LITERATURE.

The Letter Bouls of Sir Amias Puulet, Keejyer

of Mary Queen of Scots. Edited by John

i[orris, Priest of the Society of Jesus.

(London ; Bui'ns & Gates, 1H74.)

In April 1585 Mary Queen of Scots was

delivered into the custody of Sir Amias

Poulet, and he continued to be her keeper

until her execution in Februaiy 1587. His

predecessor in that onerous post, Sir Ralph

Sadler, had been censured, more than once,

for his indulgent treatment of his prisoner,

and Poulet was no doubt selected as a jailer

who was not likely to err on the same side.

Through the influence of the Earl of Leices-

ter he had, in the year 1--|7(3, been appointed

ambassador in France. He occupied that

post for three years, and, like his powerful

patron, he bad during his embassy professed

the strictest Puritan principles, and displayed

the most rooted hostility to the princes of

J orraine, as well as to their kinswoman the

Queen of Scots. She, well knowing the

antecedents of her new keeper, naturally

regarded him with suspicion and distrust,

while it is ob\'ious from his correspondence

that from first to last be never ceased to

look upon her as the mortal enemy botli of

liis creed and his sovereign. A great portion

of that correspondence is to be found in the

Record Office, and has been freely referred

to by recent historians ; but in the volume

before us are published for the first time

a number of letters of Sir Amias which

were preserved by bis descendants, and are

now deposited in the Bodleian Library.

Many of these are highly interesting, and

Mr. Morris has done good service to the

cause of historical truth in placing thembefore the public.

Sir Amias Paulet became the keeper of

the Queen of Scots at a very critical period

in the life of that unhappy princess. Thenegotiations set on foot for restoring her to

liberty had been finally broken off through

the greatest of all the misfortunes that had

yet befallen her—the base desertion of her

son. She was in miserable health, and from

the increased vigilance and severity of her

keepers it was plain that Elizabeth's min-

isters bad now determined that she should

never leave her prison alive. They knewthat, in spite of the desertion of her son, she

still had numerous and powerful partisans in

England. They knew, moreover, that al-

though France, or to speak more accurately

Catberine do Medici, was indifferent to herfate, Philip and the Prince of Parma weresteadily preparing to strike their long-

meditated blow for her deliverance. Bargh-ley, Leicester, and Walsingham had nowmade up their mind that she should remaina prisoner for life, and the instructions

which Poulet received before enteiing uponbis duties very clearly indicate the spirit

which at this time animated Elizabeth's

chief advisers :

—

" You shall order," say the instructions of Wal-singham, " that she shall not iu takiui; the air

pass throiiiih any towns, nor sutler people to he in

the way where she shall pass, appointiug somealways to go before to malce them to withdrawthemselves, for that heretofore, under colour of

giving of alms and other extraordiuary coiu'ses used

by her, she hath won the hearts of the people,

&c." (p. 6).

In consequence of these instructions Marywas, immediately on Poulet's arrival, pro-

hibited from distributing ber customarycharities to the poor. She naturally com-plained to Elizabeth of this fresh piece of

tyrann)", but her remonstrances were vain.

It was in vain, too, that she complained of

the damp unwholesome state of TutburyCastle, where she was at this time confined.

It was not until the close of the j-ear 1585

that, through the intervention of the FrenchAmbassador, she was allowed to remove to

Chartlej', a residence of the Earl of Essex,

in the same county. Shortly after her

arrival at this place her keeper received a

mysterious visit from a person named ThomasPhilipps, who acted a very important part in

the tragedy which was soon to follow.

This Philipps was a "decipherer" byprofession, and we have abundant proof that

he was also a most expert forger. He wasat this time concerting measures with a

miscreant named Gilbert Gittbrd, a Catholic

and a pretended partisan of the Queen of

Scots, for intercepting the whole of her

correspondence. And they succeeded so

well, that from about the middle of January

till the middle of July every letter that

passed to or from the Scottish Queen or her

secretaries, fell into their hands. During this

interval an extensive correspondence wascarried on between her and her friends both

in England and in France, and it is a very

significant fact that of the numerous letters

intercepted by Gilford and Philipps, andnow preserved in the Record Office, only one

contains matter implicating her in the plot

against Elizabeth's life. This letter wasobtained, after a second visit of Philipps to

Chartley, in July 1586, and that it has been

tampered with we have evidence as strong

as the nature of the case will admit; that it

contains a fabi'icated postscript, which is still

extant in the Record Office, is also certain.

Mr. Froude has attempted to explain whythis damning document was not produced byilary's accusers at Fotheringay, but the

answer of Mr. Morris is simple and conclu-

sive, pp. 239-242.

Poulet was the only one of Mary's keepers

who regarded her from first to last with

avowed hostility. With bis various pre-

decessors, Sir Francis Knollys, Lord Scrope,

Lord Shrewsbury, and Sir Ralph Sadler, she

lived on as amicable terms as under the

circumstances were to be expected. ButPoulet invariably treated his prisoner with

severity, and even at times with unpar-

donable rudeness. He himself describes a

characteristic conversation between themrespecting a granddaughter of Lady Shrews-

bury, who had been brought up and educated

by Mary from her childhood. Poulet in-

formed her one day, without any previous

notice, that the father of the young lady.

Sir Henry Pierpoint, had sent for her, andthat she must return home forthwith.

" It had bet-u reasonable," said Mary, " I should

have been advertised in time convenient to have

prepared all thiugs ueeessary for the young gentle-

woman."

She added that, in consequence of her tailor

having been hurt, her wardrobe was incom-

plete :

—

" I answered," said Poulet, " that it was well

Imown that she was not unprovided with suffi-

cient clothes, and that she went from hence to her

father's house, where she was no stranger."'• I must tell you," said this Queen, " that she

is unprovided of smocks, which are now in

making, and she may not want them."" Madam," quoth I, " one smock is sufficient to

bring her home,'' &c. (p. 204).

To end the controversy, the young lady-

was sent for, and she declared that she

would do nothing contrary to Mary's wishes.

"Then I told her," said Poulet, "that I

could not draw her out of her mistress's

chamber by force." He, accordingly, re-

tired to give vent to his chagrin in a long

letter to Walsingham, in which he left

" these women's causes " to his better con-

sideration. We may observe that the influ-

ence which Mary, at every period of her

life, possessed over her owu sex was very

remarkable ; of this we have another curious

example in the correspondence before us.

It is well known that a certain brewer of

Burton, whom they termed in derision " the

honest man," and who brought a weekly

supply of beer to Chartley Castle, was the

instrument employed by Gifford and Poulet

to intercept Mary's letters. But be durst

not tell his wife that be was playing the

part of traitor to the Scottish Queen. Thegood woman believed that, as he was most

liberally rewarded by ilai-y for his services,

he was acting honestly on her behalf, andshe always spoke of her as "her husband's

mistress," p. 190.

After sentence of death had been pro-

nounced upon Mary in the Star Chamber,upon the evidence of a letter said to have

been deciphered by Philipps, but of which

the original never was produced, and the

authenticity of which Philipps himself never

attested, Sir Drue Drury was sent to assist

Poulet iu bis task of watching the Scottish

Queen. She bad now been removed to

Fotheringay, where it had been determined

that the sentence should be executed. But

four dreary months elapsed before Elizabeth

could be induced to give the fatal order.

Poulet, impatient of the delay, never ceased

to urge upon Walshingham the necessity of

taking his prisoner's life. From the cor-

respondence now published we learn that be

even took upon himself to keep back for

many weeks Mary's last letter to Ehzaboth,

a composition of its kind unsurpassed in

history. He dreaded its eflect upon the

fickle mind of Elizabeth, and justly so, for

we learn from Leicester that it " wroughtears " when it finally reached his mistress.

But Elizabeth was surrounded by men whohad determined that the Scottish Queenshould die. She made a last attempt to

avoid the odium that she know would attach

to her for consenting to Mary's death byattempting to jiersuade Poulet to assassinate

her. But he was too wary to fall into the

142 THE ACADEMY. [August 8, 1874.

known, were divined by a sort of instinct.

Every approach to a tolerance of Popery waswatched with sleepless jealousy. In March1G73, Charles had been obliged to cancel the

Declaration of Indulgence which, in February,

he had declared he would " stick to." TheLords, on whom he relied, had counselled

settlement bj' way of bill, and tlie victory of

the Commons was secured by the Test Act.

When these letters begin, the town is mainly

occupied with the Dutch war and with the

question who will qualify for office by taking

the Sacrament before August 1, the date

fixed by the Act. There are some com-

plaints hero recorded against the cowardice

of the Dutch in lighting as best suited them-

selves, from a distance, as amusing as the

singular exhortation to courage which wascirculated among the officers of the Enghshfleet. This stimulating document gave three

reasons against running away. (1) It robs

the King of the service he has paid for.

(2) It is not safe. (3) It impeaches Pro-

vidence, that delights to exercise itself in

times of the utmost hazard.

Lord Clifibrd, whose orthodoxy was doubt-

ful, gave out that he would set apart a cer-

tain day for preparation for the Sacrament.That very day, " coming out of SomersetHouse, in a private coach, the back way,with only Father Patrick with him, at the

entrance of the Broad Place in the Strandthe coach was unfortunately overthro-mi,

and his Lordship and the Father exposed to

the view of the street ; one bringing his hat,

another his periwig, with compliments that

they were very sorry for the mischance."Clifford resigned, as did the Duke of

York, against whom the mea.sure was chiefly

aimed, but both were still watched narrowly." There is great waiting to see his Lordshipafter this great change." " It is not to

be writ the horrid discourses that passes

now upon his Royal Highness surrendering;

they call him Squire James, and say that hewas always a Romanist ; that he is retu-ing

into the country, &c." "The people will

have it that [the Duke of York] is verymelancholy."

