THE 489 ih GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE, For J UsN’ B:; 1802. i rd Mr, Unsan, ' June 2 MK HE STATE may be 4 » compared to a wheel. x To be a machine of u utility we nee : > quence, there mu HE ORR: exit a have or com- mon point for every fubjeét's gene+ ral intereft to concentrate in, and every fubject may be confidered as a {poke poffeiied of a particular intereft in ‘his own felloe. Laws; like fivikes, compact al] together; and a crown is the proteCing and ernamental finith of the axle-tree box. The ule; ftrength, durabi- lity, and impottance, of the. ma- chine, depends on the exa& union and proper arrarigement of its.com- ponent parts. If time, defign, or accident, deftroys; difplaces; © ar caufes any one of thefe to encroach ' upon avother, the whole machine falls to pieces; and becames @ con- fufed and infignificant heap of rub- bith.. Into this, condition fell. the defcendants of {thmdel; and in their fate: appeared the veriftcatiot of two.divine decrees; the one fa+ yoorable to, Hhmael.and his pofte+ rity; and the other contrariwife, The contolatory promife beftowed on Ithmael from on high at the time of. his.expulfion from He+ ‘bron was fulfilled; be ended his lite im profperity, and beeame the father of a numerous, and indepen- dant but ungivilized people. By marrying the daughter of Modad, king of the Jorbamites, he became fovereign of Al Hejas ;' a kingdom extending aloug the Eaftern thore of the RedSea, from the ifthmus of Suez ta the kingdom of Ya- men; comprehending the wif./er- neffes (or more ee? defarts) of Kedeth, Paran, and Sinai ; and in- cluding » the fires whereon shave fue been erected the cities of Me- dina and Mecca: «In this fove for ~ their idolatry ; the confequences of which malediction ‘have - been}; however, :{armounted in the: lapfe of ages, fo.far as regards popula+ tion, though i‘ the glory of the tents of Kedar” has never been:re- ftored, for, according to the re+ ports of travellers, the appearance of a’ Bedouin, or Arab >camp, is nedrly fimilar to“ that of. a Gipfey one: in, England ; faving, that. the Bedwins are obliged to: keep-and carry about muely dive ftock~ for eating; whereds our’ Gipfies -cah provide themfelves ‘with what: they want iv that way at other people's coits, wherever they come. Deftitute . ot a common tocus forthe interefts of individaals to concentrate in, deftitute of a chief magiffrate to- form a paint of genera} adherenco, deftitute of appropriated landed property “to induce fettled refi+ dence, and deftitute of laws to bind them in one compa¢t. commu+ nity, the Ifhmaelite-Arabs have remained for ages like to an un+ bound trufs of fttraw in the mid of a wide: plain, expofed to every hurricane,

[June, hurricane, and liable to be difperfed by ftofms ‘towards every quarter of the globe.” Hence, forme of them have been blown by the tempefts of war into “Europe (fee p. 291), even as far North as Denmark and Siberia; and perhaps others “of them may have been impelled as far South as Hindoftan, and may there have introduced fome of their words and-cuftoms among the Su- ders, the only caft of the Hindoftans that was likely to hold any inti- mate communication with them. It feems infinitely more probable, that Arabs may have wandered to Hindoftan than that Suders fhould have roamed to Europe, feeing that it is the unalterable difpofition of the former to rove ; whereas, it has ever been a fixed. principle with all the Indians never to de- ‘part from their own country ; and in this-point no beings upon earth ean pofiibly be more oppotite than ate the Indians and. Arabians. Be- fides, Hindoftan is a rich country, and the greater part of Arabia is fierile ; and it is more natural for people to fly from a ftarving dif- tri@:than from a ‘plentiful one. Some fimilarity « between the Suders and the’ Arabs may alfo be accounted for by .confidering ‘the trading intercourfe. that -was carried on in very early times between Egypt, Arabia, and Hin- doftan ; and as Arabia was the in- termediate country between. the other two, and the infitious Arabs fo fond of travelling, it is likely: ‘enouglr that they might be the principal catriers of the commodi- _ ties exchanged between the three countries ; in like manner as a par- ty of. them were carrying goods into t when Jofeph was about being being buried by his brethren in the pit. The facred writers fay that Ifhmael’s:wife was an Egyp- tian; but this contrariety to the af- fertions of the heathen hiftorians may be reconciled, by fuppofing that,..as the North-weft corner of Al Hejiz adjoined to Egypt, it is poiiible that Moles and Jofephus might regard the Jorhamites inhae biting ‘that part of " Al Hejag as Egyptian Lorderers, efpecially as in that part lay the wildernefs of Pa- ran, wherein Ifhimael was roving as an archer when Hager procured him the jorhamite princefs in mar- riage. Although ithmae! had, ‘ac- cording to the commandment ‘of God given to Abraham, undergone the ceremony of circumcifign, yet through the concurrent circum- cumftances of his youth at the time of banifhment, and of his new connexions being-idolators, he feems to have loft all the know- ledge of the true God that had beew communicated to him by his fa- ther, and to have bred his children in idolatry ; in which darknefs his pofterity continued till Mahomet converted them to Mahometifm ; which is ftill the profeffed religion of the Arabs, and ‘was probably the religion of the firft Gipfies that entered Europe; although the .pe- culiar circumftances they were un- der neceflitated them to conceal it, and to affect the different religions of the countries they-fought refage in; but, not. being properly -in- firaGted at firft in the ‘princi- ples. of any one of the religions they would have adopted, the me- lancholy. confequence has. been, that the dcfeendants of the. firtt Gipfies are not really’ of any reli- gion at all, notwithftanding they perfift in the affectation of being zealous Catholics. in the Catho- lic States, and firm Proteftants in England? They fometimes require our country. parifh priefts to perform the rites-of baptifm, “ marriage, and: burial, for indivi- duals of their gangs, and behave themfelves decently on fuch-occa- fions ; yet I believe: that they much oftener difpenfe with than require the performance of religious rites, and that the majority of them both enter the world and go out: of it without the clergy knowing any- thing of fuch events happening a- mong them. It is faid, that they do not either in their marriages or ainours 4

The charge of devouring children has alfo been alledged againft Gip- fies as well as againft Jews, but I teally believe equally unjufily. Perhaps it arofe from the: peculiar appetite that.

When his Lordthip. found it expedient to call on the Britith inhabitants of the city of Calcutta to ferve as a militia for the defence and protetion of that metro- polis, an option was given to thofe who preferred ferving as cavalry to enroll theinfelves as fuch, and hence originated this corps fo jufily.celebrated for its loyalty, zeal, and perfeétion.

N a late tour to London, having rambled amongft the new buildings, that cover The Duk? of Bedford's Long‘ Ficlds, as I once knew them called, my, eye was arrefted by fomething. like a religious ftruéture, in the mpft fingu- Jar kind ‘of architeftuse that 1 ever be- : buttref§ up.a facade, being cap held. In thort, Sir, I perceive itis the fame ‘erection that your correfpondent Paweras has given afketch of, p. 409. He iniorms as that it isa Gothic chapel, by which épithet thé poitrted architee- tare of ouraticeftors is vulgdrly denoted ; and he affirms, that its “ windows, battlements, and minute ornamients, aré chafte imitations.” I wifi, Sir, he had acquainted us with the némeé of the Arehiteéct who colteced thefe imitations and put thém together, as likewife with the originals from ‘which they are co- pied. Should f, indeed, be referred to the villas in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, where our citizens exercife their undoubtéd right 6f building for themfelves ag they pleafe, and are ac- cullomed to term every architectural whim, which is not redueible to any order or rule whatfaever, ¢hke Got/zec Adyle, Tam not qualified to deny that authorities may. be produeed for the feveral fingularities under confideration.

Thus much, I think, wil] hardly be quetiioned by any mag of intelligence, ihat it is to the ere- dentials of the Architect in queftion, pariicularly thofe which» have been publifhed by the Society, the Literati of future ages will refort in order to learn how the maflerpieces of our Na» tional Architeéture, as | have already called them *, were conftructed, when the originals fhal! be no more, and how they are to be rebuilt, fhould there every be found talte and munifi- cence enough for the undertaking. I now look back, Mr. Urban, te the concerns of another of mv old ace quaintances and a. former antagonift, Poor Di: Geddes; who to unquettion; able talents and learning added many goal qualities, is neverthelels very truly deferibed, in your Obituary, ag haying co-operated with the author of all evil, by his irreligious writings, particularly by thole which under:nine the authority of Haly Writ. This po- fition, .fo felf-evident to evers. Chit tian, has been flatly denied iv p. 312. But, by: whom. has it been denied? By the very author of evil in queftion ; viz. by Sata himfelf, under his own name, who propounces a panegyric on the virtue of Dr. Geddes, difclaims all acquaintance with him, and teftj- fies, on the eredit’of his own veracity, and the oaths of his inferior demons, that the deceafed is not come into’ his dominions, on the contrary, that he is gone to heaven.. But, moft certainly, fir, your new corref{pondent either is an- .impofigr, that is to fay, no devil at all, ‘geeded, if it has been equalled ; and he aia * 40 It is much to be withed,” favs*the aathor of the account of Derh +m Cathedral, in the-late fplendid.work-of the Secietyvof Antiquaries, “ thar the word Gorbic thoutd no longer, be wfed in: fpeaking of the architecture of England fram the 13th to the 16th jcentury.

Marin, formerly a profeifor in the Univerfity of Paris, in fome fhape or other, ‘revoke a great part of his irreligidus tenets. 1 fear the retractation was not futficiently ample and explicit to @alm the folicitude of his true friends ; but it was certainly faficient to add another infiance to that of Voltaire, and fo many other freethinkers, who, in circumfiances of ‘great danger, have proved the infincerity of their oppofition to Revelation.

Ao journal of weather, with which: your: correfpandent has ~pbliged the publick, is very curious, and compleatly fatisfies me, that the old on the 16th and-17th of May laft exceeded anv thing in the memory of man, at fo advaneed a period of the fimmer; biit'thouch he cives in ge- neral terms the deftruétive effeéts af the froft, vet I conceive the peculiar and partial manner in which the mifchief has been done, at leaft in our neigch- banrhood, is a fubje& of great curio- ‘fitv: and, T hope, will excite the at- tention of fome af your learned corre: fpondents, fo-as to furnifh vs with an ‘ gxplanatign of what myfelf and fome friends with whom I have communis cated are unable to account for. In the vale, that is upon the low lands, the leaves of the oak and ath were univerially cut off, and the blof- foms of the apple trees (which were never more abundant) compleatly de- firoved ; but on the high grounds thefe mifetiefs were not produced. The fa occurred particularly to my obferva~ tion during laft week, in the road. be- tween this place and Bitiol. For the firft twenty miles, which is low. and with a.very few except ons level, the trees beforementioned were completety deprived of their. leafy honours, and the bloifoms gone, but as T began to mount an ‘acclivity of the road which leads to the high grounds aboye Thorn- bury, I was firuck with the motley ap- pearance of thetrees. Among the firlt, a tuft of green appeared on the top branches, which gradually increafed till my arrival at thé fummit, when, for a courfe of feven miles, not a leaf ei+ ther of the oak, ath, or bloffom of the apple, appeared to have been affeéted by the froft, but all were in full ver- dure and bloom, as if no unufugl oc- currences had taken place in the tem- perature of the feafon. The fame ob- fervations were made to me by a far- mer on the Weftern fide of Gloucefier, where the trees had heen affected in the fame partial degree, and, according to the elevation of the fpot, the apple trees have a proportionable fhare of fruit. In one parifh, on the South fide of the city, which happens to be fkirted by a very high hill, the farmers of the vale portion will have no ofe at all for their cyder mills in the enfuingaatumn, while thofe who occupy the eminences will experience a greater abundance than in thelaft plentiful year.

