilitiee,  untiring  energy,  his  reso- 
lution, and  dauntless  spirit.  The  govern* 
roent  of  Ava  have  for  months  been  com- 
passing his  assassination:  and  on  thn 
approach  of  the  very  night  in  vrhich  it 
waa  accomplished,  after  dining  with  Mr. 
Wilson,  a  medical  officer  attached  to  tbe 
4th  Sikh  regimenl,  on  witbing^  him  "  Good 
night,"  he  said,  **  It  is  well  for  you  that 
you  can  go  to  bed  surrounded  by  your 
Sikhs  ;  I  can  never  lay  my  head  down  on 
my  pillow  without  thinking  I  may  never 
wake.''  He  went  to  bed  about  eleven 
o'clock.  About  two  o'clock  a.m.  one  of 
the  aentrlea  over  the  treaaore  beard  one 
ejaculation  from  the  bed  which  alarmed 
him.  He,  not  liking  to  leave  his  post, 
called  to  Captain  Latter,  and  receiving  no 
reply  he  roused  the  Treaanry  guard,  which 
consisted  of  eight  men»  who  immediately 
fell  in.  He  then  ran  to  the  bed ;  he  saw 
no  one,  but  called  for  the  aenrants,  two  of 
whom  came  running  to  tbe  spot :  one  waa 
a  German,  and  the  other  a  Hindostanea 
servant.  The  former  ran  to  the  treaiury, 
and  aeizing  the  light  returned  to  his  maa* 
ter's  bed«  Captain  Latter  was  then  dying  { 
he  just  raised  his  eyes  to  his  aervant^s  face 
and  expired  without  a  movement.  The 
medical  men  are  all  of  opinion  that  a 
wound  in  the  throat  was  the  Arst  received; 
that  it  waa  thf?  only  fatal  one,  and  that 
death  must  have  been  almost  instantaneous. 
There  were  four  other  woundjt.

safety.  Tite  true  explanation  is — that  this 
galUut  public  officer,  who  was  well  known 
to  be  a  marked  object  of  fear  and  hatred 
of  the  Burmese  gofernmeni— many  plots 
against  whose  life  had  been  discovered  and 
frastratedf  and  more  than  one  actual  at- 
tempt mado^HJo  one  occasion  the  bullet 
of  the  assassin  just  missing  him^  and  the 
wadding  ittrikiog  his  horse — did  at  last  fall 
a  victim  to  the  blow  of  au  ciniiisary  of 
the  wily  and  perfidious  court  of  Ava.  I 
might  go  on  to  show  how  abhorrent  the 
life  attributed  to  him  was  to  hi^  pursuits  ; 
how  he  spent  short  intervals  uf  leisure 
that  he  could  snatch  from  bis  arduous 
public  duties  in  the  pursuits  of  literature 
and  science  ;  how,  with  the  view  of  exalt- 
ing the  British  character  for  science  in 
the  eyes  of  the  Burmeae,  and  afibrding 
entertaining  instruction  to  the  natives  and 
the  soldiery »  he  had  proeured  firom  Eng- 
land expensive  philosophical  apparatus, 
«lid  shortly  before  his  death  waa  in  cor- 
RStpondeuee  for  tuore ;  how,  besides  bis 
jMlblic  merit  as  a  soldier,  which  no  one 
dbputes,  he  was  known  to  a  large  private 
circle,  who  could  testify  to  hi*  wortli  in 
the  endearing  relations  of  husband,  father, 
and  friend— '1  might  confidently  appeal  to 
the  whole  Indian  society,  where  his  gen- 
tlemanly manners  maile  hira  a  welcome 
guest  in  the  houses  of  the  most  scrupulous 
und  refined  ;  1  might  refer  to  the  volumes 
of  uninterrupted  correspondence  wich  his 
pioua  parent,  containing  his  feelings  on 
aabjectt  of  a  far  higher  nature,  which  ar« 
now  her  only  consolation,  and  which  she 
values  very  far  beyond  alt  the  hononrt  he 
gained  in  his  abort  but  brilliant  career.*'

R»v.  Gkokgs  STAXX.SY  FABKn,  B.D. 

Jan,  37.  At  his  residence  as  Maiter 
of  Sberbum  Hospital^  near  Durham » 
agwd  80,  the  Rct.  George  Stanley  Paber, 
B,D,  Prebendary  of  Salislmry,  whose  the- 
ological writiaj^f  particularly  those*  on 
Prophecy,  have  during  more  than  half  a 
century  received  a  Tcry  wide  and  general 
acceptation. 

He  was  born  on  the  25th  Oct,  1773 » 
and  was  the  eldest  son  of  the  Rev.  Thomas 
Faher,  by  Anne,  daughter  of  the  Rev, 
David  Trnvisa.  He  wm  educattid  by  the 
Eer.  Richard  Hiid^n^  M. A,  at  the  Gram- 
mar school  of  Heppeobolme,  nearHilifaXt 
where  he  remained  until  be  went  to  the 
uniTcraity.  He  commenced  bia  Oxford 
career  at  University  College  at  the  age  of 
aiiteeOf  and  took  his  degree  of  B,A.  when 
only  mneteeo.  Before  he  had  reached 
his  twenty-first  year,  he  was  elected 
a  Fellow  and  Tutor  of  Liucoln  College, 
He  proceeded  M.A.  1796,  B.D.  \mx 
Me  lerred  the  office  of  Proctor  in  I  BO  I; 
and  in  the  «ame  year*  as  Hampton  Lec- 
turer, he  preached  the  di«cour(iea  which 
he  shortly  afier  published  under  the  title 
of  Horv  Moaaicft. 

At  that  pneriod  the  stagnation  which  bad 
long  settled  over  the  Church  of  England 
was  at  length  broken  by  the  tempest  of 
the  French  Revolution.  The  solemn  time 
awakened  solemn  thomght^,  and  forgotten 
truths  were  preached  to  eager  hearers. 
Foremost  among  the  preachers  in  bis  own 
university  was  the  young  but  able  theolo- 
gian whose  death  we  now  record.  He 
embraced,  by  no  means  as  the  corner- 
stone of  atecbnical  system,  hut  as  a  living 
principle  of  action,  the  Evangetical  doc- 
trines of  the  universal  necessity  of  con- 
version, justification  by  faith,  and  (when 
subsc(|uent  cotitroversy  had  brought  it 
into  prominenCL')  the  sole  authority  of 
Scripture  as  the  rule  of  faith.  Such 
doctrines  he  proclaimed  zealously  and 
boldly  \  teaching  none  other  things  than 
our  great  Reformers  from  Craunaer  to 
Hooker  did  teach,  and  such  as  he  read 
aod  heartily  acknowledged  in  the  articles 
and  homilies  of  the  Church.  By  this 
conduct,  as  well  as  by  his  able  writings, 
be  attracted  the  notice^  nnd  conciliated 
the  friendship^  of  such  able  scholars  as 
Bishop  Burgess  and  Bishop  Van  Mildert^ 
and  of  such  exeeilent  men  as  Bishop  Bar- 
rington,  the  Mnrquess  of  Bath,  Lord 
Bexley,  and  Dr.  Rouch. 

Mr.  Paber  was  married.  May  31,  1803, 
(at  Marylebone  Churcht  by  Dr.  Horsley, 
Bishop  of  St,  Asaph,)  to  Eliza 'Sophia, 
younger  daughter  of  Major  John  Scott- 
Waj-iog,  of  Itice,  co,  Chester,  some  time 
M.Rfor  Stockbridgc. 

Having  by  this  step   relinqaished  bis

fellowship,  he  went  to  reside  with  bis 
father  at  Calverley,  iiemr  Bradford,  in 
Yorkahirc,  where,  for  two  years,  he  acted 
as  curate.  In  1805  he  was  collated  by 
his  constant  friend  and  patron,  Bishop 
Barrington»  to  the  vicarage  of  Stockton- 
upon-Tecs»  which  be  resigned  three  years 
after  for  that  of  Redmarshall,  also  io  the 
county  of  Durham  ;  and  m  1811  he  waa 
collated  by  the  same  prelate  to  the  vicar- 
age of  Longnewton,  where  be  remained 
during  twenty-one  years.  In  1831  Bishop 
Burgess  collated  Mr,  Faher  to  a  prebend 
in  Salisbury  cathedral  ■  and  in  1B32 
Bishop  Van  Mildert  gave  him  the  mastcr- 
ftbip  of  Sherbura  Hospital,  when  he  re- 
signed the  rectory  of  Longocwton* 

Mr.  Fttber'fi  writings  up<in  prophecy, 
and  upon  the  principal  doetrines  and  con- 
troversies which  have  successively  agitatod 
the  Church,  were  continued  through  a 
period  of  more  than  forty  years.  We  can

pasting  their  several  titles  under  review,  in

tli«t  lie  dMired  no  more  than  to  elucidate 
tbc  rulei  by  which  the  iDtcrpretation  of 
prophecf  i»  to  he  determined.  Owe  prio- 
cipio  whkh  he  eslabliiihed  fttid  ciempli6ed 
wutf  that  the  doliocatiOQS  of  eveat^  m 
prophecy  are  Dot  appUcatjle  to  the  desti- 
nieH  of  Individudbi,  but  to  tkoae  of  po!icks& 
audnationi.  It  was  thus  that  in  1805  be 
traced  iu  the  violently  slain  and  rcviired 
Sereatb  Head  of  the  Apocalyptio  Beaiit, 
not  tlie  f&tc  of  tbe  Emperor  Napoleon, 
but  of  the  imperial  form  of  government 
— overwhelmcii  iu  13 15 — dormant  during 
the  Restoration — and  revived  in  the  persnu 
of  tbe  Second  Napoleon.  When  ho  had 
onae  ventured  upon  an  elucidation  of  pro- 
phecy aioeordin^  to  hi§  fixed  canons,  he 
wsi  nerer  awayed  towards  a  varied  inter- 
preUtioQ  under  the  immediate  preaence 
of  efents  apparently  trreconcilablB  with 
his  firat  deliberate  imprecsion.  The  hra- 
cbure«  whiab  he  published  hut  year  upon 
the  Revival  of  the  Empire  in  France,  and 
the  Downfall  of  Turkey,  were,  for  the 
most  part,  only  reprints  of  his  deductions 
from  the  prophetical  records  publiahcd 
forty  years  before. 

Mr.  Faber'a  controverflial  writing  i,ihou^h 
from  their  very  nature  thoy  will  be  less 
long-lived  thao  hia  works  on  prophecy, 
have  hitherto  been  more  extensively  uaefuU 
Hii  argumentative  ttyle  waa  severely  logi- 
cal; arising  frooa  a  love  of  exactitude, 
whieU  hi»  ttrong  common  aenae  taught 
him  to  be  the  basis  of  truth.  Whilat  occa- 
sionally compelled  to  adopt  analysis,  be 
loved  rather,  and  made  more  frequent  uae 
of,  the  synthetical  method  of  reasoning. 
He  did  not,  of  course,  refuse  the  aid  of 
any  weapon  of  pbiloaophy:  analogy  wai, 
however,  very  sparingly  employed  by  him. 
Uia  powers  of  CO ncentratiou  were  remark- 
able; as  waa  also  the  per«evenmcQ  with 
which  be  puraued  the  atudy  which,  at  any 
period,  engaged  hia  ihoughta.  He  seemed 
to  adopt  the  aentimenta  of  Cicero  ;  'Mi»c 
atudta  adolescent! am  alunt,  senectntem 
obleotant,  tecundti  res  omaut,  adversiis 
perfugiuM  et  solatium  procbent :  delectant 
domi,  non  impediunt  foris ;  pernoctant 
nnbiscum,  peregrinantur,  ruaticantur/^ 
Throughout  his  life  hi*  industry  was  ex- 
traordinary. Although  he  retired  at  no 
very  early  hour,  it  waa  hit  invariable  cua- 
torn  to  be  seated  at  his  desk  by  six  o'clock 
in  tbe  morning,  during  winter  as  well  aa 
lumoier,  and  tbis  too  to  within  three 
months  of  hl^  decease.  Nor  did  this  con- 
Btaot  use  of  his  faculties  impair  their 
energy.  He  waa  able  to  tbe  lot t  to  read 
the  smallest  print  without  a  lens;  and  his 
coatributiona,  during  the  la^t  few  montba, 
to  variooa  pnpera  and  periodicals,  proved 
the  unweakened  vigour  of  his  intellect. 
Hia  acquaintance  with  the  polite  literature 


of  modern  as  well  a^i  ancient  Datloni  waa 
very  extensive  \  nor  was  he  ever  at  a  fault 
in  detect! Dg  a  garbled  or  imperfect  quota- 
tion from  bia  favourite  authors.  In  nothing 
was  he  more  severely  accurate  than  iu  his 
referencea  to  patristic  theology;  and  he 
had,  aa  he  expressed  it,  '''  an  awkward 
habit  of  verification,"  extremely  annoying 
to  a  dijiingenuDUB  opponent,  which  was, 
however^  by  no  maani  a  laborioua  prooesa 
to  him,  for,  to  use  another  favourite  ex- 
preasion  of  his,  **  he  had  wintered  and 
summered ''  the  original  authors.  From 
the  variety  and  accuracy  of  his  knowledge 
he  never  was  expoi^ed  to  the  temptation  of 
subritituting  persona!  rcflcetiona  for  argu- 
'meDt,  and  hia  well-disciplined  mind  saved 
him  from  any  exhibition  of  loaa  of  temper* 
Whilst  he  adhered  pertinaciou.Hty  to  facts 
himself,  be  never  allowed  his  adversary  to 
wander  from  the  qucation  in  point  without 
immediately  recalling  him,  refusing  to 
diacuf a  new  aubjectt  until  the  one  in  hand 
had  been  first  disposed  of. 

In  the  immediate  circle  of  bis  frienda, 
his  amiable  and  engaging  qualities  were 
naiveraally  acknowledged.  In  the  govern- 
ment of  the  charitable  institution  over 
which  be  had  presided  for  twenty-two 
yeari,  he  waa  conaiderate,  though  firm  and 
impartial  i  whilst  the  appeal  of  need,  from 
whateier  quarter,  alwaji  found  hii  oar 
ready  and  bi^  hand  open  He  was  not  a 
person  of  an  excitable  or  enthuaiastic  tem- 
perament, but  there  was  a  deep  current  of 
devotional  feeling  whioU  pervaded  hia 
heart  and  characterised  hU  life.  His 
mind  waa  na clouded  to  tbe  laat,  and  the 
power  of  true  religion  was  beautifully  dia- 
played  in  the  calm  and  confident  faith 
wbioh  luitained  him  during  hia  paasage 
through  the  valley  of  the  shadow  of  death. 
By  the  lady  before  named  Mr,  Faber 
had  five  children,  of  whom  two  survive 
him, — Char  lea  Wariug  Faber,  esq.  bar- 
rifiter-atdaw,  and  Ltent. -Colonel  William 
Raikea  Faber.  Hia  other  children  died  in 
their  infancy.  Ilia  body  was  interred  in 
the  chapel  of  Sherburn  Hospital, 

A  portrait  of  Mr.  Faber,  hy  T.  PhilUpi,

RiCBAHP  Hakbis,  Ehu.  M.P, 
Fett.  2.  At  Leicester,  aged  7Ct  Richard 
Harris*  Esq.  formerly  M.P.  for  that  town. 
Mr.  Harris  was  bom  tn  the  humbler 
ranks  of  Ufe,  and  was  in  every  respect  the 
architect  of  bis  own  fortune.  As  a  boy 
he  waa  employed  in  the  office  of  the  Lei- 
cester Hcraldi  then  conducted  fay  Mr., 
afterwards  Sir  Richard,  IMiillipg.  He  was 
Bubicquently  connected  with  the  staple 
manufacture  of  the  borough,  and  made  his 
money  by  hosiery.  After  having  occupied 
a  seat  ai  a  oonncillor  and  alderman , 
almost  from  the  commencement  of  the 
new  corporation,  he  was  chosen  mayor  in 
1843,  and  duriug  hii  year  of  office  wag 
invited  to  dine  with  Queen  Victoria  at 
Bel  voir  Castle^- an  honour  never  before 
conferred  on  a  mayor  of  Leicester.  On 
that  occasion  her  Majesty  condescended  to 
notice  him  kindly,  and  the  late  Duke  of 
Wellington  entered  into  conversation  with 
him.     Mr.   Harris  was  indeed   a  fitting 


type  of  a  great  and  growing  community 
of  manufacturers^  and  thus  exemplified 
the  wo r lis  of  a  Book  which  he  daily  con- 
snited  :  *'  Seest  thou  a  man  diligent  in 
business  ?  he  shall  stand  before  Kings  ond 
not  before  mean  men/^  Though  delicicnt 
in  those  advantages  which  education  con* 
fers,  he  was  endowed  with  good  sense, 
and  earned  by  his  upright  character  and 
conduict  a  position  often  denied  to  men  of 
more  brilliant  endowments.  He  had  been 
through  life  a  consistent  Liberal  in  poli- 
tics, and,  after  entertaining  infidel  views 
in  early  life,  he  joined  the  Baptist  Church 
in  Sept*  1800»  and  had  subsecjuently 
maintained  an  honourable  religious  pro- 
fession. He  was  an  intimate  friend  of  the 
celebrated  Dr.  Carey,  served  as  deacon  to 
the  Rev.  Robert  Hall,  and  united  with 
Mr,  James  Cort  and  others  in  the  erec- 
tion of  Charles-street  chapel  in  Leicester. 

Mr.  Harris  was  returned  to  Parliament 
for  Leicester,  together  with  Mr.  John 
Elli«,  in  April  1848,  on  the  previous  elec- 
tion of  Sir  Joshua  Walmsley  and  Mr. 
Richard  Gardner  being  declared  void  by 
a  committee  i  and  be  sat  until  the  disso- 
lution in  1852,  His  business  is  continued 
by  his  sons.

April  a.  At  Hull,  aged  70.  James  Hen- 
wood,  esq.  one  of  Her  Majesty's  Justicef 
of  the  Peace  for  that  borough. 

Mr.  Henwood  was  a  native  of  Canter- 
bury^  but  had  resided  in  Hull  considerably 
more  than  half  a  century.  He  was  con- 
nected, during  the  whole  of  that  time, 
with  the  bank  of  Messrs.  Samuel  Smith, 
Brothers,  and  Co.  first  in  the  capacity  of 
clerk,  and  eventnally  as  a  partner,  A 
rare  combination  of  intellectual  power  and 
moral  excellence  pointed  him  out  as  emi- 
nently worthy  of  the  elevation  to  which  he 
attained.  As  a  banker  his  opinion  was 
always  respected,  and  felt  to  be  important 
in  cases  diffieult  of  solution.  His  policy 
waa  always  liberal  when  it  was  expedient 
that  money  should  be  advanced  for  the 
promotion  of  public  improvements.  Nor 
was  iih  advice  leas  influential  as  deputy* 
chairman  of  the  Dock  Company,  as  a  rail- 
way director,  or  oa  a  magiitrate*  Pre- 
ferring the  pablic  good  to  hi<  own  privar^ 
interests,  his  aim  was  always  to  tecnre  the 
rights  of  all  parties.  Caution,  discrimina- 
tion, and  sagacity  were  the  leading  traits 
of  hia  mental  confititution  ;  and  he  bad 
the  further  advantage,  in  reasoning,  of  a 
perfect  command  of  temper.  His  waa  the 
charity  "that  is  not  cosily  provoked.'^ 
Most  of  the  philanthropic  institutions  of 
the  town  found  in  him  a  liberal  patron, 


cesaiOQ  lacwt  of  the  estates  of  tUe  timgli*

tween land  lord  nod  teoant  incidental  to 
the  chatig:es  in  the  law  of  titbfia.  the  ar- 
rangement of  parochial  differeooea, 
the  introduction  of  railways,  opened  «  »ti 
wider  »phere  of  action  to  Mr.  Srn -^"^  —  * —-e^i 
opinions  were  constantly  in  r 
and  his  awards  were  received  u 
ried  satisfactiuD,  his  judgment  as  a  rpfer 
being  sotight  far  beyond  the  countf  i 
Sossex. 

For  many  years  Mr.  Smith  wu  in  i 
habitant  of  Lewes,  to  which  he  remofOi 
upOQ  resigning  the  farming   husiaesa 
Bevendean.     Here  he  enjoyed  the  resp 
of  the  inhabitants,  alike  for  the  kiodii 
of  hii  character,  his  charitable  dtspo»itio 
and  the  liberality  with  which  be  supporttt 
the  varioQ!}  locat  objects  of  interest  in  tb 
town.     As  a  friend  he  was  unswerviit 
and  in  his  domestic  relations  he  ' 
Q^eetionatc  hoshaud  and  a  kind  {utreot. 

HiH  body  was  interred  at  Falmer,  at-

while  his  prlrttte  charities  are  known  to 
baf«  been  very  eirtea^i^e.  He  took  an 
active  part  in  founding  the  Lyceum,  of 
which  be  was  for  many  years  the  President;

from  the  pencil  of  George  Pycock  Green, 
esq. 

Mr.  Hen  wood  was  a  oontistent  Method- 
ist, and  for  many  years  took  an  active 
part,  as  a  class- leader  and  a  local  preacher, 
in  diffusing  practical  Christianity  among 
the  m.asses.  But,  though  a  Methodist^  he 
Tenerated  the  Cburgb  of  England,  his 
sympathies  being  with  Ibe  eTatigelical 
clergy*  His  catholic  fe«lina:s»  in  short, 
led  him  to  m%intnin  the  kindliest  inter- 
course with  orthodox  Christians  of  erery 
name.  He  was  a  publir-spiritt^d  man  in 
the  beat  sense  of  the  expres^iion,  sBcalously 
patronising  all  that  tended  to  promote  the 
trade  and  commerce  of  the  town,  as  well 
as  erery  object  of  philanthropy.  In  poU- 
tioa  be  waa  a  liberal  Cooaervative,  com- 
bining a  love  for  terapernte  reforms  with 
a  jealous  attachment  to  the  institutioos  of 
the  conn  try.  As  a  fnend  his  attachments, 
once  formed,  were  enduring  i  nor  did  he 
allow  differences  of  opiciioii  in  politics  or 
religion  to  produce  the  ieast  es  t  range  me  nt 
in  hifl  alfections.  The  literary  ncquire- 
ments  of  Mr.  Hen  wood  were  raried  and 
extensive,  his  habits  being  those  of  close 
appUciition  to  study,  and  hit  memory  re- 
markably tenacious.  Both  his  pen  and 
his  tongue — for  he  was  no  mean  orator — 
attested  the  superior  cnltirstion  of  his 
miud.  As  he  lived  so  he  died,  in  the 
poaseasion  of  a  lively  faith  in  the  truths  of

Smith,  eaq.  of  St.^nne's,  Lewes. 

Mr.  Smith  occupied  for  some  years  a 
farm  at  Beveodean,  where  his  talent  and 
integrity  obtained  the  confidence  of  the 
present  Earl  of  Chichester,  who  opened 
to  him  a  more  extensive  lield,  gradually 
entrusting  him  with  the  management  of 
his  estates,  and  placing  in  his  hands  the 
supervision  of  Stanmer,  Laughion,  &€, ; 
these,  under  hU  guidanoe  and  directioii, 
cxpe  rienccd  the  greatest  ben  eli  t.  H  ts  mind 
was  at  once  inquiring  and  practical  \  and 
with  a  happy  mixture  of  suavity  and  firra- 
neis,  Mr.  Smith  conciliated  the  good  feci- 
iDg  of  the  tenantry,  whilst  he  ever  encou* 
raged  any  improvement  to  the  estate.  His 
success  in  administering  Lord  Chichester'^s 
estates  canted  his  advice  to  be  sought  after 
by  other  Uaded  proprietora,  aod  in  sue-

Mr.  William  Richardson  was  for  msny 
years  a  bookseller  under  the  Royal  Ex- 
change, and  had  also  a  shop  ofipositr,  in 
Cornhill.  On  his  death  In  iHll^htwaa^ 
succeeded  by  two  nephews,  Mr.  Jo' 
Richardson,  who  continued  the  butto 
under  the  Royal  Exchange,  and  died  AtigJ 
1840;  and  the  late  Mr.  James  Ma 
Richardson,  who  remained  in  the  abo 
opposite  the  Royal  Excbaage.  The  I 
neas,  under  Mr.  James  Richardson's  in.^ 
telligent  direction  aod  unwearied  habtta 
of  application,  rose  to  considerable  im- 
portance, aod  gave  birth  to  an  East  India 
counexion  to  which  the  retail  book-sbop 
formed  a  mere  ante- room. 

Mr.  Richardson  married  early  in  life, 
and  became  the  parent  of  a  numerous 
family.  Many  years  ago  he  fixed  his  re- 
sidence at  Greenwich,  where  his  libernliiy 
and  amiability  were  proverbial.  Hia  hubits 
were  peculiarly  simple.  He  rose  with  the 
early  dawn,  took  exercise  in  his  garden, 
and  was  off  to  business  befoee  many  of  hia 
houseboM  were  moving.  He  arrived  in 
town  at  eight,  took  biH  breakfast,  and  at 
nine  was  at  his  desk :  opened  aU  bis  Ut-

Mb  clerks.    Few  change*  were  perceptible 
in  his  establish ment.     Hii  servanU  con- 
ttaucd  ta  their  situatiotig,  and  his  nffection 
for  them  was  onlj  lecood  to  that  which 
be  entertained  totrards  his  own  family. 
On   hia   re  torn   to  Greenwich,  after  the 
ordinary  dutt<?s  of  the  day,  and  dlimiBttrng 
hia  family  with  prayer,  his  travelling  desk 
wag  opened,  and  he  frequently  sat  lill  after 
midnight  writing  to  numerous  correspond- 
ent«.    His  advice  wai  constantly  asked  by 
men  of  the  highest  Btandlog  in  India :  and 
the  children  consigned  from  tlie  East  to 
his  care  for  education  exceeded  his  own 
Ycry  numerous  family*     At  his  hospitable 
board  he  was  never  known  to  touch  wine 
or  malt  liquor  ;  but  he  always  kept  at  hi* 
elbow  a  decanter  of  clear  toast-aod- water 
to  perform  the  cordial  old  cnstom  of  drink- 
ing with  hia  gncsts.    His  charity  was  pro- 
fuftety  generous;   and  his  penetration  of 
daoracter  Bingularly  accurate.   Of  this  the 
following  was  a  very  retaarkable  instance, 
fiebg  desirous  to  establish  some  kdtes  in 
a  preparatory  school,  as  a  meaQs  for  their 
■uppurtf  he  did  not  rest  until  they  became 
to  prosperous  as  to  require  a  Latin  usher. 
This  want  he  supplied  in  the  person  of  a 
raw  but  intelligent  youth  from  the  Blue- 
coat  school.     The  boy,  not  liking  his  new 
duties,  suddenly  left  without  warning.    Mr* 
Richardson  on  reodving  this  information 
immediatety  went  in  pursoit,  inqniring  in 
every  quarter  where  there  was  a  chance  of 
bit  hearing  of  the  fugitive.     Amongst  the 
number   vica   a   wealthy    relative   of   the 
youth,  who,  on  learning  the  object  of  Mr, 
Kichardsou'a  visit,  abruptly  censured  him 
for  being  at  anv  trouble  about  ao  **  worth- 
less a  boy."    liis  reply  was  characteristic : 
'*  1  see  something  about  that  boy  which, 
by  God*s  providence,  I  wish  to  bring  out. 
He  is  no  common  boy,  and  find  him  I 
will.**     After  many  inauiries  he  did  find 
him^  took  him  to  his  house,  and,  after  a 
severe  lecture,  encouraged  him  to  return 
and  become  reconciled  to  his  duties,  with 
a  prombe  that  if  he  did  so  he  would  make 
&  man  of  him.    TTiis  promise  he  faithfully 
performed.     The  young  man  was  enabled 
to  go  to  the  university  of  Cambridge,  and 
keep  his  terms,  without  relinquishing  hia 
situation ;  and  that  runaway  boy  is  now  a 
bright  star  of  our  Church,  and  the  Rector 
of  one  of  the  largest  metropolitan  parishes. 
On  another  occasioDi  when  Mr,  Rich- 
ardson was  solicited  to  relieve  a  distressed 
and  aged  person,  who  in  early  days  he  had 
slightly  known,  but  who,  from  attending 
to  politics  rather  thnn  bis  business,  was 
reduced  with  his  wife  to  destitution,  a  re- 
lative interfered  with  the  suggestion  that 
so  improvident  a  person  was  unworthy  of 
assistance.   "  Hush,  hush !''  was  his  reply, 
'*  this  is  a  case  of  real  distress  :  let  ns  first 


relieve  It,  and  then  we  will  diicass  its 
merits,'*  Many  other  such  good  deeds 
might  be  cited ;  and  many  more  there  were 
which  were  known  only  to  **Him  that 
seetb  in  secret/* 

Though  a  member  of  the  Court  of  As- 
sistants of  the  Stationers'  Company,  Mr. 
Richardson  declined  serving  the  office  of 
Master,  judging  ihat  it  was  iucomputlblc 
with  the  regular  occupation  of  bis  time, 
which  we  have  already  described. 

At  hii  decease,  lis  children,  grand- 
children, and  great'grandcbildren,  num- 
bered from  seventy  to  eighty;  most  of 
whom  attended  at  his  grave  in  Old  CharU

who  through  life  loved  his  Muker  and  his 
tieighbours.

SepL  15,  1853.  At  Crediton,  aged  60, 
the  Rev.  Samuel  Rowe,  M.A.  Tlcar  of 
Crediion,  and  Perpetual  Carate  of  Post^ 
bury  St,  Luke. 

Mr,  Rowe  was  originally  a  bookseller 
at  Plymouth,  in  partnership  with  his  bro* 
ther;  but  having  a  desire  to  enter  the 
church  he  was  encouraged,  by  the  kind- 
ness of  his  friends,  who  raised  a  subaerip- 
tion  for  the  purpose,  to  rcpaii'  to  the  uni- 
versity of  Oxford,  at  a  later  age  than  is 
customary. 

He  became  a  member  of  Jesus  college, 
imd,  having  studied  herd,  he  gradtiated 
B.A.  182C,  M.A.  1853.  He  was  elected 
to  the  vicarage  of  Crediton,  by  the  twelve 
governor*  of  the  church,  in  the  year 
1835.  having  a  majority  of  two  votes  over 
the  Rev.  Charles  Gregory,  then  Curate  j 
and  at  the  same  time  was  presented  to 
the  neighbouring  chapel  of  St.  Luke's  at 
Poatbury  (also  in  Crediton  parish,)  which 
is  in  the  gift  of  J.  H,  Hippealey,  esq, 

Mr.  Rowe  was  the  author  of  a  guicJe^ 
book  entitled  a  ^*  Panorama  of  Plymouth,** 
published  we  beKere  when  he  was  a  book- 
seller. In  1848  he  produced  a  more  im- 
portant work,  eutitled  "  A  Perambulation 
in  the  ancient  and  royal  Forest  of  Bart- 
moor."     8vo, 

He  was  also  the  author  of  "  An  Appeal 
to  the  Rubric,  in  a  Review  of  the  several 
clauset»  of  the  Ritual  Code  :  with  sugges- 
tions for  general  uniformity  in  the  public 
services  of  the  United  Church  of  England 
and  Ireland,  IB41,**  Bwo.  t  and  of  a  Church 
Psalm  Book,  which  went  throogh  several 
editions. 

His  parishioners  at  Crediton  highly  ap- 
prt'ciaied  his  ministerial  services,  to  which 
he  was  deeply  devoted,  Ol  foreign  mis- 
sions he  was  a  lealous  and  warm-hearted 
advocate.  In  1B42  Uis  name  was  an- 
nounced as  likely  to  be  appointed  to  the 
bighoprick  of  Barbados.

M.  VlSCONTI. 

Dee.  29.  At  PariB^  in  hifi  57th  year, 
M.  Louis  Joaf:tumi  Viseontit  Member  of 
the  Institute,  President  of  the  Soci*5m*  dea 
Architecte«,  and  an  officer  of  the  Legion 
of  Honour. 

M.  Viiconti  was  bom  in  Rome,  where 
Mb  father,  Etiniua  Quirinua  Vificontif  a 
learned  antiquary «  and  a  man  of  great  ta^itc 
in  matter*  of  Art,  was  director  of  the 
Mti8et>  Pit!  Clemeotiiio.  When  the  armies 
of  tbe  French  Republic  infaded  Italy  and 
stripped  tbe  country  of  its  richest  treasures, 
at  tbe  end  of  tlie  last  century^  tbe  elder 
Viaconti,  witb  his  family,  followed  them  to 
Paris,  where,  on  the  rc-orgnntiation  of  tbe 
Institute,  ia  IHOO,  he  was  nominated 
uiember  of  tlie  first  class  in  tbe  depart^ 
meat  of  the  Beaux  Arts.  He  died  in  1918, 
after  a  life  laboriously  and  zealously  passed 
in  aiiiiquarian  pursuits. 

The  son  was  placed  under  the  ttiition  of 
the  eminent  architect  Percicr,  and  whitat 
in  hia  pupilage  he  recciTcd  five  medals  at 
the  School  of  Architectare,  in  addition  to 
the  Department  prize  in  19M,  and  the 
second  pri^e  for  the  plan  of  a  library. 
When  twenty-six  years  old  he  left  TEcole 
dcB  Beaux- Art«,  and  was  employed  for  some 
lime  aa  an  Inspector  of  Public  Buildings. 
He  then  becamt^  architect- surveyor  of  the 
third  aod  eighth  arrondissementu,  tbe 
duties  of  which  office  he  performed  for 
twenty- two  years.  In  1R25  he  was  ap- 
pointed architect  of  the  Grande  Biblio- 
th^que;  and^  returning  to  those  studies 
which  had  witnessed  hia  earliest  succeases, 
he  devised  no  lesa  than  twenty-nine  plana 
for  making  that  ediUce  in  harmony  witb 
its  importance.  At  one  time  he  thought 
that  he  should  be  at  last  entrusted  with 
the  fulfilment  of  that  noble  task.  That 
hope,  though  dispelled  then,  bod  been  re- 
TiTcd  of  late  years,  and  he  had  it  still  tkt 
bevt  aa  much  aa  ever;  because  there,  at 
leaat,  in  an  independent  de&ign,  he  would 
have  been  able  to  inacribc  his  tboughta^  to 
display  bis  invention  and  his  taste  iiQ- 
ahackled ;  whereas,  in  the  completion  of 
the  Louvre,  he  was  obliged  to  bring  htm< 
self  down  to  tbe  levt'l  of  general!  data  auti 
to  adopt  even  the  details  devised  by  otheis. 
Death  has  hindered  him  from  seeing  tlie 
completion  of  tbe  Louvre,  but  the  plan 
12 


which  he  has  traced  will  be  followed.  Tbe 
works  were  commenced  in  July,  1852 ;  all 
the  parts  of  this  vast  structure  are  now 
above  ground,  atid  that  portion  of  it  which 
runs  along  the  Rue  de  Rivoli,  with  ita 
facade  at  right  ungles,  i«  already  com- 
pleted to  itd  full  height.  Tbe  plan  of  M. 
Visconti  has  the  merit  of  simplicity  in  a 
matter  which  baa  given  birth  to  many  ex- 
triTtgant  projects.  Ho  baa  succeeded  in 
concealing  the  difference  of  level  between 
the  two  corridors.  In  remedying  the  de- 
fect of  parallelism  between  the  two  palacei, 
it  can  hardly  be  expected  that  tbe  same 
snccess  will  be  attained. 

Among  tbe  great  works  with  which  the 
name  of  M,  Yiaconti  baa  been  associated, 
the  tomb  of  Napoleon  stands  most  promi- 
nent. Tbe  grants  advanced  to  tbe  archi* 
tect  during  the  performance  of  this  task 
provoked  the  attention  of  those  m embers 
of  the  Chamber  who  arc  accustomed  to 
maintain  the  credit  of  France  in  diacos* 
sions  on  the  Budget.  As  a  corering  tor 
the  coffin  Yisconti  procured  &om  Finland 
an  enormous  block  of  porphyry,  of  which 
the  French  savanM  could  not  tell  tbe  name. 
Many  persons  took  paios  to  show  that  hr 
finer  »tone  for  tbe  purpose  could  have 
been  obtained  in  France  at  much  lets 
trouble  and  expense.  But,  although  pro- 
tracted by  such  opposition,  the  work  wti 
accomplished  at  last. 

M.  Visconti  was  aleo  the  architect  of 
various  funeral  monuments  to  generals  of 
the  Empire.  For  example: — those  of 
Marshals  Lauriaton,  Saint  Cyr,  Suchet, 
Soult,  &c.  In  temporary  structures  erected 
for  public  f^tes,  his  marvellous  fertility  of 
invention  was  a  constant  subject  of  admi- 
ration. His  faculty  of  conception  and  his 
great  activity  enabled  him  to  accomplish 
all  those  public  works,  without  neglecting 
those  of  hia  numerous  patrons.  Number- 
less hotels  and  palaces  were  constructed 
from  hia  plans.  Among  tbe  various  monu- 
ments raised  by  him  at  Paris,  those  which 
attract  most  attention  by  their  eleguicCt 
and  which  will  be  preserved  as  the  best 
proof  of  his  taste  and  the  versatility  of  his 
talents,  are  the  three  fountains — GaiUoa^ 
Molii'^re,  and  De  la  Place  Louvoia,  In  the 
fountain  In  the  square  of  Saint  Snlpioe, 
tbe  nble  architect  seems  to  have  been  less 
happily  inspired,  and  not  to  have  im- 
pressed upon  the  work  that  character  of 
majesty  and  dignity  which  the  monument 
of  Servandoni  deserved. 

M.  Viaronti  waa  a  member  of  many  ficK 
reign  learned  and  artistic  societies.  At  the 
Institute  he  belonged  to  the  section  of 
Architecture,  which  consisted  of  only  eight 
mcmbersj  five  of  whom  died  in  1353.  Vis- 
conti was  seized,  on  the  29th  of  December,

Atitoine  Augustin  R^nouard,  the  emiaent 
bibliographer. 

M.  R^nouardwaa  born  iit  Paris  in  1 7  lib'. 
He  was  originally  a  manufacturer  of  gauze 
in  that  city ;  and  whilst  so  occupied  he 
wrote  and  published  in  17^)  '*  Retiexions 
ftur  lea  fabriquea  natioaales  et  sur  celles

la  Oct.  179^  he  rendered  his  first  great 
aervice  to  Itti^rature.  The  insane  hostility 
towards  every  inanimate  souvenir  of  former 
times  which  then  infected  the  French 
Government  had  brought  tliem  to  the 
opinion  that  it  was  a  scandalous  thing  to 
offend  any  longer  the  eyes  of  good  Re-

publicans  by  the  many  ahameful  marks  of 
former  servitude  that  remained  in  the 
public  bbraries  of  Paris  and  the  depart* 
meiit^.  It  was  consequently  deenned  ne- 
cessary  to  change  the  binding  of  all  books 
bearing  arms  or  fleurs-de-lis,  to  remove 
armorial  engravings,  and  all  dedications  to 
kings  or  princes ;  and  in  s^hort  to  mutilate 
mo«t  thoroughly  some  of  the  finest  literary 
monuments.  M.  Renousrd,  having  timely 
warning  of  the  coming  storm,  determined 
if  possible  to  arrest  it :  and  immediately 
penned  a  remone^trance,  which  (his  friends 
MM«  Arm.  Charlemagne  and  Charditi 
having  coosented  to  add  their  signatures,) 
was  printed  under  the  title  of  '^  Observa- 
tions dc  quelques  patriotes  sur  la  nj^eessite 
de  conserverles  monuments  detalitterature 
et  des  arts/^  In  the  course  of  twenty- 
four  hours  these  observations  were  printed 
at  the  press  of  M.  Didot,  and  circulated 
to  every  public  establishment  of  Paris  and 
to  each  of  the  members  of  the  Conven- 
tion. This  measure t  which  ttiigbt  have 
cost  the  three  patriots  their  he«ds,  pro- 
duced an  unhoped-for  effect,  and  on  the 
motion  of  Thibaut  and  Chenier,  the  paper 
was  referred  to  the  Comite  d'lnatfuction 
Publiqne;  and  happily  it  converted  the 
mania  of  deatruetion  into  a  ps-ssiou  for 
preserving  and  collecting.  Not  content 
with  his  immediate  iuece^s,  M.  R^nouard, 
fearful  least  the  conservati? e  decree  should 
make  too  tardy  a  circulation  in  the  pro- 
vinces, bad  it  printed  at  hta  own  cost,  and 
was  thus  the  means  of  arresting  many  an 
act  of  vandulism. 

It  was  shortly  after  this  period  that  be 
became  a  bookseller.  In  that  profession 
he  was  eratntDt  both  as  a  dealer  in  old 
books  and  as  a  publisher.  He  commenced 
his  publications  iu  1794  by  editing  "  Au- 
doeni  Epigrammatn  "  in  two  volumes 
l^mo.  In  1795  be  published  *'  Lucani 
Pharsalia*'  in  folio;  and  commenced  a 
series  of  Latin  classics  which  when  oom- 
nleted  formed  thirty  volumci  iu  octavo. 
He  afterwards  produced  various  editions 
of  some  of  the  best  French  authors,  as 
Berquin  (in  20  vol*.  8vo.),  PsacaU  Mag-

His  bibliogrftphical  lahours  commenced 
as  early  as  1795,  when  he  produced  a 
**  Catalogue  des  livres  imprim^es  par

In  1803  appeared,  in  two  volumes  8vo. 
the  first  edition  of  his  "  Annales  de  Plm-

of  the  press  of  the  three  celebrated  printers 
who  successively  bore  the  name  of  Maau-

added  a  Supplement  in  lB12i  which  was 
superseded  by  a  second  edition  of  the

1854.]     Obitdary. —  Tommttso  Grom.'^Giamhaituia  Rubini    547 

Austm  ha*  no  ppnul  settlements ;  its  Go- 
ve mmcDt  avoidi,  a^  tnticb  at  potfiible,  in- 
flicting the  puoliihiiiient  of  death,  and,  con- 
icquently,  with  part  of  lt»  population  ever 
about  to  be  m? urgent,  it  ii  obliged  to  in- 
crease the  pains  and  terrors  of  incarcera- 
tion. Peliico  wa*  a  lamentable  victim  of 
thtfl  sjstem ;  his  long  seclasion  and  suffer- 
inga  within  the  dread  walls  of  Spielbarg, 
away  from  his  parents,  and  brothers  and 
sisters,  whom  he  lo?ed  so  dearly,  would, 
In  any  accouat,  have  excited  feelings  of  tbe 
deepejjt  comtriisemtion  *  but  his  own  na- 
rative  has  proclaimed  liia  protracted  agony 
to  the  world  with  appalling  and  undying 
effect.  **  Mie  Prigioot  "  has  been  trans- 
lated  into  eTery  langxiage  of  Europe.  The 
traaalation  iolo  English,  by  Roscoe^  was 
published  in  London  1932. 

Peliico  regained  his  freedom  in  Aug.  1830, 
hy  the  amnesty  then  extended  to  political 
offenders.  On  his  release  he  settled  in 
Turin,  and  had  been  almost  ever  since  em* 
ployed  OS  librarian  in  the  house  of  the  Mar> 
chesa  Barolo  ;  to  whom  it  was  said  a  year 
or  two  since  that  he  wab  married — a  report 
which  the  poet  indignantly  denied  as  ca- 
lumnious to  the  cbanicter  of  the  lady. 
Daring  his  residence  in  Piedmont  be  had 
the  satisfBction  of  receiving  two  tokens  of 
homage^the  first  was  the  dedication  to 
him  by  Gioberti  of  hi  a  great  work  on 
Italy,  at  "  the  first  of  Italian  patriots,'*  and 
the  other,  the  decoration  of  St.  Maurice. 

Of  genius  the  most  highly  gifted,  of  dis- 
position gentle  and  benevolent  in  the  ex> 
trcmcp  aiTiible,  virtuous,  and  honourable, 
Silvio  Pcllico  was  the  delight  and  charm  of 
all  who  knew  bim.  Sad  tt  is  to  think  that 
such  a  man  should  have  been  tbe  subjeet 
of  sach  snffe rings  and  sorrow. 


TOMMASO  GrOBIsI. 

Dec,  10,  ^  At  Florence,  aged  6&,  Tora- 
maso  Grosai,  the  poet. 

Next  to  Manzoni,  Grossi  was  ranked  as 
the  most  distinguished  anthor  of  modem 
Italy.  Ilia  principal  works  are  "  The 
Lombards  at  the  Ptrat  Crusade/'  and 
'^  Marco  Visconti,'*  of  which  an  English 
tranBlation  was  published  In  London,  in 
Iwo  vols.  12mo.  1845.  He  also  wrote 
**  La  Pioggia  d'Oro  et  la  Fuggitive,** 
poems  in  the  Milanese  dialect.  1822. 
i2mo. 

After  attaining  great  poetical  distimi- 
tlon,  he  adopted  the  somewhat  nncongc- 
nial  calling  of  a  notary,  and  in  that  capa* 
city,  in  the  year  1848,  he  had  the  satisfac- 
tion of  drawing  up  the  deed  by  which — 
thoagh  nnfortunateW  only  for  a  short 
time— a  union  was  effected  between  Lom- 
hardy  and  Piedmont.  He  did  not,  how- 
ever, take  any  very  active  interest  in 
pcUdcfl. 


Orossi  was  the  Intimate  friend  of  Man- 
xoni  and  of  Massimo  d*Azeglio,  and  was 
as  mach  beloved  for  the  suavity  of  hU  dis- 
]xi9ition  and  agreeable  manners  as  ad* 
mired  for  his  literary  talents. 

GlAMDATTrSTA.  RuBINI. 

March  2.  At  Romano,  in  the  province 
of  BcrgamOf  in  his  59th  year*  Signor 
Giambattista  Ruhini,  once  the  greatest  of 
tenor  singers. 

Rubini  was  born  on  the  7th  of  April, 
1795.  His  father  was  a  professional  mti- 
siciao  and  teacher  of  muste.  He  oom- 
menced  his  musical  career  by  playing  the 
violin  in  tbe  church  of  Romano,  and  was 
pronounced  not  to  possess  the  qonlities 
requisite  for  a  singer,  by  a  ccrtiiin  *'  Don 
Santo,  priest  and  orgsnist,  of  Adro,  near 
Brescia,"  in  whose  hands  he  was  placed 
for  instruction.  His  father,  however,  did 
not  accept  this  sentence  t  he  contrived  in 
some  meaanre  to  teach  the  boy  himself, 
and  brought  him  out  at  the  age  of  twelve, 
like  the  Kynastons  of  Shakspere'a  stage, 
in  a  female  part. 

In  IBi5  he  was  engaged  at  Naples,  at  a 
modest  salary,  and  his  reputation  continued 
to  increase  until  he  went  to  Paris  in  1^25. 
There  he  obtained  triumphant  succe^i  in 
the  Cencrentola,  Donna  del  Lago,  Gazsa 
Ladra,  and  Otello  •  and  in  a  short  time 
after  be  became  the  acknowledged  '*  King 
of  Tenors  "  not  only  in  Paris,  but  at  Lon- 
don, St.  Petersburg,  and  in  other  parts  of 
Europe.  His  brightest  years  were  those 
divided  between  London  and  Paris,  when 
he  formed  one  of  the  quartett  with  Madame 
Grisl,  Signori  Lablai^be  and  Tamburini; 
bis  most  lucrative  professional  days  were 
possibly  those  last  ones  spent  in  St.  Peters- 
burg, where  the  Czar,  to  do  bim  honour, 
made  him  Colonel  of  a  regiment.  For 
several  years  preceding  1831  he  received 
only  comparatively  small  portions  of  bis 
eamings^ — the  remainder  going  to  an  Ita- 
lian speculator,  who  had,  so  to  speak, 
leased  him  for  a  certain  period  at  a  fized 
rate ;  but  of  late  years  his  receipts  averaged 
8dt>l>f-  per  annum.  Being  of  a  very  par- 
simonious habit,  he  has  left  behind  him  a 
fortune  eatimatcd  at  1>0,000/. 

How  great  an  artist  he  was  it  is  difficult 
Lo  convey  in  a  few  words,  and  this  not  only 
because  his  greatness  belonged  to  the  ope- 
ratic style  of  a  past  generation,  hut  because 
it  was  accompanied  by  certain  qnaliites 
which  the  changed  taste  of  onr  day  pro- 
tests against  (and  not  unfairly)  as  bo  many 
defects.  He  was  one  of  the  most  accom- 
plished vocalists  ever  heard,  the  instinct 
for  singing  having  been  in  his  coj^e  per- 
fected by  coTLsummate  study  and  practice 
of  the  art.  Uis  production  of  tone,  his 
management  of  breath,   his  unhesitating

Qt piano  with  /orie  arc  to  be  dated  from 
the  time  when  he  could  no  longer  com-

boutidlew  in  accomplishment,  Kubini  was 
impg»cbBble  iti  point  tif  ianU\  His  love 
of  ornnment  was  frciiucntly  more  romark-

were  ulonoat  repftlaivc ;  but  the  artist  could 
alwayi  faaGinate  his  audience  back  into 
good  humour 

Again,  when  undertaking  an  opera, 
Rabini  seemed  unablis  to  study  bb  part 
aa  a  whole,  but  reserved  hiinwlf  for  a  few 
points,  such  as  a  captttina,  a  burtit  in  a 
Jinaht  or  the  like  ;  tn  this  inferior  to  Du- 
prcx^  who,  though  linishin^  highly  alito, 
w*a  always  en  i^  ♦wf ,  in  one  act  preparing 
for  the  next,  and  linking  pnasnge  to  puiaage

UOi verbal  popularity  explains  the  well- 
known  reply  of  Madninc  Mara,  who,  to

bit  idolators  were  fain  to  content  them-

almoraiouii  love  of  money,  fiuch  as  is  not 
the  rule  among  the  opera  queens  and  kings 
of  Italy. 

He  married,  many  years  ago,  Mdlle.

From  the  tine  of  art  purjued  by  tkis 
gen (k* man  it  might  be  supposed  that  be 
wa^  of  tbc  same  feunily  as  Kdward  and 
Silvester  H*irdinp;,  formerly  of  Pail  Mnllp 
the  publishers  of  the  Illuitrationa  of 
Shakespeare,  and  of  the  Utograpbicai 
Mirrour,  a  series  of  portrnits,  accom- 
panted  v>itb  memoirft,  which  appeared  in 
the  years  1 7[»5.1^03.  In  tlie  third  volume 
of  the  latter  work  we  liud  one  plate 
etched  by  G.  P.  Harding— that  of  Esther 
Inglis,  published  in  the  year  1801 ;  bui« 
from  inquiries  made  in  various  quartervt 
we  are  inclined  to  believe  that  he  was  no 
relation  to  the  publisberi. 

