(31'.-t; ''VE. By Ayers Sir ydand.
I% hile M s atx- kkland is one o the mod indefa-
tigableshe is certainly one of the
of historic writers,
1. est fortanve. After Mr. Carlyle, she is, to our t:.inli-
ing, the most fortunate. Facilities are af/orde.:•:::,r, un-
I doubtedly, fbr rummaging among old manuscripts, or
as Captain Cuttlo might term it, "overhauling the
I black letter ;" but those facilities are by no means coin-
, parable to the opportunities of a like kind which have
presented themselves to sundry of her contemporaries.
M. Adolphe Thiers, for example, in-the ,composition
of his .Histoire du_Consiaat .et de rEnfpire,Thas been
in a situation only to be illustrated by that of Sinbad
in the Valley of Diamonds.. He has walked amongst
heaps and ,vaztes of precious things, selecting at his
leisure and at his option treasures never before
placed within reach of a man like unto himself.
Sir Henry Ellis, again, has hid all the world of an-
tique papers before him where to choose. Mrs. Thom-
son, by enkindling a Jacobite enthusiasm among the
descendants of those who, during.a century of perils,
remained ' loyal to the fallen dynasty of the
Stuarts, has received from the northern fast-
nesses of Caledonia manuscripts that might other-
wise have fallen into oblivion and perished irre-
trievably. Mr. Payne Collier, with an extraordinary
perseverance and an undiminishable enthusiasm, has
been enabled to track anecdotes to their original but

Campbell, again, has been happily
guided in his legal
researches, Merle D'Aubigne in hrs theologico-criti-
cal investigations, and Augustin Thierry in his purely
historical reveries. But beyond all of them in suc-
cessful discoveries, with the solitary exception, as we
have said before, of Mr. Carlyle, is Miss Agnes
Strickland. " The treasures of antiquity laid up,"
she says with Beaumont, " in old • historic rolls I
opened;" and she has certainly opened them to some
purpose. We would by no means be understood to de-
preciate the revelations made by Lord Campbell in his
biographies of the Chancellors, by Thierry, in his
Anglo-Norman narrative, by Payne Collier in his
dramatic commentaries, by Sir Henry Ellis in his

We 4ac°...lrnj:wuljednsgeun' that bkY
Mei
the majority of those instances the - histories
of her contemporaries are' of immeasurably
greater importance than these "Lives of the Female
Sovereigns of England," by the graceful and fluent
pen of Miss Agnes Strickland. But we would dis-
tinctly aver our opinion, that the number and sin-
gularity of the disclosures contained in these last-
mentioned volumes, the odd and startling insights they
afford one into the palaces of our bygone monarchs,
entitle us to designate the authoress as the most
fortunate bookworm now liv:ng after Thomas Carlyle.
The tenth volume, recently issued, is before ua,
awaiting our consideration. It is not inferior to
any of its predecessors, if due allowance be made
for the proportionate interest attached to the
different Queens regnant and Queens Consort.
The melancholy career of the long.suffering
Mary Beatrice of Modena, the wife of James 11.,
is here brought to a conclusion, occupying two-
thirds of the entire volume, and recounting the
events and sorrows which broke the monotony
of the exiled lady during her residence at
Versailles, at Paris, and at the most favourite
of her French habitations—the Convent of Chaillot.
The generosity of Louis XIV. to his cousins of Eng-
land is scarcely depicted in the most amiable light,
seeing that it sprang directly from mingled
sentiments of expediency and ostentation. Never-
theless, we are fain to regard, in the
most charitable manner, this incident in the
otherwise irredeemably selfish reign of the Grand
Monarque. Although Mary Beatrice was not maligned
as a woman of profligate character, as was the noble-
minded, unfortunate, and virtuous Marie Antoinette,
she was libelled as a person of singular duplicity, and
as an odious adept in the mysteries of state intrigue.
.That such assertions are most erroneous the closing
chapters of her memoir by Miss Strickland testify.
An amiable, patient, accomplished, gentle, unrepining
being is Mary Beatrice of Modena, as depicted to us
in this biography. Exactly the reverse is the heart-
less and unnatural woman,'.wbo, as Princess of
Orange, and afterwards • ai - Mary the Second,
presents so despicable a spectacte-to the imagination.
It is scarcely possible for any one connected with
" Historic Fancies" to think of the daughter of the
luckless James 11. without calling to mind the moment
When England's Gonerd thrilled to hear
The shouts that triumphed o'er her crownless Lear."
Miss Strickland seems to have become the historian
of this graceless Princess rather with abhorrence.
The series, however, would have been incomplete
without a record of her existence and vicissitudes.
Therefore, and therefore alone, is that dismal under-
tone in a great outburst of harmonies individualized.
To think, too, that the melodious lute of Waller—he
who had sung in verse "mellifluously bland" the
graces of Sacharrissa—should have been tuned in ce-
lebration of the marriage of the unfilial Mary I
Listen to the courtly sycophancy of his stilted epi-
thalamium
:
"As once the lion honey gave
Out of the strong such sweetness came,
A royal hero no less brave
Produced this sweet—this lovely dame.

" To her the prince that did-dpOse
Gaul's m►ghty armies in thee field,
And Holland from prevailing:foes
Could so well free—himsejf does yield.
" Not Belgia's fleets (his high command)
Which triumph where the bun does rise,
Nor all the force he leads by land,
Could guard him from her conquering eyes.

" Orange with youth experience has,
In action young', in council old,
Orange is what Augustus was—
Brave, wary, provident and bold.
" On that fair tree which bears his name,
Blossoms and fruit at once are found;
In him we all admire the same,
His flowery youth with wisdom crowned.
" Thrice happy pair! so near allied
In royal blood and virfue too,
Now love has you together tied,
May none the triple knot undo."
Turning from the consideration of this most unbe-
witching Princess to her more heroic husband, we
transcribe two striking but
,contrary instances of his
prowess.
" Great personal courage was certainly possessed by
William of Orange, and personal courage, before the
Moloch c.liturtea gradually blended into the sweeter
sway of Alarnm,in, was considered tantamount to all
other virtues. In one of the blo. dy drawn battles, after
the furious strife had cornthenced between Louis XIV.

The
present volume conducts the reader to the
time when the Princess of Orange was approaching
London from Holland.
." NotwithStanding his
deep enmity to James II.," says Miss Strickland,
" the Pope was duly burnt in effigy ; he was provided
with a companion, the fugitive father Petre ; these
were accompanied by the representation of the rival
of the Princess of Orange in the succession to the
British throne, even the image of her poooittle infant
brother:' A worthy tribute to the uhsisterly callous-
ness of a depraved daughter! Queen Ahne's reign
will afford a noble opportunity for the continuation of
Miss Strickland's able and elegant narrative.

We, however, soon came up with her, and

When we went to St. Übts the other day it was expected
the fort would have opened fire upon us ; we got eleven
of our guns on one side, six of the 68-pOunders and five
of the long 56-pounders, and nothing could have with-
stood us ; we would soon, if necessary, have knocked
the fort to atoms. When coming out we put her under
sail alone for about twelvelhours, and in the squalls we
went eleven knots au hour, wheels disconnected. We
