(No. LXVII.)

J tryrEtt on the fittest Style and Situation for the WEL-

Addressed to JOHN LESLIE Fosma, Esq. one. of tbe Com-
mittee of ;Managers. By JOHN WILSON CHOKER, Esq. F.ft.S.

A subscription haring been entered upon,
and
spirJedly supported in. Ireland, for the erection
oi a Motniment to
.perpetuate the honourable'
.felt .by his native country in the Duke of
I.ViAAINGtos ; Mr. CitottEa has addressed a Let-
ter .to the Committee of Management, ream-
wending that style of Testimonial, and site,
h be adduces many forcible reasons for
thinking.tlic best adapted to the object in view--;
the noblest ornament of their Metropolis, and the
grand and lasting expression of a People's ad-

lll:i'1ZIi)fl.

Before proceeding to notice Mr. CROKER'S spe-
cific ideas 'on this subject, we 'could dwell with
pleasure .-on the general natnre of such works as
that contemplated by Irish gratitude, and with .par-
ticular deli,glit upon one appropriated to that coun-
y. Woefully, often are our columns stained with
tie follies and the crimes in which Ireland is too
prolific ; and it yields us unfeigned joy to turn to
trig aspect of more grateful kind—ko glance at a
IYtt.LINGToN in all thehlaze of glory, and exclaim,
.1* Tie country which produced this Hero cannot
be debased !"—to analyse the feeling which 'ac-
tuates hisJellow-citizens on this occasion," acid
prOnounce that the " Nation which thus appreciates
what is gr-eat
_and sublime cannot be destitute of
I:enerosity aild greatness." Irideed it is ih'e essen-
tial property of monuments like these; not built
uP by lordly Vanity to flatter itself, nor elevated
by prostituted servility to lawless power, (which
are only mv.morials of shame and ignotnino; but
fontided on the impartial love of a people, and
springing • from the purest source of univer,
sal esteem is the essential property of such
monuments more to honour those whO erect, than
those;to whose fame:they are erected. It is not
the solid baSe, the polished shaft, and thelofty
capital of the stupendous-pillar it is not the fine
proportions, rue:rich ornaments, and the impos-
ing grandeur of the splendid arch ; it is not the
enduring pomp of architecture, nor the iverlastL.
ing record at sculpture which can confer gloyy on
WELLIN.G.roz,; be is the architect ofhis own
fame, the sculptor of his, own immortality. But
the aspiring column or The magnificent arch, the

denote to future generations that Ireland, far from
being'insensible to the merits of her noblest Son,
apprec;ated theirs fully, and rejoiced in identifying ,
her own character with his renown for ever.

To promote this laudable national undertaking,
by discussing, the best mode for carrying it into
execution, it is not extraordinary that Mr. Cao-
KER, himself, a Bard of Ireland; and fair candi-
date for distinguished remembrance in hei• annals,
sboold have become warmly interested. The
amor pidrim is a' certain inmate- m the Poet's bo-
som, and the Author of I;i4fiv'era. enjoyed a pre-
scrip:ire right to deliver his sentiments upon the

question under consideration, 'even had he, as an
Ir:,..hman, no title no offer his opinion on a point
NV hiCh SO .mat CH ally concerned WELLINGroN and
bis native land: But in both 'these qualities, as
well as in those of a person of education and taste,
the Letter of Mr. Caokea.,ought to possess much
influence, and we arc glad-to think that we can co-
incide with all the arguments he has advanced re-
specting the nature of the Monument re-

Bard to the site we are incompetent ti) form a
judgment from actual knoWledge of the relative.
situation of the several places mentioned, but may
say that there is every appearance of plausibility
in the theory maintained in the Letter befOre us.
We perfectly agree with Mr. CaOttga prefer-
ring the Columnar shape to that of the Triumphal
Arch, and.infinitely above the Colossus, whether
ped.c!rian or egnestriam. There is, Are think.;
one re, son which lie has not adverted to, or at
leait but slightly, and which is, nevertheless, a
strong inducement to this preference: An Arch,
to be pleasing to the eye and aleilinite to the ex-
talent of congenial emotions in the tuipd, re-
tinir6'to be surrounded in its immediate vicinity
with Buildings of an Order consistent with its
Sple.ndonr, and even corresponding, :n Some de-
gree, with its Architecture. A. Column is of n
ino-..eisolated genus it stands pc' se, • atilt is uri-
c otinected with the Building ar,ntnd. We can.
With-as much difficulty conceive an associated CO-
lamn'as a' •iletached Arch. A vast plain, a noble.
garden, •a grand square, any open•space with, re-
spectable houses in its view, offets a proper site
for the-erection of the former. The difficulties at-
tending the choice of a fit,situation for the lattet..
have been so tthly shewn by Mr. C., that we _shall
