To SYLVANUS URBAN, Gevt.
ON COMPLETING HIS SliXTY-SEVENTH VOLUME.
URBAN, the Mufe to thee repeats her lays ;
Who love thy labours Ihould impart their praift.
SccTaftc fupcrior to the mafs appear.
And Judgement's bafe on various Science rear :
Tis thus the Foreft-trecs high towering rife,
' •^ Their bafe in earth, their canopy the ikies ;**
Beneath their umbrage live th'aerial race.
Their DatVal freehold, and their happieft place ;
Below, from earth the herds their comfort draw^
And follow Nature, form'd by Nature's law ;
While the gay infcdt-train or dart or fly,
A fliort-liv'd race, that breed, take wing, and die.
But ftill the lufty Oak and healing Pine,
" The Elm, or Afli, for all our wants combine ;
In endlefs Ihapes domeftic they are fpread ;
The chearful fire cv'n from their refufc fed ;
Disjoin'd, cemented, of the Foreft born,
Ships form new groves upon the briny lawn.
And as the Foreft, fo thy Work imparts
A fiore exhauftlefs to the Liberal Arts ;
A fruitful glebe, where every birth conveys
Some bloom, to brighten 'ncath ihy friendly rays;
While, like its foliage, numVous (hades combine.
And round their parent-trunk encircling twine.
See Genius occupy the loftieft fite.
And Ihine ennobled by its Patron's light ;
See kccn-ey'd Criticifm unite to fcan
All that contributes to the gen'ral plan ;
To raifc low Merit from its grave of earth,
And give its various fruits a fecond birth ;
Tlius every claim doth with thy Work afcend,
Ccnftfllng Uiv!iAN as the general friend.
* tf public ir.?n may draw on public fome;
PIcasM Willi Uiv' echo of a patriot name ;
If the Philanth'.'.j^ill:, with friendly glow,
Actra(!ls our fricnrllhlp, and difpcls our woe ;
Who, like the in»lucnce of the Summer's day,
{mpiiris to all l\h mild and chcaring ray ^
If ihelc have praife — tlie Mufe fhould then entwine
ilcr lays for Ui;baN| Patroa of i^e Mine.

BEING THE FIRST NUMBER OF VOL. LXVII. PART I.
Mr. UkbaV, 7j«. 6.
1df^4f^^ MUCH wonder that
^ \JL DO ofit of the nume-
2^ T S fouifrieodf of the Uic
^ c5 I«inienied Mr. Benweli
^ ^ has paid a greater tri-
W^yH^^yi^ bute of refpea to hit
memor? thdU what 'ip«
pcared in your Obitaary, to). LXVI.
p. 797. A cbara£ler fo truly amable
and excellent dcferves to be difpiaved
in the brighteft coloorsi nor is it with
any idea of rloint; juftice to hit merits
that I trouble you with this account of
him, but in the hope of drawing from
lome more able pen a fuller and more
perfeft delineation of his geotut and
▼irtue*.
Mr. Btnwell was brought up under
tbe circ ot the Rev. Dr. Valpy at
Reading, who ftill conduct his (cnool
with (o much credit to htmieif, and
fuch adrant'tge to his numerous fcho-
lars. He entered at Trinit* Coitege,
Oxford, in the be^ini^ing of the < ear
1783, and foon ditt.nguifhed himielf
as an cxceltebt cUflical fcho.'ar, parti-
culaily for hu L^tio compolitions both
in profe and v«r(e. Thcfe atta'.nmenti
led him to alpire to the public honour*
of the UDivcrHty, and his cffo.ts were
crowned with iuccefs ; firfl, by i^aining
the Under-gradiiate's prize in 1785 for
Lann hexameteis on *' The Siege and
Pil:ageof Rome by Alaricf^' and then
the Batchelor'Sy in the year 1787, by
a very tlegjnt eflay on *' The Superior
jiiy of the Moderns over the Antients
in Art and Science." Henceforward
he was looked up to as oce of the or»a-
ments of the Univerfiryi and, befidet.
his literary accompliflimentfli he was
equally eftaemed and admired by hit
friends for an amiable fweetnefs tad
, modefty of difpofition, for maturity of
judr.ement, and ao exquidte purity of
general- tafte.
Soon after taking his degree of A«|B«
be was ordained deacon by the prcfcot
Bilhcp of Hereford, then Biihop of
Oxford \ and (there being yet no fiel«
lowfhip vacant for him on the fbtiada*
tion of his college) he retired to the
curacy of Sunning ir. Berkfhire. Hero
the fame unafloaiing modefty of man*
ners, and purity ot character, gained
him the love and eAeem of hit pariihy
and the general refpeft of the neigh-
bourhood. But it is in his behaviour
to the poor that his admirable charac*
ter m<A (hone forth. His kind and
patient atiention to their wants and in«
(irmitiesy his aliiduity in inftru^iag
and catechizing the children, together
wi'h hit' zeal in viiiting the (ick, and
adminifUring to .them the comforts of
relig.on, (hewed his own ftrong fen(o
of clerical duty, and marked him as a
moft conlcientious and exemplary cler*
gynun. His own (incere piety too
gave weight to his inftruflionSy which
failed not f turn w$nnj t§ righttoufneft^
and. < eft an impieiiion, which, i dara
fay, is not yet effaced from the mindt
of his poor friends (as he ufed Co call
them) ;n that extenJive parifli*
In the year 1790 Mr. B. fuocecded

*n his return to Oxford he cnfriged in chaile» eafy, and correal, formed in
the tuition of pupils, and undertook, the fchool of Cicero and Addilon, or
the care of 3 new edition of the Mrmo-. ' perhaps more nearly refembling rhe
eiegant (implicitv of his favourite Xe«
no|)hon. His critical tafte was emi«
nentl^ juft and pure ; nor was it coa«*
fined to lite^ry produ^ioos, but c«
quaMy extended to p^iinting, printt,
and eve-V wfrrk of elegant art.' His
d>fcourfe!( for tlic pulpit were written
and dtlivered in a flra:n of pie:v "tnd
finctrttv, well ndap'ed to move the af-
fections of hii poorei hearers, to whom
heufed more parriruUrly to iddr-.Tt
himfrif ; and bmh in manner and mat!
ler his preaching flron^ly called to
mind the piou<> ^nd tmiaolir ze%l of the
rab'Uia tf Xi^9ph%m. In this work|
from the muUipliclty of his other en-
^aff'tncntf, his ' progrfct's was much
flower thkn the lovert of Greek titera-
ture cou'd have wiflied ; and, we be-
lieve, only about two>thfrA oflt wert
finiihedacthc ttme of hit death. Bat,
from the fpecimens wnich the writer of
this memoir has fecn, there is a difpliiy
of accuracy of verbil cniicifm and
text-emcodation, which rank him a*:
moDg the foremoft of editors of the
Chliics. Ht ^lib took upon himfelf the
tioub'e of giving an entiieiy new L*
tin trariilition. which, for elegance of good Bifhop Wilfon. With a mind
I«atinity,isnot inferior to any that ever thus highly improved and well-direc*
accompanied a Greek author, that of ted, had it pie afed D'vine Ptovidenca
the Cyropxdia of Hutchmfon not ex-
cepted.
In the fpting of the laft year Mr B.
was.tnftituted to ihe living of Ch'lton,
in Su^olk, on the preTentation of Mr,
Windham, the Secreury at War.
This enabled him to accomplilh his
union with a moftfenfible and am able
woman, to whom he had been long at-
tached with the pured fove, and who
^as defervin^ of a man of fuch virtue
aiid merit. Theirmarriage took pla^e in
June; and in September a fever, which
he caught in his hufOitnc .itteotion to a
poor (ick family at Milton, deprived
the world of his valuable life, and left
his widow <ncon(olable for fo fudden a
di^privation of all her hopes. The life
of man is often called a breath— >a va-
poui I And when we coniider the
circumflances of this happy union,
there feems fuch a daih of all human
hopes and profpefls, at fully confirms
Ihe idea of the fraii a«d pei ifliabie te*
nure of oar laortal ftate. But " the
▼irtuous foooed die ;" and this good
man is called away to receive thole re*
wards which are laid u[^ for fptrits fo
pure and heavenly.
To review bis general character ;<w-
Ai a fcholar» Mr. Binw«ll was of the
6rft rank^emmeatly literate as a cUffic
and philologift, and of no lefs rehned
tafle 4nd (kill in autxjuarian refe<irch«
to have granted him a longer tertn of
ycirs. he w6u'd no doubt have pro-'
duced fome work th^t .^'ould have en«
riched the ftores of learnng, ur pro*
moted the c.iufc of virrue and religion.
In flature Mr. Benwelt was at)Out
the middle Hze, fleiidvr, and grntcel
in perfon, of mild and penile deport*
ment and manneis, which, wuh the
(off expreffi m of his eyes and counie- .
nance, contributed to render him uni*
veif^lly beloved.
His tofs to his friends is irreparable,
and by »one of thim .s he more fin*
cerely lamenred than by toe writer of
this impertc^t dccouiit. He knew Mr.
Benwell (won pticr hii entrance t the
L^nive^^lt^, and always edeemed hit
friendlhip and ncquMutance as one of
the happie(\ ciicumUances of hi* :ife.
This tribute of affedlion, thetcf re, he
has wilhcd to pay to the n:emory cif
him as a man of the mod pure and
virtuous charafter, of refined genius
and t^ile, and of the ftridcA difpofition
and manners.

In the fpMng of the laft year Mr B.
was.inftituted to ihe livi.ig of Ch'tton,
in Su^oik, on the prefentation of Mr,
Windham, the Secretjry at War.
This enabled him to accomplilh his
union with a moft feniible and am able
woman, to whom he had been long at-
tached with the pured love, and who
v^as defervin^ of a man of fuch virtue
and merit. Theirmarnage took pla^e in
June; and in September a fever, which
he caught in his hu'nunc attention ro a
poor C\ck family at Milton^ deprived
the world of his valuable life, and left
his widow locooiolable for fo fudden a
deprivation of all her hopes. The life
of man is often called a breath— >a va-

circumflances of this happy union,
there feems fuch a daih of all human
hopes aod profpeAs, at fully confirms

duced fome work th^t .^ould have en«
riched the ftores of learn ng, or pro*
moted the ciufc of virtue and religion.
In flature Mr. Henwelt was at)out
the middle Cizt, fleiidt;r, and grntcel
in perfon, of mild and genrle deport*
ment aod manners, which, with the
(ofi exprelfi ^n of his cyew 'dud counte-
nance, contributed to render him uui* -
veif'illv beloved.
His tofs to his friends is irreparable,
and by r.one of ihcoi .& ht. more fm*
cercly lamenred than by the writer of
this imperfect dcc.>uiit. He knew Mr.
Benwell (oon ^ticr hii entrance t the
LTniverfit^, and always elleemed hit
friendlhip and icquMutance as one of
the happie(\ ciicut:)Uances of hn :ife.
This tribute of affedion, the of re, he

reaches no farther than ^bout 1650 ; fo
tkar it may be no improbable fuppofi-

However this be, it fliould feem from

Zouch ; for, we are informed that the
famiiy ifi»g exiinSf* the chapel, parti-

From the inscription on the menu-

the Haoghter of rhe Lord Zouch, 'and
lefc ifliie three (ons; ahd in Hutchins's
Hif^ory of Dorfet (he is H^ted to be
Cftth»riie, fecond daughter of John
Lord Zoudi of Hxrringworth.
But It is remarkable, that neither

pedigree in Byvdgei's Northampton-
shire, rifiiike ni^ntun of fuch mairiage;
nor IS ao| daughter Catharine men-
tioned either of John, or of rhe fuc*
ceedmg Lofds Zouch of Harringworth.
So th^i it may not be improper to en-
quire whether fhc was daughter of
John, or of Richird, or of George
Lord Zouch \ and aifoy whether Any

IN un excurfiont which I made laft
autumn, to vifit the filace of my na*
tivitv, I had an opportunity of afde'r*
taining the parentage of the poet Mal-
let. His father, whofc n ime was James
Milloch, kept an alchoufe in Crieff, a
handfome little village in the county
of Perth," and about 56 mUes North
from Edinburgh; Here Mallet was
born. During the rebellion in^ 17159
the village of Crieff was burnt by the
Highland army, on account of the at-
tjichment of its inhabitants to the royal
caufe. The houfe of James Mai loch
fliaiei the fame fate with the refi of the
village. Sonne y^arft ago the defcend-
ants of the fufFerers received fiom go-
vernment a lain equivalent to a certain
proportion of the iofs which h^d been
fuHained. The proportion which fell
to jAn)e« Maltoch's heirs was about
24 1. itc'ling. This fum, I believe,
was never claimed by acy of Ma'let^s
children. CrlFENSIS,

If thefe que (lions do not meet with a

cirpe£ted from an inquifitdrinl council
under the aofpices of p:ipal tyranny.
What I have to fay, immediately re-
lating to this point, may be compre-
hended in a few \\i«<ds.
If theUniverlny of Cambridge h^ve
no ether tiew in its et^abl (hment than
tlic general advancement of learnmg
and fcience, Mr. Frend is not only
permitted, but even invited by the na-
ture of the inAitution, to publifli any
political ot religious opinions, however
novfl, irregular, orexriavngan*, which
have no tendency ro excite ledition, or
recommend immorality. But, if this
Urriver(iTV is to be confidfied not only
as the khool and patronefs of fcience,
bui a<(<) of religion, and not only of
telii^ion in general, but m a moie efpe-
cial manner of religion ai^ c{l.«bli(h«d

read the cflfL-nfive pamphlei, which was

Cril CL'iifiire pnd difgrace, without ^t
ti.e fame time ten uncini; the m-ifl im-

. without encouraging ii< members in
licentious fpeculaiions and difoideily
opinions, and without provokir.-g its
youth to iftfult that church, which ic
IS bound to prote6V and vindicate.
Lt-'t the reader of the abovemen-
liancd let«er be cautious how he con-
demns the univeificy and is cfHcers
from the pirincipie ot adopting,the po.
ceedings by a fpirit of party or perfonal
animoiity, of wanton oppreffion, or
unneceflary rigour ; or, on the other
hand, by a difpoAtion of mildncfs,
which nothing but the necefHty of
maintaining the fundamental ptinciplet
of it& inftitution, and prefcrving the
mofleflfcntial part of its difcipltne, could
have induced to puoifli m any degree
whatever.

,tions» left yoti make a js;ood chimney a
bad one. To cure this, I have tf led
various ways of making a fire; buc.
none have anfwered lo well as the fol-
lowing, which is in reality only rever-
finrg (he common mode. The grate is
entirely emptied of its contents, and
the coils are thrown promifcuouily
(withoiK having very lar^eones amongft
tnem) to the heigm of two or three
bars, according to the depth of the
grate ; upon which the wood is laid,
iod the cinders are placed at the top,
and the 6re u lighted by a candle in
the ufual way, or, if convenient, by a
fire-lhovel of well-burnt cindets from
another 6re, upon which the cold cin-
ders mud be immediately thrown.
The fmoke is very inconfiderable,
nnd goes dire^ly up (he chimney ; and
tlie cinders art very foon heated. In
tigie the upper (urface of the coal takrs
fire ; an4, as the fmoke ilTues, it is ar-
retted by the parous quality of the
cinders, and, pnfling aifo through a
burning fubftance, great pm of* it is
confumed; and what iifues from the
whole. maf^, to go up the chimney, is
Very in^confiderabie, and of a different
appearance to the fmoke efciping from
(ires made in the common form. It is
ohviouH that a great portitn of com-
buftible matter, which is now commonly
wafted, is by this means confumed in
the fire, and the benefit of it enjoyed ;
the cinders a£ling upon the fmoke
fomewhat as a filtering- ftone does upon
water, and the fuel they catch helps
them to hum clearer, and, what may
appear extraordinary, preferves them
longer from bt^ing confumed. If any
one is in doubt about this fa6^, I refer
him to the very faiisfa^lory experiments
of Dr. Franklin. As this fire confumcs
downwards, the upper ftrata of the
coals aie rcc!uccd to cifldcr« before the
lower ones \ ^nd the appearance of
hnoke is gradually diminiflied, though
.it muft be an undoubted fa£t that as
much really ilTues from the coals. It
burns aifo clearly to the very hoitomj
«(ithout the necefl^ty of fiirring it with
the poker; and, as it gives as much
hear, and talts tw^ce as long as a fire
made in the common way, the(e are
additional arguments in its iavour, and
will bare their propoj'tioped weight
wheie fuel is the dearer.
It It a Very proper fire to be left to
itfelf for a length of time, and is the
beft that can be for a fick chamber, or
for thofe who arc fond of firei in dicir
bed*rooms at night; the great incon-
veniences of which are, that, in the
ufual mode, they require fre({uent (iir-t
ring, and are apt to fill the room with
fulphureous' vapodr, and endangering
fffocation.
Servants are in general obftinate^
and will require to be inftru6led a few
times ; which, with a perceptible abate*
menr of their own trouble, will per*
haps induce them to follow this method,
which I will veoiure to pronounce the
beft in all cafes ; and the only care nc-
crflfary is, to keep the coals and cinders
well fepirated.
Af:er all, the chimney mav be found
lo fmoke, tut then it is from fome
other caule, and requires its appropriate
remedy, as this is offered for one dif-
tin£^, yet very prevailing, inconvenience.
If this method was fteadily perfevered
in, I do farther venture to pronounce,
that almoft nine out of ten, of chim-
neys called bad drawing' ones, will ob-
tain a very^ood name, and that much
labour and dirtinefs will be avoidedp
as well as good refpirable air preferved
uncontaminated, and many tender loogt
etcape daily torture.
As the experiment is in every one's
power to make, I (ball not trouble
you with any ef mine farther than to
fay, that I have trie^ it in a great va*
liety of fuppofed hopelefs fubjefls, and
never knew it fail of fuccefs. Viator.

John» Earl of Bute, about the year
1768, pulled dotvn thik old niaefion-
houle at Luton, to- build a new houfe
in its pKiae 1 but, with great tafte and
judgement, retained the old chapel, with
Sir Thomas Pope's wainscot, where it
Aill remains. (Bibl.Tup.Biu.VllL6r9.)
No tracer of the old houfo at Tyitw
hanger now remain. It was tohiUy
dcmoUAed al>out the year 165a) and
was loon afterwards moft elegantly re*
built as it appears at prefeut.