Mr. 'Tur- ner, ina Memoir inferted-in the fourth volume of the Tranfaétions of the American Philofophical ‘Society, in- forms us. that a confiderable depofit of them has been lately difcovered in South Carolina. He is of. opinion, that the various bones which have been fuppofed to belong to this animal ought to be referred to ¢wo diftinet fpe- cies, one carnivorous, the other herbi- vorous. The parts which mark the re- mains of a fecond fpecies are, a grin- der exclufivelv belonging to granivorous and herbivorous animals, and the tufks ditferently fathioned. Mr. T. thinks that both thefe fpecies of incognita have long fince perifhed. From fome Indian traditions, jomed to the un- common appearances at the Great Bone Lick, he is inclined to believe that the Mammoth united to his un- common bulk and ftrength the agility of the tiger. In the fame volume of Tranfactions, Thomas Jefferfon, ef. hasa paper on tke difeovery of certain bones of a quadru- ed of ‘the clawed kind at ‘Greenbriar, in the Weftern parts of Virginia; whence he ‘infers the exiftence of an animal fi- large; which he denoniinates Megalo- “nvx, or the Great Claw. “Three claws ‘of one: foot, whether fore or hinder is not evident, One of thefe animals was fee 1770 by a huntefon the Kanhawa.

At’ ote gaze I took-in the three altars, the five ailes, the doots entering into the cathedral, the windows on the fide, and the openwotked timber roofs, of this chapel. This happy utiion was heightened by that devotionary. gleam which ever renders féenes like thefe fo highly tranfporting ; it was when the fin ta zou; and day’s fading fhew leaves in the mind a wide field for ferious me- ditation: From the South-weft « an- gle of this chapel I made another tketch.

496 Mr. Carter’s Defcription of Durham Cathedral. [June, down its hiftorie portion. Let us recallto our minds that day when the baie of Durham was fought ; when the king of Scots dared its very walls; when Queen Philippa in{pired by her prefence Eng- lifhmen to conquer orto die; when thole heroes, the. Nevils and the Percys, fhielded her facred perfon ; when the great and good Hatfield, bearing in one hand a cro{s and in the other a iaul- chion, led on the mighty. hofts to at- chieve immortal deeds of arms. Then Jet us remeuber how they won that baleful confli@, and fee. them return- ing triumphant to the Cathedral, there to offer up their prayers to Him that gave the victory. They enter the nave in pompous proceflion, pafs-along the North aile 0: the choir, and then en- ter into this chapel as making the re- ligious circuit of the Church previous to their entering into the choir, to ce- lebrate the fervice upon fo brilliant an. occafion. paepeappee + the advanced body are the holy fraterniy them- felves ; next follow the relicks of St. Cuthbert, born by Prior Fotler, which had been carried to the field as pro- pica io England's fafety. Thea be- old the venerable Hatfield, armed now only with the crofs: after him are brought along the trophies of the battle; as. the king of Scots banner, the famous Black Rood of Scotland, taken out of Holyrood houle, to en- fure fuccefs in this his invafion ; with other banners and arms of the van- quifhed lords and knights. Now look upon the lovely Heroine, the thrice il- laftrious Confort to the Third Edward ; fee on her golden helm an Angel as her crefi, emblematic of her heavenly mind ; fee the avenging fword, fatal to facrilegious foes, fee how it darts terror from her fieel-clad arm; her fhining cuirafs dazzles our enraptured fight; fomething more than morial ele- vates her diyine mien; her eyes, her foul, feem all afcending in adoration to the Moft High, for glory and for conqueft gained. Her fupporters are the Archbifhop of York and the two Nevills. How endlefs is the train of warriors !; They march on, and are fill fucceeded by their equals in patriotic virtue. The captive King next appears, in downcaft guife. He moves heaven- ly along: Shame and rémorfe alone cover his difhonoured head ; his hel- met, fword, and mace, are held re- verfed before him, as indelible marks of his compleat overthrow. His remam- ing watriours drag alike the galling chain, more dreadful to high-born minds when fubdued, than even Death itfelf. . The fcene clofes, and 1 with- drew me from a fane where I have not been a heedlefs vifitor. I have made my purchafe, endeavoured by my attempts tofiay a raging fire, which, if not quite extinguifhed, is yet got under, under the deliberation of returning veneration for the hol lace ; and T have received my reward, in the idea that I have done the caufe of Antiquity that fervice, which, as a true and profetfed Antiquary, I am bound by Royal Charter moll difinte- refedly to perform. It is more than probable, from the late decifion given in the Society of Anitiquaries (p. 466), that there will be no augmentation made to their annual fubfcription, &c.; and, from the fentimenis delivered by a few on that oceafion, inafmuch as our Cathe- drals are works of but little intereft, and deferving only of a flight illuftra- tion; the laft publication by them of Duruam Cathedral may prove my laft employ of this nature, although I have by the Council's orders taken the fketches of WELLs and GLoucESTER Cathedrals, the drawings for the latter being in great forwardnefs. Why a certain part of this Learned Bod fhould on every occafion rife to protet their averfion and enmity to fuch pub- lications, and to the ftruétures them- felves, many are at a lofs to account for. . With me the caufe is very ob- vious: I fee no myftery. Thefe wor- thy Members, no doubt, have their reafons for what they fay. Weighty they may be, and not without an end in view. Our Cathedrals, according to the new fyftem, are either to be new decorated, new arranged (not through worldly motives or new principles), or left to their juff deferts, neglect ; decay and ruin of courfe fucceeding. The end with fome is then gained ; and here ends my Durham tale. J.C. Mr. Ursay, June 8.

The pollibility may therefore be admitted: but to carry it into practice will require the united exertions and abilities of the well-difpofal, to plan and devife the means calculated to ex- eile aud encourage labour, to. rezulate the health, and to form and guard the x0rals of thofe who are admitted. if. The fir confderation will be how to provide a fund for the rattitu- tion; and, to merit the confidence of phe public, the {ub{eriptions procured ; i . ought to be lodged in the Bank, or at a bapker's, not to be called for till the amount is fuch as to infure a certainty of fuccefs, and until a committee of gentlemen of credit and charadler have determined to enter on the undertaking. 2d. The fecand is to fix on a fitua- tion fiued to commence the plan: and ag the number of the objeéis may at firlt be fmal!, it would be advifeable to ujake a tyial.on a proportional {cale, to be enlarged as the funds and the applicants increafe, Jt may be objegied, that the place it- felf would be looked upon as a prifon, rather than as a houfe to be fought afier for reform. This impretiion can only be efilaced by having it clearl underfivod, that as thofe who feek ade milion are volunteers, fo they cannot be compelled to remain contrary tq their inclinations; but, while they do continue, they muft firi€ly conform to the rules and regulations prefcribed by the governors; of which they mutt be pepeouily informed, and their affent, efore admillion, be explicitly de- manded, and freely given. The primary aud grand obje@. being to change the propentities of thefe un- fortunate. perfons, from vice and idle- nels to fobricty and induftry, every micans mult be employed to avoid in- flaming the patlions. Temperate re- gimen, mild treatment, productive la- bour, and directing their attention, when unemployed, to proper purfuits, feem to be the likelieft way. to effect this reformation. The diet mutt be well regulated ; forits influence, primarily on the body and ultimately on the mind, is far more extenjive than is generally known. It may be adapted and regu- lated accordivg te the degree of labour and exertion of the individual, and fhould confift of a due proportion of animal and vegetable food.

That this moft eilential part of the plan may be pror perly managed, a total feparation from all intercourfe with thole who are without the walls will be required, until the governors are convineed, by the good condudt of the objecis, that greater indulgences may be allowed.

Whatever, indeed, [ may think of you as.a writer, you cither, deferve fome credit asa prophet, .or you were led by fome accident to choofe a very happy time. for the fubjeét of your fourth paper. You mutt have forefeen that, within a very fhort period, every effort would be made to vindicate the ingenuity of our native covntry in the manufaéture of the articles {pecified in that paper ; and that May and June, the carnival months of Loudon, would exhibit. a blaze of unufual brilliancy en- kindled by a fpirit of rivalfhip, which I hope will prevent thofe emigrations fo much dreaded in confequence of the ce. The event has, I truit, fully anfwered your expectation; and [ fhould have left our fétes; and routs, and balls, and; mafquerades, to the confequence of their own merit, had I not feen it necefiary to obviate fome objeAions, which ignorance or preju- judice has flarted againft them. f Thofe who are inclined to admire the number and fplendour and os of our fétes, and routs, and balls, an njafquerades, and hops, and pic nics, and public breakfafts, and are con- vinced that they are powerful rivals to the glories of Paris (be that city ever fo glorious), err very egregioutly in one particular, im which it is my bounden duty to fet them right, and clear up any mifurderfianding that may inter- cept our, progrefs towards perfection in thofe beady valuable concerns. What I allude to. is, the frequent complaint made of the “ vaft numbers” admitted, or at leaft invited, to our routs, more than the places of rendezvous can con- tain; and the confequent crowding of , carriages, blocking-np of fireets, and endangering of limbs and lives, fo that what Swift faid of familiarity with the great may bgtruly faid of a fafhionable aflembly ; it is ‘‘ vanity” at firf, but ends in ‘ vexation of fpirit.” ‘In anfwer to this, permit me.to_re- mark in the firfi place, that this com- plaint is a remnant of the old way of thinking, of which we muit pofiively get rid before the aufpicious projedis . which we have formed for the advance- ment of national pleafures can be cai- ried into execution. It is founded on she antiquated notion of felf-preferya- [Junéy tion, which is faid. to be one of the, laws of Nature, but which it will ap- pear very abturd to retain at a time when the whole code of Nature’s laws is, by. general confent, repealed, and fearcely even the preambles of any of them are to be found, except in the old and negleéted writings of your pre+ deceflors, But there is another more powerful reafon for abolifhing this law of felf-prefervation, which is, that it interferes with a new edict, intituled the SeugEezinc Act, according to the letter and fpirit of which Me no law has more fpirit) every danger of life and limbs, of decency or difloca- tion, is to be encountered in the pur- fuit of pleafure ; and according to an amendment lately introduced in the fame, it is enaéted, that in all time , henceforward curiosity fhall. be held . and confidered’ as the firft law of, nature. Without, however, accounting for, this complaint fo ferioufly, or anfwer- ing it by fach a pompous difplay of my legal knowledge, . which muft be very dry reading, I thall now point out in , the next place the grofs abfurdities to . which it will lead thofe who. are un-.- happily prejudiced in its favour. “ The inconveniencies,” fay they, “ of fuch immente crowds, are. drawbacks , on the pleafure we fhould otherwite ; receive, and tend to remind us rather of the horrors of war than of the refio- ° ration of peace; for what can have a more. hoftile appearance than the ftra- | tagems we are under the neceffity of practifing, to force the narrow defiles, - and clofe paflages of the fireets, or than the many bloody encounters between , the heads of the vifitors: and the poles of the coaches ?” ; All this is fpecions, but it is in rea- lity.tke prejudice of ignorance; of ig-* norance, » however, i am willing to: believe, not fo deep-rooted but thet a little explanation will fet every thing to rights, and’ convince thofe who offer fuch complaints, that the’ aforefaid. grievances without doors are really and lund’ fide as component a part of the’ inich-envied entertainment as what . pafies within doors. In fact, fir, if you will but confult ; common fenfe, you will fee how pre- potteroutly unfathionable fuch com- plaints are. Without buttle, inconve- nience, and danger, what would: a> rout or a mafquerade be but a tame-fpirited and infipid yifit which»

Can any man who has ever. panied in the circles of fathion, fuppofe that this would fatisfy the givers of routs? No ; they would defpite themfelves, if: they did’ not occafion to their friends an in- credible degree of anxiety and confu- fion in tryimg to get to the plats ap- pointed, andif the did not break the relt of an extended diftri€t. It is this which conftitutes the honour which we exprefs by the word eclat, which althouzh I cannot give a fhort defini- tion of it, my sp letter will have a natural tendency to illuftrate. To humour this prejudice, however, (for there are occafions when it becomes neceflary to yield a little to poplar whims), we have been fometimes told, that * no more tickets would be iffued than the houfe could conveniently hold.” Every perfon of fathion ,per- ceives at once the futility of fuch a re- ulation. It may be propofed in joke ; ut no man would for a moment be deceived by fo clumfy an attempt at wit. In truth, I might as well invite the parfon of the parith and his family to eat a bit of mutton with me at two o'clock, and call my. entertainment a rout. To pretend to invite no more than the houfe can hold, would be a dereliction of the firft principle of eclat, which is, and ever muft be, to try the firength of the walls, the width of the fireets, the ‘expertnels of coachmen whofe horfes cannot moye, and the intre- pidity of ladies who cannot keep from fainting, Dangers muft be provided with liberality and tafie upon Fach oc- cafions, or what will there be to talk about?

