QUARTERLY REVIEW.—No. LXXV. This is a very intelligent and amusing number ; full of pleasant miscellaneous information, put forth with the greatest simplicity, and abounding in light, airy, and original criticism. Asa whole, it has more knowledge but less good writing about it than the Edinburgh ; and although all its papers (with one exception) are above medio crity, yet it has no one article equal in point of style and comprehensiveness to that of " His tory" in the present number of its rival. The first review, entitled " Psahnody," gives au ani mated detail of the Rise and Progress of Psalm writing in England ; and laments, with many others, the wretched ebb at which it had arrived till lately, when Montgomery, Millman, and, better still, the accomplished Bishop Heber, took it under their fostering patronage. Throughout this instructive and eloquent article, a great and familiar acquaintance is shown with the quaint old literature of our country—a literature so rich in thought, poetry, and expression—that we wonder it is not more generally studied. There are few finer things in the language than old Chapman's translation of Homer. It has the rough strong spirit of good port wine in every page. " Ireland, its Evils, and their Remedies," is on a trite subject and tritely treated, just in the way that might be expected from a Quarterly Reviewer. There is little or no attempt at novelty; the whole article is nothing more nor less than a re capitulation and enforcing of acknowledged truths; for the express purpose evidently of having something to say on a topic now fast pressing itself into tremendous importance. " Travels of John Ledyard" details with spirit and intelligence the travels, voyages, and nume rous adventures of this mariner, who was pre sent at Captain Cook's death at Owhy - liee, (which lie describes differently from the authentic narration of that catastrophe) and had previously accompanied him through most of his South Sea Discoveries. "On the Present State of the Jews" urges rather too much, we conceive, in the spirit of a Puritan, the necessity of their conversion ; it is however a most instructive article, and well worth an hour's attention. " Epistles in Verse, Italy," &c. is a favourable notice of Mr. Rogers' poems on that tempting subject. The great defect in this accomplished versifier is the, utter absence of all character in his productions ; his fancy seems to want stamina ; it has nothing tangible in its composi tion ; nothing to be laid hold of and remem bered. The " Pleasures of Memory," though abounding in graceful and elaborate beauty, leaves no decided impression on the mind ; it is an elegant petrifaction of feeling ; faultless but feeble ;is read and admired to-day ; laid aside and forgotten to-morrow. The chief reason of this is, that Mr. Rogers trusts solely to art and refinement for success ; nature he leaves wholly out of the question—hence he is intel ligible only to the upper classes of society. To this criticism the Reviewer very pertinently appends some cursory remarks on travelling, of which the following arc a specimen ; they are very useful and judicious : " Our opinion on this matter is, that the residence of young Englishmen abroad at the present day, for the cons pletion, a s it i s t er med, of education, is, gen era lly s p ea ki ng , somewhat too early in date, and very often much too long in time. Travelling raises a superstructure rapidly, but there must be a fair and sufficient basis to build it upon, or the edifice soon falls to decay. The character should be in some degree determined, the understanding advanced, and knowledge attained, otherwise there is much risk in pro , portion to the benefits acquired. The aptitude for turning knowledge to account mainly depends on that already pot- sensed; and this is particularly true as regards the objects and pursuits in foreign travel; where just observation is difficult, and false inferences are prompt to present them selves on every side. The man of thirty or forty may traverse Italy from north to south, without becoming either antiquarian, artist, or philosophical observer. The youth of eighteen or twenty, turned loose upon the same country, is in great danger of becoming a more idler on its surface ; or if he escape this Scylla may plunge into the worse Charybdis of a vague, precocious, and pretending knew ledge, without depth or usefulness. Inanibas aristis ante messemilaveseit. The successful cultivation of the mind by objects of art and taste is rarely attainable under a cer tain age ; and the boy, aping the connoisseur, does but cast discredit on those who placed him in the way of becoming ridiculous. The Corinthian edifice should rest on a Tuscan foundation." The remaining articles " Chronological History of the West Indies"—" Legal Reforms," and —" The Federative Policy of Europe," we must, from press of matter and want of room, dismiss with the remark that they all bring infor mation to the subject ; and arc, for the most part, devoid of that caustic sectarian spirit, which once so unpleasantly characterised the pages of this otherwise excellent periodical. EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. XCIV. EDINBURGH, 1828. " State Trials" is a very learned and ably digested notice den intelligent publication; a nd alluding to the light diffused by Mr. Phillips over the doubt and darkness in which the trials of the 16th and 17th centuries are enveloped, happily observes, that " he has thrown a bridge over Chaos." Remarking on the benefit pro duced by an impartial examination of the re cords of past ages, and an acquaintance, if pos sible, with human nature in its utmost variety, the Reviewer puts forth the following very appo site sneers at the modern sect of Utilitarians : " It is a poor school which judges of the outer world like a land-surveyor, and looks at man in the spirit of a slave-dealer about to haggle for his purchase. There arc elements, both from without and from within, which defy this system ; and it may be doubted whether the universe, supposing it were pocaible, would be improved either in reality or appearance, by thus putting everything under plough. There is not only room, but use, for all that God has made in his wisdom—a use not the less real, because not always tangible or immediate. Our new eco nomists, political and moral, who will see nothing valu able in either, but what is almost calculable as money, may leara too late that the masters of better iron, whether in character or country, may chance to become the owners of their gold. We are net of those who reproach great nature with the barrenness of her heaths and solitary high lands ;we grudge net the poet his lark and water-fall ; nor the painter his wilderness of rocks. And they miserably deceive themselves who, in their bill of prices of the qua lities of human excellence, put down at twopence the part tbat answers to the laurel crown ! For those who are tired with the tameness and uniformity of everyday life, we would send them to these volumes—where they may see the human character drawn out like a telescope, and adjusting itself to any distance and any eye. It is the har mony of strong contrasts, in which greatness of character truly dwells. As it rises, its variety and rich profusion only remind us of those southern mountains, whose ma jestic ascent combines the fruits of every latitude, and the temperature of every clime; the vineyard is scattered around its base to gladden, and the corn field waves above to support, the family of man,—mount a little higher, and the traveller is surropncled by the deep umbrageous, forest, w hilst the next elevation will place his foot on its magni ficent diadem of eternal snows." His sketch of Elizabeth, which is cursorily in troducedtrial of Essex, i s f u ll o f character and life.— E x. in some remarks arising out of the first. " Elizabeth is a representative of the whole Tudor line. To the frugality and caution of the founder of their family, she united her father's capricious temperament and courage, with more than her brother's learning, and not a great deal less than her sister's intolerance of religious innova tions. Her character was colossal—and designed for that triumphal pillar upon which she was early placed by a nation that she enlightened, invigorated, and saved.— I aken down from that elevation, for the purpose of being subjected to a moral microscope, formed on the more correct principles of modern times, and adjusted almost to the circumstances and considerations of private life, she has lately undergone a minute and unsparing criticism, which might appease the spirit of her injured rival, and satiate the not altogether undeserved vindictiveness of Rome. There were infirmities of heart and purpose about her, (often in little things, and once or twice in great ones), which it must have required, in an age when sovereigns lived in the familiar presence of their subjects, all her dazzling qualities to throw into the shade. It was un doubtedly the comparison with the Stuarts which canoni zed her with the next generation. But there is abundant contemporary evidence that, without her crown, she would have been still the most extraordinary person, whether for capacity or resolution, in her renowned court. It was no compliment of Burleigh's, who always spoke of her as the wisest woman he had ever known." " History" is an admirable criticism on seine few of the ancient historians—more especially of Livy (the Walter Scott of the Latin Chronicles), whose character the Reviewer hits off with the ut most nicety. His observations on Sallust, espe cially where