A camp had been fo;med at Blackheathfor the mustering and exercise of the troopsthat were to pass over to aid the French in

Holland. Much difficulty was found in

raising troops for this unpopular service.

Buckingham, who hoped to command them,tried the novel affectation of decent pietv,

and took the Sacrament at York to allay" the jealousies of the growth of Popery," anexpedient he repeated the next year witheven worse success when in peril of Parlia-

ment. The command was, after all, givento Schomberg. As a foreigner, he was dis-

liked by the officers, whose bad example hadrelaxed the discipline he hoped to restore.

Glimpses are given of the dangerous spirit

of the men. At one time a drunken drum-mer is rescued from flogging by his com-rades, on the ground that the officers getdrunk and are not flogged. Again, whenLockhart's regiment is in open mutiny, anensign, " being somewhat brisk" and di-aw-ing his swoi-d, is immediately " knocked onthe head and left dead on the place."

The hatred of Franco and the hatred ofPopery met in the aversion everywhere ma-nifested at the marriage of the Duke of

York with ilary of ilodena. A pmpos of

the match,

" the common people talk anything, for every

carman and porter is now a statesman ; and, in-

deed, the coli'ee-houses are good for nothing else.

It was not thus when we drank nothing but sack

and claret, or English beer and ale. These sober

clubs produce nothing hut scandalous and cen-

sorious discourses."

Parliament, having met on October 9,

was prorogued for a week to give tim.e for

the mai-riage, which was, however, acci-

dentally delayed. Twice again it met, andtwice the Commons addressed the Kingagainst the consummation of the match.

The new army was voted a grievance, and" evil counsellors" were being named, whena third prorogation put off the day of reckon-

ing till January of the next year (IGT-t).

Then the Commons " went round to

work." While waiting the assembling of

Parliament, the members in town " stormed

at no rate," and declai-ed that the business

of the Dutch war should be fully examinedin the next session. AVhen the Houses met,

Buckingham, accused of crimes public andprivate, tried to run before the breeze, andthrew the blame on Ai-lington. He had his

due reward in condemnation by the Com-mons and displeasure from the King. It wasa bad time for the courtiers, and C'oventry,

"the cherub with the flaming sword," had a

fatiguing duty as he kept turning every way.

Addresses passed for the removal of Bucking-

ham and Lauderdale. Arlington's business

was referred to a committee, but further

proceedings were stayed by a sudden proro-

gation.

"Common fame" had been busy with

Williamson too. It was, perhaps, as well

for him that his Cologne business, dragging

a weary length, bad to be hastened. Therecord of it may be seen still in the Life of

Sir Leoline Jenkins, and he who reads will

run, unless he be of sterner stuff than most.

Sir William Temple and the Spanish am-bassador swept away the diplomatic cob-

webs and settled a peace in three days. Themain current of events flowed as has been

shown, but in the little eddies of this cor-

respondence are some curious and interest-

ing things. Not to speak of the tittle-

tattle about the new duchess—a parallel to

which may be found without looking far

—there are glimpses of Rupert, hot to

the last, the popular " hero " in the

Dutch war; of Blood, with his mysterious

"influence," his company endured with

sti'ange toleration by decent people

;

of the Duchess of Portsmouth, in an

ill-spelt French letter in answer to Sir

Joseph's congratulations on her dignity.

The riot and bloodshed in Gray's Inn, begunby the gentlemen of the inn pumping uponsome bailiffs ; the case of Brown, hanged at

St. Thomas Waterings for stealing a city

heiress, and not reprieved according to

custom when the King passed by, because

the Common Council had petitioned against

a pardon ; the case of Pierce, tried for the

same offence, but with this difference, that

he was a citizen, and was allowed to get off

with the country heiress owning him for her

husband, his guilt thus " bringing its ownpunishment ;" are some few samples of the

matters to be found in these volumes.

His Cologne business ended. Sir Josephreturned to be, in due time. Secretary ofState, President of the Royal Society, andmanager of the " formal parts " of the nego-tiations of William III.'s reign. Thosewould seem to have been the parts bestsuited to him. The reflection of his cha-racter in these letters, written for the mostpart by his creatures, who strove to outbideach other in their great man's favour, is

that of an industrious, subservient, solemncoxcomb, who was deeply interested in thefact that shops were duly shut on January30, and would sedulously bestow " marks ofhis politeness" upon La Querouaille. Heappears to have had in due proportion thehappy combination of the Italian proverbquoted by Lord Bacon— " a little of the fool,

and_ not too much of the honest." Mr.Christie pays a doubtful compliment to public.servants when he styles Sir Joseph William-son " a model official." R. C. Beowne.

The Ballads and Songs of Scotland, in. view oftheir Liflueuce on the Character of the People.By J. Clark ]\Iui-ray, LL.D., Professor ofMental and Moral Philosophy in McGillCollege, Montreal. (London : Macmillau& Co., 187-1.)

This book with the tempting title is a prize

essay reprinted for some occult reason.

Probably there never was published anythingwith less result, anything that left the readermore entirely where he was. The temptingtitle, which we have already conceded to it,

is its first merit and its last. It is only bythe comparative method that such a subject

could be treated with success ; and yet Dr.Murray either knows nothing about anyother ballad literature, or, if he does,

adroitly conceals his learning from the reader.

It is not by a few sporadic references to TomThumb or Thor's hammer, but by a systema-tic exhibition of identities and differences,

that we should hope for any elucidation ot

this dark and attractive subject. Andagain, to write such a book even passablywell, a man should have some notion ofelementary aesthetics. It would require ofhim a way of thinking on such subjects alittle more accurate, a use of language alittle more definite, than Dr. Clark Murray's.For example, our author defines the object

of the ballad as the "perfect imitation ofnature." It certainly should not be possible

for any one to emit such a definition whohad ever thought for two consecutiveminutes about the matter. Not even thoname of Addison (from whom Dr. Clark!Murray imitates his phrase, as fi-om a great

critical authority) can render tolerable so

primitive a confusion of ideas. The ballad is

a means of expression quite at the other endof the scale from any of the realistic arts ; it is

intensely abstract and subjective. This is to

belearned in the infant school of art criticism.

Whatever maybe Dr. Murray's attainments in

his own subject, it is obvious that his views of

aesthetics are neither precise nor interesting.

He is not the man to stand up and instruct

his fellows. The root of the matter is notin him.And accordingly, -we turn over his leaves

in a vain search for the solution, even for

the treatm.ent, of the most pressing ques-

cleared up for us. One would have wished

to know, for instance, whether the proud,

self-reliant, democratic sentiment, so strong

in Burns, is to be traced inany of the earlier

songs of Scotland. One would have wished

to hear something of the relations between

the measure of the verses and the music to

which they were sung. One would have

hoped for some reference to a peculiar

taking rhythm that recurs in all Scotch

versifiers down to Scott or even Mr. Robert

Buchanan. But of all this there is noword. Dr. Clark Murray goes on towards

his own end, and pas.ses these minor ques-

tions blandly and unconsciously by.

Hi's own end, then, or rather that of the

St. Andrews Society', of Glasgow, how is

that accomplished ? Well, this is the

strangest part of the whole affair. Wehear nothing whatever about the influence

of this literature upon the people, save in

passing and guarded allusions. Whetherthe Scotch are drunken because they havegood drinking songs, or vice versa, the

Doctor professes himself unable to decide.

Whether certain indecorous verses, to whichhe alludes with a modesty highly becomingin a Professor of Moral Philosophy, may not

have something to do with the number of

illegitimate births in country districts, he is

not altogether sure. In short. Dr. ClarkMurray refuses, with singular discretion, to

commit himself to any definite opinion onthe subject ; he is restrained, by a pleasing

diffidence, from deciding for us whether their

ballads and songs have had a great influence,

or no influence at all, upon the people of his

native land ; he had rather, it appears, leave

the matter open for the better judgment of

the reader. Now, modesty is a good thing

in itself; but the same modesty which with-

holds a man from resolving a question, should

certainly keep him back fi'om publishing the

fact of his indecision to the world in morethan two hundred pages of type. Indeed,

the psychological problem thus presented is

not without interest. Having set before

himself a certain task, and having failed to

accomplish it—having striven, honestly andstrenuously no doubt, to set a certain ques-tion at rest, and having utterly failed to

bring forth the least figment of an answer

—

having, in a word, miscarried of the wholejiurport of his book—we ask ourselves in

wonder, what possible reason could have in-

duced this unsuccessful enquirer to record,

at such great length, the story of his failure ?

The. Russians in Central Asia. By Frederickvon Hellwald. Translated by ColonelWirgmau. (London : Henry S. King &Co., 1873.)

Both these translations are very useful

additions to our knowledge of Central Asianaffairs. The finst on our list is written bya Russian, and reveals the spirit in whichRussia's advance towards our Indian fron-

tiers is viewed by the writer, who stands, it

would seem, in the light of an apologist

before a section of his fellow-countrymen,and thei'efore the excuses and extenuationfor her policy which he urges will be studiedwith interest by us. The other work will,

we think, take rank as a compendium of

reference on this question. It is by aneutral, aid is itself erudite and impartial—

^

such a work, in short, as might be expectedfrom so painstaking, cautions, and con-scientious a writer as Herr von Hellwald.

