SMIRKE'S SHAKESPEARE, In thr cour , c ut Publicmiun, ILLUSTRATIONS of SHAIi ESPEARE, from Pictures Painted expressly for this WORK, by ROBERT SNIIRKE, Esq. ILA. and, Engraved in the finest style by the most eminent Historical. Engravers. A celebrated German critic has said, that the faMe of Sbakspeare, " for centuries to come, will continue to - gather strength, like an Alpine avalanche, at every period of its de scent." Certain it is, that any work connected with Shah speare's name, and which has fur its . object.the illustration of his inimitable productions, may confidently rely on finding favour with the world. His tame is the cause of fame in others. Commentators innumerable have been permit ted to inscribe their otherwise perishable names on the eternal rock of his genius ; and even Playeri have for yearsacquired opulence and popularity by - happy portraitures of his living characters. In announcing, therefore, a series of engravings, intended as embellislnnenis forany edition of Shalispeares Plays, it is unnecessary to offer an argument to vindicate, or an apology to excuse, the undertaking. The spirit of poetry, which hanists every scene of the Plays of Shakspeare, beckons to her sister art - to•wander with her, and thus " wake society the tweeter welcome:" and it will now, it is hoped, he seen that she dues not call in vain. In the whole range of the drama, there ace no voit'ks• in which characters so striking and various, or situations so romantic and delightful, present themselves, to invite the illustration, and inspire the emulation, of painting. The editions of our Poet's plays have for the most part been published without embellishments, , or encumbered with en gravings so . indifferent, as to make - their possessors etusider them " when unadoined, adorned 'the - 61°st." It is chiefly to supply such editions that the. Proprietors of, the present Work have undertaken it. Each Play will fnroish subjects for five elegant Engravings, in addition tots Vignette ; the aggregate number, therefore, of the plates will be Two Hun dred and Twenty-two. The name of the Artist from whose hand the Paintings fur this Work are to proceed, way Cully justify, and will doubt less not deceive, the most sanguine expectations. The Ga nius of Smirke has successfully displayed its power in his Il lustrations to Gil Bias, the Arabian Nights' Entertainments, and the late Edition of Dun Quixote ; and the varied o scenei of passion and humour, in the Plays of Shalcspearevill afford a still more ample scope for the 'extraordinary skill and beauty of his pencil. The Proprietors, ,refraining from the usual promises and flatteries of a prospectus, content themselves with referring the public to the Numbers already published of this Work, as fair specimen of the care and ability with which the whole will regularly be produced. MODE OF PUBLICATION: I. The Work will he comprised in Thirty seven Numbers ;• each Number containingFivelllustratire Engravings, and a Vignette. 11.

B.—Yesterday the following Address from the might Hon. the LORD MAYOR, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of the City of Dublin, was presented to his Excellency the Most Noble the Marquis of WELLESLEY, Lord Lieutenant, &c.:— MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY, 'We, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizeni of the City of Dublin, in Common Council assembled, anxiously embrace the earliest occasion of tendering to your Excellency our most sincere and cordial congratulations upon your Excel_ lency's appointment to the illustrious station of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. In the delegation of this high authority to your Excellency, so deservedly dear to our affections, by the united considerations of birth, family, and character, we re - cognise the same feeling of attachment which has uniformly characterised the acts of our revered Sovereign towards thisrt of his Kingdom, whilst your Excellency's exalted reputation, long-experienced wisdom, and eminently distinguished talents, afford us the best ground of assurance, that this new instance of his Majesty's favour will prove not less conducive to the interests of his Irish People, than it has been congenial to their wishes, and gratifying to their feelings. From your Excellency's known and affectionate attachment to this your native country, we are convinced that the disturb- ances which have affected part of the interior, already engage your most serious consideration ; and if, notwithstanding the firm and merciful administration of justice which has recently taken place, the same spirit of licentiousness and insubordination should unhappily continue, we feel we may anticipate, with con fidence for our country, all that can be accomplished by a firm and temperate execution of the laws, and a just and efficient exercise of the power with which your Excellency is invested. With pride we recognize in your Excellency a Freeman of our ancient and loyal Corporation ; and most sanguinely trust, that your arrival in this Island will prove the harbinger of re turning tranquillity and union; and that, when you render up to our beneficent Sovereign the high trust which he has corn niitted to your hands, you may retire ; from the Administration of this country, with the delightful consciousness, that your efforts for its peace, prosperity, and happiness, have been crowned with success. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Clerks, and Cor poration, having this day waited on his Excel lency with the foregoing Address, he was pleased to return the following Answer : Among the various emotions with -which I received this most affectionate and loyal Address, I feel pecUliar satisfaction in observing your ardent sentiments of gratitude and dutiful at tachment to our beloved and most gracious Sovereign. It will . be my grateful task to convey to his Majesty this re newed testimony of the affection of his faithful Citizens of Dub lin; and, as such pledges of your sentiments cannot fail to prove most acceptable to his benevolent heart, I am, persuaded that your reception of my appointment to the Government of Ireland will tend to confirm me in the confidence and favour of my Sovereign. " • The kindness of your sentiments of personal regard towards me, has made an impression on my heart, which no language Can express, and no time or circumstances can efface. Animated by these testimonies of public esteem, I undertake the duties of my arduous station- with .cheerfulness, though not without an awful sense . of the weight of the great charge. You may be . assurecl, that the disturbances which have pre vailed to so calamitous an extezitinAhe country, have engaged my most serious and anxious attention. _ . Obedience to the law must be established—not merely for the dignity of the Government, or for the protection of property, but for the happiness and prosperity of the people, whose con dition must ever be miserable while it shall be more safe to violate than to obey the law. It is the brighrest ornament of the Crown of our benignant Sovereign, that the King of these realms is:sworn, at the august ceremony of his Coronation, to administer law and justice in mercy in all his judgnients. In representing the sacred person of his Majesty in this country, it will be my primary obligation. to dispense this bless ing to my native country ; and I trust that such a course of Ad ministration may, in process of time, restore the principles of order and lawful Government. I recollect, with the most cordial pleasure, the early moments of my public life, when my conduct was distinguished by the approbation of your ancient and loyal Corporation, and when I had the honour of being enrolled in the distinguished list of the Freemen of this my native City. ,Since.that period of time I have been called upon to serve my Sovereign and my Country. in various stations, and 'in dis tant climates ; wherever my lot has been east, I have endea voured not to disgrace my family or my country. Now, if, under the favour of my gracious Sovereign, and of Providence,.l should be enabled to restore peace and concord to Ireland, my long public career will be closed with happiness, honour, and genuine glory. In attempting this great and glo rious work, I rely on the confidence and co-operation of my countrymen ; and your conduct inspires an ardent hope that I shall nut be disappointed.. Jan. 7,1822.

" Rye Court, Saturday morning, f o'clock. " A most daring attacktwas made this morning ' between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, on: Rye Court . 11ouse, by a party of armed White Boys. The- family were alarmed by an attempt to force the front door, accompanied by a constant firing, and reiterated shouts. Most' fortunately, preparations 'had been made, and they were successfully repulsed by a smart fire kept up by Mr. Rye and Mr. S. Godsell, assisted by a ! guard which Mr. Rye had in the house since the cornthencernent of the disturbances. " Those misguided men broke allAlte windows in the front of the house, and quite demolished as extensive green-house that formed one of 'the wings." FOREIGN LITERATURE. No. LIV. L • CE:soLocit, i, e. (EzioLoGY, a Didactic Poem, in four Cantos, with Historical Notes, by M. T. of MacoN. 