LEIGH'S NEW POCKET ROAD-BOOK of ENGLAND, WALES, and part of SCOTLAND, on the Plan of " Reichards's Itineraries ;" containing an Account of all the - Direct.and Cross-Roads ; together with a Description• of every Remarkable Place, and its Curiosities, Manufactures, Com merce, Population, and Principal Inns : the whole forming a complete Guide to every Object worthy the attention of Travellers. Our Readers will observe, by the title-page of this.voluu►e; that it is not a mere dry List of Roads, but professes to contain much more com prehensive and amusing information than may be.. expected in works of this kind, and .we may af firm, that the title-page does not promise more than the Work really performs. We have, there fore, classed it under this department of our Journal, because travelling' is now so generally pursued in this country,, that auy thing which may contribute to soften the fatigues of a journey, and amuse the mind in its progress, cannot but be as - highly acceptable, as it is generally useful. The Editor, in a brief and modest Preface, tells us that the descriptibus of many of the places were written from his own observations, and that for others he is indebted to some of his friends. These descriptions are clear and pertinent, with- - out being redundant, and yet they comprise many curious particulars, anecdotes, and accounts of the pictUres, embellishments, antiquities, &c. &C. in many of the : castles, .mansions, churches, meeting-houses, and the interesting events that have occurred through the several roads which travellers are likely to pass iu their pro gress. All this information, though sufficiently full - and. accurate, is •contained in the forru of a. neat Pocket Volume, and is calculated to afford instruction and entertainment to those who sit by the fire-side, and only travel in imagination and desire. la fact, among the innumerable pro ductions of this writing and travelling age, we have not, for a long - time, met witl► any-other of the same nature so well calculated to amuse the Reader, and to deserve the attention of the Public. THE WEATHER IN CANADA.—The Quebec Gazette of 23d May says, the weather for a few days past has been beautiful ; vegetation is mak ing the most extraordinary progress, and much of the farmers' labour is done. Some kinds of trees are nearly in leaf, and several in full bloom. The meadows are luxuriant, and the wheats have shot up so fast, that they wave in the wind. The thermometer rose to-day to 80 degrees of Fah• renheit's scale in the shade. A letter dated Hirschberg, in Silesia, June 20, says—a new scheme has just been submitted for the formation of a trading Company to South America, the chief object of which will be the supplying of the inhabitants upon that Continent with wheat meal, a branch of trade highly lucra tive, and which has hitherto been exclusively in the hands of the merchants of the United States. According to the plan proposed, the Capital of the Company in question is to be half a million of dollars, to .be held in shares of from 2 to 500 dollars, and to bear an interest of 4 per cent. per ann. Mr. G. Hoffmann is charged with the Sub scription List, and other preliminary matters, till the Company is fully established, and a body of Directors chosen. Thus, in all parts of Ger.. many, the Commercial Community are anxiously forming establishments to profit by the markets of the new world. On the 17th ult. (says a Paris Paper) a frightful storm ravaged a-fresh the Department of the Tarn and Garonne, which had already suffered ‘o severely on the 27th of April, and in the month of May. The creps in several of the districts have b een t o t a lly destroyed by th e h a il, Which was of prodigious size, followed by a deluge of rain that completely inundated the fields, and causing various disasters. Amongst the Communes that have suffered most, , are Ne grepalisse, Albias, Bioull, and LamothCapde ville. The wail post going frOm Tonlouse to Paris was overturned in the Commune of Albias, into a deep ditch, during this terrific storm ;' and it was not till after three hours very hard labour, with powerful levers and several pairs of oxen', that the vehicle could he extricated. The Courier and all the passenger s were bruised a good deal, though none of them were seriously injured. Hamburg C urropondenten of In the early part of last !nontit, acco r di n g t o erable In n near l3 ronn, i n a t itilea2r tle ti the Milanese, I , va.: destroyed by fire, by w hi c h I J i ty n ne t , he a consid melancholy accident two servants and twelve horses fell a sacrifice to . the flames. T„.