Gentlemen,
IT is well known, that the late de-
mand made by France en Rome for
the fincil works of Greek fcutpture,
and the beft paintin|ss in that city, pro-
duced two pcc.tions from different bo-
dies of FrcncR Aitifts to the Executive
Diredory ; one praying, that thofe
works might not be removed, (igned
David, Giroudet, Vincent, &c* which
was anfweced by a fecood, an Englifh
tranilatioB of which was publiflied in
tbe Courier, 06lober 13, blaming the
Hrl^i and dciiring that all the fiooworks
night be imme.d aiely brought into
France, to form an Univetfu^ to which
ail niitions fliou'd be obliged to fludy
the Arts of D^Hgn, (igned by Hubert,
l^d thirty-eight other artifts.
This queftion, whether the fine
works (huuld be brought Aom Italy to
Paris, IS of the greateft importance to
Art, "Science, and Literature, and of
oeafe^uence in this refpe6t 10 all
£ur 'pc ; and, although it is much
more likely to be decided by force than
laafon, yec every Artill, of whatever
country, will have an equal right with
the petitioners, to confidcr the obje6l
of this latter petition, and its probable
#OBfe<|uences.
I (hall, therefore, avail myfetf of
this priirilege ; and, without engar^Ag
ia any political difculHon, or applying
Biyfelf ia any way to the pamons uf
mcQr I lb>ll examine the arguments
ooatained in this fecood petition by the
t«ll of truth only.
I (hall firll coniider upon what pre-
tence the French nation has made this
demand upon the Papal li^te, and how
far it is reafonablc with refpc^ to the
reft of Europe. When compeofaiion
is demanded by one Aaie from another,
it is for fome injury or lofs fuftained }
ImiC France has fuAained neither lof^
nor injury from the Papal ilate ; on
the contrary, by the formation of the
French Republick, and the progrefs of
the French arms in Italy, the Papal
Stau has loft the provinces of Avignon,
Bologna, and Ferrara \ and, therefore,
in ji:&ice, ch«> Romans might demand

the poffefibrs of thofc works wouU! I>e
deOroyed, ai well as, mpft likely, the
6bc wosks themfclves, m the cooteft.
Such patriotifm is not virtue, it is
a fplendtd vice; that parnotifm alone
is virtue, by which jxe provide for the
good of our couatr y, without dom^ any
thing that inurfercs with the welfare
or hapiyscfa of auotber; this is the
o«ly way in which we can honour our
country, and not, like highway- robbers
or pirates^ io bringing home whatever
valuable, plunder we can feizc.
Thus we fee, th-it the intended re.
moval of the fine works of Sculpture
and Painting is as unreafonable, re-
fpefting the reA of £urope, as it is un-
juft refpeAing Rome; ifor, as France
docs not appear to have any claim
upon Rome for compeafationy any
other plea might be urged, with ai
much rcafon, by any other country of
Europe.
if France, in her dtmand on Rome
for thofe workt, had any motive of
ftace-poiicy, or view of indemnifica-
tion for general lolTes^ thcfe I can fay
Bocbing IO, as being out of the way of
my intention,' which was to enter into
no political difcuffioni but, furely, it
may be faid, that thcfe works fupply oo
meant to fupport a war ; and it muft
be doubtful whether their removal to
Faria would facilitate the ftudy of
Pciigo, even in that city, whiift the
great comoiunity of Arc and Letters,
both of the prefent and future agtrs, na-
tives as well as foreigners, would have
reafon to blame France for having dif-
membcffed the Univerfity of the World.
However, before 1 quit this part of
the Cubjef^, I ihall notice one argu-
ment of the petitioners for wilhing to
bring chofe works to Paris : it is this ;
^* the Romans, although antlSntty rude
and unpoli(hed themielves, civilized
their nitiun by cranlplancing into ii the
prod ud ions of conquered Greece.'*
It IS true, that the Roman orators and
|H)ets owe almoft the whole of their
rptendor to what iltey had learned from
the Greeks ; but Rome profited li tie
by Grecian philofophy and niathema-.
ticka i they were reduced to be the
handmaids of politicks and war in that
metropolis ; and, according to the tcf-
cimony of Pliny the Elder, as well al
all the remaining monuments, we have
but flight groufldf to bchcvc, that ail
4
the painting and fculpture brought
from G e«ce ever produced a Romaa
Arti(\ of real excrlUncc ; on the con*
tr.<ry, it hns been iuppofed, ihit the
Genius of Rome was buried under the
ruins of Greece.
Jn mv next, I fh^ll confider how far
it \i poHii)ie to make France an univcr*

Dear Sir, NortbumbfrlanJ, Off. ^,
EVERY account I have fro<n Eng-

I eojoy atmoll every thing 1 can wifli
in this life, and where I hope to clofie
it ; though I find it is reported, boik
here and m England, that { am abouC
to return. The two heavy afflictions
I have met with here, in the death of «
fon, and of my wife, rather ferVe to
attach me to the place. Though deadt
and buried, I would not willingly leave
them, and hope ro reft with them whc«
the Suvereifvn Difpofer of all thing*

we enjoy in this country are indeed
very great. Here we have no poor^

This particular liare pays all itsofficcni

There are very few crimes committed^
and we travel without the lead appre*

ways keep out of war. I do not think
there ever was any country in the
world in a flate of fuch rapid improve-
ment as this u at prefent { but we hav€
not the fame advan<a^ts for literary

Many books arc now printed here*j
but what fcholars chicfty want are ol4
books, and thefc are n(;t to be had.
We hope, however, that the trouble*
of Europe will be the caufe of fendifig

it is aa i'l wind that blows no profir.
I fincercly wifli, however, that your
troubles were at an end ; and from our

Tbe prefent name of this ifland is
faid to be affumed from Robeit Keith,
who in the year 1010 diliinguiil|ed
himfelf very highly againll the Danes^
who had invaded Scotland with a nu* '
mcrous army, at the battle of B'trry in
Angus, where be killed with his owa
hand Camus, general and champion of
the Danifli army, whereby the Scota
obtained a complete viAory. In me<*
mt»iy of this general, a lioDC was fei
up, called Camus't Croft at this day,
at the place where the eagagement
happened. In reward for his valour,
Robert was made hereditary raarifliali
of Scotland, and had this ifland be.
flowed upon him, tof^ ether with the
barony of Keith in £a(l Lothian, from
which perhaps he aflumed his name ^
but It is more probable he was caUed
Keith on account of that battle^ Ceitti
in Erfe Signifying a battle. Some
think Inch Keith a corruption of Inaia
Skeoch, mifty ifland ; but this I doubc«
The French called it H/Uda Chtv^ux^
from its property of fooa fattening

ter of Airprize, becaufe thev are fovindt
of foroe ifclat ; and the aAori them*

and libenines of old, with the Ciras,
SfTimtf and other panders of fenfuality
and licentioufnefsy fefems, in fome
meafure, to be paying homage to vice.
Not fatisfied with human, beings, we
have impreffed into our fervice all the
monfters of thofe fabulous times, fuch
ai, the Minotcur, Ct^ttaur, Ctrberus,
Hydra, and Harfif. And though the
gods and godde4«s of the Fagins hare
been hurled from their Olympian
thrones, yet we have made them, in a
roaooer, our titular divinities, as if
The Pagan deities were entirely f>eg«*
leded by our anceftors : for, thougit
towards the condufion of the laft cen«>
tury the fliips of the Royal Navf
were numerous*, yet but one wat
deified ; and that honour was conferred
on Neptunif as being fovereign of the
Tea. But, in a triumphal fong, coin*
pofed on the occaHion of a great na^al-
viAory, he is faid to have refigned t6
the Britifh monarch bis Tridtnt and
his coiral throne. We And, however^
in (he nautical regifters of paft timet^
that fdme refpef^ was paid to Sl,Am^
drrWj St, Dmvid, and Si. dfr^i : the
laft is ftili retained, nor, perhaps, on;'
account of his piety, buc becaufe he '
had been a fighting*man, and killed''

we have MiMirv^t to ft,'\vc wifdom to

dud our warlike operations ; Ntptum,
to pilot our (hips i and Jupiter, to llnke
our enemies with coofufion, by his

the favour of'jutio, that gieat terma-
gant of the (kics, who, by fcolding or
coaxing, Teldom failed to procuie the
alliftance of the father of gods and
men. But other nations have paid a
iimilar refpe^l to the Heathen deities,
by giving their names to fome of their
Ihips. And Catholic countries, not
content with the calendar of Pagan^
have had- recourfe to that of Papal
Rome, for appellations, and have

Of what importance is it to ynur re*

that R. Y. thinks hinifeif abi>ve writing

attention which his various remarks
difcuvtr his having paid to thefe mat<p

compiaius ol nviy be reduced to foufn
which, I hope, h^ will permit me (o

WITH Mr. HutchtDfon's expofi*
tion of the Bridekirk font, ■•
communicaccH by Don«tua» in your larft
vol. p. 1004, I muft confefi I am oot^
quite (.ici^ficd, being incUfied to nccedc
and * vtuld to the dtfcripttoB Uiggtttt4
Itv BiQ)op Lvttelcooy Mr. Beli; Mr.
6ough» Mr. PcDnant» and others. A
few yeirs fincc, when, at the requcft o€
the late Mr. Thorpe, I was auempCiM;
to iMufbrate the foott engraved for mi
Antiquities wiihin the Diocefe of Ro«
clieflcr, and in which, when tfafe boolt
was puhiiflied, I found that, .in a fc«r
circumllances, my wortliy friend had
exprelTed a difivrent opinion without
afligning his reafons, I took every op-
ponunity I had of examinincr drawingt
and plates of other antient fonts, witt
the hope of ftriking out fome light
from the comparifon. The font 9^
Bridekirk was one that pafTed uodtr
inv infpeflion ; and the notion I formed
of the Eaft and Nonh ticwi of it, ex-
hibited in Arcbaeologia, vol. II. pt« is.
P- i33» I win infcn frrmi my detail of
the font at Oarenth, in Cuftumale Rof.
fenfe, p. 96. To me it appears highly
probable that it was the purpofe of the
artift to difplay the fall of man, wi^
an alluGon to his redemption in the
baptiiVn of our blclTed Saviour. Tho
upptr fillet or pannel, in the Eaft vieir,
exhibits a ferpent with two heads ; one
o^'thcm reds on the body, and it hit
a fifai»e fimilar to what is often ufed hi
marking the evil fpirit, and by which»
in particular, he is diftinguiflied on the
foots at Famingham, Southfleet, and
Shorne (Cuftumale Roffenfe, pi. xvii.
p. no.*). From tlie other head b
pendent
lloAifBt thonh 10 money either real
or cpifcoptl, are BOW known ; bot, joki ng
tfide, at to myfelF, I have ifot the leaft
doahtf hM th« penny it a genuine coin
of Rfehnrd III. And I was led to be-
\w9t the late Mr. Sonihgatc, who pof-
itfbd cntieat fkill in coini, never had
■ fafpidoa of it. He even went f i
fcr ni to lay « bflf-of the value of lol.
sNi the ttMc with the coin, and gave
itona optioaei choke. Having thouehts
at that time of forming m f^es of &z-
lift pekviet, I give preference to the
cots. I muft now beg leave to clofe
this letter, and to apologize for its
length 00 fo triHiag n fubje£^ ; and to
c»bffenpe that I have here done with it,
but Ihall7>e verv glad to fee any new
obfenrations of your correfpondentt
who will take the trouble to give this
t^Qubted coin a proper arrangement.
A^, laftty, to lay, that I have not
had the f mailed intention either to mif-
lead or deceive any of your readers', by
Rasing the coin to be of the n&l min-
ftge of Richard 111. ; aeither could the
poor labourer, from whom I received
the eoin, mean to impofe 00 me, and
whofe heart was gladdened -by receiv*
iBg a Ihilling for the fame.
TThe letter of Mr. Subbing Shaw,
p. 9t4. of yottr laft vol. mud entirely
do away every qaeftiosable fliape which
&• may entertain in refpcd to the au«
thfnticity of the penny of Stephen,
engraved in your Mae., for O&ober
laft I lU feemt n great fceptic, and will
fcaccely allow the verHitility in the
BritHh aniicnt m'lnta, which ia well
known they pbdcfied; if a coin is dif-
covered the lead different from any

firodqces a feria of donbti, which, like
£10 w bffbte z meridian fun, diflblves,

to efcape from Cadiz ; and, if fKHn re-
luftance to provoke hoAiiiitcft with
Spain, he could not but .-applaud our
pacific dirpf'fitioDa. The fecood point
was, whether any official accounts had
been ttccived of rhc|ravages committed
by the eBcmy at Newfoundland, and if
proper meauirek were taken to check
their progrefa, or diflodge them from
that ftatioD. The latter part of his
qucftioD, he was iennble, was difficult
and delicate to be anfwcred ; but he
tnuft ftilly as a reprefentative of pne of
the moft flouriibiog commercial towns
in the world, prefs an enquiry, whether
¥r« had any official grounds for hoping
that the enemy would be prevented
irom making any farther devaftations.
Mr. Pj^us replied, that Government
Vtt in pofleffion of official accounts

was enteruined that the enemy had re-
tired from chat parr of the coall.

and, as the principle of that hi!! had.
then met univcrial approbation, he
Krufted that the one he purpofed now to

In the Commons, the fame day, the
CkmMCilUr 9f tt4 Extbiqmr moved the
order of the Day, for the Houfe to re-
folfe itfelf into a Commiute of the
whole Houfe, to take into eonfideCBtioo
the paffage in bts Majcfly't- Speech
whifh alluded to " the intention roaai-
feflcd by the enemy to invade thcfe
kingdoms,*' &c.
The Houfe having refolved itfelf iir«
to tie Caid Committee, the Cbawceltor
of tbi Excbfgtar he^an by remarking,
that, from the avowed defrgns of the
enemy, he thought it his duty to take
the earliefl opportunity of lubmittingto
the Houfe that plan which he concei*
ved m^U effc£lual to prevent their pur-
pofes. With rei'pe^ to the p>an he
was going to fubmit, the general obfer'^
vations he had to make were few and
obvious. It was necclfary to exert our
natural means of defence, fo as not
only to render the efforts of the enemyy
ibould they have the temerity to attempt
a defcent, incfFe£lua1, but even to io-
creafe our vigoious and ofTcnfive opera-
tions agaiuft them. The firll and rocfl
natural means of defence he conceived
to be our navy. This, though already
augmented beyond any former e0a«
blifliment, was, he conccijed, fttU
capable of fanhcr flren^th, by be-
ing reinforced with an additional ntun*
ber of men to be raifed in dif&rent pa*
riflies : but ihefe levies he did pot in*
tend ibould be exdufivcly confined to
the fervice of the navy ; half of them
to be employed in bringing up to theft
regular eftablilkment feveral of thofe
regiments that had fulTered during the
prefent war, and the other. half to be
employed on-board the ,(Uet. He
therefore ihoulS propofe,Mbat 15,000
men Ibould be raifed in the difkrenc
pariihes, to be divided between %hc fea
and land ferviccs. It would 'farther
ilrike the Hoc^fe, as a very important
obje^ cf attention, to havcfuch a fprct
as would be able to 4£t upon any emcr«
gency, and called forth at a mooien^ft
notice ; and, therefore, we ibouid have
fuch a force ready to be called into ac-
tion at a moments notice, fuppofing
our navy not to be afiliog at all} yet
that the mode of raifmg this force tfiould
not interfere with the induftry and com-
merce of his Majefly's fubje£ls, it was
not intended that any (bould be called
into a^ual fervice except upon an ac-
tual invafion, or imminent danger of
.one. The fecond propofition therefore
was, that a fupplementary levy o£
60,000 men, to be taken by ballot ntMn
diffiercnt parts of the kingdom, but not
f0 be called upon, as be had already

another by Franc. Fr&d. Brne(li£^, at
Leipsic ; and the firft and fecond part
of a thirds with the notes »n'Gcrman, by
Dr. A. C. Boithcck v Lemro. The
two firft are intended for the ufc of
fchools : the editor of the la ft ailoptcd
the Bipontinr text without much cri-
tical difquifition. Mr. Wetzel his,
indscd, generally adhered to the text
of ErneRj, bur, as might na urally be
expc6ied from the opinion which he
had elfewhere expreffcn concerning his
merit as an editor of C c«ro, iJot wi:h-
oul frequent deviations from it, partly
the refult of his .own judgement, and
partly fupported by the au hoVity of
other modem critics ; and, nfore ef^se-
dally, that of BemeJt^ and Rfifle, To
Mr. Ws ediiioo are likewifc prefixed,
1, A lift of the Roman confuis during

Cicero; 4. Another of thofc of the

M. W. promifes likewifc, that to the

The works of Fisvius Arrianus have

Venice edition of 1535, Stephens's of

Raphelius, particularly the third of
their, has formed a new apd improved
text of this Brft volume, cuntainint^ the
exjicdition of Alexander ttie Great.
In the margin the parallel palFigts of *
Curtijs, Diodorus Siculus, and JuiHr)
are pointed out. The (ciond volume
is to contain the Indica, tnc Pcripius,

Hackney near London."
** My dear old friend,
** And now ray only dear old friend,

died laft winter of a cold, caught by offi-
ciating on the Faft-day i He has left one
daoghter, I believe in pretty good circum*
ftances { for a friend of his, (bme time
agoe, fettled upon hier twenty^pounds a
year; and he, no doubt, hat left her
ibaaething coufiderable himfelf.
«I am pleafed with the ilanzat yoo
fent me; there it nothing in them of
eigb^'fefeh s and if you have been at
yudng, in your attempt on the tUatb of
Aket-i ic will do you credit. That nirork
I have read, and think it deferves that
wotption it has met withalL
^The libel you mentioo, I hare. not
feen ; but I have feen nomberlefs papers,
which Ihew that our body politic it
far from being in perfeA iiealth. As
for my own health, I do not love to oero«>
plain ; but one 'partiodar I muft tell you,
that my fight i^ fo far gt>ne, as to lay me
under the neceffity of borrowing a hnd
to write this. God grant me grace under
this darknols, to lee more dtturly things
inviiibiB and eternal, thole great things*
which you and I rouft foon be acquainted
with I and why not rejoice at it ? There -
if not a d.iy of. my long life that I delire.
to repeat ; and at fourfcore it i& all Ishmr
md^r0mt. Wbat then have we to do ?
Bat one thing remains, and in that one
bleflisd be God| by his aOifl^nce, we are
five of fucccit. Let nothing therefore lye
btavy on your heart; let us rely on Him
who hat deoe fo great things for us ; that
loter of ibula, that bearer , of prayers^
wbenefcr the/ como IrDm* the heart;
and fure rewarJer of all thofe who love
Him, and put their trad in his mercy.
'< Let us not be difcontented with thiir
world ; that is had, but it is dill woife «
to be fiti^fied with it, fo fatisfied, as noC
to be very anxious for fomething mofOb.

THE late Lord TrimUflt'WH waa

He was alfo an excellent and worthy
nobleman : indulgent to an cxtenfive,
and now by his paternal caie, a flou*
nihing tenantry, amiable in his mano
ners, and truly beneficent in bis
difpofiticn,
A fecond marriage of his fath/tr, and
th« conftquent alienation of his affec-

veara in the mofl- ungratefol of- all.

tenfive leafes of his entailed eflatas aa
to reduce Lord Thomai to a very
flrniler incnroe for many years.of h*a
life *. He fucceeded in eftabliftiBg hia
claims; but, as he had kiiowa adver-
(ity, he felt, when prol'perous, how
great were the c!aiinf of tbofc who
needed his alfiftaocc.

Hon. Thomas Barnwalt, is married to
the daughter of Mr. Kirvan, a gentle*

learned teifure, explored the rtieoceof

Mr. Pennant fpeaking of the Winter
Gull (Britiih Zoology, vol. U. p; $3^)
fays, << this kind frequents, during
winter, the moid meadows in the in-
land parts of England remote from the
fea. The gelaiinous fubltance, known
by the name of ftar ihot, or ftar jelly,
owc;s its origin to this bird, or fome of
the kind % being nothing but the half-
di^cfled remains of earth* worms, on

not hitherto been acknowledged na-

through the medium of your Maga-

them.
Irii XtpbiuMt infertfd upon the au-
thority of Dr. Nafli in his Hi (lory of
Worceftcr£h'>re, wherein he aflertv
that the duchefs dowager of Portland
found it by the river-fide near Flad- '
buryi and in other parts of that county*
Qtj. Is not this the fpecies which Ge-
rard mentions growing wild in the vi-
cinity of Bath and Wells f
The Iris GermMea^ admitted into
Dr. Berkenhout's Synopfis, h very
properly omitted by Withering.
Epimtdium Afp'tnum, This Dr. W*
has given upon very flight teftimony»
and principally with the view of after-
raining whether h is really a native or
nor. It feems to have been conlidercd
by OUT herbalifls and older botanifit
as a very rare and curious plant.
Cjclsmtw EmropiHm. Mr. Wood*
ward hns a(rQred Dr. W. that this has
been f^nd in Suffolk. In the time of
Gerard, ic grew upon the mountains of
Wales, Lincoin(hire and Somerfetfliicci
hut, as it has not been difcovered in the
fituations he menrions fince then, there
is great reafon to fufpeft its legitimacy.
Liucojttm ^^hfuwi. Mr. Curtis fi^ft
found this in England growing by the
river next Greenwich, as alfo m the
Ifle of Dogs, Gerard enunrerates five'
roots of Ltuctjmm (including the
itjii'vum) all of which, he fays» " do

Colcheftcr, in the Ifle of Man, neere

THE ftraiajsein of affixing indecent
words to the facred tunes, dearcft
to the Romilh fuperftition, was carried
into complete e£fed in the infancy of
the Rfformatioa in Scotland. « The
furtous hatred of Popery (fays B fliop
Percy) led the Prefbyteriaas to employ
their rhymes in a raoft licentious man-
ner. It is a icccived tradition in Scot-
lantl, that, at the time of the Reforma-
tion, ridiculinis and obfcene fongs were
compofcd i« be fang by the rabble to the

pany with oaa whoie mind is not only
replete with cFaflical erudition, but
who had formerly examined ftmilar
ro'ids in Italy, though none, he con-
fefled, fo wide and beautiful as the
part which then arretted from his pea
the following very peitinent delcrip-
tion :
• If any remains of venerable antiquity
may claim the attention, or even a dillaiar
vilit, fi^m all who have the lead cariofity
for fuch refearches, it is the lienild fVmy ia
itscourfe through Sutton Park, and acrofis
the Colfield. It is here a very fpacions
road, not lefs tlian 60 feet in breadth; and,
thmifh the furface be in gcf>enl oveiTua
with heath, and, for a fhort fpace in tho
Park, owrfpread with oaks di confidera-
ble magnitude, yet the regularity of its &»•
gure has not been dilbirbed by the lipfe oC
14 centuries. It is formed by gravel and.
materials on the fpot; liigh raifed ia the
centre, with a gpntle flbpc to the borders
on each fide, where it is Ikirted by tl|0
glitters from which it was in part cafl upu .
The admirable prefervation of its original
ntyHiOty of furface to the extent of fomr
miles is owing to the fi>lloivingcircumftan»
ces : firft, its fituacion on gruund where tho
bufy transforming hand of culture has never
intruded, being for a mile and a half io-
clofed in a park, and, beyond that, ex-
tending more than a mile on the South,
and nearly a mile on tlie Noith, fide the
park over a dreary defert, the afpedl o(
which does not appear to have been changed
lince the time of the Romrms ; and", ttfly^
it is not in ufe as a public ru id for carriages^
nor are any marks of ruts or other iifequafl*
ties from fridlion vifihle on its furfice.
<< Its proximity to an allowed Roman
ftation at W'all, o/Zot ^tocetem, where it
interfedb another Roman road of eqaal ce-
lebrity, renders it, if poflible, an object of
higher regard. The names of the adjacepft
vilbiges. Wall and Chefterfield, give the
moft (atisfadory confirmation to the cbim
of this neighbourhood ^s exhibiting Uftiiig .
mcmuneients of Roman grandeor. Nor can
any ingenuous mtnd view fnck ftrikiiig tcf-
ti monies of hiftoric tructi without unufoal
emotion."

