LITERATURE.

NEW EDINBURGII RE VIE IV, No. 11.
Hayward and Adam, London, 1844.
There are several interesting articles in this Num-
ber, and among them may be mentioned the " Auto-
biography of a Living Writer," in which the auto-
biographer gives some affecting reminiscences of a
Dissenting minister, named %Vhitehead—a gentleman
who had passed through the greater portion of his life
beloved and respected by all who knew him, until in
an evil hour, in the autumn of his days, the devil—
who, as.we arc told, is always prowling about seeking
whom he may devour--placed temptation before him
in the shape of a seductive young girl whom he had
been selected to instruct in the great truths of religion
and morality. Unfortunately, Mr. Whitehead could
not resist this temptation, so he sinned and fell, and
the consequence was that he was ever after shunned
by his neighbours, and died a victim to remorse and
a keen sense of humiliation. The autobiographer
calls him a " fallen angel," but Dissenting ministers
—so far as we have been able to perceive—have little
of the cherubic essence about them. In the brief
sketch of " Louis Philippe," the writer states that
" he belongs to the class of Earl Grey and Lord
Lansdowne." Surely this is a very hasty and inac-
curate statement! The French King is notorious for
his political tergiversations, whereas Earl Grey is
celebrated for nothing so much as his undeviating po-
litical consistency, which resisted for full forty years
all the temptations of office, and maintained an almost
Spartan inflexibility of principle. " Social Doctors"
compares the views of the Political Economists with
those advocated by the party styled " Young Eng-
land." The article is tolerably impartial in its esti-
mate of the comparative merits and influence of these
two sects, and thus expresses on the subject of the
latter's deserts :

" For the spirit of Young England we have a lively
sympathy ; it is genial, youthful, joyous ; it is our own
spirit, but more romantic and historical. Mr. D'lsraelt,
who appears to be the head of the new college, is a
clever—perhaps maturing into an able man ; ambitious
—we take it—and upward-looking ; humbling himself
to be exalted ; of too large dimensions—though the fail-
ing is too common to be noticeable—in his own esti-
mate ; and who will finally settle down somewhat be-
neath the highest peak. The same miniature represen-
tation may pass for the Hon. G. S. Smythe and Lord
John Manners ; abating a little of the strength of the
deeper tints, and infusing more sweetness, fancy, and
genuineness into the colouring. However we like the
trio well—feel grateful to them ; they are doing a work
long heeded by rousing the torpid benevolence, social
fellowships, and generous sympathies of England. They
have got hearts, which can never be safely predicated of
a thorough Benthamite or political economist, and thus
supply an essential element in the national elixir. Next
we welcome them most cordially for repudiating old
political parties, exclaiming with Dr. Hook, the vicar,
Away with party to the winds—away with any go-
vernment that shall be so debased, so lost to the princi-
ples of humanity and religion, as to say that they will
oppress the million that the few may grow rich on their
oppression !' Not that parties may not be sometimes
needful ; Young England itself is a party; nothing great
was ever done without leagues, unions, or associations ;
but that which is disclaimed are the worn-out confede-
rations that have ceased to be banded upon any intelligi-
ble principle, or for any national object. Holland House
is doomed, and with it rest the thrice-told tales of the
great Lord Chatham,' Pitt, Fox, Burke, and Sheridan—
able men, good men, perhaps, some of them ; but their
faded glories and aristocratic feuds are inapplicable to
our time, which cannot be served by rhetoric only, the
glitter of eloquence, gorgeous abstractions, philanthropic
maxims never meant to be practical, or aught, save po-
pular traps, for oligarchic supremacy. The difficulties
that beset us are home questions, neither constitutional,
forensic, nor collegiate, but the sudden efflux and conflict
of material interests ; and the first step to the reconcile-
ment of these perplexities is to apply a little galvanism,
as Young England is doing, to the sectarian and icy cal-
culus which has frozen the genial springs of social life,
and benumbed, with its opiate influence, the soul of the
community."