But the parlia- ment having extended thele dimenfions by fome late aéts, either confidering that negroes had not the coniiitutions of people of fafhion, or that they were a property of fome value to the owners, this ratio could not be continued ; apd the eftimate is now made according to

Copies were ftruck off for diftribution amongft the Bifhop’s friends; but the topic is _ very interefting and important ; and if you will introduce this ‘ Defence” in the Gentleman’s Magazine, it will be ferving the interefls of true religion, and Chriftian learning. G. G. A Defence of the Ordinations of the Epifcopal Church of Scotland, in Anfwer ta the late Rev. Dr. George ’ Campbell, Profeffor of Divinity, and Principat of the Marifchal Col- lege in Aberdeen. ; Sir, AS the Clergy of the Epifcopal Church of Scotland hold the_neceflity of having a diyine commiffion cbn- , veved from the Apottles, to preach the Gofpel, and difpenfe its Sacra- ments, Dr. Campbell was pleafed to ridicule that doétrine “in a fermon preached’ before the Synod of Aber- deei, 1771. On that fermon the writer of this letter made remarks, and pubjithed them : and becaufe the Doc- tor maintained that the Apoftolic of- fice cealed with the Apofiles’ lives, the Preacher was called upon to thew when, where, aid in what perfon, that misfortune had hajpened, as by the rules of fait reafoning he was bound to do, his being the affirmative fide of the queftion. ut although the- learned Profeffor hath, after a fpace_of 30 years, animadyerted, in his: Eccle- fiaffical Le@tures, upon fome of the re- marks then made, he. has prudentl declined to prove that.the apoftolic of- fice has failed; well knowing, that it was out of his power. to point. out .el- ther the time, ihe place, or the. perfon required. He has, however, again attacked the unfortunate Epifcopal Church of Seotland, and that without . the fmallef{- provocation. In_ that learned gentleman’s work, the venera> ble remains of that antient, refpectable, and decent fociety, friends to peace and order, and to true and undefiled Religion, are caufeleMly reproached, and in fae reprefented as guilty of that enormous crime which made the earth to open miraculoufly, and {wallow up Corah, Dathan, and Abiram, and their company. I. the more chear- fully undertake a defence of this af-_ flifed portion of the flock of Chrif, ” - becaufe, from what the learned Lec- turer has faid of church government, it isevidently intimatelyconnectedwith the falyation of oo | And yet, what is aftonifhing, he confiders the queftion about it, though not trivial, as not of great confequence in itelf, but made fo by the intemperate zeal of fome warm difputants. Ledures-on Ecclefiaftical Eiftory, vol. 1. p. 86. But furely, “ if a certain model of Church government mu? have been originally adopted for the more effec- tual prefervation of the evangelical in- flitution in its native purity, and for the careful transmiffion; of it to after- ages,” as Dr. C. tells. us, p- 87, the guemion abont it is of the highef con- equence in its own nature, and cannot poflibly be made higher by the moft intemperate zeal of the warmeft dif- putant; unlefs it can be faid, that the refervation and tranfimiffion of the Chrifian faith in purity is a matter of little moment ; which the learned Lec- turer certainly would not, nor will any ot his friends fay. But to proceed to my defence. Dr. Campbell has not only denied that the Epifcopal Church of Scotland has valid orders from bifhops, but that fhe has even proper Preflyterial ordi- nation. He foe p- 5, * Our Scotch epifcopal party have no orders but what they derive from bifhops merely nominal!” p. 354, and indifcreetly calls their confecrations farcical confe- crations. And becaufe ec Ful- arton

. §08 Ordinations of. Epifcopal Chureh of Scotland defended. [ June, Warton and Sage, our firft pott-revolu- tion bifhops, were not appointed to particular diftrifs, ludicroufly adds, p. 355-6, “ they were folemnly made depofitories of no depofit, commanded tobe diligent in doing no work, vigilant in the overfight of no flock, afliduous in teaching and governing no people, and prefiding in no “church ;” nay, al- though he acknowledges that the above-named gentlemen, “‘ who came under the hands of 'Bifhop Rofe of Edinburgh, (and he fhould have added of Archbifhop Paterfon of Glaf- ow, and Bifhop Douglas of Dun- blane,) had’ been regularly admitted minifiers or pee in particular congregations before the Revolution,” yet he goes on, p. $56, “ Let no true fon of our church be offended that I acknowledge our Nonjurors to have a fort of Prefbyterian ordination, for I ‘would by no means be underftood as €qualizing ‘heirs to that which obtains with ws.’ Whoever is ordained among us, is’ ordained a bifhop by a clafs of bifhops ;-~whereas, the ordination of our Nonjurors proceeds from Prefby- ters, to whom a part only of the minif- terial powers was committed, and from whom was witbheld the right of tran{- mitting orders to others.” He afler- wards, ‘p. 357, ftyles the Scotch Pref- byters a fort ‘of fiubordinate minifers, who are not authorized ‘to ordain, and who, on Dr. Hammond's hypothefis, ‘as well as ours, were not,” he fays, “© originally in the Churcher!!!" That the Le@urer could have ex- “preffed himfelf in more contemptuous ‘and vilifying language, it will not be exly I imagine to fhew. — But, to over- look that at the prefent, I beg leave to afk ‘any Prefbyterian minifter of honour in the kingdom, whether, admitting that Jéhn Knox and his affociates, at the Reformation, had Prefbyters’ orders gn the church of Rome (which, I be- lieve, it-would not be eafy to prove), the right of ‘tranfmitting orders to others was not withheld from them, as well as from Mefirs. Fullarton and Sage? and, if fo, were not thofe gen- tlemen (even before their confecra- tions by the three bifhops) minifters of the fume order with the forefaid Meifrs. Knox and Melville, and con- fequently equally entitled with them to tranfmit orders to others, merely as prefbyters?. Dr. Campbell has been pleafed to affirm they were not, for he calls them fulordinute miniflérs, not authorized to ordain, nor originally in the church, p. 357. But whether the faéi is fo, let any fenfible and. honeft Prefbyterian judge. And fo much for the orders of the Scotch Epitcopal Chureh from Prefbyters, Let us vext try if. we can prove that fhe has order’ from real and true bi- Shops. The learned Principal owns, as we have feen, that Meilrs. Fullarton and Sage were regularly admitted mi- nifters or Prefbyters in particular con- gregations before the Tonslada, (p- 355.) And he tells us in, the next page, that, according to the apofiolical primitive model, every bifhop had but one parifh, one congregation, ame church, or place of worfhip,,and one altar.” Conicquently, when the hands of three indi(putable bifhops were laid upon their heads, and the Englith of- fice for the confecration of bifhops was read over them, they became fiffragan, or affiftant bifhops ; and, afier the death of Dr. Rofe, more primitive bifhops, according to the learned _Leéturer’s principles, than diocefans are, . Their having congregations alfo fhews, that, although they had no diocefes, it is not true that they had no flocks, becaufe their congregations were their flocks. They could not claim jurifdimion, it is true, over any diocefe, wptil they were eleéied by the inferior clergy and people, as Bifhop Fullarton -foon was after Bithop Rofe’s death; but they had, notwithfianding, a juft title to confirm and perform every funéion of a bifhop, when regularly invited, as fhall be proved immediately.. For the minifiry is not like a fatherhood, or matrimony, as the learned LeAurer will have it, thefe being mere ftates o? conditions of life only, Sat isan office, the poffeffors whereof are endued with authority to execute their refpeétive parts of it, even when they have no relation to a flock. To prove this, let us ufe an argu- ment ad hominem: fuppofe then that Dr. Campbell, infiead of refigning his charge, when his faculties hegan to fail, had applied for an ordained af- fiftant; and that, the very day the Prefbytery had ordained one for him, the Doétor had died fuddenly, _.Sup- pat alfo, that the intended affifant ad not been prefented to a living for feveral years ; I afk, in the firft place, whether he might not have been em- ployed by any diftreifed minifter, either to baptize for him, or to affift him ip " : ; the So, Oe ee ees ie Lee ieee eee eee om eh ot ak. oo Te. ona

And as the firft queftion will, I prefume, be anfwered in the affirmative, and the other in the negative, by every fentible Prefbyte- rian clergyman in the kingdom, I afk, thirdly, whether this does not prove that, in the opinion of Dr. Campbell's own friends, a minifier may retain his clerical powers, although he has no paftoral charge? And, if fo, does it not follow, that Meflrs. Fullarton. and Sage, after being confecrated as afore- faid, might not only a& as bifhops of their own congregations, but ordain priefts and deacons, and confirm young people in any part of the church where they. were regularly employed? un- doubtedly. But more efpecially had they a right to preferve the fucceflion of bifhops, by confecrating others into that high office,: becaufe it was chiefly for that important bufinefs that they were created bifhops, as. their deeds of confecration, ftill extant, fhew. 1 may add, that the permanency of the Epif- copal, powers, where there is no con- nection with a flock, is farther firongl confirmed by the other fimile which the learned Le&urer makes . ule of, that, to wit, of a Sovereign. For, Charles the Second was acknowledged lawful King of England, Scotland, and Treland,’ by all the three kingdoms, from the day of his Father’s murder, although he was an exile for more than eleven long years, and all that time the reins of government were in the hands of his inveterate enemies. Having thus eftablifhed the validity of the ordinations of the Scotch Epifco- pal church, Iect us next enquire into > our learned Profeffor’s own title to a divine commiffion. And, that our tri- umph may be the greater, in cafe our enquiry proves fuccefsful, we fhall fill continue toargue upon the Doctor's own principles. Granting then that. Bifthop and Prefbyter were two names, at firft, for the fame office ; and that in every Church there was a college of Bifhops or Prefbyters, with a temporary Mode- rator at their head, which is our learned Principal’s. hypothefis: fup- pofe, too, that this plan, of govern- ment continued unaltered during the firft’ hundred years, but that, foon after, a change began to take place in e +3 S' c=) I a few chutches, where the clergy, out of refpeét to the piety or abilities of a particular brother, either refigned their epifcopal powers of ordination, confir- mation, and government, to him, or at leaft ceafed to exercife them, that their:beloved brother might be exalted under the name of Bifhop.. Suppofe this example to have been imitated in other churches, and that, about the end of the fecond century, it had be- come pretty general, ond fome years after prevailed univerfally, as our Lec- turer will have it. Suppofing all this, I fay, we muft alfo grant what our learned Profeflor likewife intimates, that, not long after, the Bifhop did not confider his pre-eminence as a grant from his brethren; but claimed the right of ordination, exclufively, as his due. For, this, numberlefs ca- nons of .the third century eftablith in- difputably, as the Leéturer admits, p. 221; and it is no lefs certain, that the great body of fe clergy, in all churches, fubmitted to thofe canons which refiriéied the power of ordina- tion to the Epifcopal order, and aéted under, them from that date dowm to the Reformation, a {pace of about 1800 years, without complaint or murmur- ing. For although Aerius, Colluthus, and a few other proud and. alpirin prefbyters, did perhaps complain, an therefore took upon them to ordain, the exception of thofe few confirms the general rule. And both they, and the erfons on whom they had. laid their wey were depofed in different Coun- cils, for their prefumption, and were declared. heretics. This is fo well known to be fad, that no one, the _leaft acquainted with. church hiftory, will call it into queftion. Now, the refiricting canons jean alluded to, be- ing made by the bifhops, clearly thew what were their opinions in thofe days concerning the power to ordain: and the inferior clergy, ‘by voluntarily fub- mitting to, and aéting under them for fo long a period, no lefs evidently proves that thev laid no claim to that power, nor believed that it belonged to their rank or order: and as it was never reftored to prefbyters in any part of the world, the confequence is un- deniable, that, from our Scotch re- formers, the power of ordination was ‘< withheld,” and therefore, being a different order of prefbyters from that which our Lord appointed, 1 fubmit to our Leéturer's own friends, whe- ther,

