LITERATURE. .

,
FOREIGN Rh: VIEW. No. V.

This is incomparably the best number we
have yet seen of the Foreign Review. Whether
we regard liveliness, learning, thought, argument ;
in each and all of these various departments of

intellect, it puts forth strong claims to our notice.
'The first article, which, from indisputable autho-
rity, we have ascertained to be by Dr. Southey—
an author as well versed in ancient and modern
Spanish and Portuguese history as auy one of the
present day—relates to the expulsion of the Mo-
riscoes from Spain ; a delightful subject, and one
abounding in all that is attractive, as well as in
all that is repulsive in human character. For
some years previous to the overthrow of the
Moorish Kings in Granada, the wars carried on
between them and the Spaniards were distin-
guished by an extraordinary spirit of chivalry,
alloyed with an occasional outbreaking of the
barbarian, more especially during the reign of
Pedro the Cruel, that gives them a paramount
interest over all preceding or subsequent records.
Acts of the most refined generosity, conceived, and
executed with a tempered elegance of mind and
manner, of which the present age can scarcely
form an idea, were perpetually going on between
the two opposing parties of Moor and Spaniard.
In these, however, it is lAA justice to the Mos-
lem to state, that he usually led the way,
as indeed he did in most of these splendid
public buildings, which for so many centuries
adorned Andalusia. The Spanish character
' gained inconceivably by its partial admixture
with the . Moorish ; the grave and somewhat
phlegmatic dignity of the one, was warmed into
generous activity by the ardent temperament of

the other ; and, indeed, the most valuable points
of the Spanish mind (if we except their comic
novelists) are almost wholly owing to their con-
nexion with the Moors of Granada. Of this
connexion, and its subsequent separation under
the memorable reign of Ferdinand and Isabella,
Dr. Southey has given us an animated, but
sketchy, detail. One defect however pervades
his sketch. He has too highly complimented
his reader's acquaintance with Spanish history.
He has taken for granted that he must be inti-
mate with all its details. Hence he has merely
hinted facts where he should have explained
them, and hence his analysis however satisfactory
to the few is, we fear, caviare to the many.
In selecting extracts, we can find none more
entertaining than the following, which in addi-
tion to its presenting a fine trait of character, is
a curious instance of what little Simmons used
to ern in Guy Maitnering," " the mutability
of human affairs."
In the flower of his age he was seized with a malady
which, though most unwilling to die, he at length per-
eeived must pi ove fatal. His great desire then was to se-
cure the succession for his eon ; and being certain that his
death was near (for God alone is eternal) be wrote a letter
in these words :—' Alcayde of Xalubania, my servant, im-
mediately upon receiving this letter from the hands of my
Arraiz Ahmad ben Xarae, put the Cid Jnzef my brother
to death, and send me his head by the bearer. Fail not
in this service !' Among Mahoramedan sovereigns this
has been a common preparation for death ; so easily is the
evil heart persuaded that it is allowable to prevent one
crime by committing another.
When the messenger arrived, the Cid Josef and the
Alcayde were seated upon a splendid carpet embroidered
with gold, leaning upon cushions of silk and gold, and
playing ehees. Upon reading the letter, the Aleayde
changed countenance ; ha had become attached to Lis
prisoner, and had not heart to communicate to him the
fatal order, which yet he dared noedisobey. The mes-
senger, who had no such compon.:tions visitings, urged
him to make no delay, and Juzef, perceiving his agitation,
said, ' What has the King commanded; is it my death?
hath he sent for my head ?' The Alcayde, in reply, put
the fatal letter into his hands. Give me a few hours,'
said the Prince, to take leave of my women, and dispose
of nay effects among them.' Here the Arraiz interposed,
and declared that this must not be; the hours for his re-

we think, to prove that h 3 must be at home
in scenes of death. " The Politics of Italy'
is a very superior article, emanating from a mind
fully alive to its subject, and one that does not
content itself with a mere recapitulation of in-
cidents. It is in fact rather a Magazine of opi-
nions than a detail of circumstances, and proves