of which, together with other mifceila*
neous Antiquities, had been previoufly
contributed to nnv BrO vol. by the prefenc
learned and worthy bp.of Cloyne), about

not eicecd you much in dramatic excel-

hid JUpt there all his life; fince his

idifinhented him becaufe he engaged
himfelf to perform at one of the thea-
tres ; and, according to my eftimaiion
t)f parental aflr;.dion, of which I fpeak
feelingly, having fatally expsrienced it
in the former part of my life, he mighc
as well have difinherited his fon for be-
ing a fcholar ; for, our friend Horace
you knoWt gentlemen, cbferve;, that
'< Quo femel e(t imbuta recens, feryabit
Odorem teda diu ;"
«rbich paiTage, I believe, has been of-
teptimes thought applicable to the
fojce of education. The per fon I aU
ivde to was Mr. Rofs the player.
Permit me, my youn^ and learned
friends, to fay a word of Bonne! Thorn-
ton's tranfiarion of the play in qucf-
tion« And| (irfr, as to the title Amlit-
Mria. I am to contend it ought to
have been tranflated "The Caiket,»'
9!id not <' The Miftr." Does not £u*
clio'Siohtaining, hispofTefling, his lo.*
fiAg» and his recovermgy '*the caiket"
of gcAif make up the principal buii-
ncf« throughout the comedy? BeHdet,
Thornton htmfdf had a precedent ;
forj he notifies that an Italian tranf-
lated this play of Plautus, and that he
caliett it Aulalarim^ faom the vefiel or
pot in which was the Mifer's treafure;
and fo he calls his, for the fame rea-
fon> *•£« Spirts," "The Baikct."
See Thornton's note at the end of the
play in ther fecood volume of hit tranf-
lation* And Moltere, the French
Writer, calls it L* Avars, 1 fuppofe all
, thefe comic poets rely on the rhetorical
figure Profopopceia in their defence ;
nrhicb pats me in mind of a boy, who
pleaded the grammatieal Bgure Syn-
cope upon another occaAon, bat, I
think, upon much better grounds. Give
ine leave to trouble you wiih the anec*
dote. A fchoolfellow of mine at Bury^
^'hom the mafter, who was the Rev.
Mr. Arthur Rynnefman, and, I have
been informed, had been one of the
nihers at Wellminfter, could not make
comprehend the meaning of Syncope,
delivered an cxercife containing no-
thing more than tht fubjefl: of the
theme at top, and his name and date
ZX bottom. The mailer called the
flripling up, and aiked him what had
got the middle part of his exercife.
«' That is out by Syncope/' fays the
boy. Our pedagogue ivas fa pleafedy
that he gave the lad half-a*crown«
ThoinroR; in the note Uft aboTt
cited, obfervesj that the Italian's ver-
fion is very far from a tranflation, the
author having not only adapted the
names, but alfo the manners, to thofe
•f his countrymen, the Florentines;
and yet Thornton himfelf, in his firft
note, infortps us, that his reafon for
adopting the title given this play bv
Shadwell and Fielding was, becaufe
" The Mifer" was more familiar to the
Englijh ear ; and fee his note to v. 4^
a£V III. fcene '6. Again : he cites
<< The Merchant" in Englilh, but
gives the paflage in Latiu. This feeme
to be deficient in propriety; 'fee p. 194.
of the tranilation in ^ellion. Again,
he tranflates '< ego ufacUm madidum^'^
in vcr 103, aft III. fcene fr, " you
ihali 'be foaked with wine feas over ;'*
qu. *^ you (ball be drenched with
wine," omitting //A/ over. Ver. ao^
ad IV. fcene I. the literal tranflation
feems to be better than his. Thefe
remarks ars not made in malempsrtimf
but I Aatter myfelf they may in fome
meafure, perhaps, prove acceptable to
fome of you. Nothing but an emana-
tion of gratitude; io return for the
agreeable evening fpcnt among you,
induced me to rrooble you with this.
I am an utter flranger to the Rev. Dr.
Vincent; and have no acquaintance
with any of you, your relations, or
friends.
To conclude, if it flrall pleafe the
Supreme Being to with*hoId Atropoe

YOUR Magazine falls fo feldom in-
to my way, that I might hav» re-
mained many months ignorant of yoitn
queftion about black and white coats,
and the confequent lucubrations of
Anti-Therfites * on my conduA. Ac<*
cidentaL converfation lately informed
me, that you had dedicated three co-
lumns to the old flory of tbe moek irial
at Cambridge. Curiofity naturally led
me to look. into your Repofitory \ and^

as T find t^at your oorrcfpondeot has at<
Uckcd me upon a fuppolition that I wis
the author of the letter figned W. f .
vol. LXVI. p. 1005^ I muil requeft
you toinfenwt io your next Magi*
ziiiCy to ihew that petulant gentlemjui
'on what trifling ground he reds his
inalif!oiry. I folemnly aflfure you,
that I was not the writer of that letter ;
aad that I never heard of, nor (aW, the
letter, till, after hating read tine re-
marks of Antt-Theriitei, 1 was indu-
ced 10 refer to ir. I leave you to judge
with what fbirit Anti-Therfites wrote,
when he took fuch anoccaiion to actick
me, not fcrupling to lay to my account
a thing of wnteh I was totally ignorant.
But I nave been fo accuflomed to this
mode of treatment from the Cabal in
Cambridge, that it novvceafes to make
' upon me any impreHiun.
With refpe^ ro t,he Arcadians, the
nature of my defence at Cambridge,
and my contempt of the Cubicjcs, 1
ihall fay nothing, becaufe my fcnti-
ments are fully explained in the two
pamphlets on the Proceedings in the
Unirerfity, and Appeal to the Court of
Sing's-bench, pubhihed by myfelf, and
BOW to be hid. at Robinfons, Pater-
noflerorow. But, as Anti-Tbeifitea
refers his riaders xo my pamphlet,
'* Peace and Union,** to be had at the
fame bookfeller's, I do the fame ;
wifhing them only to confidcr, that a
happy change has taken pUce in pub-
lic opinion Hncc the firft appearance of
that pamphlet; and that the rcforovf,
recommended in it, will not now be
deemed fufficient by us, whom' Mr.
Burke is pleafed to call the 80. coo iu-
coirigibles. I rejoice in thinking, that
he has neither mis-ftated our numbers,
nor denied the firmnefs of our fpirit :
and, as the (yftem of tfp'to^cgt ana
alarm is daily loiing its influence, I
have not the Icaft doubt, that the pure
love of the Conflitution will return to
the breads of many of our mifguided
countrymen ^ that they will unite with
us in deteftiog corruption and fa^ion ;
and that, by our mutual, prudent^
^adual, and irreiiftible, efforts, thefa-
crcd caufc in which we are engaged
win triumph over all its enemies.
As to the (jueltion on black »i)d
white coats, it is almoft too ridicubus
a fubjed to employ a moipent's difcuf-
iioo. Independent men wear what
cloth they like ; and I fliatl never
ouarrel with a man about the cut of hit
peard. He muft be i^ea( finiiicr to
both Univerfities, who does not know
fome perfoBS, who, after wearing the
black uniform, and being engaged a few
campaigns, 'have (juitted the I'ervice.

Aty of Cambridge, four of whom are
fenior, and one junior, to mvfelf ;' and
of them, two, if not three, were Fel-

which tinged the coat was evaporated^
the colour was naturally changed.
YourCorrefpondent hints, that, be-
caufe I have been fo much perfecutcd

come a perfecutor. Time niooe can
rel'olve the queftion : hut he is very

Gatgacus had, immediately bc»

they had been hitherto prekrved from
invafioD merely by having lived in a
corner of the world, in a retired
pjrt, QUI of the reach of fame. Now,
however, fays he, this cauTe of ftifety
is ai an end : they have obtained know-
ledge of the very boundary of ouc

racdiately referred to the palf^ge al-
luded ^o, and am h;<ppy in being able
CO give him an explanation, which I
hope «ilJ prove fattsfa^ory.
Nothing can be mure icgular than
the whoU riain of reafoning which
Galgacus addrtlfes to the Britooi. He
begins with obfervlog, thac he enter-
ta ns the greatefi hopes of luccefs
from the eatremc danger of their fitn-
aiion, %vhich muft make even cowards
brave. In former CDgagexncnxs, the
N.itioahad refuurces of hrpe iu them;
for, p'nced »n thie in mod receflts of
Bricatn, not even their eyes had been
p<Jluted by the fif^ht of fervile Ibores.
At the farthcft limirs both of land and
liberty, they had been hitherto defend-
ed by fame and the lemctenefs.of their
fiiuation ; but now tirminus BritMunia

(omnt fgm§tumfr9 magaiji.oifl), which*
the.r own fenles would iiiimediaiely
tell them* operates very powertullf up-
nn the hum.^n mind, and demondrates,
by a variety of arguments, that the
Rom^ni are inordinately actuated by
its impulfc; and that therefore they
(ihe Btitons) had no alrcrnative but
reHftance or ruin.
The fuppoGiion of Philo-Tac:tu»«
that Agriiula mi{«ht not know that m
la:ge tra£^ of country lay beyond the
Grampian hills, is evidently froundr
lefs ; fioce we are informed by Tacitus
h'mfcif, that the Romans, who, before
the ia/l battle, were very cautious and
prgdeut, weic, a/ttr that baiUty im-
patient to prneirate into the very heart
of C*ie^onia, and to moi^e rni hjf m

iince I made this controverfy the ftib-

Glynn has flu'iun all the Ab(>vc.mcQ-

dean of Ely, Dr. Famer, Mr. Bry-
anty the late Dean of Eicier, and many
other literary and mod rcfpc£idble
chara£lers in ih« Univerlity of Cam-

Giynn, after fo peremptory a dial-

.his anfweit to them, /i// withheld tins
correfpondence from the public eye,
and himfelf keep a guarded fiicnce,
under circnmltances which (o parti-
cularly call upon the Doctor to fpeak
out; for Df. G. well knows, and has
.been told, rhac lord Otford had ^f'ai
in his eye, when he hinted the proba-
bility ** that, afcer hi& death, fome
preuaded answers to thefe letters
vrould be produced h^ fnnebody^ and

£Blf no way luterefted in this contio*

The Dr. cannot forger, even now,
huwcYer advanced in ye%rs, who it
was that made thefe and (imilar perti*

You mut) excufe me, Mr. Urban,
for having dated the cal'e To plainly
and broadly ; but it is high time that
the veil^ fbould be removed entirety
from this correfpondence, and the ex-
idence of it conhimcd, or mod clearly
difallowed. Every liit e incidental
circumdance, that mav operate in the
determination of the Rawleian cuntro-
verfy fliould be knowoitxiimined, and
permuted to have its proper weight in
the fcdle of decifion. I^otd Orford
has holdly denied his tvn bttving fiim
tboff Utttrs of Chattenun ( repot icd by
Mr. Banetr) ; has podtively and pub-
licly denied the receiving of them,
and bis writing any anfwers to them.
Dr. G. has fitquently aderted the
contrary I though not, indeed, fo pub*
licly, yet ixt droagty and as uniformly.
1 fhall not fay more than the truth, if
the Do£ior has not declared both the
letters and the anfwers to be in his
own cava keiping^ Here then we corne
to the idue ; let it be diort, but let it,
in God's name, be clear, convincing,
and decidve.
I do not ever cxpeft to hear or rcail
a recantation from Lord Orford •, but

that the Dr. will, m a few words, ei-

The Earl of Radnor took theufgal
oaths on his firft comine to the Houfe
Ciice the meeting of the NewPail'Bfnent.
In the Comment the fame day, a
new writ was ordered for Hif^ham
Ferrars, in the room of Mr. Serjeant
Admir, who has accepted the office of
Chief Juftice of Chetter.
The Spgaktr infoimed the Houfe,
that Alexander Morris, whom the
Chairman of the Committee on the
Soutbwark £le£lion |>etition had mo^ed
to be taken into cuftody, was now in
the cuftody of the Seijcant at Arms s
upqn which.
The Ms/ltr $ftbt Mb moved, that
the faid Alexander Morris do Aand
committed ; and that, on Monday next,
he be brought to the bar of the Houfe.
^Agreed to.
Mr. C«/(/, purfuant to the notice he
had given, rofe to mnke his'motion for
leave to bring in a Bill for regulating
the Trials of Caufes and Indictments
that arife within the limits of certain
towns»corporate in this kiDi;dam. The
bbJcA of this Bill was merely ;(i leave
jt at the option of the parries who had
caufes to try, to have them tned in
dieir own di^rLds» or take them to be
tried in the county at large : for, it was
not now as of old, when caufes were
tried by neighbours, .and as it were
at home, without any oblUu^ion ari-
fing to the courfe of juRice. Many
abufcs 'had crept in by time, which
rendered the obtaining of juftice in
this manner frequently impradicable.
Por thefe he referred to the towns of
Pool and of Hull. Thofe alio who
Hood accufed of felony might aifo, in
order to obtain a fair trial, get rcmo*
▼edy by their Habeas Corpus, to the
county gaol. His wifli was, t'herefore,
to introduce a gentler courfe of )uftice,
and not to abridge the jurifdi£kion of
thefe towns.— >In that view, he would
now move, as above^ *' that leave be
given," &c.
Mr. Li Ftvre feconded the motion ;
which was agreed to, and a Conimittee
arpoinced to prepare the B.ll.

The ftrong dife:ife within his breaft
Clang mofid the fprings of life ;
There, harpy-like, ir kept its holdy

And held him down to death.

Nor could the hope which iirnird in him

Each day (he fiw grim Death approach.
And bend him to tKe t6mb ;
Each day new hope (VnilM fre(h on him.
And hid the coming doom. *
No child had ftie to comfoyt her.
When Donald he is gone;.
Pale Sorrow fat her ct\eeks upon.
Her foul as dull as ftboe.
At length the fatal day is come.
For, nought could Donald f^ve;
He's gone! he's gonel he's dfAd and
gone I
And lies in yonder grave t \
Where (he alone, all drown'd in tean^

made a fuaden attack upon the lire of cOn-
trava!lati6r, and» after an adioa than
which nothiiiR could pbliihljr be more
fevf.re, was driven back into his works
with very great loft. The enemy havings
iu the coiirfe of the night from the aift
to flic lid, Virmight «ycr a lirge*hody of
troops Yrom Str:t(bui5h| foimed his co-
lumn oT ailnck cl<»fe behind tlie chnin of
his advanced po^s, witli fo much filence
tlot they were not percHveil. Juft hefore
t^e break oif day (which however was
renderrd extremely ohfcure by a veiy
thick mii^, that laAed the greater part of
the forenoon) thefe columns hegnn to ad-
vance. The inftaat the Audrian vi^lettes
and centries give their fire, whidi was
the only notice of the appro;4ching attack,
the enemy's inCaniry rufhed on with the
utmoft impetuofity, without firing a (hot,
and in an inftant thry were maflers of
rwo redoubts on the left of the firft line..
The vilbge of Sundheim was attacked in
the (ame manner, and with equA fnccefs;
after which, cnm*ng in the rear of the
curuin which coiineiflK the village with
the firfl redoubt to its kft, the enemy
immediatefy carried the work, one face
of which was not quite fini(bed. Upon
.this, large boUies of their infantry rulhed
through tiie openings in the curtains on the
left front of this wiiig 1 and, whiUl part
advanced againfl the fecond linCf the others
endeavoured to make dierofelves maders
bf the i-emaining redoubts of the firft ;
but thefe, though perfectly left to them-
felves for a confuierable time, entirely
furrounded, cut otf from every nOiilance,
ah 1 attacked with fury b) the enemy, who
fre {uently got into the ditclies, and at-
tempted to climb the par;' pet, were de-
fended in a manner that iefle£\s the
liigheft honour on tlie oflicers and tionps
that were in them- — The lofs in all iliefe
tedottbtswas confideraHle, and in t)re the
artillery -men were ob'igtd to fire^ the
guns, but all the attacks were lepulfed.
The enemy's right column, atter occupy-
ing the two works which they hiid car-
ried, puihed on between the lakes to
attack the left of the fccond line; but
Prince Frederick of Orange (whofe gal-
lant and judicious condu^ cannot iuf-
ficiently be praifed) having rallied his
brigade, placed a part of his infantry be-
hind the dyke, which coniie£i& the thnl
redoubt fiom the left of the HvA line
with the worK which is on the left of
the fecoivl ; and in this fltnation he i-e-
f;(led the moft fevcre attack that can be
imagined n|K)n his front : vwhilc ihote
b>'>d cs of the enemy's infantry, which
tiad pierced between the redoubt of thd
firfl hiYe, were actually in his reir, he
o*i ufity maintained his poft^. but
ciMhpletely cbeck«>d the teneifiys prbsereb
on this flank. A great part of the iroops
of the Ir-ft wing liad been working in th«
trenohes on the right of tlie Kinzig. Ge-
neral La Tour, who commands the army
of tlM fiege, formed three of theft bat-
talionsy which happened to be jitd retnrn-
ing from work, aiid retook the village of
Sundheim, which he maintained, thoogh
the eoemy made great efforts to di^ndc^c
him. Livut. Gen. Staader, who com-
mands tlie left wing, drove hack the fcno-
my, who had advano^d againft the right
of the fecoml line of it, and ratook Uio
redoubt on tiie lefc of Sundheim ) and tlie
Prince of 0> ange, advancing betwe^-n the
two dykes, defviited the column with which
he had been fo feverely engaged* and
recovered the redoubts it had carriej.
The enemy tliea retired into his en-
trenched camp. The lofs of the Auf-
trians amonotod to 45 officers, and about
t200 men, kille>U wounded, and mitling»
which, confidering that not more than
half the left wing was engaged, is cer-
tainly confiderable { hut that of the French*
moft have been much greater. The
ground round the works was in fomo
parts covered with tl»eir deid bodies, and
I am very much witiiin hounds in ftating
their lofs at 2000 men. During the time
the French were in poflenfion of the re-
doubts on the left, they f^>und means to
carry off Ave pieces of cannon. The others
were all re-t;tken. It is impolTihkt to
attempt to do jullice to the conduct of
the Archduke ; he animated the troops
in retaking Sundheim, direAed the at-
tacks on the work th.it h.id been loft t#
the left of it, and, undttr tlie heavieft fire,
gave hi!i orders with the greateft cooln«<S|
and tl e nioft perfeA military knowle^lge.
Litrut. Proby, of his Majcfty's 9th regi-
ment of Foot, (attached to Lieut -Col.

