WORKS OF •TIIF. LATE TIIUMAS WARTON, B. D. • TOGITHEA 11 TH • mr.motrs OF HIS LIFE AND WRITINGS. FIT ILICHARD 14• MT. 'l he poetry of the late Laureat has long been in the possession of the public ; but his life, annexed to this edition, is new, and cf.nsequently is entitled to our attention. '1 he zeal of biographical friend ship ha; been latel:. more than ordinarily displayed ; and having just witnessed the efforts of Mr. Ray ley, to cAbrate the ohjeet of his literary regard, we are now to behold the similar exertions of 'Mr. Mare, in favour of an inferior subj.a, but not per haps - with inferior success. Men would be an gels—angels would be gods." Cowper, thOngh not ii the first ranks of those resplendent orders, is unquestionably of the ethereal race : but Warm is a mere mortal, fashioned of the same hothely clay with multitudes of his species, and wit:: the com mon obstru:tion of the frigiduscircum przcoalia salgui4. Every endeavour, therefore,, to raise him above his mortal destiny can answer no other purpose, than, that of discovering the ingenuity or the friendliness of the Writer who makes it. Posterity will always adjust the balance between the biographer and truth; and throwing all exaggerated or fiittitious me rit out of the scale, will leave, in the instances to which we refer, much to Cowper and very little to Warton. Warton, as we are p2rsuaded, has reaped his w;hole harvest - of fame, and has no springing crop of poetical or of critical celebrity to form the objeEt of hope. Some interest, however, rray as yet be attached to his name; and we will, there fore, sketch the principal features of his history from the fuller drawing of it by Mr. Mant. Thomas Warton, the Laureat,• was of the family of Sir Michael Warton, Bart. of Warton-hall, in Lancashire; And was the grandson of Antony War ton, reffor of Breamore in the New Forest. The Laureat's father, Thomas Warton, the third son of Antony, was a man of some distinai,n in ,his day, raised . o consequence in Oxford, by a fellowship cf Magdalen College and the professorship of poetry, and, to rank in the world, by the acquaintance of Pope, and the intimacy of Pope's particular friend, Dighy. The professor's second son, Thomas, the subjea of our present narrative, was born at Basing stoke in 1728 ; and at an early age discovered a propensity to reading, and a talent for poetry. A letter, written by ham to his sister, when he was only nine years old, has very properly been pre served, as an extraordinary instance of mature in tellen in childhood, The letter inclosed the .fol lowing verses, with an apology for the first pro duction of the writer's little muse.' ON LEANDER's SWIMMING OVER THE HELLES- PONT TO HERO. Trate:laird ly me from the Latta cf MARTIAL. " When boll t L N Dalt sought his d.staiit Fair, " (Nor could 111 a ►ea a bralf , .ir burthen bear,) . " Thus to the swelitil waves he spoke his woe, " Drown use on my return,—but spare me as I go." Our author's education was condated by his fa ther, till, on the 16th of March, 1743, he was ad mitted a Commoner of Trinity College, in Oxford, and was soon afterwards elected a Scholar of that Society. He had scarcely been four years in this situation, when he began his career of authorship, by publishing " The Pleasures of Melancholy ;'' a poem, which he had written at an earlier period, when he was only in his seventeenth year. In 1744 he produced " the Triumph of Isis," in an swer to Mason's " Isis ;" and discovered, at the age of twenty, an excellence in compoSition, which his riper years perhaps never exceeded. In 1750 he contributed several pieces of poetry to a periodical paper, published at that time in Oxford, with the title of "The Students." Having taking the pre vious degree of A. B. he took that of A.M. in 1750, and in the following year he succeeded to a Yellowship. In the year ot, this promotion, he wrote two poems in the Oxford Collection, on the death of Frederick Prince of Wales ; and in 1753, he sup• plied several pieces of poetry to a volume called "1 he Union; or, Select Scotch and English Poems," which was published at Edinburgh. 'I he next work of Mr. Warton's was a Body of Statutes for the Radcliffe library, which he drew up in 1754 , , at the desire of Dr. Huddersfield the President of Trinity College, and at that time V ice-Chancellor of the University. On this occasion, it is obsert - ed by Mr. Mant, that Dr. Radcliffe had a peculiar claim to.the services of a Trinity man, as Dr. it. was the only person, not a member of that Cc.llege, who sub scribed towards the rebuilding of its chapel in ..spts.l 101. In the same year.( If - 54:) Mr. W. published his observations on •' Tlic Faery Queen." Ir. this v.%)rk, it is noticed by his biographer that many notes and refe!.ences occur, which had been written some years before by the author in an interleaved copy Of Milton's smaller poems ; and that thcse literary wares were again transferred to that edition of Mil ton's Juvenilia, witch was the prodace of Mr. '% .'s later years. Are we, in this instance, to admirethd. extratmiinary value of the notes, or the admirable ceconomy of the conunentator Oar author's bro ther, the respectable Master of Winch ter, disco vered similar p..rsimony of information and -4 inter let.l, when he melted ids Essay into a Commentary . •ua Pope ; but sue' , condua may , perhaps,. be tOr given :o old - tge, whet. thought hi! !411 r:i.ii~ti FPRICF, SIXPENCE. boriously solicited, or fresh knowledge effeaually explored. In that part of the biographer'irwork, to which we are now come, we are amuscat"witl: n anecdote respecting Mr.W. in his bey isleeears,n+:,.'i from the importance attached to it by e the narr e (Dr. Huntingford the bishop of Glpfteester) CA: i• , be read without a smile. The story, gas " a zee will make one split." Dr:Jore'ish Weirton (Dr. Hen tingford observes) was accustomed to relate a ch cumstance, which, though in. itself apparently triiin portant, yet with respell to the writings of Mr. T. Warton, was perhaps, in effects, of cop,siderable co sequence. When they were both boys, their father took