During  the  greater  part  of  hia  life 
Mr.  George  Perfect  Harding  waa  engaged 
in  copying  ancient  portraits  in  water* 
colours,  in  which  pursuit  he  visited  many 
of  the  principal  mantilons  of  the  no* 
bility,  a£  Wobuni,  Althoip,  Costlc  Ash  by, 
Gorbambury,  Hatfield,  Ca^lnobury,  Cob*

public  galleries,  the  royal  palacea,  the  col-

City  companies,  he,  &c.  His  ai

only  partlttl  copies  of  their  originals,  tbe

being  slighted!,  from  an  tncliimtioti  to  coo*

Tcry  often  a  whole-leugth  hns  been  re- 
duceti  to  a  half-length,  or  to  a  mere  head. 
In  this  reapect  Harding  directlj  differed 
froin  his  namesnke  (but  altio  no  relation) 
Harding  the  book  seller,  who  published 
that  great  book,  so  niogaificecit  in  its  ori- 
ginal form,  and  »o  largely  succeasfnl  be- 
yond it»  intrinsic  mcritH — Lodge'it  lllua- 
triouB  Portraits.  At  an  early  itage  of  tbis 
woi  k  tberc  was  a  negociation  between  the 
two  Hnrdings  for  the  supply  of  lubjccta, 
but  it  came  to  no  cfTcctf  partly,  in  all 
probability,  because  the  pnblisber,  who 
Ti-as  not  liberal,  would  not  accede  to  the 
artists*  terms,  but  partly  also,  as  Mr,  G, 
P.  Harding  assured  ns^  becanae  the  ortiat 
would  not  submit  to  the  mutilation  of  the 
ptcttires  required  by  the  publisher,  who 
chose  that  all  the  sub]ecta  should  be 
brought  to  a  nearly  uniform  scale,  and  cou- 
aequeutly,  if  whole -length ft,  be  shorn  of 
some  of  their  most  interesting  f«itured. 

In  the  year  1«40  Ibe  success  of  the 
Camden  Society  anil  of  others  for  the  pro- 
duction of  curious  books  upon  the  prin- 
ciple of  joint-stock  subscription, sug^ea  ted 
the  formation  of  a  similar  association  for 
the  tuukipltcation  of  EDglith  Historical 
Portraits ;  atad  it  was  established  under 
the  name  of  the  Graogcr  Society,  in  allu- 
sion to  the  author  of  the  Biographical 
Hiatory  of  England.  The  substance  of 
Its  first  prospectus  will  be  found  in  our 
Magazine  for  Nov.  1840.  The  collection 
of  copiea  already  made  by  Mr.  Harding 
offered  materialii  for  some  years  to  come. 
There  was,  however,  some  roisaiinage- 
ment  in  the  conduct  of  this  scheme.  Some 
difficuJtiesj  we  imagine,  arose  from  Hard- 
mg  himself,  who  was  inclined  to  assume 
thai  the  society  was  to  deal  ^  ith  himself 
alone.  But  the  great  error,  we  think,  waa 
that  tlic  Council  submitted  to  his  tugges^ 
lion  of  engraving  all  their  productions 
'*  in  the  best  style  of  art^^'  and  conse- 
quently  at  a  high  rate  of  cost,  instead  of 
at  the  same  time  commencing  a  secondary 
aeries  of  printa  of  an  inferior  class,  but  in 
the  collector's  phrajie  *'  useful^*  for  histo- 
ric£tl  illustration,  which  would  have  gra- 
ti6i-d  the  members  with  a  return  propor- 
tioufd  to  their  subscriptions.  The  tJrauger 
Society  aubsLHtcd  for  little  more  than  two 
years,  and  produced  some  very  interesting 
prints,  which  were  excellently  engraved  by 
Messrs.  W.  Greatbach  and  Joseph  Brown. 

Upon  its  cessation  Bfr.  Harding  pur- 
sued the  same  plan  by  private  sab^erip' 
tion,  which  he  continued  for  about  fire 
years,  at  one  pound  per  annum.  In  this 
way  be  produced  fifteen  more  portraits, 


which  are  also  engraved  by  Messrs. 
Greatbach  and  Brown,  and  the  plates  of 
which  arc  now  the  property  of  Mr.  Hoi- 
loway,  of  Bedford-street,  Covcnt  Garden. 

Besides  these  publications,  Mr.  Harding 
furnished  the  portraits  to  some  of  the 
most  imjiortivnt  works  of  historical  biogra- 
phy, such  as  those  by  Mr.  Jesse,  &c. 

One  of  bis  series  (at  an  earlier  period) 
was  that  of  the  Deans  of  Westminster, 
collected  to  accompany  their  memoira 
in  Nealc  and  Brayley's  History  of  Wc«t- 
min.'^ter  Abbey,  1822-3 :  and  consisting 
of  eighteen  plates.  The  portrait  of  the 
actual  dean,  Dr.  Ireland,  was  drawn  from 
the  life  by  Mr.  Harding  :  and  he  engraved 
that  derived  from  the  monumental  brass 
of  Dean  Bill.  The  remainder  were  exe- 
cuted by  at  her  artists. 

Shortly  after,  he  delineated  the  ancient 
oil-paintings  and  all  the  fscpulchral  brasses 
remaining  in  West  minster  Abbey,  and 
published  tbem  in  1R?5,  as  a  sequel  to  the 
work  just  mentioned^  with  descriptions 
written  by  the  late  Mr.  Thomas  Moule, 
F.S.A. 

To  that  gentleman  he  was  again  indebted 
for  tlie  memoirs  which  accompany  hta 
series  of  historical  portraits  \  and  also 
for  the  heraldic  embellishments  which 
adorn  a  manuscript  book  on  the  Princes 
of  Walc«,  of  which  he  printed  a  descrip- 
tion in  182B,  Svo.  (and  twelte  copies  in 
quarto),  and  which  wns  subsequently  pur- 
chased by  her  Majesty , 

For  some  years  Mr.  Hardiug  was  a 
Fellow  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries,  hut 
be  retired  in  consequence  of  reduced 
means.  At  an  advanced  period  of  life  he 
married  a  young  womiau,  and  had  a  nume- 
rous family.  From  his  pricca  bein(?  high, 
and  hie  patrons  in  a  great  degree  supplied 
with  his  productiont,  his  drawings  had 
accumulated  upon  his  hands,  and  his 
chief  resource  in  his  latter  years  was  the 
forced  sale  of  a  portion  of  his  stock  by 
auction.  We  remember  one  if  not  more 
of  these  sales  at  Chriatie's,  and  two  by 
Messrs.  SoLbeby  and  Wilkinson.  The 
last  was  only  a  few  months  before  his 
death,  and  we  believe  it  made  a  final  clear* 
snee  of  the  artist's  productions.  One  of 
his  most  highly  finished  works,  a  copy  of 
the  great  picture  of  the  Clifford  family  at 
Skipton  Castle  (which  is  very  indifiereatlr 
cngrarcd  in  Whitaker's  History  of  Craven) 
was  sold  to  W.  D.  Christie,  esq.  (formerly 
M.P.  for  Weymouth),  for  2H. 

There  is  a  small  portrait  of  Mr.  Hard- 
ing, engraved  by  Mr.  Joseph  Brown,  from 
a  likeness  painted  by  himself  in  1B26.

Obituary. — Capinin  Warner* 


[Mtf, 


commonly'  called  *' Captain  War- 

w«U' known  for  bb  boasted  infen- 
tiofM  of  certain  warlike  projecttlet,  and  of 
♦'the  long  range,'* 

Mr.  Warner  wa«,  we  betjefe»  a  native 
of  Kent,  the  aon  of  WiUiiin  Warner, 
maater  maricter.  Accordinji  to  his  own 
atorj,  bia  father  waa  m niter  of  the 
Nautiloi,  a  vewel  which  for  about  four 
yean  was  hired  by  the  Secretary  of 
SUtCj  apd  empbyed  under  Lord  Caaile- 
retf  h  10  landiog  ipiea :  and  when  so  eo* 
gifedi  towardt  the  end  of  the  war,  Cap- 
tarn  Wtroer  (aa  he  anerted)  sank  two 
pHTateer*  by  hia  "iovitible  ihelU,"  one 
off  Fotkestonep  and  the  other  lu  SL  Valery 
Hay.  Thia  ttory  bus  been  regarded  as 
bearing  ?ery  much  of  a  Munchansen  com- 
pleiioDr  ioasmnch  aa  these  achieTemeots, 
if  they  took  place »  were  kqit  perfectly 
neorvt  at  the  time.  Beaidea,  no  trace 
could  be  found  of  the  gofemm<*nt  ba?ing 
hired  any  such  vessel.  MorcoTer,  in  the 
▼ery  aame  breath »  when  examined  by  a 
oommisnion  in  ld47»  Captain  Warner 
alated  that  he  had  »atts6ed  himself  of  the 
power*  of  hit  invisible  shells  for  about 
iwcntv-seven  or  twenty-eight  years,  which 
would  go  back  only  to  the  year  1319  at 
furthest. 

His  inrention  of  the  Long  Range  he 
pUced  abnut  twelve  yean  before  the  time 
of  his  examination, — that  li,  in  IS 35. 

Om  the  Bth  February,  18-11,  an  eiperi- 
ment  uf  his  Bheli  was  made  in  the  grounds 
of  Mr.  Hoyd,.  in  Essex*  in  the  presence  of 
Sir  Robert  Peel,  Sir  George  Murray,  Sir 
Henry  liardmge.  Sir  Francia  Hurdctt, 
Viacotiut  Ingeitre,  Colonel  Gurwood^  and 
others.  A  large  boat  twenty -three  feet 
long,  which  had  been  lilled  in  with  solid 
timber,  was  suddenly  struck  as  with  light - 
ningi  and  scattered  into  a  thousand  frag- 
ments. 

On  the  24th  July^  l^^i,  a  more  puhtio 
exhibiUoii  of  this  wonderful  invention 
came  oif  b^rure  Brighton.  On  this  occa- 
aton  the  whole  population  of  that  large 
town  was  gathered  along  the  beach.  The 
ship  destined  for  destruction  was  the  John 
o*  Gannt,  of  30€  tona  measurement,  given 
for  the  purpose  by  Messrs.  Soamei.  She 
wa»  towed  from  Shoreham  to  a  point 
nearly  opposite  the  Fort,  from  whonoe  a 
l4plil,  was  given  I  and  immediately  the 
fMwl  fras  seen  t^  turn  on  its  side,  a 
it  ream  of  w  titer  and  i>>moke  to  issue  from 
i|»  hiild,  Hnd  it4  maats  to  fall  oflff  when  it 
fostaiitly  wunt  duwn.  Its  parts  were  sub- 
s«i|neuUy  washed  on  shore,  and  it  was 
found  to  hnve  been  nearly  cut  in  two. 
Mr,  Wurncr  profeased  to  have  discharged 
hii  missile  from  the  steamer  which  towed 

•  ship.  The  experiment,  however,  wia 
oonaidcr^d  s/Uiafactoryj  inaamtich  as 


the  intended  nettm  had  been  in  the  hands 
of  his  own  men,  and  nobody  coald  be  sure 
bow  far  it  had  not  been  prepared  fur  the 
catastrophe. 

Some  three  years  before  thU  ieeond  €Z* 
periment  took  place  the  inyeotloo  lta4 
been  inve«tigated  by  a  commUeion  ap* 
pointed  by  Government-  ami  rnntlsthig 
of  Sir  Howard  Dougia*,  '  u 

Colonel  Chaloner, and Cij  -u 

had  promouDoed  decidedly  ogaiu^t  U  ^  and 
when  Captain  Warner  claimed  tlic  gcK>4 
opinion  of  Admiral  ^ir  Edward  Owen, 
then  absent  in  the  Mediterranean,  the 
latter,  on  hearing  of  his  a**prf».if>  v^mt^ 
to  say  that  there  was  no  dilfi  r  i- 

nion  between   himself  and    ^  i  I 

Douglas,  but  that  the  propoailiun  al  Mr. 
Warner  "appeared  to  him  to  contain 
nothing  more  than  an  onusnal  ahare  of 
the  most  barefaced  charlatanerie.'"  In  a 
speech  made  in  the  House  of  Commons  oa 
th(!  25th  June,  1947,  Sir  Howard  DongUf 
described  the  destruction  of  the  Jobn 
o^  Gaunt  aa  "  a  trick  of  tlic  ^m«  class  u 
the  btowiDg-op  of  the  punt  on  the  fiab- 
tK>ndp  whicn  consisted  merely  of  sheila 
sunk  and  anchored  under  the  water,  and  1 
long  rope  attached  to  the  punt,  which  at 
a  ngnal  given  was  drawn  by  a  team  of 
horsea,  and  which  on  striking  the  compo* 
lition  blew  ap  the  vetsel.  The  dettrtictiou 
of  the  John  o'  Gaunt  was  just  the  same« 
except  that  a  steamer  was  employed  in 
stead  of  the  team  of  horses.** 

Sir  Howard  Douglas  took  the  oppoi 
nity  to  make  this  statement  in  the  con; 
of  an  explanation  which  be  gave  of  ~ 
Warner's  **  long  range.''  Thi^,  in  fi 
was  no  range  at  all,  but  an  operation  to 
conducted  by  monster  balloous.  W^e  have 
not  space  here  to  enter  into  the  detaili ; 
but  they  will  be  found  in  an  article  on 
**  Captain  Warner's  Inventions,'*  bjr  tht 
Editor  of  the  United  Service  Magaxint, 
published  in  that  periodical  for  June  l'^^2^ 
At  the  latter  period  Captain  Warner'a 
patron,  Earl  Tdlbot,  who  had  twice  when 
Lord  Ingestrc  brought  hia  claims  before  the 
Houiie  of  Commons,  had  recently  moved 
in  the  House  uf  Lonls  for  a  committee  of 
inquiry  iuto  the  efficacy  of  the  alleged  new 
projectile.  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  add 
that  ihii  effort  proved  as  abortive  aa  the 
forme r»  Lord  Monteaglo  brought  forward 
a  letter  from  Sir  Robert  Peel,  written  on 
reading  Sir  Howard  Douglas's  speech,  in 
which  he  remarked,  **  I  did  tiot  require 
such  a  demoQstration  of  the  cbailatanerie 
of  Mr.  W^amer.  I  deeply  regret  that  bo

MINOR  CORRESPONDENCE. 


The  Rev.  G.  C.  Gorham  will  be  obliged 
to  any  one  who  can  inform  him  whether 
there  are  existing  any  descendants  of  Dr. 
Joseph  Hall,  Bishop  of  Exeter,  and 
afterwards  of  Norwich.     He  would  also  be 

flad  of  any  genealogical  notices  of  the 
(ishop's  family  ;  or  references  to  thtm  if 
any  such  have  been  published. 

In  the  genealogical  publications  of  Mr. 
Burke,  now  Ulster  King  of  Arms,  there 
are  doubtless  many  foolish  things,  which 
have  been  supplied  by  vain  and  credulous 
correspondents,  whose  contributions  the 
Editor  did  not  care,  or  did  not  ventare, 
to  prune :  but  we  think  few  will  be  found 
which  can  equal  in  absurdity  one  that  has 
been  pointed  out  to  us  by  Wilton ikn sis. 
In  Burke's  Heraldic  Illustrations,  Supple- 
ment, Plate  IX.  is  a  print  professing  to 
represent  the  coat  of  Charles  John  Long- 
croft,  esq.  of  Havant :  and  it  is,  in  fact, 
the  coat  of  Long,  of  Wiltshire  I  To  justify 
this  it  is  pretended  that  the  family  of 
Longcroft  is  descended  from  **  a  younger 
son"  of  Sir  Robert  Long,  M.P.  for 
Wilts  in  12  Hen.  VI.  and  that,  having 
married  an  heiretaqf  Croft,  they  ehangid 
their  name  to  Longerq/if  It  is  next 
stated  that  these  Longcrofts  were  seated  at 
Long  Croft,  co.  Stafford,  until  the  5  Elix. 
and  finally  that  they  reverted  to  Wiltshire, 
and  were  fixed  at  *'  Willeford,"  meaning 
we  presume  Wilsford,  in  that  county. 
The  facts  are  :  1.  That  Sir  Robert  Long, 
M.P.  for  Wills,  was  simply  Robert  Long, 
esquire,  as  appears  in  Burke*M  Commoners, 
iii.  212  ;  2.  His  only  younger  son  was  the 
eventual  continuator  of  the  1  ine  of  Wraxhall 
— that  is,  bis  son  Thomas,  through  him, 
became  the  heir  to  his  uncle  Henry,  and 
grandfather  Robert ;  3.  No  such  marriage 
of  Croft  was  ever  heard  of  before  ;  4.  On 
referring  to  Shaw's  Staffordshire,  i.  102, 
under  Longcroft,  not  a  syllable  appears 
of  any  such  family ;  S.  In  Sir  Bernard 
Burke's  own  Armoury  the  only  Longcrofts 
noticed  are  a  Worcestershire  family,  with 
an  entirely  different  coat ! 

The  ring  given  by  King  Charles  the 
First  to  Sir  Philip  Warwick  (noticed  in 
p.  450)  was  in  the  possession  of  Sir 
Stephen  Fox's  descendant,  the  kite  Earl 
of  Ilchcster,  but  was  stolen  from  his  Lord- 
ship's house  in  Old  Burlington  Street 
about  70  years  ago,  together  with  some 
other  articles  of  interest.  A  golden  knee- 
buckle  worn  by  the  king  on  the  scaffold, 
and  also  given  to  Sir  Philip  Warwick,  and 
by  him  to  Sir  Stephen  Fox,  is  still  pre- 
served at  Melbury.  T. 

The  portrait  of  John  Hales,  Founder  qf 

'  ^Vffe  School  at  Coventry,  sold  among 
Hctam  at  Aihby  Lodge  (as  noticed 


in  our  last  number,  p.  493),  was  purchased 
by  Henry  Butterwortb,  Esq.  F.S.A.,  of 
Fleet  Street,  who  is  a  native  of  Coventry, 
and,  ".some  sixty  years  since,"  was  a 
scholar  on  John  Hales' s  foundation.  The 
picture  is  on  panel,  and  bears  the  date  1554, 
the  very  year  in  which  Holbein  died  in 
London;  it  must  be  regarded,  therefore, 
as  one  of  his  latest  works.  We  much  re- 
joice in  learning  its  present  custody ;  and 
the  more  so,  because  we  have  reason  to 
suppose  that  it  is  Mr.  Buttcrworth'a  in- 
tention eventually  to  restore  it  to  his  Alma 
Mater,  on  whose  walls,  it  would  appear 
from  Carlisle's  Grammar  Schools,  it  for- 
merly hung.  There  is  an  indifferent  copy 
of  it  now  suspended  in  St.  Mary's  hall  in 
Coventry ;  and  an  etching  has  been  made 
from  it  by  Mrs.  Dawson  Turner.  We 
may  add,  that  some  interesting  memorials 
of  John  Hales  and  his  foundations  have 
been  published  in  vol.  ii.  of  the  CoUeeta* 
nea  Topographies  et  Genealogicaand  voL  i. 
of  the  Topographer  and  Genealogist. 

Inp.  4H8,for  AIIOKPT^AJ  road  Ano- 
KPT«0I.  (This  error  crept  in  after  the 
proof  had  passed  the  writer's  eye.)  We 
are  happy  to  learn  that  the  object  of  our 
zealous  Correspondent  has  been  so  far  at- 
tained  that  the  Society  for  Promoting 
Christian  Knowledge  is  now  earnestly  en- 
gsged  in  a  new  edition  of  the  Septuagint,

H.  O.  complains  of  the  inaccuracy  of 
the  engraving  of  the  Launch  of  the  Royal 
Albert,  in  the  Illustrated  News,  which 
represents  Her  Majesty  as  accompanied 
by  two  Princes  and  one  Princess,  instead 
of  by  the  Prince  of  Wales  and  two  of  the 
Princesses.  Wc  apprehend  that  such  dis- 
crepancies from  the  fact  must  be  matters 
of  very  common  occurrence,  as  in  most 
cases  it  is  probable  that  a  sketch  of  the 
scene  is  taken  before  any  ceremonial  takes 
place.  They  will  have  the  advantage  here- 
after of  being  correct  in  point  of  costume 
at  least,  which  few  historical  pictures  are ; 
but,  as  to  perfect  authenticity,  they  cer- 
tainly must  not  be  relied  upon  with  much 
greater  confidence  than  if  they  had  been 
designed  at  a  greater  distance  from  the 
scenes  they  undertake  to  commemorate.

AMON'G  tlie  hooks  which  recent 
circumstaoces  hiive  called  forth,  or 
which  have  derived  from  these  latter 
niueh  incidentiil  importance,  we  are 
disposed  to  give  a  prominent  place  to 
tlie  **  Seei*et  History  of  the  Court  and 
Government  ofEussia  under  Alexander 
the  First  and  the  Emperor  Nicholas," 
by  J.  H,  Scbnitzler,  Thia  work  has 
appeared  in  two  good  jwirtly  octavo 
volumea.  We  cannot  indeed  say  that 
the  history  it  details  is  in  the  proper 
senise  of  the  word  "s^ret."  Secret 
history  ia  like  that  which  came  to  li^ht 
when  the  narrative  of  the  sayin;^  and 
doings  of  the  Czar,  as  detailed  by  Sir 
G.  Seymour  to  the  home  Government^ 
was  delirercd  by  the  latter  to  the  pub- 
lic for  its  peculiar  edification-  Such 
a  chapter  of  the  private  annab  of  the 
world  hm  seldom  been  opened  to  the 
wonder  and  indignation  of  mankind, — 
a  chapter  which  showeU  an  Emperor 
acting  the  part  of  "Shai-])"  in  "The 
Lying  Valet/'  and  which  has  won  for  rid 
hero  the  title  assumed  by  Holicre*s  valcl^ 
in  Latin  as  rieketty  as  his  principles, 
"Imperator  maximus  furborum !" 

The  secrethistory  of  ^li%  Schnitzler  is 
perhaps  in  this  niutJi  **  secret,*'  that  a 
great  portion  of  it  has  not  hitherto  been 
known  to  English  readers.  The  author 
does  not  reveal  profound  mysteries  of 
which  he  has  been  made  the  sole  coufi- 
dantj  but  he  has  industriously  gathered 
from  patent  sources  a  variety  of  inci- 
dents, attractive  in  their  nature,  agree- 
ably told,  and  for  the  most  part  new, 
at  least  to  those  who  have  not  made 
Russia,  its  men,  it«  manners,  and  its 
morals  J  their  particular  study. 

The  author,  a  Russian  employe^ 
boasts  of  his  *^  Ti^^lant  and  long- con- 


tinued observation,"  and  we  are  by 
no  means  disposed  to  deny  that  he 
possesses  the  faculty,  or  that  he  has 
vigorously  exercised  it.  He  writes 
impartially,  or  nearly  so ;  for  the  bias 
towards  Kussian  Czars  and  systems  is 
occasionally  perceptible ;  and  where 
partiaUty  is  perceptible,  he  gives  his 
reasons  for  ail  he  advances.  In  shorty 
bis  volumes  form  two  pleasant  par- 
terres, and  from  it  we  cull  a  few  leaves, 
adding  one  or  two  from  other  sources  to 
make  up  our  literary  bouquet  for  June. 
The  law  of  Russia  must  be  a  sublime 
puzzle  and  perplexity  to  all  ^luscovito 
plaintiffs  and  defendants.  As  a  general 
rule,  it  may  be  averred  that  the  richest 
rann  has  always  the  greatest  right  on 
bis  side,  providetl  only  that  he  be  liberal 
in  the  employment  of  his  riches. 
When  the  present  Czar  ascended  the 
throne,  he  published  a  very  melodra- 
matic sort  of  manifesto,  in  which  it 
was  said  that  the  law  was  the  great 
ark  in  which  alone  there  was  safety 
fbr  all.  Those  were  not  the  precise 
words,  but  they  are  substantially  cor- 
rect. Nicholas,  however,  soon  after 
added  an  explanatory  rider  to  the 
manifesto,  in  which  he  laid  down  the 
very  iutelljgible  rule  that  **  The  Auto- 
crat, from  whom  emanates  every  kind 
of  justice,  Is  the  only  irrevocable  judj^'e : 
his  decisions  alone  are  detinitive."  This 
rule,  of  course,  destroys  the  elTectivc 
working  of  any  law,  and  the  Czar's 
iu9tice,however  unobjectionable  it  may 
DC  when  caprice  or  impulse  help  him 
in  a  proper  direction,  must  often  be  even 
worse  than  the  wt:ll*known  "  Justices* 
justice"  which,  in  a  more  civilized 
country  than  Muscovy,  occasionally 
scandalizes  Astraea  and  uer  friends.

[JuDe, 


Tliere  U  no  diviaion  ofjiidicml  and 
OflminlBtrath'e  power.  Wben  the  Czar 
fimh  his  interest  rn  so  Ooing,  he  cafts 
ill  his  entire  pi*r8onaJ  weight  to  bring 
down  the  beam  of  Themifl  tin  his  plea- 
sure won  1*1  have  it  bend.  Soinctiineu 
this  fjersonal  interference  la  drolJ 
enough  in  its  methoJ  of  ilkstration. 
Thu8i  we  are  told  that  a  law-suk  was 
pending  before  the  fenatCi  and  the 
litigtint*  were  kept  in  a  state  *:»f  similar 
BUBpcnac.  The  jiid<Tcs  wouhl  not  help 
the  matter  on,  the  lawyers  would  not 
belp  1  he  judges,  and  the  litigants  would 
[not  !ielj)  iheinselvcji  by  giving  the 
^^jyttcr  to  tlieir  arbitrators,  and  resting 
content  with  an  award  of  shells.  The 
affair  beeanie  so  notonousi  that  the 
Czar  at  length  took  interest  in  the 
matter*  He  might  at  once  have  quick- 
eneil  the  judges,  who  were  waiting  to 
be  bribed,  by  eojntnnnding  them  to 
pronounce  judgment,  lie  chosei  how- 
ever, HO  eimally  eflectual  nutocrnlic 
method.  lie  did  not,  indeed,  dismiss 
and  disgrace  the  leading  interpreters 
of  the  law»  ajf  he  might  have  done-^ 
for  what  ean  Ije  jiat  do  ? — He  satisfied 
lib  sense  of  justice  and  law  by  seiKitJg 
on  the  porsoM  of  tha  cbaucellor  and 
the  attorney -general  of  the  depart- 
ment of  the  court  to  which  tl»e  law- 
ijuit  belonged,  and  kept  tbeni  in  close 
confinetuent  for  twenty-four  liours  in 
the  guard  room  of  the  senate. 

It  may,  however,  be  observed  that, 
confused  as  the  law  and  its  administra^ 
tion  limy  be,  there  h  a  miniiiter  of  justice 
to  wilt  en  over  all,  and  the  only  rcijuisito 
fu  r  th  e  ex  e  c  u  t  ion  o  I"th  e  ollice  th  a  t  solemn

high  trust  hay  heen  hchl  hy  poet*, 
diplonvaliHts,  and  old  soldiers  j  ni  short, 
nothing  could  possibly  be  more  absurd, 
except,  perhapv^  entrusting  the  ma- 
nagement of  the  navy  to  a  civilian 
lord,  who  is  profounffly  unconscious 
of  the  diderencc  between  *^  jjort*'  and

assertion  of  the  author's,  njunely,  that 
^^Niehohis  has  appointed  as  senators  &

OuverofT  and  Baron  Paul  de  llnhn,

of  the  ex  pec  tilt  ions  thus  ibmied  we  do 
not  know,  but  we  believe  that  these 
gentlemen  will  jn^rrectly  satisfy  tho 
viewH  of  the  Czar,  if  they  confine  them-

wlmm  the  lower  orders  affect  to  dia- 
cera  a  protector  against  tlie  oppres- 
fiions  of  the  arbtocracj.  Few  Czars 
hfive  sent  so  many  members  of  that 
aristocracy  to  Siheriu  aa  tbo  Czar 
"  Kicbolau"  fie  has  tempered  isome 
mercy  with  his  sevei  ity,  by  permitting, 
on  many  occasions,  the  wives  of  the 
oftending  nobles  to  accompany  their 
busbanels  int«  their  dii»tant  cxdc.  A 
more  reeeiit  writt^r  than  Mr.  Sehriitz- 
ler  a  vera  that  the  political  exlleji  id 
Siberia  arc  by  no  me4an8  ri*^oroy»ly 
treated  ;  that  it  is  not  mi  usual  to  meet 
them  ut  the  halls  and  other  aocial  festi- 
vals held  by  the  t^ovornors  of  the  lo- 
cality, and  that  all  that  is  expectcil  of 
them  is  perfect  si! e nee  on  all  political 
questions.  With  respect  to  the  kdie» 
who  ahare  in  the  penalties  indicted  un 
their  lor<l!*»  Mr,  Schniiisler  mentions  a 
bevy  of  these  heroines  joyjusly  em* 
bracing  the  destiny  which  had  de- 
5Ce  at i  e d  on  thei  r  h  usban ds .  Th  us,  a  (iev 
naming  several  heroines  who  isiit  side 
by  side  with  their  hirds,  '^^  stowed  four 
together  in  (dtighesy  or  two -wheeled 
carts,  without  any  other  jieat  than 
bundles  of  straw,  and  who,  in  this 
fashion,  traversed  the  seven  hundred 
and  firty  leagues  that  He  between  St. 
Petersburg'  and  Tobolsk,  he  adds — 
"and  it  ib  well-knowa  that  Prince 
Sergiua  Vollsonski\H  charming  wife 
(whoac  maiden  name  was  Raiefoki)  de- 
ceived lier  parents,  whom  she  adored, 
to  perform  b or  d u ty  li k e w i ne.  So  j oy - 
i'ully  did  these  noble  women  jiacrrRce 
themselves,  that  a  foreigner,  a  tra- 
velling companion  of  one  of  ihem, 
heard  this  strange  threat  uttered  by  a 
mother  in  speaking  to  her  Boniewhat 
petulaut  daughter,—"  Sophia^  if  you 
do  not  behave  well,  you  shall  not  go 
to  Siberia ! " 

Not  one  iif  the  conspirators  above 
alluded  to  hinl  l>een  guilty  of  any 
such  heavy  political  oltence  lu?  that 
which  has  been  committed  by  the 
Czar  himself  against  the  iieace  of  tlie 
world,  and  at  the  coi4t  of  sacred  truth 
and  of  that  honour  which,  it  is  said, 
should  llnd  a  sanctuary  in  the  breasts 
of  monarcbs  when  it  has  tied  from  the 
hearts  of  meaner  men  The  great 
felony  of  the  Czar,  which  has  for  its 
object  the  annexation  of  Turkey,  is 
only  passingly  alluded  to  by  Mr. 
Schnitzler ;  but  the  crime  itself  is  ad* 
mitted^ — m  the  crime,  if  not  of  the 


nation,  at  least  of  a  class.  The  lius- 
aians,  he  says,  have  dreamed  some- 
times of  another  capital.  St,  Peters- 
burg is  considered  as  having  fulfilled 
its  transitory  purpose  ;  and,  as  neither 
iloseow  nor  even  AVnrsaw,  bo  much 
nearer  to  Uie  (Jrerman  frontier,  would 
be  likely  to  be  chosen,  the  Russian 
imagination,  we  are  told,  has  wandered 
from  the  extreme  North  to  the  ex- 
tremity of  the  South,  where,  "  ioBteiid 
of  the  sombre  landscape  of  pining 
nature  and  a  freezing  climate,  it  be- 
held the  brilliant  spectacle  of  a  mag- 
nificent site  J  enlivened  by  a  sun  of 
unsullied  splendour^  whose  genial 
warmth  dilates  the  heart,  which,  on 
tfic  conlrarj',  sinks  under  the  northern 
aky.  This  capital  is  Constantinople, 
the  key  of  the  East,  and  destined  to 
become  sometime  or  other  one  of  the 
richest  marts  of  the  commerce  of  the 
world.'*  The  admiring  author  then 
describe.-*  the  position  of  the  coveted 
possession  in  a  sort  of  geographical 
rapture.  He  points  out  the  connec- 
tion existing  between  Turkey  and  Rus- 
sia by  means  of  great  rivers,  and  he 
speaks  of  the  Ottoman  capital  as  com- 
manding the  entrance  of  the  Mediter- 
ranean, where  '*  the  greatest  interests 
of  civilization  are  now  concentrated, 
and  where  the  r|uarrels  between  the 
first  powers  of  Christendom  will  hence- 
forth be  settled,"  Looking  forward  to 
that  terrible  consummation — Constan- 
tinople becoming  the  capital  of  the  Mus- 
covite empire — the  writer  boldly  avers 
that  it  would  cause  the  dismember- 
ment of  Russia.  Such  an  occurrence, 
be  maintains,  "  would  not  only  occa- 
sion a  new  phasis  In  the  aflairs  of  the 
world,  but  become  also  the  cause  of 
a  comjjlete  overthrow  in  the  interior 
condition  of  that  empire.*'  He  be- 
comes, however,  le^is  dogmatic  as  he 
proceeds,  and  concludes  hypotheti- 
cally  by  sugge^iting  thut  then,  "  ac- 
cording to  all  probability,  the  North 
would  detach  itaclf  from  the  South; 
new  states  would  be  ibrmed  ;  and  the 
future  prospects  uf  the  Sclavonic  race 
would  assume  a  very  difi^erent  asf^ect.'* 
The  Cjsar  himself  is  by  no  means 
80  hypothetical.  He  looki*  upon  "ce 
monsieur "  the  Sultan  as  moribund ; 
and  be  has  long  been  plotting  how  to 
cheat  the  natural  heirs  out  of  their 
inheritance.  Uis  great  trust,  after

Moscow  under  such  a  demonstration 
of  rejoicing,  honours,  and  superstition 
as  the  world  had  seldom  seen.  "  The 
Muticovites  ran  forth  to  meet  her,  fell

Since  then  there  hiis  bet^ii  no  lack  of 
tniranles  performed  by  the  image,  nor

aJone  continued  uninjured^  why  it  is 
M  dear  as  logic  cati  make  lU  if  logic

ofNiohohtf  upon  the  property  of  the 
Moslem  must  nave  the  sanction  of  that 
power  by  whom  these  miracles  are 
permitted — which  is  not  ut  all  impro- 
bable. Much  future  greatness  must, 
of  course,  be  in  store  for  a  potentate

pire,  has  the  privilege  of  Potchimm 
imrttkcnum,  of  receiving  the  couiinu- 
nion  In  both  kinds — ^'the  boily  and

that  Nicholas  gave  up,  at  his  corona-

before  us  to  an  extract  from  Fraser's 
Magazine,  which  appeared  just  after 
the  vtt^it  of  the  Czar  to  this  country. 
It  IS  written  by  one  who  knew  well 
the  policy  and  the  views  of  RusBia,  It 
might  indeed  have  been  composed  by 
the  Cxar  himseU^  and  it  shows  how 
very  averse  he  has  ever  been  to  an 
union  of  the  "  Four  Powers/'  in  op- 
position to  his  own  system*  Here  is 
the  important  '* manifesto" — for  the 
passage  below  has  really  the  force  and 
value  of  a  static-paper*

of  feJi^rvia  have  occupied  much  of  his

bons of  Spain  and  Naples  with  the  younger 
branch  of  France,  To  Prince  Mettcrnich 
and  Austria  he  leaves  the  care  of  Italy, 
and  buBies  himself  but  tittle  ac  to  its  fate. 
He  is  aatbiied  that  rebellions  in  that  por- 
tiou  of  Europe  will  be  promptly  sop- 
p relied  by  Amtriaji  vigilance  and  power  • 
but  should  a  general  ribingf  either  io

the  interveutioi^  of  his  armies  necei^saryf 
he  would  not  hesitate  to  aid  in  replacing 
thoec  countries  in  the  condition  in  which 
they  were  placed  by  the  trenties  of  Vienna* 
The  return  of  the  Conservatives  to  power 
in  Great  Britain  was  a  source  of  unfeigned 
Batidfaction  to  the  Emperor  Nicholas.  Of 
Lord  Falmeraton,  be  entertains  a  very 
mean  opinion.  For  Sir  Robert  Fee}^  Lord 
Aberdeen,,  and  the  Dake  nf  WcUiugton, 
he  invariably  expresses  the  inost  nnfeigned 
respect. 

The  patriotic  English  author  pro*

expedient  for  CJreat  Britain  to  coalesce 
with  Kiissia  a^jainst  other  powertr,  and

think  that  "re  tn'  the  Czar  got 

the  belter  of  one  portiim  of  the  presvS  in 
England  long  before  he  attempted  to 
win  to  his  Jtide  EiKjland^a  representative 
in  Russia,  The  Czar^it  appears,  made 
no  secret  of  his  contempt  for  Palmer - 
ston,  and  did  not  attempt  to  hide  his 
admiration  for  Aberdeen:  the  value 
which  those  statesmen  set  upon  his 
opinion  of  them  is  amusingly  exempli- 
fied in  the  fact  that  they  both  belong 
to  the  ministry  which  unanimously  de- 
clared war  agamst  the  Mascarille  among 
monarchs. 

The  history  of  the  events  which  were 
concluded  by  the  coronation  of  Ni- 
cholas forjns  incontestably  the  most 
atti-active  portion  of  Mr.  Schnitzler'fl 
volumes.  At  the  death  of  Alexander, 
the  next  male  heir  was  Constant! ne, 
Alexander'a  brother;  but  the  crown 
devolved  upon  Nicholas^  a  younger 
brother*  Wc  remember  that  thl^  pass- 
ing over  of  Cons  taut  iuc  was  at  first 
con?tflered  to  have  been  in  virtue  of 
that  fatal  ukase  of  Peter  the  Great 
which  conferred  on  every  Russian 
Cjtar  the  right  of  naming  hi  a  succes5on 
This  uka3e,  however^  was  set  aside  by 
the  sensible  decree  of  poor  Paul,  who, 
considering  he  was  accounted  insane, 
was  the  autlior  of  many  acts  that  had 
about  them  a  raarvelloua  air  of  wisdom, 
and  who  deftnitelv  fixed  the  succession 
according  to  mafc  hereditary  descent, 
failing  which,  the  vacant  throne  was  to 
be  ascended  by  that  princess  who,  at 
the  time  of  the  decease  of  the  last 
Emperor,  was  his  nearest  relation*  The 
circumstances  which  deprived  Constan- 
tinc  of  his  iijberltanco  belong  to  the 
romance  of  history  ;  they  ure  furnicd 
of  facts  far  i»ti'auger  ihan  fiction. 

In  the  last  year  of  the  life  of  Cathe- 
rine, a  little  girl  just  in  her  teens,  the 
sister  of  Leopold  now  King  of  the 
Belgians,  and  known  as  the  Princess 
Julienne  of  Saxc-Coburg,  was  taken 
to  St.  Petersbui'g.  Const  an  tine  was 
then  a  little  boy,  and  could  not  bear 
the  little  beauty  from  Suxo-Coburg. 
The  pretty  prmcess  was  not  more 
taken  with  the  self-wlllfil,  flat-nosed,

tempered  CzarovitclL.  Bat  their  se- 
Term!  opinions  were  not  consulted,  and 
of  boj  and  girl  Catharine  made  one 
flesh.  It  was  a  deplorable  anion ;  and 
tlie  onljr  unanimity  of  sentiment  ma- 
toalljr  acknowlerlged  br  the  anhappj 
children  was  an  unanimity  of  antipittliy 
for  each  other.  Through  four  weary 
Tears  they  dragged  the  fetters  which 
lore  could  not  uide  with  roses,  and 
then  they  separated.  The  little  Grand 
Duchess  retired  to  Germany  with  a 
handsome  amount  of  alimony,  and 
when  some  years  afterwards  oTerturcs 
were  made  that  had  a  reconciliation 
for  their  object,  the  blooming  young 
Ducheits  wisely  refuseil  to  listen  to 
them.  She  kept  her  widowed  state 
and  her  pension.  Her  conduct  was 
easily  justific<l ;  she  would  have  sacri- 
ficed her  personal  dignity  and  for- 
feited her  self-respect  had  she  again 
piUowe<l  her  heafl  on  the  breai<t  of  a 
man  who,  during  their  separation,  ha<l 
been  by  no  means  particular  where  he 

Sillowcd  his  own.  And  so  the  imperial 
ymon  went  in  search  of  another  Iphi- 
genia. 

A  quarter  of  a  century  had  elapse<l 
since  the  fruitless  union  of  Constantine 
and  Julienne.  The  former  was  then 
at  the  very  highest  of  his  gigantic 
strength,  his  furious  temper,  and  his 
unutterable  ugliness.  He  was  at  the 
time  in  Toland,  where  his  little  eyes 
one  evening  happened  to  fall  upon  a 
Tision  of  the  most  delicate  beauty,  in 
the  person  of  a  young  Polish  countess, 
Jeanne  (iudzinskn,  who  wus  as  highly 
estimable  for  her  luentnl  (qualities  and 
for  her  purely  womanly  virtues  as  she 
was  renowned  for  that  roncjuering 
beauty  before  the  intellectual  expres- 
sion of  which  all  men  bent  in  admiring 
subjection. 

fJeanne  Gudzinaka  was  not  to  be 
wooed  and  won  but  as  virtuous  maiden 
might,  and  Icnst  of  all  was  she  inclined 
to  listen  to  the  addresses  of  a  prince 
who  had  a  wife  living,  or  to  abandon 
her  faith  un<l  adopt  that  of  the  Greek 
Church,  even  wlien  all  other  obstacles 
to  an  iinnerial  marriage  had  been  swept 
away.  Constantine  was  at  his  wits' 
end,  but  perhaps  the  lady  may,  after 
all,  have  helpeu  him  out  of  his  diffi- 
culty. He  went  to  his  brother  the 
Czar,  and  Alexander  called  in  his  coun- 
sellor the  Church ;  and,  afler  much 
licussion,  the  monarch  agreed  to  a 


Leavesjrom  a  RustiaM  PairUrre* 


CJ- 


left-kanded  marriage  bein^  coadodri 
between  the  eoamoured  pur,  provided 
the  brer  woaki  sarrender  Ii»  right  to 
a  throne  oo  whidi  he  ooold  not  be 
allowed  to  sit  aide  by  aide  with  a  jmt- 
vemm  lady,  and  that  lady  a  Pole.  Cqb- 
stantine' thought  of  "^  All  for  I^Te,** 
and  joyfully  consented.  The  Char^ 
however  little  reluctant  to  pronooBoe 
a  divorce  between  the  prince  and  his 
first  wife,  wqm  difficult  upon  the  point 
of  permitting  either  of  the  tliToreed 
parties  to  marry  again.  It  waa*  how- 
ever, only  a  show  of  difficulty,  and 
ultimately  the  clerical  powers  went 
even  further  than  they  were  asked,  and 
authorised  the  union  of  Constantine 
and  Jeanne,  by  simply  declaring  the 
previous  one,  faictween  the  same  prince 
and  Julienne,  to  have  been  null  and 
void  from  the  beginning. 

The  marriage  took  place  on  the  5th 
of  June,  1820,  and  two  months  subse- 
quently the  Czar  raised  the  bride  to 
the  rank  of  "Princess  of  Lowica," 
with  remainder  to  her  heirs.  Of  these 
latter  there  were  none,  and  this  cir- 
cumstance was  the  only  spot  on  the 
undimmed  sunshine  of  happiness  which 
rested  upon  the  house  or  the  Russian 
prince  and  the  Polish  lady. 

Horace  Walpole,  speaking  of  these 
lefl  -  handed  marriages,  says,  trulj 
enough,  that  they  are  absurd  evasions 
of  the  indissolubility  of  marriage,  "as 
if  the  Almighty  ha<l  restrained  His 
ordinance  to  one-half  of  a  man's  person, 
and  allowed  a  [n*eater  latitude  to  his 
left  side  than  to  his  right,  or  pronounced 
the  former  more  ignoble  than  the  latter. 
The  consciences  both  of  princely  and 
noble  i)ersons  are  quieted  if  the  more 
plebeian  side  is  married  to  one  who 
would  degrade  the  more  illustrious 
moiety ;  but,  as  if  the  laws  of  matri- 
mony had  no  refi*rence  to  the  children 
to  be  thence  propagated,  the  children 
of  a  left-handed  alliance  are  not  entitled 
to  inherit.  Shocking  consequence  of 
a  senseless  equivocation,  that  only  sa- 
tisfies pride,  not  justice,  and  calculated 
for  an  acrpiittal  at  the  heralds'  office, 
not  at  the  last  tribunal!'* 

Thoughts  like  these  did  not  afl'ect  the 
tranquillity  of  the  wedded  life  of  Con- 
stantino and  the  Princess  of  Lowicz. 
To  his  admirable  wife  the  imperial 
husband  is  said  to  have  ever  been  as 
the  most  assiduous  of  lovers,  as  indeed 
was  his  father  Paul  to  the  pretty  Marie

Fedcorowna»  nnd  sometimes  so  demon* 
stmtively  ao  that  even  Sir  Nnlbaniel 
Wraxall  was  put  to  the  blush.  The 
Duke  of  Orleans  and  Ills  wife,  a  Prin- 
cess of  Conti,  who  probably  were  for  & 
time  the  raost  ridiculouslj  ostentatious 
of  thetr  fondness  of  all  married  pairs, 
were  cold  compared  with  the  Czaro- 
▼itch  and  his  consort.  Each  indeed 
had  good  grounds  for  being  happy. 
The  wife  made  of  her  htiaband  a  new 
being,  and  the  husband  gratefully  ac- 
knowledged the  metamoqihosis,  and 
blessed  the  irresistible  inlluence  of  his 
wife. 

Long  before  Alexander  died,  sus- 
picion was  ailoAt  that  Constantine  was 
not  to  be  his  successor.  An  almanac 
published  in  1825  at  Frankfort^  under 
the  control  too  of  the  Prussian  cen- 
sorship, ventured  to  stylo  the  Grand 
Duke  Nicholas  '*  heir  to  the  throne  " 
Persons  who  had  occasion  at  this  period 
to  approach  the  wife  of  Nicholas — for- 
merly the  Princess  Charlotte  of  Prussia 
— declared  that  a  certain  asaumption 
of  haughtiness  indicate^l  that  she  was 
not  unaware  of  her  husband's  prospects. 

It  is  belieyed  that,  though  Constan- 
tfne  did  readily  accede  to  Oie  proposed 
surrender  of  his  inheritance  as  the 
price  of  permission  for  his  second  mar- 
riage, he  at  first  suggested  that  the 
heirs  of  such  marriage  might  bo  ex- 
cluded, but  that  he  himself  might  wear 
the  crown  in  default  of  nearer  heirs 
of  his  brother.  He  however  gave  up 
all  ideas  of  imperio!  greatness  rather 
than  be  deprived  of  marrying  the  Polish 
object  of  his  love.  In  the  deed  of  re- 
nunciation which  he  executed  he  mo* 
desily  attributed  his  abnegation  of  the 
throne  to  his  incapacity  to  bear  the 


burthen  and  rcsponsiliility  of  a  crown. 
He  was  all  the  happier  for  it;  and, 
when  opportunity  was  given  him  to 
profit  it  he  would  by  violatinsf  his 
pledge,  he  preserved  his  faith  like  an 
honest  man,  and  was  happy  in  the  ap- 
proving smiles  of  a  wife  who  had  as 
little  ambition  as  himself — except  to 
reign  at  a  quiet  hearth.  For  her,  Con- 
Stan  line  sacrificed  undoubtedly  a  briU 
Uant  position,  but  he  never  regretted 
the  act,  and  his  devotion  to  his  wife 
increased  as  their  union  waxed  old. 
So  fond  had  be  grown,  this  once  ahnost 
inhuman  savage,  of  private  life  and 
pure  domestic  felicity,  that,  just  before 
death  cut  short  his  days,  he  was  enter- 
tiiiuing  an  idea  of  carrying  his  devotion 
still  further,  and,  so  soon  as  he  should 
have  accomphshed  his  forty  years'  ser* 
vice,  of  retiring  into  private  life,  fixing 
his  residence  at  Frankfort -on -the - 
Blaine.  Eleven  brief  years  formed  the 
limit  of  duration  of  this  singular,  and 
singu !arly feli c i tons, union.  ThePrin- 
cess  died,  a  few  months  after  her  hus- 
band, at  St  Petersburg,  on  the  20th 
of  November,  183L  In  her,  Kussia 
lost  more  virtue,  ability,  and  general 
worth  than  had  ever  been  seated  on 
the  imperial  throne  of  which  she  had 
not  been  deemed  worthy  by  the  elder 
member  of  a  family  who  traced  its  de- 
scent from  the  Czarina  of  tlie  first  of 
the  Romanoffs,  who  took  her  from  a 
cottage  and  made  her  the  mother  of 
princes. 

With  this  pleasant  little  drama  we 
must  bring  our  notice  to  a  close,  but 
not  without  a  word  of  recommendation 
for  Mr.  Schnitzler's  volumes,  by  which 
It  has  been  elicited*

example  of  hiti  general  mode  of  deal- 
ing with  his  subjeotr  ^  account  of 
Becket,  in  whose  history  we  nr^  aU 
interested* 

Tbe  clnim  of  exemption  from  86cu<* 
Ur  control  on  the  part  of  the  clergy 
had  difsquleted  the  Church  of  England 
from  the  period  of  the  Norman  Con* 
quest.  It  had  prejudiced  the  Con- 
queror against  the  An^lo-Sflxon  elerflr^, 
had  Gonauccd  to  the  deposition  of  Stt* 
gand,  and  had  embroiled  the  realm 
duriug  the  primacies  of  Auiclin  und 
Theobitld,  The  validity  of  thia  exemp- 
tion was  the  <iue»ti<»n  in  di  *  ■*  ' 
tween  Henry  Jj.  and  Bee  I 
olnim  of  tlie  clcrj^y  is  thus  ^u.vv  .  .  y 
the  present  author.  He  terms  it  "  the 
great  strife  for  the  malutcnance  of  the 
BaceribtAl  order  as  a  separate  caste  of 
mankind,  subject  only  to  its  own  juris^ 
diction^  and  irresponsible  but  to  its 
own  supenora*  Every  individual,**  he 
continues,  ^^  in  that  caste,  to  it«  lowest 
doorkcepOTtdiumed  an  absolute  immu- 
nity from  capital  punishment.  The 
executioner  m  those  agca  sacrificed 
hund^ds  of  eommon  human  lives  to 
the  terror  of  the  law ;  ihe  churchman 
alone,  to  the  most  menial  of  the  clerical 
body,  stood  above  such  law.  The 
churchman  too  was  judge  without  ap- 
peal in  all  cau.^ea  of  privilege  or  of 
property  which  he  possessed,  or  in 
which  be  claimed  the  right  of  pusaes- 
scsion."  (iii.  44K)  Were  these  lofty 
immunities  to  be  conceded  P  This  was 
the  question  to  be  tried.  The  parties 
contesting;  this  great  isime  were,  on  the 
one  side,  Henry  11*  of  England — 

A  sovereign,  at  his  accession ^  with  the 
i  eatensive  l<»Titori«a  and  kia  Ifmiled 


power,  with  vait  oommaad  of  wealth 
above  sny  monarch  of  bis  time  ;  •  man  of 
great  ability,  dflcisionf  and  activity;  of 
ungoveroahk  passions  aud  tntentiG  prido, 
which  did  not  prerent  him  from  aloopiag 
to  dissimulation,  iutrtgae,  and  fubtia 
policy* 

On  the  other  side,  as  the  upholder 
of  the  clerical  caste  with  all  iU  immuni- 
ties stood  Beoket«  Dr.  MUman  refuaoi 
all  credence  to  the  legendary  Sara-* 
conic  descent  of  the  mother  of  tue  great 
priestly  mnrtyr^  a  legend  which  Lin- 
gard  passed  over  tn  silence  and  Sharon 
Turner  adopted  rn  simple  faith.  Kor 
will  Dr,  Milnian  admit  the  Saxon  de- 
scent through  Becket's  father,  which 
was  asserted  by  Lord  Lylteltou  and  is 
acquiesced  in  by  Mons.  Thien-y.  The 
saint's  parents,  according  to  Dean  Mil- 
man,  were  hcmeit  people  of  the  burgher 
class,  living  at  Caen.  Tliey  removod 
to  London,  where  Becket's  father  oe« 
cupied  a  respectable  station  as  a  mer* 
chant.  The  young  Becket  was  trained 
to  business.  Erom  the  monast^y  of 
Merton  he  was  promoted  to  the  count* 
ing'bouao  of  a  merchant,  and  after* 
wards  to  the  oOloe  of  the  Sheri^'  of 
London,  After  a  time  he  was  sent  to 
Paris  to  complete  his  knowledge  of  the 
languagte  of  hia  ancestors,  and  on  his 
return  was  thrown  by  good  fortune, 
and  the  inlhience  of  his  obvious  abdity, 
in  the  way  of  archbishop  Theobald, 
who  admitted  him  into  his  household 
and  ultimately  into  bis  nearest  confi- 
dence. In  the  archbishop*^  train  Becket 
visited  Borne,  and,  layman  as  he  still 
was,  received  from  hia  archiepiscxmal 
patron  many  rich  preferments.  His 
talents  displayed  themselves  in  various 
dillicull  negotiations,  and  were  re- 
warded by  an  archdeaconry,  and  the 
richest  ofiicea  in  the  Church  short  of  a 
bishopriek.  On  the  accession  of  Henry 
II.  tho  archbishop  recommende*!  his 
favourite  Becket  to  the  patronage  of 
the  young  sovereign.  Henry  at  once 
took  him  Into  his  good  graces,  and  at 
Theobald's  suggestion  conferred  npoa 
him  the  office  or  Chancellor,  During 
the  remainder  of  archbishop  Theo- 
bald*s  liie,  Becket  governed  the  King 
with  tho  same  clevernCB^,  devotion, 
and  magnilicence,  which,  livo  centuries 
afterwwda,  were  exhibitc<l  by  Wolsey, 
In  doing  so  Becket,  like  Wolsey,  dis- 
played great  talents.  True  be  hu- 
moured ihe  royal  follies,  but  he  also

cnry  of  the  courtiere  at  thia  proof  of 
Becket'a  faTuurj  to  the  ihivenng  beggar. 