Captain Spalding, . the translator of theRussian work, does not inform us who theauthor of Khiva and Turkestan is ; but evi-

dently the author or authors— for thereappear to be traces of this book not beingthe work of one hand—are to a certain ex-tent behind tbe scenes, and have access toauthentic information.

Thctwo books should be read and comparedone with another, and here at the outsetwe are met by this difficulty—viz., the un-systematic way in which works referring to

Central Asia are generally presented to theBritish public, in regard to the spelling of

names and the use of foreign measures.Whether they are original works in the Eng.lish language, or translations, such as theworks before us, we insist that the ortho-graphy of the Eastern names should be cor-

rect, and that our weights and measuresand the Fahrenheit scale should bo invariably

used. We notice in these volumes, for in-

stance, that the name Perovski is used equallywith Peroosky. The proper way of spelling

the chief town of Central Asia in Russianpossession, according to the system ColonelWirgmau professes to have adopted, is

Tashkand,so also Samarkand—notTashkendor Tashkent, or Samarcand. So also suchfrenchified orthography as Ak Mechet,Djazzuk, Tchemkent, should be avoided.Colonel Wirgman's transliteration of Easternnames is, however, much the most correct.

Again, when reading of marches or heightsof mountains, or degrees of heat, we preferappreciating at once what is intended, with-out having to go through the computationof turning versts or German miies intoEnglish miles, or degrees Reaumur into

degrees Fahrenheit, or Paris feet into Englishlong measure. This defect the translatorsmight with very httle extra trouble haveremedied, thereby considerably enhancingthe pleasure with which these interesting

volumes will be read. We must also add,that we could wish the names on the mapsand those in the text agreed in the spellingbetter than they do.

Khiva and Turheslan is the first instal-

ment of a series of essays or treatises on thevarious countries comprehended within thescope of the Central Asian Question ; and wehope Captain Spalding will hereafter treat

us to tran.slations of the remaining portions ofthe Russian author's programme, viz., onthe Khanates of Bukhara and Kokan, as also

on Afghanistan and Baluchistan. As it is

evident that ineither of the authors of the

volumes before us have visited tbe countries

they describe, their works can only be re-

garded as compilations fiom various sourcesof information. Khiva avd Tnrl-estaii is avow-edly written for and addressed to Russianopinion regarding the advances past andfuture of that empire towards the south,

because it appears there is in Rus.siaa strono-national party who deprecate further annexa-tion. With this object the habits andcustoms of the Turkomans and the vice andcruelty of the Khivan Court are minutclvdescribed, and it appears to us slightly over-drawn. The pci-sonal narratives of Vamberyand De Blocqueville form the groundworkfor most of the descriptive portions.

Herr von Hellwald's industry is astonish-ing. The researches he has made on CentralAsian matters have enabled him to present inhis volume, The Russians in Central Asia, amass of previously not generally known in-

formation concerning the campaigns againstKhiva and Bukhara ; but it is chieflywith regard to the advance of the Russianfrontier towards China and Kokan and thenature of her relations with our new ally,

the ruler of Kashgar, that we think themost important light has been afforded.His chapter on tlie military operationsagainst Samarkand is highly instructive, andwe are led to ask ourselves, if causes similarto those which led to that campaign shouldagain present themselves, what guarantee is

there that similar measures of policy may notbe adopted by Russia ? It is not, of course,our purpose here to do otherwise than tonotice bi-icfly the volumes before us, whichwe have done

; but we cannot refrain fromremarking how rapid Russian advance hasbeen of late years. Commencing with 18o9—the date of General Perovski's abortivebut memorable expedition against Khiva,Herr von Hellwald shows how, nine yearsafterwards, by the erection of the forts ofKarabutalski, Uralskoi, Orenburgskoi, andAralski, the peace of the Kirghiz steppe wasguarded, and the basis of operations in thevalley ofthe Sir Daria secured. In anotherfive years Russia by advancing another stepplanted her standards on the forts of AkMusjid-Kasul, and Karmakchi, and the line

of the Sir Daria fell into her hands. In1859, six years afterwards, Chulah Kurganwas taken ; then followed in quick succes-sion the seizure of Yani-Kurgan in ISGl,Aulia Ata and Huzrut-i-Turkestan in 1864,as also that of Chemkand. Afterwardsfollowed the fall of Tashkand, aud, in 1868, adirect advance on Kashgar was contemplated,and a fort south of the Issutkul was built,

Samarkand was taken in 18G8, and Buk-hara practically brought under Russiansubjection. In 1869, further operationstowards the south were interrupted by therevolt of the Kasaks, Kalmuks and Klr-ghis inhabiting the steppes from the Donto line of the Sir Daria. This revolt is

said to have been stirred up by Khivanemissaries. In 1870 Kitat was taken, andthen another point a long way off to theeast, but still v.ith the same object in

view, was taken—viz., Kulja, in 1871. Thefall of Khiva in 1873 completes the list as far

as is no%v known. But who is bold enough tosuppose Russia can stay where she is, orthat the fanciful line of delimitation ima-gined for Afghanistan will secure respectfor that kingdom ? We have no pretensionsto vaticination, but is it very speculativ e to as-

sign 1875 for the capture of Merve ? Or wouldit be very rash to say that in 1880 or 1885the capture of Andekui Balkh and Kunduzwill not enable Russia to complete her mill-

lie read in tlie light of tlie narrative wliicb

they resume ; they are the record of tlie

final impression of Tiberins's career ; it is

hardly a legitimate procedure to drawout and sometimes exaggerate (a/regius

means less than immaculate) the proposi-

tions they involve, and then apply these

separately to the diff'erent stages of that

career. It would have been better, instead

of sacrificing everybody, historians and con-

temporaries, to Tiberius, to have tried to

discover a theory of his character whichwould include not only the facts on which it

is Herr Stahr's merit to have insisted ade-

quately, but those facts on which contempora-

ries based their estimate. No doubt those

contemporaries were corrupt and spiteful ;*

biit it does not follow that their estimate

always proceeded fi-ora corruption or spite,

or that a historian is never to repeat andendorse the judgment of contemporaries

unless he can reproduce all the evidence it

rested on. The contemporaries of Tibei'ius

were in a position to know if it was true

that Livia's influence made his rule milder,

and that he thought it a good thing that

Germanicus died when he did ; and a his-

torian might fairly repeat both facts withoutproof, if they were believed at the time. Ofcourse the facts might be false ; and it is

possible to make almost any theory good if

a man will resolutely exhaust in its favourevery hypothesis which is separately per-

missible, rather than try another theorywhich fits parts of the evidence more natu-rally.

Probably the character of Tiberius is oneof the problems on which we may expectmuch light from the progress of physiology,

which will reveal to us many definite pos-

sibilities of human nature, one or more ofwhich will prove the" key to his life. Heseems to have been one of the men whosepower of assimilation, both moral and intel-

lectual, is greater than their power of initia-

tion. In his nephew Claudius the samecontrast was heightened to a grotesque ex-

tent ; he coidd not speak coherently, butAugustus was struck by his declamation;when he had to establish connexions be-

tween words or between ideas for himself,

he was positively shortwitted ; when he hadto use and combine connexions alreadyestablished, he was rather clever than not.

The defect in Tiberius's power of initiation

did not amount to imbecility as it did in

Claudius, but it was accompanied from thefirst by a certain perversity which contrastedwith the sheepish good nature of his nephew.On the other hand, Tiberius's power of as-

similation was so robust as to amountalmost to genius, especially in militarymatters, where his combinations were so ex-

tensive and precise as to have a look ofpositive grandeur and originahty ; thougheven here the element of insight and inven-tion is less, it may be, than in less merito-rious commanders who acted on a smallerscale. It is to be noticed that he was apre-eminentlj- cautious and anxious com-mander. We have a letter from Augustus,showing that he accepted the demoralisationof his troops as an irremediable fact, and

* Even this is in one sense a presumption againstTiberius. We are to expect great faults in the bestrepresentatives of a vicious class and period.

made his dispositions accordingly. Augus-tus found the dispositions admirable,

and Augustus was doubtless right ; only,

without depreciating the extent of Tiberius's

excellence, it is permissible to mark that it

was of a special kind. Though he attached

the troops to him, aud they were glad to get

him back, he was not one of the com-manders who can inspire courage and su-

periority to danger. In this connexion it

may be observed that the Claudii, whoserepresentative he was, seem to have hadlittle military aptitude. Contemporaries

seem to have been sti-uck by his inheriting

the " ferocity " and arrogance of the Claudii

:

it has been questioned recently whetherall anecdotes in support of this view of the

faniilv were not invented by Licinius Macer,

because it can be shown that the Decemvirand Appius Claudius Caecus were not loyal

to the patriciate or the nobility; and were

proud, if they were proud, for themselves,

not for their order. It is certain that

Tiberius's manners, from the first, weremarked by the kind of reserve that is con-

sidered haughty ; and Augustus had to

apologise for him to the senate, with the

observationthat his nature, not his will,* wasto blame. This is probably to be under-

stood not only of his gauclterie, but of his

turn towards severity. "We are told (appa-

rently before his exile) of Augustus gently-

reproving him for treating Ubels (on Augus-tus) as intolerable, i.e., matter for heavypmiishment, because he could not see that,

as Augustus told him, the essential thing

was not that nobody should be able to speak

ill of the new dynasty, but that no one

should be able to injure it. All through his

life Tiberius underrated the necessity andstability of the new order of things. Drusus,

his brother, who was open-handed andpopular, may very likely have underrated

this necessity still more. There is no reason

to doubt that contemporaries thought, and

quite rightly, that Drusus had some notion

of restoring "liberty," or even that Sueto-

nius had seen a letter which he had written

in this sense to Tiberius about the advan-

tages of forcing Augustus to act on his re-

peated professions, and allow his extra-

ordinary powers to expire. The sons of

Livia could have commanded continiied

employment and authority from their fellow

citizens more certainly than from the hus-

band of their mother. It is quite in ac-

cordance with the scrupulous, jealous temper

of Tiberius that if he received such a letter

he should have thought it the safest course

for himself to show it to Augustus ; even

the kindest course to his brother, as proving

the matter was no worse. Suetonius finds

in this the first instance of Tiberius's ten-

dency to quarrel with his relations. As he

certainly loved his brother, we are tempted to

set aside Suetonius's story and his reflection

as mere spiteful gossip. On the other handthere are people whose nature it is to fret

under ties which they have no wish to

break, and always to be complaining of re-

lations whom they would miss ; and it will

be seen hereafter that Tiberius probably be-

longed to this unfortunate class.