12uto. Paris, 1821. This .poem, the author informs us, has been written several years, and " its ptibliCation de. layed on account of the interest taketi by the French in state affairs." We were not aware that politics were so unfriendly to the literary en joyments of our Gallic neighbours ; and If this continues, they must renounce their representa tive government, for there is no tolerating one so uupoetical! A poem less, you will say, is no such great misfortune. Much greater, perhaps, than you imagine, and I should have been very sorry that (Enology for instance, had been lost .to us. The first canto of this poem is devoted to the Wine of the Ancients, and exhibits a pleasing and light erudition ; such, indeed, as we might ex pect from.a poet and a wine bibber. The learn ed may tell us who was the inventor of wine, who planted the first vineyard, what year the first vintage was gathered : in short, what means Noah employed to clarify his wines : that is their affair, we do not require so much from a poet of Macon. The learned may also be supposed to be better ac quainted with the cellars of the Greeks than with those of Burgundy, and consequently, to esteem less highly the Cote rotie than. the famous nechantes with which. Homer takes such delight in fuddling all his heroes. As for us, who know something of those tnatters,we shall say with M. T., N'enviez pas le vin-que buviaent vos andtres : Car ils ne furent pas en tout nos meilleurs maitre*. It is.certain that the progress of wine has fol lowed that of the human mind ; 'but the poet does well to remark, to the honour of the an cients, that if they did drink bad wine, at least they drank it pure, and would have deemed it a sacrilege to' have 'mixed a single 'drop of water with it. This culpable mixture was thought of at a later period. _ Le premier, dans son yin, MQampus mit de I'eau. And his memory, as M. T.reminds us, was justly denounced to the execration of posterity. An old poet, whose name I have forgotten, has placed M6lampus in the infernal regions, by the side of the greatest criminals, which proves that long be fore Beccaria, they knew well how to appor tion punishments to crimes. Th . e author again calls our attention to the Bacchic exploits of the antients, exploits which Homer has worthily celebrated, and which re flect more honour on his heroes than the taking of Troy, a little paltry town which resisted their efforts ten long years, while it would not have held out 'against us as many minutes. These great men, I assure you, did not drink small draughts, for some of the goblets they made use of are in our possession, and which they emptied at a single draught. It is impossible to look at these vessels without being struck with admira tion ; and indeed it is more especially where an tiquity drinks that it is entitled to our vene ration. M. T.. treats, in his second Canto, on the choke of Wines, and the precautions to be taken for keeping them. The following one is particu larly important : Dans la mime retraite flvitez de loger • Les vins qui de leer fleur n'ont pu se &gager Et ecux qui tOlis les aus, quand la vigne fermente Agilent leurs . voisins du feu qui le tourmente. It is because, according to the very philoso phical remark of the poet of Macon, old wines, -like old men, are in want, De repos, et de paix, doux plaisirs de cet Age Helas ! qu'•ignore encore la jeunesse volaye. . M. T. cannot recommend us too earnestly to take care of our wines ourselves nor would it; be derogatory, even in a „Peer, to go into his cel lar, when - . we know, Que Guillaume premier au bruit de ses tambours DvSeendait dans la sienne, au mins tousles buitjours. Pour visiter ses vine, en faire rinventaire Qu'il ne confiait pas, nltlipe a son sccrkaire. 1 regret that M. 'l'. did not relate here an anecdote of which he can scarcely be ignorant, and . to which the subject naturally led. William proposed one day to his Academy this great, questiOn : " Why is wine of Champagn e eller vescent ? That learned body considered a long time, and at length asked the King for four of five dozen of - Champagne to make such experi ments as were necessary for the solution of the question. " Let there all go to the ," said " Will drink my wine withont them." In so doing he, he shewed his wisdom, for the problem would tint have been solved until the last bottle had been emptied. Besides, after having examined why the wine of Champagne effervesces, those Gentlemen would have wished to know why those of Burgundy and Bordeaux are not effervescent ; and from expe riment to experiment, all his Majesty's wine would have been exhausted ; and though the Academy might be very learned, where is the wine -drinker; be he monarch or subject, who would have sacrificed his cellar to . it ? But to return to our Poem. The precepts and recommendations of the Author are catiforinable to those given in the learned writings of a Noble Peer, whose name is never - pronounced by Wine drinkers except wilh the greatest respect. But I do not see why M. T. should