Will it be faid that the prefbyters in the fecond century could not lawfully either re- fign or ceafe to exercife their epifcopal owers? nér could they fuffer them- elves'to be deprived of them by their equal” brethren ; and therefore’ they might very properly refume their ort- ginal powers at the Reformation? ‘The anfwer is plain, that, however finful it might be, the fact that they did fo is, on the learned Leéturer’s hypothe- fis, undeniable. And fince the higheit part of the firft prefbyters’ office, thofe appointed by Cbrift, was withheld from them, it is clear that they weré a new and unlawful order of clergymen, uriginally unknown in the church, as the urer obferves, p. 357. For which reafon, if they had a right to exeroife any fpiritual authority at all, whieh is very doubtful, it could only be what was committed to them ; the power; to wit, of preaching, and ad- minifiering the facraments. Now, as from this order of clergy, fo eitcimfcribed and: limired at the Reformation, our learned Lefurer de- rived his mifhon, how valid it was let his greateft admirers judge. ~ Thefe fuéts, and the reafonings con- fequent upon them, which are evi- dently the learned Le&urer’s, root up the very foundation of Prefbyterial or- dination : but, God’ be praifed! they do not in the finalleft degree affe&t the ordérs of our Epifeopal church ; be- canfe her clergy derive their miffion from that order of minifters in'the fe- cord century, peculiarly called bi/hops; with whom, all the ordinary powers committed by Chrift to his apofiles were every where continved, and in no church were they ever refiriied from ordaining. (To be concluded in our next.) Mr. Ursan, June 16. HE learned and Rev.

How to explain wu9ut is the diffi- culty. If it figuifies @ bottom, the reader is at a lofs to know, whether a cup was a Cantharus, or a Scyphus ; t: e. whether the cup was two vafes joined together, fomething like an hour- glafs, only clofed in the middle, and open at both ends; the fame either way: or whether the cup had reall two bottoms ; one upon which it Rood, and the other inferted atthe narrow part of the vafe, where the oval figure was moft contra&ted. This lah explication of it, as a Cantharus, has a long prefeription in its favour. Martial certainly under- ftood the paffage in that fenfe. When the old virtuolo was fhewing ‘his curio- fities, he had the pleafing imagination of producing this very cup, and faid : ** Hi + duo longevo cenfentur Neftore fundi: Pollice de Pylio trita columba nitet.”’ The verfion of our great Englith poet givesst a very different meaning: “ Next, her white hand a fpacious goblet brings, A goblet facred to the Pylian kings From ancient times: embofs’d with fiuds of gold [held. Four ¢ feet fupport it, and four handles On each bright handle, bending o’er the brink, [drink.” In fculptur’d gold two turtles feem’d to Mr. Pope, ‘not feeing the ufe of the two bottoms, has, with great dexterity, turned them into four feet. The tripods of the antients were much celebrated ; and a vafe ftanding upon foar feet, though not fo elegant, or fo common, might anfwer this purpofe very well. But, as Homer has tid nothing of thefe four feet, I fhall leave them to fhift for themfelves : how Mr. Pope came by them, is very hard to fav. * Thad a. ver. 631. + Lib. viii. 6, -¥F The ‘fit editions have avo feet; but Mr. Pope, not pleafed with this new and fingular device, added two more. * “ Athe- wae ees em me mT ee ee he ee oo eet Oe oe or ella Oo?

And yet in that fublime and beautiful chap- ter, Matthew “xxv, which, as it were, unfolds to us fo pathetically that awful tribunal, before which we waft all one day appear, exprefily declares, that an humane attention to the temporal and eternal welfare of prifoners is one’ grand enquiry at that folemn place. “ Twasa prifoner, and ye took me not in.

T has been remarked, by the wifeft and moft intelligent among man- kind, that the greateft of intelleétual pleafures arifes from the fatisfaction the mind enjoys in the perufal of works of ingenuity, gehius, humour, or wit.

But books, as well as ‘men, may be read too much; for reading is to the mind exaeily as food is to the body, a furcharge of either turns nourifhinent into difeafe ; and the parallel will run ftill farther, if we confider that an ivi- diferirninate mixture of either will be equally hurtful te the fomach as. the head ; —_— as =a @ ce tat as ow FT) or eo wer

Books, like optic glaffes, firengthen the organ of fenfe, enlarge the prof}.ect, and yield a clearer infight into things than'can be obtained from unletiercd and unaffifted obfervation. Reading confidered as a mental di- yerfion, though not one of the ftrongeft ‘efforts or exertions’ of thé hunian mind, yet generally leaves a better ef- fe& than what arifes from the gratifica- tion of the grofler fenfes ; for, if books are well chofen, they neither dull the appetite, nor firain the capacity; on the contrary, they refrefh the inclina- tion, and ftrengthen the powers of. thinking; they improve tnder experi- ment, aud, what is yet better, they polith ahd perfeét at the fame-time. that they pleafé: and ‘entertain. What mankind were before the invention of letters has been fufficiently. fhéwn in the introduétive parts of all hiflories ; what they are, we now fee; but to _ what perfeétion future generations nay arrive at, can only be guefled by the vafl improvemenis made in the lait 400 years; that is, from ‘about the ‘time of the five great inventidns or diftoveries, ihe Compafs, the ‘art of ‘Printing, making Gunpowder and ail its dreadful train, Difcovery of Aime- ‘riea, and aft, not leaft, the Reforma- tion, to which ‘all the others helped jn the agitation. To go on with my former, obferva- tions: itis by reading we antedate aur lives, by acquainting durfelyés with the tranfactions and purfilits of other times before us, and what is worthy of imitation a8 well as abhorrence. What Ariftotle thotight, or how Alexanier adled, is, préfentéd as in a perfpective view to the. ininid; and the memory is ftored with examiples and _ precepts, which, without this ufeful and adven- titious aid, ‘ would be loft, or at beft be but the evanefcent topic of the few moments which gave them birth. . Books, again, may be confidered as friends, the leaves of which, like. the minds of fuch, are fraught with falu- tary advice ; and with this confidera- ble advantage, that their partiality can- not be fufpetted. Moreover, they may be confulted and difearded at pleafure, even without the ceremonious fedulit of compliments, or apology of, wel- come or farewell, While they inform, they lull inquietude to refi; help us to fuflain calamities with patience; to bear profperity with moderation ; eafe the difagreeable feofiutons thetante from the confequences of difappointment ; and banifh for a while from our thoughts the remembrance of the crofinefs of men and things. ~ It is alfo one of the greateft advantages the mind can boaft from thefe, to be aided in re- trofpectively examining its own pr grels and conduét. Reading alts this aét of the memory, and enables the purfuer to compare to the beft pur- pote his condition with that of others ; and, I think, it is afterwards his fault, if the refult and dedugtion be not turned to advantage. But the acquifition of Morals, the knowledge of former affairs, or con{o- lation in adyerfity, are not. the only profit derived from books, While the heart and the head are improyed, the fphere of our exiflence is enlarged; we ‘feem to aé& with the noble, the great, and brave, and think with the wife; we are thereby enabled to. tranfport ourfelves back te the times of Uhibere and Rome, atid meet their venerable Patriots, Sages, and’ Warriors, Poets and Ofators, on the very flage of ae- tion; in fhort, we f\m to pak 5 with Homer and his Trojan and Gre- cian chiefs, té breathe with Cicero and Seneca, and nter into the fpirit that a&tuated Scipio, Cefar, and the Se- nate, as well as view the fell blow aimed by Brats at his friend and pa- ‘tron.

Ihe Third Edition, revifed, correéted, and confiderably augmented. N the former editions the author confined himftlf to the plain of Troy; this contains obfervations on the countries he traverfed in his way thither. In the Ift volume he defcribes the principal iflands of the Adriatic Gulf Athens, nd its environs, and féveral iflands of the ASgean fea. The Ild: contains the defcription of the plain of Troy, enlarged with the dif- coveries. of feveral travellers who vifit- ed after him. The IIId contains the tranflation of Mr. Morritt’s work on the Troad. M. Le Chevalier left Ve- nice on-board a 74 gun-fhip, which was to conyey to Tenedos Zuliani, embaffador from that city to the Ot- toman Porte, Aug. 25, 1785, and Dr. Spallanzani, the late eminent natu- ralift. Contrary winds gave them an pprortuaity of Hig the coaft of I tria (particularly Pola), Dalmatia, and Albania. They flopped at and éxamined Corfou, in fearch of the pa- lace and gardens of Alcinoiis; Butrinto (Buthrotum), on the oppofite coaft of pirus; Preveza (Nicopolis), on the gulf of Laita; Cape Leucato (Leucate, or the Lever's Leap); Jthaca, where the whole hiftory of Ulyfles and his family prefents itfelf to the mind of - our traveller; Zante, Cerigo, and the eoafis of Laconia.

His defcription. of the ile of Seyros is enlarged by Heyne's illufration of the pretended tomb of Homer, brought from thence by a Ruffian count, and left in a private ee at Peterfburg. As there cannot e the finallefi ground for attributing it to Homer, M. Le Chevalier inclines to think it ‘a cenotaph erefed to Achilles, Deidamia, and perhaps alfo to Pyrrhus.” But, as he affigns no time for this erection, we incline to fuppofe it was the fepylchral vafe of foe perfon of confequence,. adorned with fuch fubjeéis as the hiftory of Achilles in that ifland, and’ before he was concealed there, fuggefied. See our vol, LXV. pp. 59, 680. Illuftra- tive of this volume we have a general map of the voyage from osiees others'of the ifland of Coarfou, of the kingdom of Ulyfles, of Zante; views of the harbour of Ithaca, the fountain Arethufa, the temple of Minerva Su- nias; plan of the environs of Athens ; view of that city; four fides of Ho- mer’s tomb; a camel with his equi+ page, semen. with an antient telief on a farcophagus at Alexandria Troas.