Herr Stahr is undoubtedly right in insist-

* Naturae vitia esse non animi.

ing on the great injury done to Tiberiusin his divorce and second marriage. Hisfirst wife suited him perfectly : she wasa daughter of the blufl', good-humouredAgrippa, whose motto had been that concordmakes small things great, and discord makesgreat things small. Tiberius doted uponher, perhaps because she was friendly andhomely, and relieved him of himself as winedid in another way (for there is not theslightest reason to doubt Pliny's statementthat he drank hard in a quiet way ; and thestory that he, when emperor, appointed twoof his cronies, Piso and Pomponius, to

high offices after a long drinking bout,with the remai'k that they were friends

for work and playtime,* is not like an inven-tion). He had caught the fancy of Julia

during her husband's life, which was anadditional reason why Augustus should bewilling to gratify his wife's ambition by be-

stowing his widowed daughter upon his

stepson, although to do so it was nece.=sary

to break up a happy home. Julia soon tired

of her bargain. Tiberius was tall and hand-some, but he was very short-sighted, aud(to break himself most likely of a conse-

quent tendency to poke and peer) he hadcontracted a habit of stalking about withhis head thrown back. Julia, whose ownmanners were very good, was ashamed, for

this reason or for others, of her shy, morose,undignified husband, and came to a conclu-sion, too natural to need much support froma comparison of the nobility of the Claudii

with that of the Julii and Uctavii, that herstepmother's son was not a match for herfather's daughter. She abandoned herself

to her passions, and she emploj-ed her para-mours to help her libel her husband. Mean-while her sons were growing up ; her father

doted upon them ; and, though he conferred

the tribunician power for five years uponTiberius, he accompanied the gift with anEastern mission that was not unlike a banish-

ment. Tiberius had reason to feel himselfill-used—as if his home had been broken upin order that he might be qualified to act as

a stopgap till the sons of his false wife

should be old enough to steji into their

father's inheritance. He was probably right

in believing what a more generous manwould not have believed—what a wiser manwould have ignored, though he believed it.

His conduct was characteristic : he was not .

man enough, as Herr Stahr admits, to havehis grievance out with Augustus ; he wasnot man enough to do his duty in the Eastwithout arricre pcnsce, and come back to

fight for his position, if need were, withanother claim to public gratitude. Hesimply gave way to disgust at his situation,

pretended that his health had broken down,and insisted upon going to Rhodes andstudying philosophy. Under similar cir-

cumstances Aginpjâ had gone to Lesboswhen it was desirable to have him out . ofthe way of Marcellus ; but Agrippa had notrefused his commission, though he had com-mitted its execution to lieutenants. Tiberius,

no doubt, had more speculative curiosity

than Agrippa ; he had more of a perverse

conscientiousness ; he persuaded himself that

he had had his turn, and that it was his

duty to make room for the J'oung men.

Augustus had not by any means decided to

discard him, and begged him to waive his

request, which he saw better than Tiberius

would be taken, and quite rightly, as an in-

sult. But Tiberius was too weak to change

his mind freely, and too headstrong to yield

to pressure. After fasting for fom- days he was

allowed to go to Rhodes ; and, when he asked

to return, he was forbidden to do so until

his wife's son had given his consent. Duringthe latter part of his exile he was in posi-

tive danger, and with his natural mean-spiritedness -wTote to Augustus asking to

be placed under surveillance. Wo are told

that he led the hfe of a sullen voluptuary;

if the charge were true it was not of a kind

to affect his real reputation, though it wouldlay him open to a good deal of insincere

invective. Soon after his retiu-n the wayto the throne cleared itself again by the

death of the two elder of Augustus's grand-

sons, whose " will to Uve " might have been

stronger, but for the knowledge that Livia

wished them away, and who may well havefancied themselves poisoned when they weresimply too liases to throw off colds or fevers.

Augustus had to adopt Tiberiiis " for the

sake of the Commonwealth," and Tiberius,

having no tact to guide him in his new rela-

tion, fell back upon punctilious propriety,

and never allowed Augustus to forget for a

moment that he was under pafria pottstas :

otherwise the years in which he was asso-

ciated with Augustus in the empire werethe best and most prosperous of Tiberius's

life ; they are the time of his brilliant cam-paign against Marbod, who had established

a formidable power in Bohemia, and of the

reconquest of Pannonia and lllyricum fi-om

which Augustus repeatedly asked him to

withdi-aw, and of the well-conducted mili-

tary promenade in Germany, which did

something to retiieve the honour of the

eagles after the disaster of Varus.

G. A. SiMC'ox.

ScoHlsli Rivers. By the late vSir ThomasDick Lauder, Baronet, Author of the"Morayshire Floods," &c. With Illus-

trations by the Author and a Preface bj-

John Brown, M.D., Author of " Rab andhis Friends," &c. (Ediaburgh : Edmons-ton & Douglas, 1874.)

Dr. John Brown calls this, in his pleasantpreface to it, a delightful book ; and Dr.John Brown is a good judge. A delightful

book it certainly is, and delightful in noordinary way. Although it is not thirtyyears since the author left it unfinished at

his death, it is already in some sense anantiquity. The style is farther away from usthan many styles older in point of date.

Thei-e is throughout a sort of ponderouseditorial levity, that lias now gone somewhatiuto disuse. We are saluted as " gentlereader" and "gentlest of all readers."

Social gossip about men and things andperpetual compliments to tlie nobility andgentry, by whose estates the river maychance to go, speak to lis of a time whenScotland was to some extent a separate coun-ti-y and an author could address himself to aScottish public, almost small enough to

deserve the name of a clique and with a

clique's special knowledge and special readi-

ness to be pleased. In speaking to ns as he

does, we feel that the author is treating us

as one of the family. His garrulousness

has all the character of personal intercourse.

We begin to regard his " old and muchvalued friend. General Sir James Russel," as

an old and much valued friend of our own

;

at least, we are sure the author would beglad to give us an introduction, not only to

him, but to all the friends and acquaintances

who come in his way, and so frank us, for a

whole holiday, from one country house to

another, all over Tweeddale and the valley

of the Tyno.This is just one of the qualities that make

the book delightful. It is in no literary

sense, it is merely from the pleasure of

making a loveable acquaintance and goingthrough interesting scenery, that we canaccoi'd it merit. We have called the style

editorial ; indeed, it is not unlike that of aprovincial editor's description of the annual

games, with just such little touches of per-

sonal compliment as the editor would deal

out to his distinguished fellow-townsmenand the various successful competitors.

Now, at first sight, one would have thoughtthat a book like this would depend almost

entirely upon style ; that a book whichmerely promises to set forth to us, with ap-

propriate gossip, the changeful character of

the valley of one river after another, if it

failed in the point of vivid descriptive

writing, would be a failure altogether. Butwe have a proof to the conti'ary before us.

Scottish Eivers is a delightful book, in virtue

of the delightful character of the author andthe delightful character of his subject. It

is all about things that are in themselves

agreeable. The natural heart of man is

made happy by hearing that the wild cattle

of Ettrick Forest were tliree times the size ofthose hcpt at Gliillingham ; and all the more,perhaps, if we do not know what that was

—

there is the more rein for picturesque ima-gination. We should be very sorry for any-

one who did not care to hear about Thomasthe Rhymer and the Black Dwarf, aboutborder-i-ievers, fugitive Jacobites, and huntedCovenanters. The breath of Walter Scott

has gone out over these dry bones of old

Scotch history ; the work of imagination is

done to our hand ; and as we turn over these

leaves, just as when we follow the actual

course of the rivers themselves, we are

accompanied by the pageant world of the

Waverley novels, and Murmioii, and the Lai/

of the Last Minstrel.

