Second Edition, .price JOHN HORNE TOOK E. For the following masterly delineation lof the character, conduct, and,labours, intellectual and political, of this man, which is founded upon a lite of.him, lately published, but of which only a pass ing notice is taken, we are indebted to The Quar terly Review, " think it somewhat discreditable to the Ja cobin school, that thcy.have not been able to pro duce a better account of a person who, with all his faults, was in this country their principal or nament and support. A good memoir upon th;d subject would b an,useful occasion to our stock of biography, literary .and political. When we speak of a .memoir, we of course do not mean a large quarto, or two large quartos, for with such it is said we are threatened—eked out with decla mat!ons, and his cries about the American war — dissertations • upon the anthor of JUnius—e dia tribeS'. upon the :French revolution, and the speeches of the Attorney-General anti Mr. Erskine a-book resembling this before us in size, and in nothing which . credit shall be given to the reader for a general acquaintance with the history of the last fifty years—fo.which ihercfore the ruain!,lidos OA_ not be overwhelmed by a mass of extraneous matter,—in short,. a life of Mr. Tooke, in which Mr. Tooke shall be the prin cipal feature, and in which all that is material to be known of this extraordinary man shall be dia_ . gently collected ; fairly arranged, anci fairly related. We feel it the more necessary to give this warn. ing, because it has been very much the practice of late years, under pretence of writing biography, to deluge the public with vast quantities of con temporaneous history, whicli serves no other pur pose than, that of puzzlingand.fatiguing the read er, and adding to the size and price of the vo lume. " A king, a minister, or a general, may he so distinguished, that all the transactions of the age in. which he lived may, without impropriety, ~ be considered in reference to him : but, generally!. speaking., the,object of biography is to furnish not that which is, but that which is not to be found inthe history of the times, and great public trans actions ought only to: be .meutioned. incidentally, with just so much of detail as is necessary to pre vent confusion, and to preserve the thread of the narrative unbroken. - " But thou.rh we sec how the life of Mr. Tooke ought to be written, - it is not our duty, nor indeed do we possess the means to .supply tf - at desider7:- tum in literature. We can only offer a few de tached remarks upon his history- and character, which, probably though they will have no other merit, will at least have that of itopqrtiality. Dur ing hiS life we were not exempt from those feel ings of hostility Which great and irreconcilable dif ference upon political questioOs; at an anxious and difficult period, is calculated to excite; hut we know oursel: es ill if we casino! now speak as calm, ly and fairly of the philosopher and • politician of Wimbledon, as if he had flourished in Rome or Athens five and twenty centuries ago. " lacoasidering his political career, the most material circumstance; that wh ch it is most neces sary to keep steadily in view, in order to - form a correct and candid estimate of his ,tllll. - acter is, that he was, from- beginning to end, - a man la bouring onder.great perpetual, irremovable- civil disabilities.„ He had been unfortunate (we say so without fear of being misinterpreted) in his choice of a profession; for-it is i real misfortune to a man of an enterprising disposit ion, notus rebus agenl dis, to become -a member - of an order in which property , ald duty enjoin a sparing and partial-in terference with the concerns of the world, and in which, if property and duty arc found too feeble restraints, the law interposes, with a strong aria, to curb profane activity and unprofessional exer tions. What a-man ought to du under such eir enmstances is obvious ; but Such is toe .wealiness of human nature,what we ought to do is, ,we are afraid, not what he is . always likely to do--cer tainly the very revers. of what Mr. Tooke did do. In fact, his whole life seems to have been spent in an unavailing and ungraceful struggle to extricate himself from the restraints which his situation ill], posed upon him. He was for ever beating self against the bars of his cage; and such is the power of his passion over reason, that neither the exercise of his peuetr4ting and vigorous under \~ P
