TORD BROUGHAM'S OPINIONS OF
. CROMWELL, MILTON, BON APA 11TE,
and HIMSELF.
A Letter of Walter Savage Landor, published, in the Examiner,
Sunday, May 19, 1839.

. . . . . . .
" .In the time of Milton it was not customary for men of
abilities, to address to the people at large what might inflame
their passions. The appeal was made to the serious, to the
well-informed, to the learned, and was made in the language of

their studies.
" But an ang4 cractcd voice is now raised against that
eloquence—
' Of which all Europe rang from side to side.'
" Lord Brougham wculd make us believe that scarcely a
sentence in Milton is easy, patoral, and vernacular."
" Solemnity and stateliness are Milton's chief characteristics.
Nothing is' less solemn, less stately, less 'composed, or less
equable than Lord Brougham's. When he is most vivacious
he shows it by twiches of sarcasm ; and when he springs
highest it is from agony. lie might have improved his man-
ner by recurring to Shaftesbury and Bolingbroke, equilly
disappointed politicians; but there was something of high-
breeding in their attacks, and more of the rapier than of the
bludgeon.
" Between the language of Milton and Brougham there is
as much difference as between an organ and a bagpipe. One
of these instruments fills and makes to vibrate the amplest,
the loftiest, the most venerable edifices, and accords with all
that is magnificent and holy ; the other is followed by vile
animals in fantastical dresses and antic gestures, and sur-
rounded by the clamorous and disorderly." Extracts we loathe
and leave the bludgeon tighter—the hero of the " Edinburgh
Review," the Draw cansir who laid out the aberrations of his
Prince—without even the common decency of a napkin " sur-
rounded by the clamorous and disorderly," to lend a ready ear
to what—

--'Tis as sweet to hear
At midnight on the blue and moonlight deep,
The song and oar of Adria's gondolier
By distance mellow'd, o'er the watery 3weep."

Don Juan, Canto II.: Byron.

" 'Who knows not that truth is strong, next to the Al-
mighty the favour and the love of Heaven ? we have great ar-
gument to think in a peculiar manner propitious and propending
towards us. Why else was this nation chosen before any other,
that out of her, as out of Zion, should he proclaimed and
sounded forth the first tidings and trumpet of reformation to all
Europe ?"
" It is not denied, but gladly confessed, we are to send our
thanks and vows to Heaven loinkr than most of nations, for
that great measure of truth which we ei.joy, especially in those
main points between us and the Pope, with his appurtenances
the prelates; but he who thinks we are to pitch our tent here,
and have attained the utmost prospect of reformation that the
mortal glass wherein we contemplate can snow us, till we come
to beatific vision; that man by this very, very opinion de-
clares that he is yet far short of truth.' --Areopagitica:
Milton.
