arm, and a clear bead, and a stern heart, the 13011t111
of the mighty Commas, who had bees the chief in-
strument in lifting up his native land to that height
of glory which it tasked the genius of a Milton to
describe in Attie; term, he would have seen him, the
most glorious of all the Airbus, slink like a
beaten hound from the field. He would have
seen him who had been the great under of the

meat, despair of 1111 safety for Amiga' except from
the help of a tyrant's volnptseiss sm. Nothing is
more pitiable than the west desertioa of the great

Fairfax was in poesession of all his energise of mind

hesk of Cromwell, and it is therefore marcely possible
to reject the conclosion that some extraneous in-

This lamellae was doubtless due to his wife. The
daughter of the aristocratic Verse bid seen enough to
teach her that men the presbyterianism which she
prized was no bulwark of defence ter the rank which
she estimated at a still higher rate. To the ordinary
grounds of the hatred of presbyterians against inde-

divine of rank and the imperishability of aristocratic
distinctiom Fairfax yielded, like many men as
great as he, to female perseverance, and by so doing
he roused the evil genius of his home. He became,
more and more entangled in the meshes of party ambi- 1
lion. He proposed low ends to himself, and lie was
cursed with the accomplishment of hie wishes
The man who had hurled king and court to (Maroc-
boo, set himself seriously to work towards the elm
of his life, to compass the marriage of his daughter 1
with the profligate eon of a profligate father, for the
sole reason that his daughter might be lifted up into
the rank of that aristocracy which he had humbled.
The deed brought with it its own punishment.'

We have in this notice confined our attention eland
exclusively to the memoir. We have only to add, that
the oorreepondenoe appears from the sekabona in the
two volumes before us to be of the greatest import-
snot, and that it would be d.fficult to mine say dis-
covery, of late years, which im likely to throw en great
a light on English history as that of the manuscripts
from which these letters are taken.