woulii^mmediately order the North Devon

Uiat in four hours I fbuoil every oflicer and

Qentlemaris Magazine :
For MARCH, 1797.
BEING THE THIRD NUMBER OF VOL. LXVH.' PART I.
Mr. Urban, DuSiiw, March 15.
^ifl^tf^^ S in the courfe of the
^ ^ ^^^^ month the return
v5 A ^ °^ miny of our migra-
7»v ^ y*\ lory birds may be ex-
78^ $ft pcfleci, iHow me to
)e()J^^)f^)j^ recall the artenrion of
vour readers to this
inrercning fubjcft ; defuing they w:ll
carefully Qhferve, whcj^her aoy Swal*
lows* appear without the long ^athcri
which form their forked tails ; for, as
it has been afceitained that the laft
bnods, at ieift, in every Summer leave
us before they have attained this dif-
€iDdioQj if any appear in Spring with-
out them, fuch may be luppofed to
have pafTed the Winter in a torpid flate.
Le( me now communicate a very ex-
traordinary phxnomcnon concerning
soother race of birds of paifage, the
Cuckows, which occurred )a(l Summer
id the North of Ireland. The follow-
ing particulars may be depended on.
In a gentleman's^ garden in the couniy
of Dowoe (lat. 5*. »3' N.) appeared for
feveral days (vix. from the i8ih to the
2 ad of July, 1796^ a great number of
Cuckbwi, judjge^i ta he between forty
liiid 6fty at ieaft. They ufually ftt
upon the buflies, picking, as the gar-
dentr thought, the ripe goo{ct)errtes
(but more probably the caterpillars and
fofcfts f on ihofc flirubs). They
fee'med to he quite fleepy and dozing {,
fo as to permit any perfon aimoll to
touch them, though I do not 6nd that
*• See an elegant Odo in p. 235. Edit.
t Like otber birds, that feed chiefly on
infe^ the Cuckow is in Italy eaten as a
^reat delicacy. A gentleman, who has
had this bird on his tabje, informed the
writer, that the flefh is white, aiul very
well cafted. Having no incubation, Sec*
to perform, it is never out of feafon during
the Spring months ; and, from die abun-
dance of its food, is extremely fat.
{ See, in vol. LXVI. p. 116. what Mr. J.
Lalkey oommun^cated concerning the iuoc
lA the Swallows. ^DIT*
any oir aAually (utfcrcd itfelf.to b«
caught. There wa<; in the gardeo a
ned of young b-ack-l)irHs, fcarc^y
fledged : of thcfe the Cuckows dtftrov«
ti ail but two ; and they were feen to
tear them to pieces, a^ was judgtd, to
devour them ; for, the gardener rcfciicd
one of thefe from'xheir talons, which
had \\y$ Ug and wing t<->rn off. Some
few of them, .perhaps not more than
two or three, cried the note CucKOW,
ai in Spring, but in a very faint and
ho^rfe manner. N»r weie more than
two ever )ieard at the fariic time. ,This
gaidcn, which contains two acres of
Irifli planutioQ meafure (that is, more
than three Englijb ftatute acre^), was
frequented by mar.y of thefe birds du-
ring the whple day; but the greateft
number colle£led in the evening, abouit
the time the gardeners were quitdog
their work. After the aid of July te*
mained 00 1 v pnc pr two, which appear-
ed to be Tmaller than tfte reft; and '
thefe continued there two cr three days
after all the 'othfcVl wete gone. The
leffer Uiids yi^ere u6ferv);d to fliy about
them, an4 ifteir them, as in the Spring.
The piece'dioj^ account comes froni a
perfon of undoubted veracity. ' *

Mr. UifiAN» Mfch 9« ^
IN voLLXVL p. 1077, Q^P- f*yf;
'* it feems truly* llrange that it (hould
be neceflary to call on the Goveroc'Ft of
Queen Anne's Bounty for a Hate o{:
that charity." 1 can tell him fomething.
ftitl more fl range : one of my churchca .
has a double bounty ; bmt it is lb iif
from being at the expcnce of the fund,.
^ tlat, ever lincc the augmentation, the.
fund itfclf has been thgtgby augBicnted.
The cafe is this : 4||^ ^'^'^ yean
ago the bounty was purcmi^ ;. in con*
fcquence of which the goUernors sipj^ro*
piiaied 400 1. for which tMby pay co-thc
cl.urch ycitrly 2 I. p^r tint. Now, Mr«
U(baA,ifthe20ol. inHeadof purchaftog
t84 ^^^'oiis and unpteajfanf OperattoA of ^een Anne*8 Bounty. [Mrf;
received, for more than 30 years pail,
an augmentation of toi. pir annum i
fo thai, when tkcfc wiflied-for accounts
app.ar before the publick, they will
exhibit rlc articie of 81. ptr annum,
paid to the ch'.rch of S ; whilU the
fa£t rcaliv is, ibat the fund itfelf has
f6r fo many yrars been augmented by a
llfih part of ihatinier.ft, the whole of
iwhficii w«s intenckd by the donor for
the ufc of the mintHer.
It will be (aid, that this is the fault
of the incumhetit himfclf : for I well
]cnow, that the leafbn held out by the
governor? fot allowing oh'\ 2I. per e/nt.
is» that the irc"m'<em ihould be mt^re
arfiiduotis in look>rg ont for apurchaic.
To this lean only fav, that, whatcvtr
may have been the fact- sty of finding a
purchafc foimerly, or however rfiv pic-
dectlT^r, who was a boolcifli man, nnd
not unknown in the literary \rorU%
inight have negU£)cil to do fo, the va-
lue of land if in thefe days fo well un-
<Iei(lond, dvd fmal) purchafes are fo
cageily fought after nnd fo fpecdily
caught up tn \c a miniAer mufl he Ibarp
indeed, as \ve1l as pretty knowing in this
kind of traffic (fo far umoved from the *
line of his pr«»icn*Yor.a) dutie!>), Co meet
with a purchafr likelv to he approved (»fj
I fay likely, hcriu'c, Dotwiioftanding
thccivilitv and ; T'ciiion which yourccr-
rcfpondcnt (i XVI. 108S.) had, upon
lomc other occaM''>n, the ^ojd fortune to
meet wifh i the cufp;>la:flts mcnt oned
(p. S36.) are too well founded to adir.it
,ef a que Dion.
For my own part Mr. Uiban, T nc*
ver had, except cnce, even ihe ibadow
..of a chance, which 1 thought w ^uld be
•f any fer?keto the church ; and then
•the owner of tb« land (a gentleman
^converfant in the law) plainly told me,
it was a roaitcr actecded with fo much
trouble to treat with the govemo's of
the Queen's bounty, that he would have
nothing to no with ihem. To this I
could fay but little ; for, I had too fre-
quently lM:ard complaints ot a like na-
ture J and more- ver, I had myfclf, at
the requell ot a neighbouring clergy-
man, once waited upon their then fcli*
citor, at his chambers in the Temple,
about a puichim' but was treated in
fuch a fut)ereilious, cavalier manner,
that I hardly know whether I fhoiild
have had cc'Urage to have appeared be*
fore this great man the fecond time.
How long it may be until all the fmall
livings are augmented to 50 1. pgr ann*
I know HOC) but ic is fomewhat unfoc*
toiiate, that of my thr^e churches, cack
of which is flill entitled to the bounty,
notwithdanding the Ibfing purchafc a-
bovemcntioned. it fliould not have fal-
len to the lot of any one of them to \)t
augmented in the urdinarv way, though
almoft a century hai elapfcd fince the
fund was Br(V eftablifiied.
T'^ the ihort but curious fpecimen
of a dialogue between a patron and his
cletk (p. S26) I will add what I know
to be a£^ually true* There are in-
ftances, and it is to be feared not a
few, where the grea^ proprietor of the
parifli opei^ly a«d avowedly ufes hi6
power to keep down the value of the
lithcy not for the eafe of his tenants,
but for his own benefit. In fuch cafes,
a poor incumbent can do but little $
but, if the governors of the queen's
bounty would take the trouble of look-
ing into endowments, fuch at lead as
might be prefented to them for that
pu pofe, and interpofe where they
thought it was right fo to do, they
would, perhaps, do more for the fmall
livings in twenty years than, in the'
ufu^l way of augmenttttioD, they could
patfiblv accompliih in a hundred.
Yours, &c. ViCARiCs.

For my own purt Mr. Utban, T nc*
ver had» except once, even ihe Ihadow
.of a chance, whivh 1 th.'ught w uld be
•f any fervice to the church ; and then
the owner of the land (a gentleman
iConverfant in the law) plainly told mc,
it was a matter auecdcd with fo much
trouble to t-reat with tl>c governors of
the QMeetv's bounty, that he wouhl have
nothing to iio with them. To this I
could fav but little .- for, I had too fre*
quently licard complaints ot a like na-
tuie J and morci vuf, I had myfclf, at
the requell ot a neighbouring clergy-
man, once waited upon their then fcli*
citor, at his chambers in the Temple,
about a purchwir but was treated in
toiiate, that of my thr^e churches, tack
of which is flill entitled to the bounty,
notwithdanding the lofing purchafe a-
bovemcntioned. it fliould not have fal-
len to the lot of any one of them to he
augmented in the ordinary way, though
alinoft a century hai elapfcd fince the
fund was 6rlVciiablifiied.
To the ihort but cuHaus fpecimen
of a dialogue between a patron and his
clerk (p. S26) I will add what I know
to be actually true* There are in-
flances, and it is to he feared not a
few, where the grea^ proprietor of the
parifli opei^ly aiod avowedly ufes hi^
power to keep down the value of the
tithe, not for the eaTe of his tenants,
but for his own benefit. In fuch cafes,
a poor incumbent can do .but little $
but, if the governors of the queen's
bounty would take the trouble of look-
ing into endowments, fuch at lead as
might be prefented to them for that
pu pofe, and intcrpofe where they
thought it was right fo to do, they
would, perhaps, do more for the fmall
livings in twenty years than, in the
ufuil way of augmentmioD, they could
palfiblv accompliih in a hundred.

I HAVE lately purchafcd the valu-
able edition of Shakfpeare by Stee-
veni i I admire it much ; it is elegant-
ly and corrtdiv printed. Every lover
of our Englifli ^(chyius mufi feel
bimfclf under the greateft obligat^nus

light he ha^ (bed on innumerable
pafiages makes the old 'Bard fliine
with renovated lufire. He, however,
is confcious of the exuberance of
notes that are fiibjoined to this cdi*
tion ; for which he makes a very
proper apology. For two omifiiooe,
however, his apo'ojry is not fo fatit-
faAory ; the former deprives us of a
fenfible p^esfute, the other rcnde.s this
editicn incomplete. Though theie
can, perhaps, he no certain reliance
on the authenticity of any of the paint-
ioi^s or engravings of Shakfpeare ; and
Mr. Stcevcns thinks it abfurd to ** per-
petuate illufions;" yet every admirer
of him (omitting that gentleman) can-
not but receive pleafure- from contem-
plating thofe features which he fop-
pofes, at leafi, to be reprefmtatives of

Many years ago I vifited thit place
for the purpofe we are upon. There
Wat reafon to judge that his nocturnal
camp was in the prefent town, and
t^'here Brif^ad. Watkins's houfe Hands.
This houfe it in his camp ; the ditch
of the camp having been converted io«
to canals in hit garden, the dimenfioos
.properly correfponding, which gave
me a notion of it, being about 300
fiet OB a (ide.
Authors generally miftake in fancy-
ing that the great and operofe camp on
JSt. George's hitl, hard by, was Cae-
far's; that was a ftarionary camp; by
%vhom made I haye no concern at this
timt to enquire. But, far otherwife
was the Roman method on expeditions
mod marches. It is true, ihey made a
CAinp the very night ; fuch was theic
difcipline ; and with renfon. But this
camp was of Very fmall dimenfion, 2
or 300 feet onfy on a fide. It was
chiefly for ftate and regtilHrity. It
ynt 9l fr^tffrium, the head quarters of
the general ai^d a few chi«f oflficers ;
snd perhaps the fpoii was there lodged.
The Roman army lay around thi» p^4t-
iwrium ; they dtd not truft their fafety
to a few diowfy fentinels, but a thiid
part of their army lay under arrrs ;
and they always encamped upcn plains,
and open heatht, free fiom woods, to
prevent furprize.
I have met with many of Cselar's
nocturnal camps: fome were engraven
30 years ago, and unpiib!i(hed lor the
leafons abovemeniioncd.
It would have been an injudicious
raflineft in Caffar to have puthed his
pafTage over the Thanies at Coway
ilakcs, fo paltifadoed above and below
water, with relolute troops on the
other fide ; difad vantages' tiM> great for
Csfar's prudence. But the matter,
n\ofl abfolniely necciTaiy, mud be ac-
complifhed.
Therefore Caefar refo^ves to attempt
it fomewhat higher up the river. For
this purpofe he leaves a part of his ar»
my at the camp of Walton, ftietched
out in proper front, to make a (how of
his liay there \ jhe refl he leads over
the river Wye, and finds a very con-
venient place for his purpofe in the
meadow a little below where Chcrtfey

tion, and maturely confidered all cir-
cumHances, and durfl pronounce with
affurancr, that it was at this very place,
of which the great hero ibui writes :
^ He ordered the horfe to enter the
water, and the legionary rroops to fol-

condud of the French Emigrant Cler*

dour and iiberalitv, that they are the
more likely to make an impreffion on
the publick. It cannr<t be denied that
the admiflion of fo many French Ro-
man Catholicks into this kingdom is
one of the many ev4ls of the French
revolution; but, let it be remembered,
that this admitiioo was not alto^erher
matter of choice, but, in fome degree,
of oecefljtv. They w<Te thrown upon
our coafi, ^i it were, by the hand of
Gr>J, to itfcuc them from the cruel*
pcrfecuti<»n of ihtir mcrcilcfii country -
men : the manner in \vh*ch thty were
received, andin which they have bcj^n
ever fioce treated, is, I apprehend, the
chara^rriOic feature, the peculiar
glory, of our country i nimely, that,
notwiihftandmg the difference «n our

THOUGH you are in general ex-
tremely corred in yourflattmentSy
iret 1 obferved, in p. 137, that you
committed a fma|l error, which f wiih
you would corre£k, and alfo infert the
following hints which the fubj;6t has
fuggefted, and may not prove unac-
•eptable to iooie of your readers. You
were taking notice of a pamphlet on
'* the diflempLr in timber railed the
d^^y'Tot^ and remarked that the writer,
'* from dear-bought experience, had
found that hit houfe at Sunbury it
fubjc£t to damp in rainy feafons ;'*
adding that, *' as to the caufe and pre<^
ven:ion of it, he leaves us where he
found us." Now, Sir, if yoo will re-
cur to the pamphlet, you wilt fee that
the gentleman's houfe is iUted to be
on Sunbury CommoH, and, .1 have rea-
fon to think, is (ituatcd in a neigh-
bouring parifb, not lefs tb^n half a
mile diftaht from any houfe in the pa-
rilh of Sunbury. 1 never underftood
that the houfes here were particularly
liable to the dry-rot : on the contrary,
Sunbury is generally, an4 defervedlyi
allowed to be one of the mod dry and
falubrious,. a? well as one of the moll
beautiful, villages in tHe kingdom i
and what 1 am going to mention to
you ctpnoc be adduced as a proof to
the contrary. Some years ago a very
Beat vellry-room was built ; but, ow«
ing (as 1 (uppofe) to damp, and the
want of a proper circulation of air, in
five years the Boor was in many places
quite rotten j in the fpace of a week a
Xungus would grow as thick as an inch*
It was, therefore, neceflaty that fome
Heps ihould be taken to repair the ha«
vock which the dry-rot hnd comniit-
ted. It was highly recommended by
the vicar tp take up the door entirely,
and to pull down and remuve all that
was in the lead damaged and affefled ;
then to clear away all the damp rub-
biih underneath (he juil^s, fo that the
lead particle of th^ Iry-rot, which is
•f the n ture of fungufes, and fpreads
Gent. Mag. Mgub^ 1797,
like them, (houM not remaio. All
this was done. Pains were alio takea*
to dry the room by lifthtine Bres ami
opening the window. ' When the
frround underneath W is quite dry, the
joiHs* &c. were thoroughly cleinfedy
WMfhed, and rubbed, with hot lime
and ^ater. The floor was raifed about
th'ee inches; two holes,, of about three
inches diameter, were perforated thro*
the wall under the joiils, and two
holes, ,oF the fame, fize, under the
door, with a view of having a prpper
communication with the external air.
A board of four or five feet long is net-
nailed to the joiAs, and is only occa"
fionaily put down. This is left opta
to hicreafe the dryneft of the ground
under the veP.ry-room, and with aA
idea that the dry-rot originates from
damp and a fttgnatton of air* I muft.
here mention what feems to be another
great caufe of the prevalence of dry*
rot; and that is, the too frequent
cuftom of ufiog preen and unfeafoned
wood before the fap be properly' dried*
This produces a greit degree of humi-*^
dity, and, nodoulK, frequently occafiont
the dry rot. When the caufcs of a^
diforder are once known, it is jpuch
eafier to find out a proper remedy. I
can, however, afifure you, Mr. Urban^
that hitherto no fymptoms of it have
appeared, and that the ground under*
neath it is as dry as the room in wbicli
I am (itting ; and i wi(h to give you
this information, that fimilar fitua*
tions, and that inhabited houfes where
the ravages of the dry-rot are felt, may
derive benefit from the experiment
which' has been tried at Sunbury, and
feems likdy to have fucceeded*

The fyflem of animal life, whether
lium^n or beflial, is fubjed to difeafes
which are in both fpeciet 00c unlike.
Refcirchef intotbc hiftory of m^okiad
prove \n ut, that prevAJeMC or epidemic
difeciiei have pot only raged araonir
the human race, but amoog brutes ;
and, about the year 1749, the rflfeCls
of it among cnttle weic very alarming
to mod pant of Europe at well »s
England. There was ao account that
not long Ago many bead of drer in
Windfur Park were quickly deAroyed
by fome contagious illnefs ; and fuch
was the piec uton, thar not even their
fk ns were f^flfcrcd to be fared, but all
was buried with them.
The car, wiiofe nine lives are a. pro-
verb, is a recenr inflance of the ravage
of infefiinn.— We are told within ihts
few weeks, th^c mnny thdufands in
London have died. The attatk of th'S
malady^ and its termination, «*re equally
fuddeo, as they are commoiiiy dead in
12' hours; if they hold longer, they
generally recover. Its ravages, we
are told, are more cosEncd coche aged,
ill;feJ, and ill- fated pufs, whofe pro-
vince is Co prefide over barns, work-
houfes, and celtats, than to the pam-
pered and Oall-fed tabby, whofe
" Tray is^o the Hare prefcr*d."
And cxher efcapes the blig^Ut, or is
only viiited with a rigour, or as the
Jtrarned may term it, the E/btmera

The human and brute creation
equally have acute or general, and
cbronic or local, aff«£liofiS ; and, we
are told, are both cured by the fame
me(h«d of treritmeot, confident with
the neceflary regimen \ with this dit-
ference, that the eSe6ii of remedies,
and ot operations, is more certain in
the teiminatiuo, ,aod lefs perilous in
the quadru|^ed, than in the human body.
Cumparative anatomy informs us^
that in brutes are not wantmg a la>ge
diftribution even of mrviSt the i'ejit of
human fenfation; yet the bencHccnt Au-
thor of their exigence permits not them
to feel as men do, or clfe the efifc^ts of

Thefe reflexions were introduced by
reading, in a country paper, that " a

fvvoilcn by feeding too grced'ij^ on K^y,
wds opened by a farrier, who cook out
of her body two bulhels of undigei^ed

did ibon recover." However extrapr*
dinary thit may fetm, f do certai^lf
think it is a i^Bt which oivght (o b!|^
more geneially known.
I .am informed this difeafe is very
frequently fatal on the befl grazing
land. The cutc of it by pun£)uie and
incifion has been recommended for
many years : and, in your vol. XXXIV*
p. 518, this mode of treitment is re-
commended and defcribed :
'*- A bullock that wa3 hoved by eating
clover was faved by making an iocifion,
about an incn long, through the hide, be-
tu'een the ribs and pin* bone, on the near*
fiile, about three inches from the ribs, and
the fame f ttim the bones of the loin ; and
.inother with the utmoft caution, that it
might only enter the cavity of the belly
witlMjnt huniitg the inteftines. A vaft
quantity of air, very fostid, rufhed out,
and the fweilin^j; went do ^ n. The'woimd
in the hide was fectfre'l wiih a iieeJk Ihnd
thi-ead, .and a plaAer was applied to. keep
it from liie air j the beaft was put into a
w«trm houfe next day to eat (bmc oats and
hay; and in a werk the wonnd was healed,
and he was turned out with other cattle.
He did not recover in fome weeks j but at
lad was as nne a fteer as any in the herd.*'
I have much reafoo to lament tha
lofs of a paper on this fubjefl, which
was wri ten four years ago by a learned
gentleman in the country, whom firH
I had the happinefs to kno^v perfonally

muft, therefore, be conGdered a^ a
proper fubje^l for taxation, if a duty
qould be liid without impairing the re-
venue, or g.vmti enrojra^einent to the
(mujzgUr. With rv(pe£^ to its bcanni(
on the poor, he h;id to remark, toat
they generally ufu'd teas of co^rftr and
inftrfor quality ; but thei'e teas he m-
tended to exempt, and (o lay the duty
only on teas above 2). per lb. (Tale

It would give Ititle encouragement to
the fmuggier, whole capital had been
«yithdrawn, aud his attention diverted
from that trade. There were other
circumflantcs ll<ongIy againft the fup-

fmuggled to the co.ift, where they
were mjftiv ufed. The war at pre-

This t^'X he cilculated to produce

was ** duty on cocoa and coffee. Thia

found that fpirits were too cheap. It
W.1S his intention to treble the latter
duty, hut without' extending it to the
ciple the iuftice of which rnuf^ be al*
lowed. The fubjed profited mncli
from the care of governmrnt in .the
conveyance of perfont, parcels, and
letters. It was but equitable that he
(bould be ca led on to repsy fome part
of this profit. On the fubje^ of let«
ters, what he had to propofe wis
chieflv a modification. At prefenc
they were rated by flages, under chc
diftance of 80 miles ; and thence ^o
150 there was no interral. His objeft
was to make them pay according to
th:: diiUnce reckoned by more minute
Hi^landi. The efiinr««ted amount of fubdiviiinn. Healfn propofed to make
this tax was no lefs than 300,090!. If
it fell ihort of this fum, it would be
by operating advaniageoufly the difufe
of fpirits, and iccicrafing thereby the
duty on mair, Itc. The total ot thefe
taxes, coile£^cd under the Excife, he
reckoned at 856.0001. He next rcfort-
ed to the Cuiioins. The n^ft article
which he there fugireded as an obje£t
of taxation was that of Sugar. This,
he admitted, would bear in fome de-i

article in. general ule, iC would fall
but tigbtTy on the individuaL The
duty was to be no more than as. 6d.