On  the  deeth  of  Theobald,  popular 
espectfttjoiimstjintlj  fixed  upon  Becket 
is  fiiieoeoetsor.  Becket  bimaelf  is  said 
to  fcijfobeeii  tinwiUing,  foreseeio^  that 
hJipmioiioil  would  place  him  in  op- 
poittioa  to  hii  royal  beoefactor.  Nor

eowL  The  King  bore  down  all  opposi- 
tion. He  diiregarded  what  be  sup- 
po«ed  to  be  the  affected  coyness  of 
Becket,  and  lent  down  bit  great  jus- 
ticiaryf  Hicbard  de  Luei,  to  awe  the 
rufractory  monka  into  Bubmi«sion, 
Becket  was  elected,  and  Gilbert  Foiiot, 
bishop  of  Herefordi  declared  that  the 
King  liad  wrought  a  miracle,  hy  turn- 
ing a  Bolrlier  and  a  hiyinan  mto  an 
archbiBhop.  Let  ua  listen  to  Dean 
Miiiimn's  account  of  the  immediate 
result* 

The  King  had  indeed  wrought  a  greater 
miracle  than  himielf  intended,  or  than 
FoHot  thought  possible.  Becket  became 
at  once  not  merely  a  decent  prelete,  but 
an  auatere  and  mortified  monk  :  hf;  teemed 
determined  to  make  up  fur  hii  w&nt  of 
ascetic  qualiAcations ;  to  crowd  a  whote 
life  of  monkhood  into  a  few  years.  Under

obseqnioBs  deferenee.    For  tbe  Bpfigbll| 
eonTerwtioos  of  fofmer  tinea  were 
grave  books  in  the  Latin  of  the  chnreb, 

Bot  the  change  was  not  alooie  tn  blifl 
habits  and  mode  ol  life.    The  King  i 
not  hare  reprof  ed,  he  might  have  j 
the  most  punctilioos  regard  for  the 
cencj,  tbe  dignity  of  the  higheal  < 
aiattic  in  tbe  resLm.     Bot  the 
dmrchman  began  to  betraj  it««2f  in  mor 
unexpected  acts.    While  still  in  Fr«oett  | 
Henry  was  startled  at  receiving  a  peremp 
torf  resignation  of  tbe  chancellairmhtp» 
inconsistent  with  tbe  retigiotii  fuoetioBa  i 
tbe  pnoiate.    This  aet  WM  ii  k 
bill  of  divorce  from  all  pMOtttl  Intiaaaef ' 
with  the  King,  a  dissolution  of  their  old 
familiar  and  friendlj  intercourse.     It  waa 
not  merely*that  tbe  holy  and  austere  prc« 
late  withdrew  from  tbe  unbecoming  pica-  j 
sures  of  tbe  court,  the  chase,  tbe  ban^u 
the  tournament,  even  the  war  j  they  i 
no  more  to  meet  at  the  council  board  and'l 
the  seat  of  judicature.     It  bad  been  saill 
that   Becket  was  co-aorereign   with   tha 
King ;  he  now  appeared  (and  there  were 
not  wanting  secret  and  invidious  enensiea 
to  suggest,  and  to  inflame  tbe  sttspicioa«)« 
rival  sovereign.    The  King,  when  Beckd  ] 
met  bim  on  his  landing  at  SontbampUMi^  I 
did  not  attempt  to  conceal  his  dissatiafae*  | 
tion  ',  his  reception  of  bis  old  friend  wet  j 
cold. 

It  were  unjust  to  bumsn  nature  to  tup^  \ 
pose  that  it  did  not  cost  Becket  a  violeat  I 
struggle,   a  pninful   sacrifice,  thus  ai   it 
were  to  rend  bimielf  from  tbe  familiarit]^  j 
and   fnendahip  of  hit  muuifioent   bene*] 
factor.     It  wad  no  doubt  a  aerere  sense  o#  1 
dutj  which  crushed  bia  natural  affectiona*  [ 
eipectallj  aa  vulgar  ambition  must  havtt 
pointed  out  a  more  sure  and  ssfe  way  to 
power  and  fame.     Such  ambiiion  wouI4 
hardly  bare  hesitated  between  the  nUiog  j 
all  orders  through  tbe  King,  and  tbe  loU- 
tary  and  dangerous  position  of  oppostag; 
so  powerful  a  monarch  to  maintain  the 
interesta   and   secure  the  favour  of  on» 
order  alone* 

Tbe  firat  public  difference  botweca 
tbe  Kin<^  and  Becket  i^  thought  to  havo  | 
bad  relation   to  the  King's  intended  I 
reimpositionofDancgelt.  Becket  alone 
opposed  the  meditated  measure,  on  the 
ground  that  the  odious  impost  was  «

mere  voluntary  pftyment*  aiid  not  a 
tax  to  be  levied  by  authority.  **  By 
the  eyc5  of  God,  said  Henry,  hi3 
usual  oath,  "it  shall  be  enrolled." — "By 
the  same  eyes  by  which  you  a  wear," 
replied  the  prelate,  **  it  shall  never  be 
levied  on  my  lands,  whilst  I  live  " 

Such  an  unwise  defiance  was  fol- 
lowed ere  long  by  other  acta  in  the 
fiame  spirit.  But  the  Iving  struck  at 
the  root  of  all  such  causes  of  dispute 
by  choosing  the  question  of  the  immu- 
nities of  the  clergy  as  his  field  of  battle. 
Crimes  of  great  atrocity  were  in  those 
rough  ilajs  committed  by  members  of 
the  clerical  order,  but  the  culprits  were 
tried  in  the  eccleaiaatieal  courts,  where 
no  higher  punishments  were  inflicted 
than  "  Hagellation,  imprisonment,  and 
degrada  ti  on/'  To  gi  ve  u  p  a  clergy  man 
to  a  civil  tribunal  was  termed  *' giving 
up  Christ  to  be  crnciiied  by  the  heathen.'* 
To  mutilate  the  person  of  one  in  holy 
orders  was  held  to  be  directly  contrary 
to  the  Scripture ;  and  it  was  deemed 
a  thing  inconceivable  that  hiftds  which 
had  but  now  "made  God'*  (iii*  4^9) 
should  be  tied  behind  the  back  like 
those  of  a  conimon  male  fact  or  ^  or  that 
his  neck  should  be  wrung  on  a  gibbet 
before  whom  kings  had  but  now  lx>wed 
in  reverential  homage. 

A  gross  ca-vc  occurred  of  a  clerk  in- 
«ufl5ciently  punished  for  a  grievous 
offence.  The  King  summoned  a  great 
council  to  consider  the  (iuestion^  and 
it  was  agreed  that  accused  clerks  should 
thenceforth  be  delivered  up  to  the  or- 
dinnry  tribunals  for  trial.  Becketwas 
foremost  in  opposition.  He  maintained 
the  inviolability  of  the  persons  of  the 
clergy,  and  insistctl  that  they  should 
not  be  bound  hy  the  new  law.  The 
bishops  were  called  upon  by  the  King 
to  declare  their  concurrence  in  its  pro- 
visions, Becket  added  these  words  to 
the  customary  formula  of  consent — 
"saving  my  order,"  which  totally  nul- 
lifie<l  tne  proceeding.  All  the  other 
bishops  save  one  followed  his  example. 
But  time  and  further  consideration, 
with  some  experience  of  the  weight  of 
the  royal  indignation,  produced  an 
alteration  in  their  minds.  Becket 
yielded  to  the  entreaties  of  his  brethren, 
the  new  law  was  reduced  to  writing, 
and  was  confirmed  by  the  bishops  m 
a  solemn  oath  of  consent  at  a  council 
held  at  Clarendon.  Becket  took  this 
oatbf  but^  when  callod  upon  to  further 


ratify  the  act  by  affixing  his  seal,  he 
declined.  Repenting  ftlready  of  what 
he  had  done,  he  not  only  refused  to 
put  his  seal,  but  wrote  to  the  pope  re* 
cjuesting  to  be  absolved  from  nis  oath. 
The  compliant  head  of  the  Church, 
at  that  time  an  exile  ia  France^  was 
harassed  by  an  anti-pope,  who  was 
supported  by  the  emperor.  He  yielded 
immediately  to  Beckei's  request.  The 
primate's  oath  was  nullified,  and  his 
concurrence  in  the  Constitutions  of 
Clarendon  was  quashed.  But  Henry 
was  not  thus  to  be  foiled.  He  also 
applied  to  the  pope,  and  extorted  from 
his  feebleness  a  variety  of  conces- 
sions which  reduced  the  power  and 
irritated  the  temper  of  the  incau- 
tious primate.  The  king  also  brought 
forwai^d  money  claims  against  the 
archbishop,  arising  out  of  the  accounts 
of  bis  chancellorship,  which  still  re- 
mained unsettled.  The  amount  de* 
manded  bv  the  king  was  44,000  marks, 
an  overwhelming  sum.  Becket  took 
counsel  of  his  brother  prelates,  who 
advised  him  to  throw  himself  on  the 
mercy  of  the  sovereign.  He  Rejected 
their  advice,  denied  the  validity  of  the 
Constitutions  of  Clarendon  and  the 
jurisdiction  of  a  civil  tribunal  to  try  a 
cruestion  in  which  he  was  intei'ested. 
Finally,  he  appealed  to  the  pope.  Such 
conduct  was  deemed  not  merely  n 
breach  of  the  constitutions  of  Claren- 
don, to  which  Becket  had  sworn,  but  a 
treasonable  defiance  of  the  King ;  and 
the  lay  Imrons  referred  with  indignant 
regret  to  the  times  of  the  Conqueror, 
"who  knew  best  how  to  deal  with 
these  turbulent  churchmen."  The 
bishops  were  inhibited  by  Becket  from 
taking  part  in  the  further  proceedings 
against  him.  The  Kiiig  summoned 
them  to  perform  their  duty.  They 
appealed  in  vain  to  the  primate  to  re- 
lease them  from  their  canonical  obe* 
dience  as  hissuffragans.  All  the  answer 
they  could  extract  from  him  was,  "I 
hear." 

They  returned  to  the  Kia^,  and  with 
difficnlty  obtained  an  exemptioa  from  con- 
cnrreace  in  the  sentence ;  they  prozniBcd 
to  join  ia  a  aupplicfition  to  the  pope  to 
depoae  Becket.  The  King  permitted  their 
appeal.  Robert  Earl  of  Leicester^  a  grave 
aad  aged  uohlemaut  was  commissioned  to 
proDOunce  the  sentence.  Leiceater  had 
hardly  begun  when  Becket  sternly  iater- 
rupted  him,     "  Thy  acnteuce  !   son  and

pri  n  ei  pal  opponents ,  The  pope  wavrnd 
and  temponaed;  special  legates  wept 
and  accepted  bribess ;  Henry  was  vio-

and  in  all  concessions  constant  to  his 
obnoxiouj  exception,  "saving  the  ho- 
nour of  God  and  the  rights  of  the 
Cburch"^ — which  included  everything 
in  dispute ;  the  bishops,  overawed  and 
jmralysed  by  Becket  s  excomnniBi ca- 
tion, were  gradually  goin;^  uv  '  v-^ 
Mdc.  Becket  uhirnatelytht 
Jay  the  kingdom   undrr     '  ini, 

and  such  was  the  ^y\\  fear 

entertained  of  his  spirit;-,.:  ^.  ;  i,  that 
all  the  bishops  except  two  were  pre- 
pared to  obey  him.  At  this  point  the 
pope  waa  induced  to  interfere,  lie 
released  the  bishops  froml^cket*3  ex* 
f)oniii]ianication.  There  followed  a 
tioUoir  recc^nciliation,  which  left  all  the 
CWQScs  of  dispute  unsettled,  and  gave 
Becket  an  opportunity  for  fccerciaing 
▼cngeance.  He  Inndfd  nt  Sandwich 
from  Whit  sand,  but  sent  before  him 
fresih  aentencea  of  ex  communication 
which,  on  a  new  pretence,  he  had  pro- 
cured from  the  iK)peBgainsthia  enemies, 

^\b<e:a  the  falmiattiog  itistrnmeDtg  were 
read  before  tliein  [Becket^s  suffragans  and

his  feet,  and  miking  their  necks  his  foot-

oited,  tiDhcJird,  unjudged,  *' There  is  no 
poaoe/'  Becket  stL-rnly  reijlicd^  **  but  to

Becket ;  hut  York,  trusting  in  his  wealth, 
boss  ted  that  be  hnd  in  his  power  the  pope, 
the  king,  and  all  thctr  roarts. 

Instead  of  the  port  of  Dover,  where  he

liepiscopal  banner  dispUyed,  cast  an-

eared   in  arms   the  sberifi^  of  Kent, 

aadulph  de  Broc,  and  other  of  his  ene- 
mies. They  icarcUed  his  baggage,  fiercely 
demanded  that  be  should  absolve  the 
bishops,  and  endeavoured  to  force  the 
Archdescon  of  Sens,  a  foreign  ecclesiastic^ 
to  take  an  oath  to  keep  the  peace  of  the 
Tvalm.  John  of  Oifbrd  was  shocked^  and 
their  violfnco.  On  bis  wsy  to 
r  the  country  ckrgy  came  forth 


with  their  flocki  to  meet  him ;  they  strewed 
tlielr  garments  in  his  way,  cbantingt 
**  BleMed  is  he  that  cometli  in  the  naoie 
of  the  Lord/'  Arri? ed  at  Canterbury,  ha 
rode  at  onoe  to  the  charch  with  a  Ya»t 
proecflsioa  of  ckrgy,  amid  the  ringiog  of 
the  bells  and  the  chanting  of  mu»ic.  Ha 
took  his  archiepiscopal  throne,  and  after- 
wards preached  on  the  text,  "  Here  we 
have  no  abiding  city,"  The  next  morniog 
came  again  the  aherilTof  Kent,  with  Ran- 
dalph  de  Broc,  and  the  meiteegers  of  the 
bishopi,  demanding  their  absolution. 
Becket  evaded  Che  question  by  asserting 
that  the  excommnni cation  was  not  pro- 
nounced by  him,  but  by  his  saperior  the 
pope ;  that  be  had  no  power  to  abrogate 
the  sentence.  Tbld  deelaration  was  directly 
at  Lssoe  witii  the  bnllof  <^commiinicatioD. 
If  the  bishop!!  gave  satiBfaction  to  the  arch^ 
bt};hop,  be  had  power  to  act  on  behalf  of 
the  pope.  But  to  the  satisfaction  which, 
according  to  one  occonnt,  be  did  demand, 
that  they  should  stand  a  poblic  trial,  in 
other  wordsj  place  theinsetves  at  his  mercy, 
they  would  not,  and  hardly  could^  submit. 
They  set  ont  immediately  to  the  King  in 
Normandy. 

It  was  on  the  arrival  of  the  newly 
excommunicated  prelates  in  the  pre- 
sence of  the  King  that  he  let  full  the 
fatal  words  which  Jed  to  the  murder  of 
the  archbishop.  We  need  not  dwell

rosemarj,  lavetidcrf  ancl  thyme,  and 
other  fragrant  shrubs^  to  the  tirst  her- 
mitage, dedicated  to  »St  James,  patron 
Saint  of  Spain.  Thia  is  two  thousand 
three  hundred  paces  from  the  convent, 
yet  it  hangs  so  directly  over  it,  that 
the  rocks  convey  not  only  the  sound 
of  the  organ,  and  the  voices  of  the 
monks  sinf^ing  in  the  choir,  but  you 
may  hear  men  in  common  conversation 
irom  the  piazza  beluw.  The  second 
bermitage  h  that  of  Su  Knthariue, 
situated  in  a  deep  secluded  vale.  At 
the  time  of  Thicsnesse's  visit  thia  was 
tenanted  by  a  hermit,  who  had  made 
the  birds  about  him  so  familiar  with 
h\s  presence,  as  not  only  to  manifest 
no  fearer  but  to  become  obedient  to  his 
call,  to  settle  upon  his  head,  and  even 
to  entangle  their  feet  in  his  beard»  and 
take  bread  out  of  his  mouth.  The 
attachmenL  of  recluses  and  prisoners 
to  the  poor  company  of  dumb  creatures 
teems  to  be  nature's  protest  a^atOBt  a 
condition  so  contrary  to  die  Taws  of 
our  being.  Yet^  even  in  this  en  joy - 
incDt,  the  poor  hermit  scarcely  abided 
by  the  rigid  rules  of  his  profession,  for 
they  are  forbi<ldcn  to  keep  *'  dog,  cat^ 
or  bird,  or  any  living  thing,  lest  their 
attention  should  be  withdrawn  from 
heavenly  to  earthly  uflections/* 

Kext  the  |)il!rnmH  arrive  at  the  her* 
niilsLge  of  SU  John  the  Baptist,  about 
800  iiiicea  further,  huving  on  the  eaet 
Bide  a  frightful  prwipice,  Here  Philip 
the  Third  dined  July  1 1  th.  1^99.  Nut 
far  oli'  is  the  chapvl  of  St.  Michael, 
near  to  which  i^  the  grotto  in  which 
the  nnraculoiiH  image  of  the  Virgin  is 
laid  to  have  been  ibund.  From  hence 
you  proceed  to  the  cell  of  St.  Uno- 
friys,  fixed  in  a  cleft  of  one  of  ihapine 
heads  (for  so  the  peaks  are  called  by 
Thicknesse,  from  the  Spanish  l>crias,) 
and  its  access  is  diflkult  and  dangerous, 
being  reached  by  a  ladder  of  sixty 
steps,  after  which  a  tremendous  chasm 
niuat  be  crossed  by  a  little  wooden 
bridge.  The  space  on  which  it  stands 
Is  very  limited ;  but  from  it  is  an 
extensive  prospect,  embracing,  when 
the  air  is  clear,  the  islands  of  Mi- 
norca, JMajorca,  Ivica,  &c.  By  a  hid- 
der  of  an  hundred  stops,  the  cell  of 
St.  Magdalen  is  attained;  and  hence 
is  a  path  to  the  highest  part  of  the 
mountain,  three  thousand  five  hundred 

5 aces  distant,  leading  to  the  cell  of  St* 
eromct  an  ascent  of  great  Iktiguo  and 
6£KT.  Mao.  Vox.*  XLL 


didiculty.  The  seventh  hermitage  iff 
dedicated  to  St.  Antony,  the  father  of 
hermits,  and  its  ascent  is  so  dangerous 
that  few  are  tempted  to  visit  it.  Tho 
turret  is  so  small  that  it  will  not  con- 
tain two  men,  and  is  near  the  edge  of 
a  frightful  precipice,  one  hundred  and 
eighty  fathoms  in  perpendicular  descent, 
NeJtt  is  the  cell  of  8t.  Saviour,  to 
attain  which  it  h  necessary  to  clamber 
over  the  crags  on  all- fours,  and  its 
oratory  is  cut  out  of  the  living  rock. 
Thence  the  descent  begins,  and  at  six 
hundred  paces  distant  is  the  hermitage 
of  Hi*  Benedict.  Here  the  hermit  hiis 
the  right  of  entertaining  his  brethren 
once  a -year,  when  they  receive  the 
sacrament  from  the  mountain  vicar. 
The  hermitage  of  St.  Anne  h  next 
approached ;  it  is  larger  than  the  rest, 
and  IS  nearly  in  the  centre  of  all,  sur- 
rounded by  noble  trees  of  "the  ever- 
green oak,  the  cork,  the  cypress,  and 
spreading  fig-tree,"  It  was  built  in 
1498,  and  pilgrims  pay  a  more  than 
ordinary  devotion  here,  which  may  be 
attributcMJ  to  the  fact  of  it  being  dedi- 
cated to  the  mother  of  the  Virgin* 
Eight  hundred  and  fifty  pacea  distant, 
in  a  solitary  deep  wood,  stands  the 
hermitage  of  the  IJolv  Trinity.  Next 
comes  that  of  the  Holy  Cross,  which  is 
that  nearest  to  ihe  convent.  The  last 
is  that  of  St.  Diinas,  the  origin  of  which 
is  singular.  It  was  formerly  a  strong 
castle,  inhabited  by  baiiditii,  who  plun- 
dere<l  the  country  far  and  near,  and 
would  frequently  demand  provisions 
and  wine  of  the  convent^  over  which 
it  hang8,  by  lowering  baskets  by  cords. 
If  their  demands  were  not  complied 
with,  "They  tumbled  down  rocks  of 
an  immense  size,  which  frequently 
damaged  the  buildingis,  and  killed  the 
people  beneath." 

At  length  the  monks,  by  the  assistancs 
of  good  gilflsfics,  and  a  conitant  attention 
to  the  motioDfl  of  their  troublesome 
boardertf  having  observed  that  the  greater 
part  were  gone  oat  on  a  marauding  party, 
persuaded  seren  or  eight  atout  fanners  to 
believe  that  Heaven  would  reward  them 
if  they  could  st*ale  the  horrid  precipices, 
and  by  surprise  seize  the  castle,  and  secure 
the  few  nho  remauied  m  it;  and  these 
brave  men  accordingly  got  into  it  unob- 
served, killed  ooe  of  the  men,  and  secured 
tbe  others  for  a  public  example.  The 
castle  wag  then  demolished,  and  a  hermit- 
age called  St.  Dimas.  or  the  Good  Thief, 
buUt  upua  the  ^pot.

It  II  sarrounded  on  all  sides  by  drend* 
ful  precipices,  and  ia  entered  on  the 
eaai  aide  by  a  drawbridge,  which, 
when  drawn  up,  renders  a^sc^a  im- 
pose ibte. 

It  is  difficult  to  say  at  what  time  tbia 
mountain  became  consecrated  to  be- 
come the  babitation  of  recluaodf  but  it 
is  extrernely  probable  that  it  was  very 
early  in  the  Chriiitian  era.  The  wild 
and  singular  legend  of  John  Guerin 
gives  UB  a  tradition  which  goca  back 
to  the  ninth  century,  and,  as  it  reUtes 
to  the  devotion  towards  the  image  of 
the  Virgin  preserved  here,  it  properly 
belongs  to  the  early  hlatory  of  Our 
Lady  of  Montserrat, 

John  Guerin  was  a  holy  hermit,  who 
lud  chosen  for  hia  seclusion  the  wil* 
demess  of  ^lontserrat.  The  fame  of 
Ma  piety,  however,  and  of  his  austerity, 
could  not  be  concealed  from  the  world 
he  had  renou  n  ced .  H  e  w  orked  miracles, 
and  was  particularly  potent  in  ejecting 
devils.  The  Count  of  Barcelona  had 
A  daughter  of  Buch  surpassinp  beauty, 
that  no  one  could  look  upon  her  with* 
out  becoming  enamoured.  But  she 
became  possessed  of  a  devil.  All  the 
exordsts  came  to  drive  him  away,  but 
in  vain;  he  baffled  them  all.  la  de» 
spair,  the  father  took  her  to  the  holy 
hermit,  whose  fame  and  potency  against 
the  powers  of  darkness  bad  reiicbcd  his 
cars.  John  Guerin  betook  himself  to 
prayer,  and  the  evil  spirit  was  ejected 
Mttci'iog  wild  cries. 

The  father  was  overjoyc<l ;  but,  fear- 
ful that  the  fiend  niignt  return,  he 
thought  he  had  better  leave  hia  daugh- 
ter in  the  bands  of  so  pious  a  man,  and 
one  so  powerful  against  the  emissaries 
of  Satan.  Some  writers  say  that  SutJin 
bad  taken  up  his  abode  in  a  grotto 
near  the  cell  of  Ttm^rin,  and  under  the 
form  of  a  hermit  bad  gained  his  con- 
fidence. Guerin  became  tempted  by 
the  beauty  of  the  princess,  and  his  in* 
sidious  neighbour  urged  him  onwards 
to  the  moral  precipice  oe  was  approach- 
ing. In  short,  Guerin,  oVr-mastered 
by  a  wicked  passion  or  the  wiles  of 
Batan,  violated  the  person  of  the  youn^ 
princess,  and  afterwards,  to  conceal 
nia  crime,  cut  her  throat,  and  buried 
the  body  under  a  rock.  Sbatne  and 
remorse  pursued  him.  lie  made  a  pil- 
oniDtge  to  Kome^  threw  himself  at  the 
Jeet  of  the  Pone^  and  confessed  his 
crime.    The  holy  father,  struck  with 


Our  Lady  ofMoniMerraL 


[June, 


bofTor,  commanded  him  u  a  penance 
to  go  on  all  fours  back  to  MontserriU ; 
to  uve  alone ;  to  speak  to  no  one ;  iknd 
never  to  raise  himself  on  his  feet,  until 
an  infant  of  three  months'  old  should 
announce  to  biia  the  pardon  of  Ueaven 
for  his  crime. 

He  obeyed :  and  for  seven  long  years 
liveii  in  the  midst  of  the  woods  on  the 
mountain  with  savage  beasts,  walking 
and  feeding  like  them.  One  day  it 
chanced  that  the  Count  of  BarceToaa 
was  hunting  on  the  mountain  of  Mont* 
serrat,  when  bis  followers  found  in  a 
cavern  a  creature  in  the  human  form, 
but  hairy  bkc  a  bear,  and  moving  on 
all* fours.  They  took  bim  alive,  and 
led  him  to  Barcelona,  where  be  was 
chained 'Up  in  a  stable  of  the  caaUc* 

Some  days  after,  the  Count  made  m 
grand  festival  on  the  occasion  of  a  son 
being  born  to  blm.  The  guests  beird 
speak  of  the  singular  monster,  and 
asked  to  sec  it.  It  was  brought  into 
the  banqueting  hall,  and  the  infant  mt 
the  same  time  enter^ed  in  tlie  arms  of 
its  nurse.  No  sooner  had  the  babe 
cast  its  eyes  on  the  crenture,  than  it 
said,  in  a  loud  voice,  '*  Rise,  brother 
John  Guerin ;  God  hath  forgiven  tbj 
sins.'* 

The  astonishment  at  this  murademay 
be  imagined,  and  Guerin  was  caUe<l 
upon  to  relate  his  history.  With  % 
groan  be  declared  his  sins,  and  threw 
himself  upon  the  mercy  of  the  Count; 
who  said,  *^  Since  God  has  pardoned 
you,  I  do  with  all  my  heart ;  bat  tell 
me  where  you  have  buried  my  daugh- 
ter, that  I  may  inter  her  in  the  tomb 
of  her  ancestors."  Guerin  went,  and 
pointed  out  the  spot.  They  dog  up 
the  earth,  when,  behold  I  the  girl  was 
found  tf/irtf,  and  of  ravishing  beauty* 
There  was,  however,  a  mark  about  her 
neck  like  a  scarlet  cord,  to  r  *'  *  ■  fui 
place  where  her  throat  h:<  r. 

She  related  to  her  father  th*u  ^.iiL  m-ly 
Virgin,  to  whom  nhe  always  recom- 
mended herself,  hnd  preserved  her  thus 
miraculously  in  the  bosom  of  the  earth. 
A  convent  of  nuns  was  accordingly 
erected  by  her  desii^e  on  the  spot,  the 
princess  was  made  abbess,  and  Guerin 
confessor  and  director. 

It  may  be  as  well  to  observe,  that 
there  are  many  versions  of  thi?  wild 
st/>ry  to  be  found  in  the  collections  of 
**  Contcs  Dcvots,'*  and  one,  cnnttiining 
very  many  points  of  reseuiblauce,  is

In  fact,  the  temptations  to  which  re- 
el a»e<  were  subject  from  the  wiles  of 
Satan  was  a  fruitful  themo  for  diactts- 
siOQ  Bmoogst  medimval  writcra* 

The  prot4?ction  of  the  Virgin,  thus 
manifested  at  Montserrat,  was  still 
further  to  be  exprewed ;  for  about 
this  time,  or  perhaps  as  a  sequel  to  this 
events  shepherds  tending  their  Hocks 
perceived  on  several  successive  nijyhts 
an^ls,  surrounded  with  a  brilliant 
light,  singing  on  the  summit  of  the 
rock  where  the  body  of  the  young  girl 
had  been  found  alive.  These  things  at 
lenjrth  came  to  the  cars  of  the  Bishop 
ofManrcsaf  who^  having  exiimine<l  into 
the  facts,  determineil  to  set  out  far 
Moutserrat  himself,  which  he  did  with 
a  large  concourse  of  clergy  and  nobi- 
lity. At  the  same  hour  tiie  light  np* 
pearcd  as  usuol,  the  same  sweet  soundf,

of  Lugar,  a  Utile  vilLige  not  far  distant 
anxious  1^  behold  the  pro<ligy,  caane 
also,  and  determined  to  diirib  up  to 
the  ppot  whence  the  shi I  '  '  ;  ij^sued. 
It  wuti  a  work  of  gr*  \y  and 

labour,  but  they  were  guioea  in  their 
search  by  an  exquisite  fragrance  to  a 
eavc  hollowed  out  of  a  rock,  and  there 
Ihey  found  an  imago  of  Oqt  Lntly  and

Uoora,  by  the  ministry  of  angelis  lo 
preserve  it  from  insult  and  desecraiion. 

Having  achieved  this  pious  under- 
taking,  the  labourers  calle<l  out  to  those 
at  the  foot  of  ihe  rock  announcing  their 
discovery,  which  was  hailed  by  the  a»* 
•embly  with  shouts  of  tbankagiving. 
The  bishop  approached,  and  reverently 
received  the  holy  image  in  his  arma, 
and  a  procession  was  formed  with  the 
intent  to  carry  it  in  triumph  to  Uie 
city  of  Manresa.  But  a  new  prodigy 
took  place.  They  had  hardly  reache«l 
tbe  mtddle  of  tlie  mountain  on  their 
depoent,  near  the  foot  of  some  of  the 
moil  elevated  j^eaks,  when  behold  it 
waa  impoifibla  to  move  tbe  image  a 
atep  f uithcr.  So  th  e  bishop,  peroei  vi  ng 
this  new  sign,  at  once  knew  that  it  waa 
the  wish  of  the  **  Queen  of  Ueaven  " 
that  the  Image  should  bare  remain^  and 
a  chapel  be  erected  to  her  honour. 


Tltis  was  the  spot  whore  the  monastery 
ta  now  fixed,  and  which  has  had  so 
world* wide  a  celebrity  for  the  possea* 
alon  of  this  miraculous  treasure* 

Tlie  fortunes  of  Montscrrat  were 
scarcely  interrupted,  and  its  history 
presenti  us  with  a  long  list  of  bene- 
fuctorB  continually  pouring  in  richea 
to  its  treasury.  The  most  noble  of 
Europe  vied  in  their  devotion  towarda 
tho  sacred  shrine,  and  the  bare  enu- 
mcr.ition  of  bernuests  would  weary  the 
reader.  Ferdinand  of  Castile,  and  Isa- 
bella of  Aragon,  were  among  the  most 
di»ttnguish«?d  of  the  Spanish  sovereigns 
in  the  bst  of  benefactors,  and  it  waa  to 
their  pious  zeal  that  the  convent  was 
indebted  for  the  foundation  of  «  new 
and  more  extensive  church.  They 
visited  the  shrine  with  great  pomp  in 
1492,  and  offbretl  a  silver  lump  to  tho 
Virgin  weighing  25  marciis,  and  en- 
dowed it  with  2Q0  ducats.  They  ap- 
pointed also  from  among  the  mouk.i 
the  firat  archbishop  of  the  Indies,  one 
Fra  Bernardo  lioil,  with  twelve  monks 
aa  companions,  who  constituted  the 
tirst  apostolic  missionaries  to  the  New 
World.  Philip  IL  and  Philip  lU.  wer« 
both  especial  benefactors,  and  the  visit 
of  the  latter,  on  11th  July,  1599,  waa 
one  of  peculiar  solemnity.  Tbe  Kintf 
had  come  for  the  especial  purpose  « 
asi^istlng  at  the  translation  of  the  vene- 
rable image  irom  tbe  old  church  to 
the  new  one,  now  completed.  Ho  re*

on  one  naid  a  Tisit  to  all  the  her-

Baptist^  and  returning  much  fatigued

henoits  having  heard  mass,  and  con-

tivper,  with  an  escuclieon  of  his  arms, 
ami  followed  bj  bis  nobles,  joined  the 
procossion,  and  a  hymn  in  honour  of 
the  Virgin  was  sung.  After  this  was 
over,  the  King  took  the  itnage  of  the 
Virgin  in  his  arms,  and  placed  it  on 
the  hl'^h  altiir;  theo»  taking  bia  taper, 
he  fell  on  his  knees  before  it  in  prayer, 
which  histed  several  minutes.  This 
ceremony  over,  it  was  then  removed 
to  the  niche  appropriated  for  It  bj  the 
nionks* 
Don  John  of  Austria,  the  hero  of  Le- 

Eanto,  was  a  benefactor  to  the  shnne, 
avin^  visitc^l  it  as  a  pilgrim,  and  pre- 
sented a.  lamp  of  silver  weighing  thirty 
murks.  lie,  although  only  thirty -three 
yeai-B  of  age  at  hh  death,  had  become  bo 
much  m  love  with  the  hermit  life  as  to 
have  intcnderl  to  end  his  days  amongst 
the  wild  and  lofty  peaks  of  Montserrat. 
After  his  deutb  a  sumptuous  monu- 
ment was  erected  to  his  memory  in  the 
monastic  church.  Of  other  notabilities 
who  paid  devotions  to  this  shrine  by 
bene  tactions,  were  Louis  XIV.  of 
France,  and  his  wife  Blaria-Theresa* 
Among  the  long  list  are  also  the  names 
of  the  Doke  of  Alva,  notorious  for  his 
atrocities  in  the  Low  Countries,  and 
the  Duke  of  iledina  Ck;li,  who  was 
one  of  the  leaders  of  the  Spanisih 
Armada*

It  was  presented  by  Prince  Charles  of 
Austria,  **who,  with  his  consort,  Chris- 
tiana of  Brunswick,  visited  Mon(?<errat 
in  1703,  and  having  kissed  ihe  Virpin'fi

popcj?,  cardinals,  bi&hopSi  and  almost 
every  order  of  society,  were  represented 
amongst  the  benefactors  of  this  shrine, 
ftud  the  enunierution  of  its  incalculable 
riches  reads  like  a  leaf  from  a  fairy 
tale  or  the  Arabian  Nights  Entertain- 
ment. The  imtigc  of  the  Virgin  had 
four  crowns,  two  of  polid  gold,  two 
pUled  with  goM,  richly  set  with  dia- 
nionds*  One  of  them  had  two  thousand 
five  hundred  emeralds  in  it ;  but  the

and  his  conralcd^cncc  tedioas.  The 
actiTe  spirit  of  a  man  of  Iwenty'Dine 
ye&ra  chafed  at  Ihis  inert  life,  and  he 
sought  consolation  for  his  compelled 
ennui  in  books,  of  which,  however,  at 
this  period,  he  knew  but  little  nsore 
than  what  had  guided  hh  early  as- 
pirations— ^the  romances  of  chivalry. 
Xhose  brought  to  him  now  were  the 
lives  of  heroes  of  another  sorb — the 
legends  of  the  sainta.  The  effect  upon 
hia  ardent  spirit  was  to  effect  a  change, 
which  nevertheless  was  still  tinctured 
with  romance,  and  he  took  the  resolu- 
tion to  dub  himself  *^  Knijht  of  the 
Holy  Virgin/*  As  soon  as  his  wounds 
permitted,  he  mounted  his  horse  and 
paid  a  visit  of  ceremony  to  his  relative 
the  Duke  of  Kajara.  Thence,  dis- 
missing his  attendants,  he  set  off  alone 
to  the  sacred  shrine  of  Montserrat,  full 
of  hij*  new  project,  and  with  intent  to 
keep  the  "  watch  of  his  armour"  before 
the  sacred  image  itself;  to  oifer  up  his 
earthly  weapons,  and  receive  others  of 
a  spiritual  character,  more  fitted  for 
his  new  career. 

As  he  journeyed  by  the  way,  he  was 
encountered  by  a  Moorish  knight  \ 
they  aaluted  each  other,  and  proceeded 
together  on  the  same  route,  Mont- 
fferrat  nppeared  in  sight,  and  Ignatius 
having  oWrved  that  he  was  thither 
bound  on  pilgrimage,  it  led  to  a  dia- 
cuasion,  and  tinally  to  a  dispute.  Vows 
were  forgotten;  and  the  *' Knight  of 
the  Virgin'*  had  his  a  word  drawn,  pro- 
voking the  infidel  to  mortal  combat. 
The  tatter,  however,  was  not  anxious 
to  encounter  so  forward  a  champion, 
and  chone  rather  to  trust  to  his  fleet 
coureer.  He  was  hotly  pursued,  untU 
Ignaims  nrrested  himseU"  at  the  meet- 
ing of  two  roads,  one  of  which  led  to 
Montserrat,  the  other  from   it»    His 


vow  now  came  up  before  him,  and 
brought  on  a  revulsion  of  feeling ;  he 
no  longer  pursued  the  Moor,  but  has- 
tened onw«rds  to  Montserrat.  Here, 
having  made  confession,  he,  according 
to  the  custom  of  chivalry,  passed  one 
night  in  watching  his  arms  before  the 
altar  of  the  Virgin,  constantly  in  prayer, 
and  devoting  himself  as  a  knight  to 
Jesus  and  his  mother  Mary,  in  the 
morning  he  hung  his  sword  to  a  pillar 
near  the  altar,  as  a  sign  of  renuncia- 
tion of  earthly  warfare;  gave  his  horse 
to  the  monastery,  and  his  clothes  to 
the  poor,  and  habited  in  a  humble 
veatment  of  linen  letl  Montserrat  on 
his  new  mission. 

As  yet  nothing  has  been  said  of  the 
image  itself;  it  appears  to  be,  how- 
ever, a  seated  ligure,  holding  the  child 
Jesus  on  the  lap  in  front*  Without 
very  careful  and  accurate  drawings  it 
would  be  impossible  to  say  much  with 
certainty  about  its  age^  but  those  who 
have  seen  it  describe  the  features  aa 
regular  and  handsome,  which  militateB 
against  an  antiquity  earlier  than  the 
thirteenth  century^  and  perhaps  a  rigid 
inquiry  would  tend  to  fix  it  near  to 
the  same  period  which  brought  that  of 
Lorctto  to  Italy.  It  is  extremely  im- 
probable that  any  earlier  date  can  be 
ascribed  to  it,  still  less  that  the  ninth 
century  was  capable  of  producing  a 
figure  bearing  any  indication  of  female 
beauty.  lis  beij^ht  appears  to  be 
that  generally  observed  in  miraculous 
images  of  the  Virgin.  Its  colour  is 
black,  or  in  the  Spanish  tongue  **  Mo- 
reno,** or  Moorittn ;  and  it  may  here 
be  worthy  of  remark  that  some  images 
of  the  Virgin  are  styled  "  The  Moorish 
Queen  of  heaven,"

THIS  seems  to  be  a  very  simple, 
unprofessional  piece  of  biograpny; 
brought  out  with  an  afiectionate  desire 
to  fulfil  the  duties  of  a  loving  friend 
and  neighbour,  and  growing,  we  be- 
lievCt  even  unexpectedly,  from  the 
busiuess  of  executorship*     AYe  cannot 


pretend  to  say  it  is  all  that  those  who 
knew  the  good  and  most  agreeable 
woman  whose  memorials  are  here  col- 
lected could  desire.  Sufficient  lime  has 
not  been  allowed  for  selection  from 
many  probably  existing  letters,  and  a

Memoriah  of  Amelia  Opie* 


[Jane, 


theToliimc  had  Ibo  separate  iinpTesdioDs 
of  some  two  or  three  able  judges,  who 
knew  Airs.  Opic  at  different  periods  of 
her  career,  been  naked  for  and  ob» 
tained.  Those  who  remember  the  com- 
inumcations  of  Mr.  Basil  JJontagu 
and  the  liev.  Sydney  Smith  to  the  Me- 
moirs of  Sir  James  Maekinloshf  wiil 
know  what  we  mean.  There  mu?t  surely 
ixave  been  some,  though  perhaj^:*  but 
few,  among  these  frienda  who  were  at 
liberty  nud  leisure  to  give  the  rcmi- 
niBcences  we  desire.  The  sinmlicity 
and  freshness  of  Mis^  Brlghtivell  s  own 
loving  testim«>ny  to  the  iiiflueuco  of 
her  aged  friend  upon  all  around  her, 
is,  meanwhile,  botli  aCeetin^  and  en- 
gaging; and  there  ia  conalderable  fit- 
ness in  this  |ireparution  of  the  memo- 
rials  of  90  persevering  a  resident  in  the 
city  of  her  birth,  by  a  U>wns woman. 
Few  people  have  felt  local  attachments 
more  strongly  than  Mrs-  Opie,  It  was 
a  part  of  her  religion  to  cloa\e  to  the 
seenes  of  her  early  youth,  to  her  fa- 
thers grave,  to  the  meeting-house 
where  she  worsliipjjed,  and  to  the 
private  homes^  within  and  without  the 
city,  where  her  best  Ibelings  had  been 
exercised.  She  had  bad  a  home  in 
London,  and  id  ways  entered  the  great 
metropolis  with  pleasure;  but  it  did 
not  satisfy  her  fully.  There  is  some- 
thing very  winning  ami  very  respceta- 
ble  m  these  provincial  attachments. 
We  feel  as  we  read  that  her3  was  no 
mere  dreain  of  society,  but  a  practical, 
BO0ial*life,  lo  which  lew  cikix  pcrlectly 
atUin  amid  the  scJitUring  and  di7erse 
claims  of  an  enormous  capital. 

In  a  short  preface,  Mr,  iirighlwdl 
thus  give*  the  history  of  the  eompib- 
tion. 

Kh  the  executor  of  Mrs,  OiJic,  her  papers 
nnd  tetters  came  into  my  hnnila  ;  and  tt 
devolvi-d  on  me  to  dccirie  in  what  way  to 
dispose  of  ihera.  There  had  becD,  I  be- 
lieve, a  general  imiiression  amoog^  her 
friends  ibnt  8lie  would  hcraelf  prepare  no 
accuuat  of  her  life  ;  htitj  nltlionKh  she 
Mcins  to  have  made  Bome  efl'orts  iit  com- 
meacing  the  task,  aud  the  siibjcct  was 
often  affectionatclj  rccomTneiided^  and 
etea  urged  upon  hcr^  she  has  left  it  a 
matter  of  regret  to  her  friends  (and  espe- 
ciallj  so  to  the  compilers  of  these  memoirt) 
that  no  **  ftUtobiagra|ihy  *'  was  found 
amoog  her  papers.  Nor  did  Mrs*  Opie 
crcr  distinctly  gtrc  any  direetioQS  as  to 
the  publiration  of  her  MS8,,  or  any  me- 
moir of  her  life;  but  we  have,  we  tbink, 


stroag  presumptive  evidence  tbat  the  an* 
ttcipatedf  if  not  desired  ^  that  &t  should  ho 
dooe. 

Not  long  before  she  died,  she  said  that 
hcF  executor  would  have  no  light  task 
with  her  papers  j  and  a  few  days  before 
she  breathed  her  last^  when  she  could  ao 
longer  hold  a  pen,  she  called  her  attend^ 
ant  to  her,  and  dictated  a  most  touching 
and  affectionate  farewell  address  to  me  a&d 
my  daughter,  directing  the  delivery  of 
▼arious  small  articles  as  remembranoea  t* 
a  few  most  intimate  frieuda,  and  rrf|iiMt* 
ing  us  to  complete  what  sbo  had  left  un- 
done ;  adding)  that  she  had  ooufidence  ia 
our  judgment,  and  believed  tliat  wc  should 
**  dw  everythiog  for  the  bc*t.*' 

It  has  been  with  an  earnest  desire  to 
jitstify  this  trmt,  and  to  pcrftct,  as  far  st 
In  our  powcrp  that  which  <<he  had  in  fiu^ 
commenced,  bat  left  incomplete,  that  these 
pages  hnve  been  put  to  the  press* 

It  will  be  seen,  in  the  coarse  «f  Chin 
memoirs,  that  the  materials  from  whM 
they  are  compiled  are  principally  papers, 
letters,  and  diaries,  of  Mrs.  Opie' a  own 
writing;  a  few  letters  premured  by  her, 
and  judged  to  be  of  general  interest,  and 
bciiring  upon  her  history,  we  have  ihoui^t 
it  well  to  give.  It  would  have  been  no 
difPiciilt  tflsk  to  have  greaMy  ex. tended 
these  memoirs,  had  it  bectt  deemed  ex- 
pedient to  make  a  free  use  of  the  letten 
received  by  her,  and  of  which  a  very  las^fe 
number  were  fonml  among  her  papenf 
but  we  bave  not  felt  oursdves  at  lilieity 
tn  adopt  such  a  course^  and  we  tmat  thm 
will  be  found  in  this  volunus  few  (may  wa 
say  we  hope  no)  violations  of  prirata  tthd 
contideutial  communicalioas* 

Upon  the  last  paragraph  we  would 
venture  to  remark,  that  no  doubt  Mr. 
Briwhtwell  is  quite  right  in  not  uainr 
letierts,  nnpermilted;  but  tbat  hv 
scniple  neeil  surely  not  have  apph'ed 
to  the  use  tii  any  addressed  by  Mra. 
Opie  herself  to  her  friendf,  if  ib«jr 
gave  their  consent, 

^Ve  will  not  dwell  on  the  earliest 
pa^cs  of  the  work,  excepting  to  state 
that  i\Irs,  Oj»ie*s  father,  I)r.  James 
Aldcrsou,  was  one  ot^  six  children,  of 
whom  one  brother  was  a  iih^cM>:,^t| 
at  Hull,  another,  Uobert,  r, 

and  another,  Thomae,  a  nv  ,._  .it 
Newcastle*  Of  the  sisters,  one  was 
married  to  Mr.  WckhI house ;  at>ailijer« 
tenderly  cherished  and  nursed  in  c3t- 
tren^e  old  age  by  Mrs.  Opie,  died  tringte) 
at  Norwich,  in  the  yenr  1848.  By  h<>r

&nd  eai*lier,  residing  for  ceD tunes  in 
tlie  nei»bbourhood  of  Holt,  Norfolk. 
Amelia  Brjggs^  however,  the  mother 
of  Mrs,  Opie,  waa  born  in  India,  where 
Lcr  futbcr  was  a  writer  in  the  Com- 
pao v's  service ;  both  lie  and  bis  wife 
died  young,  leaving  the  one  orpban 
girl  to  be  l>r ought  over  by  a  faith fut 
Hindo<j  nurse  to  Englandi  there  to  be 
cherisbed  and  retired  by  her  father** 
family,  and  finally  to  become  the  wife 
of  Dr.  James  Alderman ^and  the  mother 
of  Amelia  Opie.  She  lived  till  Mrs* 
Opie  wa5  jufit  fifteen — 

Then,  after  yearn  of  patient  piin. 
That  tender  wife  and  mother  died, 

were  her  daughter^  after  -  written 
words  respecting  her.  The  traces  of 
ber  influence  over  Amelia  arc  not  in- 
signifiuant.  There  are  a  few  pages  of 
autobiography  too  lon^  to  be  extmcted, 
and  not  to  be  abridged  witbont  injury^ 
which  convey  the  idea  of  her  mothers 
tenderness  and  firmness.  In  i hem,  Mrs. 
Opie  has  jotted  down  some  of  her  early 
recollect iunsj  indicative  of  the  begin- 
nings of  a  character— imaginative,  sen- 
timental, and  injpubive — also  very 
tender  and  benevolent*  The  terrors 
of  her  childhood  were  greats  but  five 
pre<}ominated — b!ack  beetles,  frogs,  a 
skeleton,  a  bl^ick  man,  and  madmen  in 
general,  seem  to  have  lianntcd  her.  In 
due  lime,  and  by  her  molher*s  assidu- 
ous attention,  all  these  great  terrors 
were  mastered,  and  even  converted, 
in  ono  case,  into  objects  of  e3]>ecial  in- 
terest and  affection ;  insomnch  that  the 
little  girl  made  frequent  visits  to  Bed- 
lam— not  of  course  to  lis  interior,  but 
to  the  outward  walls;  to  lling  balf- 
pence  and  nosegays  to  her  friends 
among  the  poor  lunatics, and  her  allow- 
once  of  podiet-money  was  in  constant 
demand  for  this  class  of  suflerers. 
Wisely  enough,  the  parents  checked 
the  exuberance  of  her  charity,  find- 
ing the  excitement  to  be  injurious; 
"ior,"  snys  Mrs.  Opie,  "  it  was  evident 
that  I  was  proud  of  their  acquaintance 
and  of  my  own  attachment  to  them,** 
and  "  I  was  continually  talking  of  what 
I  had  said  to  the  mad  folks  tuid  they 
to  me,**  Prohibition  was  followed  up 
by  salutary  diversion  of  the  thoughts, 
in  the  shape  of  dancing-school  and 
French  lessons ;  and  yet  the  image  of 
one  sad  hcQ  seen  in  Norwich  Bedlam 
haunted  her  for  many  a  year,  and  WHS 


H      one  sad  ft 
^l     haunted  1 


present  with  her  when  she  wrote  ber 
"  Father  and  Daughter." 