„ Wag gons, laden with valuable merchandi7e from the fair'at Leipzig, were also consumed. In this case two Special Jurors only having answered to their names, Mr. SCARLETT, for the plaintiff, prayed a tales, and ten talesmen were then added to complete the Jury. Mr. HILL, In opening, stated that this was an action brought by John Silk Buckingham against the defendant, who is the publisher of the Quarterly Review, for having published in that work a libel purporting to be a review of a work written by the plaintiff, and entitled " Travels in Palestine, through the Countries of Basilan and Gilead, east of the River Jordan, in cluding as Visit to the Cities of Geraza and Gamala, in the Decapolis." The defendant, pleaded the general issue, and also put upon the record pleas of justification, alleging the truth of the state ments contained in the alleged libel. Mr. SCARLETT stated the case for the plaintiff The pre sent action was, in consequence of the justificivions put upon the record, outs of rareoccurrence before p tribunal of this cputi try. There was scaicely any thing which concerned the inte rests of mankind that did not at one time or another fall under the consideration of a Judge and a Jury; and when that hap ,pened, it was the duty of the Jury, whatever might be the dif ficulties with which the question was surrounded, to deal with it, with the assistance of the Bench, to the best of their judg. ment between both. He might say that in his long experience he had never met a casein which a greater variety of issues were put upon the record, or which afforded a greater latitude for ob servation, than existed in the present case, from the difficulty which he (Mr. Scarlett) had of knowing where tq begin, or what points the defendant wished to submit to the considera. tion .a the Court and Jury. Upon those accounts he should deal candidly and confess his embarrassment from not knowing which side or at what end of this complicated case to be-. gin ; inasmuch as his desire was to deal with it as he did, more or less, with all other cases, with brevity,' and not to waste the time of the Court in general or fruitless discussion, but to come at once to the precise point for the consideration of the Jury: In a case of this kind jus tice would not be done to either party by merely reciting the matters on the record, and then stating the nature of the evidence which he intended to offer. In this case it was neces- L sary to state circumstances more at length. The plaintiff was a gentleman who had passed a great part of his life in India, and during his residence there, he, being a man of talent and, information, published a work, entitled ." Buckingham's Tra vels in India." The publication of those Travels acquired for the plaintiff the good opinion and well wishes of many people in India, together with a considerable portion of literary fame. With the result of that publication in India the plaintiff was quite satisfied ; but the complaint which he made in this Court was, that the defendant, being the publisher of a very popular and widely circulated work, called the " Quarterly Review," had, instead of confining himself to a fair criticism of the plain tiff's work, published a foul libel upon his private character, and held him up as an object of contempt and detestation.— 'this was the general nature of the charge; and the plaintiff in structed him (Mr. Scarlett) to state, that if the reviewer had confined himself to that province f literature, which affords great room for difference of opinion and for severity of remark —if the defendant had stated that the plaintiff was an un learned man, ignorant of ancient languages—a man not having any such knowledge of science as would enable him to write a work of this description, and had pointed out in the work the materials to justify such remarks, he would be the last man to complain in a Court of Justice, because such remarks would be nothing more than fair and just criticism, and the plaintiff would, on such an occasion, rest satisfied with the commenda tions bestowed on his book by the other reviewers who, in the discharge of their duty, had criticised it ; but when the author of a review stepped beyond the line of ethicist, and made his review the vehicle of private malice and personal slan der, then, indeed, had the person thus assailed a 'rright to appeal for redress to a Jury of his country. It rarely hap pened that a man of the plaintiff's age and experience went through the world without meeting with some person from whom he differed with some person, who, whether well or ill founded, entertained feelings of enmity to ward him. This very man must expect, and the wider the circle of his acquaintance, the more likely he was to encoun-,' ter such men • and in such cases a man was entitled to expect that such differences of opinion should not, through the means of a party not connected with the transaction out of which those differences had . arisen, be made the vehicle of public attack.