Owen, M.A. of Quren’s Col- lege, in the Univerfity of Oxford, and Reétor of Upton Scudamore, ix the County of Wilts. ~ IN the prefent inundation of agri- cultural writers in our own ifland and on the Continent it may feem lofs of labour to bring forward, in an Engtith drefs, an author who treated the fab-- ¢ ject 1809 years ago, and in a part of Europe’ whole foil, produce, and cuf> toms, differ fo much from thofe of Great Britain. When Varro, who wrote on almoft every fubject, and was looked upon by his countrymen as the moft learned man of his time, wrote about agriculiure, there were upwards of fifty treatifes on the fame fubject, all in Greek, except what Mago the Carthaginian colleéted from them, wholé works were held in fach eftima-_ tion, that the cotaueror of Carthage withheld his defiruétive hand from that devoted city till he had placed Mago’s book in a fafe place. Varro divides’ his ‘fubje@ into three parts, Agricul. ture, Cattle, and the Villa department, from three fources, his own oblerva- tion in cultivating his farms, from his réading, and from his converiation with men of experience. Italy is reprefented as in the beft ftate of cultivation of any country, and tlie produce of its vines and corn are fiated as very high. The two great confiderations With an Italian farmer were, whether the profit might be ade- quate to thé expence and labour, and whether the fituation be healthy or not. ‘The family of Stolo were advo- cates for fall fatms. Agriculiurifis ought to aim both at utility and plea- fure. ‘TPhofe things which render a ground more beautiful in appearance, by ealture generally make it not only more profitable but more faleable, and add to the yalue of the farm: for, every

Page 48

every one withes to purchafe what has a good appearance of the fame value at a higher price than he would a farm in a neglected fiate. (p. 44.) The four points concerning a farm are, its form, its quality, its quantity, and its fences. (p. 47.) Land is of four kinds: cham- pain (rather floping) for corn, hilly for vineyards, mountaiuous for wood, and a fourth compounded of the other three, Cato preferred, for culture, ground fituated at the foot of a moun- tain, in a South afpect; and he divided ound into a feale of nine divifions. Some thought that vineyards ate up the profits ; but this depended on the me- thod of training them, the poles and forks for which purpofe are of different forts. Land is of three qualities: com- mon, proper, and mixed. The mea- fures are alfo different, and the farm- honfe fhould be proportioned to the extent of the cellar as much as the cellar or granaries to the produce of the vineyard or corn-land ; and there mu be water within or near it, The houfe fhould be built at the foot of a wooded bill, among extenfiye paftures, fronting to the mofl healthy winds: if near a river, not fo as to be two cold in Winter, or unhealthy in Summer ; not too near a marfh, but on an emi- nence and funny fpot. Warm ox-fialls in Winter; level cellars, convenient kitchen, waggon-fheds, two courts, one to have a pond, and in the outer court, or firaw-yard, another pond, wherein to foak lupines and other things, which are more fit for ufe when macerated; two dung-hills, or one divided into frefh dung and that which is fit for manure, theltered from the fun by underwood and leaves, or capable of having water let in, that the juices may not be drained, Farm- houtes in Varro’s time were beginning to depart from the antient fimplicity of fiyle.

Varro fuppofes men began paftoral life by catching and taming animals, the fheep firft, on account of its utility and placid nature; there being {iill herds of wild cattle, fheep, goats, affes, horles, and fwine. ‘“ Paftoral knowe ledge is divided into nine different parts: 1, the flock, in three parts, fheep, goats, fwine; 2. the herd, in three more, oxen Ceattle horfes, affes; 3. what relates to the niles of the flock, as mules, dogs, fhepherds, Every one of thefe comprifts nine ge- neral diyifions: four for procuring the flock, four for feeding it, and one called common, ‘Thus all the parts are at leaft eighty-one *, and they are really neceflary, and of ‘no little im- port.” In the chapter of milk we are told that ‘it is the moft nutritious of every liquid fubtiance; firti, fheep's milk, then that of the goat; but that which is of the moft cleanfing quality is mares’ milk, then alles’ milk, thea cows’ milk, afterwards goats’ milk.” (p. 187.)

Our mo+ dern epicures will flare to hear of thrufhes and peacocks kept in aviaries, to be fattened for file, and hares in ftone-walled warrens, along with wild bears and wild goats. Lucullus wifhed to dine on birds in the fame aviary where the fame kind of birds were fly- ing about alive ; but ‘the birds flying about the windows did not pleafe the eve fo much as the difagreeable fmell overpowered and offended the nofe.” (p. 207.) ‘Thefe aviaries contained thrufhes arid blackbirds for fattening, and fometimes ortolans and quails, Thrufhes, turtle-doves, and quails, were migratory into Italy; and 5000 of them, when there is a feaft and a triumph, would enable their owners foon to put 60,000 fefterces out to ule. (p. 211.) Varro defcribes his aviary as very extenfive, and including an ifJand, with a banqueting-room under a covered roof; under the dome of which, in the infide, the far Lucifer in the day, and Hetperus in the night, goes round to the ee hemifphere, and inoves fo as to fhew what o'clock itis. In the middle of the fame he- mifphere is a globe with the eight winds, as on the dial at Athens, which Cyrrheftes made; and an index is mo- ved from the pole to the globe, to thew te thofe within what wind blows. An- - fidius Lurco is faid to have made above 60,000 fefterces (4841.) a year of his peacocks. Seius expeéts to have three young ones from his keeper, and, when they are grown, he fells them for fifty denarii. (11. 128, 34.4); fo that no fheep turns to fo good account. (p. 216.) Manv fold their eggs for 5 de- narii (Ss. 24,3); the birds themfelves are fold. for 50'denarii ; fo that a flock af 100 may yield 40,000 fefterces with eafe; or, as Albutins really faid, if each hen had 3 young ones, a fum of 60,000 might be raifed. (p. 217.) Young pi- geons were fattened by cramming; and a good pair of old ones commonly fold at Rome for 200 fefterces a pair; and fuch as are famous for 1000; and Axius refufed to part with a pair-for lefs than 400 denarii (121, 12s.) (p.221.) When Review of: New Publications, 525 you fet a hen, they fay thatat maf nox fit on more than a certain number of eupiiy although it has laid many more.” (p. 225.), On this Mr. Owen remark that “all his copies mention 25, whic feems a great number.” The -Afriean hens, which the Greeks called Melca- griles*, have lately been faued for eating. (p. 228) Q. Honenfus had a wood of 40 acres, walled . where the ueits were entertained at rby a Senders of deer, boars, a ib he quadrupeds, who flocked reund them when his Orpheus blew his trumpets that the fight appeared as beautiful as when they courfed in the great circus of the Aidiles without African [¥. ¢ wild] beafts. (p. 286.) Suails and dor- mice were luxuries of the Roman epi- cures in the days of the republick, who may be fairly faid to have furpatled our bons vivans in the cheice and fup+ ply of their dainties, which many of them appear to have reared on their own eftates for fale and private con+ fumption. Bees are‘ next treated of, and their produce. One man’s hives were efiimated at 5000. pounds of ho» ney ‘every year; others received’ not le(s than 10,000 fefterces for their hoe ney. (p. 243.) For a conclufion, we have an account of tiew-ponds for fifly, both fea and. frefh. Hirius réceived 12,000 felierces from the buildi round his fith ponds, and laid out all that fum in provifions for the fith. He fent Cefar, at one time, 2000 Murane by weight; and, on-account of the multitude of the fith, he (old the villa for forty times that fum of feferces, 2. Hortenfius had fith-ponds built, and the fith fed, at a great expence, at Bauli, yet fent to Puteoli to buy. fifls for fupper. Lueullus dag through s mountain at Naples, and introduced into his ponds feaswater, which might flow in and out with the tide twice a day. Such is this compendium of Roman farming, in all the fimplicity, yet all the luxury, of republican manners. I¢ may be queftioned whether all the writers on agriculture enumerated by” Varro amount to the multifarious trea- tifes written by or after the example of: Boards of Agriculture, {peculative gen- tlemen, and experimental furveyors, within the laft fifty years, to make us a nation of agriculture, while the bulk of the community cannot tafte the pro- * Qu. our Guinea fowl?

By Joun Maive. ‘ «* DERBYSHIRE has ever been confidered as one of the chief mining counties in the kingdom, aud was known to, produce lead ore at a very early period. Since the Roman inva- ‘fion, ‘its mines have fupplied the great- eft part of Europe with their produce. It’ appears that the Saxons mtroduced their method of working the mines, the riche: of which recompented their labour ; and the prefent mineral laws, cultoms, and technical phrafes, are de- rived from them. , Perhaps no country yet known produces fo many veins as the mining traé of Derby {hire ; and the number of mines that have been funk in various parts is incredible. Being a native of the country, and having refided feveral years in the moft ' interefting parts, I was applied to by a ‘Spanith gentleman to sake turveys of the principal mines, to collect their various productions, and more particu- larly fpecimens from each firatum, de- feribing their thicknefs, fituation, and pofition, in order to thew an exact re- srefentation of the mines, for she ca- Piet of his molt Catholic Majeliy at Madrid: ‘To alcertain a correét fiate- ment of the geology and mines of Der- byfhire is a work worthy of the patro- nage of a prince who enjoys fo great a fhare of the precious metals pruduged _in South America; it may prove an {example that may merit the attention pf other potentates; for callections thus formed, difplaying the frag and * their produétions, may lead to a more minute inveftigation where fuch Arata ‘ may occur, the beit means of forming ' opinions heing by comparifon : if fign- lar mountains and fata are met with, it would be very natural to expect fi- milar fubliances, Thefe circumflances avé unfortunately hitherto attracted | ittle notice, The antient method of _ Review of New Publications. 535 are frequently cut, ng analyfis is made of their produce.

Freyberg and Schemnitz, the prefent theatres of mineralogical knowledges had begin- hings: 18 it not to be regretted, that no inttitution for fuch information is effa- bliihed in this kingdom, the riches of whole mines have fo long been cele- brated? Students attend the minera!c- gical lectures of Freyberg and Schen- nitz from all parts of the world ; and they are as nucn famed for the ftudy of mineralogy as Rome was for thie fine arts, Teves frequenily. vifited moll of the mines in. this kingdom, T have heen repeatedly folicived vo publifh the obfervations | have made, with a view to guide the traveller to the. moft interefiing points, aud.1o deferibe thofe objects to the mineralogitt as they are prefemted by nature : as an-obferyer ad- digied to no theory, | leave the feien- tific to forin opinions agreeable to their own fentiments. 1 now beg leave to fubmit this eflav towards a defeription of the mines in Derbyfhire, &e. to the public infpection, Confcious 1 am that the plainnefs of the language may not be well fuited to the Literary World; but I hope the candid reader will, excufe it, trufting it is the beft adapted to explain the fubje& on which ] have treated ; and fully acknowledge my want of abilities as an author, un- accufiomed to compofition,.