The  mother,  who  seems  both  to  have 
understood  the  child  and  to  have  bad 
right  and  healthful  ideas  of  education, 
must  have  been  a  loss  indeed  to  such 
a  girl  1  Surely,  had  there  been  the 
guardianship  of  a  mature  and  sensible 
woman,  those  early  and  somewhat  in- 
decorous visita  to  the  ttisi  pntts  courts 
would  hardly  have  been  permitted.  It 
IS  true  she  went  at  first  accompanied 
by  a  female ;  but  the  second  time  the 
enterprise  was  alone,  and  bold  enough, 
it  must  be  confessed*  The  judge,  Sir 
Henry  Gould,  seeing  her  eagerness, 
ordered  one  of  the  servants  of  tho 
court  to  **miike  way  for  that  young 
lady,**  and,  having  thus  taken  her  place 
on  the  bench,  it  became  her  almost 
constant  practice  to  attend  the  courts, 
except  when  the  trials  were  likely  to  in- 
volve tbcpunishment  of  death.  Other- 
wise, through  her  life,  she  scarcely 
ever  missed  attendance  during  Nor- 
wich assizes,  and  has  left  her  thoughts 
on  the  subject  in  an  unfinished  paper, 
entitled  "Reminiscences  of  Judges* 
Courts,"  written  in  1844.  The  assize 
week,  she  says,  "  has  always  possessed 
for  me  an  attraction  of  nn  intellectual 
kind,  which  I  still  feel  irresistible — a 
love  for  whiub  has  *  grown  with  my 
growth  and  strengthened  with  my 
strength/"  In  the  year  1838,  when 
she  was  in  her  sixty* eighth  year,  she 
speaks  of  being  in  court  eleven  hours 
one  day,  and  from  nine  o*clock  to  seven 
on  the  next.  And,  some  years  later, 
inviting  a  friend  to  accompany  her, 
and  urging  attendance  at  nine  o  clock, 
she  says, — 

I  fear  thou  art  a  luybones ;  but,  in- 
deed, by  ten  o'clock,,  1  have  ofteu  seen 
the  beat  pUces  liUed.  Often  (how  of  tea  1) 
both  as  a  young  aud  old  womaa  have  I 
been  io  that  court  by  bulf-paft  leven  ia  the 
morniog^ — was  tbiB  time  last  year.— -A.  O. 

This  in  18481  but  we  most  return 
far,  far  back.  There  are  no  traces  in 
this  volume  of  any  governess  or  female 
companion  in  her  fiither*3  bouse.  At 
fifteen  she  must  have  been  placed  in  a 
conspicuous  nohltion,  and  was  both 
niistreag  of  tlie  household  at  home, 
and  mingling  in  gay  society  abroad. 
Just  at  that  period,  indeed,  Norwich 
was,  asMi^  Brightwell  says,  nearly  at 
its  beat  as  to  worldly  prosperity.  The 
French  Bevolution  had  not  disturbed

One  firm  and  most  useful  femnlo 
friendship  Amelia  had  formc^d  in  Nor- 
wich, that  of  the  late  Mrs,  John  Tay- 
Iqc — the  womtm  of  **■  lit^h  thou^Iits  nnd

infltierice,  mort!  ur  les3  favourable  io

of  her  youth.  Most  happily,  many  of 
her  own  Iftters  to  Mrs.  Taylor  liivQ

moat  valuable  portion«  of  the  book.

heart,  that  my  own  prospects  for  life 
night  probably  be  changed  and  darkened 
by  the  result*  To  such  a  height  had 
purty*spirit  reached  on  both  sides,  in  my 
native  city  and  elsewhere,  that  even  inno* 
cent  men  were  accused  of  treasonable  in- 
tentions and  practices,  who  talked,  when 
eicitcd  by  coutraiictian,  the  fearful  things

i  In  1797,  the  criiid  of  her  own  fate 

I       wiu  Appronching ;  Mr.  Opie  bad  seen 
I*       her,  and  almost  immedjAlely  became 
her  lover. 

Ttie  ftm  time  Mr.  Opte  lair  bts  futare 
wtfff  wai  at  an  eveDing  party,  at  the  hooie 
of  one  of  her   ear!y  rrien<(B  ;  among  the 

Sfoeatt  aasembtedf  were  Mr.  Opie,  and  a 
unily  perBonally  known  to  the  writer  of 
thete  Memoirs.  Some  of  thoie  present 
were  rather  eagerly  expecting  the  arrival 
of  Miss  Alderson;  but  the  evening  was 
wearing  away,  and  a  till  »he  did  not  ap- 
pear At  length  the  door  was  flung  dpeo, 
and  she  entered,  bright  and  ami  ling, dressed 
in  a  robe  of  blue,  her  neck  and  arms  hare; 
and  on  her  head  a  small  bonnet,  placed  in 
somewhat  coquettish  stjie,  sideways,  and 
Barmoonted  by  «  ptuine  of  three  white 
feathers.  Her  beautiful  hair  hung  in  rich 
waving  tresses  over  her  shoulders;  her 
face  was  kindling  with  pleasure  at  sight  of 
her  old  friends ;  and  her  whole  appear* 
ance  was  animated  and  glowing.  At  the 
time  she  came  in,  Opie  was  sitting  on  a 
sofa,  beside  Mr.  F.,  who  had  been  saying, 
from  time  to  time,  *'  Amelia  is  coming ; 
Amelia  will  surely  come.  Why  is  she  not 
hpre  ?"  and  who«e  cy©8  were  turned  in  her 
directinn.  He  was  interrupted  by  his  com* 

■  panion  eof^erly  esdaiming,  "  Who  is  that  ? 
Who  is  that  ?*'  and  hastily  rising,  he 
pressed  forward,  to  be  introduced  to  the 
fair  object  whose  sudden  appearance  hsd 
so  impressed  him.  He  was  evidently 
smitten  ;  charmed,  at  fir^t  sight,  and,  as 
she  ssvs,  *'  almost  from  my  first  arriv^al 
Mr.  Opie  became  my  a?owed  lover/' 

She  told  him  that  *^'  hh  chances  of 
aucceaa  were  as  one  in  a  thousand ;" 
and,  as  we  are  left  to  infer,  she  was 
herself  far  from  heart-whole.  "I  was 
ingenuous  with  him  on  principle,  and 
1  told  him  my  tjituaticiu,  and  tfje  state 
of  my  heart.  He  said  he  should  still 
perstitt,  and  would  risk  all  consequences 
to  his  own  peace ;  and  so  he  did  and 
doea,and  I  have  not  resolution  to  forbid 
his  vistta/*  So  the  matter  went  on, 
something  like  a  fate,  till  the  lover's 
intense  eagerness  prevailed.  She  re- 
turned to  Norwich,  but  was  married  in 
London,  her  father  accompanying,  on 
tlie  following  May  8th,  1798.  There 
is  a  fragment  of  the  last  letter  from 
Opie  before  the  marriage,  preserved 
(bow  memorable!)  through  the  whole 
remaining  forty-five  years  of  Vtfe^  It 
thus  concludes : — 

To  love  thee  much  better  than  I  did,  is, 
I  think.  impo«i»ible;  but  my  heart  springs 
forward  at  the  thought  of  thy  near  ap>

love,  and  guard  thee  up  to  thy  fond, 
auxioui,  devoted,  J.  O. 

The  correspondence  with  Mrs.  Tay- 
lor continues  during  the  period  of  her 
married  life.  Writing  in  Jan-  1800, 
she  says — 

I  have  led  a  most  hnppy  and  delightful 
life  since  my  return,  and  tn  the  whole  two 
months  have  not  been  out  more  than  four 
times  ;  bo  spouse  and  I  hod  uo  tiiuabhles 
about  visiting,  and  that  is  the  only  thing 
we  ever  quarrel  about.  If  I  would  stay  at 
home  for  ever,  I  believe  he  would  be 
merry  from  morning  to  night ;  and  be  a 
lover  more  than  a  husband  1  He  had  a 
mind  to  accompany  me  to  an  assembly  in 
Nottingham  Place,  bat  Mrs.  Sharpe  (a 
most  amiable  woman)  frightened  him  by 
decUring  he  should  dance  with  her^  if 
he  did. 

What  the  friendships  of  dissipated 
women  are,  Mrs,  R,  H.'s  going  to  a  ball, 
while  poor  U,  T.  was  dying,  sufficiently 
proves,  I  remember  with  satufaction 
that  I  saw  her,  and  abooV  hands  with  her, 
at  the  November  bull.  Indeed  she  had  a 
heart ;  and  I  can't  help  recollecting  that 
when  I  had  the  scarlet  fever  she  called  on 
me  every  day,  regardless  of  danger,  and 
eat  at  the  foot  of  my  bed.  Besides,  she 
was  the  friend  of  twenty  years,  and  com- 
paatoo  of  my  childhood,  and  I  feel,  the 
older  I  grow,  the  more  tenderly  I  cling  to 
the  scenes,  end  recollections,  and  compa^ 
nions  of  my  early  hourt.  When  I  now 
look  at  Mr.  Bruckner*s  black  cap,  roy 
ineniory  gets  astride  on  the  tassel  of  it, 
and  off  she  gallops  at  a  very  pleasant  rate  ; 
wooden  desks,  green  bags,  blotted  books, 
inked  hands,  faces,  and  gowas,  rise  in 
array  before  me.  1  see  Mrs*  Bcecroft 
^Miss  Diion  1  should  say)  with  her  plump 
good-humoured  face,  laughing  till  she 
loses  her  ejes,  and  shakes  the  whole  form; 
but,  I  must  own,  the  roost  welcome  objects 
that  the  hoofs  of  memory's  hobby-horse 
kick  up,  are  the  great  B/s,  or  boas,  on 
my  exercises  I  I  do  not  choose  to  remem- 
ber how  often  I  was  marked  for  being 
idle.  ...  So  you  have  had  riots,  I  am 
glad  they  are  over.  Mrs.  Adair  called  on 
me  this  morning,  and  she  tells  me  that 
Charles  Harvey  was  tern  hi  j  alarmed  after 
be  had  committed  CoL  Montgomery.  A 
fine  idea  this  gives  one  of  the  state  of  a 
town,  where  a  man  is  alarmed  at  having 
done  his  duty  ! 

I  am  fery  much  afinaid  my  spouse  will 
not  live  long  f  be  has  got  a  fit  of  tidi- 
ness on  him ;  sod  yesterday  evening  and 
this  evening,  he  bat  employed  himself  in

Memoriah  of  Amelia  Opie 


[June, 


that  almost  «very  man  wai  beau  and 
Blnveiij  at  some  time  of  hb  life.  Charka 
Fox  once  wore  pink  heels  ?  now  he  has  a  a 
iin powdered  crop.  And  I  expect  that,  m 
my  husband  has  been  a  sloveo  hlthertOf 
be  wiU  be  a  beau  in  future  ;  for  he  U  bo 
pleaaed  with  his  handy  works,  and  capers 
aboutp  and  »af  s,  **  Look  there  J  how  neat ! 
and  how  prettily  1  have  disponed  the 
things!  Did  you  ever  Bee  the  like?" 
Certainly  1  never  did  where  be  was  before. 
Oh  1  he  will  certainly  be  a  beau  in  time. 
Past  ten  o*clock  !  I  must  now  aay  fare- 
well ;  but  let  roe  own  that  I  missed  you 
terribly  when  1  was  ilL  I  have  no  female 
friend  and  neighbour ;  and  mea  are  not 
the  thing  on  tiuch  occasions,  BesideSr 
you  on  all  uccastunB  would  be  the  female 
nrigbbour  I  should  choose.  Love  to  your

love  of  coiajwiny — here  utlverted  to, 
was  not,  however,  quite  alone.  Ilia 
wife  loved  to  revisit  her  native  plsiee 
and  her  father,  and  somellmea  Opie's 
pjUienee  whs  exhausted. 

My  dearest  life  (he  writes),  I  cannot  he 
ftarry  that  you  do  not  wtay  longer,  though, 
tii^  I  said,  on  your  father**  account^  I 
would  consent  to  it.      Pray,lo»e,  forgive

knew  better  than  tbe  reverend  critic 
that  **  carelcssnesa  "  was  not  the  root  of 
the  evil.  The  lOogiciJ  character  of  the 
mind,  and  the  meujrre  help  it  had  re- 
ceived from  disciphne  and  edticatlon^ 
made  it  a  hopeless  thing  to  exact  from 
Mrs,  Opie  correctness  merely  «0  tbe

as  Mrs.  Inchbald  said,  '*  far  olc

that  I  could  not  make  up  my  mind  to  tbe 
disappnintment.  As  to  coming  down  again 
I  cannot  think  of  it.  ...  .  Pray,  love,  be

In  1601,  her  career  of  acknowledged 
authorship  bos^nn.  She  had,  before 
marriage,  published  a  novel  anony- 
mously, **Tbe  Dan^j^ers  of  Coc|uetry,"^ 
not  without  merit,  but  not  exciting 
any  general  interest;  but  **The  Father 
and  Daughter  "  was  a  decided  ^lucce.ss. 
Then  followed  Poems,  reviewed  in  the 
first  volume  of  the  Edinburgh  Review, 
in  a  timid  tone,  not  calculated  to  &x 
upon  the  mind  of  the  authoress  such 
an  impression  of  the  judgment  of  her 
critic  as  might  greatly  influence  her 
future  writings.  In  her  there  was  in- 
deed what  has  been  called  "a  fatal 
facility  of  doing  things  pretty  well," 
which  kept  her  pen  going  at  an  easy 
rate  —  sometimes    above    mediocrity, 


flf>ot»  and  names  dear  to  memory  I 
presented  to  her,  clothed  in  living 
and  blood,  Kosciusko  was  there,  ai 
there  were  plenty  of  at  leaat  mi'di^imi 
patriots  who  liked  to  hear  her  slug 
"Fall,  tyrants,  fall!"  on  the  Botde- 
vards,  while  the  great  tyranny  waa 
all  tbe  while  fast  preparing.  She 
saw  tbe  First  Consul ;  also,  far  better 
lot  i  she  saw  and  was  now  introductcl 
to  Charles  Jamea  Fox,  whose  {MCtwre 
her  husband  soon  afterwards  painted/ 
Two  short  years,  and  the  artist  was 
no  more.  What  brilliant  yeara  they 
were !  Sitters  crowded  upon  liim ; 
and  his  lectures,  which  occupied  him 
in  composition  and  delivery  from  Sept. 
1806  till  March  1807,  wore  deservedly 
admired.  They  cost  him  his  life,  how 
ever,  lie  fell  ill  immediately  Aller

respects  the^ame  eurt  t>f  lifl*  with  Mra. 
Opie.  Though  she  returned  tu  Norwich 
and  her  fatherV  house  aa  her  home,  she 
went  every  year  to  London,  and  entered 
lurgely  into  society*  She  wrote  con- 
stantly to  Dr,  Alderson  in  absence.  She 
mentions  dinners  in  which  LordDudle/ 
and  Lord  King»  the  ever -welcome 
Sj^dnev  Smith,  Lady  Crewe,  the  Mac- 
kintoahed^  Romillys,  and  Lord  Erftkine* 
were  guests.  We  can  make  room  oidy 
for  one  letter,  dated  June  24th,  18U. 

My  dear  F«thBr»— That  far 

J  hail  gnttca  yeiterdiy  fti  half.fiMt  four 
o'clock,  when  Lord  Tam worthy  and  Mis. 
L<  M.  after  him,  came  in  and  mternipted 
me »  and  I  was  forced  to  turn  the  latter 
oat  that  1  mfght  drees  to  go  to  Mac- 
kintosh's tn  dinner  at  six  o'clock;  but  I 
consoled  myaclf  hy  the  certainty  of  getting 
a  frank.  I  will  now  ^o  on  to  that  of  which 
roy  mind  is  moft  fiill,  namely,  my  yester- 
day's dinner^  which  it  was  almost  worth 
coming  op  to  towo  on  purpose  to  be  at. 
I  got  to  M.'s  at  Kix,  the  hour  appointed  ; 
found  no  (Ire^  alas  1  and  no  one  to  re< 
ceive  me;  happily*  soon  after  arrived  Mr. 
Whiihaw,  horror- struck  at  do  fire,  and 
saying  in  alt  civiUsed  houses  there  must  be 
one  in  such  weather ;  but  be  warmed  him- 
self and  foe  by  inveighing  against  poor 
Lord  Cochrane 'a  pillory,  which  all  the 
lawyers,  and  all  London,  I  hojie,  disap- 
prove. How  unwise  too  !  for  it  leads  as  to 
forget  his  fault  io  bis  ponighment — but 
this  is  by  the  bye,  Next  arrived  Dr. 
Brown,  whom  I  presented  to  Wbtshaw. 
Then  came  Lady  M.,  and  then  Sir  James, 
and  I  found  three  different  hours  for 
dining  had  been  named  to  the  different 
guests;  and  Mr.  W.  and  I  anticipated 
hunger  being  added  to  cold*  Next  came 
Flajfair,  then  Richard  Payne  Knight,  then 
John  WLHiam  Ward,  ju^t  come  from  Paris, 
and  lastly,  at  about  half-past  seven,  the 
great  traveller  and  so  forth — Baron  de 
Hnmboldt ;  he  was  not  presented  to  roe, 
therefore  I  could  not  ask  whether  he  or 
bis  brother  brought  my  letter  from  Helen 
Willi«Bis — and  to  dinner  we  went,  Ward 
handing  me;  so  I  sat  by  him,  and  on 
ay  other  band  was  Mr.  Knight.  I  cer* 
tainly  never  saw  so  many  first-rate  men 
her ;  but  again  it  would  have  been 
nrrat  d€  riekea$€t  with  me,  had  not 
'  parson  been  a  whetting-stone  to  the 
'  ^t  and  information  of  the  other. 

Politics^  science,  literature,  Greek,  mo- 
rsls,  church  government,  infidelity^  sects, 
pbUosophy,   characters  of   the  Emjicror 


of  Rtissin,  King  of  Prussia,  of  Blucher,  of 
FliitufT,  given  in  a  dearaud  simple  manner 
by  the    Baron,    and   commented    on   by 
others,    formed    the    never^flaggiog  dis- 
course throughout  the  dinner*     I  did  not 
talk  much,  as  you  may  ^ess,  for  1  had 
scarcely  ears  enough  to  listen  witlu  Ward 
wa*;  more  charming  and  more  malii^ioufrly 
witty,  more   Puck -like,  than   I   had  seen 
him   for  years ;    and    what  he    did    not 
choose   to  venture  aloiid,  be  whispered 
in  my  ear — more  a^eeabU;  than  polite ; 
but  once   I   caught  myself  in   an   argu- 
ment with  Mr.  Knight,  and  I  trembled 
at    my  own  temerity.      Talk   across   the 
table  I  could  not  have  done  ;  but  Mr.  K. 
was  my  neighbour,  and  none  but  he  heard 
my  daring.     I  will  give  you  one  of  Ward's 
sarcasms  ;  but  an  unusually  good-natured 
one,  as  it  would  flatter,   not   wounds  the 
persons  at  whom  it  was  aimed.     *'  1  bear 
(said   [)  you   returned   from    Paris   with 
a  Curd  in  b1/*     ^  Yea,  the  Cardinal  Gim- 
salva,   and   I  had  the  great  satisfaction 
of  putting  him  at  length  under  the  pro- 
tection of  a  Sileaian  Jew,**     *•  Not  being 
abb  (said   Sir  James)  to  find  any  Scotch 
philosophers  at  hand  to  take  his   place.'* 
**  But  had  there  been  any  Scotch  philo- 
sophers to  consign  him  to,  I  should  still 
have  preferred  the  Jew,  because  I  know 
there  would  have  been  some  chance  of  his 
converting  the  Jew."     The  philoaophera 
present  laughed;   and  thia  introduced  a 
curious  discussion  on    infidelity.  ..... 

(Enter  the  Baron  de  Humboldt  to  break- 
hai  with  me,  and  then  [  take  him  to 
Mrs.  Siddons.)  Alas  !  it  was  no  Baron — 
so  I  may  go  on.  Ward  saw  Lafayette  at 
Paris ;  almoitt  the  only  man  of  a  Revolu- 
tutioo  who  has  survived  one,  and  lived 
to  enjoy  life.  He  owned  to  me  he  did 
not  care  to  see  him  ;  for,  in  his  opinions 
on  such  a  subject,  be  was  too  much  of 
a  Burkite,  to  relish  seeing  Lafayette.  De 
Humboldt  spoke  highly  of  him,  and  men- 
tioned with  pleasure,  ai  a  proof  of  tole- 
rance of  opinion,  that  Lafayette  has  always 
been  beloved  and  aatocinted  with  by  per- 
sons of  totaUy  opposite  opinions  to  bis 
own,  and  has  been  enriched  bf  them  at 
their  death  :  lately  he  has  ucqtilred  much 
by  the  death  of  Monsieur  de  Lusignan, 
whom  I  once  knew  very  well.  .  .  ,  Hero 
is  the  Baron  indeed  I  He  is  very  charm-

That  an  impression  was  made  on

Memariah  of  Amelia  Opie, 


» 


I 


OtJiera,  of  course,  were  lees  good- 
humoured — ami  some  were  even  Blaii- 
derous ;  for  herself,  her  chief  subject 
of  self'debate  as  to  externals  seema  to 
have  been  between  the  Wealeyans  and 
the  Friends.  **  Many  of  her  relations," 
she  tells  Mrs,  Fry,  "  on  her  mother's 
side,  had  been  united  for  generations 
past  to  the  Wealcyan  Methodists," 
which  consideratiun  had  Bometimes  in- 
clined her  towards  a  union  with  that 
fleet  of  worahipi^ers,  and  it  may  be 
added  that  the  vVesleyan  Hymn-book 
wna  the  compuniou  of  all  her  wander- 
ings, and  its  contents  read  and  re- 
peated by  her  on  her  death* be<l. 

If,  in  parts  of  Mias  Brightwcirs  vo- 
lume we  have  wished  for  that  kind  of 
Buppression  which  we  cannot  find,  we, 
in  tuis  place,  desire  some  punitive  ad- 
dition to  the  matermb.  There  are 
copious  extracts  from  Mrs,  Opie's 
diarie«,  from  the  journals  of  her  foreign 
and  English  tours ;  but  we  Bhould  have 
much  preferreii  to  read  some  of  her  more 
quiet  letters.  She  suffered  most  deeply 
on  the  death  of  her  father,  and  seems 
to  have  been  long  unnble  to  shake  off 
the  gloom  which  every  return  to  her 
Norwich  home  occasioned  her;  this 
and  only  this  period  of  her  liie  gives 
lis  an  iHii>reaaion  of  a  morbid  stale  of 
inind^  Gradually,  however,  she  reco- 
vered her  tone.  The  ancient^  almost 
unparalleled,  sweetness  of  temper,  the 
cheerfiil  active  sympathies  of  her  beau- 
tiful nature,  revived  again,  and  flowed 
through  deeper  channels.  How  in- 
tensely she  loved  Christian  companion- 
ahip,  Cow  she  delighted  in  her  friends 
ana  the  occupations  they  gave  her, 
can  never  be  the  subject  of  a  moment's 
doubt ;  but  one  memorable  truth  mujjt 
be  told  of  her,  that  the  strength  of  her 
own  convictions  never  led  her  into 
presumptuous  condeinnation  of  others ; 
and  [)erhaps  her  perfect  freedom  from 
sectarian  oitterness  may  have,  here 
and  there,  led  a  bigot  to  think  of  her 
a^  attaching  less  value  to  the  essentials 
of  her  faith  than  really  was  the  case. 
Mr-  Bright  well  says  truly, 

Mrs.  Opie  hud  no  liking  for  rcUgiou« 
controverty,  and  seemed  to  roe  always 
destront  of  avoiding  it.  1  believe  she 
disliked  dogmatic  theory  altogether.  Her 
religion  was  the  **  shemng  oat  of  a  good 
conversatioQ  her  works,  with  meekneBB  of 
wisdom. " 

She  cTer   deemed    her    union    **  with 


Friends "  the  happiest  event  of  her  life; 
and  she  did  honour  to  her  profetsioo  of 
their  principles  hy  shewing  that  thej  were 
not  incompatible  with  good  mflnneni  and 
relSaed  taste.  She  met  with  some  among 
them  who  have  aiwajs  appeared  to  me 
to  come  the  nearest  to  the  standard  of 
Cbristifln  perfection ;  these  were  her  dear* 
eat  friends  on  earth,  and  abe  i«  now,  with 
them,  nnmbcred  among  the  blessed  dead 
who  have  died  in  the  Lord*  who  have 
ceased  from  their  labours,  and  whose 
works  do  follow  them. 

Very  numerous  were  her  sorrows. 
One  pressed  heavily  upon  her.  In 
1844  she  was  called  to  the  deathbed 
of  her  relative,  Henry  Briggs,  R.A. 
She  had  been  anticipating  thi»,  early 
in  January,  and  wrote, — 

I  do  so  ciTJoy  ray  home.  In  a  rooming 
I  am  only  too  full  of  company  ;  hot  when 
at  nightfall  1  draw  my  sofa  round,  for  a 
long  cvenuii^  to  myeelf,  I  have  iuch  a  feel- 
ing of  thankfulnesi  I — and  so  I  ooijht.  It 
Is  well  to  see  how  the  burden  is  fitted  to 
the  back  by  oitr  uiercifol  Father.  I  have 
been  a  lane  woman  through  life ;  an  ooly 
child  !  a  childless  widow  !  All  my  nearest 
tie*  engrossed  by  nearer  ones  of  their  own. 
If  I  did  not  love  to  be  alone,  and  enjoy 
the  prinlcgej  leisure  gives,  what  wouhJ 
have  become  of  me  1 — hat  I  love  my  lot, 
and  every  year  it  grows  dearer  still—' 
though  parting  with  beloved  friends  throws, 
for  a  while,  a  deep  shadow  over  my  path* 

Six  days  after  she  writes : — 

1  go  on  my  melancholy  jonmey  to^ 
morrow,  scarcely  expecting  to  see  roy  poor 
cousin  alive  ;  bat  he  wishes  to  see  me,  and 
it  is  therefore  my  duty  to  go.     ,     •     .     • 

Again,  some  days  aflter^ — 

Going  into  bis  gallery  of  pictures,  where 
BO  many,  alas!  are  unfinished,  reminds 
me  BO  powerfully  of  bygone  days,  when  I 
stood  in  my  ttum  gallery,  where  finished 
and  unfinisbed  pictures  abounded  ! 

Many  were  the  bereavements  of  her 
latter  years.  ReLitives  and  friends 
dropped  fast  around  her — and,  hculthj 
as  was  her  general  state,  she  had  severe 
occasional  Ulnei^ses,  and  a  remarkable 
allowance  of  sharp,  if  not  dangerous, 
bodily  suffenng.  Touching  as  is  the 
latter  part  of  the  volume,  it  should  be 
read  unbroken.  We  could  hardly 
forgive  ourselves  were  we  to  mutilate 
MiasBrightWLdrs  beautiful  detail  of  the 
closing  scenes.  Suffice  it  to  say  that 
here  we  feel  the  full  benefit  of  such  a  bio- 
grapher. ITn?  filial  feeling,  the  devoted, 
admiring  love  with  which   the   aged

icriptire  touches  are  givcn,^ 

8he  w«a  about  the  ktandard  beiKht  of 
woman  ;  her  hair  was  worn  in  waving 
folds  in  front,  and  behind  it  wu  seen 
through  ihia  cap,  (gathered  into  a  braid ; 
ita  colour  was  peculiar — 'twixt  flaxen  and 
gfay ;  it  was  niiuiiually  fine  and  delicate, 
and  had  a  natural  bend  or  wave.  Her 
Quaker  cap  waH  of  beautiful  lawn,  and 
faiitcnrd  Umeatli  the  chin  with  wliitni>«:rt, 
which  had  uriiall  criinpi:d  frilU  ;  her  drcM 
wai  UNually  of  rich  niik  or  satin,  often  of 
a  fawn  or  );rey  culour  ;  and  over  the  hust 
was  drawn  a  niunlin  or  nrt  handkerchief 
ill  thick  fohU,  faatcoing  into  the  waifft, 
round  which  was  worn  a  hand  of  the  ftamc 
material  n«  the  dreMM ;  an  apron,  usually 
of  net  or  muitlin,  protected  (or  adorned; 
the  front  of  the  gown.     Her  feet,  which 


[Jane, 


were  small  and  well -formed*  peeped  oat 
beneath  the  drcis.  On  ber  bands  she 
wore  small,  black,  netted  moffatees,  (ibe 
sometimes  repaired  them  while  Ulking  to 
her  rriendx.)  and  the  cuflia  of  her  gown 
were  secured  by  a  small  loop  at  one  comer, 
which  she  wore  pasted  over  the  thamb,  so 
as  to  prevent  them  from  timiinK  badior 
nicking  upon  the  arm*  Her  flgarewu 
stout,  the  throat  short ;  ber  carriage  v«s 
intariably  erect,  and  aha  bora  har  head 
rather  thrown  back,  and  with  an  air  of 
dignity.  Her  eoantenanee,  id  her  later 
years,  lost  much  of  that  ftre  wfaieh  once 
irradiated  it ;  bat  the  eapraaiioa  waa  more 
pleasing,  softer,  more  tender*  and  loviag. 
Her  eyes  were  especially  charming  ;  Acre 
was  in  them  an  ardour  Bslngied  with 
gentleneis  that  bespoke  her  tma  natare, 
and  occasionally  tliey  were  raiaed  upwards 
with  a  look  most  peculiar  and  expressive, 
when  her  sympathy  was  more  than  nsnally 
excited.  Her  complexion  was  fair,  and 
the  kindling  blu»h  mantled  in  her  cheek, 
betraying  any  passing  emotion,  for,  like 
her  friend  I^fayette,  she  "  blushed  like  a 
girl  to  hear  her  own  praises."  Altogether 
she  attracted  you,  and  you  drew  near  to  her, 
and  liked  to  look  into  her  face,  and  felt  that 
old  age,  in  her,  was  beaatiful  and  comely.

Sir  Robert  At%tig  Hn  1712)t  gives

A  great  piirt  of  ttie  mannor  of  PuckEe* 
church  does  still  cooLiticie  in  the  bisbop* 
rick  of  Batb,  but  a  cODsidcrable  part  came 
to  tbe  feiinily  of  the  Duimia^d.  Henry 
Dennis  had  livery  thereof  granted  to  him 
4  Eliz.  William  Deania^  esq.  dyed  seised 
thereof  1701,  and  left  two  daughtera  co- 
heiresses, vfho  have  a  lar^e  seat  called 
7^  Ofurt  Home,  and  a  liirge  estate  in 
this  and  other  parishes*  They  hate  been 
a  Tcry  ancient  family,  of  long  standing  in 
this  county.  There  have  been  more  High 
Sheriff*  of  t bis  family  than  any  other. 

The  Church  is  large,  with  an  isle  on  the 
Dorth  side,  at  the  upper  end  of  which  ii 
the  burying  place  of  the  Dennis's.  There 
are  two  old  monuments  in  the  aiale,  with 
two  Blatues  for  tbe  Dennises.  An  in- 
scription for  Hugh  Dennis,  esq.  who  died 
1539.    Another  handsome  monument  for 


John  Dennis^  esq.  son  of  Henry  Dennit ; 
he  died  1638.  Another  for  John  Deimiti, 
who  died  16G0.  Another  for  John  Den-

ttie  King,  and  the  purity  of  whose  U^es 
the  enforced  respect  of  their  opponents 
— were  instuntly  ilestroyed.  Of  eigh( 
hundred  churijhea  none  were  allowed 
to  remain;  the  celebration  of  Pro* 
testant  worship  waa  interdicted  on 
board  tihips  of  war  and  merehant

also  the  privilege  of  forbidding

think  of  the  moral  condition  of 
c^urt  or  of  the  people  under  the  in

frt^in  the  Church,  from  the  Jesuits  aa  its

proceeded, aiiil  by  that  Church  and  that 
onler  was  continued,  until  the  infidelity 
that  cruelty  and  immoral ity  had  engen« 
dered,  reacting  on  the  ignorance  of  the 
masses,  crushed  both  by  the  proscrip- 
tions of  tijc  Reign  of  Terror  and  the 
passions  of  ihe  lie  volution.  Upon  his 
death-bed  Louis  the  Fourt<?enth  bore 
testimotry  to  the  truth  of  this,  declaring 
to  the  Cardinals  De  Rohan  and  De 
Bissy,  and  to  his  confessor  the  Jesuit

and  that  he  threw  upon  th*fm  the  respon'

AFTER  years  of  fraudulent  evasion, 
Ijouis  the  Fourteenth  (as  we  have  seen 
in  our  April  Miigazine)  signed  the  Re- 
vocation of  the  Etlict  of  Nantes  on  the 
2^nd  October,  1685.  The  object  of 
the  present  paper  is  to  show  the  im-

the  extensive  emigration  it  occasioned, 
and  to  estimate  it^  inlluence  upon  the 
literature  and  social  condition  of  Eu- 
rope in  the  seventeenth  century. 

From  that  date,  Proteatantiiim  in 
France  was  considered  as  a  crime  against 
ihe  stata  The  exercise  of  the  re- 
formed wox'ship  in  churches  and  pri- 
vate houses  was  forbidden.  The  minis- 
ters, unless  they  abjured^  were  warned

A  solemn  thankitgiving  throughout

dregs  of  the  most  debased  population 
iu  exultation.  There  were  other  and 
better  Bpfrits,  who  stoo<l  afar  ofl'  and 
wept.  The  extremes  to  which,  under 
the  instigation  of  the  Jesuits,  the  do* 
niinant  party  proceeded,  occasioned  a 
slight  reaction;  and  we  recall  with 
pleasure  the  names  of  the  Muri|ui3  de 
Pomponne,  of  Vauban,  Fun*jlun,  and 
Racine.  For  a  time  the  Protei^tants 
sunk  iML'ueath  the  op[»rcssi^>n  of  a  death- 
like stupor,  and  then,  as  if  nature  was 
unequal  to  the  utterance  of  so  much 
grief,  in  the  Bilenee  of  desiiair  they 
went  forth  from  the  land  who.^e  cities 
had  become  to  them  the  strongholds  of 
injustice,  whose  churches  were  pro* 
faned  by  the  sacrilege  of  forced  abju- 
rations, and  whose  soil  waa  polluted  by 
the  shedding  of  innocent  blood.  They 
were  preceded  by  their  rnistors — men 
emmeot  for  Iheir  piety,  forced  to  seek 
concealment  in  tne  lairs  of  beasts, 
hungry  and  in  rags,  driven  from  their 
famuies  and  their  llocks,  seeking  from 
the  charity  of  stran^era  protection  and 
hospitality.  Counfless  crowds  sue* 
ceeded.  In  vain  were  guards  placed 
at  the  gates  of  towns,  at  bridges,  ports, 
the  highways,  the  frontier,  and  the 
mountain  passes;  in  vain  were  the  pea- 
santry armed  as  guards ;  in  vain  were 
the  laws*  stretched  to  the  uttermost  ;^ — 
every  precaution  failed.  Glen's  hearts 
relented;  their  covetousness  yielded 
to  the  temptation  of  bribes;  every 
disguise  was  assumed :  and  as  shep- 
herd^ pilgrims,  isoldiers,  men  and 
women  servants,  mendicants,  travelling 
vendors  of  chaplets  and  rosaries,  and 
smu'rglers,  the  emigration  continued.* 
All  all^mpts  to  obtain  an  accurate 


return  of  the  number  of  the  emi- 
grants have  faded,  nor  can  we  in  this 
respect  do  better  than  I'efer  to  Mr. 
Weiss's  work,  vol.  i.  pp.  105 — 117. 
Vauban  deplored  the  loss  of  a  hun- 
dred thousand  inb.ibitants,  nine  thou- 
sand sailors,  twelve  thousand  soldiers, 
six  hundred  officers,  and  the  strength 
of  all  thtt  manufacturing  towni  of 
France.  Siseiondi  vaguely  estimates 
the  number  as  between  three  or  four 
hundred  thousand,  Ciipefigue  calcu- 
lates it  at  two  hundred  and  thirty 
thousand ;  but  in  truth  the  reports  of 
the  intendants  of  the  provinces,  and  of 
the  Protestant  and  Catholic  historians, 
arc  not  to  be  relied  upon ;  they  mnde 
intentionally  false  returns,  and  later 
writers  have  been  unable  to  ascertain 
the  truth.  Monsieur  de  Felice  says  it 
appears  probable  that  between  the 
years  1569  to  17fiO,  during  which  the 
persecution  continued,  about  four  or 
five  hundred  thousand  j>ersons  were 
driven  out  of  FVance,  who  belonged 
to  the  most  enlightened,  the  most  in- 
dui^trious,  and  the  most  moral  portion 
of  the  nation.  Great  as  was  the  misery 
of  exile,  It  was  happiness  when  com- 
pared with  the  lot  of  those  who  were 
arrested  in  their  flight.  With  heavy 
chains  about  tbeir  necks,  linked  to  the 
lowest  ruiliansr,  they  were  driven  in 
forced  marches  upon  the  public  roads 
to  the  galleys  at  Marsedles.  Their 
food  was  a  scanty  supply  of  bad  bread, 
they  were  lodged  In  the  worst  portions 
of  tlie  worst  gaols,  cast  upon  the  etone 
Hoor,  or  huddled  together  without 
covering  in  tiqufidrons  in  the  streets. 
Their  punishment  was  for  the  moat 
part  for  life.  In  June,  1686,  more 
than  six  hundred  Protestants  were 
chained  at  tlie  gallcja  of  Marseilles, 
condeiiincd  upon  the  sole  decision  of 
the  Marshal  de  Mi>utrevel,  or  of  La- 
moignon  de  Uaville.  Uoulainvillicra 
assures  us  that  under  the  intendancy 
of  the  latter,  iu  the  single  province  of 
Lauguedoc,  a  hundred  thousand  per- 
80uii  fell  victims  to  a  premature  death, 
and  that  of  this  number  a  tenth  pe- 
rished by  fire,  strangulation,  or  the 
wheel.  The  preachers  and  the  pas^tors 
were  doomed  to  certain  death.  Among 
these  may  be  cited  Isaac  Ilornel,  an  old 
managed  seventy-two,  who  was  broken 
alive  uj>on  the  wneel  by  an  executioner

the  Fifteenth,  has  been  estimated  at 
twenty-five.  Wc  will  now  trace  the 
course  of  the  emigrants  in  their  lands 
of  refuge. 

The  first  tu  prulit  by  the  fault  of 
Louis  the  Fourteenth  was  the  (ireut 
Elector  Frederick  William  of  liran- 
dcnburffh.  He  replied  to  the  e<lict  of 
revocation  by  that  of  Potsdam,  *29th 
October,  \C>H5.  liy  this  the  emigrants 
were  assured  of  protection  for  life  and 
property,  and  the  free  exercise  of  their 
religion.  Provisions  and  means  of 
transi)ort  were  provided,  they  were 
allowed  to  choose  the  place  of  their 
abode,  unoccunie<l  houses  and  waste 
lands  were  allotted  to  them,  funds 
were  liberally  advanced,  luid  they  were 
declared  exempt  from  taxes.  The 
rights  of  citizenship  were  fully  cun- 
C4^ed,  pastors  appomtcd  to  congrega- 
tions, and  to  the  nobility  honourable 
employment  in  the  civil  service,  or 
commands  and  regiments  in  the  army, 
over  troops  of  their  own  country- 
men, were  olfered.  Tlie  ctiipiette  of 
the  court  was  also  nio<lilied,  ami,  with  a 
refmcment  of  feeling  that  enhanred  the 
elevation  of  their  rank,  the  Klectress 
Louisa  1  lenrietta,  and  the  future  Queen 
Sophia  Charlotte,  so  intimately  asso- 
ciated with  literature  and  science,  came 
forward  to  welcome  within  their  circle 
the  families  and  the  distinguished  men 
among  those  who  had  preferred  exile 
to  apostacy.  No  less  than  throe  French 
literary  institutions  wore  founded,  the 
"  French  (-ollego,"  the  ''  Academy  of 
Nobles,"  and  the  "  French  Instituti'," 
all  eminent  for  their  educational  course, 
the  merit  of  their  professors,  and  the 
number  of  the  students.  A  French 
press  was  established  untler  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Klector;  and  the  hcmse  of 
ICzechiel  Spanheim,  his  chief  agent  in 
these  measures,  was  oj>onc«l  weekly 
for  the  reception  of  the  castors  and  of 
the  more  eminent  of  the  Protestant 
emigrants.  Here  were  Ibiinil  Davicl 
Ancillon,  who  ranked  among  the  best 
of  the  reformed  preachers,  and  whom 
the  Elector  nominated  pastor  of  the 
church  at  Ikrlin.  .lactpies  Abbadie,who 


[June, 

Rubscipicntly  withdrew,  with  Marshal 
Schomborg,  to  Kn<;1anc1,  and  was  uuvk 
Dciui  of  Ivillaloc  in  Ireland ;  bom  at 
Ik'arn  in  1657,  and  who  die<l  in  London 
in  1724.  Abbadic  in  ohieAy  known 
by  his  "  Treatise  on  tlie  Truth  of  the 
Christian  Religion,"  a  work  which  ex- 
cited the  enthusiasm  upon  its  appear- 
ance of  both  Catholicii  and  IVotestanti, 
and  u|)on  which  Madame  dc  Scvigoc 
and  the  Count  de  Bussy  Kabutin  ex- 
hausted their  elo<iuencc  of  praise. 
Although  now,  especially  in  Englaikl, 
almost  forgotten,  it  is  deserving  of  its 
past  rei>ute.  It  stands  in  the  vanguard 
of  those  works  which  combated  the 
growing  infidelity  of  it6  time,  and  long 
withstood  the  intfuencc  of  writers  of  the 
succeeding  age.  Abba<lie*s  eloquence 
as  a  preacher  is  more  fully  conceded; 
he  extended  largely  the  subjects  of 
discourse  then  admitted  in  the  pulpiti 
of  the  Keformcd  Church,  and  his  style, 
occasionallv  iramnous,  is  always  clo- 
(lucnt^  rich  m  ideas,  and  copious  in 
illustration.  To  these  men  were  also 
associated  Isaac  Jaquclot,  bom  at 
Vassv  Deo.  IG,  1(>47,  the  author  of 
the  Tieatisc  of  the  Existence  of  God; 
Jacques  Leiifant,  and  Isaac  dc  Beau- 
sobre,  who  joine<l  ailerwards  the  emi* 
grants  in  Holland. 

But  it  was  chielly  the  establishment 
of  manufactures  hitherto  unknown,  or 
unskilfully  exercised,  which  occupied 
the  attention  of  the  Elector.  For  this 
))urpose  he  encouraged  emigration 
irom  Languetloc,  Normandy,  and  Fi- 
cardy.  The  emigrants  were  established 
in  the  cities  most  favourable  for  their 
occupations.  Magdeburg,  Halle,  and 
Berlin  were  made  central  points  of 
commercial  enterprise.  The  woollen 
manufacture,  that  of  hat^  glove  mak- 
ing, and  tanneries  were  iiiliXKluccd ; 
gold.xmith  work  and  the  art  of  metal 
castings  were  improved  —  in  short, 
the  intluonce  of  tin;  emigrants  occa- 
sioned not  only  an  amended  social 
condition,  but  laid  the  foundation  of 
the  present  commercial  prosperity 
of  IVussia.  As  a  necessary  result, 
capital  flowed  in,  cities  were  cn- 
lar«^^''l,  pnpuhition  inerea.*«od,  and  at 
tin?  periini  of  his  death,  in  It5s8,  the 
Fiedler  had  alrcidy  reaped  the  rewanl 
of  his  enlarged  and  Christian  policy, 
by  the  ap()roa(.>hing  elevation  of  his 
domains  to  the  rank  of  an  European

«>n».  It  rs  to  the  French  refugees  that 
PruBsia  greatly  owes  her  rapid  mental 
dcYelopraent.  Prior  to  the  estiibli ali- 
ment of  the  academy  the  use  of  the 
Latin  language  wna  predominant.  It 
was  superseded  by  the  French ;  and  if 
the  Germans  reproacli  the  emigration 
aa  baTing  exerciweil  a  prejudicial  in- 
fluence on  the  cultivation  of  their  own 
tongue,  they  must  admit  also  tbat  ita 
spiritual  influence  checked  the  mate- 
naliani  of  the  reign  of  Frederick  the 
Great,  improved  etlucation,  and,  by 
refining  taste,  awakened  the  talent  of 
their  own  writers,  und  propare<l  the 
public  for  their  appreciation. 

Long  prior  to  the  revocation  of  the 
edict,  England  bad  been  the  city  of 
refuge  for  the  persecuted  for  consci- 
ence* sake-  Hither  fled  numbers  of 
the  destined  victims  of  Alva,  of  the 
Massacre  of  St.  Bartholomew,  the  pro- 
scribed dissidents  of  the  rival  sects  of 
Holland,  and  the  persecuted  of  the 
states  of  Europe.  To  the  French  re- 
fugees England  oftered  many  advan- 
tages. Colonies  of  their  countryincu 
were  already  established  in  I^ondon, 
Canterbury,  Norwich,  and  other  pro- 
vincial towns.  So  early  as  the  *24tb 
July,  1550,  the  Flemings  were  settled 
ta  a  congregation  in  Austin  Friars ;  and, 
although  the  French  possessed  an  equal 
right  to  use  this,  their  numbers  induced 
tbem  to  obtain  a  lease,  on  the  IGth 
October,  1550,  of  the  church  of  St, 
Anthony's  Hospital,  in  Tbreadncedle 
Street.  In  addition  to  this,  waij  the 
influence  derived  from  the  long  com- 
mercial intercourse  carried  on  almost 
exclusively  bv  the  colonists  of  Franco 
with  Englanfj.  Similar  opinions  upon 
articles  of  faith,  upon  the  great  doc- 
trines of  civil  and  religious  liberty, 
and  the  aid  and  encouragement  ex- 
tended to  them  by  Elizabeth  and  Crom- 
well, all  combined  to  make  our  land  to 
the  refugees  the  land  of  promise^  wlien, 
like  Israel  of  oM,  they  fled  from  before 
the  face  of  their  oppressor.  They  came 
principally  from  Normandy,  Picardy, 
Britany,  and  Guienne*    It  has  been 


estimated  that  in  the  ten  years  imInc^- 
diatcly  preceding  and  following  the 
i-evocation  eighty  thousand  sought  here 
an  asylum,  of  whom  a  third  at  least 
were  located  in  London.  To  the  five 
churches  originally  ftp]>ointed  for  the 
service  of  the  French  Church  no  less 
than  twenty-six  were  added, almost  all 
founded  l>etwcen  the  reigns  of  William 
the  Third  and  George  the  First.  Public 
feeling  was  deeply  excited  upon  their 
arrival.  There  was  a  rumour  that 
Charles  the  Second  had  abjured  the 
Protestiint  religion  upon  his  death -bed. 
Tlie  bigotry  and  the  cruelty  of  his  suc- 
cessor were  known.  If  tjoxm  could 
eject  from  his  kingdom,  and  condemn 
to  the  galleys,  to  imprisonment  in 
loathsome  dungeon?^  to  death  upon  the 
wheel,  or  drive  into  exile  the  greater 
part  of  the  most  industrious  popula- 
tion of  France,  without  provocation  on 
their  part,  at  the  instigation  of  the 
priesthood,  or  the  exercise  of  his  un- 
controlled will,  what  might  not  be  ex- 
pected from  a  sovereign,  excited  by 
public  hatrcil,  cruel  by  instinct,  re- 
vengeful by  nature,  who  sought  the 
rcistoration  of  his  church,  and  with  its 
supremacy  that  also  of  hia  own  arbi- 
trary power  ?  There  was  not  one  of 
these  *' witnesses  in  sacklolh"  whose 
story  did  not  thrill  the  hearts  of  their 
hearers,  antl  add  to  the  gathering 
gloom  of  public  opinion. 

The  court  temporised,  James  secretly 
approved  what  he  openly  diaavowca, 
Ihc  Church  expressed  its  sympathy, 
the  frequenters  of  the  coffee-house  dis- 
cussed the  act  of  Louis  in  excited 
groups.  Faces  long  hidden  in  con- 
cealment were  seen  in  wonted  places 
of  resort.  But  it  was  among  the  Dis- 
senters, the  descendants  of  the  men 
who  had  condemned  the  **Man  Charles** 
and  driven  his  family  into  exile,  that 
the  deepest  feeling  of  resentment 
glowed.  They  had  themselves  suffered 
the  affliction  of  persecution.  If  sucli 
principles  and  such  power  were  to 
prevail  as  strewed  the  shores  with 
exhausted  exiles,  the  wrecks  of  human 
happiness,  what  safeguard  for  civil  and 
religious  liberty  remained  ?  All  parties 
were  united.  Large  collections  were 
made  for  the  stdTercrs,  public  opinion 
wajs  stiumbitcd  by  a  succcsHii»n  of  pam- 
phlets an'l  caricalarcs,  the  lower  orders 
eagerly  bought  up  the  cheap  books 
which  narrated  the  event,  and  there

was  hardly  one  who  did  not  chaunt  the 
popular  songs  which  warned  the  nation 
of  the  danger  of  a  popish  king,  or 
heightened  the  popular  horror  of 
"  wooden  shoes"  and  the  government 
of  "  painted  madams.**  The  principal 
towns  soon  received  colonics  of  emi- 
ffrants.  In  London,  they  were  chiefly 
located  in  Blackfriars  and  Spitalficlds. 
The  great  commercial  benefits  of  their 
accession  were  soon  evident.  Every 
branch  of  the  silk  manufacture  was 
introduced  or  perfected.  The  linen 
trade,  and  that  of  sail-cloth,  became  so 
prosperous  that  the  exports  from 
France  comparatively  ceased.  The  art 
of  printc<l  calicoes  was  established; 
fabrics  of  mixed  materials  of  all  kinds 
improved.  The  trades  of  paper-mak- 
ing, hat-making,  cutlery,  jewellery, 
were  advanced  by  numbers  of  skilled 
workmen,  from  the  most  prosperous 
towns  of  France.  Macphersou  states 
that,  so  marked  was  the  influence  of 
the  emigration  u])on  commerce,  that 
between  the  years  lG8d  and  17.')*),  the 
diminution  of  the  annual  value  of 
French  goods  into  England  amounted 
to  1,800,000/.  Many  important  manu- 
factures were  withdrawn  from  Franco 
for  ever ;  in  others,  such  as  in  silk,  a 
rivalry  was  created,  which  has  ex- 
tended to  the  present  time.  But  the 
benefits  of  the  emigration  were  not 
limited  to  commerce;  we  owe  to  it 
the  honourable  citizenship  of  many 
families,  the  public  services  of  Marshal 
Scliomberg  and  of  Kuvigny,  Marquis 
of  Galloway,  the  literary  repute  of  St. 
Evremond,  Kapin  Thoyras,  Pierre 
Antoinc  Motteux,  Jacques  Abbadie, 
and  Jacques  Saurin.  In  later  years 
that  of  Samuel  liomilly,  Saurin  the 
Attorney-General  for  Ireland,  and 
Henry  Layard.  Our  linuts  now  compel 
us  to  conclude  with  a  rapid  glance  at 
the  condition  and  the  influence  of  the 
exiles  in  Holland. 