Moreover, there is a great deal of quota-

tion in the book ; not only Scott, but all

manner of old ballads and old songs take

the tale, now and again, out of the mouth of

the author ; and the pages are pleasantly

broken up and lightened with these snatches

of verse. It is the fashion, now-a-days, to

run down this good old custom of quotation

;

we write prose so admirably, it seems, that

these scraps would give even pain to the

cultured reader, as an interruption to the

sustained measure of the sentences. It maybe so ; but there is something to be said onthe other side ; and we greet some fiimiliar

passage when we find it in another man'sbook, like a friend in strange company.The great point, however, in this book

upon Scottish Rivers, is the sincerity of the

author's own delight in the stories he repeats,

the verse he quotes, the scenery and the

animals he seeks to describe to us. It is bythis sense of enjoyment that the whole bookis kept alive. Sometimes it croj)s out in oneway, sometimes in another ; sometimes it is

his passion for fishing that adds gusto to

what he has to say of a place—as, for ex-

ample : "Below Kirkurd, the Tairth runsthrough a series of valuable water meadows,in a deep and u.niform stream, resembling in

character an English river; and," he adds,' we are much mistaken if it be not full of

fine fat trouts." One can hear the smack of

the bps, in these words. His whole past

life has been so pleasant ; he has such ahost of sunny recollections, that the one

jostles the other and they come tumblingforth together in a happy confusion : his

basket is so full of those " fine fat trouts " of

the memory, that it is a sight to see himempty it before us. Even fishing is passed

by in superior ecstacies :

—

" This is one of the most heautiful parts of the

Tweed," he s.xys, "and well do we remember the

day when, wandering in our boyhood up hither

from Melrose, we found ourselves for the first timein the midst of scenery so grand and beautiful.

The rod was speedily put up, aud the flj'-hook wasexchanged for the stetch-hook. We wanderedabout from point to point, now and then reclining

on the grass, and sometimes, from very wanton-ness, wading into the shallows of the dear stream;

and so we passed away some hours of luxurious

idleness, the pleasure of which we shall nevercease to remembfr.''

Is not that passage enough, of itself, to con-

vince the reader ? He will find the bookfull of the like. He wiU find that this man,not very wise perhaps, certainly not verycunning in words, had a great faculty of

jsleasureable attention and pleasureable re-

collection, thai he had noticed things moreclosely than most of us, and liked thembetter, and that he could speak of 'what hethus observed and loved in a plain diffuse

way that is full of gusto and most truly

human.And the last thing to be thought of, is

that the book was written during the author's

final illness. " What a place for linnets'

nests and primroses in the lovely .springtime

of the year !" be exclaims, as the name of

Blackford Plill comes from under his pen.

Would one not fancy he was a schoolboy

with forty springtimes before him ? It i.s

easy, after this, to believe what Lord Cock-burn said of him, that " his dying deserves

to be remembered, for it reconciles one to

the act." Robert Louis Stevenson.

406 THE ACADEMY. [Oct. 10, 1874.

Mk. Bauermah, the gentleman lieputed by the

Duke of Argyle to examine the iron and coal de-

posits of India, has issued his report, hut it is not

yen' encouraging as regards the prospect of future

mineral wealth for India. The best iron ore he

has seen is the brown hematite of the NerbuddaYalley, which is found in limestone about twenty-

five miles north of Gurrawara ; and if good coal be

discovered in the borings now going on there, that

station would form a good site for iron worksproducing small bar and sheet iron and similar

high classed products. There is no locality

which answers perfectly all the requirements

for iron working, but on the whole Raniganj

seems to offer the best site. It is only fair,

however, to that distinguished body, the Geolo-gical Survey of India, to remark that this con-

clusion entirely confirms their previously ex-

pressed opinions. At the time that they surveyedIlaniganj, it was considered unadvisable to recom-mend the establishment of large ironworks, butsince then increased facilities of communication,•discoveries of better coals, the possibility of mak-ing coke, and the steady rise in the price of im-ported iron, have made the successful manufactureof iron a less doubtful speculation than before.

It is much to be wished in the interests of India

that these expectations may be realised.

The Nile appears from all accounts to have oc-

casioned great anxiety to the Egyptian people

during the last fortnight. About the begiuniugof September news came from the Soudan that

the summer rains had abnormally swollen the

stream ; shortly afterwards, it appeared that at

four places in Upper Egypt the river had bui'st its

bounds, and had laid a large extent of countr}-

under water, the loss of life and property beingvery great. In this crisis great energy was dis-

played by the Government and people. Not less

than 200,000 men have been distributed along the

com'se of the river and the great canals in LowerEgypt, and at the weakest points watchmen are

posted every fifty or sixty yards. At Damietta, adyke gave way, but it was promptly repaired, andbeyond that caused by infiltration, there nowappears to be no prospect of any serious damage.The most recent telegrams state that the sub-sidence of the waters has actually commenced.

The Chicago Tribune states that General Sheri-dan, in his recent expedition to the Black IliUs

(ah'eady noticed in our columns), took the pre-

caution to take two experienced gold-seekers withhim, and that they were fairly surprised at theabundance of gold in the district. The deposits

extend for about 150 miles north and south and200 miles from east to west. The region is at

present occupied by the Sioux Red Skins, andthey form such a mixture of hostile and friendly

ting them to " move on " westward withoutLaving to resort to force.

COLLEGE FOR MEN AND WOMEN.

Ajs inaug'ural meeting of this institution will beheld at eight o'clock next Monday evening, at St.

Oeorge"s liaU, Laugham Place, under the presi-

dency of Mr. Thomas Hughes. For ten yearspast it has been known to many good friends as

the College for A\'orking M"oiuen, 20 Queen'sSquare, and under this designation it performed asmall, but not unimportant, educational function.Here came mothers, that they might be able to

teach their children in the course of time. Here•came certain brave girls, out of a love of know-ledge that was stronger than the love of pleasure•or the natm-al weariness that follows a laboriousday. And how constant and unflagging this loveof knowledge was ! Year after year found thesame students following up one course ofstudy afteranother. It would have been a pity, certainly, hadthere been a want of opportunity for this finedevo-tion. For a long time, however, it has been the de-sire of the managers to realise the idea of the late

Professor Maurice, and so to enlarge the scope of

their institution as to throw open classes, library

and conversation room, to men as well as to

women ; and this after long deliberation, and after

having assured themselves of the sympathy andco-operation of their old students, they have at

last resolved to do.

We ar'! all familiar with the current argumentsagainst mixed classes. Similar classes, however,are akeady successfully caiTied on in many insti-

tutions alike in I,ondon and the country ; andthere are mam' special reasons why they shouldbe employed under the circumstances. Thecouncil remind their friends generally "of the

man}' evils which arise from the separation of

men and women in the worlds of learning andthought, and of the ennobling influence whicheach sex has upon the other, when bothare united in a common work with serious

purpose and endeavour." But out of the spe-

cial circumstances, as I say, there arise special

reasons in favom' of the scheme now adopted.

The number of students with the old system wasnecessarily so limited that there was a certain

waste of power, especially in the higher subjects,

which will, it is hoped, be now no longer the case.

Again, wives and sisters will be free to come to

the College under the new conditions, bringing hus-

band or brother aloug with them ; and the prose-

cution of some worthy study will no longer entail

upon them the discomfort and actual dauger of

another daily separation, besides that already en-

tailed upon them by their necessary work. Menand women, besides, will thus be brought together

by common devotion to culture instead of the

usual haphazard jiuxtaposition and perpetual" handy-dand}' " of the world. And once broughttogether, they will associate in an atmosphere not

otherwise attainable for them ; their intercourse

will take on something of refinement from the

example of those among whom they move ; andso culture will be begun in them, not only of a

deeper kind, but in a manner more intimate andeffectual.

Besides increased supervision, and the cai-e

which the Council has taken to leaven the life of

the college by the presence of those well qualified

to do so, the programme will remain as before.

The classes will include, as before, those onINIathematics, Literature, Languages, Physical

Science, History, Law, and Art. The Saturdayevening lectures will be given, for the present

session, hy Professor Morley, Mr. Furnivall, andMr. Newton, of the British Museum. To all

who have the higher culture of the working-classes truly at heart, this announcement cannot

faU to be of interest ; and the iuterest wOl be-

come more serious and hopeful, I believe, as the

facts are more carefully weighed.

HENELE IBSEN S BETTIEir.

Christiania : September 24.

This somewhate sedate—not to say dull—capi-

tal has during the past few days been the scene

of unwonted excitement. This break in our habits

is not due, however, as general!}' is the case at

this season to the meeting of any learned congress,

or to the more trivial festivities of an international

exhibition, but simply to the visit of the national

poet—Ilenrik Ibsen. For many years he has

lived in Dresden—turning his back upon his

native land because he imagined his country-

men too dull or too careless to give his works the

attention they deserved. And it must be aUowedthat had it not been for the high praise accorded

to Ibsen in Germany, and more recently in England,it is probable that many Norwegians would have

been even now ignorant of the genius, whomtheir want of sympathy had banished from the

country. Of late years however, and moreespecially since the revival of the national theatre

at Christiania, the works of Ibsen have becomebetter known to his compatriots, and the more they

were known the more were their beauties acknow-ledged and appreciated.

From Dresden, where Ibsen had been living

during the last ten years, he has written one after

another in rapid succession five or six pieces, be-

sides a considerable quantity of minor poems,which have obtained for him the undisputed rankof the greatest of living Scandinavian poets. Hisprincipal works are Srand, Per Gipit, De UngesForbund, Koiu/semtierne, Kejser og Gulilcfer, mostof which are accessible to those unacquainted withNorsk through the medium of excellent Germantranslations. Li spite, however, of their admira-

tion for his great talents, the Norwegians weretoo good patriots to be able to pardon their

master-singer for having abandoned his native

land. It seemed to them as though his workslost some of their value for them by being written

in a foreign country. On the other hand, they

explained in some degree the satire and irony of

his writings to the bitterness with which they

thought he regarded his country, and took as

pointed against themselves and their former blind-

ness his sharpest and most cutting epigrams.