an addition of one penny on eve^y
three- pence payable on each letter put
into any poft.ofiice. This he cal-
culated would bring in no lefs than
250,0001. Under this head came ae
additional duty on ftagc-coachesi
which, being exempted from the bocfe
duty, tbcy coulJ very well afford 'to
pay. The duty he ptopofed was one
penny per mile additional, and the
produce he rated at 6e,ooo'. Of a (i-

he calculated to produce 140,000!. To
the tax on houfes he hid altu to offer
an addition, which, under certain re-
gulations, he thought would be both
produ^ive and practicable. Tbe re«
gulation was, that no man ihou'.d pay
tor a large manfion houfe, tor in-
fiance, rf it did not appear that he
kept an adequate number of fcvants ;
and the tax, in that cafe, (hould be
propoiti^jully reduced. This, be ie*
tage to the fender as would full? com-
penfate the duty. This tax he alfo
took at 6o,oool. On the fame princi-
ple he would alfo propofe a duty oa
the conveyance of goods by internal
navigation. The great increafe of ca«
nals, and the profits derived from
them, he was warranted cb (ay, would
fully juftity this inipoft, and particu-
larly when it w^a underftood that the
duty which he intended' to lay would
amount to no tnu're than one eighth of
the to I. This tai he calculated at
2 4o,coot. The total of tbefe dutiea
would amount to 1,152,0001. or

with the Pltut of an InfiitutiM to remedy the
£vil, and for the Pur^fe ofincitafing fmall

Wright, of Mark-lane.
MR. W. mentions a fj»rm of 160
acrcf , which he was at U(l year ;
the ftoek was %o (keep, 5 cows, %
calves, *7 hogs and pigs, 70 fowls,
%i ducks; in all, 207, bcfides a num-
b«r of pigeons: and from this farm the
inirkcts had been occafionilly fupplicd,
altnofi weekly, during the ecu r ft of
the year. CalcuUtiog the (lock which
ought to have been, and probably
would Have 4)ecn, on the 24 farms
which, in the pariihes of Sawbridge-
worth. Much Hadham, and Stockcn
Pelham, in Hertfordfliire, three wealthy
farmers have mono|X)lizcd within a few
years, on each of which 24 was a houi'e,
yard, barns, &c. wc (hall find a lofs of
l\ock to the community of 4447 i(food
for a vaft number of pcrfons!) inde-
pendent of what they might have fup-
plied the market with. Mr. W. pro-
pofcs the eftabliibment of a fociccy,
whofe members will fubfcribe a certain
number of hundred- pound fliares, for
the purpofe of piircliaiing large c Rates,
and dividing them into (mall farms, to
be let on Icafc, or othcrwife, or letting
them» under certain reftriflions, to fuch
Imall farmers as might be inclined to
purchafe, which, he doubts not, would
be many, to fettle their fons on ; and
thus, amone other advantages, popula-
tion would be kept up.

Common- Fteld Lafkis, particuJarh as it
affeas the Church and Poor, In a Letter
to the hofd Bijhof of Lincoln. By a Cler^
fryman of that Diocefe. (Continued from
THE writer goes back to the time
of King Beliou* tor arguments againtl

intcrert, and to the poor j antf^dates
the iocreafe of pa(\ure.Und frdm the
Oiflbiuiion, which yet had not the de-
iVrcd efftft of lowering the price of
wool or mutton. He is of opinion,
that the quantity of flicep.fed in inclo-
fures is ci>nfidcrably Itfs, and the qua-
lity of their wool inferior to thofc bred
on commons; and their numbers are
defignedly reduced, left they ihould in-

to produce corn fuffident co fupply the
inhabitants of iu principal town with
bread ; and, fliottid all the opeo fields
in Che kingdom be applied at above,
we may be threatened with a famine"
(p. 17). Converting the land to paf-
ture diminiflKs the yearly fruits of the
earth and the people. Roads, and the
fubclivi(fon-fences, while the pofts and
rails remain, occa(ion a much greater
defalcation ;, as eveiy lineal mile of
fuch fencing occupies 1 atre % roods of
ground. The corn under the hedges
of (mall fields is hurt; the ufe of oak
for fences creates a fcarcity of bark.j
the diflTerent mode of bufl)andry ledens
the quantity of oats, beans, and peafe,
and IS one caufe of the advanced price
of pork. Of the inconveniences re-
fulting to the clergy from the allot-
ment of land to them in lieu of tithes,
we have feveral ferious iaiflances. If
advantage is not taken of non-refidence
to tncl<?e, it ocra(ions non-refidence,
and lowers the original value of livings.
The argument againft a corn-rent is
this terrible one,-* that the price oF
corn is fixed by the rent for 20 years.
Land frequently finks beyond all pro-
portion to grain, particularly in new
inclofurcs, which is (hewn by fome la-
mentable inftances. A late moft reve*
rend prelate was curious enough to
confuit the records of the exchequer,
and had the fatisfa£tion to find, that, of
709 tithe-caufes, upwards of 6oo were
determined in favour of the clergy ; a
convincing proof that, in thefe con-
tefls, the clergy are right fix times
out of feven, and are not fo Ittigiout
and oppreflivc as fome would reprefent
them i but are compelled to appeal to
the laws of their country, to rccovtr
their jufi dues, or fubniit to be de-
frauded of them. If avaricious men
will inclofe, let them leave the tithes
inviolate, as was done in ;he environs
of London, the counties of Kent, £f-
lex, and Middlefex. — We cannot help
thinking there is much good fenfe and
lair evidence in this letter.

wich icfpeft to himleff, will for ever
attcll ihe inrmuBting and artful dupli*
city of the Frtnch Conrention and their
congenial initromentt. In Tain docs
the' French citizen ot legation fee forth
the honcfty of bit Government, that
" the French Republick purcbafi no
men to cl«» their duty" (p. 55). They
have other arts to work by ; and what
they are fufficiently appears ftom the
intercepted difpatch. The late Ameri-
can (rcretary has itnbibfd their princi-
ples, and arraigns the want of candour
and friendfliip in the prelidcnt, whom
he charges with being poifoned with
falfehoods by the Britilh pariifans.
Here, however, it feems, Mr.K. rather
begins to fail in candour and temper,
and his defence to lufe it» tft'e^. The
butinef^ changes its face from a confpi-
lacyaeainD the liberties of his countiy
to a plot againf^ himf'ifi ^^Imufi be
facrificed" (p. 68). •• It being known
that 1 fliould renew, in the debate upon
the treaty, every undiilcmbled protefla*
tion againtt a rupture uiiii France, it
was too admit able an oppuitunity, for
culUng a few a:oms of tcliimonv of
French influence over me, to be loll by
an untimely difcovrry of the letter,
which, he lavs, the PrcBilent kept by
him for a whole week, and Mr. Wol-
cotr, who 6r() received it, for a week
before that."
Mr. R. preferves an unrefcrved par*
tiahty to France, and ufes no referve on
fentiiiicnts refpe£^ing Great Bii:ain,
her minilteis,or agents ; and retorts on
the prcfidcn: a fbte-tii^.k, to apologize
for his own cliange of principles^ and
inclining to ratify the treaty with Great
Britain on terms he had ib long and
peiemptoHly oppofcd ; in ftott, throw-
ing himfelf into the arms of Gieat Bri-
tain infVead of thofe of France. .All
this while, however, citizen Fauchet
appears to have been aihamed of th^
^ame be was pliying, and duping Mr.
2iecrctary t«> p'ay* He fncaktd ott un-
der colour of a fog, and outi>ript the
fwif^cA- failing vefld Mr.R. could lend
22 1
after him to detain 'him in order to
vindicate his innocence.
"That letter (fays Mr. R. to the
Prefident, p. 75) has been * greed iTy
clutched for thiee ohje^s — to infure
the ratification of^the treaty, to drive
me from ofHce, and to endeavoor to
dcftroy the Republicans in the United
State;. The firll is iccomplifted ; the
fecond is alio a6compIi(hed, and was
univerfally precipitated fince you were
acquainted with my determination to
refign at the beginning of the cnfuing
year ; the third can never be iccom*
phihed until the people ihall forget
their friends, and forfret truth." Pro-
ceeding to examine Mr. F's letter, the
fecretary confiders it at the cffeA: of
Mr. F's fpeculationi, labouring to
magnify to his Government his penc*
tration and (kill in ncgociation (p. 79}.
He denies every fuggeftion that Fau-
chet aiferts to' have received from him.
Dues it not feem, from all he fays^ that
the Prefident is the greater ttateiman of
the two }
The charges of French comiptiooy
which, it may be prcfomcd, arc con-
tained in the papers 3 and 6, which Mr.
R. comphios io heavily of , being de-
prived of, come next undar his exami-
nation. He anfwers them by a po6tfve-
denial, and fees up infurrc^ons exci*
ted and foroemtd by Britilh emilTaiiet
againd infurreflions excited and fo-
mented by French cmtfTaries. After
a long analy6ty in near 59 pages, of
Faochet's letter, Mr. R. proceeds to
appeal to the people of the United
States } who, he fays, *' have not com-
miited themfelves ; have no prejudices^
no antipathies^ no jealouGes, to be awa-
kened ; will follow couufellors who
will not and cannot deceive them ; will
aft for themfelves, and are not played
off bv others behind the fcene. They
will be able to repel the crifis which, I
fear, may ditturb our harmony with
France. But, without a farther enu-
meration of rrafons fur an ap^ieal to the
people, to whom elfe ou^^hc I to ap-
peal ? If the ivories which luve been
propagated be true, it is /^//Vhon.^ur
which has been wounded. If falfe, they,
alone can nuke teiiibution to me. Oa
them alone can I rely to diftingutih
truth from the management and exag«

to ratify during the exigence of the pi ovir

fion. Before, however, you were fcarcely
cool from the heat of your journey into
Virginia, the man who liad been anxioufly
inquired after, 00 your arrival hafiened to
ileliver a letter to you. Then the friend-

Adherent to anti-republican me;«fare8, and

ple; wild, having tlie name of being be-
friended by you, and having always viuiii-
cated your charaAer wlien unjudly aflhil-

ftroke from the arm of an elevated and re-
puted patron. You thought, alfp, thai,
froDi the agency I had had in tt-e treaty,
the people might keep aloof from rcniicr-
ing me juflice. Be this as k may, they
thall be informed of the truth. And I re-
peat, that I will not court the prejudices of
any man upon earth. I did, indeed, before
the proviiion-order was known, confidcr
you as bound to ratify, if the Senate (hould
advife you, becaufe your powers to Mr*
Tay did not feem to hive been exceeded.
1 was much influenced, alfo, by tliefe con-
^derations : i. That, if the peeple were ad-

were to bacard a war with France, by
concurring in the attempt to ianro her:
hot, at (bon as the provifion-ordar was
promulgated, I delivered to ynu m? opi-
nion, la July, 1795; in which I flatod my
obje^ions to the treaty, including many of
your own, tranfraitted to Mr. J. in my
letters la November, 15 December, 1794,
placing the ratification on the $am^ footing
on which I had placed it in tof addrefs/'to
Mr. Hammond. Without a luUerviency
to French politicks, .1 might have w^tt
doubted of the expediency of ratifying,
when it appears, by a letter fitNn Mr. J.
5 November, 1794.(14 days before he
ngned it), tliat he himfelf vibrated on the
propriety of ligning it. The maxim which
I have always enforced to you has been,
that the United States ihould ihake off all
dependence of France and England inter-
fering in our af&irs; but that we ought
nnt to deny or baffle the gratitude of tiie
people to France, under the pretext of in- .
dependence, in order to give a decifive
preponderance to Great Britain. Anxious
as 1 am to clofe this letter, which has been
delayed, not from any defign or hefitation,
but from circumHances uiuvoidable in ray
liuiatiini, 1 have only to deplore, that,
even with an auxiliaiy on your part, 10
recikllrA every thing, I cannot hope for *
fupport in many things which 1 might
mention, and which have been confined to

honetly of principle GuAavus Adolphus
is held up as a ftriking inHatfce on the
Contiaenr, and among ouffelves the
Conqueror of Tippoo Saih, to whom
^at, and, we believe, welUrotrited
compliments are here paid, p. 15. Not
that our author means to charge Mr. P.
with a departuie from thefe principles ;
but, believing in his conTcience tlwit he
liat on the whole approached nearer to
the pvaAice of public honcfty than any
of his ppcdeceflbrs, be is defirous of en-
forcii^^he Btceflity ftnd the advantage
of an entire ebferv^tion of its dilates in

been the principle by which lie has been
guided, it is too true that he has been,
* 00 fome occafiuns, Ufs lolicitous to ex-
plain them than ii con(i(Hnt with found
policy.
On' the.aitic^e, domeAic concerns,

profcdcs biinfcU ^ r€auiy boldly to chal-
lenge the world to flic w a period of hif-
lory ia which the complicaud affain of

nefty," p. ^5, •* With thi« favourable
acceptation of your conduA in the minds
of your fellow-countrymen, and wirh a
fonunate iffue to almoft aU your under-
takings, ir was no wonder that ^ou
thought it fufiicient to let your a^ttuis
fpeak for themfelyes ; and, oy i lot t of
magnanimity, a« natural as it was faf^,
you were lefs fiudious of explanations
when there were no doubts. This neg-
ligence of the arts of publication grew
into a habit, and it was not extraordinary
the attention to make ufe of the prcfs
ihould appear to you of little confer
quence, from the fmall advantage derived
by your adverfaries from their uoceafing
activity," p. 35. Thus men of letuis
have been negieded by the Minifler ;
and the prefs, ** the liberty of which ad-
mits no remedy but from iifelf," is not
employed by him to extend his reafon-
ing and measures beyond the Houfe of
Commons, and to counterafl the poifon
of mifreprefeniation.
This correfpondent of the Mioifter
thus concludes :
** I believe that you will give an eaf/
affent to my firil propofition — that drift
honefty is tlie belt means to (^bt.uu public

But, above itl, I am anxious, to imprcO
you with tlie neceflity, and the advantage
to the public welfare, and to the incrv.*afii
of your own means of utility to your coun-
try, of clear, full, and open explanations
of your meafures, circulated by every
means and iji all quarters. Let not any
perfun make you believe that thcfc obfei:-
vaiinns are tinctured with pariy-fpirit, or
embittered by private diiappointment or

faith of HH honed man, and of a true lover
of his country, they are the genuine effu-
iions of gooil-will to youi fcif, as well hs
of ardent defire fur the public welfare. It
is much more for the good of my country
than for your own that I conclude witli a
very fmcere prayer for a long and fuccefl-
ful continuance of your adminiliration \ to

COLD, cold, and rainy was the night,
A fbiv^ring Gipfey ftray'd ; —
She gently knocked at Clodden's deor.
And humbly tlins ibe pray'd :—
Open t open !•— Cold blows t!ie wind;

Where he fat in the dark ;
He let the piteous beggar in,
And ftirr'd ttie dying fpatk.
He pot fome flicks upon the fire,
A little flame to raife ;
Kneel'd on the hearth, and blew it up^
Into a chearful blaze.
The Gipfey in the corner flood|
All wrinkled wab and old :
A tittle boy flood by her fide,
All tcemUirg with ibe cold.
And Clodden is in Love |
He fmil'd, and kils'd her gentle band.
And try'd her heart to move. .
Wl>en Cupid faw what he had donc^
He op the chimii<-y flew ;
And, fwift as thought, ihnt thro* Che air^
And foon was out of view.
Now, Love is blind to ev'ry fault %
It fills all wrinkles up ;

And now he is its dupe.

A lid ^t ft his heai'c inilam'd with lovei,
And fmil'd to fee liis chains.
That Love is blind, is true enough,
F(ir it no f;iuUi can fee ;
Or ev'i y fault that it could find,

I have the honour to make known to
you, for the information of the Lords
Commiliionen: of '.he A Imirahy, that on
Friday la(^, the 13th in(^. at half pa(t
Aoon, itt lit. 47 deg. 3oiniQ. N. Ulhanc
bearing N. E. 50 le^foesj we difcovcred a
large ihip in the K. W. quarter; (leering
under eaiy fail for France s the wind was
Chen at Weil, bk>wing hard, with thicl^
hazy weather. I inftaiUl? made the (ig-
nal to the Amazon for a general chace,
and followed it by the figoal that the
chace was an enemy. At 4 P. M. the
Indefatigable had gaiqrd fufflciently upon
the chace for me to diftinguifh very
clearly that (he had tw6 tier of- guns, with
her lower deck ports (hot, aod that flitf
had uo poop*
At 15 minutes before 6 w6 btxnight
the eneniy to cloie a£iion» which con*
tinued to be well fupported on both fides
near an liogri when we onairpidably (hot
a-head. As thts moment th^ Amazon ap^
peared a-ftem, and gallantly fnpplied our
place ; but the eagemefs of CapL Rey«
nolds to fecond his friend had brought
hini up under a prefs of fail, and, after a
well -fupported and clofe fire for a little
time, he alfo unavoidably (hot a-head.
The enemy, who had nearly eifeAed \
running me on-board, appeared to be
much larger than the Indefatigable, and,
from her very hea%7 flrc of nutfquetry, I
believe was full of men 1 this fire was
continued until the end of the aAion with
great vivacity, although (he frequently
defended both fides of the (hip at Ihe
fame time. As foon as we had replaced
fome neceilary rigging, and the Amazon
had reduced her (ail, we commenced a
fecond attack, placing ourfelves, after
fome raking broadfides, upon each quar-
ter J and this attack, often within pil^ol
(hot, was by both (hips unremitted for
above 5 hours ; we then iheered off, to
fecure our maih. It would be needlefs to
relate to ilieir Lord(hips every cfhn that
we made in an attack, which commenced
at a quarter before 6 P. M. and did not
ceafe, excepting at intervals, until half
pa ft 4 A. M. 1 believe 10 houn of more
fevere fatigue was fcarcely ever experi-
enced; tie fea was high, the people on
the main deck up to their middles in
water, fome guns broke their breeching
four times over, fome broke their ring*
bolts from the fides, and m.iny of them
were repeatedly drawn immedi.'tcely after
loading ; all our malls were much
wounded, tjie ma>*n top- pad completely
unrigged, aod faved only by uncommon
alacrity. At about 20 minutes paft 4,
the moon opening rather brighter than
before, (hewed to Lieut. George Bell,
who was watch fidly looking out on the
forecaftle, a glimpfe of the land ; he had
fcarcely reacl'.ed me to report it, wlien ^e
faw the breakers. We were then clofe
under the enemy's fiarboard bow, and the
Amazon as near her on the larboard ; not
an inHant cmild be loi^, and every life
depended upoo the prompt execution t£

vered the enemy, who had fo bravely de-

and 2> tremendous furf beating over her.
The'mifcrable fate of her brave hut un-
happy crew was perhaps: the more fm-
cerely lamented hy us, from the appre-
henfion of fuffering a fimilir misfortune.
We pafTed her within a mile, in a very
bud condition, having at that time 4 feet
Water m our hold, a great fta, and ttie

cerrained, beyond a doubt, our firuation

between Mr. P. and myfelF is very
eafily fettled. His ekplanatioo of PI.