— There was an old observation which was quite true, that the task of criticism was easier than the task of execution ; every person thought himself capable of judging, but few were ca pable of acting.. It was notan uncommon thing for a reviewer to sit down to his task without . having any materials of knows ledge except such as the work furnished, but by fact and dex terity such a person often made a review a very saleable ar ticle, and convinced the ordinary reader that the reviewer had more knowledge upon the subject than the author of the work ; but the reader who looked deeper would discover the ignorance of the reviewer, and that all he knew was gleaned from the work which he professed to criticise. The occupations of the mass of mankind were such as prevented them from looking through the work, and those persons were satisfied with the opinion of the reviewer, who might safely make whatever as sertions lie pleased, and which, it' false, would not, in all pro bability; be detected, except by the author or his friends. He should shew the Jury, in order to enable them to judge of the motives which influenced the reviewer, several glaring instances of misquotation from the work which he professed to review.— lt was fair that he (Mr. Scarlett) should state to the Jury the particular grounds selected by the defendant for the purpose of attacking the plaintiff, and for that purpose it would be ne cessary for him to lay before the Jury an outline of the travels of the plaintiff. He begged the Jury not to be alarmed at what he had stated, for he could assure them that he would oc cupy as little of their time as he possibly could. He was not going to criticise the work ;* but when the Jury were called upon topronounce their judgment it was but fair that they should 'be made acquainted with the circumstances which gave rise to this book. It appeared that the plaintiff, after having passed several years, in India, visited Alexandria, and whilst he was there it was agreed to establish a commercial connection be tween Egypt and Bombay ; in order to carry this into effect it was necessary to acquaint the merchants of Bombay with the commodities of Egypt, and of the treaty entered into by the Pacha of Egypt for their safe conveyance across the Desert; and it was agreed that the plaintiff should proceed overland to India to effect that object. It was also agreed that Mr. Buc kingham being a nautical man, a nd w e ll acqua i n t e d w ith the Red Sea, should navigate vessels through it, should be established as a factor at Suez, and should receive a commission on 'all the metchandize received by him. Mr. Buckingham being a traveller, and so perfect a master of the Arabic as to be able to pass through Egypt without a guide, it was proposed that - he should be the bearer of a letter from the merchants in Egypt to' the merchants of Bombay, and also of the treaty entered into between them and the Pacha of Egypt. In January, 1816, the plaintiff set out from Alexandria, and took with hint two copies of the treaty, in order to avail himself of any chance conveyance to Bombay which might pre sent itself. Ile knew that the proper -rout, if practicable, would be from Alexandria to Aleppo, and thence to Bombay, but those shores were very dangerous, and a passage to the most convenient port very precarious. However, the plaintiff took his passage on hoard a vessel bound for a yortan Syria, but, by stress of weather, they put into Soor, where they stopped to put the vessel into repair. ' In consequence of the time which must necessarily be occupied in repairing the vessel, the plain-, .tiff began to, consider whether he might not be able to effect his, journey by another rout, but the Pacha of Damascuit having lately died, a dispute arose between the Pacha of Tripoli and the Pacha of Acre as to which of them`was to be his successor. Such an event in those countries caused great agitation, indeed so much so that it would not be safe firs the plaintiff to travel without having a passport from each Pacha through whose dominions he wished to pass. In this state of things the plaintiff thought that a native could travel with less difficulty than a European, anti being very' anxious for the de livery of the letters and treaty at Bombay, he procured a native, who was well recommended to him, and to this native he en trusted those documents, which arrived in Bombay in the spring of 1816, long before the plain tifrcould ltave arrived there. The plaintiff' having been obliged to travel through the domi nions of the Pacha of Acre, was obliged to go to Acre to ob tain a passport, but on his arrival at Acre he was told that the Paella was at Jerusalem, and thither the plaintiff was obliged to go. On his arrival at Jerusalem it was his fortune to meet with a gentleman of high honour, of large fortune, and of con siderable learning=with Mr. Bankes, the Member of Par liament fov the University of ,Cambridge, in wh ose co'ai. pany the plaintiff spent a week, and viaited with film two -orethree• places in . the neighbourhood . of Jerusalem ; and as their rout lay in the. same direction,.they travelled together as far as Damascus, -where the plaintiff , left Mr. BernlEntis, and pursued his own rout; - but. in conacquence of the siia a turbed state of the country, end his ill health, he was obliged;- . to return to the place from' which .be,set .out ' ;stud having again visited the places in . the n e i g hb our h oo d o f Jerusalem, and taken his bearings, &c. of the different