solved, the result turned out to be just another pro-
vocative to the despairing dictum of Sir CHARLES
COLDSTREAM. There was nothing in it. The
Passage was there, but it was of no avail towards
shortening the communication between east and
west, between the new world and the old,
between Europe and America and Asia. The
channel was found to be so rarely open
to navigation, all but so uninteruptedly
blocked up by the everlasting ice of those Arctic
regions, that commerce could hope for no facilita-
tion for its advancement in that direction. At any
rate, fruitless though the result when obtained,
the result was obtained—the adventurous exploit
of M'CLURE settling the question definitively as to
the existence of a North-West Passage.
Several years since the sometime Governor of
the Hudson's Bay Company, Sir GEORGE SIMPSON,
did by land what a century ago Captain JAMES
COOK did by sea—" put a girdle round the earth "
—a little less rapidly, it is true, than Ariel in The
Tempest. Sir GEORGE made, in point of fact, "An
Overland Journey Round the World "—traversing,
among other regions, the dense primeval forests
occupying a large proportion of the central part of
the North American continent, about midway be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans—the
core and heart in effect of that vast and almost
untrodden dominion, over which Sir GEORGE SIMP-
SON presided as virtually, in one sense, the repre-
sentative of the Sovereign, or literally, and more
strictly speaking, as the chosen head of a
great mercantile company. From seaboard to
seaboard paced the daring footsteps of the enter-
prising Governor Traveller.
Now-a-days, what M'CLURE did by the North-
West Passage, what SIMPSON did by the Hudson's
Bay Territories—that heroic and generous hearted
Christian Philanthropist (the words, however, are,
we cannot but feel, intrinsically synonymous), Dr.
LIVINGSTONE is now gradually aiding in accom-
plishing in regard to the interior of the vast but
hitherto, in many parts (at least, by Europeans, at
least by civilised man) unpenetrated African con-
tinent. Eventually, of course, the thing is to be
done there as elsewhere. And if ,by no other
means, it will, first ofall, be effected by the bringing
together of the extremest points of the routes tra-
versed by different geographical enquirers—here,
by a Du CITAILLU or a BUXTON, here by a BRUCE
or a LIVINGSTONE.
Rapidly, bit by bit, the vague portions of e
being say,
MER-
CATOR'S Chart of the World—that Chart, by the
way, which is about the nearest approach yet made
bitt the

filled up by those etching needles of inexorable
precision, guided by the science of geographers and
hydrographers as skilled and as reliable as the
Member for Bodmin, or as the author of the Phy-
sical Atlas, as Mr. JAMES WYLD, or as Mr. ALEX-
ANDER JOHNSTON. Gradually, in this world, there
is no room being left for romancing. The Ultima
7'hule proves to be close at hand and perfectly
accessible. Armories, that beautiful old-world
dream-land of the fugitive Britons, dwindles down
centuries ago into the still picturesque, no doubt,
but extremely matter-of-fact Brittany—not the
least in the world like what it
P_ llwLausToAnßceeb,elnieavmedelyto,
be according to HOMER and
(among other things) the region where SATURN was
kept in durance by JUPITER, and the equally mar-
vellous site of the mythical garden of the dragons
and the golden apples of the Hesperides. Places
where the imaginations of the old poets and
mythologists expatiated and ran riot, are now
accurately surveyed for engineering purposes by
uupoetical men armed with a chain and a theodolite.
Insomuch is this system extending itself far and
wide over the globe, that one hardly cares any
longer to localise any scene peopled, in prose or
verse by creatures of the imagination. One has a
reluctance in this way, for example, to
recognise in the island of Juan Fernandez, the
veritable abode of that alter ego of ROBINSON
CRUSOE, the involuntary recluse ALEXANDER
SELKIRK. We prefer, in regard to all
these strictly hypothetical regions, to fix them in
that very vague whereabouts 'ycleped No Man's
Land—regions, let us say, like those up in the
clouds at the top of JACK'S Beanstalk. Besides, it
is hardly worth while, in this age of steam
and electricity, of iron ships afloat and of iron roads
ashore to go in quest (let us suppose) of the island
of Prospero—even for that matter seriously to
identify the homes of SCYLLA and CHARYBDIS
with those vexatious Straits of Messina, Nacre
they would be looked for in vain--or, again, to seek
the immemorial Pillars of llEacuLLs upon either
shore, here African, here European, of the Gut of
Gibraltar.