Pocms on various Subjes, By Thomas Dermody. THIS elezant little volume, the pro- duion evidently of a cultivated mind, contains feveral articles highly.¢redita- ble to the poetical talents of the writer, who, thongh a very young man, is “not unknown to fame.” On looking over a variety of mifcellae neous papers,” Mr. D, fays, which, through a particalar cafuslty, have been for fame years entirely laft to me, I find a few of them not.quite devo of that {pirit and fancy which mark the e Ver eff: fions of'an enthofisft. To gree, an weéa of their date, and perh ops to awoken cuniofity, I mut obferve that two Collections of my Poems were publifhed in the metropolis of the filter kingdom; the firft written between the 12th and 13th, the fecond between the 14th and (6th years of my age. Nearly eight years: had éelapfed be- fore I again refuinicd the pen. Should this volume experience any tolerable dezree of encouragement, I fhalt felc&t fame of thofe trifl-s whith may appear the mot pardon- able, and introduce them ia the courfe of a work I have’ long fundly meditated, which will he'no other than a“ Memoir of the firft Twenty-fix Years of my own Life ;”” a life which ha: not been, as I 100 fenfib'y feel, barren of extraordinary inci- dept, or unattended with various obfers vation”? The principal fubjecis of the prefent volume are, ‘*Love’s Legend; or, Ari- bert and Angela, a poetical Romance,” the prodaétion of five or fix folitary hours; ‘The Extravaganza ;” ‘The Pleafures of Poefy;” and * The En- thufiaft ;” the two laf in. imitation of Spenter; * Elegiac Ode to the Me- mory of General Abercrombie ;” a . confiderable number of:. Sonnets, a- mong which are appropriate compli- ments to the Duchefs of Devonthire, the Earls of Carlifle and Moira, Sir James Bland Burges, Mr. Pye, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Smith the folicitor-ge- _neral in Ireland, &c. &c.; and a variety of poems ftriétly mifcellaneous. We felect two {pecimens from the fon- nets ; 1.

The Hiftory of PopeNicholas’s Valor is thus fatisfactorily fiated : * Pope Innocent X X11. to whofe pre- deceifors in the fee of Roimé the firtt-fruits and tenths of ali écc'efiaftical bénefices had for a tong time been paid, gave the fame, | 1253, to King Henry IIE. for threé years, which cccafioned a taxation in the foltow- ing year, fometimes called the Nerwich tax- ation, and fomet:mes Pope Innecent’s Valor. In the year 1288, Pope Nicholas IV. granted the tenths to King Edwavd §. fer fix years, towards defraying the expence of an expedition to the Holy Land; and, that they might be colle&ed to their full .Walue, ‘@ taxation by the King’s precept wes begun in that year (1288), and f- nifked as to the province of Canterbury in 1z91, and as to that of York, in the fol- lowing year; the whole being under tlic divection of Jobn bithop of Wonton, and , Qhiver bifhop of Lincoln. “A third taxation, entitled, * Nova Taxatio,’ as te fome part of the province of York, was made 1318 (11 Edward II.) by virtue of a foval mandate direéted to the bithop of Carlifle; chiefly on account of the invafion of the Scots, by which the clergy of thofé border countries were ren- dered unable to pay the former tax. “ The taxation of Pope Nicholas isa moft important record, becaufe all the taxes, as well to our kings ‘as the popes, were regulafed by it, until the furvey made jn the 26th year of Henry VIIL; and becaufe the ftatutes Of Colleges which were founded before the Reformation are alfo interpreted by this criterion, according to which their bencficge, under a certain "Value,

MSS. in the King’s Remembrancer’s Office, Exche- quer, coliated with a Cottoviaa MS. of much greater antiquity, in the Britith Mufeum, Tiberius C. X. which has unfor- tunately fuffered fome damage from the fire which happened to the Cottonian li- brary whilft lodged in the Dormitory at Weftninfter. The original Rolls for fe- veral diocefes are ftill extant in the Exche- quer, and have been confulted in this edi- tion; the various readings which occur in them have been preferved; they are, how- ever, but few, and are of no great cone deration; which circumftances evince the accarsey of the antient tranfcripts. “ Specimens of the hand-writing of the two Exchequer MSS. [engraved by Bafire] which appear to have been written.in the reign of Heory VI. are prefixed.” In the other Preface we are told that “The Patent Rolls in the Tower of London commence in the third year of the reign of King John, and end in the 23d year of that of Edward 1V. They are de- feribed by Thomas Aftie, efquire, keeper of the records there, in his Return, printed | jo the Reports from the $ele&t Committee appointed to, enquire into the ftate of the Public Records of the kingdom, &c. p53, thus: ‘they contain grants of offices and Jands—reftitutions of temporalities to bi- pS abbots, and other ecclefiaftical per- ons—confirmations of grants made to bo- dies corporate as well ecclefiaftical as civil e-grants in fee farm—[pecial liveries— grants of offices {pecial and general—pa- tents of creations of peers, and licences of all kinds which pafs the great feal;. and on the hacks of thefe Kolls are commifiicns to juftices of the peace; of fewers, and all commiffions (indeed) which pafs the great feal.’ * The Calendar to thefe Rolls now. pub lithed is printed from four MS volumes ‘procuted in the year 1775, by Mr. Aftle, for public ufe, from the executors of Henry Rooke, efquire, collated with two MSS. ‘jn the Cottonizn library in the Britifh Mu- feam, marked Titus C.

Many omiffions and deficiencies in the . ‘Tower copy have been fupplied by that in the Mafeum, which feems to have been compiled in the reign of James I. from the Records themfelves, by fome experienced clerk; who has feleéted from them what appeared to him mott ufefal and interefting. “1 may be proper. to abferve, that as this Calendar, though entitled to great me- fit, is only a. {élction; yarjows entries @ppear on the Patent Rolls which-are not Review of New Publications. 539 here defcribed: and theréfore, thongh this work. will be found to yield abundant . information, no one is tobe deterred from an examination of any Record referred to elfewhere, as being on the Patent Roll, be= caufe it is not to be difcdvered here.’’ LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

For the most satisfactory set of experiments, made on not less than eight acres of land, four of which to be trench-ploughed*, and four tobe ploughed in the usual manner, in order to ascertain in what cases it may be adviseable to shorten the operations of tillage, by adopting one trench-ploughing, for tihe purpose of burying the weeds, instead of the me- thod, now in common use, of ploughing and har- rowing the land three or four times, and raking the weeds together and burning them; the gold medal, or forty guineas. Itis required thatevery operation and expense attending each mode of culture be fully and accurately described, and that proper certificates of the nature and condi- tion of the land on which the experiments are made, together with a circumstantial account of the appearance of the subsequent crops during their growth ; and also of the quantity and weight of the corn and straw under each mode of cul- ture, or, in case of a green crop, the weight of an average sixteen perches, be produced to the Society onor before the first Tuesday in Feb 1803, 18, CompanaTive CULTURE oF WHEAT) BROAD-CAST, DRILLED, AND DIBBLED.

Sprinc WuEat.Tothe person who, between the 10th of January and the 10th of April, 1802, shall cultivate the greatest quantity of wheat, not less than ten acres ; the silver medal, or twenty guineas. It is required that the time of sowing and reaping be noticed ; also a particular account of the species, cultivation, and expense attending it, with proper certificates of the nature and con- dition of the land on which the experiments were made, and the name of the crop, if any, which the same land bore the preceding year; together with an «ccount of the produce, the weight per Winchester bushel; and a sample, not less than a quart, be produced to the Society on or before the second Tuesday in February, 1803. It is supposed that sowing wheat early in the spring will notonly allow moretimeto till the land but less for the growth of weeds; thusrendering the wheat as clean as a barley crop, and exhaust- ing the soil much less than autumnal sowing. It may be seen in the 19th volume that the wheat usually sown in autumn may be put into the ground, with great success, se late as February or March, thus giving time to clear the ground from turnips, or to avoid a bad scason, 20. Beans AND WuegtT. To the person who shall have dibbled or drilled, between the Ist of December, 1801, and the Ist of April, 1802, the greatest quantity of land, not less than ten acres, with beans, in equi-distant rows, and hoed the intervals twice or oftener, and shall have sown the same land with wheat in the autumn of the year 1802; the silver medal, or twenty guineas. It is required that an account of the sort and quantity of beans, the time of dibbling or drilling, and of reaping or mowing them, the produce per acre threshed, the expense of dibbling or drill- ing, hand or horse hoeing, the distance of the rows, and the quality of the soil, together with certificates of the number of acres, and that the land was afterwards actua}ly sown with wheat, be produced on or before the second Tuesday in March, 1803. 2!. Beans, To the person who, in the year 1801, shall discover and cultivate, either by the drill or dibbling-method, on not less than five acres, a species of horse-beans or tick-beans, that will ripen their seeds before the 21st of August ; the silver medal, or twenty guineas. It is re- quired that a particular account of the bean, the cultivation, and the expense attending it, with proper certificates of the nature and condition of the land on which the experiments are made, to- gether with an account of the produce, the weight per Winchester bushel, and a sample of not Icss than a quart, be produced to the Society on or before the first Tuesday in December, 1802. It is apprehended that, ifa bean should be brought into cultivation with the habits of the hotspur, or other early peas, that it would, in a great mea- sure, escape the danger arising from the collier- insect, or other insects, and allow more time for the farmers to: till the land for the subsequent Premiums in Agriculture. 547 crop of wheat.

The accounts and certificates to be de- livered on or before the first Tuesday in Dec.1803. 23. CompaRATIVE CULTURE OF TURNIPS.. For the best set of experiments made on not less than eight acres of land, four of which to be sown broad-cast, and four drilled, to ascertain whether it is most advantageous to cultivate ture nips by sowing them broad-cast and hand-hoeing them, or by drilling them in équi-distant rows, and hand or horse-hoeing the intervals; the sil- ver medal, or twenty guineas. It is required: that every operation and expense of each mode , of culture be fully described, and that proper certificates of the nature and condition of the Jand, on which the experiments were mace, to- gether with the weight of the turnips grown, on a fair average sixteen perches of land, under each mode of culture, be produced to the Society oh or before the first Tuesday in March, 1803. The object which the Socicty have in view in offering this premium is experimentally to ascertain the most advantageous “method of growing turhips, To do this in a satisfactory manner, both the drilled and broad-cast crops should have the ad- vantage of the most periect cultivation, conse- quently the drilled crops should have the inter- vals between the rows worked by the horse or hand-hoe, or by both these implements ; and the rows should be either weeded or hand-hoed, or both .weeded and hand-hoed. The broad-cast crop should have every advantage which weed- ing and hand-hoeing can give it, consistently with leaving the soil a flat surface. 24. The same premium is extended one year farther.