he finds fault with his skill, is more questionable. " Keppel's Journey from India" adds little to our stock of information on this subject : accounts of Arabs from the Desert are now become familiar in our mouths as house hold words ; and the authors of Anastasius and the Kuzzilbash (the last especially) have ren dered the present cursory remarks superfluous. " Memoirs of Lord Collingwood" is an equally trite topic ; though we cannot but agree most cordially with the spirit of the Reviewer's intro ductory remarks on his Lordship's public and private character. He was in truth a model for Englishmen to study. " The Nervous System" will amply repay the perusal of those whom cir cumstance or inclination have led to the sub ject. To the uninformed, however, the Review will appear too full of technical ratiocination. On the whole the number is a good one. WESTMINSTER REVIEW, No. XVIII. LONDON, 1828. A new class of writers, who may not inaptly be styled Utilitarians, are fast rising into notice, and some degree of popularity, chiefly from their habit of appeal to the clap-trap common places of society. These Puritans of literature arc for referring every thing to Utility ; this is their sole standard of excellence, whether moral, intellec tual, or political ; of the loftier energies of mind, of all that contributes to furnish forth a charac ter for after ages, they arc profoundly and con ceitedly ignorant ; if they can only be useful for tkeir day, and bring their small wit to a good market, they are satisfied ; posterity must shift for itself. To a certain extent they have hit the prejudices of no inconsiderable portion of the community ; all the half-educated are with them ; those, we mean, who unable to reach the heights of knowledge, arc content to creep round the bottom, or ascend mid-way where the Utili tarians have stuck up their day-schools. So far as a wish to he useful goes, these Pioneers of the march of mind are entitled to our respect ; but when they come forward and assert that Utility is the sole business of life, that a a nd spin ning-jenny is the only work of a rt, , . Franklin's money maxims the only e y will deign (except political economy) that th repress disgust to recognize, it is impossible to . fcc h n g, but that of at their assumption.

I :.7.J.K , • 1:::!',';:o..1 4Z lady has put forth an -latiorate article, entitled the " Scientific Education of the Upper Classes," the express object of which is to convert the nobleman and commoner into the tradesman. it is the chief and most characteristic feature of the work, and sets out with asserting that " facts and realities arc the proper and only useful oc cupation of youth," from which we may—in deed it is intended that we should—infer that classical literature is superfluous, that the elo quence of Demosthenes (to whom Mr. Brougham owes so much) or Cicero—the knowledge of life of Juvenal or Theophrastus—thc broad hu mour of Plautus—the grave sensibility of So phoeles of Euripides—the wild sublimity of lEschylus—the detail of character in Sallust— the comprehensive intellect of Tacitus—the elo quent simplicity of Herodotus—the terse manli ness of Thucydides—and, greater than all, the enlarged and philosophic fancy of Lucretius — that these illustrious names, to whom the world owes so much, are to be laid aside for " the study of facts and realities ;" for that " study" which teaches us (as in the instance of Mr. Bowring, reputed Editor of the " Westminster Rev " ) to -blend a discreet patriotism with a useful knowledge of the Greek funds, to rival Mr. Joseph Hume in arithmetic, and Mr. M'Culloch in politi ca l econo my. " Facts and', realities are well enoug h i n t h eir wa y, they im prove the pocket and d o no t d e tract from the intellect ; but if all the " facts and realities" skull o f one unhappy individual, they would not, without some higher t c h o a u t ld ev b e e r c‘rvaenrlemkuilioiwnttior, tI o the r ever will be known, intellectual faculties, make either a Washington or a Pitt. The very utmost they could do would be to manufacture a perfect Rothschild. Having expended his sneers upon classical lite rature, the Westminster Reviewer goes on to say, " he, the haberdasher in Greek, who lives by trading in Greek particles, is a more unreasonable being than the meanest tinker." Now this, though spiritedly, is insidiously put. The traders in Greek particles have been long since forgotten, there are 110 verbal commentators now-a-days, like the Mammoth, they are an extinct species. This, the Reviewer must have known ; lie must have known also—if his passion for Utility be not like Don Quixote's chivalry, exclusive and all engrossing—that the Classics are cultivated by the present, on far higher grounds, than by the past generations. The verbal peculiarities of the Greek and Latin