" The inequalities of life are real things, they can neither
be explained away, nor done away ; ' Expellas furca tamen
usque recurrent.' A leveller, therefore, has long ago been
set down es a ridicaletts acid ellinierleal being, who, if he could
iiinish his work to-day, would have to begin it again to-mor-
ntw. The things that constitute these real inequalities, are
four—strength, talent, riches, and rank. The two former
would constitute inequalities its the rudest state of nature; the
two latter more ptoperly belong to a. state of society more or
ess civilized and refined. Perhaps the whole four are all ulti-
mately resolvable into power. But in the just appreciation of
this power, men are too apt to be deceived. Nothing, for in-
stance, is mere common than to see rank or riches preferred to
talent, and yet nothing is more absurd, That talent is of a
much higher order of pater than riches, might be proved in
various WayS, being so much more in deprivable and indestructi-
ble, so much more above all accident of change, and all sonfu-
sent of chance. But the peenliae superiority of talent over
riches may be best discovered from hence--1 hat the influence
of talent will be the greatest In that government which is the
most pure; while the influence of riches will always be the
greatest in that government which is most corrupt. So that,
from the preponderance of talent, we may always infer the
soundness and vigour of the commonwealth ; but from the pre-
ponderance of riches, its dotage and degeneracy. That talent
confers an inequality of a much higher order than rank, would

rank, biy no man has ever yet been able to return the compli-
ment, by thanking his rank for his talent. When Leonardo
d'a Vinci died, his Sovereign exclaimed, I can make a thou-
sand lords, but not one Leonardo. Cicero observed to a dege-
nerate Patrician, lam the first of my family, but you are the
last of yours." And since his time, those who value themselves
merely on their ancestry, have been compared to potatoes—all
that is good of them is under the ground ; perhaps it is but fair
that nubility should have descended to them, since they never
!to lid have raised themselves to it."

" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation
has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example
and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged
errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors; or
shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind,
with as much of iAs original purity as it is possible for human
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—.

Here was the Sovereign, with the appreciation of Leonardo
de Vinci, in the person of the linguist. What kindred feeling
have the " thousand lords," who value themselves merely on
their ancestry, shown ?—an apathy to exhibit " that all that is
goodsof them is under ground if' With what truth may the
distinguished proprietor of this Paper throw the galling taunt,
lam the first df my family—you are the last of yours." He
whose columns were the first to maintain the renown of his
Prince, and who now associate, with his requiems the utmost
endeavours to make a linguist's languor smile upon his bed of
death. The recollection of that noble panegyric, in a para-
graph of " bright intelligence" of Sheridan's, ennobles him.
" I give you a slavish and a sycophantic nobility, partial and
interested judges, a corrupt and venal House of Commons ;
yet, leave me the single
.lvantage of a free press, and amidst
all evils I will not despair
" It has been remarked, as a peculiarity in modern criti-
cism, that the courtly and loyal make a point of crying
up Mr. Young as an actor, and equally running down Mr.
Kean ; and it has been conjectured in consequence that Mr. Kean
was a Radical. Truly, he is not a radical politician; hut,
what is as bad, he is a radical actor, He savours too much of
the reality. He is not a meek-tragedian, an automaton
player—he is something besides his paraphernalia. He has
" that within him which passes show." There is not a par-
ticle of affinity between h im and the patrons of the court-
writers. Mr. Young, on the contrary, is every thing—all
assumption, and strut and measured pomp, full of self-import-
ance, void of truth and nature, the mask of the character he
takes, a pasteboard figure, a stiff piece of wax-work. He fills
the throne of tragedy, not like an upstart or usurper, but as a
matter of course, decked out in his plumes of feather and
robes of state, stuck into a posture, and reeeating certain words
by rote. Mr. Kean has a heart in his bosom, beating with
human passions (a thing for the great 'to fear, not to delight
in !') He is a living man, and not an artificial one. How
should tlo who look to the surface, and never probe deeper,
endure him ? He is the antithesis u, court actor. It is the
object there to suppress and varnish over the feelings, not to
give way to them. His overt manner must shock them, and
be thought a breach of all decorum. They are in dread of his
fiery humours, of coming near his Voltaic battery—they choose
rather to be roused gently from their self-complacent apathy
by the application of metallic tractors. They dare not trust
their delicate nerves within the estuary of the passions, but
would slumber out their torpid existence in a calm, a dead
sea, the air of which extinguishes life and motion."—On the

Of counsellors,' as Solomon has said,

Which is the only cause that we can guess,
For Britain's present wealth and happiness."

there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cute of
which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them-

selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have recourse
to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily ad-
vertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his
own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces-
sery medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now on
opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment
that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu-
liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ;
thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers
that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all