reproach Count Chaptal for having been silent respecting the wines of Macon. That writer has spoken of the 'wines of Burgundy, and, in spite of a certain di vision which vinous geography does not and will never acknowledge, Macon is still, and Ma con Will always he, in Burgundy. It is true the Constituent Assembly wished it otherwise'; but the wine-bibhers fortned - the strongest party, and, thanks to them, Burgundy and Champagne are still retained. We need not ask to which wines our poet gives the preference. To those of Alacon; without: a doubt; and if country be dear to all generous hearts, are not its rights still more sacred when it is a wine country ? I, therefore, applaud tile noble feelings which dictated these verses : O ma chore patrie ! O lieux cliers a Bacchus! Puissiez vous, par mes vers, titre encore plus c,onnus f. • Vain . eipoir ! sur vos vies votre glOire se fonde, Et, bien mieux (pie mes vers, ils enivrent le morlde.. I believe it. When afterwards the poet con asserts that the wines of his , conutry, even those accounted of the second quality, N'en soit psi me:ins l'orgiteil des lieux de leur naissance,' Et tout le deseipoir dei vignobles de France, I can still excuse tbis rapturous patriotic effusion ; but I have heard that it will not pass every where without opposition. The Champinois, when the pre-eminence of wines is in question, are not very patient and forbearing ; and if; Burgundy has her poets, Champagne has also hers„.who know how to maintain the honour of her vine= yards. I am told there is one who is already tuning his lyre ; and we shall see whether th,.. sparkling Ai is less inspiring than the unctitQus Chenas and the racy .Tullienas. These are the discussions I like ; we gain at least something by them„and they gave birth t 3 a-spirit of emulation which proves beneficial to our tables: It has been remarked that memo rable in the annals of the vintage is that year is which war breaks out between the poets of Macon and those of Reims; the rival wines are always better, however otherwise may be the quality of the verges, - The Utitif,y of Wine is the subject of the third Canto. Are you ill ? you have at hand a physi cian more powerful, in the opinion of M. T., than the God of Epidaurus. The doctor is in the cellar; bring him up. The poet cites-very im posing authorities in support of his opinion— Hippocrates, Guy, Patin, and Rabelais. Modern physicians entertain similar doctrines; and all recommend it 3 well knowing, from personal ex perience, its good effects Car maint sage doetear, qui ]'ordonne aujourdhui, Comore ses devauciers, en fait l'essai sur lui; Et l'on ma souvent dit dit que c'etait a leur table, Que nous devions chercher ce remecle agreable. . This is for the body. As for the mind, the ser. -vices rendered to it by wine are undeniable. It -raises the spirits, and promotes vivacity and mirth. All travellers who have passed through . Macon have observed these effects. The vine leaves of Bacchus unite very well with the laurel of Apollo ; and M. T. names many illustrifius poets who have been at the same time very illustrious wine-drinkers, Woe there- fore to them who drink nothing but water : good wine inspires good verses, and I suspect A‘le author of CE nology had drunk a glass too -much when he composed his third canto, but espe daily the episode which terminates it, and which I,regret that I cannot insert here. In the fourth and last canto, M. T. celebrates the Pleasures of Drunkenness. What will Reason say ? Whatever she pleases ; our poet is very in different concerning her opinion. • Cette fiere raison dont on fait tant de bruit, Un peu de vin la chasse. Eh bien quand elle fuit Antis, que perdons nous ? Je crois fort peu de chose; Un ennuyeux tyran qui j'amais ne compose.. It is certain that Reason is very choice as to her mode of life, and on this account many people come to the determination to do without her.. We .shOuld, however, be, quite :iu error if w.e supposed that M. T. considers all drunken ness as meritorious. On the contrary, it is, in . his opinion, a great crime.to.become intoxicated with 'bad wine, especially with such as has bee►► adulterated ; for in the tavern, as in l'arnassus, Rien n'eat beau gue le vrai; le vrai seul est aimable, or drinkable, as the poet of Macon says. By the way, this doctrine ought to gain our author Some favour with the . moralists, if there are any so un reasonable as to forbid us to arink too • much when the wine is good. Before we take leave of our author, I would recommend him, in another edition; to 'Correct many prosaic and negligent verses which4'occur but too often in the course of his poem,' and some vicious constructions which we are surprised to Meet in a work generally written with correct ness. :• C.