The  United  Provinces  had  at  this 
time  reached  the  height  of  their  pros- 
perity. Their  government  had  been 
conducted  by  a  succession  of  able  men, 
their  navy  was  powerful,  their  com- 
merce extensive,  and  the  population 
industrious,  hardy,  and  enduring.  The 
violence  of  the  religious  factions  of 
the  Gomarists  and  the  Arminians  had 
ceased,  und  political  party  spirit  was 
controlled,  or  flowed  gradually  towards 
the  concentration  of  power  in    the 


hands  of  the  Prince  of  Orange.    In 
1668  the  Dutch  had  curbed  the  power 
of  Louis  by  the  Triple  Alliance    By 
the  valour   of  their   na^Zt   »o<l   ^ 
skill  of  Van  Tromp  and  De  Ruyter, 
and  the  genius  of  their  great  Stadt- 
holder,  they  resisted  with  success  the 
shameless  alliance  of  Charles  the  Se- 
cond with  Louis  against  their  inde- 
pendence.    The  Treat/  of  Nim^uen 
leAi  them  for  a  period  weakened,  bat 
yet  so  disciplined   by  reverse  as  to 
appear  again  as  a  great  state  in  the 
war  of  the  Spanish  succession.     It  was 
not  only  by  a  similar  impulse,  given  to 
industry  and  commerce,  as  in  the  case 
of  England  and  Prussia,  that  Holland 
profited  by  the  act  of  the  revocation  of 
the  edict.    Her  fleets  were  manned  by 
able  seamen,  her  troops  disciplined  by 
French  officers,  and  those  regiments 
of  emigrants  were  raised  which  accom- 
panied   William     the    Third     under 
Schomberg  to  England.     These  con- 
sisted of  three  French  regiments  of 
infantry,  a  squadron  of  cavalry,  and 
seven  hundred  and  thirty-six  officers 
incorporate«l  with  the  difTerent  batta- 
lions of  the  army.  Nor  was  it  by  arms 
alone  the  refugees  serveil  the  republic ; 
they  advanced  its  interests  no  less  by 
their  political  writings  than  their  di- 
plomatic talents.    Three  men  were  in 
this  respect  remarkable — Pierre  Bayle, 
Pierre  Juricu,  and  Jacques  Saurin.  At 
this  period  a  great  change  had  taken 
place  in  Holland ;  a  liberal  toleration 
was  conceded ;  personal  liberty   was 
secure;    the  press  was  free.     Bayle 
availed  himself  of  this  advantage ;  he 
established,  by  his  writings,  a  school  of 
analytic  criticism,  and  encouraged  the 
tendency    towards    that    philosophic 
scepticism    which   subsequently  gave 
the  tone  to   French  society    in  -the 
salons  of  Madame  de  Tencin,  Madame 
(jeoffrin,   Madame    du  Defiant,    and 
Mademoiselle  L*£spinasse,  in  the  years 
preceding    the    Revolution.     Baylc's 
power  as  a  writer  is  no  less  remarkable 
for  its  erudition  than  its  style.   A  clear 
strong  intellect,  associated  with  imagi- 
nation; a  lively  satirical  humour,  com- 
bined with  great  dialectic  skill,  prevail 
throughout.     It  is  to  these  he  oweil 
the  popularity  of  his  writings,  and  it 
was   these  in   the   "  Pensecs  sur    les 
Comctes,"  in  his"  Criti(iue  de  Tllistoire 
du  Calvinisme  du  Pcre  Maimbourg,"  in 
his  contributions  to  the  "  Nouvelles  de

Jurieu  ;  but  his  violence  and  sujteepti- 
ble  vanity,  whilst  they  involved  him 
in  perpetual  controversy,  exposed  him 
to  ihu  powerful  pen  of  his  antago- 
nist, and  the  eloquent  criticism  of  Ar- 
nauld  and  Bossuet.  Jurieu's  defects, 
however,  had  many  redeeming  qua* 
lities;  he  was  sincere  in  his  religious 
professions;  an  unjielding  opponent 
of  the  power  of  Louis,  his  solid  eru- 
dition advanced  theological  science, 
and  his  generous  advo^cy  of  the 
iu:laiuis  of  the  exiles  greatly  tntligated 
their  atllictions.  Bayle,  in  their  days 
t»r  intercourse,  declared,  *'  he  is  the 
iirst  man  of  our  communion,  whelher 
it  he  for  sound  judgment  or  the  nicety 
nf  his  wit  ;*'  but  the  part  he  took  in 
the  extravagance  of  a  few  ignorant 
Calvinrsis  at  a  Liter  period  occasioned 
the  recall  of  this  opinion,  and  dimi- 
nished bis  inl!uenee. 

It  IB  impossible  to  sketch  even  the 
outline  of  the  literary  career  of  such 
men  as  Jean  Le  ClerCi  Jacques  Bas- 
nage,  Klie  Benott,  to  whom  we  owe 
the  History  of  the  Edict  of  Kantes, 
and  Isaac  de  Beausobre ;  but  the  name 
of  Jacrtues  8aurtu  must  not  be  passed* 
Suurin  was  long  the  most  eminent 
preacher  of  the  Hague,  and  rivals  in 
the  Kcft>rme<l  the  place  and  fame  of 
Bossuet  in  tlie  Roman  Catholic  Church. 
To  extensive  knowledge  he  united 
strong  reasoning  i>owers,  and  a  vigorous 
and  originiil  imagination.  His  argti- 
ment  is  always  clearly  exposed,  closely 
deduced  from  the  premises,  and  forcibly 
pursued  to  its  conclusion.  No  man 
has  exceeded  his  powers  of  admonition 
and  exhortation;  none  equalled  him  in 
the  solemnity,  the  elevation,  and  the 
Scriptural  beauty  of  the  prayer  with 


which  be  sometimes  comniencctl,  most 
generally  closed,  his  discourse.  His 
fault  is  a  tendency  to  metaphysical 
abstraction ;  he  is  lost  in  his  subject, 
and  forgets  bis  auditors.  Great  were 
his  responsibditicii,  greatly  were  these 
fulfdlcd.  He  had  to  awaken  con- 
science, to  give  it  strength  and  confi- 
dence, amid  the  misery  of  exile,  in  the 
moral  government  of  God*  He  bad  to 
rally  the  dispersed  members  of  a  pcr- 
secutcil  church,  to  defend  the  prineiplcss 
of  the  Reformation,  to  revive  the  in- 
fluence of  spiritual  religion  weakened 
by  vain  theological  disputes,  to  shew 
that  the  exercise  of  reason  iseompatiblo 
with  an  unsullied  faith,  and  to  combat 
the  danger  of  indilTerence  in  the  name 
of  toleration.  Hia  fame  has  survived 
the  jealous  enmity  to  which  he  tell  a 
victim,  and  is  still  recalled  in  Holland 
with  respect. 

Such  is  the  mere  outline  of  Ujc 
causes  and  the  consequences  of  the 
KcvocatioQ  of  the  Edict  of  Nantes; 
for  its  fuller  historv  we  must  refer  our 
readers  to  the  worts  cited  at  the  be- 
ginning of  this  article.  That  of  M, 
Weiss  is  nn  extremely  valuable  com- 

t illation,  but  it  is  to  be  regretted  he 
ms  such  feeble  powers  of  portraying 
character,  or  of  depicting  events.  The 
volumes  of  Mons,  Sayou.s  illustrate,  so 
far  m  they  extend,  with  much  ability, 
the  history  of  the  Literature  of  Ihe 
Refugees.  The  compilation  by  G.  do 
Felice,  and  the  "*  Witnesses  in  Sack- 
cloth," which  last  contains  a  useful 
bibbographieal  notice  of  the  principal 
works  upon  the  history  of  this  period, 
should  be  in  the  hands  of  ay  cry  one 
who  resfyccts  the  great  struggle  for 
liberty  of  conscience,  or  who  venerates 
the  memory  of  these  martyrs  of  his 
faith.  No  one  can  rise  from  their 
perusal  without  the  profound  convic- 
tion, "There's  a  Divinity  does  shape 
our  ends,  rough-hew  them  how  wo 
will.'*  Consider  the  termination  of  the 
career  of  Louis,  He  outlived  the 
adoration  of  bis  subjects,  his  ambition 
was  controlled  by  the  geniul  of  Wil- 
liam the  Third,  stricken  down  by  that 
of  Marlborough  and  of  Eugene.  His 
heir  and  his  successors  were  consigned 
to  premature  graves ;  want  desolated

was  exiled,  the  moss  of  the  remainder 
was  oppressed  and  disaffected.  To  the 
last  he  was  n  King,  ol>eyed  but  not 
honoured,  surrounded  by  interested 
courtiers,  subservient  ministers,  timo- 
rous in  reh'gious  duty,  deriving  no 
strength,  no  peace,  no  consolation  from 
his  faith;  a))ove  all  men,  "with  none  to 
bless  him,  none  whom  he  could  l)Iess." 
His  death  was  a  day  of  joy,  and  as  his 
funeral  passed  amid  tlio  mocking  jests 
of  his  subjects  the  Huguenots  recalled 
Uio  wonls  familiar  to  the  disciples  of 
the  lieformed  Churcli : — "  Is  this  the 
man  that  made  the  earth  to  tremble, 
that  did  shake  kingdoms,**  "  that  made 
the  world  as  a  wilderness,**  *Uhat 
opened  not  the  ^ates  of  his  prisoners?'* 
and  they  bowed  m  reverence  as  they  be- 
held the  extinguished  glory  of  him,  the 
pride  of  the  morning,  thus  **  cut  down 
to  the  ground,  which  didst  weaken  the 
nations.**  When  a  few  more  years  had 
elapsed,  the  Jesuits  were  dispersed,  and 
their  order  proHcribe<l  throughout  Eu- 
rope. The  bigotry  of  the  Church,  the 
sceptical  ciTrontery,  and  the  relaxe<l 
lives  of  many  of  its  leaders, — the  in- 
Aucnce  of  the  writings  of  Voltaire, 
Rousseau,  Diderot,  and  D*Alembert, 
the  debased  morals  of  the  court,  all 
united,  burst  at  last  those  conventional 
bonds  which  had  restrained  the  passions 
of  society  and  overspread  the  land 
with  the  terrible  results  of  the  lievolu- 
tion.  In  that  hour  of  universal  pro- 
8crii)tion,  when  the  descendants  of 
Louis  the  Fourteenth  commenced  that 
painful  exile,  the  Edict  of  which  to 
them  is  still  in  all  its  bitterness  re- 


newed, when  hi«  ilead  bodj,  and  thow 
of  his  race,  were  dragged  in  the  bigli- 
way  and  cast  into  diahonoored  craves, 
even  as  he  had  ordained  should  be  the 
lot  of  those  who  refused  to  sacriSce 
their  faith  unto  his  wiU,  when  the 
cruelty  of  lengthened  imprisonmeBt 
and  uniust  death  upon  the  scaflbid 
closed  the  short  career  of  his  successor's 
son  —  men  recalled  the  sufleren  of 
1 685,  for  Uiev  beheld  in  these  events  the

By  his  proscriptions,  b/  hia  wars  of 
ambition  and  of  vain-glory,  Louis  the 
Fourteenth  had  made  the  hearths  of  lus 
subjects  desolate ;  and  lo !  a  stranger, 
and  to  his  race  an  usurper,  is  now 
enthroned  in  his  palace  bj  the  will 
of  their  descendants.  He  closed  the 
temple  of  the  Huguenots.  Visit  Ver- 
sailles, enter  the  chapel  wherein  the 
noblest  of  his  land  once  throneed,  to 
listen  to  the  eloquence  of  Bouraalone. 
The  cha[>el  is  deserted,  its  condition 
mocks  its  former  [weantry,  and  the 
palace  of  the  Great  A&narch  is  a  public 
show.  He  separate<l  the  husbana  from

Queen,  of  the  cruel  lingering  death  of

A  Plea  for  the  threatened  City  Churches. 


Mr.  Urban, — About  twenty  years  ago 
a  Bcheme  Waa  suggested  for  the  remoTal 
of  a  large  number  of  City  Churches ;  this 
upon  the  o[)poBition  made  to  it  was  not 
persisted  in.  About  six  years  afterwards 
(1840),  upon  the  proposed  removal  of  the 
Ciiurcii  of  St.  Bartholomew,  by  the  Ex- 
change,  tlie  matter  was  again  agitated. 
After  that  church  had  been  removed  (which 
was  eiTected  after  some  opposition),  the 
question  was  allowed  to  rest  until  the  end 


of  the  last  and  the  commencement  of  the 
present  year,  when,  after  the  publication 
of  a  pamphlet  advocating  the  scheme,  we 
find  the  Bishop  of  London  supporting  it. 
Since  then  a  bill  under  the  title  of  the 
"Church  Building  Acts  Amendment  Bill," 
(as  if  its  promoters  were  desirous  of  con- 
cealing the  object  of  it  by  not  explaining 
it  in  the  title),  lias  been  introduced  into 
and  is  now  passing  through  Parliament. 
It  will  be  observed  that  the  bill  em-

braces  a  larger  lii^Ul  ttian  was  origitially 
intendei],  iiuistnUGli  as  it  extends  to  tho 
whole  coubtryt  anil  not  to  Landoo  alone, 
which  appears  to  have  b«eii  the  odf^iital 
iiiteotioii.  With  reapcct  to  Lotidan,  it 
may  be  saict  that  this  Dili  wHI  destroy  in  a 
few  months  all  remembraacea  of  those 
great  sacrifices  the  citizens  of  London 
made  in  behalf  of  their  church  after  the 
great  Fire  of  London.  We  have  only  to 
consider  for  a  tnoment  how  great  those 
must  have  been.  At  that  it  me  hundreds 
were  homelc££  and  houaeleaa^  yet  they  set 
to  work  :  Ix'sides  building  ImbitatioDs  for 
thcnn  selves  I  they  built  habitations  for 
their  God.  It  is  true  they  did  not  build 
up  all  the  churches  which  were  destroyed^ 
but  they  did  what  they  might  Jia?e  been 
excused  for  not  doing,— they  kept  aacred 
nearly  all  the  spots  upon  which  the 
churches  had  stood.  We  might  have  made 
money  of  them,  and  with  that  money  hav^e 
rebuilt  the  others.  Shall  we  destroy  ail 
tbeic  monuments  of  piety  ?  Shall  we  put 
up  all  these  buildiuga  and  the  conaecrfited 
ground  upon  which  they  atand  to  the 
highest  bidder  ?  Aa  well  might  it  be  said 
that  our  cathedrals  are  uaeleee,  or  nearly 
so,  and  no  longer  necessary — that  churches 
are  wanted  in  other  ptacea^  tbat  money 
'  be  obtained  by  the  sale  of  the  cathe- 
snd  the  ground  upon  which  they 
d — St.  Paul's  itself  might  be  remofed, 
■  a  small  cbiirch  would  aecnmmodate  its 
oongregatioUt  and  the  ground  is  valuable. 
We  have  antiquarian  and  arehu^nlogicat 
sodetiea  and  aasoeiations,  mt'ti  opolitiin  anil 
local ;  but  at  the  same  titne  thut  we  eS' 
tablish  these  associatiotia  we  d&itroy  our 
memonals  of  the  pasL  Those  in  Lincoln 
and  thoiie  in  Norwich  are  also  threat- 
ened. We  preserve  and  restore  Crosby 
Hallr  and,  at  nearly  tlie  same  time,  we 
are  to  destroy  the  church  connected  with 
it.  No  one  can  enter  the  church  of 
St*  Helen's  without  reverential  feelings. 
Here  arc  the  altar- tomb  and  rticumbent 
figures  of  Sir  Juho  Crosby,  the  builder 
of  the  hallt  and  bis  lady ;  the  monument 
of  Sir  William  Pickering,  who  died  in 
1 543 ;  an  altar-tomb  Govered  witli  a  marble 
slab,  inacnhed,  **  Sir  Thomas  Gresham, 
Knight,  bury^  Decern ''^  la,  1579/'  and 
the  monument  of  Sir  Julius  Cossar,  Privy 
Counsellor  to  King  James  the  Pirst.  Are 
we  to  destroy  the  church  now  standing  in 
Cornhill,  and  build  over  the  ground  on 
which  *'  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  God 
c.LXXix.  Lucius  the  first  Christian  king 
of  this  lund,  then  called  Britain^  founded 
the  first  ctmrcli  in  London,  that  is  to  say, 
the  church  of  St.  PetLT  upon  Cornhill  ;** 
and  who  **  founded  there  an^archbishop^s 
see,  and  made  that  church  the  metropo- 
litan and  Lhtef  church  of  the  kingdom.'* 


Other  churches  might  be  pftrtieulfirly  re- 
ferred tOt  but  it  \a  scarcely  poi-isiblc  to 
imagine  that  our  Legislature  will  allow 
Ihe^e  buildiogii  and  the  ground  which  has 
been  kept  saered  since  the  Fire  to  be 
brought  to  the  hammer.  We  cannot  ex- 
pect parties  to  build  churches  or  to  sub- 
scribe to  the  erection  of  them,  to  th« 
erection  of  monuments  or  memorial  win* 
dowi,  when  they  cannot  be  sure  but  that 
they  may  afterwards  he  put  up  to  sale, 
and  applied  iv^  secular  objects. 

Assuming  that  all  the  churches  laow 
existing  in  London  and  the  ministers  ap- 
pointed to  them  arc  not  now  required, 
there  can  really  be  Little  di^lcully  in 
making  arrangements  for  alternate  services 
tn  some  of  the  former,  and  the  removil  of 
some  of  the  latter  to  other  fields  of  labour. 
With  respect  to  alternate  services,  it  must 
be  borne  in  mind  that  the  churches  are  at 
no  great  distance  apart,  that  one  set  of 
officers  could  do  duly  at  two,  and  the  in- 
convenience to  the  congregatioDS  would  be 
but  little  (if  any  at  all)  in  many  charches. 
In  the  country  there  are  alternate  services 
in  churches  which  are  at  a  distance  apart. 
If  this  course  were  adopted,  it  would  be 
necessary  to  make  some  provisiott  for  the 
repairs;  the  expense  of  these  would  not  be 
great,  and  there  would  be  found  few 
parishes  in  which  the  parishioners  would 
not  be  willing  to  keep  their  church  on  this 
condition.  Lot  uji  not  destroy  throughout 
all  our  large  cities  and  towna  the  moDH- 
mcnts  of  the  piety  of  our  forefathers^ 
we  should  preserve  these  temples,  which 
are  *"  tho  honour  of  our  native  place"  and 
**  the  bulwarks  of  our  land.^'  fiishop 
Blomfield  eulogises  the  view  from  the 
summit  of  St.  Paurs,  and  Uie  Rev.  Rich- 
ard Hooper  in  bis  "  Plea  for  the  City 
Churches"  (See  Notes  and  Queries,  1854, 
p.  51,)  says,  "  A  walk  in  the  city  may  be 
as  iostructive  and  as  good  a  cure  for  me' 
lancboly  as  the  charming  country,  An  old 
city  church  can  tell  lis  tale,  and  a  good 
one  too.  We  thought  of  the  quaint  old 
monuments,  handed  down  ^om  older 
chuiehes  ^tis  true,  but  still  over  the  stum* 
hering  ashoa  of  our  forefathers,  and  whea 
the  thought  of  the  destroying  hand  that 
hung  over  them  arose,  amid  many  asso- 
dationa,  the  Bsrd  of  Avon*a  fearful  moDa« 
mental  denunciation  came  to  our  aid, 
ULe«t  be  tbf;  man  Ui&t  spares  ibeM  Rtoae«, 
And  cnrvt  Im  ho  dut  moves  theie  l>onei." 
It  may  be  added^that  the  effect  which 
the  contemplated  great  destruction  of 
churches  in  this  country — the  stronghold 
of  Protestantism — may  have  in  the  world, 
does  not  appear  to  have  been  alluded  toby 
the  promoters  of  the  measure.  It  may 
deserve  some  consideration. 

Yours,  &c.    J.  nm  B.

Ma.  UsBANf — In  your  "Minor  Cor-

obfler?e  the  following  passage. 

"  To  H,  T.  who  ailts  whether  k  U  not

we  caa  only  reply  that  ttic  deficieDcies  of 
the  coUectioii  are  stiU  very  mauifeat." 

From  the  wording  of  this  sewtence,  a 
reader  would  probably  infer  that  H.  T.'s 
complaint  was  well  grounded;  but  if  ko  he 
wonld  be  entirely  mietaken.  1  felt  pretty 
confident  that  I  had  consulted  Dulaure's 
History  at  the  Museum  many  years  ago, 
and  on  referring:  to  the  Catalogue  1  found 
the  following  entries.

I  found  also  another  work  on  a  nearly 
related  subject  by  the  same  author.

To  both  of  these  books  I  observed  an 
old  press* mark  (Gal.  4  B  B  e),  drawn 
through  with  the  peo,  which  shews  that 
the  works  were  in  the  Museum  library 
wheti  it  was  located  Id  old  Montague 
House,  DOW  many  years  ago.  In  fihort, 
there  appears  lit  thia  case  to  have  been  an 
oversight,  but  eot  on  the  |mrt  of  the  Mit- 
ieum  authorities. 

Permit  me  to  take  this  opportunity  of 
correcting  another  oversight  with  regard 
to  the  sama  establishment.  In  the  me« 
moir  of  Count  Pompeo  Litta^  inserted  in 
the  Gentleman's  Magazine  for  February, 
1B53,  it  is  stated  that  bis  magnjlicflnt 
work  on  the  genealogies  of  Italian  fami- 
lies was  '*  published  in  parts,  to  the  extent 
of  about  five  large  faho;;,'*  and  to  this  a 
note  Is  appended :  '*  Qu.  ? — We  hav« 
looked  at  the  copy  in  the  British  Ma*

which  are  all  bound  in  one  folio  volume.** 
I  see  that  in  the  Museum  Catalogue  more 
thain  forty  fasciculi  arc  mentioupd,  and  I 
am  certain  that  when  I  looked  at  the  Mu- 
ieum  copy*  when  tlie  work  was  still  gning 
on,  in  Count  Litta's  lifetime,  it  consisted 
of  four  or  five  folio  volumes.  These  are 
trifles,  but  even  in  trifles  it  is  worth  while 
to  he  correct.  A  statement  of  this  kind 
produces  nn  impression  to  the  disadvantage 
of  the  Museum  offidals  which  it  is  not 
right  they  should  labour  under^  when  it  is 
not  in  consonance  with  focta. 

To  return  to  the  Minor  Correspondence. 
You  proceed  to  remark  of  the  Museum, 
5 


that,  ^'  though  vast  qusndtics  of  foi 
works  have  been  added  of  late  yean, 
mass  is  not  of  the  most  useful  descripli 
which  s«emi  to  shew  that  the  pnrcli 
acquired  have  been  rather  incidental  and 
wholesale  quantities  than  discrimioatife.'* 
It  is  somewhat  singular  that  in  tlie  rcry 
opposite  page,  in  the  review  of  the  Barooesi 
HloKe  de  Bury's  Memoirs  of  the  Prinom 
Palatine  of  Bohemia,  the  critic  rci  '~ 
that  the  book  contains  "tome  tbIi 
and  interciting  details  respecting  the  gi 
hero  of  the  house  of  Orange,  principally 
derived  from  a  work  entitled  'Arcliires 
of  the  House  of  Orange,*  published  ondcf 
the  authority  of  ttie  King  of  Holland,  aait 
as  yet  but  little  known  in  this  couotry," 
Litttc  known  as  it  is,  that  work,  and 
hundreds  of  other  Dutch  publications,  to 
Dutch  and  French,  bearing  on  the  history 
of  England,  have  been  for  years  on  the 
shelves  of  the  British  Museum.  In  fket, 
I  happen  to  know  that  the  chief  Dotch 
periodical  for  some  years  past  have  been 
gone  through  by  one  of  the  ofUctals  of  the 
library,  to  ascertain  which  of  the  worki 
reviewed  in  them  were  of  sufficient  Tains 
to  be  added  to  its  stores. 

The  notice  in  the  Minor  CorresfiOfK 
concludes  with  a  lament  that  so  i 
English  works  are  still  waittiog  at  the 
Museum,  of  which  two  arc  pointed  oat  b 
particnlar.  One  of  these,  a  book  of  the 
Rev.  Thomas  Penuington^s,  published  in 
1809,  I  was  not  surprised  at,^ — ^huodredf 
and  thousands  of  English  works  issned  to 
the  early  part  of  the  present  century  were 
kept  out  of  the  Museum  by  the  opemttoD 
of  two  continued  causes,  one  that  the 
Copyright  Act  was  not  enforced,  the  other 
that  Englit^h  books  were  not  purohaaed. 
But  the  second  instance  was  more  remark- 
able. The  title  is  given  thus  (at  p.  bb\ 
of  your  last  number),  "  A  Journey  into 
various  purts  of  Europe,  and  a  Residence 
in  them  during  the  years  1818^  1819,  H*'28, 
and  1841,*'  If  the  dates  were  correnct.  it 
was  evident  that  this  work  must  have  heea 
puhlihhcd  since  1841,  and  for  some  time 
before  that  period  an  increased  activity  oa 
the  part  of  the  Museum  collectors  had 
made  it  somewhat  difficult  for  a  subatanttal 
publication  in  two  octavo  voiuines  issued 
in  I^odou  to  pass  unclaimed.  I  hare  the 
work  now  before  me,  and  it  turns  out  that 
my  suspicions  wera  well-founded.  For 
"  1828  and  1841  "read  '*  1820  and  1821  ;•• 
the  date  of  publication  is  1^25.  Unless

Mr,  UnDANf — In  your  memoir  of  that 
able  divine  and  excelleot  man,  the  late  Mr, 
Fabert  pubhshed  in  your  May  magazine, 
the  date  of  bis  Sernioa  on  Episcopal  Ordi- 
nation should  have  been  1802  (not  1801); 
and  the  date  of  his  Thoughts  op  the  Ar* 
miuian  otid  Calvioiiitic  Cootroveny  should 
tiafe  been  1803. 

Bid  not  Mr.  Faber  publiab  a  pamphlet 
or  pamphlets  in  controversy  with  Bishop 
Bethell  on  the  Efficacy  of  Baptism  *  of 
whicli  there  is  no  notice  in  that  memoir  ? 

Ilia  Provincial  Letters  (2  thin  vols. 
Painter,  1B44,  the  date  of  the  2nd  edition] 
are  not  mentioned. 

The  Inte  Master  of  Sberhurn  Hospital 
was  a  descendant  of  French  rffugees^  who 
came  over  into  England  on  the  revocation 
of  the  Edict  of  Nantes,  Whatever  ex- 
pectation he  might  entertain »  he  received 
from  Bishop  llorsley  no  substantial  evi- 
dence of  his  lordship's  good  will  in  the 
shape  of  ecclesiastical  preferment  But, 
by  bis  marriage,  Mr.  Faber  became  ac- 
<|uaiatcd  with  Biabop  Barringtoo,  whose 
consoientious  disposal  of  preferment,  and 
whose  introduction  into  his  diocese  of 
eminent  divineSt  was  proverbial.  That 
worthy  prelate,  ai  itatea  in  tlie  obituary, 
became  h  is  s teady  patro  n .  When  V i  car  of 
RedmarshaU,  1  believe,  the  Bi^ibop  oiTered 
him  a  second  living.  That  o^er  Mr. 
Faber  respectfully  declineJ,  on  the  ground 
that  he  could  not  reconcile  plurality  to 
his  conscience.  Bi^^bop  Harrington  was 
too  good  a  man  to  take  offeoce.  Uis 
.1  answer  was,  that  he  hoped  such 
ienttousness  would  be  no  injury  to 
Paber,  either  in  this  world  or  in  the 
next;  and^  in  IBM,  hh  pntron  translated 
Mr,  Faber  from  Rcdmarshall  to  Long- 
new  ton. 

Bishop  Van  Mildert  exercised  sound 
judgment  and  discernment  when  be  pre* 
sented  Mr.  Faber  to  Sberhurn  Hospital. 
Some  good-nnturcd  go* between  wished^  at 
the  time^  to  shake  the  Bishop's  favourable 
opinion  of  Mr.  Faber.  The  Bishop's 
answer  was,  "  I  am  well  aware  myself  and 
Mr.  Faber  do  not  think  exactly  alike  on 


all  theological  points ;  but  that  is  no 
reason  why  he  should  be  debarred  from 
prefermentp  which  he  so  justly  merits,'^ 
An  honoarable  sentimentf  not  a  little  in 
advance  of  the  day  in  which  it  was 
ottered,  and  fully  justified  by  Mr,  Faber'a 
conduct  through  the  one-and- twenty  years 
durinj  which  be  presided  over  S  herb  urn 
Hospital. 

For  the  '^  otium  cum  dignitate*'  was 
not  made  by  him  any  pretext  for  theologi- 
cal or  literary  indolence;  and,  perhaps, 
no  preceding  Master  had  so  generously 
and  to  conscientiously  devoted  a  very 
considerable  part  of  the  income  of  his 
mastership  to  the  permanent  improvement 
of  the  Hospital  estate.^,  and  to  the  comfort 
of  bis  successors.  Wherever  Mr.  Faber 
had  been  located,  the  improved  condition 
of  the  parsonage  houses  evidenced  that  ho 
did  not  merely  **  seek  his  own  things.*' 
He  found  the  Hospital  and  Estates  of 
Sberhurn  neglected  and  dilapidated,  ba 
left  them  in  an  hooonrably  dtOereut  state: 
augmented  incomes  to  the  incumbents  of 
livings  under  his  patrons ge  ;  the  chanoeFi 
of  their  churches  restored ;  agricultural 
buildings  erected  on  the  farm* ;  the  chapel , 
hou^e,  and  ofitces  rebuilt ;  the  grounds 
greatly  improved  ;  these  things  bear  evi- 
dence to  the  generous  con  sclent  iousnesi 
of  the  late  Master  of  Sherburn  Hosptial, 
And  though  we  think  a  copying  of  thd 
patch'work  architecture  of  difTerent  dat<» 
in  the  restoration  of  the  chapel,  and  the 
erection  of  the  house  and  offices  in  the 
Grecian  or  Palhidian  styles,  to  have  been 
no  small  mistakes,  still  these  fabrics  will 
long  bear  their  testimony  that  Mr,  Faber 
had  far  too  noble  a  mind  to  "  live  unto 
himself/'  Even  those  who  the  most 
widely  differed  from  him  on  matters  of 
arcbitectoml  taste,  must  now  readily  allow 
to  the  tate  Master  of  Sherburn  Hoi^piUd 
the  higher  meed,  that  as  a  good  steward 
and  fuithful  Master  he  justly  deserves  to 
be  colled  *'  a  repairer  of  the  breadi,  tho 
restorer  of  paths  to  dwell  in/*

Correspondence  of  Sylvanus  Urhcm* 


[Janey 


(p.  239.)  Oar  historians  are  agreed  in 
represcQting  Vernon  as  a  man  of  more 
courage  than  experience,  and  of  more  bold- 
Dess  than  talent,  which  may  be  admitted 
compatibly  with  a  reasonable  amount  of 
praise. 

I  have  aa  unpublished  letter  from  Ad- 
miral Vernon  to  his  cousin,  Thomas  Ver- 
non, Esq.  of  firistol,  of  which  I  transcribe 
a  portion,  omitting  what  is  purely  personal, 
as  it  was  written  at  the  time  of  a  severe 
affliction  in  his  relative's  family. 

**  Nacton,  September  6tb,  1744. 

"Sir,— I  should  sooner  have  acknow- 
ledged your  letter  of  the  23d  past,  but 
that  I  am  just  returned  from  a  progress  I 
have  been  making  with  my  son  among  our 
tenants.  I  heartily  condole  with  you  .  .  . 
and  hope  you  will  have  that  regard  for 
your  self,  and  your  Spouse,  as  not  to  sacri- 
fice your  Health,  and  your  Busyness  to  a 
calamity  ...  I  assure  you,  I  have  the 
same  good  oppinion  of  your  Nephew  that 
you  have  .  .  .  and  I  shall  always  have  a  plea- 
sure in  doing  [him]  any  good  offices  in  my 
SDwer  .  .  .  But  you  icnow  very  well,  how 
ttle  that  may  be ;  for  one  who  finds  him- 
self under  the  persecution  of  an  A n* 

for  being  tof  sincere  a  Protestant,  to 
iwallow  the  favourite  Doctrine  of  Implicit 

fiuth  in  M rs,J  the  only  thing  I  can 

conceive  they  have  to  lay  to  my  charge. 

''  But  should  any  incident  call  me  to 
any  future  command  at  sea,  which  the  ill 
treatment  I  have  met  with  can  give  me 
little  Inclination  to;  you  may  assure  your 
self  I  should  have  a  sincere  pleasure  in 
placing  your  worthy  Nephew  suitable  to 
bis  merit,  and  forwarding  him  in  any  good 
offices  in  my  power. 

**  With  my  best  wishes  for  your  perfect 
recovery  of  your  health  ;  and  Services  to 
Mrs.  Vernon  and  you,  I  am, 
«  Sir, 

"  Your  most  obedient 
"  humble  servant, 

**E.  Vernon." 

"  For  Thomas  Vernon,  Esqr.  Coun- 
celoor  at  Law,  at  hia  house,  npon 
Ck>lledge  Green,  Bristall,  Soracr- 
letshire. 
"  flroe.    E.  Vernon." 

Thomas  Vernon,  to  whom  this  letter 
was  addressed,  was  of  the  Middle  Temple, 
but  practised  as  a  provincial  barrister  at 
Bristol.  He  was  counsel  for  the  Crown 
at  the  trial  of  Captain  Goodere  in  1 740 
for  the  murder  of  his  brother,  Sir  John 
Dinely  Goodere.  The  prisoner  had  the 
effrontery  to  offer  him  an  orange  in  court, 
which  he  declined,  under  a  suspicion  that 

*  Administration, 
into  //ersecntion,

it  might  be  poiaoned.  Admiral  Vernon 
stayed  several  days  at  hia  honae  after  his 
return  from  Porto  Bekio,  when  be  was 
obliged  to  go  out  and  show  hiniaelf  to  Um 
people,  who  crowded  round  the  house  to 
see  him. 

The  language  of  Admiral  VenMm's 
letter  shows,  tl^  bis  share  in  the  failnrt 
at  Carthagena  had  not  taught  him  alienee, 
and  that  he  unreasonably  expected  to  be 
employed  by  a  miniatry  againat  whom  he 
was  constantly  declaiming.  It  ahonld  be 
added,  with  reference  to  the  promiae  ex- 
pressed in  this  letter,  that  when  he  was 
afterwards  employed,  during  the  rebelUoo 
in  1745,  in  defending  the  coaats  of  Kent 
and  Sussex,  he  took  out  two  of  hia  re- 
lative's nephews  in  hia  ship. 

Perhaps,  Mr.  Urban,  there  is  m  ten- 
dency in  persons  who  have  performed  eat 
brilliant  action  to  overrate  their  own  iai* 
portance.  The  defeat  of  the  French  omvoy 
in  Flanders  in  1708  by  General  Webb 
(which  was  represented  in  tapeatry  at 
Stowe),  intoxicated  him  to  auch  a  degree 
that  he  was  perpetually  talking  of  it. 
Speaker  Onslow  mentiona,  in  ooe  of  his 
MS.  notes  on  Burnetts**  Own  Time,"  that 
the  Duke  of  Argyle,  ^  who  had  heard  it 
from  him  twenty  times  before,"  told  hin 
he  wished  he  had  been  wounded  in  his 
tongue,  **  for  then  everybody  dae  would 
have  talked  of  your  action.**  (Bd.  Oxoa., 
1822,  vol.  V.  p.  367.) 

Horace  Walpole  has  found  another 
parallel  to  Admiral  Vernon  in  Wilkes. 
Writing  to  Sir  Horace  Mann,  March  31, 
17G8,  he  says,  "  In  my  own  opinion,  the 
House  of  Commons  is  the  place  iriiere  he 
can  do  least  hurt,  for  he  ia  a  wretched 
speaker,  and  will  auk  to  contempt,  like 
Admiral  Vernon,  who  I  remember  jost 
auch  an  illuminated  hero,  with  two  birth- 
days in  one  year.  You  will  aay,  he  can 
write  better  than  Vernon — true;  and  them- 
fore  bis  case  is  more  desperate.  BeaidciL 
Vernon  was  rich :  Wilkes  is  undone ;  and 
though  he  has  had  great  support,  hia  pa- 
trons will  be  sick  of  maintaining  him." 
(Letters  to  Sir  H.  M.,  oonclading  Seriea, 
vol.  i.  p.  383.) 

Horace  Walpole  did  not  foreaee  that 
Wilkes  had  tact  enough  to  avoid  a  fall,  by 
bringing  his  career  to  a  close  in  a  locmtiFe 
appointment.  But  Vernon  had  the  merit 
of  disinterestedness,  and  of  a  better  private 
character. 

Of  different  historians,  Voltaire  in  bis 
"  Siecle  do  Louis  XV."  (chap.  8)  ap- 
pears to  be  the  most  favourable  to  Vernon, 
in  estimating  the  result  of  the  taking  of

Iaban, — In  reading  the  other  day 
I  William  Tell  I  was  atirprised  to 
find  the  effect  of  one  of  tbe  finest  passages 
in  tbe  drama  marred  by  the  introductioa 
of  a  feature  which  seems  entirely  at  vari- 
ance with  the  tenor  of  tbe  whole. 

The  hero  of  the  piece  is  lying  in  ambu^b 
awaidng  the  coming  of  Gesster  with  a 
view  to  assasfiinnte  hira,  and,  while  con- 
templating the  path  by  nhiehhis  Tictira  ia 
approaching »  he  breaks  out  into  the  fol* 
lowing^  aolilo<|iiy :

Now  we  may  ask.  Why  ia  the  **  gloomy

thought  in  William  Tell's  mind  appears 
to  he  tills  :  All  other  men  are  abroad  on

for  an  III  purpose^  that  of  murder.  Nov^ 
to  bring  out  this  idea  effect ively,  it 
would  surely  have  been  adTisable  to  sup

he  would  be  found  on  the  road,  bm  weU 
ai  the  pious  monk  and  the  reat, 

A  similar  orersight  in  Shakspere  ocouri 
to  me.     The  fallen  Wolsey  is  dehorting 
Cromwell  from  the  fault  by  which  he  him- 
self has  forfeited  his  happiness.

Here  tbe  argument  seems  to  be,  Lofty

AnnounccmeDtfl  arc  made  that  tbe 
Cryttal  Palace  at  Sydenham  will  be 
opened  with  a  fitting  ceremonial  on  the 
luih  of  June.  Her  Majesty,  it  is  snid, 
will  assist  at  the  inauguration ;  and  the 
directors,  wc  understand,  have  resolved  to 
issue  cards  of  invitation  to  the  presidents 
and  vice-presidents  of  all  the  learned 
iio<:ieties — to  the  dignitaries  of  the  univer- 
sities— to  the  mayors  of  all  municipal  towns 
— and  to  other  clabses  of  persons,  in  a  pro- 
bable aggregate  of  from  twenty  to  thirty 
thouMand  persons.  The  Governments  of 
France,  Belgium,  and  Prussia,  and  the 
other  principal  foreign  powers,  have  inti- 
mated their  intention  of  sending  commis- 
sioners. To  assist  in  the  musical  arrange- 
ments, 1000  performers  of  the  Sacred 
Harmonic  and  New  Philharmonic  Societies 
have  volunteered  their  gratuitous  services. 

Although  a  considerable  time  must 
elapse  before  the  Crystal  Palace  can  be 
called  complete,  and  some  years  before  it 
reaches  perfection,  there  is  already  suffi- 
cient attraction  to  require  many  visits  to 
do  justice  to  the  objects  of  interest  pre- 
sented. The  Assyrian,  Egyptian,  (ircek, 
Roman,  Pompeian,  and  Alhambra  courts 
are  perfect  re-productions  of  the  finest  spe- 
cimens of  work  of  their  respective  styles. 
The  Byzantine,  Gothic,  and  Renaissance 
courts  also  present  a  collection  of  some  of 
the  most  beautiful  works  of  medieval  art, 
thougli  wanting  in  the  unity  of  design 
which  pervades  the  other  divisions.  One 
of  the  finest  effects  in  the  building  is  that 
of  the  pair  of  colossal  Egyptian  figures, 
with  the  avenue  of  sphinxes,  in  the  tran- 
septs at  the  northern  end.  Casts  of  the 
highest  works  of  ancient  sculpture,  scru- 
pulously made  from  the  originals  in  what- 
ever part  of  the  world  they  may  be,  orna- 
ment the  avenues  of  the  nave,  and,  with 
fountains  and  fh)wers,  will  pre.sent  a  pro- 
spect under  the  magnificent  arched  roof 
certainly  never  before  equalled  in  any 
building.  At  the  southern  end,  among 
tropical  plants,  will  be  seen  a  collection  of 
models  of  savage  tribes  of  various  parts  of 
the  world,  forming  an  interesting  illustra- 


tion of  ethnological  science ;  and  on  an 
island  in  a  lake  in  the  gardens  are  the 
results  of  an  attempt  to  re-produce  in  form 
and  appearance,  as  they  walked  the  earth, 
the  strange  and  gigantic  forms  of  the 
animals  whose  existence  has  been  revealed 
to  us  by  geological  investigation,  aiid 
whose  shape,  nature,  and  habits  have  been 
deciphered  from  the  moat  inconsiderable 
remains  by  the  diligence  of  comparative 
anatomists.  The  Industrial  portion  of  the 
collection  is  not  in  so  forward  a  state,  bat 
will  not  be  neglected,  although  forming 
here  but  a  secondary,  instead  of  as  in 
Hyde  Park  the  principal,  featnre  of  the 
Exhibition. 

Tbe  subscribers  to  the  Memorial  f^ike 
Great  Exhibition  o/I85l  having  commn- 
nicatcd  to  H.R.H.  Prince  Albert  a  report 
of  their  proceedings,  soliciting  his  Royal 
Highnoss's  counsel  **as  to  the  best  mode 
of  transmitting  to  posterity  a  memorial  of 
that  great  event,"  the  Prince  has  replied 
by  his  >»ecretary,  the  Hon.  Charles  Grey, 
suggesting  that  "  it  might  probably  be 
done  by  the  endowment  of  one  or  more 
professorships ;  by  the  institution  of  pe- 
riodical exhibitions;  by  the  purchase  of 
fine  works  of  art  for  the  national  museums; 
or  by  the  endowment  of  prizes  for  specific 
objects.  But  that  which  strikes  his  Royal 
Highness  at  this  moment  as  the  simplest 
and  most  effectual  method,  would  be  to 
found  Scholarships,  as  prizes  for  profi- 
ciency in  certain  branches  of  study  con- 
nected with  art  and  science.  Tliesc  might 
be  travelling  scholarships,  and  if  the  sum 
subscribed  should  amount  to  10,000/.  the 
interest  would  be  sufficient  to  found  foar, 
or  one  for  each  of  the  four  great  classes 
into  which  the  Exhibition  was  divided, 
while  by  this  means  also  the  connection 
between  our  efforts  in  art  and  science,  and 
those  of  other  nations,  would  be  main- 
tained." The  letter  concludes  with  re- 
marking that  the  Prince  would  be  glad 
to  find  that  the  plan  adopted  was  one 
towards  which  his  Royal  Highness  would 
be  enabled  himself  to  have  the  pleasure  of 
contributing;  thus  putting  a  negative  to

tbe  propofltd  Hl»tiie  of  tbe  Prince,  irbich 
lias  occaAiooed  so  much  differeDce  of 
opinlou. 

It  will  be  remembered  tbat  the  com' 
mittee  of  Lloyd's  were  foremost  in  1851 
in  iirginj  on  the  Royal  Commission  tbe 
impartiiQcc  of  establishing^  a  Trade  JMu- 

IMtum,  and  in  pointing  out  its  use  to  the 
merchants  and  manafucturers  of  the  city 
of  London.  The  committee  have  now 
transmitted  a  circular  to  tbeir  agents  all 
OTcr  tbe  world)  expressing  a  hope  that  they 
may  be  able  to  aid  in  the  collection.  The 
Lords  of  the  Treasury  have  issued  ipstnic- 
tiona  to  tbe  Commissioners  of  Customs  to 
pafis  direct  to  tbe  house  of  the  Society  of 
Arts  all  packages  containing  specimens  for 
the  rouscamf  to  be  there  delivered  free  of 
duty.  Promises  of  aid  and  co-operation 
in  the  formation  of  the  mu»eum  have  al^o 
been  made  by  the  Highland  and  Agricut- 

Itural  Society  of  Scotland » the  Royal  Scot- 
tish Society  of  Arts^  and  tbe  Zoological 
Society  of  London. 
Government  has  decided  to  propose  a 
mnt  of  7000/.  for  tbe  purchase  of  a  site 
for  the  Svotisk  IndmlriH  Mmeum  to  be 
established  at  Edinburgh.  The  site  fixed 
on  is  a  piece  of  ground  behind  the  college, 
at  present  occupied  by  a  chapel  and  one 
of  the  hospitals.  Tbe  College  Musfcum 
will  be  ceded  by  the  town  couocil  to  the 
new  niuseumr  aad  the  whole  phced  under 

I  tbe  superiatendence  of  tbe  Board  of  Trade. 
It  is  gratifying  to  observe  in  tbe  pro- 
tineial     papers  the  constant    accetsions 
which  arc  made  to  the  stores  of  tbe  local 
mutettma  established  throughout  the  coun- 
try, and  tbe  ipcreased  attention  which  is 
consequently  paid  to  objects  of  scientific 
and  aiitiquariaxi  interest.  Wherever  a  com- 
modious receptacle  is  formed  for  such  col- 
f  kclions,  there  is  generally  no  deficiency  of 
j  contributions  from  neighbours  and  frieoils, 
[who  flrc  glad  to  pkce  their  dormant  and 
patent  curiosities  in  a  position  where  they 
I  may  be  at  once  preserved  and  admired. 
[The  town  of  Chelmsford  was  one  of  the 
I  first  to  eatahlisb  such  a  museum,  which 
I  set  on  foot  nearly  twenty  years  ago  by 
he  aeal  and  energy  of  Mr.  T,  C.  Neale, 
'  Springfield;  and  we  are  gbd  to  observe 
I  that  he  does  not  now  desert  the  creation 
lof  his  perseverioicr  efforts.     Tbe  season  of 
I  the  Chelmsford  Philosophical  Society  has 
teen  opened  by  a  lecture  on  Fossil  Re- 
Imaina  given  by    Mr.  Neale,    which   was 
iniustrated  by  the  Fpeciracns  now  collected 
Ifxi  the  museum,  and  by  others  found  in 
Warious  places  in  the  county,  as  well  as  by 
l^ome  fine  specimens  sent  by  Mr.  W.  D.

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Rfiyal  Geo^ 
graphical  Society  was  held  on  the  2:?nd  of 
May,  the  Earl  of  Elleimerc  in  tbe  chair. 
During  the  last  year  112  ordinary  and 
two  corresponding  meml>ers  had  been 
added  to  the  society  ;  making  the  total 
number  7^)  ordinary  and  58  honorary  and 
corresponding  members.  The  financial  po* 
sitioQ  of  the  society  was  also  tatisfactory  ;

In  extension  of  the  Society's  sphere  of  use-

collection  of  maps  aud  charts  may  be  ren- 
dered available  for  public  reference.  This 
proposition  has  been  gratefully  accepted, 
and  the  council  is  now  engaged  upon  the 
preliminaries  requisite  for  carrying  into 
effect  with  the  least  possible  delay  arrange- 
ments in  accordance  with  the  Treasury 
minute.  The  additions  to  tljc  library 
daring  the  past  year  consisted  of  400 
volumes  of  books  and  pamphlets,  300 
sheets  of  maps  and  charts,  and  10  atlasses. 
The  gold  medals  have  been  awarded  as 
follows : — The  Founder's  Medal  to  Rear- 
Admiral  William  Henry  Smjth,  K.S.F., 
for  his  numerous  valuable  maritime  surveys 
in  the  Mediterranean,  pursued  at  a  con- 
siderable pecuniary  cost  to  himself,  and 
commenced  at  a  time  when  our  acquaint- 
ance with  the  physical  geography  of  that 
sea  and  the  surrounding  countries  was 
most  imperfect — surveys  which  produced 
105  charts  and  maps,  still  used  by  the 
Admiralty,  and  established  upwards  of 
1200  maritime  positions  on  the  coasts  of 
France,  Spain,  Italy,  Corsica,  Sardinia, 
Sicily,  Croatia,  Dalmatia,  the  Ionian  Isles, 
Greece,  and  the  shores  of  Africa,  from 
Egypt  to  Morocco ;  also  for  his  writings 
upon  the  climatology  and  natural  history 
of  large  tracts  (including  his  memoirs  on 
Sicily  and  Sardinia),  and  especially  for  his 
recent  able  work  •*  The  Mediterranean," 
in  which  his  own  observations  are  embo- 
died in  a  rich  compendium  of  the  actual 
geography  of  those  regions  as  compared 
with  their  physical  features  recorded  in 
the  classical  and  mediaeval  ages.  The  Pa- 
tron's Medal  to  Robert  M'Clure,  R.N., 
of  Her  Majesty's  Ship  Investigator,  for 
his  remarkable  exertions  in  getting  to 
Behring's  Strait  early  enough  in  1850  (the 
same  year  he  left  England)  to  enable  him, 
against  great  difficulties,  to  navigate  his 
ship  through  the  ice  of  the  Polar  Seas,  for 
his  survey  of  Baring  Island,  and,  above  all, 
for  his  brilliant  discovery  of  the  North - 
West  Passage. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Zoological 
Society  was  held  on  the  29th  of  April ; 
Sir  James  Clark,  Bart,  in  the  chair.  The 
report  was  exceeding  satisfactory.  The 
receipts  for  admission  to  the  gardens  ex- 
ceeded those  of  the  preceding  year  by 
3,413/.  18«.,  and  the  garden  sales  presen- 
ted an  increase  of  1,130/.  7«.  3<f.  over 
those  of  1852,  which  included  700/.  re- 
ceived for  two  giraffes,  and  115/.  for  a 
lioness.  There  was  also  a  decrease  of  859/. 
in  expenditure  fur  wages,  advertisements, 
and  food.  The  building  expenditure  like- 
wise exhibited  a  decrease  of  1,943/.  as  com- 
pared with  the  previous  year.  Although 
the  number  of  fellows  remained  the  same, 
the  annual  subscriptions  increased  135/.  3«. 
The  receipts  from  all  sources,  indudlng  a 


previous  balance  of  S80/.,  amounted  to 
17,508/.  The  number  of  admissions, 
exclusive  of  charity  schools  and  other  free 
admissions,  was  409,606. 

The  report  of  the  Mierucopicai  Society, 
presented  at  the  foarteenth  annivemry 
meeting,  states  that  the  number  of  mem- 
bers at  the  last  anniversary  was  203.  Since 
that  time  there  have  been  elected  28, 
making  the  total  number  231 ;  this  num- 
ber being  reduced  by  three  retirements, 
whilst  no  deaths  are  mentioned.  The 
cabinet  of  objects  and  the  library  have 
been  increased  by  various  donations. 

We  have  to  record  this  month  the  in- 
auguration of  two  new  Archseologicai 
Societies. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Bristol  Arthtg- 
ological  Society  was  held  on  the  11th 
February,  1854,  the  Right  Worshipful  the 
Mayor,  the  President,  in  the  chair, — when 
an  Introductory  paper  was  read  by  the 
Honorary  Secretary,  D.  W.  Nash,  esq.  At 
the  second  meeting,  held  on  the  2nd  May, 
two  papers  were  read  :  the  first  by  Thos. 
Garrard,  esq.  Chamberlain  of  Bristol,  on 
John  Guy,  a  citiien  of  Bristol,  and  one  of 
the  early  coloniaers  of  Newfoundland. 
The  second  was  by  Peter  Lereraage,  esq. 
on  a  Runic  Inscription  adjoining  the  arms 
of  Bishop  Robinson  (Bishop  of  Bristol, 
translated  to  London,  1713),  on  a  painted 
glass  in  the  west  window  of  the  cathedraL 
After  this  George  Pryce,  esq.  exhibited 
some  drawings  copied  by  him  from  some 
frescoes  on  the  ceiling  of  the  dormitories 
occupied  formerly  by  the  canons  of  tiie 
Abbey  of  St.  Augustine.  From  the  head- 
dresses of  the  figures  and  other  adornments 
it  is  evident  that  they  were  execated  after 
the  dissolution  of  the  abbey — most  pro- 
bably in  the  reign  of  James  the  First. 
Some  presents  of  antiquities  have  already 
been  made  to  the  Society,  which  now  con- 
sists of  about  sixty  members  ;  it  includes 
in  its  ranks  the  leading  local  antiqnariea— 
the  Rev.  John  Eagles,  M.A.,  the  Rer.  J. 
Reyuell  Wreford,  D.D.,  F.S.A.,  A.  H. 
Palmer,  esq.,  George  Pryce,  esq.,  etc., 
and  there  seems  every  likelihood  of  its 
becoming  a  very  useful  and  Taluable  So« 
ciety. 

