LITERATURE.

QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. CXXI.
Murray, London, 1838.

There is an able Review in the Number before us, of
" Moorcroft's Travels in the Himalayan Provinces of Hin-
dustan," in;which a fine poetic delusion is dispelled respect-
ing the picturesque beauties of the far-famed Vale of
Cashmire, allusions to which, it may be remembered, figure
in almost every page of " Lalla Rookh," and are of con-
stant occurrence in the tales and romances of the East.

I scheme which Frederick Giambelli has projected, for blow-
ing up the enemy's positions on the Scheldt by means of
fire-ships. Unfortunately this scheme comes to the ears of
Cassilda, who, shocked at the idea of her father becoming
its victim, sends him secretly a note of warning, wherein
she exhorts him to absent himself from the Spanish forts
for a brief season. This note is of course shown to the
Prince of Parma, who redoubles his vigilance, and the plan
in consequence but partially succeeds. Driven to despair
by his ill-luck, and maddened with his wife for
having, as he thinks, betrayed him, Giambelli allows the
law to take its course ; sees her consigned to a prison, from
which, however, she soon contrives to escape, and is ulti-
mately reconciled to her husband ; and then sallies out on
the Spaniards, at the head of a chosen body of troops ; is
defeated ; carried back into Antwerp, and there dies of
his wounds, just as the victorious troops of Parma are en-
tering the city gates. His wife, meantime, hearing the
roll of the Spanish drum, and apprehending the worst, flies
to take her post by her husband's side, but, finding him a
bleeding corse, she drops down heart-broken, and breathes
her last sigh on his bosom. On these slender materials
Mr. Kennedy has constructed a play of very considerable
interest, at least as regards the management of the inci-
dents, and the skill and poetical beauty of the dialogue.
We cannot, however, congratulate him on the suceess of
his more impassioned scenes. He is not at home in depict-
ing the sterner and profounder emotions of the soul ; but
dallies and trifles with a passion, rather than developes it.
He shrinks from the task as if he were afraid of it—as if, i❑
fact, he had a sort of latent consciousness of his inability to
grapple with a strong feeling. We will give an instance of
what we mean. When Giambelli has discovered that his
wife has been the instrument of defeating his scheme for
destroying the enemy's forts, and has been led also to be-
lieve that she purposely thwarted it by her father's advice—
that father, who has been his basest and most malignant
enemy through life—this is the language in which his as-
tonishment, indignation, and maddening disappointment
find vent