During the ten years of his self-imposed exile,

Ibsen paid frequent ^-isits to both Denmark andSweden, and in both countries was received withall the honom' due to his genius and renown. Bydegi'ees a feeling grew up in Norway that hewould never put his foot again on his native land,

aud that he continued to look upon his com-patriots as his enemies. That this feeling waswholly without foundation is evident from the

events of the last few weeks. Ibsen after passing

a short time in some of the remote districts of the

country, and revisiting the scenes with which he

was once so familiar, anlved in Christiania a few

days ago. The anger of his countrymen vanished

as if by magic, and Ibsen has been the object of

more enthusiasm than it was possible to imagine

the lymphatic Norwegian capable of feeling or

displacing.

The great fete, however, was that given by the

students of the Christiania Lfniversity. Theyformed themselves into a vast procession and wentto Ibsen's lodgings to offer their homage to the

poet. On reaching his lodgings in the Pilestraeda

a deputation was sent up to him, and on hearing

of their arrival, Ibsen came down into the street.

After singing the first two verses of a hymncomposed for the occasion, the students saluted

the Skald with loud cries of "Long life to

•Henrik Ibsen !" accompanied by loud hurrahs, in

which the vast crowds of bystanders joined.

Ibsen then addressed them in the following terms,

explaining through them to the country his real

feelings and the cause of his long estrangement:

—

"Gentlemen,—Diu-ing the past few years, whilst

living in a foreign country, the feeling has arisen

from time to time more strongly in my mind that I

must see my native land again. I will not disguise

from you that it was with much doubt and uneasiness

that I finally decided upon this journey home. Mystay woidd, it is true, be but short ; but I felt how-even short it might be, it would always prove long

enough to dispel an illusion in which I would fain

have continued to live. I asked myself, In what spirit

will my countrjTnen receive me ? The flattering re-

ception accorded to my works could not fully re-

assure me, for the question still remained how do I

personally stand \yith my fellow countrymen ? For it

is not to be denied that on more points than one there

has been dissension between us. As far as I have

been able to understand, the complaints urged against

me were of a twofold nature. People took it for

granted that I looked with unwarrantable bitterness

on my personal and private relations with my country-

men—nay, further I was even accused of directing

attacks against peculiarities and incidents of our

national life, which in the opinion of many had a

claim to be treated with anything but irony.

" I do not think I can make a better use of the pre-

sent moment, so fidl of gratification and honour to me,

than to devote it to an explanation and a confession.• I have never made my private circumstances the

immediate subject of any poem. In former sorrowful

days I attached less importance to these circumstances

Oct. 10, 1874.]THE ACADEMY. 407

than I have since been able to justify. When the

eider's nest was plunilered for the first, second, and

third times it was robbed of its illusions and of great

life-inspiring hopes. At times, too, I felt that I -with

others stood responsible for a. period when high

thoughts and noble aspirations were buried under

songs and feasting.* But let me leave this subject, and

ask what is the poet's work ? I understood it late in

life. It consists mainU' in seeing, but .also in making

others see, objects as they appear to the poet's eye.

But one's own life-experience can thus alone be seen

and shown. This need of life-experience is precisely the

secret spring of all modern poetry. Every poem I

have composed during the past ten years I have lived

through in spirit. But no poet's experience can be

his own alone. That which he sees and feels, his

contemporaries see and feel also, for if they did not

how could the giver render himself intelligible to the

receiver ?

"And what have been the life-experiences whence

my poetry was inspired ? The field was wide. I \VTO_to

partly of those things which, but as glimpses and in

my best hours, have moved me with the living force of

all that is great and beautiful. I -BToto of that which

stood above my daily self, and wrote of it in order to

hold it fast before my eyes and in my soul. But I

wrote also of things of an opposite nature—of things

that inw<ard contemplation shows us as the dregs and

refuse of our own being. In this case the poet's work

has been to me as a bath, whence I felt that I arose

purer, healthier, freer. Yes, Gentlemen, no one can

represent as a poet that of which he has not to a cer-

tain degree, and at all events at certain moments, had

the model in himself. Where is the man amongst us

who has not, now and .again, felt and acknowledged

in himself a contradiction between word and act, be-

tween wish and dtity, between life and doctrine ? Or

where is the man who has not on some ooc;isions

revelled in a feeling of egotistical self-sufBciency, and

half as a foreboding, half in downright earnest, painted

his state in fair words botli to himself and others ?

"In speaking thus to you as students, my words

will be understood as they should be. The student's

mission is in many points identical with the poet's

;

the one as well as the other has to render first to him-

self, and then through himself to others, a clear account

of the questions both temporal and eternal th.at agitate

the times and the world to which he belongs.

"In this sense I may truly say that during the

years I h.aye spent on foreign soil. I have tried to be a

good student. A poet belongs by nature to the far-

seeing. Never have I seen my native land and the

life there so fully, so clearly, so" closely, as I did_from

my far-off home beyond the sea.

" And now, my dear countrymen, let me end with a

few words that also have reference to an experience in

real life. When the Emperor Julian towards the

close of his rareer saw himself surrounded by crumb-

ling ruins, nothing struck so deep iuto his mind as

the thought that all he had achieved was to be re-

membered with honour and esteem by a few cold cl**ar

heads, whilst his advers;iry was enshrined with love

in warm liring human hearts. And pondering on

this ancient story a question has often arisen in myown mind during mj- solitude in a distant country.

To that question the youth of Norway has replied to-

night, and by an answer fuller and warmer than I

expected to receive. I shall carry back that answer

as the richest memory of my visit to my country-

men, and I trust that" the events of this day are an

experience wliich will some day be reflected in a future

work. If this shoidd h.appen, and if I do some day

send home such a work, I beg the students to accept

it as a clasp of the hand, and as thanks for this our

meeting I beg them to receive it as a work in which

they have a part."

After the speech, which was received with'oud cheers, the students sang the third verse of

their song and then quietly dispersed.

The evening closed -with the performance of

Ibsen's comedy of De Z'nr/es Forbund at the

Xational Thea-tre. Edith Pradez.

* The poet here alludes to the " Scandinavism

"

which the youth of his gener.ation imagined they could

found by means of speeches, patriotic songs, and fes-

tive gatherings of the students of three Scandinavian

kingdoms. Nothing came of this powerless efferves-

cence of enthusiasm, and Scandinavia still awaits her

Bismarck.

BARRY CORNWALL.

JIb. Rryan Waller Procter, better knownas Barry Cornwall, who died last Monday, was a

pathetic example of the wastefuhiess of destiny.

lie was horn thirty years too soon, or two hundred

years too late, and so his rare and high powers

ran to seed. He had great quickness and delicacy

of literary feeling, and a combination not very

common, of force and vividness of expression,

•n'ith a suggestive artistic reserve. He had not the

kind of imagination which is capable of organising

and peopling a coherent ideal world, and the real

world did not supply him -with the materials

which would have fertilised his talent. He never

revolted against the complicated decorums of

modern civilisation and respectability, but his

works show an inexpressible pining after a freer

and simpler life, where primitive passions could

have fair plav, and attain to an ide.il elevation.

Instead of finding characters and scenery amonghis contemporaries to inspire him, he had to in-

sph-e himself with the literature of the Kenais-

sauce, especinlly that of the Elizabethan age.

His literary activity was concentrated into a very

small space—the years between 1819 and 182.3

;

after that he wrote nothing except songs and

editions and criticisms and biography. It is

curious at first sight that he should have wTitten

nothing till he was over thirty, if the accepted

date of his birth be right ; but after he had es-

caped from the solicitor's office at Calne to the

intellectucil atmospliere of London, and the com-

parative freedom of the bar, he had to educate

himself in company •with those who, like Lamband Leigh Ilimt, were rediscovering the age of

Shakspere and Boccacio. To judge from Mr.

Jerdan's autobiography, he had scarcely begun to

write before he began to publisli, and, when he

began, he poured out a singularly fuU and rapid

stream of all kinds of verse, that was never hasty

or unfinished in form, though often crude and

incomplete in substance. Ilis writings were well

received, but he found he had to work at his pro-

fession, and the muse is a jealous mistress, whoonly pays flying visits to those who cannot spend

their lives in waiting upon her. It shows the

essential healthiness of his nature that, under

these uncongenial conditions, he should have

made so few excursions into the poetry of revolt.

" Tartarus," a scene in which a Mooorish magician

sees the famous souls lost long ago, and then

loses his o^wn, is the most conspicuous instance,

and proves that he could imagine, if he could not

produce, most of the effects of the Satanic school.

Magic had rather a fascination for him always,

but his fancy was hampered by his judgment

:

his perception of the dreariness of commonplace

found better expression in the " Fall of Saturn,"

the " Letter of IJoccacio," and even in the lyrics

dedicated to convicts and beggars and outlandish

patriots. But the deepest expression of all the

passion which could find no outlet for itself in

life is the ever-recurring idealisation of Death,

now as the jovial king who welcomes aU to his

court, now as the grim stranger who takes

the fairest from the feast, now as the gentle

comrade with whom the weary are at rest, nowas the bride of the spirit " amorous-eyed."