The  Surrey  Archaologieal  Society  held 
its  inaugural  meeting  at  the  Bridge  Uooae 
Hotel  in  Southwark  on  the  10th  of  May, 
when  Henry  Drummond,  esq.,  M.P., 
F.R.S.,  presided.  It  was  announced  that 
the  Society  had  enrolled  365  members,  of 
whom  38  had  paid  life  subscriptions  of  fiye 
pounds.  The  annual  subscription  is  fixed 
at  ten  shillings,  with  ten  shillings  entrance. 
Mr.  Drummond  addressed  the  meeting  in 
an  introductory  discourse,  in  which  he  ad- 
vanced many  excellent  arguments  for  the 
pursuit  of  archieological  research ;  and  be

could  have  been  committed  to  the  prcM 
without  iti  aid.  Tlie  income  of  the  Society 
daring  the  lait  year  has  been  nearly  600/. ; 
and  the  Auditors  re]>urt  a  balance  in  hand 
of  2'«'8/. 

Tlie  SAaketpeare  Society  has  made  its 
exit  from  the  literary  stage,  and  vre  regret 
to  add,  like  many  improyident  members  of 
the  histrionic  profession,  in  embarrassed 
circumstances.  Thegrcat  mistake  through* 
out  its  career  has  been  printing  too  large 
a  number  of  copies  of  its  works,  relying 
upon  the  world-wide  popuUirity  of  the 
name  of  its  patron.  The  remaining  copies 
have  been  sold  by  auction  at  a  woefully 
depreciated  rate. 

A  new  printing  club  of  the  aristocratic 
and  ciclusivc  class  hns  been  formed  of 
gentlemen  interested  in  the  history,  col- 
Usction,  and  peculiarities  of  curious  books. 
It  has  assumed  for  its  name  The  PhiiO' 
kiblon,  the  term  used  by  Richard  de  Bury 
to  designate  such  pursuits.  It  purposes 
treading  in  the  steps  of  the  Rozburghe 
Club ;  to  further  bibliographical  pursuits, 
and  print  private  miscellanies.  The  society 
consists  of  thirty  members,  with  Prince 
Albert  as  Patron,  the  Earl  of  Gosford  as 
President,  and  two  joint-secretaries,  the 
Belgian  Minister  and  Mr.  Monckton 
Mihies.  The  meetings  for  the  transaction 
of  business  take  place  on  the  last  Saturdays 
in  the  month,  from  February  to  July 
indusive. 

The  anniversary  dinner  of  the  Literary 
Fund  Society  was  held  on  the  3rd  of  May, 
at  the  Albion  Tavern,  (the  Freemasons* 
being  pre-engaged,)  when  Liord  Viscount 
Mahon  presided,  and  delivered  a  very  able 
and  well-eoosidcred  address.  It  was  an- 
nounced that  the  relief  distributed  during 
the  past  year  had  amounted  to  1,4<)()/., 
among  H  pcrsonK,  of  whom  31  were 
gentlemen,  and  10*  were  ladies.

In  consequence  of  the  destruction  and

and  maintaining  the  Public  Statues  in  the 
metropolis.  The  selection  of  the  monu- 
ments named  in  the  schedule  haa  been  re-

proposes  to  assume  the  custody  of  Charles 
the  First  at  Charing-cross ;  Charlea  the

assigned  Par  some  of  these  cxceptioDs  is, 
that  the  stataes  are  private  property  ;  that

Duke  of  Portland,  th4t  of  Mr.  Fox  to  the

and  containing  portraita  of  Wellington, 
Napoleon,  Ney,  Aogleae»^  Hnrdinge,  and

by  a  noble  simplicity,  and  promiaes  to  be 
a  fine  work.

and  the  Duke  of  Argyll  has  purchased  the

same  celebrated  artist,  for  250  gs.  It 
appears,  however,  that  these  pictures  are 
not  the  originals.  The  real  "  Francesca

square  n  new  Panorama  qf  Berlin.     U  is 

taken  from  the  dome  of  the  cathedral,  and 
comprehends  moat  of  the  magnificeut  public 
edifices  of  that  noble  city.  In  other  re- 
spects, from  the  flatness  of  the  locality,  the 
view  it  deficient  in  any  striking  features ; 
but  the  artkta  have  manifested,  if  possible, 
more  than  their  ordinary  skill  in  the 
management  of  aerial  perspective,  In  which 
the  view  is  perfect. 

In  regard  to  the  proposed  opening  to 
the  south  of  5^/.  PauVn  Cathedral,  a  deput- 
ation from  the  committee  of  the  Institute 
of  British  Architects,  accompanied  by  Mr. 
Masterman,  M.P.,asd  Sir  J.  Duke,  M<P., 
attended  by  appointment  (upon  the  15th  of 
May)  the  Improvement  Committee  of  the 
corporation.  Mr.  Titc,  on  the  part  of  the 
deputation,  explained  the  views  of  the 
architects  in  regard  thereto,  and  what  had 
been  the  wishes  with  respect  to  the  ap. 
preaches  to  the  catbedml  of  Sir  C.  Wren, 
ilr.  Hardwickc  read  a  letter  from  Lord 
John  Russell^  expressiog  his  entire  con- 
currence with  the  object  of  the  deputation. 
Mr.  Sydney  Smirke  and  Mr.  Masterman 
observed,  that  the  concession  of  the  land 
would  be  gratefully  rcceivcfi  by  the  public. 
The  chairman  replied,  that  the  Improve- 
ment Commitlee  as  trustees  must  proceed 
with  caution.  With  the  great  schemea 
already  before  tTiera,  the  loss  of  GO,OQO/. 
was  an  important  item.  To  afford  the 
public  time  for  consideration,  the  corpora- 
tion have  railed  off  the  space  in  question, 
which  affords  a  most  charming  view  of  the 
CathedraL  We  hope  it  will  never  be  agam 
hid  from  view* 

The  old  parish  church  of  St.  Nicholas  at 
Brighion  has  been  restored,  in  combina* 
tion  with  a  monumental  memorial  to  the 
Duke  of  Wellington,  who,  it  will  be  re- 
membered, was  sometime  a  pupil  of  Mr« 
Wngner,  the  grandfather  of  the  present 
Vicar  of  Brighton^  Few  churches  were 
formerly  more  choked  up  with  gallcricn. 
These  have  been  wholly  removed.  The 
aisles  have  been  both  lengthened  and 
widened:  and  the  monumental  tablets 
have  been  wholly  removed  from  the  walli 
and  pillars,  and  ranged  all  together  apoa 
the  walls  at  the  western  end  of  the  ttrnc* 
ture.  We  think  such  sweeping  measures 
are  scarcely  justitiable  as  regards  the  inter* 
cstcd  parties  who  have  heretofore  paid  for 
their  erection,  nor  altckgether  commend- 
able  in  point  of  taste,  as  monuments  of 
beauty  and  of  interest  are  condemned  alike 
with  the  rest.  However,  the  mutilated 
pllUrs  have  been  restored  with  Bolney 
stone — their  original  material ;  the  whole 
structure  has  been  thoroughly  refit- 
ted with  open  seats  (c^culated  to  ac- 
commodate 8:15  personi),  the  chancel*

been  recently  placed  iti  the  cathedral  of 
Dunketd  to  tiic  memory  of  the  late  DettO.

of  which  are  seen  withiu  an  arcade  of 
three  pointed  arches,  supported  by  sleodcir 
columns  of  Italian  Byzantine  cbajractrr. 
The  chief  beauty  of  the  design  conaisU  in 
the  general  arrangement,  and  the  richnesa 
and  the  beauty  of  the  ornamental  borders, 
which  are  relieved  by  colour^  and  other

By  Charles  Knight.  12mo,— The  first  por-

his  Weekly  Volume  in  the  year  1H44.

Tiew  of  the  progress  of  the  Press  down  to 


our  own  day,  especially  in  relation  to  the 
important  department  of  Cheap  PopttUr 
Literature.  Of  this  Litter  subject  a  better

men  ta tors  than  the  early  ausaU  of  the  art 
of  Printing;  atUI^  the  known  fact«  con- 
nected  with  it«  introduction  into  this 
country  are  few,  and  we  think  may  ba 
clearly  understood  and  appreciated.  The 
main  fact  is  tbi«,  that  pnntin^  waa  first 
aet  on  foot  in  this  country  by  William 
CaztoD  in  the  year  1474,  and  not  at  an 
earlier  dat£  by  Frederick  CoracUis.  The 
latter  Bappoaition  ia  diitinctly  and  aatia- 
factorily  ahown  to  be  unfounded  by  Mr. 
Knight,  lie  dnes  not  however  quite  so 
diattuctly  &k  the  precise  epoch  of  the  esta- 
hliahnaeat  of  Caxton's  presa.  Caxtoo 
Mmself  commemorated  the  date  very  pro* 
mioently  in  what  is  called  hid  **  mark/' 
(affiled^  us  was  cuHtomary,  to  every  book 
he  issued,)  which  was  formed  of  the  inter- 
laced figuroi  74,  accompanied  by  the 
initiali  of  hia  name;  aud  the  same  was 
continued  by  hi<  oaslatant  and  succeaaor, 
Wjnkyn  di»  Worde.  But  the  plEuuest  and 
pnoat  conapicuoua  monuments  ure  lubject 
to  the  ohlitemtions  of  time  and  ignorance. 
The  meaning  of  those  Arabic  figures  waa 
forgotten,  and  after  a  while,  from  their 
obsolete  form,  they  were  even  no  longer 
In  the  catalogue  of  the  produc* 
I  of  Caxtoa^B  press,  which  Mr.  Knigbt 
I  ad  an  Appendix  to  his  narrative,  and 
wlileh  was  supplied  to  bim  by  Sir  Henry 
Ellis^  there  are  three  works  bearing  an 
earlier  date  than  1474.  The  first  of  these 
ia  **  Le  Recuerl  des  Histoires  dc  Troyes," 
written  by  Robert  le  Fe^re,  which  was 
printed  before  the  death  of  Philip  Duke 
of  Burgundy  in  14ti7.  The  second  is  the 
speech  made  by  Dr.  Edward  Russell  to 
Charles  Duke  of  Burgundy  in  1469-  These 
are  admitted  to  be  "doubtfur' as  pro- 
ductiimfl  of  Caxton.  The  tiiird  is  •*  The 
Recuyell  of  the  Historyes  of  Troye,'' 
transiated  by  Caxton  from  the  French 
"  Recueili"— **  whych  sayd  translacion  and 
werke  was  begonne  in  Bruges  in  14G8  and 
ended  in  the  holy  cyte  of  Colen  19  Sept. 
141 U"  Now,  Mr.  Knight  aaanmea,  as 
his  predecessors  have  done,  that  Caxton 
priniedt  as  well  as  translated,  this  book. 
This  we  think  is  an  unauthorised  assump- 
tion. The  typographical  antiquaries  have 
based  their  conclusions  upon  a  atmilarity 
of  type*  Mr.  Knight*a  own  remarks  upon 
this  point  are  well  founded :  ''  If  (be  says) 
the  resemblance  of  types  were  sufficient  to 


determine  tbe  printer  of  two  or  nioi* 
books,  tlten  Fust  and  Sclusffer  ought  to 
be  called  tlie  printers  of  the  French  •'  Re- 
cueil  "  oa  well  as  of  the  Eogltsh  which 
Caxton  aaya  he  printed  [or  caused  to  b« 
printed]  at  Cologne.  There  can  be  little 
doubt  that,  when  Caxton  went  to  Cologne 
to  be  a  printer  [?]  in  1471,  he  became 
possessed  of  the  types  and  matrices  witli 
which  he  printed  his  translation  of  Le 
Fevre,  and  subsequently  brought  to  Eng- 
land to  print  his  *  Game  of  Chess/  "  At 
the  end  of  the  English  **  Recuyell/*  Cax- 
ton makes  special  boast  of  the  book  being 
printed.  **  I  have  practised  and  learned, 
at  my  great  charge  anci  dispense^  to  ordain 
this  said  book  in  print,  after  the  manner 
and  form  as  you  may  here  see.''  He  had 
superintended,  and  probably  asaitted,  in 
its  printing.  Still  we  cannot  regard  the 
mere  circumstance  of  procnring  the  print* 
ing  of  hia  own  work  to  be  eqnivalent 
to  setting  up  as  a  printer.  The  art  was 
first  commenced  in  Cologne  in  the  year 
1470  by  one  Conrad  Winters^  and  he  pro- 
bably was  the  real  printer  of  tbe  RecnydU 
It  was  yet  three  years  later  before  Caxtoa 
bimsel/  became  a  printer,  and  then  he  set 
up  hit  press  within  the  abbey  of  West- 
miosterj  his  first  production  being  '*  The 
Game  and  PI  aye  of  the  Chesse,  translated 
out  of  the  French,  fynysshid  the  la^^t  day 
of  Marche,  1474.*'  His  subsequent  career 
b  well  known  from  his  productions,  which 
were  numerous  until  hia  death  in  1491. 
At  the  close  of  his  career  we  have  a  little 
contemporary  evidence  respecting  Mm 
from  the  churchwardens''  accounts  of  St. 
Margaret's,  Westminster :  and  here  we 
re|;ret  that  Mr.  Knight  has  not  availed 
himself  in  full  of  that  source  of  informa* 
tion.*  In  an  imaginary  conversation 
among  the  surviving  coadjutors  of  the 
venerable  Printer,  he  makes  Wynkya  de 
Wordfi  say,  '*The  Churchwardens  of  St. 
Margaret*8  asked  me  six-and-eight'pence 
yesterday  for  the  volume  that  our  master 
left  the  parish ;  for  not  a  copy  can  I  get, 
if  we  should  want  to  print  again.  Six- 
and-eightpence  I  That  was  exactly  what 
he  charged  bis  customers  for  the  volume." 
In  this  passage  we  cannot  be  surprised 
that  tbe  imagination  of  the  writer  should 
originally  have  deviated  from  the  facta, 
hut  we  regret  that  he  should  retain  such 
deviations  in  the  spite  of  evidence  to  the 
contrary.  It  misrcprcAeoti  Caxton's  be* 
quest  to  the  parish  of  St.  Margaret^s  as 


*  In  our  Magazine  for  May,  l(i48,  will 
be  found  accurate  copiei  of  all  the  entries 
relative  to  Caxton  in  tlic  church  war  dens'

Walcott,  then  Curate  of  the  parish.

of  Cftxton's  death*  and  it  was  not  fiutihcd 
nntil  the  20th  May*  1493,— that  h  (to  all 
appearance)  two  years  after,  and  yet  we 
hftTC  repeated  testimony  of  the  church- 
ward ena  of  St.  Margjirel,  that  the  books 
were  **of  the  beqoeat  of  William  Caiton/' 
There  is  another  oversight  of  Mr. 
Knight's  which  has  passed  into  this  new 
edition  of  C  ax  ton's  biography  uncorrected. 
After  stating  that  the  princess  Margaret 
of  York  was  married  to  Charles  of  Bur- 
gundy on  the  3rd  July,  1468,  he  adds 
that  **we  have  the  distinct  evidence  of 
Caxton  that  he  was  rrsiding  at  Bruges 
sOQie  months  previous  to  tlic  marriage^*' 
beotiise  lie  states  that  his  transUtton  of 
the  Recuyell  of  the  HLstoryes  of  Troye 
was  bi'gun  at  Bruges  on  the  first  day  of 
March  1<I$8  (p.  64,  and  again  p.  75). 
But  the  biographer  here  lotes  sight  of  tlie 
old  style  of  cocnputation  ;  and  the  1st 
March,  I46t^,  was  douhtteis  etght  months 
after,  and  not  four  months  before,  the 
marriage  of  the  English  princess* 

There  is  stiU  one  other  imperfection 
which  should  be  amended  in  a  future 
edition.  A  wood-cut  is  given  of  the  illu- 
minated draw ing  in  the  BritUh  Museum 
of  Lydgate  *'  prcirtttrng  a  book  to  the 
Earl  of  Salisbury;'*  but,  as  there  are  tno 
figures  kneeling  before  the  Eurl,  any  reader 
to  whom  the  subject  is  new  would  not  know 
which  of  the  two  is  intended  for  the  Foet. 
No  doubt  Mr.  Knight  is  well  nware  lUut 
the  Monk  is  Lydgate,  and  the  Pilgrim  is 
in  fact  a  personification  of  his  book  :  hut 
as  the  Utter  ii  the  more  prominent  figvire, 
for  want  of  explanation,  there  is  much 
room  for  doubt,  if  not  for  misappre- 
hension. 

We  may  add  that  the  coujecture  that  the 
Wilham  Caxtoo  who  was  buried  at  Saint 
Margaret's,  Westmingter,  in  l480,wttB  the 
father  of  the  Printer,  in  very  improbable, 
inasmuch  as  the  Printer  himself  is  sup- 
posed to  have  been  I'ighty  at  hts  death  in

not  equally  worthless,  it  would  be  more

wfti  culled  Amiicy  Crucia,  or  Ainney  Holy

hut  the  cross  may  have  owed  its  beauty 
in  jmrt  to  the  idi^ti^  whkh  the  name  of  the 
filace  suggested.  The  manor  belon^d  to 
the  oiookt  of  Tewkesbury ;  and  tljey  would 
naturally  wish  to  adorn  the  »pot  with  a 
crois  wortlij  of  its  name.  We  find  that 
on  the  territoiy  described  as  Omenie  or 
Oiuend  in  the  Domesday  Survey  three 
parish  churches  were  erected »  which  were 
dedicated  respectively  to  St.  Mary,  St. 
Peter^  and  the  Holy  Crosg.  The  present 
writer  appears  to  suspect  that  the  Holy 
Rood  of  Amucy  was  au  object  of  pilgrim- 
age, hut  he  has  not  adduced  any  proof  of 
luch  having  been  the  fact.  The  head  of 
the  churchyaid  cross  (of^hichtbe  frontis- 
piece exhibits  representatious«  cleverly 
tithographed  iu  imitation  of  calotypes,) 
has  four  Bculplured  faces.  Of  these  the 
two  wider,  or  fronts,  contain  t be  holy  rood 
with  Mary  and  Johu^  and  the  Virgin  seated 
with  her  holy  infant;  yid  the  narrower 
ends,  or  ^ide^,  hare  standing  figures  of  an 
ecclesiastic  and  a  knight,  Ttie  former 
statue  it  assigned  by  Mr.  Pooky  to  Gyrnl- 
dus  the  first  abhat  of  Tewkesbury ;  and 
the  latter  to  its  founder  Robert  Fitz- 
Haimon.  These  ei planations  aeem  exceed-

is  attributed  to  abbat  Parker,  at  the  close 
of  the  fourteenth  century.

year  1841,  entitled  **  Music  and  Manners 


in  France  ami  Germany/'  mach  of  which 
wc  remember  reading  with  great  interest, 
and  are  very  glad  to  see  transferred  into 
the  present  volumes,  together  with  a  large 
quantity  of,  if  not  fresher,  at  least  mneh 
better  written  matter.  If  in  the  original 
work  there  was  somethitig  more  unpro- 
fessional, and  therefore  perhnpa  more 
likely  to  please  the  uoprofesiional  and  le&a 
instructed  portion  of  his  readers  tban  iu 
the  present,  that  remark  must  be  made 
with  an  important  reservation  Iu  favour  of 
numerous  pasi^agea  in  which  a  mattered 
mindf  an  enlarged  experience  of  life,  and 
a  stronger  hokl  on  great  principles  are 
visible.  As  in  the  announcement  at  the 
end  of  the  volume  Mr.  Chortey  promisca 
to  treat  of  "The  Religion  and  Morals  of 
Genius,  in  a  series  of  Essays  and  Itlnstra- 
tioas/'  it  is  particnlarly  agreeable  to  re- 
mark these  traces  of  deepened  thought 
and  feeling.  It  cannot  but  be  that  cer- 
tain faults  of  mannerism  are  particularly 
apt  to  haunt  the  journalist.  That  he 
should  try  to  escape  from  what  is  com- 
mon-place, who  can  wonder?  Tl%at  the 
endeavour  should  sometimes  appear  over- 
strained, and  the  use  of  language  artificinl, 
Is,  in  certain  stages  of  his  progress,  likely 
enough.  The  only  refuge  for  him  is  to 
get  into  the  nobler,  the  more  real  life  of 
art  and  of  nature,  in  which  the  mastery 
of  language  is  complete ^  by  retfion  of  its 
being  the  simple  utterance  of  an  enriched 
mind,  faithful  in  its  own  afpi rations  after 
progress,  and  an  eye  of  greater  discern-

poatpooed  In  cooserpience  of  the  death  of 
the  learned  and  pious  author,  partly  be* 
cause  the  re^iaion  of  the  preface  had  not 
been  completed^  and  partly  in  the  hope  of 
ftnding  an  appendix  among  hit  papers. 
TbtB  expectation  not  having  been  realised^ 
the  work  is  published  aa  he  leil  it,  having 
been  submitted  for  verbal  revision  only  to 
the  care  of  his  friend  Professor  Jeremie. 
It  ia  designed  to  assist  the  student  lu 
studying  the  Arian  controversy,  with  re- 
ference in  part  to  Gihhon  and  also  to 
Newman's  History  of  the  Ariaus,*  It 
also  contains  aome  account  of  the  four 
orations  of  Athanaaiua  againat  the  Arians, 
and  of  the  tract  De  Incamatione  Christi. 


*  The  author  thinks  Gibbon  impartial 
as  the  controveniy  did  not  lie  between 
Chriatians  and  heathen  philosophers,  but 
between  Christians,  on  whom  "  he  is 
content  to  look  down  with  contemptuous 
impartiality*'''  (preface,  p.  Ti»)  The  readfr 
may  compare  this  with  what  M,  Gulf-ot 
says  of  Or*  Lingard's  impartiality  '*  between 
the  king  and  the  parliament/'  (l:liat.  of

This  sermon  now  receives  a  posthumoua 
notice,  aa  the  author  has  suddenly  been 
removed.  Criticism  of  course  is  out  of 
place  under  the  circumstances,  and  there- 
fore we  have  merely  to  state  that  it  wai 
preached  (from  John  vi.  67,  68)  at  the 
reopeoing  of  m  church  in  the  author 'a

favourable  and  unfavourable.  (Nov.  1849.) 
This  portion  is  now  revised,  and  con* 
aiderably  enlarged,  as  itcoutaioB  252  pages 
instead  of  176.  We  are  glad  to  see  that 
Dr.  Peile  has  expunged  a  dictatorial  pas- 
sage in  the  preface,  in  which  he  called  on 
the  American  commentator,  Mr,  [lodge, 
'*to  reconsider  and  revise  what,  as  it

topics,  OS  the  same  armtmr  serves  to  defend 
the  wearer  agaiiuit  diderent  enemies.  But 
it  is  hazardous  to  say  (p.  7)  that  sacra*

the  Jews  from  Christ  (see  John  vi.)i  and 
u  €l'>ud  of  controversiul  dust  is  rcibed  hy

Jowering  the  preacher  to  the  orator  (p.  20) ; 
and,  if  Tillotaou  has  done  ao  oogentty,  it 
is  to  extort  an  argumant  from  an  enemy.

art  and  parient  rultwre.  They  **  who 
strive  for  the  fotindation  of  a  principle  '' 
should  indeed  do  fo,  **  regarding  nought 
as  trivial ;  '*  and  when  they  endeavour  lo

her  highest  destination,  they  i^hotild  take 
care  to  set  their  ejrecri/tre  as  well  as  their 
imayinatwtf  standard  high  ;  they  should 
not  add  to  the  already  too  prevalent  notion 
that  the  freedom  of  woman  is  apt  to  be  an 
unregulated,  di.iorderly,  sketchy  thing. 
There  are  beautiful  passages  in  these

The  eleclbn  of  several  new  members 
trss  announced,  iiiL-Iuding  His  Grace  the 
Dulie  of  Hamilton  ami  the  Lord  lyondes- 
borough.  Mr.  Yates  read  a  roemoir  by 
Dr.  LcemanSp  the  distinguished  antiquary 
of  Holland,  Curator  of  the  Leyden  Mu- 
seum, relating  to  certain  weapons  and 
implements  of  stone,  such  as  axe- hen ds, 
wedges,  iVc.  found  in  Java  and  nnrneo, 
and  preserved  amongst  the  irotlections  at 
Leydeo,  The  rdiqiit^s  of  the  primeval 
period  in  atmosst  nil  countiiis  prei>ent  cer- 
ttiiu  features  of  jiialogy,  but  it  is  interest- 
ing to  compnre  together  the  vestiges  of  the 
rude  tribes  by  whom  our  own  country  and 
other  parts  of  Europe*  were  occupieAl  with 
those  of  remote  nations.  The  axc-heads, 
wedges,  and  other  A!>latic  antiquities  of 
which  Mr.  Yates  producnl  drawings  by 
Dr.  LeecnauBi  comprise  some  forms  wholly 
unknown  nmong^t  Euro^iean  reliques  of  a 
iitnilar  ck^s.  The  materials  employed  in 
their  formuiiofi  are  basalt,  quartz,  horn- 
stone^  chalcedony,  jasper,  and  other  sub- 
stances abou-^ding  in  Java  ;  but  there  are 
CO ni«i derations  connected  with  the  snbject 
which  have  led  to  the  supposition  that  the 
island  was  once  inhabited  by  an  African 
or  I  ndo- African  population ,  The  popular 
tradition  of  the  Javanese  attributes  tlie 
origin  of  the  stone  wtdges  to  thunder- 
storms, a  circnm stance  deserving  of  note* 
since  in  various  parish  of  Europe  such 
objects  are  called    thunder  hnmniers  or

thundrr-bolts.  The  stone  reliques  found 
in  llornco  are  regarded  by  the  inhabit&ntSy 
as  were  the  ftint  arrow-heatls  or  elf*boIts 
by  the  Scotieih  highbinder:^,  with  a  certain 
superstitious  veneration,  They  arc  pre- 
served in  bag*  of  woven  cane,  nnd  sus- 
pended ill  their  dwellings  aniongi$t  their 
Eimnlet.^. 

In  illusti-utian  of  this  subject  Mr.  Yates 
inviti^d  nttention  to  the  vcr^  instructive 
scries  of  Scandinavian  stone  wcripons  and 
implements  from  the  nnuiifeum  of  Mr, 
Ruach  Smith,  ami  exhibited  on  this  occa-^ 
fiion  with  htK  kind  permi««iion.  They  bad 
been  preseiiled  to  Mr.  Roach  Smith  by 
the  King  of  Denmark,  and  are  of  much 
interest  for  the  jnurpose  of  comparison 
with  the  objects  of  the  *' Stone  Period/' 
found  in  the  Briti<ih  Islands.  Mr.  Smith 
had  aUo  sent  for  the  inspection  of  the 
Institute  two  stone  axes  of  large  dimen- 
sions and  skilful  workuiansLip,  discovered 
at  Hillyardsr  near  Shanklin,  in  t!>e  Isle  of 
Wight. 

Mr.  O'Neill  offered  tiomc  remarks  OA 
the  sculptured  designs  of  certain  Crosses 
in  Ireland,  of  which  he  had  prepared 
drawings  for  his  publication  now  in  pro- 
gress. He  produced  rubbings  from  a  sin- 
gular design  on  a  cross  at  Kilklispeen, 
representing  a  funeral  procession,  the 
headless  cnrpse  being  conveyed  on  a  horse, 
and  accompanied  by  seven  persons  appa- 
rently bisliops.  He  also  exhibited  repre- 
sentations of  a  richly  sculptured  croas  al 
Tuam,  i-emarkable  for  it?  great  height, 
which  in  its  perfect  state  had  been  about

Terlocb  O^Couor,  tbc  king,  wbo  liyed  In 
tbc  twelftb  century.  In  the  conversation 
which  ensued,  Mr.  Cbantrell  observed 
tbeit  many  sculptured  jelique«>  exist  in  the 
northern  comities  resembling  in  charocter 
those  from  Iretaud,  to  mrhkh  the  attention 
of  the  Society  had  been  colled  on  several 
occa^ioDs  by  Mr.  O'Neill,  and  he  men* 
Uoned  some  valuable  examples  eitbting  in 
Yorkshire.  Mr.  Westwnod  expressed  his 
opinion  of  the  value  of  these  sculptures  us 
the  oidy  remaining  materials  of  their  class 
for  the  illoElration  of  the  early  history  of 
art  in  tlus  country,  and  staled  his  feeling 
that  an  important  service  would  be  ren- 
dered to  archecoioglcal  science  by  the 
conscientious  reproduction  of  a  series  of 
thcae  early  aeulplures,  similar  in  the  fidelity 
of  detail  and  appreciation  of  tbe  pecwliar 
character  of  their  ornamentation  to  the 
TAluable  publication  on  the  sculptured 
monuments  in  North  BritolDp  produced 
by  Mr.  Patrick  Chalmeri. 

Tlie  Rev,  Edward  Trollope  gave  an 
account  of  a  lingular  decorative  pavement 
existing  at  Rhcims  ;  and  he  exhibited  re- 
presentations  of  sevenil  portions  of  the 
work>  whicb  appear*!  to  be  of  the  thirteenth 
century.  The  subjects  are  from  Old  Tes- 
tament history;  they  ai-e  portrayed  by  an 
iiDiMual  mode  of  art,  as  applied  to  the 
eurichment  of  pavements.  Each  subject 
is  designed  in  outline  on  a  large  quarry  of 
atone,  and,  the  lines  being  filled  iii  with 
leadf  the  decoration  waa  rendered  very 
dursbte^  and  many  of  the  stabs  remain  in 
a  perfect  state. 

Mr.  Hawkins  addressed  the  meeting, 
calling  the  attetitton  of  the  Society  to  the 
resulta  which  must  inevitably  attend  tbc 
dettructioa  of  Churches  and  Grave-yards^ 
through  the  proposed  Bill  now  before 
Parliament.  He  urged  upon  the  consi- 
deration of  all  who  take  interest  in  the 
conservation  of  national  monuments  and 
memorials*  the  reckless  annihilation  of 
all  sepulchral  inscriptions  and  tablets, 
which  had  occurred  on  previous  occasion b, 
where  cburchea  in  Loudon  had  been  s.icri- 
Hced  to  the  alleged  demands  of  public 
convenience ;  and  he  strongly  expressed 
Lis  apprehension,  that  extensive  evils 
must  arise  if  the  project  were  carried  into 
effect,  and  so  large  a  number  of  aucieut 
parish  churches  in  the  City  of  London 
were  destroyed.  Mr.  Hawkins  suggested 
Ihc  propriety  of  addressing  a  memorial 
to  Her  Mnjc.sty*s  Secretary  of  State  for 
the  Home  Department*  praying  for  con- 
lideratioo  of  thie  iniportant  subject,  and 


the  provbloD  Of  som^  means  whereby'  tli 

sepulchral  memorials  in  the  various  di^ 
crated  churches  might  be  rescued  frofl 
destruction  ;  and  that  in  al!  cases  whefl 
the  removal  of  any  ancient  parish  chu 
might  be  deemed  requisite,  all  monumentj 
inscriptions  might  be  transcribed  with 
care,  and  enregistcied*  Mr,  Hawkh 
adverted  to  their  value,  as  eridence  lo  qn 
tions  of  de«;centf  and  in  support  of  righfel 
to  property  and  personal  privileges, 
denng  the  subject  well  deserving,  as 
appeared,  of  the  attention  of  Her  Ma 
jesty'a  Government,  at  a  time  when  B 
extensive  a  work  of  desecration  waa  !fl 
contemplation. 

The  Rev.  Joseph  Hunter  made   &otii«l 
remarks   on   the    importantanee    of    the 
queation  bro tight  before  the    Society  by 
Mr.  Hawkins,  and  urged  upon  the  altea<>' 
tion  of  the  meeting,  how  desirable  it  nct\  ' 
that  all  moumcntal  inscriptions  through*** 
out  the  kingdom  should  be  systematic»Hj 
recorded  ;    their  effect  as  legal   evidcoc 
might  perhApa  have  been  over-Talucd  b^ 
»ome,  but  they  nre  of  the  highest  utility 
and   interest   to  the  genealogist  and  the 
topographer    He  thought  that  the  incum- 
benta  of  parishes  might  cause  regis tratiotmj 
to    be   made  of   tuch   inscriptions,    atid| 
secure  the   preservation  of   -   "— ^nnetlf 
record.      It  was  then  pr  Mf.1 

MattbewB,  seconded  by  M ,  ',  and] 

unanimously  ngrecd,  that  a  men[i(»r!a 
should  be  forthwith  prepared,  to  be*  trana 
mltted  on  behalf  of  the  Institute  to  the 
Home  Department, 

Mr,  Nesbitt  produced  some  rnbbitigt^ 
from  sepulchral  br.issc:*  in  Poland,  as 
one  of  a  singular  memorial  of  that  kind  i 
Erfurt  Cathedral,  representing  a  cand 
who  died  in  1505.  Tlw  upper  part  of  th 
figure  is  eo graved  on  brass  plate,  the 
lower  portion  being  sculptured  in  low 
relief  J  the  heraldic  ncce^soncs  are  veryj 
curious.  Mr.  Nesbitt  r.xhibited  ils 
several  admirable  casts  from  gculptur 
ivories,  ctuefly  existing  at  Parts,  con 
prising  some  in  the  collection  of  M.  Sats^ 
vagcotp  one  of  which  had  been  considered 
to  be  of  English  work  ;  and  some  fina 
examples  in  Mr.  Founlaine's  coUecUon  at 
Narford  Hall. 

The  Rev.  W,  Sneyd  exhibited  seTCf 
beautiful  enamels,  and  media*val  works  j

The  uiemorial  which  had  been  addressed 
to  Vifloount  FdmersioD,  in  purfiuance  of 
the  resolution  carried  at  the  previous 
meeting,  in  regard  to  the  pre  serration  of 
Sepulchral  Memorials,  was  rea^l,  as  also 
the  answer  which  had  been  received  from 
the  Home  Office,  ackuowledging  the  re- 
ceipt of  the  remonstrance  of  the  Institute. 
A  discussion  ensued,  in  which  a  strong 
feeling  was  shewn  that  some  conservative 
precautions  were  especially  cidled  for  in 
the  exiaiing  emergency,  A  communica- 
tion was  received  from  Mr.  Marklaod^ 
eipressive  of  hit  anxious  wish  that  some 
influence  might  be  exerted  to  arrest  the 
threatened  desecration  of  churches  and 
monumental  memorials.  The  Rev.Tbomaa 
Hugo  stated  that  he  Imd  seen,  during  the 
past  weck,mutilated  grave-slabs  and  tombs 
carted  away  through  the  streets  as  rubbish 
from  one  of  the  churches  in  the  city. 
Amongst  the  parish  churches  of  which  the 
deatructioD  is  contemplated,  were,  as  Mr. 
Hugo  observed,  some  of  those  most  inter* 
eating  in  their  architectural  features,  as 
well  as  the  character  of  their  sepulchral 
memotriali,  now  to  be  found  in  London. 
He  meiitiooAd  eap^cUUy  St,  Helen's  and 


St.  EthelburgaV,  whicli  present  portiDiLt

Crosby,  the  builder  of  Crosby  Hall,  are 
amongit  those  now  in  Jeopardy,  through 
the  scheme  of  church-deat ruction. 

After  conversation, in  which  Mr.  Morgan, 
Mr.  Vcrnou,  Mr,  Hawkins,  and  many 
menibers  present  took  part,  it  was  deter- 
mined that  the  Central  Committee  should 
re<|ue&t  an  interview  with  the  Bishop  of 
London,  urgently  to  request  his  considera- 
tioti  of  the  evils  apprehended  from  the  ill- 
advised  sacrifice  of  so  many  consecrated 
sites. 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Todd  gave  an  account  of 
the  recent  discovery  of  a  large  hoard  of 
gold  oruaments  in  the  County  Clare,  of 
which  he  produced  the  more  remarkablo 
specuuens,  which  present  some  feattires  of 
novelty  in  the  series  of  objects  apparently 
intended  to  be  worn  as  collars  or  gorgets. 
The  precise  place  where  this  discovery 
occurred  had  not  been  ascertained.  Such 
diacorcrie»,  Dr.  Todd  observed,  are  usu- 
ally attinided  with  much  mystery,  through 
the  apprebenaioti  of  the  claim  of  ''  trea- 
tture-trove  ;"'  and  the  injurious  result,  oa 
regards  science,  is  too  frequently  expe> 
rienced  iu  Ireland,  sinca  rcUques  of  this 
nature  are  often  hatitily  condemned  to  the 
crucible,  aud  the  evidence  which  is  of  es- 
senttJil  value  to  the  arcbteologist  is  loit.  In 
the  present  initanco  he  had  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  a  very  large  treasure  bad  been 
found  in  a  railway  catting ;  the  great  mats 
of  the  gold  had  been  bought  by  a  jeweller 
in  Umerick  and  immedintidy  melted  down. 
The  remarkable  and  novel  types  presented 
by  the  (evt  pieces  which  had  come  into  the 
possession  of  the  Royal  Iri&h  Acadeuiy, 
and  T^hicli  were  now  exhibited  to  the  Insti- 
tute, must  cause  great  regret  that  the 
entire  hoard  had  not  been  examined  by 
8omc  antiquary  competeat  to  make  a  selec-^ 
tioD.  Mr,  Hawkins  offered  some  remarks 
on  the  law  of  trea^urc-truve,  and  the 
auccciiful  manner  in  which  the  recent 
regulations  in  Denmark  had  operated. 
Mr.  Clayton,  of  Newcaitlc,  stated  some 
facta  which  had  occurred  in  the  Nortli 
within  his  knowledge,  ahewing  the  preju- 
dicial results  which  may  ariiie  from  the 
claim  ;  and  the  Rev.  John  Webb  offered 
some  remarka  to  the  same  eifect,  citing  on 
important  discovery  of  Roman  aurei  in 
Worcestershire;  be  observed  that  it  was  a 
circumstance  worthy  of  note,  that  Richard 
Coeur  de  Lion  lost  his  life  owing  to  the 
attempt  Co  enforce  this  feodal  ckim  at 
Chala2.

The  priQctpil  subject  uppeared  to  he 
Ariadne  seated  on  Et,  panther^  and  nil  the 
nccompanifing  ornnnienU  of  the  deaiKti 
were  of  a  bacchanalian  character.  He 
supposed  that  it  had  probably  formed  the 
floor  of  tt  banqucting-room.  The  design  is 
of  Ane  charaetcr^  aod  Mr.  HawktQi  bad 
entertained  the  hope  that  the  pivement 
might  have  been  obtained  for  the  collec- 
tion of  national  antiquities  at  the  British 
Museum,  to  which  a  gootl  example  of  tea* 
sellated  work  would  form  a  valtisble  acces- 
sion i  biit,ai*  he  wfts  informed,  it  had  been 
secured  for  the  Sydenham  Crystal  Palace. 
Mr.  West  wood  remarked  tliat  a  portion  of 
a  Be  pule  bra  L  slnb  of  the  Anglo-SaicoQ  age 
had  been  brought  to  light  in  the  same  ex- 
cavations whicii  hail  disclosed  to  view  this 
mosaic  floor  ;  and  he  hoped  that  tt  would 
not  be  neglected,  as  such  relitiues  are  of 
considerable  rarity  amongist  the  discofcrics 
made  hitherto  in  London,  The  Rev,  T. 
Hugo  remarked  that,  as  he  had  been  as- 
sured, a  second  mosaic  floor  eiiats  adjoin- 
ing to  that  already  uncovered,  and  tlic 
porfionK  fdready  found  teemed  to  shew 
that  its  design  is  superior  to  that  of  the 
Ariadne* 

Mr.  O'Neill  exhibited  some  rubbing* 
from  the  sculpt nires  on  crosses  at  Monos* 
terboice  and  Termonfcchin ;  tlie  latter 
presenting  on  one  side  a  figure  crucified, 
and  on  the  other  a  figure  holding  b  cross 
in  the  left  hand^  and  a  staff  with  a  double 
volute  in  the  right :  human  heads  are  intro- 
duced on  the  transverse  limbs.  Mr.  O'Ncil! 
sought  to  shew,  by  certain  exnmpks  whicih 
lie  produced,  that  the  origin  of  the  inter* 
laced  or  riband  ornament  on  the  Irish 
eroiset  had  been,  as  technically  termed, 
"  xoomorphic/*  or  derived  from  animal 
forms.  In  proof  of  this  assertion,  he  od- 
duccd  examples  of  seq>eiits  intertwined,  of 
interlaced  orniiment  presenting  in  part 
serpent-forms^  and^  lastly ,  triple  whorl  a 
and  iuterbccd  ornaments,  devoid  of  any 
trace  of  animal  forms.  This  curious  rjues- 
tion  appears  well  deserving  of  close  atten- 
tion, and  the  beat  clue  to  the  true  chro- 
nology of  these  varied  types  of  ornament 
may  be  doubtlessly  obtained  from  MSS. 
of  which  the  date  can  be  ascertained,  in 
preference  to  sculptures  which  are  rarely 
assignable  to  any  precise  pi'rioJ* 

Dr.  Todd  made  some  obacrifltious  upon 
these  sculptures  in  IreUnd;  and  he  stated 
that  a  very  curiouK  relique  had  rccetitly 
b«en  communicated  to  the  Kilkenny  Ar- 
cl)«olf>gical  Society,  which  had  excited 
much  attention.  It  was  a  short  staff  of 
metal,  richly  wrought  in  the  style  of  the 
Irish  shrines  and  sacred  objects,  of  which 
so  fine  a  series  had  been  bst  year  dis- 
played in  the  Archaeological  Court,  formed 
tinder  Lord  Talbot's  direction  at  Dublin. 


This  siiigutar  object^  of  which  he  ahowe 
8  sketch,  bons  some  resemblance  in  for 
to  the  pastoral  staff  carried  by  bishops  an 
abbots  of  the  Greek  Church,  resefDbliQf  t 
crutch,  of  which  the  handle  or  cro«»-f* 
was  formed  with  two  beads  of  a  Armg 
or  some  animaU  turned  upwards  snd 
curved.  Mr.  Westwood  observed  lb 
similar  objects  now  used  in  the  Rti 
Greek  Church  ore  represented  in  the  i 
nificentwork  on  the  Antiquities  of  Russia, 
of  which  a  copy  had  recently  been  acqtiired 
for  the  British  Museum.  Mr.  Nightingale 
stated  that  the  pastoral  staff,  which  he 
had  seen  commonly  in  use  in  the  oriental 
churches,  bears  u  close  resemblance  in  form 
to  the  object  found  in  Ireland.  Ita  con- 
struction appears,  however,  rather  to  in* 
dicate  that  it  was  the  handle  which  served 
for  cHrrying  in  procession  some  sacred 
object  which  wais  affixed  to  it. 

Mr.  Howlctt  gave  a  detailed  accoant  of 
the  various  mccbfinical  means  for  faotli' 
tating  the  accurate  delineation  of  build, 
ings,  landscnpes,  &c.,  and  saggested  a 
metbo<l  which  he  had  used  with  advantage, 
and  which  he  considered  well  .idapted  for 
the  use  of  nrchfeolrtglats,  who  were  not 
adepts  ill  the  art  of  design,  or  who  might 
desire  some  aid  in  rapidly  and  correctly 
producing  representations  of  any  objects 
wliich  fell  in  their  way.  Mr,  Howlett*s 
mode  of  proceeding  is  to  draw  with  a 
crayon  upon  glass  placed  in  an  ervct  frame, 
80  tliat  the  eye  being  fixed  by  ineana  of  a 
stationary  sight  or  point  of  view  in  fn>at, 
the  objcctij  t>ecn  through  the  transparent 
plane  might  be  delineated,  and  the  crayon 
lines  aflerwards  traced  on  paper.  Mr. 
lio«lett  observed  that  it  would  be  very 
desirable  to  have  a  complete  survey  of  all 
national  monuments,  as  Government  had 
alrcTdy  directed  lite  Ordnance  Survey  of 
the  Geographical  and  Geological  features 
of  the  British  Islands;  and  he  thought  that  * 
an  accurate  delineation  in  outline  by  i 
snch  mechanical  means  might  prove  avail^ 
able  in  a  very  satisfactory  manner  for  at&Gh 
a  purpose.  Mr.  Le  Kenx  suggested  that 
the  prodnctions  of  photography  w^otild  be 
infinitely  preferable,  both  in  detail  and  in 
their  unrivalled  accuracy. 

Mr.  Bernhard  Smith  brought  some  early 
weapons  of  stone  and  bronxe,  and  two 
curious  daggfrs  of  Indian  workmanchip. 
The  Rev.  IT.  Hugo  exhibited  a  bronae 
armlet,  probably  lloman,  lately  found  in 
Bucklersbury.  Mr.  Figg  commuuicated 
the  discovery  of  an  enamelled  relique  of 
hronse,  in  a  tumulus  near  JLewea*  Mr. 
C.  Tucker  exhibited  several  beantifal  gold 
rings  found  io  Devonshire;  one  of  lh«m 
thus  inscribed, — "  Droit  nsaye  pur  fern

the  books  to  have  been  tirrangeil  in  »lalt^r 
designated  by  the  letters  of  the  altdmbet, 
and  the  classing  seems  to  have  been  made 
partly  in  reference  to  individual  authors  ; 
for  instance,  the  works  of  St,  Augustine 
are  in  one  stall,  of  Dcda  in  another.  Their 
early  date  is  mwrked  espednlly  by  the

April  21,  This  Society  held  its  annual 
meeting  at  Eye,  and,  notwithstanding  the 
very  inclement  weather  in  the  e;irty  part 
of  the  raoiniiig,  was  attended  by  a  nu- 
merous party  of  Brcbrcologists,  with  the 
iLoblu  PreiiidenI  of  the  IiistitiUe,  the  Rev. 
Lord  Arthur  Hervey,  at  their  head,  and  a 
few  zealouH  friends  from  the  Norfolk 
Archtevlogieal  Society.  The  firat  place 
visited  was  the  intercBting  Church  of 
Yaxley,  which  oftera  many  attractions  to 
the  eeclesiul agist.  Its  porch,  of  late  per- 
pendicular work,  is  one  of  the  bandsomei t 
in  the  county,  with  some  curiona  figures 
in  the  spaodrils  of  the  arch  of  entrance. 
The  pulpit  is  the  finest  of  the  Jacobean 
period  in  the  county  ;  and  the  rood  screen, 
which  i^  entire,  retaiiu  ttie  figures  of  St. 
Clare,  St.  Dorothy,  St.  Birbara,  and  St. 
Mury  Magdalen,  which  adorned  the  lower 
panels  on  the  south  side.  In  the  chancel 
aVe  the  old  choir  seats,  a  Holy  Sejmlchre, 
and  a  low-^idc  window,  and  ihe  caat 
window  contains  some  fine  fragroenta  of 
painted  glass. 

The  party  next  proceeded  to  the  As- 
sembly kooms  at  Eye,  where  the  annual 
report  of  the  Committee  was  read.  It 
stated  that  since  the  last  anniversary

April  20*  The  Rev.  John  Gunn  road 
an  interesting  paper  respcn^ting  the  pa- 
rishes of  Irstead  and  Barton  Turf.  The 
lurf  formation  tu  the  valleys  of  B^rtoEi 
Turf  and  Irsteai)»  from  the  rapidity  of  its 
conversion  from  water  to  solid  land,  is 
singularly  adapted  for  the  preservation  of 
any  articles  that  may  have  been  accident- 
ally dropped  into  the  water,  as  coinsy 
crockery,  and  every  description  of  imple- 
menta  or  utensils — ancient  canoes  or  boats, 
skeletons  of  men  and  animals.  Some 
coins  nf  Edward  lit,  were  found  in  cut- 
ting turf,  about  two  feet  beneath  the  pre- 
sent surface^  near  the  boundaries  of  Cat- 
field  and  Irstead,  proving  that  wdtcr  pre- 
vailed on  the  surfaee.  and  indicating  also 
the  depth  which  covered  the  ground  while 
such  coins  were  current.  The  mode  in 
which  turf  beds  are  formed,  and  water  is 
converted  into  terra  firm  a,  Mr.  Gunu  hns 
observed  during  his  residence  at  Irstead, 
now  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century.  There 
is  a  magui6cent  broad^  part  in  Barton 
Turf  and  part  in  Irstead^  besides  another 
smaller  one;  and  in  many  part*  where  he 
could  sail  his  boat  tweuty-foor  years  ago 
in  part  of  Barton  and  Irstead  Broad,  be 
ow  walk  without  wetting  his  feet ; 
irhere  knd  was  in  the  same  condition 
at  which  will  nuw  just  bear  his 
weight,  heavy  cattle  art;  feeding  and  carts 
and  horses  are  borne  upoo  it.  The  pro- 
cess by  which  these  changes  are  effected 
is  this — eed|i^  and  rushes  grow  at  certain 
depths  in  the  water,  and  if  not  cut  down 
annually,  their  roots  lose  their  hold  in  the 
GBgT.  Maq.  Vot,  XLI. 


muddy  soilt  and  risCi  forming  floating 
mosfes  or  small  islands.  Tliese  are  drifted 
about  by  the  wind  and  currents,  till  they 
settle  in  some  spot  where,  if  the  water  is 
deep,  they  float  upon  the  surface  till  they 
gradually  decay  and  aink  to  the  bottom, 
and  aueceasive  layers  silt  or  fill  up  the 
deep  waterj  or  if  it  be  shallow,  the  floating 
islands  are  stranded*  and  soon  form  solid 
land.  This  process,  which  is  a  matter  of 
observation,  will  account  for  the  finding 
roota  of  rushes  deposited  at  great  depths 
beneath  the  surface,  apparently  ns  if  they 
had  grown  there,  ten  or  twenty  feet  be- 
neath the  level  of  the  water.  It  has  been 
by  no  means  uncommon  to  find  human 
bones  associated  with  the  bones  of  ^tet^ 
and  of  the  Bos  primigenins,  at  a  consider- 
able depth  beneath  the  turf  deposit. 

