Locker's English Anthology.

Lyra Elegantiarum. Edited by Frederick Locker.
One Vol. Pp. 360. Moxon and Co.
The daintiest little volume imaginable—all a-

blaze, even the very cover of it, with heraldic roses
and lilies—full of sweets and spices as one of those
delicious, old-fashioned jars of pot-pourri that one
so seldom meets with nowadays, and that seem to
have gone out with red-heeled shoes, sedan chairs,
and powdered perukes. As to the general design
of the book it cannot possibly be better dezcribecl
than in the very wording of the sub-title—Lyra

Degantiarron being described by Mr. Locker upon
his title-page as " A Collection of some of the Best
Specimens of Vers de Societe and Vers d'Occasion

,n the English Language, by Deceased Authors."
[t is worthy of note—almost as though it resulted
from a refined eccentricity or elegant affectation on

the part of the Compiler—that upon the :•ery title-
page of a Book so essentially and intensely English

• -•••
,n its character he should have felt constrained to

have recourse to Latin and French for the more

exact definition of his design in regard to its
contents. Lyra Eleyantiarum, as a title, we
can't help thinking that he might have bettered.

'ers de Sociite, however, and Vers d' Occasion are

almost as difficult to translate, with a due preserva-

ion of their full significance, as that purely Eng-

Lsh word "home," for which no other language,

ancient or modern, has an equivalent. And, speaking
of the former of these two kinds of poetical

effusion, the compiler takes occasion very cleverly

,u his Preface to remark that " The chief merit of
rers de sociele is that it should seem to be entirely

spontaneous; when the reader says to himself, ' I
could have written that, and easily too,' he pays the

poet the highest possible compliment. At the same
time, it is right to observe that this absenca of
effort, as recognised in most 'works of real merit, is

only apparent ; the writing of vers de socilte is a
difficult accomplishment, and no one has succeeded
in it without possessing a certain gift of irony,

which is not only a much rarer quality than
humour, or even wit, but is altogether less com-
monly met than is sometimes imagined." Subtle
irony we grant him—irony such as Sydney Smith
so wittily describes it, when comparing it to a sword-
stick—something seemingly harmless in itself, yet

*rom which there suddenly leaps forth another

something keen, deadly, and incisive—irony of that
highest kind of all, no doubt is rarer than the gene-
rality might conjecture ; and, though apparently
produced with facility, is in truth, as he hints, the
result of consummate skill in the application to
it of the rules of art, but above them all of the
ars celare artem. Otherwise, irony, in its ordi-
nary acceptation, blossoms as plentifully by the
wayside as the common stinging nettle, and
is almost as difficult of handling. Revert-

ing, however, from a momentary considera-
tion thus of merely one ingredient, but an
ingredient in its way absolutely requisite, as Mr.
Locker justly insists, for the fabrication of genuine
or veritable Vers de Socie'te'—reverting from the con-

sideration of this one ingredient in Vers de Societe,
to a consideration of Vers de Societe as a whole, we
cannot help feeling that, though the phrase itself
is a mere imported gallicism, the happiest Vers
Societe ever produced, one may find to have been pro-
duced by Englishmen ! As affording an attestation,
upon the instant, of the absolute truth of this, we
might content ourselves with the mention of the
name of Praed alone. That most charming writer
of Vers de Socie'te has produced specimens of it
that in their way are unsurpassable. But,

apart from Praed, the book itself now under
notice yields proof positive that English Litera-
ture, in regard to that most delicate and delightful
species of poetic composition, can " hold its own"
when brought into comparison with the masterpieces
of any other literature, even with those of the litera-
ture of France. Together with this school or class

of poetry, or of poetic composition, comes the
companion school or class mentioned also (as we
have seen) upon Mr. Lockers' title-page, the Vers
& Occasion, or Occasional Verses, as we call them.
Coupling these together, we have a wide raugo
enough opened to any compiler of taste and ju lguaent,
for the collecting together by him of very ample
stores indeed of miscellaneous verse of an emi-
nently beautiful character. Proof to actual de-
monstration of this, we have here before us in this
exquisite volumette. Perfect, or anything at all
. .

like perfect, as a collection, we cannot in reason,
of course, hold it to be. So extravagant a claim as
that upon the reader's approval, Mr. Locker him-
self for one would never dream of advancing.
In effect, the best collection of the kind that could
by possibility ever be produced, would be no more
than an approximation towards anything like per-