The worship of Death is for the most part con-

fined to the lyrics, and it is probably true that

Barry Cornwall wiU be best remembered as a

lyric" poet: his talent was of the kind which

is apt to be fragmentary except when it is sus-

tained by a tradition, and it is only in the lyrical

form that such a talent can reach complete-

ness, the completeness of a snatch of a bird's

song. Perhaps Barry Cornwall felt this him-

self, for he persevered in wi-iting lyrics after

he had given up most other forms of verse,

and set before himself the systematic object of

giving an expression to the varied and subtle

moods of modern life, which should be as fresh

and spontaneous as the lays of the minstrels of a

simpler and, he owned, a coarser time. Perhaps

the archaism detracts a little from the spontaneity,

at least it could hardly be said that the greatest •

excellence of his lyrics is to flow easily. Hi»

dramatic works show another side of his talent

quite as exquisite as his lyrics, though circum-

stances hindered their attaining even the same

degree of perfection. He understood thoroughly

how to conduct a poetical conversation, which

should be graceful and moving, with enough

imagery and not too much ; he could even, as his

tragedy of Mirandola proves, arrange five acts with

intelligent regard to stage effect : but he had little or

no invention, he is always repeating the device of

lovers parted by being led to believe each other false,

and most of his dramatic scenes could hardly form

part of complete plays. The situation is explained

and not advanced. "The fact is, that he showed

his complete appreciation of the poetical language

of the Elizabethan age by reproducing it instead

of by describing it. And" this applies to the least

intei-esting section of his work, the metrical tales,

which are a medlev of bright and clear descriptions

strung together by" a thin thread of sentimental or

humorous nan-ative, and only remarkable as show-

ing how freshly he had felt classic and Italian

literature. His directly critical writings have

little value, with the exception of the very dignified!

and graceful tribute to Lamb. His preface to

Kenny Meadows's illustrated Shakspere is curiously-

naive"and almost boyish : he was too old at seventy

to learn the temperof a critical age, and he came

too late to find the place for which he was really

fit—-at the feet of Ford and Fletcher.

fi02 THE ACADEMY. [Due. 5, 1874.

Liiiic:i.ster, and silently regarded tlie •wlio.e period

which we are about to traverse as a blank, tliey

expressed not merely a legal truth but an historical

one. What the Great Kebellion in its final result

actually did was to wipe away every trace of the

New Monarchy, and to take up again the thread of

our political development just where it had been

•snapt by the Wars of the Roses."

The truth tlius stated is of even greater

value for the historian of the seventeenth

than for the historian of the fifteentli century.

But it may be asked whether Mr. Green has

dealt quite fairly by this New Monarchy.

He speaks of it as owing its rise partly to

the destruction of the Baronage in the Warsof the Roses, partly to the selfish desire of

the propertied classes to keep in awe those

who were beneath them. If so, it is a unique

instance of the rise of a new power out of

causes purely evil, and the tales of oppres-

sioir and wrong doing with which the Paston

Letters abound would seem to point to a

desh-e for justice on the part of the weak as

one of the elements of the change. At all

events, the view taken of the Star Chamberin the reign of Henry VH., as instituted

specially for the support of the royal au-

thority, without any regard for the suppres-

sion of abuses, is one which the prudent

reader will be cautions in accepting, and

will probably prefer to wait till the comple-

tion of Mr. Campbell's Materials for a His-

tory of Henri/ VII. enables him to form a

more complete estimate of the reign.

Ml'. Green's Henry VIII., it need hardly

be said, is not the Henry VIII. of Mr.

Fronde. His tyranny is unrelieved by anybrighter gleam, save by his love of learning,

ai:d his minister Cromwell is described as

alike able and unscrupulous, carrying out

the doctrines of the men of tlie New learn-

ing by a reign of terror. Mr. Green's weak-

ness in this epoch is perhaps his want of

sympathy with religious thought, as dis-

tinguished from religions morality, and the

great work of Luther in the individualisa-

tion of the conscience receives very little

appreciation by the side of the mingled com-prehensiveness and tolerance of Sir ThomasMore, the Falkland of the sixteenth century.

Passing on to a happier time, it is impossible

not to be struck with admiration at Mr.

Green's masterly analysis of the character

of Elizabeth. His sketch of the politics andliterature of her reign ranks among the best

parts of the book. His account of James is

less satisfactorj. The claim to divine right

which Mr. Green puts in the foreground hadreally much less prominence in James's mindthan his belief in his own sagacity. In the

next reign, too, Mr. Green misses the con-

nexion of thought between Laud and the

Latltudinarians, thus omitting the link

which bound the men of the New learning

in the sixteenth century to the Tillotsons and

Lockes of a later day. Nor does he rememberthat the Parliamentarism which Charles I.

and Cromwell combated was not the Par-

liamentary system of our day, or that

the union of a predominant representative

assembly with the organisation of Cabinet

government is not the triumph of the prin-

ciples of the Long Parliament, but the em-bodiment of that which was best in the ideas

of both parties in the civil war. In a later

chapter Mr. Green well points out that

the change made at the Restoration wasgreater in appearance than in reality ; that,

on the one hand, Bacon was the precui'sor of

the founders of the Royal Society ; that, on

the other hand, the better influences of

Puritanism survived in Paradise Lost andthe Pilgrim's Progress, and leavened the re-

ligion and the morality of England whenPuritanism appeared to have been struck

down for ever.

Why is it that Mr. Green has so little to

tell us about post-Miltonic literature ? Hashe nothing to say, except incidentally, about

Dryden ; nothing at all about Addison andPope ? When he writes of the social disor-

ganisation of the days of the first Georges,

did not his fingers tingle to write of the

painter on whose canvas that disorganisation

is reflected ? Hume and Gibbon are alike

nnmentioned. It can hardly be that Mr.

Green was weary of his task ; and it looks

as if he had been tied down by some force

7n(ijem-e upon the Procrustean bed of 820pages. Anyhow, the loss is his readers'.

They get a vivid and able narrative of the

political and social progress of the nation;

but the special charm of the earlier part of

the volume is gone.

Even in the political part of the narrative

some improvement is to be desired in the

way of arrangement. The index tells us

that the good side of Warren Hastings'

policy will be found at pp. 759 and 7(50,

while for the severe side we must look to

pp. 760 and 7(51. What we find from p. 759

to p. 761 is an unmitigated panegyric, while

the evil deeds of the Governor- General are

relegated to p. 766, as if it were possible to

understand a man's character by halves.

Burke too is strangely treated. WhetherMr. Green's depreciatory view of the Whigoracle is a jtist one is a matter of opinion.

But common justice requires that he should

be introduced upon the stage in the best

period of his activity, and that the sketch of

his character should not be reserved for his

connexion with the French Revolution.

No nation upon earth has a nobler hi.story

than England, aud, as Mr. Green well says

(p. 762), England has become a mother of

nations.

" And to these nations she was to give not only

her blood and her speech, but the freedom whichshe has won. It is the thought of this whichflings its grandeur round the pettiesst details of our

story in the past. The history of France has little

result beyond France itself. German or Italian

history has no direct issue outside the bounds of

Germany or Italy. But England is only a small

part of tire outcome of English history. Its greater

issues lie not within the lunits of the mother island,

but in the destinies of nations yet to be. The

struggles of her patriots, the wisdom of her states-

men^ ^the steady love of liberty and Law in her

people at large, were shaping in the past of om-

little island the future of mankind.''

Such is the story, fraught with such

mighty issues, which Mr. Green has under-

taken to tell. He would be himself the last

to deny that his work is not without defi-

ciencies. But no candid reader can finish

its perusal without discovering that the

theme has at last found an exponent worthy

of its grandeur.Samuel R. Gaedinee.

A Quiet Corner of England : Studies of Land-scape and Architecture in Winelielsea, Bye,

and' tlie Roianeij Marsh. By Basil Champ-neys, B.A., Architect. With numerousIllustrations by Alfred Dawson. (London:Seeley, Jackson, & Halliday, 1874.)

" A BUILDING," says Mr. Champneys, " cannever be like a picture, complete within the

limits of its frame and independent of in-

fluences beyond. It must be studied uponits own site, and under all the conditions of

history, landscape and neighbourhood." Wemay amplify this idea a little, or rather put it

in terms a little more general : The author

wishes people to look at what they see with

their eyes open, and not isolate special

things artificially, and look at these only to

the exclusion of the others. He is not one

of those who say they are looking at achurch when they are looking, in truth, at achurch complicated with a confusion of roofs

and chimneys, connecting itself naturally

with the sweep of the street that leads up to

it, and relieved against the blue distance

and the bright sky on the horizon. A build-

ing is a building, indeed, but it is mnchmore. It makes or mars the landscape, it

completes or nullifies the profile of a townupon a hill top. I have in my eye twonotable instances. In one, a block of high

barracks, built in late days upon the battle-

ments of an old citadel, falls admirably into:

harmony with the situation, and carries upj

into the sky-line the sentiment of the steep

rock on which the place is founded ; sc|

that, although a common-place structure

in itself, it has become the most impres-

sive, and I had almost said the most ro-

mantic, feature in the pile. In the other.

a monumental tower of some architectura

pretensions has been put upon a poor litth

hill, the last buttress of a grand wall o

mountains ; and tho_3e who remember thi|

hill before it was thus burthened, the wholij

stultified, can alone appreciate the evil tha

has been effected.