Mr.  Guiiu  next  introduced  »ome  obser- 
vations on  the  rhnnges  which  have  taken 
place  in  the  customs  and  modes  of  life  of 
the  inhabitants  since  the  decay  of  what 
may  be  termed  the  manorial  system.  At 
one  time  there  was  u  sub-di^'isiou  of  the 
Irstead  manor  into  **  the  Lower  and 
Upper ;  "  and  when  wc  consider  that  but 
a  sm nil  part  of  the  acreage  of  this  parish 
was  then  under  plough,  compared  with 
what  there  rs  at  present,  it  must  be  a 
matter  of  surprise  that  a  lord  of  the  manor 
at  that  lime  cnuld  inaiiitain  his  dignity, 
and  occupy  the  spacious  halls  which  still 
bear  evidence  of  his  state.  The  difllcolty 
of  accounting  for  this  is  increased  by  the 
fact  that  two  or  three  entire  parishes  aro 
required  to  maintain  the  establishment 
of  one  country  squire  at  the  present  day. 
In  explanation  of  this  Mr.  Gunn  suggested 
that  *'  theexfent  of  water,  rough  woodlund, 
and  morasses,  furnished  the  lords  of  the 
mnnor  of  the  olden  time  with  amusemeut 
and  occupation  in  hunting,  hawking,  flshlng, 
otter  hunting,  and  badger  baiting,  every 
day  in  the  week,  besides  the  necessity  for 
destroying  pole-cats  and  foiea.  They  fur- 
nished his  table  also  with  venison,  game, 
and  fish  in  ab  an  dance.  The  Titlains  were 
enf^aged  in  cultivating  tlie  soil,  and  fur- 
nished suflirient  corn  for  food  snd  barley 
to  cheer  them  all  with  the  old  English 
beverage.  Thus  they  had  no  occasion  to 
travel  for  amusement  sake,  or  to  indulge 
in  expensive  foreign  wines  for  their  eihl- 
liration  It  appears  to  me  that  a  satis- 
factory solution  is  thus  afl^orded  to  the 
problem  how  the  dignity  of  the  lords  of 
manors  could  be  maintained  on  so  small 
an  area  as  was  under  their  jurifidiction. 
We  read  too  of  their  driving  their  car- 
riages and  four  horses,  and  this  gives  ua 
an  idea  of  considerable  style.  Their 
horses,  however,  were  employed  in  culti- 
vating the  land,  and  occasionally  taken 
from  the  cart  and  applied  to  the  carriage  t

YORKSHEAE  ANTIClU A.RI A.N  CLUB. 

April  1 9.  Mr,  Procter  gave  an  account 
of  the  diacovery  of  the  remains  of  a  Roman 
villa,  recently  made  abont  three  miles  from 
Thorp  Arch.  The  site  is  a  field  knowu  by 
the  name  of  Dalton  Parlours,  and  which, 
before  the  inclosuret  formed  part  of  Clif'- 
ford  Moor.  It  was  formerly  called  Abbey 
Field,  from  the  remains  of  walla  then  ex- 
isting, and  which  were  remnved  about  the 
year  1806.  The  field  is  now  tilled,  and  at 
various  periods  coins,  tiles,  and  other  re- 
mains  of  Roman  occupation  have  bc«Q 
ploughed  up.  During  the  present  spring 
the  Rev.  B.  EamonsoQ,  of  Collingham, 
and  F.  R.  Carroll,  esq,  of  Thorp  Arch, 
decided  to  examine  the  site,  and  invited 
several  gentlemen  to  view  the  result.  The 
portion  of  the  villa  thus  discovered  cod* 
sists,  in  the  lirgt  place,  of  two  rooms,  with 
the  remains  of  hypocausts*  The  western 
one,  which  measured  8  ft.  G  in.  by  8  ft,  2  io. 
had  five  rows  of  pillars,  each  row  being  five 
in  number,  built  of  Ihe  usual  flat  Roman 
tiles,  and  three  feet  in  height.  Thts  room 
bad  been  mach  larger,  but  part  bad  been 
pr«vioosly  destroyed  and  its  boundaries 
obliterated.  At  its  western  end  were  the 
remains  of  a  fire-place,  On  the  cast  it 
was  bouTided  by  a  wall,  communicating 
with  a  second  hypocaust  by  on  opening 
like  a  flue.  This  chamber  was  nearly  of 
the  same  siz«^  and  bod  piUon  of  stone  as 


well  as  of  tile,  the  samo  In  nunaUer  aad 
arrangement  as  was  observed  in  the  first* 
These  pillars  seem  to  have  supported  a 
floor  of  thick  concrete,  laid  on  tiles  or 
flag:;,  passing  across  the  top  of  the  pillar*. 
Amongbtt  the  remains  were  found  a  uumber 
of  square  hollow  tiles,  with  an  opeiting;  in 
one  »iUe  for  the  conveyance  of  hot  air. 
At  the  eastern  end  of  this  secoxid  hvpo* 
canst  was  a  space  of  IS  feet  loog^  Wnich 
had  not  been  excavated  except  by  a  broad 
trench  extending  diagonaljy  ocroas  it,  wblcib 
revealed  nothing  but  a  large  number  of 
tesserae,  which  had  probably  formed  part 
of  a  floor.  Beyond  this  was  a  slab  of  cod- 
Crete,  7  feet  by  S  feet,  and  grooved  at  one 
corner,  as  if  to  allow  the  escape  of  wat^r; 
this  had  no  doubt  formed  the  bottom  of  « 
bath  ;  and  further  on  was  found  a  groared 
channel  set  in  atones,  and  in  connecUoo 
with  the  grooved  comer  of  the  alab  ol 
concrete.  The  excavations  will  be  coo* 
tinued.  Numerous  skeletoos  have  been 
fouud  near  the  remains,  and  in  one  case 
interment  under  tiles  seems  to  have  beca 
adopted.  Coins  of  Antoninus  Fins*  Poa- 
tumus,  ConatantiDe»  &c.  have  been  found 
in  the  locality. 

Mr.  Fritcbctt,  jon*  exhibited  Acrreral 
Greek  and  Roman  coins  found  near  RIpoo. 
He  also  produced  a  skull  which  had  re- 
cently been  dug  out  of  a  barrow  at  Aldro» 

Mr.  Cook  Ethowed  a  silver  coin  of  Edred^ 
and  a  Roman  bell,  both  found  near  York.

in  the  county  of  Sligo,  in  one  of  the 
valleys  of  which  culled  Carrick-no«horao 
stand  a  number  of  huge  primeval  mona-

marked  by  the  decaying  hand  of  time.

The  text  of  ttie  treaties  of  Const  ant  i*

former,  which  was  signed  on  the  ]«th  of 
March  by  Geo.  Baraguay  d'Uillierfl,  Lord 
Stratford  de  Redcliffe^and  Redschid  Patiha, 
OS  plenipotentiaries  for  iheir  respective 
sovereigns,  engages  the  western  powers 
to  HSnd  assistance  by  land  us  well  as  sea 
to  the  support  of  the  Ottoman  empire,  und 
provides  for  the  action  of  the  allied  Army 
witliout  control  or  interfere  net?  on  the  part 
of  the  Turkish  government,  which,  how- 
ever, irt  bownd  to  afford  every  aid  nnd

ply It  is  likewise  agreed  that  no  separate 
overtures  for  peace  shall  be  received  by 
uny  of  the  contracting  jKiwera,  and  es- 
pecisilly  that  ihc  Sultan  shall  conclude  no 
nrmistiic  or  engage  iu  uny  ncgocialton  for 
a  peace  withnut  the  consent  of  his  allies. 
Lo^tly,  the  Eraptror  of  the  French  aiitl  her 
Britannic  Mojebty  engage  to  withdraw  from 
the  Ottoman  territory  immediately  on  the 
conclusion  of  a  peace,  and  to  give  up  to 
the  Turkish  authorities  nil  the  fortresses 
or  positions  they  may  have  occupied  with- 
in forty  days  from  the  exchange  of  the 
ratification  of  a  treaty  by  which  the  war 


shall  be  termioated.  The  treaty  of  Berlin 
of  the  20lh  of  April  binds  the  contra ctfng 
powers  of  Austria  and  Prussia  to  n.  strict 
offensive  and  defensive  alliance.  It  stafea 
the  regret  with  which  these  Govenimcnta 
have  seen  the  outbreak  of  bostilitfa 
between  Rusjsia  and  the  Western  Fowe 
and  engages  them  to  continue  their  elTofi 
for  a  pacification.     It  provides  that  if  i 

of  the  powers  (Austria)  should  find  it      

I  e?snry  to  take  aji  active  part,  the  oilier 
would  take  incasurca  to  protect  that  nctinn ; 
but  thnt  if  Russia  should  advTi         '  j

dare  war.  The  continued  occu^.^.,  i.  i>f 
the  Priticipolities  for  an  ioitrfinite  period

The  DanuLian  Vrotinces.  —  On  the 
2iJth  of  April  the  Turks  under  Sali  Paiha 
crossed  the  Duuubc  fram  Nlcopolia, 
routed  the  Ilus«iuns,  took  two  guni*,  and

L^JLcfiScr  Walluchia.  Between  the  nvcr 
I^Jpbyl  and  Radova  they  were  met  by  the 
Turks,  and  a  sanguinary  conflict  took 
place,  which  ended  in  the  Rusm>-u)s  being 
driven  flCTO;a  the  river.  On  the  lOth  of 
May  Said  Pasha  with  irjOU  men  crossed 
the  Danube  la  boats,  near  Giurgcvo. 
He  destroyed  some  Russian  batteries  and 


returned  to  the  right  bank.  On  the  1:2th 
a  flgbt  took  place  at  Oltenitza,  when  300 
Boshi-Bazoiiks  had  crossed  the  river  and 
attacked  a  fortified  post  occupied  by  the 
Russians.  They  wero  repulsed  with  the 
loss  of  200  men.  The  floods  in  the  Danube 
had  suspended  the  Russmn  operations 
against  Slliiitria,  which  had  received  no 
damage  from  the  distant  canuoDsde  to 
which  ft  had  for  some  time  b«en  sub* 
jectcd.  Some  oalworks  have  however 
been  destroyed.  On  the  ItJth  terms  were 
oflV:red  by  Marshal  Pa<»kiewitch  to  Mus&a 
Pasha,  the  governor  of  Silistria  j  and  on 
the  17  th,  on  the  refmal  of  theaa  terms, 
the  bomhnrdaient  was  r ccommeDoed.  The 
head  quarters  of  M,  Faakiewitch  are  at 
Ralarasch.  An  attack  took  place  on  the 
21  s^t,  but  while  the  Russian  accounts  re- 
present it  as  successful,  and  having  been 
followed  by  the  ofler  ,of  capitulation  by 
the  Turkish  governor,  the  Turkish  reports 
state  that  it  was  repulsed. 

The  following  is  the  present  posidon 
and  strength  of  the  two  armies  on  the 
Danube :— The  Russian  extreme  right  is 
posted  along  the  left  bank  of  the  Aiuta. 
The  reserve  is  at  Pilestj,  au  important 
town  of  Great  Wallnchia,  '20  leagues  to 
the  N,>\\  of  Buehareat.  Tlie  centre  ex- 
tends from  Giurgcvo,  op^iosite  to  Rut- 
schuk,  to  Katarasch  and  Rassova^  along 
the  left  hank  of  the  Danube,  having  its 
reserve  at  Bucharest,  M  leagues  from  the 
river.  The  left  wing  begins  at  Rassova, 
and  occupies  the  Dobriidscha,  communl-- 
cating,  by  Odessa,  with  the  troops  of 
Osten-Sacken*  Its  reserve  occupies  Mat- 
sehin  and  its  vicinity.  The  line  of  opera- 
tions of  the  Ru^iian  army  stretches  over 
a  distance  of  at  least  50  leagues,  from  the 
Alula  to  the  mouths  of  the  Danubtt,  Its 
force  is  calcnlited  at  between  150,000  and 
18(1,000  men.  The  second  reserves  are 
still  on  the  banks  of  the  Dnieper,  their 
ert^eclive  force  being  unknown.  The  Turks, 
whu  have  likewise  effected  a  movement  of 
concent  ration  since  their  adversaries}  aban- 
doned the  environs  of  Kalafat,  occupy  the 
following  positions  .—Their  left  wing  is 
on  tjjc  rij^ht  honk  of  tlie  Atuta,  with  its 
head-quarters  near  SIfltina,  and  its  reserve 
at  Krajova,  communicating  with  tlie 
centre  by  the  Danube,  towards  the  conflu-

cciving  inforraatton  of  thii  owtrngc,  Ad- 
mirals Dundas  and  HameUnwith  the  maia 
body  of  the  fleet  set  sail  for  Odessi.  On 
the  ^Ut  a  ftrtg  of  tmce  was  sent  to  demand 
that  all  the  French  and  English  vessels  in 
the  harbour  should  be  given  up.  As  no 
answer  was  received  up  to  seven  a.m.,  on 
the  2Snd  six  English  and  three  French 
steamers,  with  six  rocket- boats,  under  the 
immediate  orders  of  Captain  Jonei,  opened 
lire  on  the  Imperial  fort  and  mole,  and 
Rusfian  vessels  lying  there.  By  three 
p.m.  the  magazine  was  blown  up,  the  forts 
Were  destroyed,  and  the  ships  sunk  or 
burnt.  The  city  of  Odessa,  and  the  mole 
containing  tho  merchant  vessels  of  all 
nations,  were  not  nmlejited.  The  English 
loss  was  only  one  killed  and  ten  wounded, 
and  that  of  the  French  two  killed  and  three 
wounded.  The  damage  done  by  thcenemy*s 
fire  wns  trifling.  The  French  steam-frtgate 
Vaubau  wa»  set  on  fire  by  red-hot  shot, 
but  by  the  ooo!  couvnge  and  actif  Sty  of  her 
captain  and  crew  the  lire  was  speedily  ex* 
tiDguishcd. 

During  the  eonfusion  of  the  attack  nine 
Engtiah  and  two  French  merchantmen 
eaoaped  ftrom  the  harbour.  The  loss  of 
the  Russians  has  been  estimated  at  90O 
kilted  and  300  wounded.  Gen.  Osten 
Saekcn  only  ackoowledges  the  loss  of  4

fiient  of  iHsven  steamers  was  desputched  to 
operate  against  the  Russian  forts  on  the 
ClrCftssian  coast.  It  Is  reported  fhat  the 
Roisians,  despairing  of  tnaintaimng  these 
forts,  hate  sbnndoned  tliem  all,  and  retired 
upon  Kutais  in  Imeritia.  They  were  im- 
mediately occupied  by  the  Circaaslans,  who 
took  1500  RuaetaQ  prisouen  at  Soukkum

The  truth  may  be  merely  that  the  fire  wa«J

OBITUARY. 


Thk  Duke  of  Parma. 

March  ^6.  At  Pfirma,  aged  31,  Ferdi- 
nand ChnTlea  (HI.)  Josepb  Maris  Vittorio 
BallbasRr  de  Bourboo,  Infante  of  Spain, 
Dnkc  of  Parma,  Piaceaza^  and  tbc  states 
annexed. 

The  sovcri'ignty  of  Par  ma  descended  to 
the  Spttni^b  Bourbons  by  tbe  marriage  of 
tbc  heiresH  of  Parnese  to  Philip  the  Filth 
of  Spain.  Hit  sons,  Cbarlen  the  First 
(afterwards  Cbnrlcs  the  Third  of  Spain) 
and  Pbibp,  were  both  Dnkca  of  Parma,  as 
was  bis  ^nodi&on  Ferdinand  (a  son  of  the 
latter),  who  by  the  Archclucheu  Maria- 
AmeHa,  daughter  of  th«  Emperor  Francis  L 
had  issue  Lnuls  King  of  Etruria.  Loois 
married  the  Infantft  Maria-Louisa- Jose- 
phinaof  Spain,  who  was  hia  cousin-germm 
by  her  mother,  and  second-cousin  by  her 
paternal  grandfather  Charies  HI,  From 
this  marriage  was  bom  Charles  H,  Duke 
of  Parma,  the  father  of  the  nuhject  of  the 
present  notice.  This  prince  (who  is  still 
living)  was  formerly  Duke  of  Lucca,  in 
which  principality  be  succeeded  his  mother 
m  1821.  In  Oct.  1847  he  ceded  Lucca  to 
Tuscany ;  and  in  December  of  the  same 
year,  on  the  death  of  the  Archduchess 
Maria- Louisa,  the  widow  of  the  Emperor 
Napoleott,  he  sacceeded  to  the  sovereignty 
of  Parma,  Piacentia,  &c.  After  a  reign  of 
only  fifteen  months  he  abdicated  in  favour 
of  hif  son,  who  assumed  the  title  of 
Charles  the  Third. 

This  prince  was  born  on  the  14th  Jan. 
1B23,  his  mother  being  the  Princess  The- 
tes.1  of  Sardinin,  daughter  of  King  Victor- 
Emmannel,  Having  succeeded  to  the 
dnohics  by  the  abdication  of  his  father, 
dated  the  Hth  March,  1819,  he  assumed 
the  reins  of  governuient  by  n  proclamatioa 
dited  the  27th  Anguit  following.  His 
reign  has  been  one  continual  period  of 
arbitrary  misrule.  The  duchy  had  been 
declared  in  a  state  of  siege  in  1B48,  and 
the  state  of  aiege  continues  to  this  day. 
Every  college,  school,  and  seminary  wss 
closed  in  1848,  and  the  youth  of  the  duchy 
have  ever  since  bee  ndenied  all  education, 
either  at  home  or  abroad.  The  Duke  used 
the  public  moneys  to  any  extent,  and  at 
any  time  it  suited  his  purpose.  He  fixed 
no  limits  to  the  civil  list,  and  gave  no 
account  of  either  rerenne  or  expeuditure. 
He  allowed  no  *" —  - "'-  ' '♦om. 

He  sobr«**^ 
and  hlf 
i 


Yorkshire  jockey,  or  groom,  named  Ward. 
Besides  the  outrages  which  lignalized  every 
year  of  his  reign,  the  Duke  had  lately 
driTcn  the  people  to  despair  by  a  forced 
loan  of  eight  millions,  which  would  haTc 
achieved  the  ruin  of  the  landowoers, — a 
loan  for  which  neither  war  nor  any  public 
calamity  could  afford  a  shade  of  a  pretext. 
To  give  an  idea  of  the  manner  in  which 
this  money  was  squnndered  away,  it  is 
sufficient  to  say,  that,  on  the  occasion  of 
his  !ate  journey  to  Madrid^ — a  journey  un- 
dertaken for  the  sole  purpose  of  following 
a  woman  with  whom  he  had  some  in- 
trigue— he  took  with  him  300,000  francs 
oat  of  the  money  which  had  been  destined 
for  the  construction  of  a  railway,  A  sum 
of  the  same  amount  he  had  iuTested  In  a 
diamond,  intended  as  a  wedding  present 
to  the  future  Empress  of  Austria,  and  for 
that  wedding  he  was  preparing  himself, 
with  all  his  court,  to  travel  to  Vienna  in 
grand  statCi  aud  at  an  enormous  cost. 
Immense  sums  were  alio  lavished  to  keep 
up  an  ormy  of  5000  men,  though  be  could 
not  yet  dispense  with,  and  htid  dearly  to 
pay  for,  Austrian  garrisons  in  all  his  towns ; 
and  he  had  lately  been  extravagant  in  ea* 
dowing,  painting,  and  gilding  the  Operm- 
house.  He  had  disgusted  his  people  by  a 
life  such  as  even  Italian  courts  had  been 
unused  to,  and  had  given  serious  cause  of 
offence  to  his  Duchess,  who  in  vain  at- 
tempted to  recall  him  to  a  better  course, 
and  to  withdraw  him  from  the  fatal  in- 
fluence of  minions,  especially  of  Baron 
Ward,  whom  he  had  made  his  prime 
minister  at  home,  and  general  agent  and 
representative  abroad. 

The  Duke  was  assassinated  on  the  26th 
of  March .  Various  accounts  of  the  occur- 
rence have  been  circulated.  It  was  at  first 
stated  to  have  been  perpetrated  by  a  soldier 
in  a  low  wine-shop ;  but  it  now  appears 
that  it  occurred  as  follows ; — The  Duke 
WAS  walking  In  the  Strada  Santa  Lucia, 
dressed  in  the  costume  of  an  Hungarian 
general,  and  accompanied  by  an  aide-de- 
camp. As  he  passed  a  by-street  called 
Borgo  San  Giorgio,  a  man  rushed  upon 
him  and  stabbed  liim  in  the  stomach.  The 
assassin  immediately  ejected  hb  escape^ 
in  which  he  was  evidently  favoured  by  the 
by-standers,  and  he  has  not  since  been 
discovered.  On  the  following  day  it  was 
fmmd  that  the  wires  of  the  telegraphic  line 
•*''»'»rine  with  Lombardy  had  been

Few  and  unimportant  are    tbe  de 
which  have  been  pr»erved  to  us  of 
gallant  nobleman  s  early  youth.     Wbe 
still  young,  he  was  placed  at  Wcitmirist^ 
School,  and  after  leaving  Westrointlcr*  T 
was  entered  at  Chriatchurch,  Oxford,  i 
was  created  M.A.  ou  the2@th  June,  17fi 
At  the  beginningof  the  Revolationoi^ i 
in   179J,  Lord  Paget,  with    all    Xh^it 
vacioQs   impetuosity  which  diaiiuguiaha 
his  snbsequtnt  career,  raised  amatig 
father's  tenantry  the  SOth  E«giiiieal 
Pooti  or  Staffordshire  Volunteers, 
have   since   distinguished    themaelvea 
many  a  hard* fought  field,  frofu  the  Pyr; 
mida  to  the  Sutlej.     When  Doropleted 
600  men,  Lord  Paget  was  preaeated  witl 
the    Lieutenant- Colonelcy,    and    on 
more  being  added,  his  Lordship  was  ofl 
the  Colonelcy,  which  he  declmed»  < 
ground  of  his  not  having  then  be 
foreign  service.     Meanwhile,  he  reoaiv 
the  commissions  of  Lieutenant  in  the  7t 
Foot,  March    11,  17f^3;  CapUin   ia 
tiSdd,  on    the  25 tb  March ;  Major   iii   th 
(jath,  on  the  2,9th  May  ;  and   Licut.*Co 
lonel  on  the  l!^th  Sept.  1793.     Hia  faiherj 
who  had  for  many  years  commanded  th 
Staffordshire,    or    King's    Owi 
which    was    permanently     quorte 
Windsor,  under  the  immediate  eye  c  _ 

George  the  Third,  eagerly  seconded  Hit^ 
disposition  of  hia  son  to  take  a  share  id 
the  vast  military  movements  which  wore 
then  going  forward.  Accordingly,  three 
months  after  the  letter  of  service.  Lord 
Paget,  with  his  regiment,  embarked  k  r 
Guernsey,  and  from  thence,  in  17114,  he 
joined  his  Royal  Highness  the  Duke  of 
York  in  Flanders;  and  in  the  alternate 
cbeckt  and  tnompbi  of  that  caiDpai^ 
commenced  hia  military  career.  Iq  the 
disastrous  repulse  of  Turcoing  he  first 
earned  a  name  for  dashing  bravery.  From 
the  date  of  that  important  check  the 
Engli&h  troops  lost  ground  daily,  retired 
rapidly  upon  Bois4e-Duc,  and  from  thence 
across  the  Meuse,  During  this  aie!mora,ble 
retreat,  which  was  ctfected  in  the  midst  of 
an  inf^nsc  frost,  and  in  want  of  aloiQel 
every  necessary,  Lord  Paget,  at  the  be*d 
of  bis  gallant  80th,  acquired  additional 
laurels  ;  and,  although  at  that  time  only 
26  years  of  age,  he,  during  the  temporary 
absence  of  Lord  C&lhcart,  had  the  di&tinc* 
tion  of  replacing  that  officer  at  the  head  of 
the  brigade. 

Ou  the  l,>tli  June,  1794,  his  Lor<lahir> 
was  appointed  Lieut.-Colonel  of  the  ICtb 
Light  Dragoons;  on  the  .Id  May«  1796^

•ent  down  to  Iptwich  for  drill.  There  H 
wu  that  hit  lordship  commeDoed  that 
fteriei  of  erolutioos,  and  Uid  the  foiinda- 
tioQ  of  that  system  of  dtsGipline,  iivbich 
effected  an  entire  reform  in  cavalry  prac- 
tice. 

Lord  Paget  waa  merobei*  for  the  Car- 
narToa  dbtrict  of  boroughs  in  the  ptrlia- 
ment  of  1790-6. 

At  the  clo»©  of  ir99  he  again  prepared 
to  accompany  the  Dtike  of  York  io  the 
eipedition  to  Holland.  In  the  (general 
attack  made  on  the  2nii  Oct.  1799,  Lord 
Paget  waa  attached  to  the  difiiion  under 
the  command  of  the  Ruuian  General  de 
Herman t  posted  on  the  Sand  HilU,  where 
hia  brilliant  cavalry  manoeaTrea  contrthuted 
materially  to  the  victory  that  day  obtained 
by  British  troops  under  circumstances  of 
the  moat  discouraging  nature,  l^te  in 
the  evening  the  enemy'a  cavalry,  having 
been  defeated  in  an  attempt  which  they 
made  upon  the  Drittsh  Horse  Artillery^ 
were  charged  by  Lord  Paget*  s  brigade  and 
driven  back  with  considerable  lota,  nearly 
to  £gmont-op-Zee.  In  the  final  retreat 
hia  lordahip's  arduous  aervicea  were  recog- 
nised by  his  being  honoured  with  the  dt^- 
ciilt  and  dangerous  duty  of  protecting  the 
rear.  While  engaged  in  this  doty,  tome 
)}iee«s  of  our  canoon  having  been  cap- 
tared  in  a  skirmiib,  hii  lordihip,  with  one 
tquadron,  made  a  deaperate  attack  upon 
the  force  of  Gen,  Simon,  amounting  to 
leven  squadrona^  utterly  routed  them,  and 
recajiturcd  the  British  and  five  of  the 
enemy's  cannon,  fustaining  a  merely  no* 
mtoal  fotf. 

Soon  after  the  return  of  the  army  from 
Holland,  on  the  Itt  July,  179S,  Lord 
Paget  wat  united  to  Lady  Caroline  Etiaa- 
beth  VlUicrt,  daughter  of  the  Earl  of 
Jersey,  by  whom  he  had  eight  children, 
but  with  whom,  neverthcteaa,  he  did  not 
lead  ao  happy  a  life  aa  might  have  been 
Anticipated.  It  terminated  in  a  divorce, 
pronounced  by  the  Scotch  courta  in  1ft  10, 
when  her  ladyahip  was  remarried  to  the 
Dnke  of  Argyll.     She  died  in  l^^^.'). 

After  this  time  Lord  Paget  remained  for 
some  yeara  devoting  himself  entirety  to 
the  discharge  of  his  regimental  duties* 
By  his  unremitting  attention  nnd  admirable 
discipUtief  the  7th  Light  Dragoons,  in 
which  he  took  much  pride,  became  one  of 
the  firat  cavalry  corps  In  the  service.  He

1802;  ail  11125,1808.

was  ordered  into  8p(Lin  with  t^^ 
of  cavalry,  consisting  of  the 
I5tb,  and  li^th  regiments  of  Hi* «•"•''« 
itreiigthen  Uic  corps  of  the  ftfi 
Sir    David    Baird,    who    wai 
through  Qatllria  for  the  ptirp<»ar 


log  a  junction  with  the  main  body  advane- 
if>g  upon  SalKmanca^  under  the  brave  but 
unfortunate  Sir  John  Moore.  Lord  Paget 
disembarked  his  force  at  Coranna,amidst  in- 
numerable difficulties  opposed  by  the  want 
of  forage,  the  i--^^-  M  he  Spaniards,  and 
the  InsufficicTi  hey  afforded,  and 

proceeded  in  U  .  Mken  by  the  di vi- 

sion of  Sir  David  Baird.  On  the  1 0th 
Dec.  Lord  Paget  arrived  at  Zamora,  and, 
after  a  long  and  laborious  march,  brought 
up  to  the  assistance  of  Sir  John  an  active 
and  well-equippfd  body  of  cavalry. 

In  the  retreat  his  cavalry  brigade  brought 
up  the  rear,  when  kit  lordship's  aomewhat 
impradeot  ardour  frequently  exposed  him 
to  Imminent  danger.  SkirmiabeSf  of 
course,  were  of  more  than  daily  occur- 
rence ;  but  by  the  masterly  disposition  of 
hit  lordship,  and  the  consummate  disci- 
pline  and  alacrity  he  had  infused  into  hia 
brigades,  the  British  troops  were  enabled 
to  continue  their  retreat  with  trifling  lost. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  retreat 
his  lordshfp  put  himself  at  the  bead  of 
four  hundred  of  his  men  at  Sahagun,  and 
resolutely  attacked  a  body  of  nine  hundred 
French.  The  English  fought  with  incre- 
dible valour,  putting  the  enemy  to  Aigbt» 
and  capturing  nearly  two  hundred  men, 
besidea  thirty  killed  and  several  more 
wounded. 

Soon  after,  in  passing  Mayaga,  Lord 
Paget  heard  that  a  party  of  the  enemy 
was  in  the  town.  On  reconootteringt  he 
discovered  two  squadrona  withont  and  a 
small  party  within.  Ordering  op  two 
squadrons  of  the  tenth  Dragoons,  be  id* 
vanced  through  the  town,  when  the  enemy 
retreated  to  high  ground.  Hia  lordship 
then  ordered  one  squadron  to  the  attack, 
which  spproiiched  within  two  hundred 
yards  of  the  enemy,  and  then  slackened 
their  pace.  Thinking  that  they  hesitated^ 
Lord  Paget  rode  through  them,  and  oom- 
menced  the  charge  ;  the  French  remain- 
ing firm,  and  firing  their  carbines,  with 
some  effect.  The  charge  was  made  with 
the  greatest  order,  and  the  result  was  a 
hundred  prisoners,  with  fifty  of  their 
horses,  and  neorly  as  many  left  dead  on 
the  fteld.

Advanced  guard  of  tbeFrencb,  tbe  B&re  ar- 

rival  of  tbe   Engtisb  at  Corutma  may  m  a 

great  measure  be  ascribed. 

Tlie  battle  of  Corunim  took  plae*  in  a 
few  days,  and  %fcv^  Lord  Paget  another 
opportunity  of  diitingukbing  himaelf. 
While  some  soldiera  were  cotiTeying  their 
vrounded  and  dying  commander  from  the 
field,  Lord  Paget  hastened  with  tbe  reserve 
to  support  the  right  wing  of  the  army. 
Perceiving  Colond  Beck  with,  at  tbe  head 
of  tbe  riflJe  corp«,  retiring  before  a  supe- 
rior force,  hii  lordship  attacked  ihia  force 
with  surprising  courage,  repulied  it,  and 
then  pressing  on  di^iperaed  every  thing 
before  him,  till  the  enemy,  perceiving  their 
left  wing  in  danger,  drew  it  entirely  back. 
This  bold  movement  decided  the  fate  of 
the  day ;  it  deterred  the  French  from 
further  advance »  an  til  the  body  of  the 
commander  was  safely  interred,  and  the 
entire  army  embarked  in  the  vessels  wait* 
iag  in  the  harbuur. 

Lord  Paget  received  a  medal  for  his 
conduct  in  the  action  at  Sahagua ;  and  a 
tnagniJicent  gronpe  in  silver  was  prei>enled 
to  him,  bearing  the  following  inscription  : 
**  This  piece  of  plate  is  presenterl  to  Licut.- 
Generol  Lord  Paget,  by  the  Prince  Regitnt,

Hits  Mir  brigade,  who  hove  Berved  under  his

miration of  his  high  military  acquiremeDte, 
■nd  of  the  courage  and  talents  conatantly 
\  displayed  by  him  in  leading  the  Hussars 
to  Ttctory  against  the  French  cavalry, 
daring  the  campaign  in  tbo  Peaiuiala  in 
1808/' 

In  the  autumn  of  1809  Lord  Paget  re. 
turned  to  England^  where  he  remained 
for  some  time,  taking  no  part  iu  tbe  stib- 
iequent  Peninsiular  campaigns.  During 
this  time  hi  a  lordship  was,  in  IS  10,  di- 
vorced from  Lcidy  Paget,  and  then  married 
Lady  Cowley,  the  daughter  of  tbe  Earl  of 
Cadogan,  and  mother  of  the  present  Lord 
Cowley,  who  had  been  divorced  from  Lord 
Cowley  in  tbe  same  year. 

From  1806  to  1312  Lord  Paget  sat  in 

'  the  House  of  Commons  as  representative 

for  Miibourn  Port ;  when  the  death  of  his 

father^  in  the  latter  year,  removed  him  to 

•  the  House  of  Peers  as  Earl  of  Uibridge. 

In  the  spring  of  iB15  be  commanded  the 

i  troopa  assembled  In   Loudon  to  quell  the 

^  Corn  Bill  riots  ;  and  immediately  after, 

when  all  Europe  was   thunderstruck  by 

Napoleon's  audden  biirst  into  France  from 

10 


his  island  cage,  the  allka  recalled  their 
scattered  armieii,  and  ogoiii  took  tbe  fteld* 
This  campaign  was  to  be  fought  by  mi- 
nutes. Both  sides  knew  well  that  all 
depended  on  time.  By  a  happy  appoint* 
meut,  the  cammand  of  the  Urge  caralry 
forces  attached  to  the  Anglo- Belgum  army 
was  given  to  the  Ear!  of  Ujt bridge. 

Next  to  the  great  leader  of  the  host,  the 
victory  of  Waterloo  was  more  indebted  to 
the  Earl  of  Uxbridge  tboa  any  other  of 
tlie  nnmeroiia  warriors  of  that  memorabk 
day.  An  eye^witoeaa  of  his  lordahip^a 
conduct  remarks,  that  **•  he  displayed  coo- 
sniiimate  valour  in  the  sight  of  his  ad- 
miring men."  As  it  was  the  great  objecst 
of  the  moment  to  kindle  the  spirit  of  oar 
troop?,  what  could  more  effectually  do 
this  than  the  display,  the  gallantry,  and 
the  dash  of  their  superior  ?  Tkia  was  the 
more  important  from  the  fact  that,  not 
having  as  yet  made  an  es^ay  ou  tbe  Cuiras- 
siers, they  entertained  an  idea  that  all 
attack  upon  them  was  incfTectQal.  Twice 
bad  the  gallant  Earl  led  the  Guards  to  the 
charge,  cheering  them  with  the  rallying 
cry  of  *^  Now  for  the  honour  of  tbe  honae- 
hold  troops  I"  when  three  heavy  maiaea 
of  the  enemy's  infantry  advanced,  atip- 
ported  by  artillery,  and  a  numeroua  body 
of  Cuirassiers.  This  formidable  force 
drove  in  the  Belgians,  leaving  the  High- 
land  brigade  to  receive  the  shock.  At  this 
critical  moment  Lord  Uxbridge  gallopfid 
np  to  the  second  heavy  brigade,  under  the 
command  of  t^ir  William  Ponsonby,  whev 
the  three  regiments  were  wheeled  up  in 
the  most  masterly  style,  preseuttng  a  boao- 
tlful  front  of  about  thtrleen  hundred  men. 
As  the  Earl  rode  down  the  line,  he  was 
received  by  a  general  ^hout  and  cheer  from 
tbe  brigade.  Then,  placing  fatmaelf  at 
their  head,  they  made  the  most  rapid  and 
destructive  charge  ever  witnessed.  The 
division  they  attacked  consisted  of  upwards 
of  nine  thousand  men  underCouotD^Srlon. 
Of  these,  three  thousand  were  made  pH* 
suncrs,  and  the  rest  killed  ;  with  the  ex* 
cepliou  of  a  few  hundred  men,  who  formed 
themselveii  under  cover  of  the  Cuiraastersi. 
After  this  his  lordship  bravely  led  tbe  same 
troops  in  sevcrsd  other  brilliant  attacks, 
cutting  in  pieces  whole  battaliona  of  the 
old  French  Guard,  into  whose  masaea 
they  penetrated. 

After  performing  prodigies  of  valour* 
and  apparently  getting  through  the  arduona 
struggles  of  the  day,  tbe  Earl  received  a 
wound  in  the  knee,  by  almost  the  ta»t  shot 
that  was  jired.  At  first  the  wound  was 
not  considered  material  \  but  upon  snr* 
gical  examination  it  was  found  necessary 
to  amputate  tbe  leg.  For  this  purpose 
his  lordship  was  conveyed  to  Watsrloo, 
and  taken  to  the  house  of  a  reapeotftbls

cuit of  many  miles.  On  reaching  tbe  hall 
Ihe  sword  was  presented  by  the  Mayor, 
and  an  address  delivered  by  the  Recorder. 
To  the  latter  tbe  nobk  Marquess  repbed 
in  a  speech  of  singular  modesty  and  good 
sense.  Two  allusions*  one  to  the  Duke 
of  Wellington,  and  the  other  to  bimselft 
were  delivf  red  with  great  animatron^  and 
produced  a  powerfol  effect.  He  nobly 
diaclaimed  the  boo  our  of  the  victory,  and 
attributed  tbe  whole  to  the  surpaissing 
wisdom  and  valour  of  the  commander-in- 
chief.  Then  pointing  to  the  seat  of  his

For  his  services  at  Waterloo  the  Mar- 
quess of  Anglesea  was  nomionted  a  Knight 
Grand  Cross  of  the  order  of  the  Bath,  in 
1B15  ;  alto  by  the  Emperor  of  Austria  a 
Commander  of  the  order  of  Maria  Theresa, 
and  by  the  Emperor  of  Russia  a  Knight  of 
the  order  of  St.  George,  of  the  second 
class.  J  n  1 8 1 G  h  e  was  nomiQated  a  Knig  ht 
Grand  Cross  of  the  HanoverSao  Guclphic 
order,  and  in  1818  elected  a  Knight  of  tbe 
Garter. 

Ho  attained  the  full  rank  of  General  on 
the  12th  August,  1810.  He  was  unpo- 
pular during  the  period  of  Queen  Caroline's 
trial,  in  IB20,  on  account  of  the  support 
which  he  gave  to  the  bill  of  pains  and 
penalties  ;  and  on  one  occasion  he  was 
surrounded  by  the  populace,  who  insisted 
on  his  shouting  **  The  Queen  forever!*' 
After  nvucb  reluctance,  he  at  length  cried 
out — '*The  Queen  1  the  Queen  !  and  may 
all  your  wives  be  like  herl" 

At  the  coronation  of  George  the  Fourth, 
in  18S1,  the  Marquess  of  Anglesey  sus- 
tained tbe  office  of  Lord  High  Steward  of 
England ;  and  the  grace  and  dtgiiity  with 
which  he  accompanied  the  Cbaropion  during 
the  ceremony  of  the  Challenge  in  West- 
minster Hall  were  the  subject  of  uui versa! 
ad  mi  ration. 

In  1826  he  received  the  appointment  of 
Captain  of  Cowes  Castle  (which  will  not 
again  be  tilled  up). 

On  the  30th  April,  1B27,  when  Iho 
Duke  of  WeDington  ceased  to  he  Master- 
general  of  the  Ordnance,  the  Mar«|uess  of 
Anglesey  succeeded  him,  and  on  that  oc- 
casion he  was  sworn  a  member  of  tlio 
Privy  Council,  and  took  a  seat  in  the 
Cabinet.  His  tenure  of  office  at  this 
perbd  extended  to  the  spring  of  the  fol- 
iawing  year  ;  when,  on  the  Ist  March,  he 
was  sworn  Lord  Lieuteoant- Governor  and 
Governor-general  of  Ireland.  In  this  im- 
portant station,  as  representative  of  bia 
Sovereign,  bis  lordship  engaged  the  warm 
affections  of  the  Irish  people.  He  secured 
tlieir  obedience  to  the  laws.  He  subdued 
religious  animosities.  He  conciliated  ge- 
neral goodwill.  He  sought  to  ameliorate 
and  improve  the  condition  of  the  labour- 
ing classes ;  commerce  received  an  active 
spring  through  his  patronage  and  munifi- 
cence, and  every  means  were  put  in  pro- 
gress towards  national  prosperity,  when 
he  waa  recalled  by  the  king**  minister  in 
the  twelfth  month  of  bis  Ticc-regal  func- 
tions. He  was  succeeded  by  the  Duke  of 
mberland;  but  became  Viceroy

ftrtunl  rukr  Jisobeying,  iiadergoing  trial, 
plcndiiig  guilty,  mid  m  getting  off  liarm- 
less  ajs  to  induce  the  report  and  impression, 
never  afterwards  entirely  got  rid  of,  that 
there  wa;»  coinpromii;e  and  even  coUuBiou 
between  the  agitator  aod  the  Whig  Go- 
Tern  ment.  In  Moore's  Memoirs  it  ap- 
pears that  the  poet  thought  tbe  Viceroy 
extremely  nerroug  nh-out  the  state  of  Ire- 
land, But  in  public  there  was  never  any 
appearance  of  discomposure^  Those  who 
saw  him  mobbed  in  Dublin  streets,  aa 
somelinieii  happened,  can  well  remember 
the  smiling  good  humouri  the  look  of 
amusement,  with  which  the  lame  soldier. 
alone  and  armed  only  with  his  umbrella, 
Bted  his  weapon  to  rap  the  knucltles  of 
the  noisT  Poddies  who  laid  hands  on  the 
bridle  of  his  pony.  He  was  very  popular 
in  the  midst  of  his  proclamatioas  and 
coercions.  Hb  bearing  suited  the  temper 
of  the  Irish  j  and  there  really  was  a  good 
deal  of  love  between  them.  The  coercion 
acta  thut  he  called  for  were,  however, 
fatal  to  Lord  Grey*s  government.  The 
one  he  obtained  in  1833  was  severe.  Lord 
Grey  thought  it  ought  to  be  renewed^  with 
the  omiasion  of  the  provision  for  martial 
law.  Others  thought  not ;  and  Lord  Grey 
went  out  upon  it.  There  was  misynder- 
standing  in  the  cabinet,  cauiimg  a  renewal 
of  the  complaint  of  underhand  dealings 
with  O'Connell,  while  O'Connell  declared 
bimtelf  tricked  ;  and  Lord  Grey's  retire* 
ment  was  the  conset|Ucnce.  Thus  it  ap- 
peara  to  have  been  Lord  Angle*ey^  re- 
markable lot  to  have  precipitated  Catholic 
emancipation  by  his  first  abort  tenure  of 
the  Ticeroyalty,  and  the  breaking  up  of 
the  Grey  cabioct  by  the  second.  Some 
interesting  letters  and  other  papers  re* 
garding  his  Irish  administration,  which  he 
at  this  time  communicated  to  the  lute  Lord 
Cloncurry,  are  printed  in  the  Recollec- 
tions of  that  nobleman.  (See  our  January 
number,  p.  86.) 

Lord  Anglesey  again  became  Master* 
General  of  the  Ordnance  on  the  formatioQ 
of  Lord  John  Russell's  administration  in 
1846;  and  he  held  that  office  till  Lord 
Derby  csrae  into  power,  in  March,  1852. 

After  commanding  the  7th  Light  Dra- 
goons for  more  than  forty  years »  he  was 
removed  to  tlie  command  of  the  Royal 
Horse  Guards  in  1342.  In  1846  he  was 
advanced  to  the  rank  of  Field  Marshal, 
and  at  his  death  he  was  the  only  Field 
Marshal  in  the  British  army,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  her  Majesty's  consort  and  uncle. 
In  184.9  he  was  appointed  Lord  Lfea- 
te&ant  and  Cnstoi*  Rotulorum  of  the  county 
of  Stafford,  having  been  previously  for 
many  years  Lord  Lieuteoaot  of  tbe  county 
of  Anglesey,  In  which  are  situated  the 


QJtiii% 


estates  of  his  ancestors  in  tbe  male*lioe 
the  Baylcys,  who  became  Pageta  in  the 
person  of  his  father  is  the  year  1770. 

**  All  have  thought  and  felt  alike  about 
the  merits  of  Lord  Anglesey.  In  every 
jouroal,  in  every  society,  the  same  senti- 
ment has  prevailed.  It  was  the  peculiarity 
indeed  of  his  frank  and  noble  natnre  to 
make  itself  understood,  and  to  impress  alt 
who  had  intercourse  with  him,  howercr 
slight,  with  a  lively  sense  of  hia  qnalitiei^ 
It  might  almost  be  said  that  hia  character 
could  be  read  off  at  fight,  the  exprtu 
image  of  chivalry  as  he  was.  H\f  bearing 
bespoke  the  man,  so  gallant,  so  high,  so 
courteous.  Seldom  have  bravery,  geatlo* 
ness,  and  generosity  been  combined  la 
such  noble  proportions.  In  bis  ch&racter 
there  was  not  a  fold,  it  was  all  open  as 
(lay.  HU  politics  were  thoroughly  Liberal, 
and  with  more  far-sighted  and  sound  states- 
manship in  them  than  the  world  has  per* 
hsps  given  him  credit  for.  ITiere  is  not 
within  the  last  forty  years  a  single  Im- 
portant measure  of  reform  in  Church  ixid 
State  of  which  Lord  Anglesey  was  not  a 
strenuous,  a  steady,  and  an  early  adtocmte; 
He  generally,  indeed,  was  in  advance  of 
public  opinion,  and  strongly  urged  mea« 
fures  which  were  opposed  at  the  time  aa 
Radical,  but  which  are  now  extolled  for 
thdr  wisdom,  «nd  the  settled  law  of  the 
tftntl.  Catholic  Emancipation,  Reform  tn 
Parliament,  Free  Trade,  Reform  of  the 
Irish  Church,  hjid  in  him  an  • 
stanch  champion.  He  was  a  re^ 
the  Corn  Laws  and  a  thorough  Free  Trstdc* 
years  before  those  objects  became  popular, 
and  he  disapproved  of  the  compromise  of 
the  low  fixed  duty  proposed  in  1840,  as 
short  of  what  justice  and  policy  required. 
Upon  Sir  R5hurt  Peel  bringing  forward 
his  plan  of  Free  Trade,  it  was  remarked 
Co  Lord  Angieiiey  that  he  must  not  sbitt 
his  eyes  to  the  injury  it  would  do  to  the 
landed  interest.  His  answer  was,  '  Nerer 
mind — it  is  right  and  juatf  and  the  landed 
interest  must  not  stand  in  the  way  of  right.* 
The  Board  of  Education  Id  Ireland,  one 
of  the  greatest  benefits  ever  coaferred  on 
that  country,  was  Lord  Anglesey's  work^ 
The  credit  has  been  given  to  Lord  Derbjp 
but  it  is  so  far  from  being  descrred  that 
he  was  actually  hostile  to  the  scheme, 
which  originated  with  Lord  Anglesey^  and 
was  by  his  energies  and  exertions  con- 
ducted to  success.  Lord  Angleiey's  poli- 
tical services  were  not  appreciated,  because 
he  was  not  a  speaker,  and  could  not  talk 
well  of  what  he  did  well,  or  at  least  could 
not  do  justice  in  words  to  his  own  acta. 
But  he  had  a  sound,  shrewd  understand- 
ing, a  judgment  seldom  at  fisult,  oltea 
acting  like  an  instinct,  and  accompaiuod 
vrith  a  moral  courage  not  inferior  to  bit

what  he  was  not  fit,  and  office  bad  no  at- 
traction  far  bim  ciccpt  where  lay  hit  iphern 
of  utility^  beyond  which  he  never  sought, 
nor  would  accept  employment, 

**  Lord  Anglesey's  administration  of  the 
Ordnance  Department  woa  remarkable  for 
its  Bcrupalona  justice,  and  attention  to 
all  soldierly  interests  and  claims;  other 
influences  than  tho»e  of  doty  had  not  the 
ilightest  weight  with  him.  We  hare  bemrd 
complaints  of  his  refuging  favours  to  old 
friends,^  but  he  practised  what  he  subjected 
others  to,  and  acted  the  noble  part  of  re- 
fusing  a  favour  to  himself  when  there  waa 
another  whom  he  Ihooght  more  descrring 
of  it.  On  the  death  of  the  Duke  of  Gor- 
don, the  command  of  the  Scots  Fusilier 
Guards  was  offered  in  the  most  gratifying 
way  by  King  William  to  Lord  Anglesey. 
He  receiTed  the  letter  commuoicatiDg  his 
Majesty's  pleasure  at  night,  and  at  eight 
the  following  morning  he  was  in  St.  James's 
Palace  requesting  an  interview,  which  he 
readily  obtained.  Be  eipressed  his  gra- 
titude for  the  King's  kind  inteution^  and 
the  admiration  in  which  he  held  the  corpsi 
the  command  of  which  was  offered  to  bim; 
but  he  added,  *  I  am  sure  tJiat  in  naming 
me  to  this  honour  your  Majesty  has  not 
borne  in  mind  the  fact  that  Lord  Ludlow 
lost  an  arm  in  Holland  at  the  bead  of  this 
Tcry  regiment.'  The  King  acknowledged 
that  the  fact  had  escaped  his  memory,  and 
thanked  Lord  Anglesey  for  reminding  him. 
Lord  Ludlow  had  the  rcgimcntt  and  Lord 
Anglesey  had  tlie  satisfaction  of  seeing  a 
brate  old  soldier  rewarded »  and  made 
happy  for  the  rest  of  his  life. 

*'  While  at  the  Ordnance  Office  be  ren- 
dered the  service  of  putting  the  coast 
defences  in  a  pr'^*'^'-  -<^^*'>  of  preparation.' 
On  one  of  his  \  ,  ictton  to  Ports- 

mouth he  was  a  li  by  the  Duke 

of  WBtlitigton»  uiid  fuudt  interesting  was 
the  spectacle  of  itie  two  veteranSi  old  com- 
panions in  urms,  totteriug  along  together, 
arm-in-arm,  each  fancying  he  was  the  prop 
of  the  other,  and  supporting  the  unatcJidy 
step.*  The  older  was,  however,  by  far 
the  younger,  notwithstanding  the  loss  of 
bis  leg.  What  Lord  Anglesey  was  to  the 
last  in  appearauce  will  dwell  in  the  recol- 
lection of  tbonsands.  He  seemed  to  have 
left  age  behind  him,  and,  for  a  quarter  of 
a  century  after  be  had  tamed  three-score, 

*  The  same  spectacle  was  witnessed 
during  the  ojiening  of  the  Great  Eibibttioo 
of  1891 1  and  the  Duke  And  Marquess 
wew  ^-*— ♦■!»#  <«rH»in«aioiis  in  tb«  House 


there  was  the  same  upright  buoyant  car- 
riage and  youthfuily  cheerful  mit-n.  Yet 
his  sufferingi  from  a  nervous  disease  were 
of  the  most  cruel  nature,  but  they  never 
affected  citlier  bis  system  or  bis  spirits* 
His  activity  with  his  single  leg  was  some- 
thing marvellous,  and,  apropos  of  that,  we 
must  mention  a  fact  illustrative  of  his 
character. 

"  After  the  battle  of  Waterloo  a  pension 
of  1,200/.  a^year  was  voted  to  him  for  the 
loss  of  bis  leg»  but  he  woultl  not  accept 
the  grant.  He  did  not  like  the  idea  of 
turning  blood  to  gold.  It  is  easy  to  cal« 
culatc  the  large  ium  which  this  self-denial 
saved  to  the  nation, 

"  AH  through  life,  and  to  his  last  breath, 
duty  was  with  him,  as  with  bis  great  com- 
rade in  arms  the  Dnke,  the  ruling  senti- 
ment; indeed,  in  Lord  Anglesey's  dying 
hours,  when  his  mind  wandered  occasion- 
ally for  a  few  instants,  the  inquiry  was, 
what  brigade  was  on  duty,  and  upon  the 
answer  that  it  was  not  bis  own«  he  seemed 
relieved  that  he  was  not  neglecting  bis 
turn  of  duty. 

"  His  death  was  serene,  more  than  re- 
signed, cheerful.  He  was  surrounded  by 
numerous  loving  relatives,  and  cheered 
them  with  pleasant  words  almost  with  his 
dying  breath ;  and  so  parted  this  brave  and 
honest  splnt." — Examiner^

From  May  1835  to  Sept.  1841,  bis

ISeneral ;  and  during  his  udministration  of 
the  Post-office  the  system  of  a  uniform 
penny  postage  was  bruuglit  into  operation. 

