LITERATURE.

PARRIANA ; OR, ANECDOTES OF DR. PARR.

BY E. H. BARKER ANT) OTHERS.

The extracts which we gave yesterday from
this very diverting and original publication,
.must
have delighted our readers by their point, bril-
liancy, and• characteristic comprehensiveness.
Plain prose, it is clear, is unworthy of thein.
We have, therefore, after the fashion of Waicot's
" Bozzi and Piozzi," garnished them with the
seductive blandishments of poesy, intending there-
by to do more elaborate justice to their excel-
lence. Our version, we may add, is nearly, if
not quite, literal ; and, as from a lofty principle
of justice, we have studiously ascribed its author's
name to each biographical anecdote, we trust, in
a few days, to receive a flattering epistle from
every individual contributor to " Parriana,"
thanking us in the politest and most honied
terms for our attention to their intellectual merits.

REV. MR. STEWART.
The day before I fixed on going down
To Warwickshire, from Lincoln's-Inn in town,
I dined with an old friend, of much discerning,
Who called great Parr (oh heavens !) a lump of
learning.—P. 4.3.

One day, at Hatton, an Archbishop dined,
On whom the Doctor poured his mighty mind
Until his Grace, no more on eating bent,
Crossed knife and fork in mute astonishment. —P. 43.
One day we dined on a fat buck, and Parr
Was glad, as most men after dinner are;
0 Stewart," says he, " dy'e play the fool to-night ?"
". No, dearest Doctor Parr," said 1, " not quite."
0 I don't believe you, Stewart," then says he,
" For, first, you're of Milesian ancestry ;
" Next, you're a genius ; as for me, I hope
" With any fool in Christendom to cope."—P. 53.

A PUPIL OF DR. PARR.
One day, amid the school's tremendous din,
Just after dinner, Pan's man, John, brought in
A note, betwixt his finger and his thumb,
On which the Doctor shouted "Jemmy's come."—

P. 253.

Great Parr, if in the school he heard a noise,
Would summon to the block his rudest bays;
Then, with a good stout rod, that never fails,
He'd tickle all their melancholy tails.—P. 240.
The Doctor's portrait, though well etched and graphic,
Had one great blemish—it was too seraphic.—P. 355.
The Doctor much respected roasted mutton,
Cut near the shoulder—here he was a glutton ;
His favourite part was full of oily fat;
I've seen him bolt it like a Cheshire cat.—P. 356.
JOHN SYMMONS, ESQ., ABERMARLAIS, LLAN-

DOVERY, SOUTH WALES.
Great Dr. Parr detested stupid folks,
Woe to them all ! they writhed beneath his jokes;
But with great minds he toyed in friendly glee—
For instance, he was very fond of nte.—P. 516.
One day, as I was walking out alone, he
(Great Dr. Parr) passed quick upon a poney;
His dress was a large zebra-striped great coat,
Stripes brown and white, and buttoned to the throat.
P. 515.

There was a clergyman, stiff, starch, and shy,
Who loved, yet feared, great Dr. Parr ; for why ?
His clerical cheeks the Doctor forced to blush,
And mantle with a momentary flush.—P. 518.
One morn, at breakfast, Parr exclaimed, in tone

Abrupt, " you know not the Greck accents, John ;"
On which I swore I did, (being rather teazed,)
On which the Doctor looked exceeding pleased.—

P. 527.

We have given these few anecdotes from a
volume of biography, whose equal is only to be
met with in that imperishable publication, " The
Lord Mayor's Voyage of Discovery to Oxford,"
in order to show still better the nature and cha-
racter of Parriana ; as also how admirably its
contributors are adapted—by the brilliant import-
ance of their reminiscences—to illustrate the
character of Dr. Parr. Having done so, (and
we hope to their satisfaction,) we respectfully
take our leave.