(what I could readily have acknow*

the obfervations I had haftity thro#a
tofsether.
r am happy to £nd that the plan C
have fuggeiled for aa arraagemeat of
tokens; ice. (bould have met with tht
approbation of a peiibn, who froni hit
purfuitt, place of refidence, and other
coniiderations, ismore than ordinarily^
competent to give* an opinion on the
fubje'£l. ' It is the arrangement which
I have myfelf adopted, and continue,
becaufe I find it anfwers my ^koiiveoi*
cnoe. In feme few inftancer i Have
been puzzled under what head to pUee
a particular piece; but, I tbiak; At
leaft the fame difficulty would have'
occurred had I followed any othdr
'method. Ix is, therefore, not without
confidente that 1 recomrmend it to
others as pra^icible. Should' thiy
find it as touvenient as I hikve, I (hall
be happy to have been of aHittance' t«
them ; diould they nor choofe to adopt
it, -or on the experiment find it not
to.aiifwer, the attempt^ I have made
cannot be ill taken. By -following tiis
plan of diftribunon Ilvave recommeed-
ed, a collector will be better enablcjl
'to judjse of the merit or demerit df
parttcuUr^efoiipttoDs of tokens thais

kens, when feen together in the fame
drawer, wilt ap|>ear what they really
are, with a very few exceptioos, bcnaarh
the notice of any friend ut the Arts. By
daifing the poliucai pieces together,
he will oblerve betur how little merk
is to be found in ttiem. For the ib«ft
party they are defpicab'c in their de«
i>gns, and laoO •clumfiiy ftruck on the
bafefi metal. It appeared to me, aati
fi'xii dots, that, by thus claffing diffe-
rent fubje^s together, the unwary or

CiTis,T can value merit in whatever
Ihape it may appear ; and it is not be-
caufe a jetton proceeds from the ihop
of one of the three Thomas's that X
would rejedt it, but becaufe. having
no merit in the execution, X fee no

T&e mulUfiiCfiiion ol diet it fudicieai
evidence of 'the cncoaragement they
have met with* I am not fo wanting
in tade as not to admire the mafteily
produ^ions of the national coinage
during Cromwell's ufurpation ; but,
in the prclcnt indance, X fee neither

raend the c^reater part of the p Witical
jettons. Thefe rem.irks will applv alfo
to Civis's obferva'ion 'on the 3d ob«

feem to agree; and I am h^ippy to
dnd, that' his exertions have promoted
an improved tade in the pfovincral
coins which have beee diuckby per*
fons in hit neighbourhood ; bv which*
in common with other coli^ors, -l
probably have had my fhare of ad»
Tantag«.
As to the matter of arrangement, I
agree with Civis in his l.'id lentenoe,
a« I alfo do that too much fubdiviQoa
creates confudon. Bat the queOion is,
wheitier there is too much in thu ia-
dance. That will depend on the va*
riety of diapee that tokens, &c. af-
fume. Refpe^ing its pra6iicabilit jr I
will fay nothing, as X have already
faid that I have experienced gretc
convenience from ft. After crying va» '

Indeed, I know more than one collec-

Not writing for the purpofe of con*

SCRIPTURE aOures uf, that the

ihipi of Tarfbifli, P-fa. xlviii. 7, were
then become a common appellacion for
all vclTett of trade; and to go to Tar«
iliifh, a kind uf proverbia.! exprefHoa

Th.iC part of the Mediterranean which
was contiguous to Ciitcia was called

Vtfut accounted the metropolis of this

dcr her dominion; and T<riLiih was
the firrt commercial poiver which made
any figure in this part oF the world.
Strabo fpeaks thus of the people %i
Tarfus i •« they did not Oay at'home \
but, in order to complete their educa«
tion, went abroad ; and many of them,
when they were thus accomplifhed,
ftiid in foreign parts, and never re-

have this expreffion applied to Tyre 1
" O, thou opprefled virgin, daughter of
Zidon, arifa^ pais over to Chitiim."
By Carthage the LXX throughout
underftand Taribifli. But how could
this be ? how could Tvre be called th«
daughter of Carthage? for, Carthage
was the daughter of Tyre.
The Tyrians were originally a co-
lony of the Sidoniani, and Sidon con-
fequenilv the mother-city of Tyre.
The fons of Tarfbifli not only •» oc-
cupied their bufinefs in great waters ;•*.-
they traded like wife on the Continent 1
they bad their fa^oiies at Dedan and
Sheba on the £uphr<itei, where they
trafficked in filver and gold. • See
fi'ick. xxxviii. 13 :
" Sheba and Dedan, and the merchants
of Tarfhifh, with all the young lions there-
of, that fay unto thee. Art thou come ta
takeafpoilr Haft thou gatliered Uiy com-
pany to take a prey ? to carry away ^lv«^
and gold, to take away catUc and goods,
to take a great (poil?"
Jer. X. 9, fpeaks of filver beat out
into plates as coming from Tarfliifii :
" Silver fpread into plates is brought
from Tarfhifl), and gold from Uphaz, the
work of the workman, and of tl)e hands

This word it promifcuouflf written
Rhodanim.
The ifl^ad of Rhodct hat, by minf
levrncd writers; been confidered at the
rcfideaee of rhit fan of Javan. Bo-
fh^rt thinks this 100 faiall a portion
ior him.
'. The Rhodians fdraamed therorcUes
Heliadai, or the hcauciful ; and, on
aecoant of the impurity of their man*
Bcrtt were, in after -timet, named Aihi
Cyrcneofet* Sea Achenxui, b. viii. ro«
ikccordiog ro Strnbo, the Curetes were
ceruin Telcbinni whom Rhea carried
with her from Rhodes into Crete, and
were probably the firft occupiers of
that iftand which was fiift called TeU
chinia.
Tha inYtniion of works in iron and
brafs being iadiffereatiy attributed to
fhc Curetes and Telchines, they were
probably the fame people. See Strabo,
lib. X.
Thnfe of Rhodanim's Tons who fet-
tled in Crete were the firft whom the
Grecian hflory records for their power
and dominion at fea under their leader
Minos. This prioce was no left re-
nowned for his arms abroad than for
his policy and wife government at
horov. He is fatd to have framed a
code of wife laws, under the dire£lion
of Jtipite', for his fubjcdls of C<ete,
Though (his may have the air of a ro-
mance iovcn'ed, as fuc:i repoits were
%o i^ive the beticr ran6)ioD to his laws{
•yet It ii coo'effed, fays Strjt>o, that
Crete in antieat times was fo well go*
Tcroed, that the heft Mates of Greece,
nfpc^ially that of Sparta, did not dif-
4ain to ir'^nfcribe many of its laws.
Accoiding to Mcurfiuf, chofe which

In aftcrviimes Crete became a deo of

their thefts and tnjuflice as the Be-

boaft may be af«.rib«!dthe cuflom men-
tioned by Herodotus as peculiar to this
people— the children took thcr names
sot from t^e father bu- the mother,
and followed her condition, not his.
If a noble or free worn 10 mamed a

a man of the firft rank took to wife «

called Cyprus I from which all the

maritime places, are by the Hcbrcwf
called Chethiro."
It feems probable that this ion of
Javan inhabited what is called CtKcip
the rough, the limits of which, ae^
eordhij; to Strabo, ei tended along thf
fca-coafl from Mount Cragus to the
city Soli, and thence on the continent

for a reafon above aRigned, that muft

this affords a mod convirjcing tcfli-
mooy of the intentions of Providence,
that man (bculd live in a hate of civil
fociety, is not (o immediateiy my pur-
pofe to remark, as it is to lament, (hat
there aie' not fome fpcedy eflabliflied
modes by which the tirfl thoughts of

The benefits to refult from the joint

tioned to the facility of* mutual com-
munications, which has been greatly
forwarded by the arts of writing and
printing. It is, perhaps, in the expe-
rience of every one, \yho makes ebfer-
vations on his own mind, tliat many
fingular and curious th'juj^hts have
anfen; but, being no farther depofited
than in the memory, they are in time
for ever gone, and rcfift his fruitlcU
efforts to recai them here, though we
are not to lament the lofs of every im*
mature conception ; yet, doubt^c(s,
thoufahds, nay millions, of Taluable
ideas have been loH from the common

dock from the waoc of due means, or
rather of due exertions,' to prefer ve
tbem.
There are, perhaps, fome not un-
juftifiable, caui«;s which prevent the
immediate communications of all we
have difcovered ; and it is not un-
worthy of a great mind to endeavour
to purine alone the game it has (l«irted,
of to elpe£t from the hands of Fame
the rewfard held out for him who has,
unalfided, palfed thfough the intrica-
cies of error, or added fomethiog ufe-
ful or beneficial 10 mankind ; but,
there can be no pofliblc excufe formed
for him who lets his difcoveries die
with him.
How are we, for InHance, to efli-
mate the man who, being polfeiTed of
the fecrets of curing, or eafing, naanf
of the maladies to which oUr naiures
are fubjedt, or of any other by which
the Rate of man may be improved,
intends that the knowledge of them
ihall deep with him in the^grave ?
In order, then, that the world (hall
not for ever lo(e what the individual
may have an excluBve right to enjoy
whilft he lives, it is the duty of every
one to commit to writing all the know-
ledge that may emphatically bt called
bis, that the rell of mankind may have
the enjoyment of it when he 00 longtr
can. '
What is here faid is not intended
folely to extend to thofe things which
are arrived at maturity, but to thofe
slfo which at prelent live but in pro-
bable conjeflure, nay^ even to tltofe
of polTibility of completion ; for, it is
often more ingenious to ilate the pro-
poiiiion than to folve \i\ and in^ances
are daily occurring where difcovary
treads lalt upon the heels of (aggct!ion.
Neither would 1 be underliood as
direflicg my attention to thole im-
provements which the natural and
phyfical woJd only are (uicc^tible of:
I take in alfothc moral and mtclledlual,
and every various lubjcdt in each that
is capable oi extenfion or advancement.
We have lately witrteffcd what may
be accomplilhccl by the joint endea-
vours ot men co-operating to one end,
by the fuccelstul proceedings of the
Board of Agriculture eltablilhed upon
the excellent ptanot Sir John binciait ;
who, m the (pace ot about two yeats,
have been enabled to culled together
into otkK common llock the whole of
the knowledge and pradtice of agti-

culture, partially diffufed before a-
roongft thoufands of prejudiced and
incommiHiicatitc individuals, and have
digefled the whole in fuch a wav ^% to
vanquifli old errors, and to eftablilh
the icience of agriculture upon general
principles, formed as they fliould be,
not from the h^pothefes of fpeculativ.e
and vifionarv m^n, but fiom the well-
authenticated experience of the intel-
ligent, 0cady, and fobcr-minded, prac-
tical farmer.
As Sir John Sinclair is livhig, what x
might be much Ids than juflice to fay ,
of him would be much more than de-
corum would now permit of, rcfpcfl-
ing one who fcems to do good for its
own fake, and who appeirs to feek not
the praife but the benefit of man«
Thus much, hoM-ever, may be faid^
that, if in the other branches of hu-
man knowledge fome leader in eadh
would endeavour at an humble imita*
tion of his exertions, a few years only
would pafs before the whole world '
might receive the benefit of ihc aniici«
paied knowledge of agc» to come.
There is nothing which fervcs Co
much to il-iu (irate our purpofes as ap-
polite examples. 1 (hall give two,
which, i think, will elucidate the in-
tention of this paper as far as concerns
the due noticing of our firft thoughts.
We will fuppoic the following to be
very antient namoranda found amongft
the papers of fome curious obfei vers

often more ingenious to (l^te the pro-

1794. Some account of itt device,
infcription, &c. would, I have no
doubt, be highly gratifying to your
readers. If, inf^ead of'thoie political
jectODS that have been recently in cir-
culation, feme of which have t ten-
dency to feditioD rather than loyalty,
a fufficicnt number of medals were
(Iruck in commemoration uf that en-
gagement, and, I may now add, of
the more brilliant one of the i4.th of
February laft, and diHributed amongd
the BritiOi feameoy who difplaycd, on
thofe occafions, a nautical ikiii and
bravery which mud ever endear them
to their country, they might tend 10
cherilh and invigorate that public fpirit,
which, amongft this ufeful daft of
men, is of fo great importance to a
maritime nation, and which Major
Tench fo Hrongly recommends in one
of his letters from France when he was
a prifoner, intimating, at the fame
time, how much the republican enthu*
fufm of the French Tailors was (up-
^ported by appropriate fongs and fcfti-
vals. A copper coin, with a fuitable
device and legend, celebrating the vic-
tory to which the Britifli tars had fo
highly contributed, would probably be
coniidered by them as great a mark of
honour as that which has been confer-
red on their ofH^ers by a golden, me-
dal fufpended from their necks.
In France, naval medals have been
mure numerous than in this country,
particularly in the reign of Louis XIV.
whofe fleets had ditlmguifhed them-
fcUes more than thofe of his prcdeccf-
fors. For, during his d)nafly, more at.
tcntion was paid to the marine than in
any former period. There was fcarce-
ly a (ipa-Bght, either wth the Englifb,
Spaniards, or Duwwh, for ihcfc were all
in turn at wnr with that monarch, or
a convoy protected, or a befieged town
iupplicd with proviHons, where it could
be done by Tea, but a medal was Uruck
on the occafion. And though, in i'cve-
ral inllances the vi^laiv was doubtful,
yet it was always claimed by that prince,
who was no iefs vain than ambitious.
It has, therefore, been remarke^i, that
he excelled all other fovercigns in the
number of his medaliic impredioni,
many. of which were well executed,
though obje6ttonable in pointof veracity.
But I fliall only mention two medals
that were ft ruck by order of Louis
XIV. about the time of the conciufion
of his naval career, as being of a more
gcatral nature^ the dtUripiion of
which I (hall extra£^ from a French
Hif^orian, who has introduced in'^hit
work • an account of feveral medals of
this reign which relate to the marine.
" So great," fays he, " was the naVal
repuution of France, that it was celebrated
by a medal, on which was lecu a f-^mala

has been written on the fubjeA, I fliall
refer the paiient reader to the foremen-'
tioned Co!le6lion of Scots Songs, pub-
liflied by J. Johnfon. By this it /eemt
that the author of William and Ellen'

IT were to be wtfliecl that Tome per-
fon, who has an opportunity for
Icarching, and time for writing, would
communicate anecdotes retatiye to the
Culpepert. A detail of the manors
they pofleifed is not meant ; as their
propertTi wbfch was very large, is
IpeciBed by the biflorians.of the diflfe-
rent counties in which they had landed
cOates ; but anecdotes of their lives
and converfatiom, that it might be
known whether many of them were
wife and famous in tbtir generation*,
and the glory of their times. I rather
fufpe^^ that it would be found, on exa-
mination, that very very few Culpepers
were diHinguilbed for a brilliancy of
talents. In the literary clafs how fel*
cvr and co-heirefs, Elizabeth, inarrir4
Sir William Tate, knt. of Delaprdf
whofe great- grandfon, Bartholomew
Tate^ married Mary, elded daughtei^
of f-dward Noe^, of the Inner Temple,
and had ifltie, Bartholomew, elded foil
and heir, Edward, and three daugh*
ters, namely, Katharine, Mary, and
Sufannah. Edward, the (econd (ba,
died 'in infant. Sufannah, the third
daughter, died unmarried. Bartholo*
mew intermarried with Arundel,
daughter of Henry Stradfoid, of Orer*
done, .in Northamptondiire, and had
ilTue Baiiholomew, whodted an infant,
and one daughter, Elizabeth, who be-
came the wife of Admiral Sir Cbarlet
Hardy, and left no ilTue.
Catharine Tate, the eldeft daughter
dom are they to be feen ! The name and co-heirefs, married Cha. Hedges,
does not occur, or in Tanner's Bi*

peper*s Englifli Phyfician, or Medical

recoiled; and of this, it Teems, there
was an editior, with a Medical Herbal
enlarged, in 1793. As dignitalVies m
the churchy I am not aware of more
than two : Martin Culpeper, M. D.
warden of New College, Oxford, in
1573, dean of Chicheder in 1577, and
aicbdeacon of Berks in 1588; and
Francis Culpeper, who was preben-
dary of Rocheder in 1546. Martin
Culpeper being M D. it is notunlike'y

THE enquiries of your female

fefily anfwered in p. 206) I fend you
the following account, which will
probably adbrd her the information die

tive of obliging her that I am induced
to entreat a little room in one of your
future piges for infer tion of what muft
be fo perfectly uninteredmg to the red
of your numerous readers. 1 beg to
acquaint the lady, that Mary Zouche,
who married Robert Burbige, of Hays,
in Middlefex, and Catharine, who
of Fincliley ; and Mary, the fecond
daughrer'and co-heirefs, married Sa-

With that view he moved, agreeably
ao the Navigation Ad, that the Houfe
refolve itfelf immediately into a Com-
nittee, to conBder of the ftate of com-
merce to and from the Cape of Good

After a few obje6lions from Sir

tl^t their joint-revenue exhibited a

moreover congratulated the Houfe,

and enumerated the many advantages
gained during the war, bur particnltrif
the capture of the Cape of Good Hope

Mr. UaBAN, Jfni$*
IT is a very reproachful tr^th that,
in the prefent enlightened' Oate of
human attaiom^cti, a fcience, above
all others more immediately fubfer-
vieni tb our eaiftence, (hould be com*
paiativpiy only in a (lae of infancy;
that, notwithftandiog the a^ive and
fpirited exertions of ieverai very re-
fpe£lable focietiei, eftabi flied for the
fole purpofe of promot ng its advance*
ment, it (hould dill labour under the
mod embarrading obdacles. You will
teadily perceive that 1 allude to thf
fcience' of Agriculture! a fbienee
which, notwitbdanding i(t prefenc im«
perfe£lioofe, has been pra£lically CttUi«
vated from the earlied ages, and whicli
contvibutes to the fupport and happt«*
neft of civilized dates m ;i more effen*
tial degree than any other whatever*
In thefe, indeed, it is the very bafis
and primary caufe of' the importance ■
they enjoy. Hence it is particuUrif
furprizing that no path has ever beca
druck out by which fhe means of cuE
tivuting It might be rendered more ez«
peditious, and fixed on more natural
and permanent piinciples. The firft
dep to promote fo dedrable an end
would be to invedigate its nature^ and
the connexion it holds with the various
other purfuiu of life. Such an en-
quiry would obvioufly point out the
mod rational means of rcducrog it to
an eafy and natural fyftem. Experience
has already furniflied fo many sad ini«
portant fa£^t and obfervationi in agrl-
culture, that, except they are foon ar«
ranged under fome general fyRem^
there it confiderable danger leiib the
perfeAioif df the fcience mould be ra-
ther retarded than advanced, firooa the

agricuhuriA muft necdTarily retaio in
Kis memory. The fucJeties which
have been inftitu'ed for the promotion
of agricultural knowledge, nnd which
are liow eftablilbing in different pro-
Tincial towns, have held out rewards
only for pra6ica1 improveme;its »nd
difcoverles; not confidering that, when
a variety of fa6^i hat been obtained re-
lative to any icience, they Ibould be
arranged according to the refemblance
in their operations and efTc^i, from
which comparifont fuch general con*
clufiont art tC be derived as will
ferve to form a theory to which all
the cafei may be referred for expU-
BatioB. Ad accurate and judicious
inveftigetron Nxill convince any perfou
that the priaciples of agricu ture are
primarily chemical. The various foils
of our CQuntry originate in a mixture
of primitive eajrths and the remains of
dead organized bodies. Thefe differ
fo widely from each other, tiiat fome
of theni afford, with a trifling cylti-
vaiion, the moft abundant crops ;
while others, by the mod laborious
cultivation, will fcarcely produce any
at all. It appears, from the moft au-
thenticated experiments, that a parti*
^ular grain requires an appropriate foil |
and it wou'd be eafy, by means of
chemical proceffcs, to nfcc.'t.<in the
proportion of ingieditnts which frrm
fuch foils. From cxperimvnts of this
nature we mighr dedure permanent
principles upd^j which a rc^ultr fylUm
iD-ight be eftabliihed. How far thefe
principles will conduce to the forma-
tion of fuch a fyftcm, Lord Dundonald
has evinced in a very c.'^boraie and

already before them; and, fliuuld they

of the fun and fixed ftars, by Dr. Her-

21 . propofcs his own ; that the fpoti are
tU: parts of the diik which are feeo with
tew or no clouds hanging ovrr them ;
that the fun has an atmofphere in
which the mitter of light is floating,
I which, when in great niafles, will in-
tercept entirely the view of the fun's
body, and, as it is Ufs denfe, will afford
betier means of obferving the body.
From the greater inequalities in the
fun's Airfacc, the various appearances
in the fpots are accounted for ; and the
folar clouds are compared to the Iuml»
nary decompofitions which take place in
our aurora borgatist or luminous arches,
Avhich extend much farther than the

the wind cleared away the thick cloud

that ^^ttx. part of its crater had fallen
in. In comparifon of the column of
fmokc, which is conjedured to be not
lefs than 25 miles high, the mountain,

occalioned not «-nly by lava and alhes,
but I))' great inundations from cl uds

of the mountain near to its vonex. On

mountain, but could not reach the top
of the crater, and was obliged to put a

XI. ON the influence of cold on the
health of the inhabitants of London, by
William Heberden. jun. M D. Janu-
ary* 1795, was the coldcfl, and January,
1796, the warmed winter of which any
Tegular account has ever been kept in
this country. *'Thecxcefsof the morta-
lity in January, 1795, above that of Ja-
noary, 1796, was not lefs than 1352,
a number fufiicient furcly to awaken
the attention of the mod prejudiced ad-
mirers of a frofty winter. A prejudice
concerning putrid difeafes fecms to have
made people more and more apprehen-
five of them, as the danger has been
growing lefs. It mud in a great mea-
iure be attributed to this, rhac the con-
fumptionof Peruvian baik in this coun-
try has within the lad 50 years increafcd
from 14,000 to above ioo,oco lb. an-
nually ; and the fame caufe has probably
contitbuiec from a mfdaken rooJe of
realoning to prepoiTefs people with the
idea vt rhe wholefoBicneis of « hard
froft. . But Dr. Hnnfer, in his Obfrrva-
tions on rhc Jail-Fever, (Med. Tianf.
vol. IIL) has very ably demondiated
that a long frod is eventually produc-
tive of the word putrid fevers that are
at this time known in London, and that
heat does in HSt prove a real preventa-
tive agatnd that difeafe. And, though
this may be faid to l>e a very remote ef-
fect of the cold, it is not therefore the
lefs real in its influence upon the mor-
tality of London. Nearly twice as manf
perfons diedof fevers in January, 1795^
as did in the conefponding month of
this year. I might go on to ob-trve,
th.t the true fcurvy was lad \ear ►ene-
rared in the metropolis from the Camo
caufcs extended to an unufual length.
But thefe are by no means the 011I/
way$, nor indeed do they feem to be the '
principal, in which a frod operates to
the dedrv^lion of great numbers of peo«
pie. The poor, hs they arc worfc pro-
tc£)ed from the weather, fo aie they of
courfc the greated fuffcrers by ics incle-
mency. Every ph^fician and apothe-
cary in London can add his ieftim?my,
that their budnefs, atniong all ranks of
people, never fails to increafe and to
decreafe with the frod. For, if there
be any whofe lungs are tender, any
whofeconOitmion has been impaired by
age or interrupted by difeafe, he will be
very liable to have all his in6rmitie«
«gg'r*vated by fuch a feafon. Nor'muft
the young and a^ive thcmfelves he
quite fecurc, or fancy their health will
be confirmed by imprudently expofing
thcmfelves. The doutcft man luay

from accidents ctherwife inconfidera-

coughs, and lay the fountiaiion of the
levered ills. In a country wlrcre the
prevailing complaints among all or-
ders of people are colds, coughs, con-
fumptions, and rhcumatifms, r.o pru-
dent man can furcly fuppofc that unne-

variation of the magnetic needle, at Fort

by John MaodonaUl, efq. '* It has

Suppofing with the great Halley the
exigence of four magnetic poiet, by
blending this fuppofitiL*a with the above
principle well-alcertained, attempts have
been made to accouot for the diurnal
variation of the variation, Mr. Canton
in I7s6 ^f^ i^ Europe obftrvcd that
this diurnal variation of the variaiioo i^
greater in fummer than in winter ; and
the refults of the foregoing obicrration
being diametrically oppofice to his, with
fimilar effe£ls, afford nut a fmall con-
firmation of the rifential part of Halley 's
theory. The fcicnces of Eledricity
and Magnetifm are, in Mr. M*i opinion,
yet in their infancy. From the great-
ncfs of the angles of the dip of the nee-
dle, he is led to iuppofe that the mag-
netic poles are fixed witliin the magnetic
nucleus, or within the earth's I'urtacc,
and that fome of thefe poles are more
powerful in their adion than others,
from the variaiiun obfervcd in various
places in the globe.