objects, 4.44* for Aleppo, and in The followipg September.arrived at. Beni, bay, when be learned that such was the activity and diligem, of the native messenger to whom. he entrusted his letters and treaty, that the bills would arrive in London in the foilewing , November. It was true that upon the plaintiff's arrival;, et Bombay, a gentleman who was a partner in the house at Alexsl andria, finding that the object of the mission had not beet; ' accomplished, required that the plaintiff -should repay him the money advanced to defray the expences of the journey frem Alexandria to Bombay, and after some discussion the plaintiff agreed to half the sum advanced. The plaintiff having, frofn constant habit;become a most minute and laborious note taker, shewed, upon his arrival at Culcutta, the notes and observe, tions which be had. made during his journey to several friends, among whom 'was the late Dr. Middleton, the Bishop of Cal cutta, and was recommended to publish them. The -plaintiff afterwards sent the manuscript to a friend of his in England, whia handed it 'over to the defendant, who agreed to publish it, upon terms highly advantaehous to the plaintiff, but in cons's quence of circumstances which afterwards occurred, Mr.• Mar ray declined having any thing to do with the work. What Anise motives were it was dot necessary for the purposes ef-the present action to inquire ; -but if lie (Mr. S.) were ac q u ainied with those motives and thei r origin, he should feel himself justified, by personal motives, to abstain from mixing them up with the present discussion. The plaintiff's friend having met with a refusal - from Mr. Murray, applied to another hooka seller, who, probably influenced by the same causes which ope rated in a contrary direction upon Mr. Murray, published the book, and upon that publication almost every periodical literary work in the country had bestowed almost unqualified praise. It was reserved for thesQnarterly to make the attack, which he would again repeat, if it were a fair review, pointing out the literary defects of the work, would never have been the se hjest of the present action. Be did not mean to prove the fact, but he thought it would be a fair subject for the consideration of the Jury, looking at. all the circumstances of this case, whether the reviewer did not-sometimes make this review the vehicle of puff ing and advertising his own. publications, and throwing disre pute upon the publicatiOns of other rival tradesmen. , Literary men know best whether such things take place. He (Mr. Scarlett) belonged tota profession which it was the fashion of late years to say, was excluded from the liberal arts ; but, not ' withstanding this, he had heard (he did not now speak of the ,Quarterly) although the fact was not within his knowledge, that a wretched novel might he puffed for ten guineas ; and. he had also heard that, for a trifling consideration, a man would be. allowed to attack his enemy in a review. All those arts did not tend to promote the credit which ought to be paid to works of this nature. But, although such practices did not redound to the credit of the work; it worked, much to the disadvantage of ' those against whose character such articles were directed ; and the compact between the people and the reviewer was violated ; because the public had a right to get from the person who set himself up as a reviewer of the literary works of the country, sound and rational, instead of false, information. He should now shew how the privilege of a reviewer was abused in this instance, and how he began his attack by stating a falsehood.— He did not make this falsehood the foundation of cotnpiaint against the defendant, but he mentioned it merely to shew ate!' animus of the libeller, and that his object was not candour and truth, but calumny and detractions -[The Learned' Couneel here read a passage from Mr. Buckingham's book.) Even in the description of the vessel in which the plaintiff took his pa. 'sage from Egypt to Syria, the defendant charged him with falsehood. But it would be seen, upon a reference to the vig nette in the beginning of the plaintiff's work ; that the descrip- . tion was correct. Here was a direet charge of fraud against Mr. Buckingham. The reviewer charged him with having taken the drawing of the vignette from another, and attempted to pass it off as his own, but if the reviewer h a d read the preface of the plaintiff's work—and without reading the preface of a work it was impossible to review it—it would be seen that the plaintiff . had stated the name of the author- from whom he had taken the vignette. With respect to that part of the work in which the:. plaintiff describes the ruins of Geraza„ the defendant, in his, review, comes to the conclusion, that probably Mr. Bucking.. ham was right in saying they were the ruins of Geraza, but in. his index he said they were the ruins of Pella. The plaintiff in his work quoted the authority of Gibbon for the ruins of Geraza and Pella; but, would it be believed, the reviewer, charged