its author to be a man of just, equable, and en-
larged powers of thinking. We give the follow-
ing comparison between Machiavelli and Mon-
L u
tesquien ; its truth will be at once appreciated :
" Upon a careful review of the two great writers,
whom we hare here attempted to delineate; and a cora-
parisou of the periods in which they lived, we shall pro-
bably be disposed, while we admit the high and peculiar
claims of Montesquieu, with much hesitation, to ascribe
the superiority in genius to Machiavelli. Whether we
form our judgment by comparing
.their intellectual powers
in the aggregate, or award the preference to any single
quality, there seems little room for difference of opinion.
The Frenchman can only claim the praise of an improver ;
the Italian may jastly assume the dignity of an inventor.
Equal to Montesvieu in acuteness and profundity, he
possesses, in the vigour and originality which created a
new species of philosophy, is claim to admiration, para-
mount to that of all his successors- Both these writers
excelled :in the lighter departments of literature; Montes-
quieu in satire ; Machiavelli in comedy; but here the
parallel ends ; the whole compass of French letters affirds
no rival to that pure model of historic composition which
reZ:ords the revolutions of Florence. There is nothing in
Davila or De Thou superior to the dissertations with which
eachrbook- is introduced. We doubt whether anything
equal to them• had exieed previous to the days of Mr.
Hume. - Fame, however, has dispensed her honours to this
extraordinary person with very unequal hand. Montes-
quieu, addressing an instructed age, drew an instantaneous
admiration from his contemporarieS, and found the mate-
rials of • his fame ready laid in every breast. Machiavelli,
the light of a barbarow: period, was first discovered in his
true magnitude by a distant generation ; when posterity re-
cognised his eminence, his name had lost its freshness, and
has come down to us sullied by the basest calumny.
" We cannot permit ourselves to conclude our reflections
on these eminent writers, without observing how sure,
though slow, are the rewards of truth. While the doc-
trines; which dazzled their contemporaries, have sunk, like
meteors, at the approach of day, the eternal truths, which
are at first but darkly seen, have not only, at every advance
of reason, unfolded their intrinsic lustre, but diffused on
their champions a renown, which lives in the history of
society, expands with the progress of the mind, and can
only perish in the sunset-darkness of civilization."
" Swedish Poetry" is a slight analysis of the

life and character of Kellgreen—one of the stars
of the North, the Aurora Borealis of Swedish
fancy—who was born in 1751, died in 1791,
and distinguished himself from the year 1778 up
to the moment of his death, by the ease and
variety of his writings. A translation is given of
one of his most ingenious satires ; but we con-
fess that we can see nothing superlative about it
but its length. Of the remaining articles on
" The Memoirs of Vidocq," and " Italian
Comedy," we have merely time to say that they
will both repay perusal ; and that the brief notices
of comparatively unimportant works, with which
the Review abounds, are drawn up with great
tact and powers of condensation.

turn being numbered. 'At least,' said Josef, ' let us
finish our game, which I shall end by losing it.' This
singular request was not objected to ; and the game was
pursued—the Arnie looking on, and waiting for the
Prince's head when it should be terminated—Josef himself,
with the fortitude of a Malimumedan, as collected, and ap-
parently u calm, as the looker on—the Aleayde confused
and miserable because of the dreadful tootnraand which was
laid upon him. In this state of mind, though the advan-
tage had been his when the messenger came in, he lost all
knowledge of the gam, and committed error after error,
which Jtmef always observed and warned hint of. And
while they were than engaged, two knights arrived, full
speed, inviting the Prince to take possession of the throne,
for his brother had expired. What must his feelings have
been when the whole chivalry of Granada, in the days of
its splendour, game out to meet him as he approached the
eity ; when he pealed under triumphal arches hastily
erected fur his entrance ; saw the houses hung with elothe
of silk and gold, the streets and squares strewn with flowers,
and heard the acclamations of welcome from a people who,
knowing the gentleness of his character, expected to live
in prosperity wader him ! It is scarcely possible that he
should not then have moralised upon the mutability of for-
tune ; and if that reflection crossed him, he may have
wished not unwisely that the second messenger had arrived
too late, for then he might have been in possession of a
crown which fadeth not away."

" Antiquity of Rhyme " is an ingenious and
plausible article, endeavouring to prove by one
or two apparently pertinent instances that rhyme
was familiar both to Greeks and Romans,•and
that it abounds in Latin literature, This last as-
sertion is more plausible than tenable. Ovid,
if we remember rightly, is the chief rhymester
among the Roman poets : his Pentameters fre-
quently consist of two balanced clauses, each of
which chimes in with the other's cadence. He
is particularly partial to the final 0, but is in no
respect to be held up as an adequate representa-
tive of Latin versification : though always full
and eloquent, he is frequently a loose, and oftener
a vicious ♦ersifyer. His rhymes, therefore, are
the defects not the characteristics of Latin poetry.
" Recent Discoveries in Vegetable Physiology"
looks learned and may be interesting ; but as our
own practical acquaintance with this subject,
begins with a potatoe and ends with a cabbage,
we may, perhaps, be excused, if we refrain from
hazarding an opinion on it. "German Playwrights,"
is a light and rather humorous Essay on the
merits of three noted German Dramatists, Grill-
parser, Dr. Klingemann, and Dr. Milliner. Of
these, the superiority is assigned to Grillparser,
who, however, is characterized as insipid and
trite, both in expression and incident. Dr.
Klingemann is zated as bombastic and meior
dramatic, full of sound and fury, hard words,
murders, suicides, Bcc.'; in short, the Monk Lewis
of Germany, a writer dealing in the material, not
the spiritual creations of the fancy, and conceiv-
ing that it is quite as meritorious to describe the
rattling bones of a ghost, as to give him suitable
language and sentiment. Of Milliner little mole
is said than that he is a Doctor—quite enough,
