Vols. 111. and IV. By T. B. illAcmary. leragissa
sad Co.
There will be in England more eyes earnestly bent'
on these volumes today than on' any work extant'
which depends for its reception on the mere merits'
of the author. The excitement in the "Row" will
communicate 'itself to every library and book ash in
the kingdom. The third and fourth volumes of Ilbp
malty will be a topic which for a time will divide
attention with despatches from the Crimea end the
message of the American President. Mr. Macaulay
may indulge in the full assurance that he
will excite to-day mom interest than hes
been manifested in say historical labours since
the time when Boredom read his history to
the assembled Greeks at the Olympic Games. And
although severe critics, and political opponents, and
even calm students, may each and all lied matter fee
sewers in the works of the most brilliant of li '
Isaiah historians, there is scarcely an individ
est of all the three claims who will deny that Mr.
Macaulay's popularity is well earne4. It is true
is not always consistent. lie will at one time
express a doubt whether England owes most to the
Roman catholic religion or to the Reformation;
at another will lay it down as an incon-
trovertible truth that catholicism is incompatible
witk advancement in knowledge, in freedom, in wealth,
and in the arts of life; and thee will tell you arms-
larly that "from the time when the barbarians over-
ran Europe to the time of the revival of letters, the
infloeoce of the church of Rome has been generally
favourable to science, civilisation, and good govern-
ment." It may be objected with tome truth that
Mr. Macaulay delights in startling and antithetical
relations between cones and effect, as when be puts
down the immorality of the Cavaliers to the asceticism
of the Puritans, and makes the "reign of the strum-
pet," a lftitimate coosequenos of the "reign of the
saints." There is some truth in the charge that he
wanders through history.in march of the picturesque.
Still better founded is the objection directed
against the tendency to isolate events or characters
from the atmosphere of circumstances in which they
were enveloped. He is the Canaletti of historians.
Everything with him is painted distinctly with the
sharpest of outlines. It is true also that, although
hie style is brilliant, his language is not suggestive.
His words express just what they mean, and nothing
more. This may appear to some a beauty rather than
a defect; but any one who has read Thuoydides,
not to mention Plato, will recognise the grand
geetiwo=
vs power, not merely of waterier, but of
y which the key-note is struck to long trains el
thought. There is less forts is the objection that he
writes as a partisan. History cannot be written
like mathema An historian cannot be se
bloodless as a fish. Mr. Macaulay's truth lies
at the bottom of a whig well: who can blame
him for preferring to fill his Docket from its waters
rather than from any other reservoir ? Still there are
occasions when the spirit of partisanship appears to
have influenced the historian in ouch a manner as to
cause him to shut his eyes to the truth. Take, for
instance, his defence of Mary against the charge
brought against her—not only. by foes, but by friends
—of heartlessness on her arrival at Whitehall, the
palms which had but a short time before been the
residence of her now exiled father. " She mime into
Whitehall laughing jollity, as if to a wedding," says
Evelyn. In his eagerness to vindicate the character
el kiebseeins, Mr. Macaulay desires as to believe her
symelbse that she was merely acting a part to plane
by boied.

They secured liberty at home, and vindicated the
' bourns and glory of Fagland abroad. Ireland, which
had been a battle-field of contending factions and
opposite religions, was pacified. Scotland was quieted,
and all chance of successful rebellion crushed. The
principles of civil and religious liberty were constantly
asserted by the King, except when the violence

personal character of William that most of this im-
provement was due. The greatest statesman of the
age was the most tolerant and progressive of mo-
narchs. And yet, with all this, William wan never

The Siege of Londonderry affords great scope for
the descriptive powers of the historian, and is pour-
trayed with admirable skill. Perhaps, however, the
last charge at the battle of the Boyne conveys a bet-
ter idea of Mr. Maesuley's felicitous manner of weav-
ing anecdote into narrative without interrupting the
current of the discourse
Daring mar half as hour the battle continued to rage

at this canjesetere, William cams up with tke left wing.
He had head noels dillisulty in crossing. The tide was
mains fast. His charger had bees forced to swiss, and
had been almost lost is the wed. As soon as the king was
on firm ground he took his sword in hie left heed,—for his
right um wee stiff with his wound and his bandage,—and
led his men to the place where the fight was the hottest.
His arrival decided the fats of the day. Tat the Irish horse
retired fighting obstiestely. It was bug ressothered
among the protestants of Ulster that, is the midst of the
tumult, William rode to the head of the Butikilleners.
" Waal will you do for me t" he cried. He was aot imme-
diately rougaimed ; aid one trooper, taking him for an
essay, was about to are. William gently put aside the
earbies. " What," said he, "do yea not know your
Meade)" "It is his majesty," said the Mead. The ranks
of amity protestant yeomen est up • shoat of joy. " Gentle-
me," said Williams, " you shall be my guards to-day. I