him with having omitted the authority of' Gibbon, anti giving it upon his own authority. With respect to the ruins of Gamala, the plaintiff gave authorities otih both sides,. and drew his own conclusions, and that authority was confirmed by the authority of Mr. Burkhardt, a celebrated traveller, whose works were published by the defendant. if any man were to read this review he would think that the plaintiff was a man ignorant, of the place about -which he was writing, and that, instead -qf giving information to his readers, he deserved their pity. [The . Learned Counsel here read the libels, commented upon them as he went along, and compared the various passages in *the . libel with the passages in the work, to shew that the passages in the libel were not justified.] With respect to the charge of it,- ' fidelity and profaneness made against the plaintiff, he would.- say, that a single passage in the whole work could not be duced to shew that the plaintiff did not feel the greatest re,: : verence and respect for the • Sacred Writings, _What ! was not a man who had travelled through the places described in the Holy Scriptures, to be allowed to explain such passages by the observations which he had made on the spot, without being open to the charge of a reviewer, that lie wished - to bring those writings into .contempt ? With respect to Oh. charge in the libel that the plaintiff had been employed ea' travel to India from Alexandria, he would say, that the plaintiff. had no employers, -that he had an interest in the concerri s fqi which he travelled, that with that he was to rise and withahat he was to fall, but he was not, as the writer of this libel insh. nuated, a hireling. kl'ith respect to the charge of the plaintiffoa L ingratitude towards his benefactor, the reviewer did not 404 least explain who he meant by that benefactor, hut that omisslim' was supplied in the note, and-the name of M r . Bankes wilt* mentioned. Now he was instructed by the plaintiff to say that he did not know in what way Mr. Bankes was his benefactoPe that he certainly derived -great pleasure ,from that gentleman's" conversation and society ; but that as far as the plaintiff tOnld recollect about the journey from'Jerusalem, it was thus :—.Mr: Bankes's suite consisted of his servant anti two Arabs ; and Mt: Buckingham rode a horse, but was unaccompanied by a servant: As there was no public inns in that country, travelling expenceti consisted in little presents made to the persons with whoni treVels , • lets stopped ; and when Mr. Buckingham arrived at Dain'asets's', he put down die.. expences of the journey, which emoutited lo 216 piastres, half of which he, al; hough he travelled withOht guide; paid. -That Mr. Bankes knew this, Mr. Buckinghata' believed, from the fact of Mr. Bankes having had in his- poisess• sion at Damascus the book in which this entry was made, but even admitting the fact to be otherwise, what would be there - 4' suit ? That Mr. Bankes, a gen tl eman of fortune,travelling fron' Jerusalem to Damascus; with three servants, and another Ents glish gentleman, incurred expences to the amount of St. losse and that he would not suffer the other gentleman to pay his,patt, amounting to 1/. 7s. 6d. lie did not believe that Mr. Bankes could have had any thing to do with such a statement. He wbod not believe, nay, he would hardly believe it if,Mr. Bankes were to slate it upon his oath, that he had spoken of such a trans. action.. The thing was ridiculous • it was too prepost e rous to reason upon for a moment; and he should dismiss it with this observation, that he believed Mr. Bankes under an irritatioatif feelings, excited by an apprehension that the plaintiff was going to publish information given to him by M r . B an k es . M i en. might have said something which was tortured by - some cious acquaintance into the statement contained in,the With respect to the sketch alleged to have been copied by - the plaintiff, upon a promise not to publish it, he, would stiv that sketch that Mr. Bankes was assisted by the plaintiff s who measured the distances, he (Mr. B.) being obliged, in- sonse*- quence of the opinion of the Mahometans, that taking sketches was a violation of the Second Commandment, to take his sketches privately, and in obscure ,situations; but, notiiitht. standing this, he would say, and he should prove,' that the drawing published in Mr. Buckingham's book was a drawing made by a gentleman at Culcutta, pursuant tothe obsetvatiblis made vby Mr. Buckingham when he paid , the , second visit m Jerusalem. The plaintiff did. not for a moment =mean to in sinate that Mr. Bankes was 'the author of the On the contrary, he had too high an opinion of the honour, -the learn ing, and integrity, of that gentleman, to imagine that he could have written such an article ; and he regretted much that the mistake which had taken possession of that gentleman's mind should have prevented him from having done that - Which he Kad once. intended to have done, namely, to have elided his notes,