He  lieM  the  office  of  Poitmaater-general 
without  a  seat  m  the  Cabinet.  One  of  the 
most  remarkftble  incident  in  hia  political 
life  was  the  astseniblage  st  his  house  in  St, 
JamesVsqunre,  during  the  administration 
of  Lord  Md bourne,  of  a  great  party

were  subBi^uctitly  very  frequently  referred 
to  as  **The  Lichfield  House  Compact*" 

In  1842  the  Eurl  of  Lichfield  fell  iuto 
serious  pecuniary  difHcultiei.  His  mtkg-

and  pieces  of  statuary  there  dispensed  will 
be  found  in  our  voh  xviii.  p.  40j,  His 
Lordship  had  previounly  been  a  warm  Bup* 
porter  of  the  turf.  In  lH3t>  his  horae  Elia

Lord  Coi.naii-VR. 

Afsy  3.  In  Hill  Street,  Berkeley  S£|uare, 
aged  75,  the  Right  Honorable  Nicholas 
William  Ridley  Colbome,  Lord  Colbome. 

This  lamented  nobleman  was  the  second 
son  of  Sir  Matthew^  White  Ridley,  of  Blag- 
don,  in  the  county  of  Korthumberland, 
IJart,  by  Sarah,  daughter  and  sole  heir  of 
Benjamin  Colbome,  esq.  in  accordance 
with  whose  will,  proved  iii  1?93,  Lord 
Colbome,  then  Mr.  Rtdky,  assumed,  June 
21,  le03,  in  addition  to  that  of  Ridley,  th^ 
tuune  and  arms  of  Colborne.  He  was  born 
April  H,  177 5)1,  in  the  parish  of  St.  Mary- 
lebone,  and  was  cJueatcd  at  Westminster, 
and  at  Oxford,  tit  which  UDiveriity  he  was 
a  m umber  of  Clirigt  Church  college,  and 
where  he  graduati^d  B.A.  June  15,  1800. 
On  Dec.  lU,  1793,  he  was  enteiedof  Gray^t 
Inn,  but  withdrew  from  that  Society  April 
26,  IdOl),  without  being  called  to  the  Bur. 
He  fir&t  took  his  seat  in  parliament  in  1804 
fur  the  borough  of  Appleby,  and  from  that 
time,  with  a  ihort  interval,  until  the  year 
1837*  was  a  Member  of  tbe  House  of  Com- 
mons, rcpre«enting  in  different  parlia- 
ments, Mttlmcsbury,  Blechingley,  Thct- 
ford,  Horsham,  and  Wells-  During  the 
whole  period  of  his  political  career  he  wu 
closely  united  to  the  Whig  party,  and  gave 
a  zealous  and  uDdcvimtiDg  support  to  all 
the  chief  liberal  measures  that  were  brought 
forward.  In  1839,  during  the  adminis* 
tration  of  Lord  Melbourne,  he  was  raised 
to  the  peerage  by  the  title  of  Baron  Col- 
borne,  of  West  Harling,  in  the  county  of 
Norfolk,  and,  it  may  be  almost  superfluoua 
to  add,  continued  his  adhesion  to  the 
liberal  party  until  the  day  of  his  decease* 
But,  as  regards  Lord  Colborne's  public 
position,  he  wui  belter  known  to  the  world 
AS  a  warm  and  active  promoter  and  en- 
courager  of  art,  and  more  particularly  that 
of  painting;  and  he  has  nobly  carried  oot 
this  object  by  bequeathing  to  the  nation, 
for  its  gallery,  of  which  he  was  a  trustee, 
eight  of  his  tcry  valuable  pictures. 

Lord  Colbome  was  a  director  of  the 
British  Institution,  and  one  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Fine  Arts  Commission,  still 
sitting  under  the  able  preaideocy  of  Prince 
Albert.  He  was,  likemuny  others, a  con- 
tributor to  numerous  charitable  inttitu*

Lord  Cockburn  wrote  the  Life  of  his 
friend  Lord  Jeffrey,  which  (with  a  se- 
lection of  Lord  Jeffrey's  correipondeoco) 
was  publbUed  in  two  fotumea  8vo.  1852. 
We  are  not  aware  that  he  published  any 
other  important  work.  His  love  of  art 
and  of  the  metropolis  of  Scotland  drew 
from  him  about  five  years  ago  a  charac- 
teristic  pamphlet  on  **  The  Best  Way  of 
Spoiling  the  Beauty  of  Edinburgh/*  He 
was  aUo  the  writer  of  some  articles  in  the 
Edinburgh  Review. 

Lord  Cockbuni  opened  the  Circalt 
Court  at  Ayr  on  the  1  %{h  of  April.  Being 
rather  indisposed,  he  was  relieved  by  Lord 
Ivory  of  the  arduous  duty  of  presiding  nt 
a  trial  for  murder,  which  occupied  nearly 
two  days  ;  but  after  the  conviction  the 
sentence  of  death  was  pronounced  by  Lord 
Cockbum,  It  was  the  last  judicial  act 
which  he  perforuiedi  and  none  who  heard 
him  will  ever  forget  it.  Brief,  gentle, 
simple,  solemn,  it  was  an  exquisite  specie 
men  of  the  pathetic  eloquence  in  whieh  he 
was  unrivalled.  Many  cye»  lilled  with 
tears  as  the  touching  tones  of  that  match- 
Iflis  voice  fell  on  the  listening  cars  of  a 
^ded  audience — when  ho  urged*  not 
Jy  but  kindly,  the  unhappy  man 
L  he  addres43ed  to  u&e  aright  the  few 
fleeting  days  between  him  and  eternity, 
and  make  his  peace  witli  God  through 
Jesus  Christ  Ere  one  &hort  week  had 
passed,  the  judge,  who  pronounced  the 
sentence  and  urged  the  use  of  time's  swift- 
winged  hours,  had  anticipated  the  man 
whom  he  condemned,  and  was  summoned 
from  the  judgment'Stat  un  earth  to  appeal- 
before  the  tribunal  of  Heaven. 

The  biography  of  Jeffrey  is  closed  by 


words  which  may  not  inaptly  be  applied  to 
him  who  wrote  them  : — *'  A*  soon  as  it 
was  known  that  he  was  gone,  the  eminence 
of  his  tatcnts,  the  great  objects  to  which 
they  hid  bpcn  devoted,  his  elevation  by 
gradual  triumph  over  many  prejudices  to 
the  highee^t  stations,  even  the  abundsnce 
of  his  virtues,  were  all  forgotten  in  the 
personal  love  of  the  man/^ 

Lord  Cockbum  has  left  a  large  family, 
and  is  survived  by  Mrs.  Cockbum,  sister 
of  Mrs.  Maitland,  now  the  widow  of  Lord 
Dundrennan,  and  of  Mrs.  Fullerton,  now

hm  father  in  17B3« 

In  I8ia  he  served  the  office  of  High 
Sheriff  of  Dorsetshire. 

He  married  m  17}^6  Mary,  fifth 
daughter  of  Thomas  Patten,  esq,  of  Bank, 
near  Warrington,  by  whom  he  had  isane 
three  sons  and  six  daughters.  The  former 
were,  1.  Robert,  who  married  in  l>i37 
Ai^es,  second  daughter  of  the  Late  Rev.

John  Davirs  Gilbert,  Esa. 
AifHl  16,  At  Pridcaux  Place,  Cornwall, 
when  on  a  yisit  to  his  brother*in-law 
Charles  Prideaux-Brune,  esq.  in  hia  43rd 
year,  John  Daries  Gilbert,  esq*  of  Tre- 
lissick,  cOi  Cornwall,  and  of  Eastbonrne, 
Sussex. 

This  gentleman   was   the  only  son   of 
Davies   Gilbert,   esq,    (formerly   Giddy), 
sometime  President  of  the  Royal  Society, 
by  Mary- Anne,  only  daughter  and  heiress 
of  Thomas    Gilbert,  esq.  of  Eastbourne. 
Be  was  bom  in  tlie  house  of  his  grand- 
mother at  St,  Erth  in  Cornwall.     **  Though 
a  Comlshman  by  birth,  his  early  years 
were  principally  spent  at  Eastbourne,  but 
lie  always  retained  a  passionate  attachment 
to  the    home  of    his    ancestors,   and   a 
thorough  dcTotion  to  Cornish  interests. 
From  his  youth  he  appears  to  have  looked 
>  forward  to  a   permanent    abode  in   this 
I  county  5  and,   on  succeeding  to  his  palri- 
I  mony,  he  purchased  the  beautiful  demesne 
GiNT*  Mag,  Vol.  XLI, 


of  Trelissick,  where  be  has  since  resided. 
He  valued  his  station  as  a  country 
gentleman  not  merely  for  its  dignity,  but 
for  its  responsibilities.  Hia  lively  interest 
in  the  success  of  agriculture,  his  ajcsidnous 
attention  to  the  duties  of  the  magistracy, 
the  liberal  cast  of  his  politics,  and  bis 
constant  readiness  for  any  active  service, 
marked  him  as  a  useful  and  rising  public 
man,  who  would  some  day  come  to  the 
highest  honour  bis  countrymen  could 
h^tow  upon  him.  Hb  talents  were  rather 
solid  than  shining — >not  lo  much  the 
display  of  brilliant  ability  as  of  lofty 
principle.  His  character  lay  upon  the 
surface— bis  fronk  open  countenance,  the 
cordiality  of  his  manner,  and  bis  sunny 
temper,  were  the  clear  indications  of 
what  he  really  was,  one  of  nature^ a  own 
nobility,,  a  thoroughly  sincere,  warm- 
hearted, and  right-minded  man.  Alt 
Cornwall  mo  urns  over  hia  tomb.  Not 
twelve  months  ago  we  heard  him  say. 
Here  I  have  come  to  live,  and  here  I  hope 
to  die.''—  Wefl  Briton. 

Mr.  Gilbert  inherited  considerable 
estates  in  Sussex  from  the  will  of  his  uncle 
Charles  Gilbert  esq. 

He  married,  Oct.  7,  1851,  the  Hon. 
Anna- Dorothea,  elder  daughter  of  Ro* 
bcrt  Lord  Carew,  K.P.  Lord  Lieutenant 
of  the  CO.  Wei  ford;  and  has  left  issue

appointed  to  command  the  liberating  army 
at  Oporto,  offered  tiim  an  appointment  on

from  an  affection  of  the  knee -joint,  which 
incapacitated  him  from  again  offering  him- 
self for  military  scrFice,  he  regained  such 
a  measure  of  health  as  enabled  him  to 
accept  of  the  civil  ajipointment  of  Post-

the  Duke  of  Newcastle.  In  addition  to 
three  foreign  orders  of  military  merit,

Rt,\\  ^Kuvn  Wahdla^w,  D.D. 

iJtc.  17,  At  Glasgow,  within  a  few  daja 
of  completing  his  74th  year,  the  Rev, 
Ralph  Wardlaw,  D.D.  Pastor  of  the  Con- 
gregntionol  Church  in  West  George  Street, 
and  one  of  the  Professors  of  the  Congre- 
gational College  for  the  Education  of 
Ministers. 

Dr.  Wardlaw  was  bom  at  Dalkeith, 
near  Edinburgh  <  During  his  infancy  hii 
father  removed  to  Glasgow,  where  he 
became  one  of  t!ie  moat  honourable  of  its 
merchants  and  magistratef.  His  mother 
was  Anne,  daughter  of  the  Rev.  James 
Fif  her,  granddaughter  of  the  Rev.  Ebene- 
xer  Erskinct  and  great-granddaughter  of 
Henry  Erskine,  who  was  one  of  those  who 
suffered  imprisonment  for  non- conformity 
to  tlie  Episcopal  Church,  He  was  sent  to 
the  High  School  of  Glasgow  before  he  was 
eight  years  of  age,  and  to  the  University 
before  he  was  quite  twelve*  At  a  very 
early  age  he  determined  to  devote  himself 
to  the  ministry  of  the  gospel,  and  his  theo- 
logical instmctor  was  the  venerable  Dr. 
Lawson  of  Selkirk,  who  was  tlie  Professor 
in  the  Tbeological  Seminary  of  the  United 
Secession  Church*  After  he  was  ready  to 
receive  licence  as  a  preacher,  he  found 
that  he  could  not  conscientiously  subscribe 
to  some  of  the  articles  in  the  Symbol  of 
that  church,  and,  after  examining  a  move- 
ment carried  on  by  theRev*GreviHe  Ewing 
and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Innes,  in  favour  of  Con- 
gregationalism, he  joined  that  party,  and 
became  a  mimher  of  Mr.  Ewing's  church*

Obituary. — Rev.  Ralph  Wardiaw^  DJD* 


^  On  the  IGth  Feb*  1803,  he  was  ord«ined 
Pliitor  OTor  a  congregation  osgcnihled  in 
North  Albion  Street,  then  consisting  of 
only  tixty-one  merabers.  U  subsequently 
incraica  very  considerably,  nml  in  1819 
be  erected  a  new  chapel  in  Wt-st  George 
Street,  which  hns  sinee  been  occupied  by 
one  of  tbe  largest  and  most  tibernL  cDngrc- 
galiona  m  tbe  city.  Through  the  fame  of 
Grcvilte  Ewiu^  and  Dr,  Ward  I  aw  mauy 
Congregatir>ni  of  tbe  same  faith  and  order 
nwere  farmed  in  differerbt  parts  of  Scotland, 
and  Dr.  Wardlaw  lived  to  see  nenrly  two 
ihanidrcd  churches  in  the  country  of  the 
Mine  ordcrv  though  some  of  them  differed 
on  doctrinal  pointji. 

In  1811  Dr.  Wardlaw  was  ofisocinted 
wUh  GreriUe  Ewmg  in  the  tutorship  of 
Glasgow  Theobgical  Acadetny,  and  he 
contioned  to  give  hii  acrvicea  to  that  in- 
ttttution  up  to  the  time  of  bis  deatli.  For 
more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  he  taught 
without  fee  or  reward,  and  indeed  never 
received  more  than  a  nominal  *mm  for  his 
Tttlnable  gervicPB.  On  the  HJlb  Jaii,  1850, 
he  received,  in  the  presence  of  a  very 
crowded  tneeling  in  the  City  Ifnll,  a  [ire- 
aentmtion  of  ?iliTr  plate  to  the  value  of 
about  150/.  On  the  completion  of  the 
50th  year  of  his  ministry,  in  Feb.  1853, 
his  people  raited  a  larf^e  sum  to  erect  a 
mission -hotise  at  DovebJlI  atatioop  which 
15  to  bear  his  name. 

From  a  eulogy  pronounced  by  the  Rev. 
Dr.  John  Macfnrlane,  at  the  Erakrne 
church,  in  Glasgow,  on  the  Sunday  after 
Dr.  Wardlaw*s  death,  we  give,  in  a  com- 
pressed form,  the  following  summary  of 
his  cbflroeter :— - 

*'  There  was  in  bis  whole  character  a 
wonderful  combination  of  the  peculiarities 
of  the  two  apostles  Paul  and  John — great- 
ness and  goodness — power  :«nJ  gentleness 
—fervour  and  morlcsly— xeal  aod  love — - 
courage  nnd  cnution^forwardness  and 
prudence^brilliaut  action  and  holy  medi- 
tation. CalhoIicUy  was  alike  an  element 
in  the  two  diaei  pies— they  were  not  secta- 
ries. Though  decided  in  their  convictions, 
and  ready  to  speak  them  out,  and  act  them 
out,  before  the  church  and  the  world, 
they  contracted  no  unlavely  spiles  against 
Others,  and  eschewed  llic  dirty  smoky 
cabins  of  seetariftoisni  and  bigotry.  So  did 
Dr.  Warillaw.  He  was  tbe  emboJiment 
of  tbe  principle  of  the  Evangelical  Alli- 
ance. It  was  Httle  to  him  what  might  be 
the  ♦  ism  '  of  any  man,  provided  he  was  a 
lover  of  Jeaus  and  of  his  trath. 

**  In  him  the  Christian  advocite  was 
truly  a  finished  portrait.  Taking  bin  posi- 
tion, even  in  young  life,  by  the  banks  of 
Ziofli  he  wisely  selected  the  pebbles  which 
were  after wardis  slung  at  the  head  of  error. 
As  fin  expotinder   of  doctrine p  be  wu 


textual,  logical,  and  nafterlr.  As  a  eritie, 
he  was  profound,  aoute«  and  oaadid.  Ai 
a  philotophtr,  he  was  Cbrisiian  and  )«t 
scholarly  ;  simple,  yet  comprebetistTf*  Hs 
seemed  to  be  equally  at  home  in  synibf  sii 
and  analysU,  which  is  ratiier  a  rare  com- 
bination of  t-jKcelleiices.  As  a  contra 
verfiialist*  he  was  fearless  though  kindly^ 
truthfal  tboQffh  courteous,  and  uacotDprv- 
mlsiog  though  reaiooable*  la  tbe  artaa 
his  weapon  was  always  koowa  by  iht 
gleam  of  its  {Hilisb,  always  felt  \if 
keenness  of  tti  edge^  and  often  pron 
victorious  by  Ihe  perfect  9\ 
fence.  His  arena  itself  Wiu»  alwaya  «| 
one,  always  a  scriptural  one.  It  \ 
not  what  he  advocated — it  was  advocated  I 
bible  ground,  and  with  a  truly  hihlej 

**  As  a  Cbris^tian  author,  he  9t4 
most  among  the  first,  not  only  as  I 
his  voluminous   writiDgs,  but 
their  calibre,  their  fame,  and  their 
DCBS.  Tliere  are  few  indeed  of  tbe  Ck 
doctrines  which    he   has  not    beai 
elocidiited,  and  few  of  the   Christi 
cepts  which  he  has  not  clearly  and  U^ 
explained.     His  works  remain  atnoi^ 
most  valuable  tressuries  of  tbe  Churcli  \ 
God.     One  of  his  earliest  eflforta  is  one 
his  best— his  work  on  the  Socioiaa  < 
tfoversy  ;  and  his  hut  work  is  not  \

fal,    afFectionate,   and  earnest,      tJis

—the  pfttroQofcverjf  charity — an  associate 
of  every  inititutefor  the  present  and  lasting 
good  of  hts  felloW' citizens  and  Ms  fcllow- 
mcn.  In  the  more  private  walks  of  life 
he  was  indeed  a  most  lovely  character,  and 
in  all  hit  relationships  acted  thronghout  as 
one  frbo,  having  first  of  all  loved  Jesus 
Christ,  allowed  the  OTerflowings  thereof 
to  fail  upon,  anoint,  and  bless  all  within 
the  circle  of  its  approach.* 

The  following  is  a  list  of  Dr,  Wardlaw*8 
works.  His  great  and  earliest  work  on 
the  Socioiau  Controversy,  published  ubout 
forty  years  ago*  A  Treatise  on  Infant 
finptism;  Lectures  on  Ecclesiasitics,  2 
vols. ;  a  volume  of  Sermons  j  Letters  to 
Society  of  Friends^  Lectures  on  the  Sab- 
bath ;  Msn's  Responsibility  for  his  Belief ^ 
drawn  forth  by  certain  opinions  stated  by 
Lord  Brougham,  when  being  insugumtmd 
as  Lord  Rector  of  (jlasgow  college; 
Chrlstisn  Ethics,  in  many  refip«c;ts  his 
principal  work;  a  Hymn  Book,  which  has 
passed  through  many  editions ;  Memoir 
of  the  late  Rev.  J*  Rcid,  missionary  ;  Dis- 
courses on  the  Atonement ;  a  work  on 
Congregational  Independency;  Lectures 
on  Prostitntion  in  Glasgow ;  Lancaster 
System  of  Education  j  lectures  on  the 
History  of  Joseph;  a  work  in  reply  to 
Mr.  Yates  on  Unitarianism  ;  Sermon  on 
lh«  death  of  Mrs.  GrevilJe  Ewing;  on 
Death  of  Rev,  Gr«ville  Ewing  ;  Sketch  of 
the  late  Dr.  M^AIl,  Manchester ;  Dts-^ 
course  on  the  late  Christopher  Anderson ^ 
Edinburgh,  Ac.  &c.  He  wrote  a  beautiful 
introduction  to  Bishop  Hall's  works ; 
also,  a  Sermon  on  the  doctrine  of  Particu- 
lar Providence.  His  Ust  work  was  on 
Mirsclesi  which  in  a  few  weeks  reached  a 
second  edition.  It  is  understood  that  he 
left  finished  msnuacript  for  very  many 
volumes  ;  and  his  works  will  be  more  ge* 
tierally  valuable,  and  probably  not  less 
voluminous,  than  those  of  Dr.  Cbahners. 
His  correspondence  alone  would  fill  many 
Tolames,  and  the  manuscripts  of  his  lec- 
tures and  expositions  are  immense.  Every- 
thing he  wrote  was  a  finished  production  j 
not  a  letter,  not  a  point  superfluous  or 
wanting,  or  indistinct. 

Dr.  Wardlaw  married,  shortly  after  his 
ordinatioQi  a  relative  of  bis  own.  Miss 
Jane  Smith,  who  survives  hirai,  with  a  large 
family.  One  of  his  sons  has  been  for  many 
yean  a  missionary  at  Ballary,  and  two  of 
his  daughters  alio  went  to  the  mission 
field  with  their  husbands.  Another  of  his 
sons  is  a  most  honourmble  and  much  es- 
teemed man  of  bosiness  in  Gla.^gow.

Luttly,     la  his  72Dd  fear,  the  Rev. 
William  Beogo  Collyefp  DJ>.,  LL.D.  and 
F.S.A. 


Dr.  CoUycr  was  the  only  surviving  child 
of  Mr.  Thomas  Colly er,  a  builder,  at 
Dcptford,  where  he  was  horn  on  the  14th 
April,  1782.  After  having  pre tiously  en- 
tered upon  the  mdimcnts  of  learning  at 
two  neighbonring  schools,  he  was,  at  the 
age  of  eight,  placed  at  the  public  school 
belonging  to  the  Leathersellers'  Company 
at  Lewisham,  and  at  thirteen  under  the 
care  of  the  Rev,  John  Fell,  as  preparatory 
to  his  admission  to  the  Old  College  at 
Homcrton.  He  entered  that  institution 
as  a  scholar  in  17dB»  and  remained  there 
for  three  years  and  a  half,  under  the 
tuition  of  Dr.  Fisher,  the  Ditinity  Pro- 
fessor, being  a  contemporary  of  his  friend 
Dr.  Raffles. 

During  the  vacations  at  Homerton,  and 
indeed  as  early  as  at  thirteen  years  of  age, 
Mr.  Colly er  was  in  tbt;  habit  of  teaching 
at  various  Sunday  schools,  within  nine 
miles  of  his  father's  residence  at  Black - 
heath  Hill,  and  of  publicly  addressing  the 
children,  their  parents,  and  such  of  the 
neighbours  as  chose  Co  attend^  at  the  close 
of  his  instructions.  In  the  year  1800, 
when  tittle  more  than  eighteen,  he  opened 
his  ministry  at  Peckh&m,  to  a  congrega- 
tion at  first  extremely  small,  but  to  which 
he  was  duly  ordained  in  Dec,  1801,  and 
where  he  continued  for  many  years.  The 
ehapel,  uhleh  had  been  first  erected  in 
17 1 7,  was  enlarged  in  1603,  and  again  la 
1 BQ8  I  and  at  length  was  wholly  rebuilt  in 
1916.  The  new  structure^  nhich  was  pro- 
vided to  hold  1300  persons,  received  the 
name  of  Hanover  Chapei,  and  its  opening 
was  attended  by  H.  R.  H.  the  Duke  of 
Sussex. 

Mr.  Colly  er  received  the  diploma  of 
D.D.  from  the  university  of  Edinburgh, 
in  the  year  1809,  in  compliment  to  his 
volume  of  '*  Lectures  on  Scripture  Facts.** 

On  the  death  of  the  celebrated  Hugh 
Worthington  iti  IB  13,  he  received  an  in- 
vitation to  succeed  to  the  pulpit  at  Solterg' 
Hall  Chapel.  With  the  consent  of  hia 
congregation  at  Feckham,  arrangements 
were  made  that  he  should  accept  this 
without  leaving  them. 

**  As  a  preacher  Dr.  Collyer  ranks 
among  the  most  popular  of  the  present 
day*  Both  his  sermons  and  lectures  are 
distinguished  by  a  depth  of  research i  a 
fidelity  of  doctrine,  and  a  doseneas  of 
argument,  which  are  rendered  doubly  in- 
teresting  by  a  supctrior  elegance  of  style» 
and  an  unusual  amplitude  of  illustration. 
Pleasing  in  his  person,  and  graceful  in  his 
manners,  the  plaintive  and  feeling  tone  of 
Dr.  Collyer  render  his  eloquence  peculi- 
arly interesting ;  and  though  his  language 
and  his  expression  may  occasionally  re- 
quire more  extent  and  variety,  and  « 
greater  choice  of  selection,  yet  this  defect

Professor  Jameson  was  bom  at  Leith  in 
1773.  He  studied  medicine  in  bis  youth, 
bnt  abandoned  all  intentions  of  pursaing 
the  practice  of  thrit  profession  very  early, 
the  attractioQM  of  the  natural  history  sci-

In  1801,  on  the  death  of  Dr.  Walker,  a 
philosopher  and  practical  naturalist  tt 
great  merit,  Mr.  Jaiqeaon  was  appointed 
his  successor  in  the  EtHnbiirgh  chair  of 
Natural  History.  From  that  time  forward, 
ho  exercised  a  great  influence  throagh  tJM 
medium  of  his  numerous  pupils,  many  nf 
whom  became  highly  eminent.  Qiddk  to 
perceive  true  merit,  and  ever  watchfalof 
indications  of  scieotilic  ability,  he  net«r 
lost  sight  of  any  student  who  manifested  a 
love  for  natural  history  to  any  of  ita 
branches.  During  his  instructive  wslka 
and  excuntons  to  eiplorc  the  geological

a  tone  and  colouring  which  were  more 
agreeable  to  the  nmltttode  than  that  which 
ordinarilf  distinguishes  our  scientific  lite- 
rature. Professor  Jameson  was  the  author 
of  otber  works  on  minenibgy  and  geology, 
and  numerous  papers  written  by  him  will 
be  found  tn  the  Wcrncrian  Traniactiotia 
and  in  Nicholson' s  Journal. 

All  the  specimens  within  the  walls  of 
the  present  museuoi,  and  mariy  thousands 
besides,  hare  been  arranged  and  placed 
by  bb  own  bands.  The  correspondence 
carried  on  must  have  been  eoormoua  before 
such  a  coUectiou  could  have  been  brought 
together,  and  the  expense  both  of  money 
and  time  very  great.  The  vast  collections 
of  all  the  branches  of  natural  history,  not 
only  in  the  East  and  West  Museum i,  but 
stored  up  in  the  8tore*roDm8,  arc  enormous. 
We  understand  that  there  arc  nearly  40,0{H) 
specimens  of  rocks  and  mmerals,  geo* 
graphically  arranged  i  10 ^(KH)  specimens  of 
fossils ;  @00  Bpecimena  of  crania  and

collection  of  insects  vei^  l^rge,  consisting 
of  many  thousand  specimens  ;  300  speci- 
TOCQfl  of  recent  shdls.  The  coltectioti  of 
drawings,  casts »  models,  geological  and 
geographical  maps,  and  of  instmmeDts 
used  in  tbe  survey  of  countries,  is  very 
valuable.  The  access  of  visitors  to  this 
vast  collection  has  been  hitherto  restricted 
with  an  excess  of  care.  Since  it  is  deter- 
mined to  found  a  National  Museum  of 
Practical  Geology  and  Agriculture  in 
Edinburgh,  it  will  probably  beoome  more 
available  to  tfie  public. 

Professor  Jameson  w^as  unmarried.  In 
private  life  he  was  the  kindest  of  relatives, 
and  beloved  by  a  large  circle  of  friends. 
Id  peraon  be  was  slender  and  wiry,  with  a 
countenance  strongly  expressive  of  vivid

of  the  church  of  Scotland ;  and  there  be 
evidently  acquired  bis  passionate  taste  for 
the  wild  scenery  and  tlie  active  sports  of 
the  mountains.  At  the  age  of  thirteen  he 
removed  to  the  university  of  Glasgow,  and 
five  years  later  he  was  entered  of  Mag- 
dalene college,  OxfoH.  When  at  Oxford 
his  character  retained  and  deepened  all  its 
peculiar  traits.  He  took  several  college 
honours  ;  and  was  the  first  boxer,  leaper, 
and  runner  among  the  students.  In  1B06 
be  gained  the  Ncwdigate  prize  in  English 
verse,  the  subject  being  in  **  Recom- 
meodation  of  the  Study  of  Grecian  and

self to  tbe  Lake  country,  where  his  father 
had  purchased  tbe  estate  of  Ellcray, 
sitoated  on  the  shores  of  Windermere.

time  vacillating  between  various  aohemcs 
of  life,  all  more  or  less  singular.  He  was 
now  projecting  a  journey  to  the  interior  of 
Africa,  and  now  determining  to  be  for  life 
a  writer  of  poetry.  Ho  contributed  some 
One  letters  to  Coleridge*s  Friend,  under 
the  signature  of  Mathetes,  Prom  that 
gifted  man^  however,  he  afterwards  became 
estranged.  About  this  period  we  find 
him  thus  described  in  a  letter  from  Sir 
Walter  Scott  to  Miss  Baillic : — 

**Tbe  author  of  the  elegy  upon  poor 
Grahame  is  John  Wilson,  a  young  roan  of 
very  considerable  poetical  powers.  He  is 
now  engaged  in  a  poem  called  The  Isle  of 
Palms,  BOmethiQg  in  the  style  of  Soutbey. 
He  is  an  eccentric  genius,  and  has  fixed 
himself  on  the  banks  of  Windermere,  but 
occasionally  resides  in  Edinburgh,  where 
be  now  is.  Perhaps  you  have  seen  him. 
His  fiither  was  a  wealthy  Paisley  manu- 
facturer ;  his  mother  a  sister  of  Robert 
Sym,  He  seems  an  excellent,  warm- 
hearted, and  euthy^ia^tic  young  man; 
something  too  much,  perhaps,  of  tbe  latter 
quality  places  him  among  the  list  of 
originals/' 

"  The  Isle  of  Palms,  and  other  Poems," 
were  published  in  1812,  Rvo.  and  Wilson 
subsequently  produced  *'  The  City  of  tbe 
Plague,"  a  poem  as  much  diatingaiiihed 
for  its  delicacy  of  feeling  as  its  extreme 
beauty  of  expression. 

In  1815  their  author  wis  called  to  tlii 
Scotish  bar,  but  he  never  had  practice  at 
an  advocate. 

On  the  poblication  of  the  Fourth  Canto

and  others  of  his  collenj^eff  tnott  enkineut 
for  piety  and  active  pbllnnthropr,  he  giivc 
proof  of  a  religious  prindpk  nr  deeper 
than  any  m«re  sentimeotal  feeling  or 
phUosophical  pertuailoo. 

He  could  enter  Into  the  spirit  of  lake 
scenery  deeply  witli  WordBWorth  when 
floating  on  Windermere  &t  tanset:  and  he 
could,  aB  we  see  by  Moorc*s  Diary,  imitate 
Wordswortb^ft  mouologucs  to  odminitioa 
under  the  lamp  at  »  jovial  Edinburgh 
B  up  per- table.  He  could  collect  as  strange 
&  Bet  of  oddities  about  him  there  as  ever 
JobnBon  or  FichUng  did  in  their  City 
lodgingB  ;  and  he  could  waudcr  alone  for  a 
week  along  the  Irout  Ktreamg^  and  by  the 
mountain  tarna  of  WestmcrUnd.  He 
could  proudly  l^d  the  regatta  from  Mr. 
Bolton'B  at  Storr'Sj  as  *' Admiral  of  the 
Lake/*  with  Canning,  Scott^WordsiYorth, 
Soutbey^  and  othcrg,  and  shed  an  intel- 
kctual  sunBhine  as  radiant  as  that  which 
glittered  on  Windermere ;  and  he  could 
forbid  the  felling  of  any  treea  at  Elleray, 
and  shrond  himself  in  ita  damp  gloom, 
when  its  miatress  waa  gone,  fearing  a 
hc([ne»t  of  melaocholy  which  he  never 
surmounted.  The  manner  in  whicli  he 
saw,  wooed,  and  won  hts  wife  was  quite  in 
keeping  with  bis  romantic  and  original 
character.  Seeing,  among  a  party  visiting 
the  lakea,  a  lady  whose  appearance  struck 
him,  be  found  out  at  what  inn  they  were 
guing  to  stay  ;  and,  inducing  the  landlord 
to  allow  him  to  act  as  waiter,  he  contrived 
to  have  an  opportunity  of  &eeinji;  more  of 
the  object  of  his  admiration,  and  then  of 
declaring  his  passion.  The  reanlt  was  in 
every  way  more  fortunate  than  so  irref^tar 
an  introduction  might  have  produced. 
The  **  grace  and  gentle  goodness  "  of  his 
wife  were  bound  about  hia  heartstrings ; 
and  the  thought  of  her  was  known  and 
felt  to  underlie  all  hiB  moods  from  the 
time  of  her  death.  She  loved  Elleray,  a»d 
the  trees  about  it,  and  he  allowed  not  a 
twig  of  them  to  be  touched  till  the  place 
gT«w  too  moaay  and  mournful,  and  then 
he  parted  with  it.  He  was  much  beloved 
ID  that  neighbourhood,  where  he  met  with 
kindness  whatever  waa  genuioe,  while  he 
repulsed  and  shamed  atl  flatteries  and 
aflectationi.  Every  old  boatman  and 
yonng  angler,  hoary  old  shepherd  and 
primitive  dame  among  the  hills  of  the 
district}  knew  him  and  enjoyed  his  pre- 
Beoce.  He  was  a  steady  and  genial  fnend 
to  poor  Hartley  Coleridge  for  a  long 
course  of  years.  He  made  others  happy 
by  beiDg  fo  intenaely  happy  himself,  when 
bis  brighter  moods  were  on  him.  He  felt 
and  enjoyed  too  intensely,  and  paid  the 
penalty  in  the  deep  melancholy  of  the 
[  close  of  his  life.  He  could  not  chajiten  the 
Lejtnberance  of  hla  love  of  nature  and  of 


genial  hnman  intercourse:   and  he  mi 
cut  off  from  both,  long  before  his  death, 

Jamch  Homtoomery,  E»(i. 

April  30.  At  bis  residence,  the  Mount, 
Sheffield,  aged  83,  James  Montgomery, 
Esq.,  the  Poet. 

James  Moot^mery  was  born  Nov.  4, 
1771,  al  IrvSnej  in  Ayrshire.  His  father 
wflB  a  Moravian  missionary,  who,  leaving 
his  son  at  Pulueck  in  liorkshire  to  be 
educated,  went  to  the  West  Indies,  where 
he  and  the  poet*s  mother  both  died. 
When  only  twelve  years  old»  the  bent  of 
the  boy^s  mind  was  shown  by  the  pro- 
duction of  various  small  poems.  These 
indications  could  not  save  him  at  first 
from  the  fate  assigned  to  him,  and  he  was 
aent  to  earn  his  oread  as  assistant  in  a 
general  shop.  He  thirsted  for  other 
occnpatlons,  and  one  day  set  off  with 
^t.  f>rf,  in  his  pocket  to  walk  to  London, 
to  seek  fame  and  fortune.  In  \\\a  first 
effort  be  broke  down,  and  for  a  while  gavn 
u]i  his  plan  to  take  service  in  another 
sltuAtton^  Only  for  a  time,  however,  waa 
he  content,  and  a  second  effort  to  reach 
the  metropolis  was  snccesafnl,  6o  far  as 
bringing  bim  to  the  spot  he  had  longed 
for,  but  unsuccessful  in  his  main  hope^— 
that  of  finding  a  publisher  for  his  voluma 
of  verses.  But  the  bookseller  who  refused 
Montgomery's  poems  accepted  his  UbottTi 
and  lie  became  shopman  to  Mr.  Harrison 
in  Paternoster  row.  After  eight  months^ 
however,  he  returned  to  YorkiihTre,  and  in 
17B3  he  gained  a  post  in  the  establishineut 
of  Mr.  GtdeSj  a  bookseller  of  Sheffield^  who 
had  set  up  a  newspaper  called  The  Sheffield 
Register.  On  this  paper  Montgomery 
worked  con  amore^  and  when  his  master  had 
to  fly  from  England  to  avoid  impri&oament 
for  printing  bbelloua  articles,  the  young 
poet  bec4une  the  editor  and  pubUsuer  of 
the  paper,  the  name  of  which  he  changed 
to  The  Sheffield  Irb.  In  the  columns  of 
this  print  he  advocated  political  and 
religiooa  freedom,  and,  like  his  pre- 
decessor,  he  incurred  the  censure  of  the 
Attorney -General,  by  whom  be  was  prose- 
cuted, lined,  and  imprisoned  \  in  the  first 
instance,  in  1795,  for  three  months,  for 
reprinting  a  aonr  commemorating  **  The 
Fall  of  the  Basttlc;"  in  the  second  oaae, 
for  six  months  in  ITD6,  for  an  account  he 
gave  of  a  riot  in  Sheffield. 

He  contributed  to  maguiiieff,  and. 
despite  adverse  criticism  in  the  ^*  Edin- 
burgh Review,''  established  his  right  to 
rank  as  a  poet  In  1#I)7  he  puUlished 
*' Prison  Amusements;*'  in  1805,  The 
Ocean;  in  1800,  The  W'anderer  in  Swit* 
xerland  ;  in  I809,  The  West  Indies  i  and 
in  181S,  The  Worid  before  the  Flood. 
By  these   vporka  he  obtained  the  chief

Ffturncd  to,  even  in  thcae  dtyi,  by  all

elevation  of  tone  and  sentiment,  and  a 
feeling  for  the  picturefque  in  deaeription. 
Hill  lyrics  and  minor  versea  are  of  higher 
merit.  Witbout  reaching  the  treahnein  and 
originality  of  Wordsworth'**  short  poems, 
they  are  far  in  advance  on  'The  Poplar 
Field/  and  *  The  Rose,'  and  *  The  Morn-

Quaker  martyr,  and  *  The  Common  Lot* 
(to  name  only  a  few  among  many)^  have  a 
feeting  and  a  sincerity,  consistent  with 
sweetnesa  of  cadence  and  elevation  {if  not 
aubtlety)  of  imagination.  They  are  not 
canliog ;  they  are  not  cold  j  they  are  not 
weak  ;  they  have  a  faith  and  a  truth  in 
them  beyond  the  couTenttons  of  any  creed 
shaped  by  well-meaning  human  formality. 
Montgomery's  prose,  so  far  as  wd  know 
it,  was  genialt  kindly,  and  direct  in  the  ex- 
presaion  of  puqmse  and  judgment,  hut  not 
vigorous.  "^^ /A  ennam. 

The  Iris  continued  under  his  manage- 
ment, till  about  1840;  it  was  then  bought 
by  other  jiarties,  and  is  now  extinct. 

A  few  years  back  Uie  Queen  conferred 
upon  Mr*  Montgomery  a  peoBlon  of  IbQL

His  funeral  took  place  at  the  ShefRotd

made  on  the  commonest  species.  As  an 
instance  of  the  value  and  originality  of  his 
researches,  we  may  mention  that  the  hum-

the  Society's  Royal  Medal.  fie  eon- 
tributed,  also,  numerous  ralttablo  ptf^n 
on  insect  structure  to  the  TmtiaetioDS 
of  the  Linniesn  Society,  and  to  the 
Eotomotogfcal  Society,  of  whieh  b«  waa 
for  two  years  President.  He  wrote  oc- 
casionally in  periodicals,  as,  for  ejuunplc, 
the  article  Insects,  in  the  **  Cyclopsedia  of 
Anatomy  and  Physiology  ;*'  and,  though 
his  pursuits  were  not  greatly  varied,  t»e 
studied  also  the  archieology  of  hia  natite 
county  and  cathedral. 

Mr.  Newport  settled  at  tbe  west  end  of 
London  ks  a  surgeon,  but  his  heart 
and  mind  were  too  much  engrossed 
in  mieroscoplcal  investigation,  leading  ta 


OBiTVARV^-^Edward  RiddU,  Esq.  F.R,'AstS, 


philosophic  ends,  to  obtaio  much  practice. 
He  potsesaed  sincere  and  intereated  friends 
in  Dr.  MarAhall  Hall,  Str  John  Forbes, 
and  Sir  J  nines  Clark ;  and  the  l&st  pro- 
cured him  a  pcaaion  from  the  eivil  list  of 
100/.  a  year.  He  exercised  great  facility 
ID  making  hia  disiections,  and  acquired  a 
deitciity  in  drawing  either  with  the  right 
hand  or  the  left,  which  in  hia  demon- 
strations of  insect  aDatomy  and  physiology 
was  iavaluable.  Hia  style  of  writing  was 
flowing  and  agreeable,  though  some  might 
pronoance  it  to  be  ▼erboae.  In  all  cases 
his  papers,  ereii  though  on  abstruse 
details,  are  Tery  readable. 

Mr.  Newport  was  morbidly  sensitire  to 
oriticiflm,  and  viewed  with  a  somewhat 
jaundiced  eye  the  labours  of  others. 
Heoce  among  little  minds  he  made  com- 
batire  and  hitter  cnemiea.  Not  very  long 
fliDce  an  attack,  hardly  justifiable,  was 
made  ia  the  **  Annals  and  Magaxtne  of 
Natural  History/*  upon  his  researches  on 
the  Blond  and  Respiratory  StnieCures  of 
Animals  ;  and,  sure  of  his  strengtht  one  of 
the  latest  acts  of  Mr.  Newport's  life  was 
to  address  a  note  to  that  periodical,  in 
which  he  says,  *^l  have  obserred  with 
surprise  and  regret  such  a  mass  of  er- 
roDeoua  statements,  that  I  shall  feel  called 
upon  to  attempt  to  remedy  the  injury 
which  those  errors  are  likely  to  inflict  on 
aeience  by  their  promulgation,*'  Mr. 
New|>ort*s  skill  in  minute  detnoojstratioQ 
was  remarkable,  and  his  views  were  always 
sound.  A  medal  offered  by  the  Agri- 
cultural  Society  of  Saffron  Walden,  for 
the  best  £»say  on  the  Tnrnip  Fly,  was 
readily  gained  by  him  ;  and  bii  researches 
made  during  the  last  few  years  on  the 
embryology  and  reproduction  of  Batrachian 
reptiles,  and  out  of  which  the  discovery 
just  noted  was  elicited,  have  gained  liim 
universal  renown.  Mr.  Newport  was  a 
member  of  the  Council  of  the  Royal 
Society  at  the  time  of  his  decease,  and 
only  the  dwy  previous  was  dictating  from 
hia  bed  on  his  favourite  subject  of  the 
impregnation  of  the  ovum.  The  wheel- 
wright of  Canterbury  lived  to  receive  the 
highest  honours  for  researches  in  natural 
knowledge  which  this  country  has  to 
bestow  \  and  it  remains  to  mourn  that  a 
naturalist  of  such  high  philosophic  powers 
should  have  been  cut  off  in  the  zenith  and 
vigour  of  his  useful   career. —  IriMary 

A  subscription  (lisntted  to  one  guinea)

EnWARD  RiDDLK,  EsQ.  F.R.AiT.S. 

March  31.     At   Greenwich,  aged  67, 
Edward    Riddle,    esq.    F.R.A0t»S.    late 


Head  Master  of  the  Greenwidi  Hospital 
Schools. 

Mr.  Riddle  waa  one  of  the  most  dis^ 
tinguished  of  the  many  eminent  mathema- 
ticians who  have  been  reared  within  the 
watershed  of  tlie  Tyne,  He  was  born  at 
Trougheod  in  178R,  and  tnt  kept  school 
at  Otterbum,  on  Reed  water,  where  he  be- 
came acquainted  with  the  late  Mr.  James 
Thompson,  a  person  well-known  in  those 
parts  for  upwards  of  half  a  century  for  his 
knowledge  of  many  branches  of  science, 
and  his  attAinments  tn  mathematics.  From 
him  Mr.  Riddle  derived  that  taste  for  the 
sciences  which  clung  to  his  mind  to  the 
end  of  hiu  life.  From  Otterburn  he  re* 
moved  to  Whitburn,  in  the  county  of  Dur- 
ham; and  while  there,  in  1310,  his  name 
first  appeared  in  the  Ladles'  Diary,  then 
under  the  editorship  of  Dr.  Hutton,  to 
which  he  for  many  years  continued  a  con- 
tributor, and  his  solutions  were  always 
remarkable  for  beauty  and  accuracy*  In 
the  years  IBU  and  1 819  he  obtained 
the  prize  given  by  the  editor  of  that  pe- 
riodical. 

After  continuing  seven  years  at  Whit- 
burnt  Mr.  Riddle,  through  the  recom* 
mendation  of  Dr.  Hutton,  was  appointed 
Master  of  the  Trinity  House  School,  New- 
castle, in  which  he  remained  for  the  same 
length  of  time,  proving  by  bis  energy  and 
abilities  of  the  greatest  service  to  the  nan- 
tical  education  of  the  port,  which  had  pre- 
viously been  in  the  lowest  possible  state. 
In  18^1,  while  holding  that  situation,  he 
made  an  extensive  series  of  observations 
to  ascertain  the  longitude  of  that  school, 
and  *'  to  determine,  by  actual  experiment, 
what  confidence  may  now  be  placed  in  the 
result])  of  lunar  observations."  The  mean 
longitude  wos  found  to  be  1  deg.  37  min. 
17  sec-  W.  These  observations  are  given 
iu  a  table  in  his  Remarks  on  the  Present 
State  of  Nautical  Astronomy,  published 
in  1621,  a  little  essay  admirably  written, 
and  proving  that  he  was  as  able  to  become 
the  historian  of  science  as  to  extend  her 
boundaries* 

In  lB2t,  by  the  same  powerful  influence 
of  Dr.  Huttottf  he  was  appointed  Master 
of  the  Upper  School,  Royal  Naval  Asylum, 
Greenwich,  where  he  remained  till  the 
period  of  his  retirement  in  1851,  Soon 
after  bis  removal  to  London,  he  became  a 
member  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  So« 
ciety,  to  which  he  contributed  several 
valnable  papers.  Mr.  Riddle  was  one  of 
the  council  of  that  learned  body,  and  took 
an  active  part  in  alt  its  plans  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  science.  In  the  third  volume 
of  the  Transactions  of  the  Society,  there 
is  an  able  paper  by  him,  **  On  Finding 
the  Rates  of  Timekeepers,'' in  which  he 
showed  liow  this  could  be  done  without  a 


662       Mr*  F*  CroU. — Mr,  David  Vedder. — Clergy  Deceased.  [Jane, 


Intuit  tiutrament.  To  amfttetir  Kstrono- 
Bterti  and  to  searAring  mea  not  having 
ftocetl  to  such  an  iDiStruinetit,  his  method 
must  be  very  uaeful.  la  the  twelfth  to* 
lume  of  the  same  Transactions  appeared 
another  of  his  pRpers,  **  On  the  Loii^'tude 
of  Madrsi  bj  Moon-Culmiaating  Ol^ser- 
YatioDs/*  which  is  very  elftborate,  and  con- 
tains many  valuable  formulte  and  remarks. 
His  most  Tsluoble  work,  however,  is  hid 
**  Treatise  on  Navigation  and  Nautical 
Astronomy,"  It  forms  a  course  of  mathe- 
matics for  the  nautical  man,  containing  as 
much  ulgebra  and  geometry  as  is  necessary 
for  the  demonstratioDs  of  the  various  pro- 
blems which  it  comprehends* 

Mp.  Riddle  was  noted  for  the  surprising 
quickness  and  accuracy  i^ith  which  he  took 
celestial  observations.  Shortly  after  his 
retirement  in  1851^  his  bnst  in  marble 
was  presented  to  him  by  a  large  nwmher 
of  friends,  accompanied  with  the  expres- 
sion of  their  high  esteem  for  his  worth 
both  as  a  public  and  a  private  man.  It 
was  presented  in  the  boys'  department  of 
Grecuwich  Sehoo! — ^the  Admiral  and  all 
the  officers  attending  in  full  uniform. 
These  were  deserving  honours  for  a  long, 
useful,  and  honourable  life.  He  retired 
on  full  salary.  Uii  sont  John  Riddle, 
F,R*A.S.  a  worthy  son  of  a  worthy  sire, 
tucceeded  him  as  head  master  of  the  Mathc- 
matiGal  Scboo!  at  Greenwich  Hospital. 


Mr.  F.  Croll. 
Feb,  12.     At  Edinburgh,  aged  2?;  Mr. 
Francis  Croll,  a  young  engraver  who  was 
rapidly  rising  into  emiueuce  in  his  natire 

At  a  very  early  age  his  talent  for  draw- 
ing attracted  tiie  notice  of  the  Messrs. 
Ritchie,  the  welUknown  Scotish  sculptors, 
who  urged  his  frknds  to  cultivate  it  i  he 
was,  therefore,  in  due  ticite  articled  to  Mr. 
Dobbie,  of  Edinburgh,  an  engraver,  and 
an  excellent  draughtsman  and  natuxalist, 
with  whom  he  made  considerable  progress 
in  drawing p  but  not  much  m  the  art  of 
engraving,  inasmuch  as  his  uia£ter  had 
little  employment  in  work;!  of  any  im- 
portauce.  On  tlie  death  of  Mr.  Dobbie, 
before  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  ser- 
vitude, he  was  placed  with  Mr.  R.  C.  Bctl, 
with  whom  he  remained  two  years.  To  this 
gentleman,  who  engraved  for  the  Art* 
Journal  Etty's  Picture  of  The  Duett, 
Wyatt's  Astronomer,  and  Wilkic*8  Bag- 
piper, all  in  the  Vernon  Gallery,  Mr.  Croll 
always  acknowledged  he  was  indebted  for 
his  proficiency  in  the  art  of  engraving. 
He  afterwards  engraved  for  the  same  aeries 
the  Tired  Soldier,  from  the  picture  by  F. 
GoodolU  A.R,A. 

WhUe  thus  occupied  with  bii  graver, 


Mr.  CroQ  found  time  to  &tteod  the 
of  the  Scotish  Academy^,  under  the  dliM* 
tion  of  the  late  Sir  W.  Allan.  R.A.  hImk 
tact  and  ability  to  impart  knowledge,  Gtm- 
bined  with  a  readiness  on  the  part  of  dkt 
young  student  to  receive  it,  enabled  tl0 
Ibtter  to  become  a  superior  drauglilaiBii, 
This  gave  htm  the  power  to  eagrav«  vlft 
much  facility  and  correctQess,  esp«cnllf 
in  portraiture;  and  hence  he  w«t  fre- 
quently employed  by  the  Edinburgh  p«b* 
Ushers  in  the  execution  of  portraila.  He 
was  one  of  a  few  engravera  cooimiaB 
by  the  Scotish  Association  for  the 
couragement  of  Art,  to  engraTe  a 
of  plates  from  *'The  Cottar's  Safiiifdty 
Night/'  from  drawings  by  J.  Faed,  B^JL 
While  on  the  subject  entrusted  to  hia, 
number  five  on  the  list,  the  disease  whleh 
terminated  his  life  first  manifested  itaelf : 
he  died  soon  after  the  oompletioin  of  Ihc