them to see Windsor Castle ; the seve ml objects presented to their view much eeeaged the attention, and excited the admiration of the' father, and his son Joseph; as they were returning, the f,7-• ther,..With some concern, said to Joseph, 4 Thoee:s goes on, and takes no notice of any thing he has seen.' This remark was never forgotten by his son ; who, however, in mature years; made this reilexion : I believe my brother was more struck with what he saw, and took more notice•of every object than either of us.' And there is gond reason to think, that the peculiar fondness for Castle imagery, "which our author, on manyoccasions e stroagry discovers, may be traced to this incident of his early days !' The year j-757 was distinguished, in the il lifeof Mrs.W. by his elation to the 'office of Poetry Pro fessor ; and, by his activity to promote the interests of Dr. Johnson, who was at that time-soliciting • deg ri kr Ifbm the University of Oxford, and sub-' seri ns from its "members for the publication of his dictionary. The intimacy between our author and the 'great Lexicographer, whielt seems to !rave commenced at this period, subsisted for some years, an! then expired in mutual, coolness, if not in mu-' tual disgust. During the usual term of ten yeei for which the Poetry - Professorship is held, Mr. W discharged the duties of his office with ability .in. . with zeal. In 4758 he published a seledioa Latin Sepulchral Inscriptions in verse, from the collections of Grater, Mazochius, and others. In 1760, and halite following year, he discovered his respell for his college, by producing the lives of Sir Thomas Pope, its founder, and of Di:actor Bathurst, one of its principal benefatE'ors. The obligation, as we mist remark,, in these instances of his literary industry, seems to be Confined, altogether, to his. cellege, and ) in no portion of it, to be extended the public. In December 1767 he took his degree of B.D. and, in three years afterwards, he published his edition of, Thcocritus, on which he had bestowed the attention of nearly twelve years, and which is certainly a re, speaable work. In 1771 he was elected fellow of the Antiquarian Society ; and, in the Oclober of the same year, he was presented by the Eatl of Litzh field, the Chancellor of the University, to the living of Kiddington, in the county of Oxford. In 1774 p the first volume of his principal work, " The His tory. of English Poetry," made its appearance, a work which the author never completed, or carried nearer to his own times than the age of Elizabeth. The history of literary; and particularly of academical men, must generally be the history of their writings. The lite of Mr. Warton was not marked by any in equalities to distinguish its several periods : during the University terms jt was passed at Oxford ; and in the vacations it glided smoothly .along in an intercourse of paternal affeaion at Winchester. In 1781, he published the history of Kiddington, and in the succeeding year he entered into the con troversy respeaing the authenticity of Rowley's Poems. Confining his investigation to the interne' evidence of these extraordinary compositions, he ventured to pronounce them spurious and modern. The ground on Which he stood, was altogether fill lacious ; and the decision, which he did not hesitate to make, was, as we are convinced, egregiously wrong. In the same year in which he engaged in this controversy, he published his verses to Sir Joshua Reynolds, on the painted window in New College, and obtained the acknowledgrrients of that eminent artist, in a very complimentary letter.. Sir Joshua, however, complained with some little vanity, per haps, but certainly with 'Mich true judgment, that • the name of Iteynolds had not found admission into the poem : and that consequently, on the loss of the title-page, the praise might be assigned from its pro per objeel to any other painter. In a new edition of the poem, this error was corrected, and the name of the. artist introduced into a verse. Of the same species of inaccuracy, Mr..W. has been guilty in another of his compositions. His Epitaph on Mr. Head consists of a supplication, as it may be gues sed, to Death ; -but neither of the person in whose favour the entreaty is made, - nor of that allegorical being to whom it is addressed,•are the names to te• found within the limits of the inscription. In 17e t Mr. W. was presented by -his college to the donaTi..e of mill-Ferrante in Somersetshire, and was eica..: into the Literary arts," formed originally by Dr Johnson, and consisting of the first wits and scholar:- of the age. The year 1785 was one of the mem ruble years of our Author's life ; for it vew him eke - ed to the office ofeernden PrOfessor of Hisrory; and appointed, on the death of Whitehead, to the clig11:- ty of the Laurent. In this a ar alas, he published his edition of Milton's Juvenile, Poems, for which he had been preparing materinls,during a considerable period of his life. The publishing a new edition of • his own poems was his last literary labour. Before the priteing of the impression was completed; he was reeenved from this state of existehce by a stroke of apoplexy,' on the 21st of May, 1730. On the 2tth his body was interred in the chapel of his college, with all those high ecadeniieril honours to whiclr'he was justly entitled by his social and literary meritS; as is ell as by a residence in the University for forty see en of Ore - sixty-two years which constituted the duration of his life. Mr. Mant has concluded his biography with re• marks on , the writings of Mr. Walton, and with a comparison of him. With Gray. On the justneseof this comparison We shell enable our readers to form their own judgment ; by subinitthZg to them in a fut.!, e Paper this part of Mr. Mant's vne:k, as an eesreei, wh eh nub eaten:Liu them. • e • - • ~ - DA Y, APRIL 14 1803. • irissrmy OF THE L.t - rE wAR. s d emity will be publkh-d, in Two Octiv.o, price One G Mire in boards, ITE lIIS'roRY•of FRANCE, from the Year A I '.h.) to the Pe.c wth Great Britain, • c0.i...10.!eki at A.1it...11* Sy Jf) % gUJr.PIIUS, EN.