Lord Hollaud felt the neceffity ef fupport- ing the cignity of the Crown of a great and powerful country like this; but ftated feveral inflances, which he deemed to der monRrate that the infurmation before the Houfe was materia ly deficient. . The Earl of Moira entered into an ani- mated enlogiam on the fuperiarity of the Briufh Conftitution; reprobaied the hack- nied attempt of fome writers to imprefs a belief, that the entire of the Civil Lift was applied to the individual ufes of the Sove- retgn; and contended that the allowance to the junior branches of the Royal Famil were greatly inadequate, ; The Earl of Carnarvon argued for further enquiry; which was oppofed by the, Earl of fimorland as unneceffary. Lovds Pelbam and Hobart generally ex; plained. On a divifion, the numbers were, for the Addrefs, 60 ;—againtt it, 4. antigen The Commons, the fame day, in a Com- mittee, voted 50,000]. out of the contoli- dated fund, for the improvement of the port of London, to be paid by the fale of certsjn lands. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave no- tice, that he fhould next Monday bring fo ward the account of the Expenditure, and of the Ways and Means, for the prefent year; and that, heing now juftified by the peace in doing fo, he fhould move for the Repeal of the Tax on Income. Ti.¢ Houfe in a Committee on the Civil Lift, the Chancellor of the Exchequer mis nutcly detailed its nature and origin, in order to prove that the fubjeét was mates rally benefited by the prefent difpofi:ion, the Sovereign having had the uncontrouled dive&tion of the national revenue till that difpofition took place. In the year 16973 the Civil Lift was eftablifhed at 680,0001. per annum, In the reign of George I. it was increafed to 850,0001.; added ta Which, Parliament was twice called upon ae penal k to

To the year 1775, 100,0col. more was granted; as were 618,340]. in the year 1776; 60,000]. in the year 1724; and 210,0c0l. in the year 1786; axounting in all to 1,501,8stl, The Right Hon, Gentleman here contended, that, exclufive of the re- duced value of money, the incresfed price of every article, &c. thefe feveral grants gid not make the Civil Lift, during the reign of his prefent Majefty, amount to fo much as it had done during the time of his three immediate predeceffors. Upon the penfions at home, there was a decreafe of 175 7001.; upon thofe to Foreign Minitters, there was an increafe of 92,5231. The ‘profecutions of offerders againft the State, various negotiations with Foreign Pdwers, the increafed number of meffengers, &c. had tended to the eftablifhment of the prefent debt affefting the Civil Lift, and which amounted to 990,0531. After ad- verting to the fature propriety of felling the Crown lands in the Welt Indies, and ftrongly enforciag the neceffity of difcharg- tng the prefent arreais of the Civil Lift, Mr, Addington moved a refolution to that effect, Mr. Fox expreffed his ftrong defire to fupport the fplendour which ought to be attached to each branch of the Royal Fa- mily, and particularly to the office of Firft Magiftrate. It might appear harfh, and it was painful to bim, to oppofe the prefent motion; but he felt himfelf called upon by public duty to do fo; aad he was of opi- nion, that it ought to be rejected, and an Addrefs prefented to. his Majetty, praying, that he would in future live within his income, and make fuch a fund out of the ivil Lift revenue as would be fufficient to Piquidate the debts already coutrafted. The Ciwil Lift bad been determined by Parlis- ment after the moft ma'ure confideration ; and Minifters were therefore beund tocon- fine the expenditure to its amount ; or, if they could not do fo, on afcertaining that to be the faét, to have come to Parhament for infructions ; but, inflead af doing ei- ther, they expended g00,coo l. a year, when ovly $00,c001. was granted, and, taking the legifianve power into the:r own hands, called apon Parhameot to make up the deficiesicy. By Mr. Burke's bill, it was renvered ccimonal for the Civil Lift to contraét debts ; and each excefs of expen- diture beyond the fam aliowed by the Le- “giflature was a mifdemcanour, Mr. Fox went largely into the Civil Lift during former reigns, iti order to thew that it was often incumbered by larger annuities than daring the reign of his prefent Ma- jetty; George IL. having paid t00,0701. a year to the late Prince of Wales, and ha- ving paid, befides other annuities alluded to by the Inft fpeaker, that to the late Duke of Cumberland during 15 years 5 whereas his prefent Majetty paid it for five only, The Chancellor of the Excbequer replied ¢ and was followed by Mr. Pitt; who, iva ftrain of irony perhaps peculiar to hinfelf, adverted to many parts of Mr. Fox's fpeechy which our limits prevent our noticing. To prove that Mc. Burke did pot attach to his bill the meaning now gives to it, he ftated, that the firft excefs of Civit Lift expend.ture, after its having been pated, was in the year 1784, duricg nine months of which Mr. Burke, Mr. Fox, and Lord George Cavendith, were in office ;.and furttier, that in the difcuffions which took place in 1786, and at fubfequent periods, when Minitters brought the Civil Litt be- fore the Houfe, fuch a conftru&tion had not ever been attempted to be put apon this bill. The Penfion Lift and the fala« ries, Mr. Pitt obferved, had been kept within bounds; the excefs of expenditure, principally under the head of occafional payments, to which the foreign meffengers had largely contributed, was unavoidable s and he felt particular gratification that every circumftance hefure the Houfe could be clearly and fatisfatorily explained. In the firft 60 years of the loft century the aversge Crvil Lift expenditure amounted to 794,0001!. per annum; and the annual expendi ure of the lalt 40 years, including all the grants, together with that now ap- plied for, ayeraged no. more than 918,000. being at the rate of eight to nine; which, . confidering the increafed price of provi- fions, &c. and that the value of money had vaned in the proportion of two td three, he conceived did not warrant the obfervations that had been applied to it. Mr. Fox and Mr. Pitt (everally explained. Mr. Tierney thought it neceflary to en- quire whether the Civil Lift now made the fame payments as formerly. He faid, that the goo,ocol. at which only the Civil Lift was ftated, was confiderably increafed by the four and a half per cent. duties to his Majefty, &nd by the foms to the various branches of the Royal Family out of the confolidated fund. After adverting to the falling-in of annuities, &c. Mr. Tierney faid, that another conftdcrable faving had accraed to the Civil Lift, in the: article of fecrct fervice money, winch, ddring former wars, had been defrayed ont of that fund bat for which Parhament bad, during the late war, voted near godoctol Mr. Tierney concluded by moving, that the Chairmas

Mr. Robert Manners, Sutton fated, that Edward U1. having created his eldeft fon Edward (the Black Prince) Duke of Corn- wall, each fucceeding Prince of Wales had enjoyed that title, with the emolaments at- fached to it, fince the year 1499, when it was folemnly determiged by Parliament, and acceded to by Henry VI. that the Prince of Wales was enti'led to the reve- nues of the dutchy of Corawall from the momert of hs birth: From, that. period the right of the Prince had not ever been difputed, except in the cafe of James the Firft; whofe eldeft fon, Peince Henry, ha- Ving died; he refufed thefe revenues to his fegond fon, afterwards Charles the Firft, in whofe favour it wa:, however, deter- mined by Parhament;: and fo final was this decifinn held, that, in the 8th of his prefent Majefty, it was deemed expedient to pafs an Adtito enable the Crown to grant, during the minority, leafes of thofe lands, the revenyes of which, with the exception of 28,cgol, had been paid into She Treafary, and. applied to the purpofes of the Civil Li, The guefion at iffue Was not betwéen the King and the Prince of Wales (in whieh cafe it would not have heen brought forward), dnt between his Roy-l Highnefs and. the publick ; origina- ting in the defire of his Mijsity, andgin the folicitude of the Prince to itand well with the publick, as he “vas determined not to feccive any of this money, but to apply it tothe payment of his debts. And further to prove, that, however liberal Parliament had been, he itr! had not obtained his right. Mr. Sutton faid, that, this being a point of right, be bad no doubt that the Houfe wonld prevent the neceility of feeking in another Tribunal to obtain it: and cone cluded by moving for a Committee to en- quire into the amount and appropriation of the receipts of the Datchy of Cornwa! fromthe birth of the Prince of Wales to his becoming of age. Su &. Milbanke {¢conded the motion, ia order that. the point at ifue fhould be de- termined secording to its merits, The Chancellor of the. Exchequer highly éx- tolled the ability and general candavr of the imrdudion of the qneftion before the Houfe; but many perfons,.whofe op vions with that of the Hon. had -bronght t forward, ¢ materially from hit; and deci‘edly it a to chivalry, until Yucation for releafe, has a. right to the reuts ond profits of the ward. . It had heen truly (oid, that the Prince of Wales withed to ftand well wih the publick; ard that folicittude muft be gratifying to every geod mag. © Any man who could entertain a contraty feeling, ora different with, muft be void of honour, dead to every generous impreffion, and. aught to, be branded 2s a moniter, and held up to the fcora of the publick’? Nor was this feeling, honcvr- able and cautious 3s it was, merely perfonal to his Royal Highnefs; it was of high and general intereft that the Prince fhould ftand wellwith the publick : it was alfo defira- Dle that each branch of the Royal Family fhould be fupported with {plendour, a re- {pect to which was founded in the pa‘ure of man, Under thefe impreffions, and with the fentiments refulting from the declara- tion of his Royal Highnefs, that he would apply whatever part of the money in quel- tion he. might receive to the payment of his debis, he felt much re'uétance at oppo fing the application ; but he conceived, tha wherever there was wrong in this country, there-was redrefs for it; and that, if there was wrong in this cafe, which he could not admit, Parliament was not the proper me- dium through which to feek a remedy, till it appeared to have been refufed elfewhere. He couid sot adm't the idea, that the reve- nues.of the Dutchy of Cornwall, during the M:nority, amounting to’ 233,780]. were ever intended to be applied by the Duke, whilft his maintenance during the like pe- riod, and which cof within 38,0001. of that fom, was to be at the charge of the Sovereign, When the Prince of Wales came of age, he was allowed a revenue of 50,000 L, per annum, which in the year 1757 was sugmented to 60,c< ol. and which has fince Seen increafed to 120,000). for'm- ing a total of 1,725,000l. fince that period ; from which.the money expended on Carl- ton-honfe, and other items, are to be de- duéied. He was anxions that his Royal Highnefs fhould be {peedily reftored to the ufe of his undiminifhed revenue; but, deem- ing this not to be the proper medium, he fhould move, ** That the other orders of the day be now read,’” Mr, Mf.

The Mafer of the Rolls fad, he cid not mean. to orgue the rghit of the Prince of Wales; but that a Court of Law -was the prope: place for the. queftion to be deter- mined. This wasaclam of right, which its advocates ftated was clearly eftahlithed ; but, till that’ point, wlich he doubted, was made oot, the Houvfe ought to be cautions how it exercifed a judici.d authority. Mr. Fox did not cénceive this to be a queftion of law, bat of fact, which did not require the Hole to exercife a jusicicl power, butte m ike a legiflative provifion. This was not like a cafe between a guardian and his. wars, in which the former was la- ble to account for the ward’s income; as no accbnot could be denianded from the King. Wheu Frederick Prince of Wales attained the ase of maturity, the revenues of the Dutchy of Cornwall, received daring his Minority, were pall to him. It was now obferved, that the foms difburfyd ior the ejucation.of the Prince of Wales fhould be deduéted from his revenve, although fach a mode had not been adopted re(pe@ing the Duke of York, whofe revenues arifing from the Bifhop of Ofnaburgh, during bis mi- nority, were applied in the purchafe. of eftates for him in this.country.. The Prince, _asa public cf-diror, called apon the Houle j cdedly of opinion, that the Houfe ought to admit or to negative the claim, The Attorney General f.ted, that the Dutcliy of ,Cornwall_ was granted by Ed- ward 1f1, to the Prince of Wales, for the exprets purpofes of his education -during his nonage, and for his fubfequent fupport ; and that, even admitting the Prince of Waies had a. claim in the prefent inftance, which hedenied, fill the nioney difbui fed - for him before he came of age more than equalled the revenues of the Duichy during that period, Lord Hatwlefoury, the Solicitor-General, » Colonel Grofvenor, Mr, Fobnfone, and’ Mr. Ellis, appofes the motion ; which was fap- ported by Mefirs.

A rebellion againtt the Emperor lately broke ont, and the infurgents were headed by the Emperor’s nephew, who has, how~- ever, been defeated with great lofs, as ap- pears by the following letter from Pangiery dated May 19> 6 We have this day received intelligence of an a@tion having taken place between the Emperor of Morocco and his nephew, jn which the latter has been completely de- feated with great lofs: itisaleady known that there are 80co killed, 2goo teken prifoners, befides an immente number of wounded, The Emperor fpeaks in the higheft serms of the very great affiftance he received fom un officer who arrived at the camp the vight befure the action, and requefted the Empeior to accept his fer- ~ vices. He had the command of a fquadron of harfe, and contributed in a great mea- fure to the defeat of the encmy. It 3s ex- pected that this weck will put an end to the war, ‘as Ambatladors are now goi:.g from the Emperor in anfwer to terms pro- pofed by the nephew. We learn, that the officer who diftinguifhed birafelf fo much belongs to the City of London Light Raife, and that he is deputed, from fome ot the principal merchants in that city, to pro- eure the releafe of two fhips detained by the Emperor of Morccco. We are happy to find; that, in confequence of his great fervices on this occaftun, the Emperor hs lent a favourable ear to the obj-& of his miffiion. The Emperor has already con- fered fome- diftinguifhed honours upon him.” D {patches from Sierra Leone fate, that the Timmanys had, ch the morning of the Abfirad.of Foreign Occurrences, cy une, rith of April, made a fecond and wholly unexpected attack on the town avd fort, They were repulfed, after a very fhort conflict, and clofely purfued to a confider- able dittance. On the part of the colony, only three men were killed, and a. few lightly wounded. The Timmanys being ja the habit of carrying their dead and wounded off the field, even. during the heat of aétion, it is ‘not eafy to afcertain their lofs: 31 de-d bodies were left be- hind them in their Aight.