••••
'ection even in the collector's owu estimation. Look-

ing with the kindliest eyes upon the contents of the
Lyra Elegantiarum, for example, we cannot but con-
ceive that in the first issue of it the compiler had
given an extravagantly disproportionate number of
quotations from the late Walter Savage Landor.
Whereas from Lovelace he had taken only four—
from Landor he had taken as many as forty! And
the excellence of the vast majority of those forty we
could not, for our own part, in any way recognize.
Herrick, if you will, even in the very wildest of his
conceits, is delicious. But, Landor !—" Boeotian
Walter Savage Lander," as Byron called him—
wickedly finding, when he so designated him, a
presposterous rhyme for Landor's patronymic, when
describing him as one—
" Mistaking for a swan Bob Southey's gander."
But then —dreadful to acknowledge, no doubt—we
are no believers in Landor, in him or in any of his
works. Leaving, as he did, at the last a most un-
savoury reputation, he has received from the first, as
we conceive, on reading even these we presume
choicest specimens of his poetic capabilities, the most
exaggerated commendations from those who are be-
lievers in him—a small and very select coterie we
may conjecture. It was a mistake of judgment,
therefore, as it appears to us, on the part of Mr.
Locker swamping his pages with these watery out-
pourings taken from Walter Savage Landor's
poetical tributary to Helicon. From this to us
glaring blemish, however, the re-issue of the Lyra
Elegantiarum is since then cleared. And in the
volume itself, from its very outset, what lovely and
ample compensatory extracts, aro there not given
from other dead and gone poets of England ! From
Suckling, and Herrick, and Etherege, and Lovelace,
and Wither, and Vauburgh—to say nothing of the
more obviously inevitable names of the Dii Majores,
as they may be termed, of our English Parnassus.
Occasionally, as in Charles Lamb's case, for ex-
ample, we cannot but think that the selection made
by Mr. Locker has been very mistaken. Were we
to have restricted ourselves to one literary extract
from the Poems of Elia, we could have taken no
other for certain than " The Old Familiar Faces."
Instead of which we have here Charles Lamb's lines
"To Hester." If, once in a way, according to our
notion, however, Mr. Locker thus seems to us to have
made, as in this instance, an indifferent selection,
how often, on the other hand, have we not reason
to thank him for the exquisite good-taste
guiding his choice ! As when, for in-
stance, he gladdens our eyes and our heart with
Robert Brough's " Neighbour Nelly," with Thacke-
ray's " Mahogany Tree" and " Cane-Bottomed
Chair," with Father Front's " Bells of Shandon,"
and Peacock's Love and Age," each and all of
these precips morceaux, tidbits, lumps of ambrosia !
Now and then, as it rooms to us, wo stumble
across a false-reading—that (supposing we are
not here in error) it would be very advisable to
have corrected at the earliest opportunity before
the next edition can make its appearance. As au
instance of this, we would mention Sir William
Jones's bewitching epigram on a Newly Born Infant
—an epigram that, to our recollection of it, should
have read thus more correctly than as it appears
at page 130—
On parent's knees a naked, new-born child
Weeping there sat'st, whilst all around thee smiled,
So live that sinking to thy last long sleep,
Then thou may'st smile whilst all around thee weep.
Or again, as in the instance of Catherine Fan-
shawe's "Riddle on the Letter H," so long attributed
quite erroneously to Lord Byron (and in every
way worthy of Dyron)—the opening line of yrkich,

instead of being, as Mr. Locker renders it at page
272, should have been—
"'Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell."
Another peculiarity in regard to this charming col-
lection of verse we cannot but direct attention to, as
matter for serious regret—namely, that the Editor
has laid under contribution only Poets who have de-
parted, thereby depriving himself of the opportunity
of enhancing the value of his work by the addition
to it of poems of quite equal beauty in their way,
from the pens of writers still numbered among his
living contemporaries. Who would not have wel-
comed, for example, among the masterpieces hero
collected together by Frederick Locker in his Lyra
Elegantiarum, the Poet Laureate's " Tears, idle
tears," or, " He hears thy voice thro' rolling drums,"
or Lord Lytton's " Boatman"—(if that exquisite
apologue were not too long, that is to say, for
complete quotation ?) Eliza Cook's " Arm
Chair," again, and Monckton Milnes' " I Wan-
dered by the Brookside" would, in their turn,
have adorned these pages with advantage to
the book's value as a whole—and most certainly
without any detriment to its reputation as one
among our choicest gatherings together of the
flowers of English Poetry. It is in no carping, or
cavelling, or hypercritical spirit that we have taken
exception to this or that in Mr. Locker's volume--
for which, taking it as a whole, we feel, in truth, as
grateful as though he had placed in our hand a fresh-
gathered nosegay of flowers that can never die or
fade or wither away, flowers of poetry marvellously
endowed by the genius of the soil from which they
spring, with perennial freshness, breathing perpetual
fragrance, blooming with the colours, and glittering
with the dews of immortality.

