What was the public of that period ? That of
Syracuse was perhaps the only one truly Greek ;
and this is the reason, we imagine, why Theo-
critus seems so often to court its favour ; the only
genuine poet of the Alexandrian school, he.de-
lights in placing his poetic world in Sicily. Who
were then to be found at Alexandria, at Per-
gamus, and in the capital of the Seleucidx ?
Generals and soldiers rolling in wealth, courte-
zans treated like queens, and who even ascended
the throne, Greek adventurers of every descrip-
tion, native satraps and merchants speculating on
the material wants of all this society, upstarts
of yesterday, without talent or public spirit,
and debauched before they were polished.
With such a public and such protectors, is it
astonishing to see al! the versifiers of those days
employed in putting into hexameters treatises on
medicine, on astronomy, and on geography, or of
inventing poems in the shape of an egg, an axe,
or an altar ? There was, however, no want of
critics, professors, editors, writers of prefaces
and notes ; this race was as numerous at Alexan.

According to Perseus, it was the fashion. of the Court to
treat the ..Eneid as a composition badly arranged, written in a
diffuse style, without energy, and la rather art antipated
diction:—

It has recently been complained ,;of by the
Judges, that owing to the distance from each
Other of their seats in the two Courts at York
Castle, they have no convenience for conferring
on points of law. A proposal has, been made,
and, we believe, is partly under consideration,
for altering the whole interior. ofthehuilding.—
The Judges to be placed back to back, in the
centre of the present Hall, with only an inter-
vening closet for conference. The domes of the
present Courts .to be taken down., and those
Courts to be converted into two Halls, of ap-
proach to the new Courts. We believe this plan
was suggested by Mr. Justice BAYLEY ; and no
one can doubt it would be an improvement. It
is to be regretted, however, that the idea did not
occur before so much money had beep expended.