For nearly the two latt years he had been in a very precarious and declining ttate of health and was at times in fo exhaufted a ftate as to be incapable of retaining any thing but human milk on his ftomach, He was fon of Robert Lowther, efq. of Mal- mefmebarne, governor of Barbados 1716, by Catherine, only duughter of Sir jofeph Pennington, bart. by Mary his wife, fourth daughter of John Vitcount Lonidale. He died 1745, the 1746, leaving iffve the late Earl, another fon, Robeit, and 3 Caugh- ters: Margaret, masricd to Henry, prefent Earl of Darlington ; Catherine, to the late Duke of Belton; and Barbara. The late Eari fucceeded Henry third Vifcount Lonf+ dale, who died without iffue, in his titie of baronet 17503 and was alfo heir to thie accumulated wealth of Sir James Lowther, of Whitehaven. Sept. 7, 1761, his Lord- fhip (then Sir James Lowther) married Lady Mary Stuart, eldeft daughter of the late Earl of Bute; and, as he afterward obtained a grant from the Crown of part of an eftate which had -been long held by the Duke of Portland's family as an’ ap- pendage to-an eftate in the county of Cum- berland, given to their ancettor by King William HI. it was rafhly and untruly prefumed that Lord Buate’s intereit was jufed io inducing the Lords of the Treafary to improve his fon-in-law’s property at the expence of the Duke of Portland, who was then in Oppofition. A confderable fare of unpopularity attended this tranf- aétion ; which Sir James greatly increafed, by multiplying litigations, and bringing at once a great number of ejeétments for the purpofe of ettablifhing his claim. A liti- gious difpofition, or rather a determination to opprefs, by means of wealth, and under colour of law, all who were obnoxious to him, has been frequently imputed to Lord Lonidale;.and the records of the courts, the books of- reports, and the accounts of the affizes in different, counties, have ap- peared, for a long feries of years, to afford fome bafis for the imputation, _In 1782, when it wes generally underitoed that the war covld not be-of much longer continu ance, Sir James Lowther waited on Lord Sandwich, then at the head of the Admr- talty, and, after deploring the ftate ‘of his Majeity’s Nayy, voluntarily offered to buiid and equip, at hiscown expence, a feventy- fcar-gun fhip, Lf this propotal wes fiu- cercly paade, too. much praile cannot be given to fuchdifintereited patriotifm ; but, if common fufpicion be well-founded, 1 was merely acdeiufive attempt to acquire Popularity, and enfure ditinétion, with- owt the claim arifng from actual merile Gent. Mac. Sune, 1802. 14 The peace of 1723 made the building of a fhip: at that time unneceffiry; but, al- though the country has fince been engaged ina more extenfive conteft, and attended with greater exertions than thofe which gave re to the propofal-of fitch a dona~ tion, the offer was\ never repeated. He was, fome years ago, violently fiurifed by Peter Picdar, whem he profecuted for a libel, but, on receiving a concefiion, was induced to defift; an initance of placahi< lity which does him honour? aod he evine ced great perfoual courage in a duel fonght, in the year 1792, with Capt. Cathbert; which, it is fimpofed, was net the only tranfaétion of the kond id which he had been engage’. In 17%4 an entient peers age which belonged:‘o tie family, but had been for fome time extin®, was revived, and Sir James was calied up to the Hoifé of Lords by the titles «tready enumerate ds He had been more than 30 years Amember of the Houfe of Comm wns, bzing feveral times eleéted for the counties of Camberlind and Weitmorland ; and, at the generel elections 1769, wasreturned for both. His partia- mentary -intereit was very confiicrable § and he had the honour of fir introducing Mr. Pitt. to the ‘Britithh Senate, whom he canfed to be eleéted, in 1731, upon his in- terefi, for Appieby, at the inftance of their common friend the late Duke’ ‘of Rutland. He was always anxious for the extenfion of his Borough intereft; and al- though the potfetfion of. fuch influencé be reckoned favourable” to the: views of ams bition, he never occtipied auy official fitua- tion.

S. fellow of the College uf Phyficians, and fenior phy- fician to St. Thomas’s hofpital. He was born in Aberdeen, Nov. 18, 1726, and was the only and pofthumous child of Mr. George Fordyce, the proprietor of a fmall landed eftate, called Broadford, in the neighbourhood of that city. His mother, not long.after, marrying again, he was ta- ken. from her when about two years old, and fent to Fouran, at which: place he re- ceived his (chool-education.. He was re- moved thence to the Univerfity of Aber- deen, where he was made M. A. when only 14 years of age. _ In his. childhood he had taken great delight in looking at phials of coloured hquors, which were placed at the windows of an apothecary’s fhop. To this circumilance, and to bis acquaintance with the late learned Alexander Garden, M.D. F.R.S. many years a phyfician in South Carolina nd in this city, but then apprentice to a furgeon and apothecary in Aberdeen, be ufed to attribute the 1efulu- tion he very early formed to ftudy medi- cine. He was in confequence fent, when about 15 years old, to his uncle, Dr. John Fordyce, « ho at that time-practived medi- cine at Uppingham, in Northampronfhire. With him he remained feveral years, and thet, went to the Univerfity of Edinburgh, where, after a refidence of about three years, he received the degree of M.D. in Otober, 1758. His inaugural differtation was upon catarrh. While at Edinburgh, Dr. Cullen was fo much pleafed with his diligence and ingenuity, that, hefides fhew- ing hem manv other marks of regard, he ufed frequently to give him private affift- ance in his ftudies. The pupil wag ever afrer grateful for this kindnefs, arid was accuflomed: to {peak of his preceptor in terms of the higheft refpe€t, calling him often © his learned and revered mafter.” About the end of 1758 he cameto London, hut went fhortly ofrerto Leyden, for the purpofe, chiefly, of ftadying anatomy un- der Albinus. He returned; in 1759, to London, where he foon determined to fix hinfelf as a teacher and prairioner of medicine. Wher he mate known this ins tention to his relations, they highly difap- proved of it, as the whole of his patri- mony had been exnended upon his educe- tion, Infpired, however, with that confi- cence which frequently attends the con- fcious poffeffion of great falents, he per- fitted in bis purpofe, ani; before the end of 1759, commenced acourfe of lectures upon chemiftry. This was attended by nine pupils. In 1764 he began to lecture alfo upon Materia Medica and the praétice of phyfick. Thpefe three fubjeéts he continued to teach nearly 30 years, giving, for the moft part, three courfes of leétares on A cotrfe lafted each of them every year. nearly four months; and, during it, a lec- ture of nearly an hour was delivered fi times in the week. His time of teachin commenced about 7 o’clock m the morn- ing, and ended at 10; his !e@tures upon the three abovementioned fubjeéts being given one. immediately after the other. In 1765 he was admitted a licentiate of the College of Phyficians. In 1770 he was chofen phy- fician to St. Thomas's bofpital, after a cons fiderable conteft wth the prefent Sir Wil- ham (then Dr.) Watfon; the number of votes in his favour being 109, in that of Dr, Watfon 106. In 1774 he became a _member of the Literary Cluh; and in 1776 was eleéted a fellow of the Royal Society. In 1737 he was admitted a fellow of the Coliege of Phyficians. No circumfta can demonftrate more ttrongly the hi opinion entertamed of his abilities by the reft. of his profeffiin in London than bis reception into that body. He had been particularly aétive in the difpate, which had exified about 20 years before, between the felows and licentiates, and had, fur tins reafon, it was thought, forfeied all title to be admiited inte the fellawhhip through favour. But the College, in 1737, were preparing a new edition of their Pharmacopeeia; and there was confeffedly nv one of treir own number well aequaimed with pharmaceutic.l chemiftry.

He had given a courfe of leétures on thefe fubjeMs to fome young men of rank; foon after the clofe of which, one of his hear- ers, the late Mr. Stuart Mackenzie, pre- fered him with a copy of them, from notes he had taken while they were deli- véred.

An Attempt to improve the 3 Some Obferva- tions upon the compofition of Meiicines.’ He was, befides, tiie inventor of the ex- periments in heated-rocems, an account of which was given ‘to the Royal Society by the prefent Sir Charles Biagcen 3: and was the author Of ‘many improvements in’ various arts Connected with chemiftiy, on which le ufed frequently to be confi'ted by manufaurers.—Though he had pro- jected various literary works in addition to tliofe which have been mentioned, nothing has-been leftby bim in manufcript, except the Differtation on Fever already f{poken of; and two intrednétory leGures, one to his Courfe of Materia Medica, the o her to that of the Praétice of Phyfic. This will not appear extrao! dinary to thofe wio knew what corfidence he had in the accue racy of his memory. He gave all his leAures witheut notes, and perhaps never potfetied any: he took oo memorandum in wr ting of the engagements he formed, whether of bufinefs or pleafure, and vra always moit punétual in obferving them 5 and when he compofed his works for the publick, even fach as defcribe fucceitions of eveats found together, as far as we con perceive, by no necetlary ‘ie, his mae terials, fuch at leaft as were hisown, were altogether drawn from ftores in his me- mory, which bad often heen laid up there many years before. In confequence of this retentivenefs of memory, and of great reading and a moft inventive mind, he was, perhaps, more generaily {killed in the fciences, which are either directly fab- fervient to medicine, or remotely connefed with it, chan any other perfon of his time ; certainly more fo than any other perfony whom the wri'er of this article, a phy- fician bimfclf, and not onacgnainted with many in ‘his profeition of rank ard cele- brity, has ever known. One fault, how- ever, in his charaéter, as an author, pro- bab!y arofe, ether wholly or in pnt, from the very excellenc? which has béen men- tioned. This was lus deficiency in’ the art of literary compofition ; the knowledge of which he might have infenfibly scqmred, to amuch greater degree tian was polf-tfed by him, had he felt the neceffitv wm his vouth of frequently comnitting tus thongtts tO writing, for the purpofe of preferving them,” But, whether this be juft or aot, it muft be confeifed, that, notwithftand- ing tris great learning, which embraced niany fubjects no way allied to medicine, ‘he feldom wrore elegant'y, often ubfcur “ly and- inaccurately; and chat he fre- quently erred wath refpeét even to or- thography. His language, however, in converfason, winch confirms the preceding conjeGiure, was not lefs correét than that of moft other perfons of good ‘education, As ale@arer, his delivery was flow aud hefitathag, and frequently interrupted by poufds not required by his fuhjeét) ~Some- times, indeed, thefe continued fo long, that perfons unaccullomed to his manner, were apt to fear that he was embarraffed. But thele difatvantages did ‘not prevent his having a’ coafiderable number gf pupils, a@tuated by the expeflation of receiving from hint more fell ani accurate infiruc- tiou thavthey could elfewhere ob:ain.