The Glory and Shame of England. By C. Edwards
Lester. Two Vols. Bartram and Lester, New
York.
A quarter of a century agb the author of this
work, then a young man, newly married and well to
do in the world, was advised by his physicians to
recruit his health by a visit to England. Shortly
afterwards he published the results of his experi-
ences during that, to him, all-important expedition.
Happily for England, many of the melancholy facts
which he then recorded exist no longer, and it is no
kindly feeling towards the old country that has in-
duced the author to bring them forward at the pre-
sent day. Speaking of his first visit to England in
1840, he writes, " I was very young when I first
went to England. The first man I ever saw
in my life who was famishing with hunger, I saw
in London. The first female I ever looked on in
the streets, whose raiment could not cover her form,
was in London. The first structure raised by the
hand of man that overwhelmed me, was Westmin-
ster Abbey. The first prison that made me shud"
der as I gazed on it, was Newgate. The first
throne ever saw was the throne of the then yout
ful and still beloved Victoria. These things struck
me deeply ; 1 felt deeply ; I saw clearly." On the
one hand, the glory of England as revealed it, her
magnificence and power ; and, on the other
hand, the shame attached to the condition
of her poor and labouring classes,
were
forth in vivid colours by the pen of
set
the
young American observer. Turning over these
records (many of them, happily, of things that
were), the reader's heart is sickened by those details
of the labour of little children of three years old,
and half-naked females, in the coal mines, harnessed
like beasts of burden, dragging the loaded waggon
and crawling upon all-fours. Remembrances,
these, that will for ever endear the name of Lord
Ashley in the recollection of the philanthropist,
for through his agency, thanks be to God, these
abominations are at an end. Much yet remains to
be done in the male reformatory course, it is true ;
and, according to the motto, "fas est ab hoste doceri,
much may be learned from this American book.
Notwithstanding some of his early enthusiasm
for England, we can hardly regard this re-publica-
tion of Lester's as the work of a friend. la
fact, he almost tells us in plain words, that it is his
sense of the conduct of England towards America
in the recent war, that has induced him to rake LIP
this old " note-book," in which aro "all our faults
observed," and " learned and conned by rote," to
" cast into our teeth." Among some of the more
interesting reminiscences are the author's recollec-
tions of Thomas Campbell, and au account of his
first introduction to Charles Dickens, to whose
enlightened philanthropy he pays a genial tribute,
ranking him " high among the world's best Re-
formers."

Meeting of Lord Derby's Supporters.

A meeting of the supporters of the Earl of Derby
took place yesterday, at his lordship's official resi-
dence. Upwards of 260 members of Parliament
attended. Lord Derby explained at length the
principles of the new Reform Bill, and his proposals
were received with considerable enthusiasm.
We understand they embrace residential house-
hold franchise in boroughs, with personal paymel't
of rates and two years' residence.
The possession of property in the Funds or in a
Savings Bank, or of certain education al qualifications,
as proposed in Mr. Disraelrg sketch of his
will also give a vote. of
A double vote will be accorded to the payer
direct taxation, not limited to income tax, Avb°
possesses the residential qualification. the
Compound householders desiring to be put on
ooe
register, and pay their rates directly, may
do bill,

and secure their vote.
The county qualification will be a £l5 rating
fra
Thenchise.
disfranchisement of boroughs, that is to Eli
the withdrawal of one member, will commence wit
populations of 7,000.

Lord Brougham and Household 811

In reference to Lord Grey's recent letter 011
subject of household suffrage and the Reform nill
of 1832, Lord Brougham writes :—" What 1 r,eh.
ferred to about the household suffrage and
Reform Bill generally was my speech before the
formation of the Government in 1830. That 01)0°11
was for the purpose of explaining the bill of which
r-r
I had given notice at the Yorkshire electionb. chambers he
meeting was held at Lord Althorp's cham 12:
friends
the Albany, but I had required some of ou a
r
in the Lords to be present. I have as
distinct
recollection of what passed at that meeting as echo
had been yesterday, and of the persons "
were present. I have frequently referred to
the
approval of household suffrage in my letters
t°
Lords Denman and Radnor upon law amen
But of the meetings and what passed at them,
ag
well as of the persons present, there can be
11°
doubt whatever."

TWELVE O'CLOWC.

At the close of the week there is a little more
demand for discount accommodation, and the rates
continue firm. _ _

The specie :movement during the past week has
not been of a very extensive character. The im-
ports have amounted to about £84,450, including
£l,OOO from New York by the China, £3,300 by
the City of New York, and £16,800 by the Tri-
poli. The Salamander, from Melbourne, has
brought• £52,000 ; the Pera, from Alexandria,
£1,600 ; and about £9,750, principally in silver, has
been received from the Continent. The exports
have comprised £16,750 to Bombay by the Syria,
£7,500 to the Brazils by the Seine, and there have
been remittances to the Continent, chiefly in silver,
through private sources, estimated at £327,406, the
total amounting to £351,656.
At the bullion department of the Bank of England
yesterday the movements comprised an influx of
£55,000 in" bar gold, and a withdrawal of 400
sovereigns for Batavia.
It has been notified by the Merchant Shipping

affairs of the Atlantic and Great 'Western Railway,
has been promptly 'accepted by the other members
here. 'I his gentleman, who is a large bondholder,
being out of business, can devote the whole of his
time to the duties he has undertaken, and in August
last he went over the Atlantic and Great Western
and the Illinois Central Railroads in his own inte-
rest. He was nominated by the committee of the
Amsterdam Bourse, and the authority for his ap-
pointment was signed by all the principal firms in
that city.

the port there wero six furnaces and one refinery at
work. Since date of last advices a shipment of
82.13 tons of copper had been made.
