LORD LTITELTON'S ADDRESS ON SIIAKsPERE.—
last evening a large audience aracniblrd at the Athenaeum
to hear an address from Lord Lyttelton on thskspere ;
Janice Watts, Esq., the Mayor of Manchester, oc-
cupied the chair. Hi. lordship commenced with •
few general observations on poetry, and the perd
liar charsicteriaties of Shales pees. He quoted re-
marks upon or connected with his subject, by Metals,
Butler, Hallam, Macaulay, Nelson, Coleridge, Bishop
Wild:dome De Quint. , Carlyle, Dr. Johnson, and Hwy
Taylor, ..a to read extracts from several ti
Shakspere's plays, as illustrative of his powers ui descrip-
tion, in simplicity, and in path.. He then glared at hit
defects, the principal of which he considered was his cons
skint plating upon words. Another fault was his coarseness
and immodesty, from which few of his dramas ewe wholly
free; Mr. Bowdkr deserved the thanks of the public for
hls edition of Shakepere fit for family reading. A third
blemish was his occomonal ilitfkultv and obscurity. But
there were mere spots on the sue. Jibe. In order properly
to understand Shairspere, the pert:moan., or his plays sho
be wan. Lord Lyttelton concluded with a general eulota
upon old writers. His lordship's voice was either thick, sod
his rending of the various pa...ages from Shakspere which
quoted was in the mane inkets of tone and inexpressive mos
notony throughout. Votes of thanks to the lecturer and the
chairman concluded the pravedings.--Vorachesics Gmtediali.