THE ATTACHE. 2 Vols. Bentley, London, 1844.
" Ecce iterurn Crispinus !" We have here our old
friend Sam Slick, the Yankee Clockmaker, again,
throwing out his drolleries, conceits, witticisms, and
shrewd, sententious aphorisms, with a careless profu-
sion that would almost-induce one to believe that his
resources were inexhaustible. He is now arrived in
England, in the quality of Attache to the American
Embassy, and being a keen and caustic observer of
men and things, gives his impressions of English
society, prejudices, tastes, habits, &c., in a spirit that
is more to be commended for its homely, truthful
plain-speaking, than for its complimentary character.
The present volumes, which, it seems, are the last of
the series, though hardly equal in freshness and ori-
ginality to their predecessors, are yet well worth the
reader's perusal—more especially if he happen to be
of a worldly, satirical, practical turn of mind, for
their views of human life are marked by uncommon
sagacity, and here and there we meet with a philo-
sophical reflection, referring to the bustling every-
day world about us—for Sam Slick seldom or never
deals in metaphysical abstractions—worthy of old
Johnson, when in one of his happiest conversational
moods. But the Clockmaker is not only a sayer of
smart things, but he possesses, in addition, descriptive
faculties of no ordinary character, and s given us
sketches of humble, provincial life in the Canadas,
that in their truth and force of detail remind us of
those masterly ones which abound in the late Mr.
J-ohn Galt's novel of " Laurie Todd." We quote
some pertinent reflections which Mr. Halliburton has
put into the mouth of his hero, the Clockmaker, while
attending the funeral of Thomas Campbell in West-
minster Abbey :
Ah, poor Campbell ! he was a poet, a good poet, a
beautiful poet ! He knowed all about the world of ima-
gination, and the realms of fancy ; but he didn't know
nothin' at all about this world of our'n, or of the realm
of England, or he never would have talked of the
Pleasures of Hope' for an author. Lord bless you 1 let
a dancin' gal come to the opera, jump six foot high,
light on one toe, hold up the other so high you can see
her stays a'most, and then spin round like a daddy-long
legs that's got one foot caught in a taller candle, and go
s pinnin' round arter that fashion for ten minits, it will
touch Peel's heart in a giffy. This spinnin' jinny will be
honoured by the highest folks in the land, have diamond
rings, goold snuff-boxes, and pusses of money given her,
and gracious knows what.
" Let Gineral Tom Thumb come to London that's two
foot nothin', and the Kentucky boy that's eight foot
somethin', and see how they will be patronised, and what
a sight of honor they will have. Let Van Amburgh come
with his lion make him open his jaws, and then put his
head down his throat and pull it out, and say, What a
brave boy am I 1' and kings and queens, and princes and
nobles will come and see him, and see his lion feed too.
Did any on 'em ever come to see Campbell feed ? he was
a great lion this many a long day. Oh, dear he didn't
know nothin', that's a fact ; he thought himself a cut
above them folks : it jist showed how much he know'd.
Fine sentiments ! Lord, who cares for them !
"Do you go to Nova Scotia now, and begin at Cape
Sable, and travel all down to Cape Canso—the whole
length of the province, pick out the two best lines from
his Hope,' and ask every feller you meet, Did you
ever hear these ?' and how many will you find that has
seen 'em, or heerd tell of 'em ? Why a few gals that's
sentimental, and a few boys that's a-courtin', spooney-
like, that's all.
" But ax 'em this, Master, if that house cost five
hundred dollars, and a barrel of nails five dollars, what
would a good sizeable pig come to ?—do you give it up?'
Well, he'd come to a bushel of corn. Every man,
woman, and child, would tell you they heerd the clown
say that to the circus, and that they mind they larfed
ready to kill themselves. Grinnin' pays better nor
rhymin', and ticklin' the ribs with fingers pleases folks
more, and makes 'em larf more, than ticklin their ears
with varses—that's a fact."

THE STAR OF ATTEGHEL
Moxon, London, 1844.
The preface to this little volume of poems informs
us that it is the production of a young. Irish lady,
named Brown, who composed it under circumstances
of great discouragement, having been blind almost
from her youth, and consequently having acquired
knowledge with infinite difficulty, and only by the
kind agency of others, who read to her works of
history and poetry, and prose fiction, which seem
to have made an indelible impression on her mind.
From her own brief, modest account of her early
struggles and aspirings, we should judge Miss Brown
to be endowed with superior energy of character, and
to be stimulated to renewed exertions by obstacles,
rather than to be depressed by them. Alluding to
this subject, the Editor of the present volume, who
has introduced the Authoress's memoir into his pre-
face, justly remarks—" The energy displayed from
her childhood by this almost friendless girl, raises at
once the interest and the character of her muse. There is
something touching—and teaching, too—in the picture
of that perseverance which has conquered for itself
an inner world of thought in lieu of that outer world
so early withdrawn from the sense. The bard gathers
dignity from the darkness amid which she sings, as
the darkness itself is lightened by the song. There
are lessons to be drawn from both, and the Editor
believes that this little volume has a variety of titles
which should promise it A sure and extended popu-