that in all the Wcrft lodiest with fome

The fituaticn yii the mulatroes is repre-
fented as being, in many refpefts, more
wretched ihan the rniliV^d negroes, in
many parts of the Wtii Indies ; confi-
dcrcd as public property, compelled to

^ •*" ^ 1788, 1 (kctchcd every
^ . ^ evening a fliortaccounK
5S(^^^^ of the day»s ramblei
and animadvernoni.
The MS. which contained it hat been
alnnoft worn out by the reading which
the partiality of feveral friends hat gi-
ven it. I hate been frequently re-
quelled to give it to the pnblick thro'
the medium of fome periodical work»
the nature of whrch did not fo much
require the finiflied produ6lions of Ait
as the occa(ion«l cffudons of a feeling
mind. With this requcft I at length
comply^ trufting^ that the time of
which the following papers treat will
not be deemed uniatareAing. It was
the dead calm before the tumult of
the ftorm ; it was a ftate of awful ex*
pe6tation| when the public mind was
prepared for a change, when the ge«
neratity of the people admitted the ne«
ccffity of a reform, which all wiihed
to receive in a falutary and intigoni-
ting flreani, but which imagiuatioi:
could not paint in the form of a defo-
iating torrent, fweeping away the wif>
dom and the works of ages, and in-
volving the whole world in (laughter
and devaftation. Much of my youth
has been fpent in France. I have ob-
ferVed corruption in the government ;
but I hare feen happiaefs in the peo-
ple. I am far from being the advocate
of the former ; but it is net difficult to
determine whether the Revolution has
hitherto increafed the latter. To that
Great Power, who holds all nations
in his hand, and regulatee the vicilfi-
tudet of human affairs by the unerring
decreet of inAoite wifdom» we muft
bow with re fig nation, and con lid er the
defigna of human policy, the errors of
politicians, and the mifcondu£t of
tatcfmen, bvt as fccoi^dary caufefy
fubfervient to that Firlt, that Great
Intelligence, winch pervades and dl«
re£(8 the whole univcrfe* On tfiiJt
Great Power we muft rely for the pro«
duAion of a fairer order of thingt, for
the amelioration of governments, mo«
rality, and religion, among mankin^f
recoiled ing that even the beautiful la*
brick of btMV$n and i§rtb ufi iut tf
cbdts*
I fhall occalionally fabjoin a (tW
notes, chiefly fuggefted by the tr4«
mendouB changes which have taken
place fince the tour was ihade. V.

P.M. in company with Mr. 'A; we
were to meet Mr. 8. in London. The
party originally confifled of four; batf
in the execution of nny plan, fome de*
viation from the original form of ie
muft be ezpe6ked, and care maft be
taken that the derangement of 'fome of
the parts mav not deftroy the whole*
The poft^of the iSih brotight mewofd
that the original mover of the fcheme
could not fulfil his intentions.
We were apprehenfive we ihoold be
too late$ for, the Dover maiUcoacb^

Our driver ran a race from ■ to

Holboum, in four hoars and a half*
Our friend S. did not *pV€ur, and^e
began to apprehend a lecond difap*
pointment i but, a few minutes before
the ftated hour of departure, he arri«
ived, and mutual congratulation! iuc«
ceeded" miftrofl and fufpenfe.
That travellers tfre liable to pcrpe«
tual impoiitionsj we experienctd at one
very outfet. The book -keeper of the
Dover mail-coach had required the
wholt fare to be paid, but had givte

But''^ whatever our fenfations may

bereave Virgif of his generally- fuppo-
fed charader, as a man of pure inte-
grity of life, ought ic to deprive him
alfo of his a knowledged excellence as
^ poet of admirable talerts. Yet fuch
is the Sentence of Dr. Johnfoo. He
allows to this Paftoral neither the me-
rit of ,fentiment or defcription, of
touching the imagination, or' aflre6iing
the pMfhon. He ilrips it bare 0/ every
rcquifite which it ought ro poiTefs as a

to a level with the woiks of the moft
incorrigible blockheads, and virtually
rcprefents it co be fuch a one as, in
thofe days, Bavius or Maevius might
liave written ; or, in our times, Bfte,
Boaden, or Merry, might be corope*
tent to produce.
This fentence cannot be fupported

but which, at leaft, need only to b^

The complaints of Corydon break
•ut in the following abrupt and natu-
ral manner:
** Ocrudelis Alexi nihil mea carroina caras ?
Nil noAri mifcrerc? mori medenique.c ges.
Nunc etiam pecuUes umbras et frigora cap-
tant ; [los ;
Nunc viriiles etiam occultant fpineta lacer-
Theftylis et r.'pido felTis meflbribusxftu
AUia ferpyllymqueherbas contunditolentes:
WVt mecum raucis, tua dum veftigia luftro,
Svie fub ardenti refonant arbufu cicadis."
He then enumerates his riches and
ruftic propei^y :
'<Milie meaeSiculis errant in montibns agnae:
l^ac mi hi non aeltate novum, ooo lifigore*
dtiit."
He vindicates the comlinefs of bis
form by an apt allufidn;
'' Nee fum adto informis : nuper me in lit«
tore viai, [Daphnim,
Cilm placklum ventis ftaret mar.e; non ego
Judice|^eiuanr,fi nunquam fallit imago.**
Suddenly he paints to himfelf the
fcl.city of humble Itfe with the objeft
of his w:(hes4
'' O tantum libeat mecum tibi fordida ran
Atque humiles habitare cafaf, et figere
cervo«, [hibifco I"
Hxdorumque gregem vlridi compeller^
His (kill in Tinging, and the gifts
which he h^ prepajed for Alexis, ane
next defcribed. He enhances the va-
lue of the pipe by mentioning the feov
rations of his competitor on the occa*
fion of D.'maetat bedowing it on him :
— — ** f nvidit ftuitus Amyntas.**
The defcription of the chap!et of
flowers is in a ftrain of the moft
mellifluous v'tfitication. He promi/et
to add to i; himfelf by gathering fruits :
<< Ipfe ego cana legam tenera lanugine maltt
Caftaiieafque nuceSj mea quas AmarylUs
amabar. £qtie porno;
Addam cerea prima; et honos erit huic quo«>
£t vos O huri carpam, etteproxima m3rrte;
Sic poii^ quooiamiuaves mifcetls odorec.**
It is ionpwllible not to remark in tha
fecond line the trait of Nature which
is (hewn in the recommendation of the
nuts. The fo)e circuroftance of Ama«
ryilis h;«ving iiked them Corydon feemf
to think an infallible proof of theic
goodnefs, and that it will of itfclf ea«
fore to them a favourable acceptance.
A modern poet would }^-tVt launched
out into the elegance of their flivour^
a defcription of the country they grew
in, and the didance they were brought
from, Mta quas AmaryJiis amabdt \i
ten times more eloquent aifd exprelTive.
It is by touches like this chat the poet
of genius is diftinguiflied from the li-
terary mechanick.
But Corydon foon recollefls that,
^— '< Nee munera curat Alexis^
Kcc, ft muneribus certes, concedat fdla*:.'*]
He then abandons himfelf^o defpair;
« Eheu ! quid volui mifero mihi i floribna

From the general lenour of Mr,
Wogan's piinc'plcs in the -abovemcn-
ti( ned EiTay, there is much reafoo to
fuppofe, that his "Expofition" mult
Aaod clear of that horrid dcftrine of
abfoiute unconditional predellinatioii
and election of Tome to ttern«il life, as
much of the tamenefs of fentinncntj held by John Calvin and his difciples ;
ioo itscharadUriHic IS eagernefsandar- and of its concomitant, the abfoiute
and undiAurbed enjjyment of her
.cities.
At length he fobers and becowes
more temperate. The coming night
rednres fereniry of mind. He recol-
ItSti that he has left his work hnfi-
nilhedMand refolves for the future to
apply himfelf to ufeful induflry :
** Ah I Corydon, Coi^don, qibe te dementia
cepit 1
Semiputata tibi frondofa viti< in ulmo ed.
Qnin tu aliqivd faltem potius> quorum indi-
get ufuf,
Vimin bus moliique paras detexere junco ?
Invenies alium, fi te hie fafti<lit, Alexim."
In rhc fecond of thefe lines there is
||p allofion to n precept of heathen fu-
periiition, which may be fuppofed to
operate in the mind of Corydofi as an
incentive to more induftrious purfuiti.
Diis ix imputata vitt m iibanto is^nu-
inerated among the laws of Numa)
and of fucb coofequence was the due
obfervance of. ikis rule fuppofed to
be, that whofoever infringed it was
faid to be punifhed with midnefs.
This eclogue dtfcnbes with Hngu-
lai felicity tt^e r^ge ^nd fury of the
love with which Corydon was in-
flamed. It abounds iviih frequent
ebullitions of paifion, and Urong ex-
preliions of feeling, [t prfllifes not
dour. Irs dtfcrlptioni a>e, thtrcfore,
fhort but r^pid, prcfcnting to the mind
the ideas of the poet by bold and ab-
rupt tiguies r^ither than by fmouth ;ind
equefble diffufion. Some pait is bor-
rowed from Theocritus, Id>li. XI. la
the paflage in which Corydon defends
the beauty of his perfon, from having
feen himiclf in the fea. the limilar cir-
cumftance which the S'cilian bard le-
Jates of Polyphemus immediately oc-
curs. In th'.s particular, Virj^ii fecms
not to have irrjitatcd with his uru;:l
judgement. The Cyclops mght with
propriety be reprefenced ^s beholding
himfelf in the fea; but it is more pro-
bable that a fheph^d would ufc a nver
or a fountain for that purpofe. Such
a fault is, however, a relative imper-
ic^ioA only. Whether Corydon faw
unconditional reje6\ion and cotiHgn-
ment of others to eternal toiments ; I
fay, it' mufi f\and cicsr of this blaf-
phemous herefy on the one hand, and
of the Pel jgun do6lrine, of man's abi-
lity to lave liimfelf without the grace
of God, on the other.
The foimcr of the!e hrrcfics, in my
opinion, has two mol\ pernicious cf-
fe6^Sj for, bcfide offering violence to
every attribute of a holy and juft God,
it tends to raife feme men to the high-
cft pitch of fanatic prclumption, and
to depiefs ethers into the horrors of
dcfpair. Bciidc this, fuch do6trine,
being alfumed as though it were taught
in the Holy S^riptuies, di[pofcs many
fe:ious Deifls (and fuch there uo-
doubtedty are) to reject the whole Bi*
blc revelation.
^I^i'l ^*' Diffrims i/Ct?vin, — Epitaph on Mrs. Scott. - 375
Ic is obvious enough to all diligent
and unprejudiced enquirers into primi-
tive ant'quity, that fuch do^iine was
n^ever received for orthodox^ annong the
primitive Fathers j neither was it re-
ceived by the Church of England at
her JhJI rcfprmation frotn Popery, in
the td and 3d year of Edward V[.
(whatever Mr. TopUdy has afleried
M the contrary), nor until John CaN
▼io and his aflfociates were fufTcred to
intermeddle in it in the ^^h and 6th
years of the fame reign. From that
time, indeed, cruel CMlvinifm, poiiti-*"
cat at well as theolof^ical, became fa*
ihionable in England, and fcon after
, in Scotland too. There it was pre*
feotly (lirred up by John Knox (<nd his
mob- abettors into all the enormities of
devaftatiofl, fedition, and open rebel-
lion.
It is well worthy to be remembered
vfith what infernal zeal and diligence
the emilTaries of the Court of Rome, in
Queen Elizabeth's time, (l;rred up
every evil principle that is in fallen
man toaccompIiOi their m%xlm, divide
St imptra. And, no foooAr were
Church and State oveiturned by the
rebellion in 1641, and K. Charles I.
murdered, than thefe men affumed the
garb and char^fter of Puritans, Inde*
pendents, Quaksrs, &c. &c. j for. Pro*
teus-like, they changed their form at
often as they found it convenient to
ferve their purpofes. And it was no
uncommon thing for the fame identical
Jefuit to celebrate mafs in the morning
in a Popi(h chapel ; and, in the after*
noon, in a Quiker's or Independent
meeting, to rant away, and rdl at the
poor opprelTed Chjurch of Kngland,
and her rites and fervices, as altoge*
ther Popifli and idolatrous. Neither
is the number and vaiiety of heieiies
in the ieafl diminifhed in thefe our
days either in Eni^land Or Scotland,
nor likciy to be fo uutil the fecond
coming of our Lord.

The Sax»n or TVqo/r pobnd, there-

ratios, or pioportions, between the laro^
Weights are thus :

pound is to the baxon or Tow^r pound
as 16 to 15, or 12 to 11.25 or it|, or

Tiiefe proportions receive roucbeoo-

that it weit>hed 10 oz. Sdwts. of the

Mr. A. Tmyfor begfred leave to call
the attention of the Houfe to a fcanda*
lous and mtltcious libel, lately pub-
liQied againft a member of that Houfe
in a publit print, cal'ed " The Sun."
Nor would the Houfe, he faid, be in-
clined to pay left attention to it, be*
caufe it was diie£>ed azainll fo mean
an individual as himfeif. In fo doing,
he only claimed that prote6lion which
she Houfe indifcriminately held out to
all its nrembers ; and he trufled that
the prefect flagrant calumny woud
tidt be permirtrd to pafs unpunidted.
The libel would be found in «' The Sun*'
of Tuefday laft, where his fpecch was
maticioufly mifrcpcefented, and com-
ments made on it that inflamed the
inifreprefentation, and confcquently
Jl^^rdvared the crime.
Co/. fitmfatrUk implored \l» tiUtVk*

■or the Emperor, had any right tm
detain him in captivity-»for he watt
in refpeA to them, neither ■ prifoner
of war nor of ftate. Nay, the £mpc*
ror feemed to confeft that he was not
free to relcafe him fr«m prifon , hit
Imperial Majefty having aifurcd the
afflifled fpouw ef that gallant officer,
that his hands were boami on that fab*
jeA«*may not then the dtfgrace of
compelling him thus to linger in no*
worthy taptirity redound upon the
Britifii nation, who has now no ally
but the Emperor of Germany oa
whom that difgrace can be reBeded ?
To vindicate the Britifli name from
fo foul an imputatiQn, and to termi--
nate the fevere fofferingt of an irr«*
proachable man, was the objeA of the
motion he would now fnbmit 10 the
Houfe ; namely, that an humble ad-
drefa be prefented to his Majefty, re-
prcfenting to his MAJefty, that the
detention of M. La Fayette was inju*
riotis to the common caofe ; and be*
feeching him to take fuch meafures as

fed: the liberation or that gallant of-
ficer and his unfortunate companions.

National Aflembly concerning the co-
lony, in cafes of exterior regulation,
Ihall have force, till confirmed by the
Colonial AfTembty ; and it was reported
all over the colony, by their enemies,
that they affumed independence. Some
of the parifhes recalled' their deputies
from the General AfTembiy, and others
renounced obedience to it. Thc'6over«
nor iiftted a proclamation codifTolTe the
Aflembly, and hoftilities adually com-
menced. The mcmbert of the AfTem-
biy determined to repair to France, and
furrendcr their perfons to the ftsperior
government. In the mean time, a voung
mulatto, of the name of Og6, inflamed
to madnefs by the political enthuiiafts
of France, landed on the ifland, and ez-
tited a rebellion among his own par-
tizans, which ended in a truce, and the
leader'* flight ; but was given up and
executed. Another leader declared,
** no peace would be permanent till one
clafs of people had exterminated the
other." Og6's ftory was afterwards
worked up into a tragedy to inflame the
Pariiians. The 85 members of the
Colonial Adembly were ill received at
Paris, and even kept in a temporary
(late of arreft ; and troops were lent to
reduce the iflanders to obedience, who
revenged themfelves in a moft barbarous
manner on the officers who had tided
with the government on the firft revolt.
The National AfTcmbly paded a de-
cree, May 15, 1791, admitting the peo*
pie of colour, bom of free parents, to
all the privileges of French citizens, to
ele£^ reprefentatives, and even hold
feats among them. This decree expe-
dited a general revolt of the Negroes in
the Northern provinces. In two months
upwards of 1000 whites were malTacred,
and 1200 Chriilian families reduced to
beggary ; the town of Cape St. Frao-
9ois was with difficulty defended till
the Negroesy now joined by the Mu-
lactoes (who were then the greatcft ty-
rants and taik-mafters, but were now
inflamed by publications and encourage-
ment from France and £ngland), were
defeated. Upwards of 10,000 of the in -
fui gents penflied by the (word or fa-
mine, and fome hundreds by the hands
of the executioner. The obnoxious
decree of May 1 5 was, by the verfatility
of the French reprefentatives, repealed
by the CouJItttunt AfTembly ; and no
io^wt was auihemic infocoiation of
this repeal in Sr. Domingo, than all
trufV and confidence, and every hope
of reconciliation and amity between Lhe
two clafTes of Mulattoes and White<i va«
niflied for ever ; and the mod fliocking
enormities were committed by both.
^ In the begfnning of 1792, the National
AfTembly Tent three civil commilfionerc
to reOore peace and fubordi nation in the
ifland, and publifli this repeal ; but
their fubfequent proclamation of gene-
ral amncfty was deeply refented by the
whites : they were but ill-received, and,
having no troops to fupport their au-
thority, they returned feparately to
France within three months. ^The ^«
gi/latrve Aflembly paflTed, April 4,
1792, a new decree, acknowledging
and <^ec!aring an equality of political
rights to the people of colour, free Ne-
groes, and Whites, and fent over three
new commiffioners, Santhonax, Polve-
rel, and Ail baud, to in force it. They
landed at Cape St. Francois, Sept. 13,
1792, and fent home Gov. Blanche-
laode, who was guillotioed April fol-
lowing. They ^n after fell out a*
mong themfelves, and prevailed os

he refifled their orders as long as he
could, and, on his retreat to the fliips^
a Negro chief, with upwards of 3000
of the re folted" (laves, entered the town,
and began a general maOacre, while
the Mulattoes intercepted the flying
Whites. The flaughter having conti*

pcrfcftly concede to Mr. W. The
great danger is, that they may tranfport
wurm tempers beyond due boundsn and
expofc them to temptation and to cito-

