THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1861.

THE MAGAZINES.

the scene between Harry North and his friend and
intended brother-in-law, Sir Lionel Atherton, is very
affecting. Sad are the trials that befall those
nearest and dearest in separation, disunion and
discontent; overwhelming the casualties that
fall upon happy homes and cheerful hearths
by civil war, and no tale can hardly
be too terrible to be true that refers to the
troublous times of the Commonwealth. " Thernam
Antiqum Rediviv2e" is a very curious sketch of
the thermal and vapoury baths of the ancients,
revived. It may amuse some and instruct others
in its elaborate details and particular illustrations.
A most interesting article is that on Hunyadi.
It is eloquently writen, and furnishes important
details to dwell upon, while it concerns the life and
actions of one who belongs to the noble band of
patriots who are as gems set in history to illumine
the darkness and redeem the meanness of its cha-
racters. They are, in the words of Macaulay,
" immortal with the immortality of truth." It is
here said that "Hunyadi may be considered as the
incarnation of all the principles and aspirations of
Hungary," lie is the ideal type and symbol of his
nation. The German historians have not done
justice to Hungary and her great men, and it is said
" the authors of general histories have been very
neglectful of this grand mediaeval figure. They
mention him briefly on one or two great occasions,
whilst in his fatherland Hunyadi is the object of
the most splendid national legends. He is the
great militant Christian of the fifteenth century,
something between a saint and a hero—much of
both." This essay is by Professor de Vericour,
who has before written papers of this sort,
and it is remarkably well done, in a spirit
worthy of its subject, and animated by a
right appreciation of so renowned a hero.
The following oxtract is an evidence of the style :

Blackwood.

There is more than the average share of
attraction in this month's number, and Maya
seems inclined to begin the new year in an
auspicious manner. The remarks on the "Purist's
Prayer-book" are worthy of attention, and
the strictures passed seem just, when the ex-
triordinary nature of the contemplated change
is considered. It is truly observed that, to
alter the present arrangement of the Prayer-book,
as regards the words, is not even necessary to effect
the purpose of shortening the service ; and all who
possess any regard for really impressive language
will be slow to agree in the plan proposed by the
remodellers, of substituting different phrases for
some of the most effective passages in the prayers.
These alterations do not even answer the proposed
end of making the prayers suitable to common
understandings. " Can any one but themselves
imagine that it is any improvement to substitute
wandered' for ' erred and strayed,' or that
the leadings of our own wills' is more
intelligible or more impressive than ' the
devices and desires of our own hearts;'"
and it is surely easier to teach the little one that he
has been made the " child of God, than that he
was dedicated to His service at the baptismal
font." It is mentioned, as an obvious inconsis-
tency, that while such substitutions are made as
"many" for "manifold," and "truth" for "troth,"
the words " let" and " prevent" in the collects,
which would afford an infinitely more reasonable
excuse for alteration, are suffered to pass without
notice. Again, in the marriage service, whose
quaint old formulas have a pathetic depth and
earnestness which might have pleaded their
cause, one would have hoped, with the sourest
old maid that ever set up for a ritual re-
former, " for better for worse, for richer, for
poorer, in sickness and in health till death us
do part," will it be believed that these revi-
sionists, as the arbiters of public taste,
dismiss this time-honoured vow as a barbarism,
and recommend instead, to save breath we suppose,
that "A" should take "B" to be his true and
lawful wife." Still more to be reprehended is the
idea of making alterations to render portions of the
service of a less servile character. Surely
humility is the foundation of all devotion ; his the
" Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native
air," and the worship of the creature to the Creator,
once divested of homage and adoration, becomes,
indeed, as sounding brass or as a tinkling cymbal.
The idea of prayex is beautifully expressed in Mont-
gomery's lines :

" The deliverance of Belgrade had thrown the Hunga-
rian nation into delirious rejoicings. Soon after, the news
followed that Hunyadi was dead. A mournful despair,
dark forebodings for the future, succeeded to the exulta-
tions of an unexpected' and splendid victory. The people
had lost their protector—the Secondary Magyar nubility
their intrepid commander. The whole country was in
tears. De Cilley alone could not wholly conceal his ex-
treme joy ; he conceived that now the kingdom of Hungary
would be a prey to his cupidity. The King had the good
taste to manifest a real or feigned sorrow. He confirmed
Hunyadi's son, Ladislas, in all the dignities of his father,
and publicly expressed his gratitude for the great com-
mander who had saved Hungary and preserved his crown.
Christendom deplored the loss of the man, who, although
so often abandoned by all, had worn out his life in the
service of his country. The Pontiff ordered at Rome a
solemn service in honour of the Magyar hero, and conferred
upon him the title of ' Defender of the Christian Faith.'
Mohammed 11., on hearing of the death of his great enemy,
fell into a long, silent, brooding gloom ; and afterwards,
with tears in his eyes, exclaimed that, in his age, no prince
ever had such a subject. Nothing, therefore, was wanting
to the glory of Hunyadi : neither the tears of the people,
the enthusiastic admiration of those who had fought under
his banner, nor the honourable testimony of the enemy he
had vanquished.

" Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear ;
Ths upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice,

" In his private life he was modest, generous, extremely
charitable, and tenderly attached to his family, and of a
constant purity in his manners. His private virtues have
even been acknowledged by the two hostile chroniclers,
from whom have been derived all the attacks on his public
life, but their hostility has succumbed ignominiously under
the grave and impartial researches of history. The life of
Hunyadi is, at this day, as it will ever be in the land of the
Magyars, a holy legend—a model of genius, heroism, self-
denial, and probity—a principle of vitality and regeneration
in the Hungarian people.
"The calumnies of Do Cilley and a few dastard nobles
pursued the hero after his death. They again took posses-
sion of the weak mind of the King ; they led him to acts of
the grossest ingratitude and cruelty. Ladislag, Hunyadi's
eldest son, who was in possession of his father's d gnities,
found himself accused of an imaginary plot, submitted to a
mock trial, and was one evening murdered by the headsman
of the King, in an obscure corner of Buda, the King him
self sitting by a window to witness his death. Subse-
quently (March, 1457), a formal decree was framed and
published, by the same Prince and his council, destined to
demonstrate the reality of all the calumnies accumulated on
the father and the son, and written in the coarsest lan.
guage. This royal document received a most effective
refutation. The Hungarian nation, palpitating with hatred,
flew to arms. The wretched royal calumniator fled to
Vienna, then to Prague, where he died miserably, four
months after the murder of Hunyadi's eldest son. A.
National Diet was assembled under the walls of
Pesth, for the election of a new sovereign; and
in the midst of the enthusiastic delirious accla-
mations of the patriots, people, and nobility, Mathias
Corvinus, a boy fifteen years of age, the second and
worthy son of the saviour of Hungary, was proclaimed
King on the 24th January, 1456. The hero Hunyadi thus
received, in death, an eternal crown of gratitude, unpa-
ralleled in history."
There is a second part of the " Knights of Malta/
It contains some passages which attract the atten-
tion in the record of that order. The description of
Rhodes is very pleasing: "An island famous in song
and story; poets, philosophers, historians, and
jurists, have combined to recount its glories and to
sing its praise from the epic scroll of Homer to the
enamelled lines of Horace, the name of Rhodes
gleams upon many a poetic page." " Manchester,
its Social Aspect," is the theme of some remarks,
and in the beginning it says that, as the life of
every great man affords a remarkable illustration
of some emphatic truth, so it seems equally to hold
that the character of every great city is the illus-
tration of some peculiar principle. This is in ac-
cordance with the passage in " Coningsby," which
says that a great city whose image dwells in the
. is th. ( RAMP arcnt iapn. 4:ntl
referring tonltall ne town now before us, observes that
" What art was to the ancient world, science is to
the modern its distinctive faculty. Instead of the
city of the Violet Crown, a Lancashire village has
expanded into a mighty region of warehouses and
factories, but, rightly considered, Manchester is as
great a human exploit as Athens." There arc vari-
ous points of interest in this sketch of the great
commercial city. Among other articles worthy of
notice may be mentioned " Notes on New Books."

And say, 'behold, he prays-."
Those who wish to see the service shortened will
be the last to agree to its solemn sentences being
transformed to everyday jargon, to suit uncultivated
minds, who very likely will understand neither
form ; and this attempt, however well meant, is
certain to prove a decided failure. " Uncivilised
Man" is a sketch that gives a good deal of general
information. It is said that difficult as it may be
to define civilisation, it bears somewhat the same
relation to the condition of barbarism as science to
ordinary knowledge. The peculiar characteristics of
the Indians are here described in a very interesting
manner. "Norman Sinclair" is continued, and this
instalment is very entertaining ; the Clever Man
finishes his story and fully carries out the descrip-
tion of a genius in the Lady of Lyons," as one
who knows everything arid can do nothing.
" Horror : a True Tale," is very cleverly written,
but so horrible that it is really undesirable to
peruse it, and on some nervous or morbid persons
it might produce an unfavourable effect. There is
a paper on English Embassies to China which
treats of a question uppermost in many minds just
now. The article entitled "The Political Year"
is a very good one, and many of its prophecies will
doubtless be fulfilled when the ensuing session has
witnessed a few more of Mr. Gladstone's mar-
vellous and miraculous budgets. It truly states
that in home affairs there is but one very pressing
subject of thought, the state of our finances. As
one may suppose, Mr. Gladstone does not figure
very favourably in the criticism of our monetary
affairs, but those who are not of the politics of this
magazine, when they remember their heavy
income-tax, and behold their starving countrymen
who are ruined to please French artisans, may
subscribe to the truth of these strictures, "We
have a Finance Minister the most reckless
and the most dangerous that we have ever known,
uncertain, headstrong, blundering, contradictory,
utterly unreliable, we cannot help wondering how

worse, we cannot be much worse than we were
before. " Well might Lord Derby say that this
is not statemanship but the scheming of an impro-
vident gambler who is ready to throw double or

well as forcibly put; for let anyone possessed of
a general knowledge of Parliamentary affairs

imaginable financial folly—such folly as we hope never to
see repeated in this country,