writers arc now neglected fOr their spirit ; for that spirit which, tempered by • and adapted to the improved ethics and man ners of the age, most truly, according to the old adage, fashions the perfect gentlema4i. As an instance, however, of the danger produced by such studies, time Reviewer observes, " recent speculations, to which we need not allude more narrowly, discovered, that all England did not furnish half-a-dozen men of leisure and abi- I lities competent to undertake the direction of common mining establishments." How distres sing l huw overpowering to the national nerves ! All England could not produce six men able to understand the mysteries of mining I Are the ' Directors of the Arigna Mining Company for gotten ? We hope not, for they at least turned their knowledge to pretty good account. Having defined generally his notions of science, which by the way, are of the lowest and vulgarest description, the Reviewer goes on to show how they arc necessary to perfect the statesman—the soldier—tire sailor—the lawyer—the physician —and the clergyman. With respect to this last, the critic's list of his qualifications is truly comic, and reminds us of the rope-dancer, who, accord ing to Dr. Johnson, must possess the seven car. dinal virtues. The country curate, must first, it seams, be apolitical economist, to enable him " to teach his parishioners how to save ;" secondly, a lawyer, " to check litigation," (surely this is not the business of a lawyer) ; thirdly, an agricul turist, " to be of use to the more ignorant people under his care,"--that is to say, on the principle of Utility, to quicken his knowledge of tithes ; fourthly, an architect and civil engineer, because such " arc often in demand in the country ;" fifthly, a notary, to " become useful with respect to the making of wills ;" and lastly, a physician, in order that he may " pay atten tion to the health of his flock." In addition to these acquirements, the Reviewer recommends that he make political economy, " the subject of instructive discourses from the pulpit," with view, no doubt, of enabling the parish to rival Swift's scientific island of Laputa. Shades of Parson Adams and the Vicar of Wakefield, what a reversal is all this, of the acts by which you claim your right to an amiable and, till now, undisputed immortality ! In speaking casually of modern school -masters, the Reviewer re , marks, " having learned Greek and Latin only, they arc in reality incapable of teaching any thing et/se to their pupils." What this else means—unless it be political economy, or the art of mining—WC arc at a loss to conjecture. To teach Greek and Latin is surely to raise the mind to its highest capacity.. it is to strengthen thought by the experience of the past ; to familiarize it to to the noblest achievements of virtue and intellect; to quicken in it a relish for what is excellent in style and sentiment, and an abhorrence of what is low or vitiated ; to teach them, in short, as they arc uniformly (with a few slight exceptions) taught at Eton or Reading, and perfected at Cambridg or Oxford. We have been thus diffuse upon the subject of this bigoted article, because it has not only been painfully elaborated, but is rut forth as a object. It i;; This periodical, as a sort of feeler to try the taste of the public. It forms, besides, the nucleus of a series with which the " Westminster Review" intends from time to time to edify its readers. • representative of the lower orders of the mid dling class, is coarse, sarcastic, and well informed on its own void of taste, and topics ; but de impatient of buildof ' fancy. On the a spinning-jenny it is orthodox, and may be quoted as sound authority where the subject is a . pair of steam-paddles. But 0 far as regards wit, fancy, taste, the Fine well fitted for its Arts, or aught that contributes to the graces or e i eg ancies of life, its mind is stint with ' op thalmia. Its prof e ssed object is to reduce all intel wet to its own very homely level—to create a na tion of l politica economists • sts and mechanics, and to treat the w or ks i. of the imaginative and philo sophical, with the same familiarity with which Sampson Carrasco treated the Knight of La Mancha's Library. It cries out for Utility as the Bishop Homenas cried out for t he ___ n e cretals, and We trust, with as much success ; for however useful the mare tradesmanlike sciences (for it is these the Reviewer recommends) may be, they ourdit surely not to take precedence of the classics or literature in general : the oue will go far to make a great man, the other will rarely lift him above trade. A breeches-maker, however scientific, will never become a ttatestnan : a well read scholar, provided he be also a man of the world, has the materials ready made about him. sePh . a nd fe of 12 " roo .~-~ ~~y•