One of the most remarkable peculiarities of this man or&

Is no part of his History is Mr. Macaulay more
✓aciness fW than in his account of the part taken by
William, as the east 0 the great coalition formed
against France. He disentangles the confused net-
-1
erect of the diplomacy of the period, and enables us
to tines the full meaning of the complicated relations
in which the various parties stood to each other. The
whole chain of events, from the union of the various
powers forming the coalition, down to the Peace of
Ryswick, is developed as progressively as the action
of a good drama. Mr. Macaulay shows that William
was no lees a warrior than a statesman,
and that the danger from which Europe
was preened--a danger as great in kind and
degree as that by which the Continent was lately
threatenedfromßtuisiao serendancy—was for the most
part doe to William's genius and peneveranos. In
reading the historian's eloquentnarative of the events,
diplomatic and military, in which William took
ll so
prominent a part, in which also he appeared equay
great as a warrior and a statesman, it is not difficult
to account for the enthusiasm with which Mr.
Macaulay eulogises his hero. It is true that he rather
wilfully shuts his eyes to some of William's defects,
showing himself more in the character of an
advocate than an historian, but it is better
to err on the side of sympathy with heroic
grandeur than on the contrary side. The following
statement of the benefits which England had derived
daring the first nine years of the government of Wit-
icsufficient to show that the enthosiasinexcited
by the character of the man by whom those benefits
were achieved is justifiable:

These are the concluding words of the fourth
volume.
In reading this History, we have been forcibly
struck by the fact that England owes its
greatness far more to the grandeur of the
national character than to its statesmen or
its kings. It was not statesmen who kftght
about the Revolution ; for when William had
to select a ministry he could scarcely find men honest
or wise enough for his purpose. Denby, Halifax,
and Shrewsbury, his first ministers, were neither
them men whose genies or character made them
markable. William was ever surrounded by
who would willingly have left him for James,
their desertion been safe or profitable. Bat
nation was stronger than the statesmen. The
it was who brought about the Revolution. I,
people prevented a counterrevolution. It .
which constitutes the difficulty and also the grandeur
of English history. The life of a king is compare.
tively easy work for the historian. The life of a
nation requires deeper study, and greater accuracy
of perception. "We envy England her Macaulay,
said a German critic when reviewing the first
volume of the work ; "but we envy Macaulay still
more foe having a country with such a history.

of about 1601. or 2001. It appears that a mamaed
David Millard, a betty collier, went to work that morning
at a oolitic", at Priorfields, sad after working some time he
sent a boy is his employment, named Thomas Lear, to pm-
, cute a quantity of gunpowder, which was kept in tho miler
of his (Idillard'e) boost. This powder, it is stated, was duly
given to the boy Lear by the wife of David Millard; but a
mooed led, Sensed Millard, was afterwards d.spatehed from
the pit for horse corn. The latter was told to wait awhile
by Mr. Conseil!, who kept the horse corn, as he had not
then doss to serve hime The two boys are said to have met
at Mr. Cotterill's hoses as Lear was departing with the
powder. Millard complained to Mr. Cotterili's servant girl
of the cold, and as then was no Am in Mr. Cotterill'e house,
be said he would go Into his own home. In a few minutes
after he left Mr. Cotterill's a tremendous implosion
took plies. Millard's house was the metre of a
block of three, all of which were blown up.
Fortunately, the Nadia of human life intended no further
than to the middle house, occupied by David Millard, and
in this no fewer than four persons were killed. Their tames
and ogee are :—Jane Millard, the wife, aged 2; Samuel
Millard the boy who was Dent for the horse corn, aged
9; Absalom Millard, aged 11 mouths; and a girl aged 7
years, named Hanna% Millard. Two children in the same
house were injured—David Millard, aged 3, espected to
recover, and Fanny Allen, aged 10 years, of whose moray
so hope is entertained. In the first of the three booms
Elisabeth Jackson, the daughter of the tenant, was injured
Is both legs. The wife of John Caddiek, in the third house,
was slightly Waled; but Hannah Stephens, her mother,
who lived with them, was seriously injured is the heed.
Nothing certain is known as to the muse of the implosion,
bet the geners,impression was that Millard, on going into
his own home procured a light, with which he descended
the cellar, and that from some muse—whether he went
purposely to the powder barrel (in whittle it is said there
was no great quantity of gunpowder) or not, is of course
unknown—the implosive material ignited. The matter has