The most delicate shades of relation ma^|

be traced between the sentiment of a build

ing and the sentiment of its surroundings

And in no place is this relation so delicat

and amialile, at least for Englishmen, as ii

quiet corners of England, such as the on^

Iilr. Champneys has set himself to realis

for us. He was moved, he tells us, by "

jealous desire that the modest and homellandscape and architecture of our owcountry should receive more general apj^re

ciation." He has been justly irritated a

that very pinchbeck and undiscriminatin

enthusiasm which inspires so many of th

readers of the Continental Bradshaw, an

the followers after Mr. Cook.

"Those," he says, "whose association wil

either landscape or art is more or less occasiona

naturally find grandeur more efl'ective tha

modesty, scale more easy to appreciate than sent

ment. But such emotions as are engendered e:

clusively by gorgeous efltjcts are apt to be sens:

tional, and are neither so wholesome nor ;

enduring as those which arise in a quiet ai

homely atmosphere. Moreover, familiarity wi

the more specious is apt to render the more modt

permanently insipid."

There is a great deal of truth in this, ai

elusive preference for Alps and Pj-ramids as

entirely exotic to the heart of Englishmen,

If this tare has grown up among us, it is

because an enemy came by night and sowedit-^many enemies rather : the whole genera-

tion of small poets and small romantic tra-

vellers—and because better husbandmenhave been remiss and let the good seed lie

idle. And so we may have all hope of the

ultimate success of books such as this, andthe better spirit of which they are the sign.

The English are a docile people in such

matters : they will gladly learn from Mr.Champneys that there is a sentiment in

Romney Jlarsh as well as in the Pyrenees;

this acquisition will make it an easier task

for someone else to prove to them the beauty

of some other out-of-the-way corner or

beaten track; and so, line npon line, precept

upon precept, they will become intelligently

reconciled to the fashion of their owncountry, and learn, perhaps, some more re-

fined conception of natural loveliness thana very big hill of no particular shape withsome white snow upon the top of it.

The district chosen by Mr. Champneys is

one of somewhat romantic geographical con-

ditions. Out of a bay on the old coast line,

still strongly marked and easily recognisable

for a coast line, the sea has gone back step

by step, leaving behind it a great fiat.

This flat is the JRomney Marsh. The chief

note of the district is its amphibiousness

;

and this is capitally realised for us in thebook. Traces of the retiring waters are no-

where wanting. You can recognise whatwas once an island by the constrained group-ing together of trees and houses ; and whatwas once an estuary or lagoon, by bridgesand stepping-stones now left high and dryfor ever. On the horizon, ships in full sail

seem mixed together with stationary trees

and baj'stacks.

" The more subtile effects," says Mr. Champueys," are as those upon the sea. You see the stormgathering in the distance, and it sweeps over the

equ.ll ground self-contained, solid and detached,neither distorted nor delayed by any prominence

;

the wind blows steady and undiverted : and thecountryman, who shows you a circuitous path to

somedistant object on the openplain,has somestoryto tell of former perils by sea. The farmers keepa few boats, and the retired sailors become farmersor farm labourers, and the old houses far inlandare specially and elaborately planned for hidingsmugglers and smuggled goods. Moreover, thesea, though fi-ora the dead level it is actually un-secu, is constantly present to the imagination as ahaunting influence, and to the senses as a brighthorizon of reflected light ; and the sea-shore is

marked here and there bj' a few whitewashedcottages and a flagstaff."

This is very good, and there is more of a like

quality. Altogether, what with Mr. Champ-neys's description and some of Mr. Dawson'sillustrations,—that, for instance, opposite

page 12, and that at the foot of page 61

—

Romney Marsh becomes very distinct andfamiliar to onr minds before we have finished

the little volume.Of the various buildings that are brought

out for us against this background, thevarious bits of architectui-al detail criti-

cised—architectural detail of all sorts anddescriptions, down to the carpentry ofcertain prison doors at Rye, and a glazed

cupboard from the inn at New Romney—

I

propose to say nothing. There is much to

interest the reader : and here again some of

Mr. Dawson's etchings are worthy of all

pi-aise. But one must avoid falling into the

manner of those critiques de criiiqii.es that

have stirred the scorn of Baudelaire, andmany others who had a better I'ight, per-

haps, to be scornful in such a case. So,

without entering into any of the more par-

ticular points here dealt with, it will be

enough to say that all the criticism bears the

stamp of strong personality. Mr. Champneysis no more open to all the pleasurable details

of art than angry against those whom he

considers as Art's banded enemies, and he

is a very plain dealer yvheu angry. In-

deed, some of the most entertaining passages

of the volume are those in which he has

suffered his righteous indignation to carry

him away, and refers, with truculent ironj',

to " the refined and interesting zeal of Pro-

testantism," or regrets the rashness whichled him to " anticipate that a Conservative

Government would extend to our mostvaluable monuments some portion of that

tenderness which it is supposed to show for

abuses." Robert Lows Stevenson.

Revue de Droit International et de Legislation

Comparce : Orrjane de Vlnstitiit de Droit

International. (Londres : Williams et

Norgate, 1869-7-i.)

This widely-circulated Review has nearly

completed its sixth year, and it is not too

much to say of it that in each successive

year of its publication it has established

fresh claims to the gratitude of the jurist

and to the thoughtful attention of states-

men. It was commenced in 1869 with the

twofold object of encouraging, on the onehand, the study of comparative legislation

as the best preparation for the study of

international law, and of assisting, on the

other hand, to form a sound public opinion

on matters of international law by a calmand serious discussion of various topics

within the province of that law, with a viewto make known its anomalies and defects,

and to bring about a consensus gentium as to

the proper mode of remedying them :—" By public opinion," we translate the words of

M. G. Rolin-Jaequemyns, one of the founders of

the Review, " we do not mean those undulating

and ephemeral phases of thought, which express

for the moment the passion, the interest, the pre-

judices of the day, coupled with an imperfect

knowledge of facts ; hut a serious and calm tone of

public thought, founded on the application of

certain principles of universal justice to constant

events Such a public opinion," he adds

aftei-wards, " as becomes the judgment of history,

and in matters of international law is the pro-

gressive expression of that natm'al right, whichGrotius has so well described as ' the dictate of

right reasou, assigning to each act a character of

moral necessity or moral turpitude, according as

it is conformable or not to the reasonable nature

of man, and consequently is enjoined or forbidden

by the Author of Nature.'"

The founders of the Review were M. G.

Rolin-Jaequemyns, of Ghent, whose namehas been already mentioned ; Professor T. M.C. Asser, of Amsterdam, and Mr. JohnWestlake, Q.C., of Lincoln's Inn, yvhose

writings on private international law are

well known to English lawyers. The oppor-

tunity of its appearance was confirmed bythe fact that the third number of the Reviewpresented a list of 120 jurists and publicists,

among yvhom are to be found some of the

most distinguished names in Europe and in

America, yvho promised their co-operation in

the enterprise, and whose promises havebeen y\'ell maintained. Each number of the

Review contains from six to eight original

treatises, which fulfil one or other of the objects

specified in the introductory notice above al-

luded to. In addition to these original trea-

tises there is to be found in each volume anAnnual Chronicle ofComparative Legislation,

in other words, an annual notice of the prin-

cipal statutes and ordinances promulgated in

each year in the various States of Europeand America which are of interest to other

countries. This chronicle has been under-

taken by Professor Asser, while M. G. Rolin-

Jaequemyns supplies a corresponding Chro-nicle of International Law. Each numberfurther contains a careful notice of the moreimportant publications on legal subjects,

which have appeared from time to time in

Europe and in America ; and although Asiahas not as yet put forth any claim to benoticed under this list, it is a fact worthy of

remark, and it has not escaped observation

in the Review, that Wheaton's Elements of

International Lav: have been translated into

the Japanese and the Chinese languages, andthat the Chinese Government has officially

adopted the work of Mr. Wheaton as anauthority on all doubtful cases of interna-

tional law. Further, the Review in its first

number for 1873 contains a communicationfrom Dr. W. A. P. Martin, Professor at the

Imperial College at Peking, from which it

appears probable that the treatise of Dr.

Woolsey, of Boston, U.S., on the Study of

International Law, has been approved as atext-book by the University of Peking.

There C3,n be no doubt that European ideas

on public layv are rapidly gaining hold of

the Asiatic mind, and that the Europeannations must be prepared soon to welcomethe Asiatic nations to a place yvithin the

same international circle, into yvhich the

Ottoman Porte yvas formally admitted bythe Treaty of Paris of 1856. Dr. Martinstates that the chief statesmen in China are

well awaiye of the fact, that it is to the prin-

ciples of public law, which are recognised

amongst the nations of Europe, that their

country oyves its comparative security from

foreign aggression.

In addition to the above-mentioned sub-

jects, the Review supplies an Annual Bul-

letin of the more important decisions of the

Belgian and French Courts on questions of

international law. These bulletins were

commenced in 1872, and have been con-

tinued to the present time. Digests also of

German, English, and Italian judgments on

a like class of questions have been com-menced ; and it may be expected, when the

cu'cle of these bulletins and digests is com-plete, that they will materially help to stimu-

late the growth of a branch of legal science

which is still in its infancy—that of Com-parative Jurisprudence. Mr. Justice Story

may justly be considered to have laid the

foundation of such a science by his well-

known work on the Conflict of Laws, but

there is a large field of juridical conflict
