Y'S LECTURES.

Mr. TTIACICERAT delivered his first lecture on the
English humorists of the last century, yesterday, at Willies
Dooms, to a very numerous and distinguished audience.
There wan, of course, a great curiosity to hear such a subject
treated by a writer combining philosophical insight with
• kindred genius, and in the natural, lively, social, and
lifelike way which might be expected from the author of
Peiolencus" and " anity Fair. • The subject of the first
lectare was Dean Swift. . . .

Mr. Tnacacttav began by saying that he must not be
expected, in treating of these humorists, to mutter only a
series of lively and facetious observations. Harlequin with-
out his mash was known to be as grave a man as his
neighbours. It was to their lives, more than to
their books, that he proposed 'to direct his attention,
and they now suggested reflection; of a serious if nut • sad
character. As their object had been to comment on others,
they now became the subjects of observation themselves ;
the preachers of yesterday became the text of to-day's ser-
mon. Ile then recapitulated the leading facts of Swift's
life, his birth at Dublin, his service in Sir William Tem-
ple's, his political career. Alluding to his biographers, be
happily characterised Johnson as having given him a surly
recoioution and passed on. After all, the best test war to
say of any such man, " How would you have liked to have
been his friend i" He should have liked to have been
Shakspeare's call-boy ; he should have liked to have lived
on Harry Fielding's staircase—to have opened his door for
him with his latch-key and shaken hands with him in the
morning, and listened to his talk over his jug of small beer:
he should have enjoyed the charm of Addeion's convene-
bun. Nuw, as to Swift, if you had been his inferior, he
would lure treated you kindly ; if you had met
him aa a man and his equal, he would have
assailed you ; if you had been a nobleman he would have
been the must delightful companion in the world. His ser-
vility swaggered so, that it looked like independence. He
took the road like Macheath, stopping all the carriages that
tame his way to got what he could (ruin them; but there
was one carnage with a mitre on it which he tooled for
eery ansiroolty. It never came, however • so, said Mr.
Tbeekeray, " be bee Ms pita is the air a ewes, and

wed to the last. But Swift was. use ea Irishman
became he wee bons in Dublin, an sang than an
Ingliehnum been he Calcutta was • He uses
hie words thrifttally as he did his lbsteme. He
has no redundaaey of illustration. Often be seems afraid
of heino eloquent. Neat, he gave a pretam of Temple's
houwhold and Swift's position there, which was one of
the most characteristic parts of the lecture. There
this young obscure genius met as an inferior some
of sir William's important friends. What dull pomposity
he must have listened to! What feeble jokes ! I wonder
(continued Mr. Thacker a) " if it ever struck Temple that
this man wee his master i Doubtless such a notion never
came inside his ambrosial wig. What did the steward and
Sir William's gentleman think of that Irish young gentle-
man ? Here also was introduced some most felicitow ri-
dicule of Temple's quotations and pedantry. And now came
the lint allusion—introduced with consummate elegance—
to Swift's lure of Stella. Swift's eyes, according to Pope,
were as azure a.. heaven, and there was one person who was
inclined to see heaven nowhere else ! Contrasting Swift's
humble position under Temple with his brilliant and im-
portant station during the Harley government, the lecturer
came to the question of Swift's religious sincerity. Some of
his critics had turned it in his favour that he performed
his devotion. secretly in his house. But rarely there was no
reason why there should not have been an open assembly
for such a purpose ! One of the most characteristic things
was his advice to John (lay to turn clergyman—John
Gay—the wildest of the London wits—the author of
the " Beggar's Opera!" He considered Swift as hay-
ing been a sceptic, and having suffered dreadfully from
his scepticism. Henry Fielding and Steele were true
churchmen: they belaboured free-thinkers heartily; and
each was ready, after he had stumbled, to go on
his knees and cry peecaci! Swift was a man of diffe-
rent powers and a different mind. But he was far too
great to have any cant. As far as the hoidens of his ser-
mons goes, he was perfectly honest. They were political
pamphlets. Swift was strangled in his band. He seemed
to have been haunted all his life by a fury. His sufferings
were awful. He was lonely. The great generally are.
The giants must be alone. Here be quoted the anecdote
of Archbishop King, and Swift's declaring himself to him
the most miserable of men • and, approaching directly the
subject of Swift's attachments, apostrophised Stella with
much tenderness and grace. She was, ho said, one of the
saints of English story. In spite of their disunion, and of
Vanessa and the verdicts of most women, who generally
took Vanema's part in the emtroversy, the brightest
port of Swift's story was his love fur Esther John-
son. It had been his (Mr. Thacketay's) lot (of course
in thy way of his profession) to go through a great
deal of sentimental reading; but he knew no writ-
ing more touching than those notes of Swift's to
her, in what he called the Little Language. Such
a man must have had a great deal of love in him.
He gave a lively picture of the dean's first acquaintance
with Vanessa; and said—quite in the strain of the author
of " Vanity Fair "—that Stella had enjoyed erne nice
little bit of injustice ; that that young lady—Mat oilier per-
son—had been sacrificed to her. His descriptionof the sad
and clouded later day of the gnat man wee vet powerful
and affe:ting; and he visited Swift's treatment of vary
severely. But he paid then, as he did thenophest,
dint homage to the Dean's genius—of whisk be appeared to
have a very high appreciation.
The lecture was heard throughout with evident delight
and attention, sod the applause wail frequent and hearty.