Mr; W. takes a view of the inade-

nitore 1 the chief defcAl of the religious
fjrftem of ihc bulk of profeffed Chrif-
tiant, in what regards our Lord Jefus
Chrift and the Holv Spirit ; the ufe of
the paflFions in religion ; the prevailing
inadequate conceptions concerning the
niture and ftri6lnftrs of praAical Chrif-
tianity ; the excellency of Chriftianity
in feveral important particulars i and
the proof of its divine origin thence re-
fultlhl^. The generally-prevailing er-
ror is, fubfUtuting amiable manners and
ufeful lives in the pUce of relijgion, as
compenfating for the want oAhe fu*
Sreme fear and love of God. Here
woulJVau's and Sterne's txquifite fimfi*
hUttj are properly touched. Some other
grand defers in the pra^^ical fyftem of
the hulk of nominal ChriAians are, in-
adequate fear of Ood \ inadcquite fcnfe
of the difficulty of gettiep to Heaven ;
want of love of God, and of our fellow-
~ creatures; the ilage, and the ri(k, at
leaft, of eternal hippinefs to tbofe who
perform in theatrical exhibitions ; neg«
leA of the peculiar doctrines of Chrii-
tianitVp and of " looking unto Jefus.'*
He then enouires briefly into the pre-
fent ftate of Chrifti^ity m this country, '
witti fome of the caufes which have led
to its critical circumftanscs. The de-
cline of Chriftianity among us is a-
(cri))ed to the ftate of tranquillity and
ea(e enjoyed by its profelTors ^ the neg-
left of folennn feafons^i its bung re-
duf:ed to a fyflem of ethics, by the pre-
.valence of^ novels ; falfe idea, that Chrif«
tiai)tty is too ftrift to be praftifed ; vital
Chjiftiaqity a^poliqcal bene6t, and nqc
hoftile to patrTotifm. A very juft com-
pliment is paid to Lord Ken'yof for his
effbns in fupport of Virtue, <)nd difcour
rk^ement of Vice ; while Dr. Robert-
ion is as jnflly cenfured for his inatten-
tion to Religion in his writings. The
Author concludes with practical hints
to various defcription& of perfons ; ad-

uniting intercfting f^oiies with judi-

in ark, that the language is elegant, and
(he publication free from thoic inaccu-

A TRIP TO P A R i S. (CoatnueJ Jrom p. 365.;
^)Q(^)|||^^ESSIN'S hotel is En^lifh pecrefs'^ left 2000I. in hi*
^i^ thought to be the motl
j5 fxbcnfive in Europe.
^ D « It if inHee^d itfelf a
^ jSt town : it contains
l^Wikm^ ^qoares. .Ijev,, gar-
dens in protunon, and
inDumerable offices* It is furnifhed
With (hops of almoft every denomina-
tion ; and the wants of a traveller mull
be very numerous if they cannot all be
fupplied in it. Workmen and artificers
of all kinds are maintained in it. Def-
iin, indeed, monopolizes almod every
thing in Calais. Jie biiys up all the
wo#d thu i& burnt in the town ; and
lie has the choice of all the piovifions
vhich the neif^hbourhood c^n fupply.
With thefe advahia^cs it might be tx*,
pe^ed that h s wealth was prodigious.
But, to fiKceed in a great multiplicity
-of pHirfuirs demands greater powers
than are allowed to one man. The
inind that grafps too m^ny (.b)e£(s caa-
not pay ^ due attention to them all«
Befides, monopoly is generally, and
the intereft of focie'iy demands that it
fliottld be, its own punifhmenr. Hence
DtCTin, inftcad of amatiing riches by
his compi^heniive fyHem, has only
drawn upon himfelf the execration of
Che tradng part of his fellow-citteens :
and, as a mutual dependence lakes
place between the various orders of (o-
cietjr, fuch a c6mbination as mud be
formed againf^ him cannot fail of being
in the hi^heH degree prejudicial to his
intereft. Whatever t(fc6t thefe caufes
imiy produce, certain it is that he, not
long ago, became a bankrupt. But
ilis (ituaiion did not efcape the notice
handv. However this'may have been,
he was re inflated in his hotel \ and he
is now as ihowy and afpiring as before.
Among the nbjefls of luxury in this
wonderful building is a neat and con-
venvent theatre. It was po«if dark, and
the wine began to lofe its relifli; we,
therefore, determined to go fb the
p ay. In this we fubmitted to the^e-
ner^l cuf^om of the country, in which
a pl'tyhoufe is always crowded on a
Sunday evening.
^* On apprerd A heurler, dit Pautrr, avcc
Ics loups." . .
Crffuifts ma? debate on the propriety of
this ccfndu£t. We went to the theatre
w:th intentions as pure as if we had been
walking on the ramparts of the town.
Dillon's regiment, then quartered ia
Calars, greatly contributed to fill the
hottfe, and their red uniforms to adorn
it. With ooe of the officers, who «vat
a polite and well-informed man, and
who h^d ferved in the Weft Indies du-
ring the late w<r, I entered into an
8)!reeablc and profi:able conVerfation,
and attended but little to the play,
which was bur indifferently performedf.

A TRIP TO P A R i S. (CoMtUutJ Jrom p. 365 J
^)(|(^)^^ESSIN'S hotel is Englifh pecrefs'^ le'c 2000I. in
thought to be the moll
w i-fc jS exttnhvc in Europe.
^ ^ *^ It is \ti^t€A itfclf a
tK ?5t towTj : it contains
dens m profunon, and
innumernble offices, it is furnifhed
With (hops of almoft every denomina-
tion ; and the wants oF a traveller niufl
be very nurrterous if they cannot all be
fupplied in it. Workmen and artificers
of all kinds are maintained in it. Def-
iin, indeed, monopolizes almoft every
thing in Cifais. Hk buys up alt the
\vo*d th^it is burnt in the town ; and
lie has the choice of all the provifions
•which the neighbourhood c^n fupply.
With thefe advabiai^es it might be ex>
pe^ed that hs wealth was prodi^^ious.
But, to fucceed in a great multiplicity
of purfuits demands greater powers
than are allowed to one man. The
n^ind that gr^fps too m^ny (ib)e£^s caa«
not pay ^ due attention to them all.
Befides, moDOpoiy is generally, and
the intereft of focicfty demands that it
fiiottld be, its own puniflimenr. Hence
Dtflfin, inilead of amalling riches by
his comp«henfive lyHem, has only
drawn upon himfclf the execration of *he morning was \o hue a chaife for
hi«
hands. However this may have been,
he was re inflated in his hotel \ and he
is now as fiiowy and afpiring as before.
Among the obje6^s of luxury in this
wonderful building is a neat and con-
venient theatre. It was pow dark, and
the wine bejjan to lofe its relifii ; we,
therefore, determined to go fb the
p ay. In this %ve fubmit^ed to the j^c-
neri.1 cuAom ef the country, in which
a pl'iyhottre is always crowded on a
Sunday evening.
** On apprerd A heurler, dit Taufre, avec

Crffuifts ma? debate on the propriety of
this conduct. We went to the theatre
wtrh intentions as pure as if we had been
walking on the ramparts of the town.
Dillon's regiment, then quartered io
Calars, greatly contributed to fill the
houfe, and their red uniforms to adorn
it. With oee of the officers, who was
a polite and well-informed man, and
who h^d ferved in the Weft Indies du.

fuch a combination as mud be
formed again (\ him cannot fai! of being
in the hi^heft degree pr^'judici^l to his
intereft. Whatever effedt thefe caufes
may produce, certain it is that he, not
long ago, became a bankrupt. But
bis (ituaiion did nor efcape the notice
of Government. Such was the fplen-
dour of his eftabliOimenc, and fuch
'vere theconveniencci which it offered
to foreigners, that a confiderable fum
of money was lent him free of inteied.
It ii faid alfo, that a late celebrated

in their medical qualities from the
ieftgth of time they were keptj llut,
at medicines were getting very fcarce,
we hid no choice. As I do tfot rneaa
in this epiitlie to enter inio any theoritt
refpe£iing the caufe of Dyfentery,
whether it may be conddered as a fe*
ver attended with a peculiar dctermi*
nation to the bowe)t, or whether it
may be fuppofed to originate frbm bile^
or any other colle£^'on of offending
matter, in the fyftem, which, whea
conveyed to the bowels, may occaTioa
the incrrafed action of 4he inteAines*
and coi)ftri£\ion, which takes place at
a particular period of the difeafe, or if
it proceeds fiom marlh cfluvia, I will
not pretend t<i fjy, although I am fii-
clineii to think the latter hat bcfffi
the ciufe here, and that the othert
are only the efFe6(s of that caufe^
bat this evil will foon be removed, is
the humane and worthy Lieutenant-
governor King has caufed a drain to
be cut, which will carry off the Mag-
nate water. Contrary to every other
obferv-itton, the Oyfentery has pre-
vailed here mod in. our winter; and
when we hive had the mod rainy wea*

as I intend to avoid theories as much
as poffible, I ib^ll, therefore, only re-
late the fymptoms of the difeafe, and
the effects of medicioe* adminiftercd
for the cure of it. The patients, when
firfl feiaed, complained in general of
very fevere cutting paiot about the

I SHOULD not hare troubUd you

Paiue's cpiHle. Confiftcncy is that
aicBe wh ch can render a peifon truly
rel^e^tebie; ii frequently cxciccs our
grcfs, Mr. Paine hiid undoubtedly an
opportunity of examining the moral
chara^er aed military (kill of General
Waihmgton. The relulc of Aich in*
veftigation \% evident from th«r Dedica-
tion of the Firft Part of the Rights of
Man, and from hit Letter to the Abb^-
Raynal. In the former he avows, that
the exemplary virtue of the American
prefidebt eminently contributed to efta-
blifli the principles of freedom*. la
the latter, that the enterprise again ft
Trenton was not the accidental, but
mediuted,obje^of Gen. Walbingtonf •
In the one, he prayi that the Righte
of Man may become at univerfal as hit
patron's benevolence can wifli ; in the
other he affirms, that the Americans,
by a ^appy Aroke of gtMtraHbip^ de«
ranged all the plans of the Britilh, and
obliged them to clofe the campaign.
Such were the fentimentt which ob-
tained Mr. Paine numerous partizane
in the year i79e. But, \n the prefcnt
year, his opinion it changed : ** he
thinks it time to fpeak the undifguifed
language of hiftorical troth ;" he there-
fore aflkics, in hit piefent letter, **thar,
without the aid of France, the cold'
and unmilitary conduct of Gen. Walh-
iogton would, in all probability, have'
loU America ; that he flept away his
time till the finances ot nis country
were completelf exhaufted ; and that,
elevated to the chair uf prelidcocy, he
aifuined the meiii of every thing to
Inmiclf, aud the natural ingratitude of
his character began to appear |." Had
Mr. Paine forgotten his own account

propriety of the weight affiKsed fo ibe

DouDced io Folkes't Tables of £iip;liili

finding the pound Troy loHw esprcffly
mentioned in foitic of the indencures,
particularly in that of the 5th of Ed*
ward IV. which £he indenture of tfae
ift of Richard III. is faid to be like.
It alfo appears to me to hare been in-
tended in the indenture of the iSth of
Richard 11.
The verdi£( relating to the coina|^
of the 30th of Oaober, 18 Hen. VI 11,
cannnt, I ihould imagine* ctUbliib the
cx:lulive ufe of the Tower pound at
the mint from the Conqueft to that
period, in contradi£^ion tu the lodco*
ture. If Lowndes has copied them
incorre£^ly, and introduced the pound
Troy %vhcrc he did not tind it in tfae

founded upon it, may be eafily cor-

I greatly queftion whether the So-

to his opinion, of the gieat improba-

into dieir "book, I had urged their ba-
"ving engraved Mr. White's pennies of
Richard I, which Mr. Lafkey hmnfelf
bad acknowledged to be counterfeits.
I was fomewhat at a lofs to conjecture
in what manner he would account for
this inftance of dimnefs in -their micro~
fcopic eyes, when, to my aftonifhment,
he replied, that the fpurioufnefs of the
coins was, as he believed, not difco-
vered till long after the Antiquaries
baok was publiflied. Whether he in*
tended by this defence to prove ihe
impoflibility of their being deceived in
€o\xn of Richard HI. becaufe they ha'l
been fo in ihufe of Richard I. or what
was his precife meanings I am unable

AGREEABLE to tiie requeft of
Philo, p. 171, I fend this ac-
count of the medal of Cromwell which
he enquires after.
In tne year 1773 a new Magazine
was publilhed, ciiicU The bentimental ;
and with the hrll numbeis of which
w<is given to the purciiafers « medal of
fome remarkable petlun \ aiLob^tt lUe
refl, the king, queen. Lord Camden^
Mr. Wilkes, Alderman Beckford,
Marquis of Granby^ &c. ; and this of
Cromwell was one of the nuro«'
ber. The error in fpelling the name
Oiivitfr was noticed in the Tall page of
Odober Magazine, 1773. There were
filver medals alfo ftruck monthly ia
the fame dies, and fome of them dif*
tributed as priaes to the correfpondenta
who had fent the bed pieces in the
preceding month. This of Cromwell
was copied, perhaps, by Mr. Kirk from
a coin of his of the date of 1658.
Much has been faid of late on pro*
vincial tokens, many of which, it muft
be confefTed, are very beautiful ; and
I have referved one of a fort of more
than 100. But, after all, I think we
could 'have done very well without
them ; for, with the genuine kinds
and . the counterfeits, the country ia
deluged with too much copper cur«
rency ; and it is much to be wiibed
that a new coinage of copper was or*
dered by Government, either at the
Tower or at Mr. Bolton's, and all the
others fappreffed.
Your coriefpondent B. p. 190, has
favoured us with fome very judicious
remarks on the confequences of (bme
naval medals; in addition to which
may it not be aiked, if any of th^ dol-
lars now in circulation had their waf
to Spain again, whether the impref-
iion of our foveieign's buft, ftruck on
tbe neck of the king of Spain, may not
ofiend both that king aad people deep-
ly, as it may be deemed a defigncd af-
front, and intimate a very high fupe-
riority ? Would it not have been bet-
ter if tbe punch had been Aruck on tne
plain pait of the dollar, a little diftance
from the head ? The Spaniards, I be-
lieve, are not much picafied with their
piefent coaditioo or connexions ; and
any thing that looks like a deligned
affront fhould be avoided, as they and
we may be goud friends again ; and
1 hope 11 may be Toon, if lor no other
reafon, (or the benetit of trade.
B. S. p. 336, recommends barrel-
organs in village-churches ; and i can

his wife and father executor and exe-
cutfix to his eflfe^s. While his wife
remained a widow ihe alfo paid iote-
ren for the faid lool. ; and, after her
fecoad iparriagey her fecond and pre
J*ni hufband did the fame, and fre-
>.ienr(y acknowledged himrelf refpon-
ble to pav the principal. But now lie
flatly refufei to pay either principiit or
iiitereft. One of the reafona he alfigns
is, that the Society is not legally in-
roiled ; and tbe oth'^r it, that his pre-
deceffor lent the above money in hi«
Iife-iime to his own father (inentri-tned
before), and that the ft^wards init>ht
apply 10 hjm for it. This has been
dene, and payment refufed by him al-
fo, as he fays that he had nbc the mo-
ney directly from the Society; and
that there is an account unfettied be-
tween him and his fon*s wife, whofe
prefent hulband has 6led a biil in
Chancery ai^aind him for the rec^ivery
thereof. (I cannot fee what plea he
can have for dninf; this unlefs he had
firft paid the money into the flewardt
hands.) So the matter remains in
i'ufpcnce, and the Society are in great
vaeafmers about it, and do not know
how to proceed.
Having now, Mr. Urban, I fear.
ther deafer, will probably be extended
to an infinjte variety. As thefe will,
no doubt, be interchanged for tlie pur-
pofe of accommodating colIeCtorSi^ they
may polTib!y be induced, therefore, to
take the hint I fuggefted of contenting
themfelres with one impreflion front

it not only made it's appearance in the
pnblicatiocf referred te b? CiTis, but
feparately, with Tome little alteration.
The bringing together into your wide-
ly-extending Public4ti>>n everv thing
that occurs on this rubje6(, wilt be the
means of affording colle6^ort opportu-
nhiesof underftandtng the fubjedt bet-

lieTert that the engravings were not
fac-&iii1es of the oiiginal } and did
they not from the moment of publica-
tion begin to fmell a rat, and feel a lit-
tle hurt at their own credulity } Was
not the equivocal and often-Taried tale
of the difcoTcry of the papers fufficient to
fiajgger, in the 6rft inftanee, ' men not
diipofed to be duped by the prefumption
of their own difcemment ? Bodley and
Cotton, Harley and Sloane, were the
{j^lliQnn of lyianufcripts, not the Difi
comers of them • and. \lfere there ever fo
many fpurious papen in their coliec
prince of Tyre, and others which have
long fince been abjudicated from Shak-
fpeare ? The Apologift is of opinion,
that fraud cannot be overdone. *« The
variety and number of papers give ad-
ditional authority to the general pre-
fumption, by lelTeoiog the poffibility <if
fraud." This new doarine in favour
of Forgeries has wanted but fliort cx«
perience to contradift ir. What fol-
lowed in the fecond period after publi-
cation ? «• The Believers were now
furniflied with the means, which they
before wanted, of carrying their g;cnent
reafonings into minute intpe6^ion % and
many were convinced by that infpeaiov,
«Jd6f/r#v#i/HoilORE.*' Whence this
tions', they and their depofitaries leave fudden converfion > Arofe it from the
the detcdion to others, whofe province
it is to decide on fuch queflions. What
will the Apologift fay, what will pro-
found Antiquaries fay, to a late deter*
mination of one of the Law courts, that
a MS. that has not maintained its place
an the proper Record-office is not to be
admitted in evidence, even wher^ con-
iidcrable property depends on it ?
Will he lay thaif legal evidence is
changeable, and that evidence in the
Court of Criiicifm is alone immutable }
Admit 'that fragments of Shakfpeare
might probably come to light, and more
in number than Mr. M. had rummaged
out, are we to admit as fragments a
chell full of complete pieces, of plays
and parts of plays, of letters, of con-
feftions, and a long &c. ? It is pretty
Vrell known what remains of Milton,
whoKved fo much nearer our own times,
or what hope of diicovering more of his
writings arc entertained by his mod en-
thufiaitic admirers. Would not Mr.
Bollis have gone on a Waltingham pil-
grim age, to vifit a few lines of that great
Patriot ? and would he have deigned to
have caft on any of them that bore the
want of fair, free, and full inf'pe£lton and

fmg far fuperior to that infolence thst too
generally accompanies opftart coofequenco

particular propriety in addrefling myfeif to
you, who have been a witnefs of that ma*^

in fo much oenfore and diftrsfs. Tho

Aill hope that, from 'a generous pubUck,
my cafcy when known, may plead Ibnne
favour. At prefent, the leind notice of
yourfcrlf and fome of the firft chandlers of
the kingdom enables me to look down
with proper indifference on the inft4ts and
injuries of little minds, equally incapable
of doing or applauding a liberal action. It
is, therefore, with peculiar pleafore that I
avail myfeif of this occafion to declare with
what unfeigned refpefl," Jcc &c
The preacher, from Prov. iir« 34,
enforces the duty of reformation: The
fins he points at are infidelity, demi-
atheifm, contempt of government, chiift
of gain, and increafing luxury.
Without being acquainted with the
circumdaoces of Mr. H's cafi, we feel
ourfelves inclined to fympathife with a
man of his merit, and wifli him an am-
fde lift of fubfcribers to the three vo«
umes of fermons which he offers for
pmi guintm.
We fear Mr. H. is now out of the
reach of worldly relief.

Or bent the. willow bnugh.
From flank to flank ihe horfes neigh.
And hail the new-born day j

Tuey roufe from rank to rank ;
Now, bulile, buftle, is tlie word.
And girding fabres clank.
Now mount ! now mount 1 tliey vault at

And firmly feated were j
Theu- flcry ileeds now fnort and prance»
And fnufFthe ambient air ;
With fpeed (lieir thick embodied ranks
They fill, and march away ;
On every i»-'e a plundered cor.
Or ranfackM vilLige, lay.
Beneath whofe hedge whole huddUiy
groups
Of naked children creep;
Around the walls where once they fraii'df
Their f»rlnri» parents weep.
UitheeJing pafsM fiicfi fjcoes asthcfe.
The new-i aisM graves they paft,
Where many a g illant Briton lay.
There fought and brcatliM his laft.
But, Inrk ! deilru(5tive thunden roar,
Now trembles all the iky )
The ho'fes ftart, and iLake tliro' fear;
Ni>w whizzing bullets Ay.

An ambu(h rife to gall;
