L. and E.

Extract from Edinburgh Review, No. 51.
-" This discourse is the mast splendid of Mr. Stewart's
Works; and 'places the Author at the bead of the elegant-
writers on philosophy in our language. Toe Discourse is, on
the whole, a coMposit ion' which no other writer of
prose has equalled. It is but justice.to say, that the prescot
Supplethent affordi a most promising Specimen of the kill
and core of the Editor; and that we haverm where seen any
collection of treaties, especially on scientific subjects,
contained in the saute compass nearly so much exactt-and
original information as the two parts which have lust
been published. .The EneyelOpedical Dictitinaries, which
have of late succeeded each other with extraordinary rapidity,
have, in more than sine instance, ShoWn strong tendencies to
improvement, though these' favoqrahle symptoms have no
where manifested themselves so clearly us in this Supplement.
A Work, indeed, which is to he supported in any itoutitilerahlv
degree by the cootributions of such men as Stewart, Mayfair,
Brantle,-Ivory, Thomson, Smith,• and Others of the
same rank in the sciences,--and its the literary Oepartment by
Scutt, Alison, Barrow, and more of t 7.. it stautfiuig, 'cannot
fail to possess extraordinary excelleuee."

distinguished in days-of yore,'oni Readers, ;will,
no doubt, be gi j,fietl, by sonic!: apeptott of it, par-.

if opportunity should offer, would most probahly
raise it to all its termer grandeur and cele-

" The castle of Prudhoe stands on the summit
of a steep promontory, which cotintinnteltes with
the'adjoining.grountli,by a'dArrow neck mid rei.s.s
towatds the south ; ttre ground on which the tor-
tre,s stands forming seven parts of a.eircle, on .itl
octagonal section. It is guarded bY an out weird
wall towaids the Tyne', built on the brink of the
cliffs, in this part not less than sixty yerpendicu-
hr feet in height, aboye the plain Which
venes between the Castle 'anti the ricer; this wall
at intervals is defended by square bastions.' -The
.entrance to the castle is front- the abut), : on op.
proaching, the whole structure,- when viewed, from
the heights, makes it, very noble and formidable
appearance. The narrow neck of laud leading to
the entrance was fornietly cut through by a -deep
ditch, over.which a draw-bridge hai.given at eesi.
to the outward gate : the water which am:it:oily
stipplied the ditch is now collected by it reservoir
before the gate, and serves • aAnill : 'the out ward
gate was originally defended by several outworks
and a tower, as appears by t! eir ruins_. The
perstructnre' of the' inner ghteway isa lofty eni.
battled sntiare tower, about sixty feet high, now
so mantled with ivy, that the windtiws, loop.
holes, and apertures, are_ohnost wholly courealed.
To the right the outward' Wall exti:hded to Some
distance, terminated by' a turret or exploratory
mount, the wall of which is enthattled,• and (bele
the lanseape is closed by u fine grove of stately
trees. The outward wall to the left, from 'he
,
inner witeway,
,extenuor to a considerable'dis-
tance, without. any turret or bastion : over which
several interior lthilifings, and among them the
remains of the eliapd, are discovered, in all tlic
confusion of ruin ; windows,
buttresses, columns, end walls; in that wildness of

irregularity which —constitutes much,pieturesque
beauty in scenes of this kind : above all which
objects, a square-tower, the keep of the fortress,
(twenty-five yards in height, and eighteen it)
breadth, but withour orthonent 'or windows, with
an'exploratory tower on the sooii,W4•B(.•corner)
over oaks the caitle, with that gloomy and
sullen majesty which characterises the awe in
which it hied ice rise. The Nall still extetoting

_ 'The first gateway is formed by a circular arch;
by the fragments and broken. walls it evitlqnly
pears this gate was originally flanked
.with various
outworks, and had 9 tower. 1 his gate gives ad.;
mittance .to a covered way, leading to the Meet
gate, about thirty paces io letigth ; a sally-port
openitsg on each side, to think the walk and de!
fend the ditch. There is no appearance of a limy,

also formed by a circular arch, above which is a
hi.,_th tower, ;the window* 'spewing that it col:

bastions.; and towards the SOtitti-441St, a sinsall
mount, placed within the walls, overlooki the
ditch, which guards the southern side, and termi-
nates at the brink of the cliffs. The large tower
is in ruins, only the southern wall now standing;,
and not one bastitio remains entire, they 'being
all iu ruins towards the area. 'A passage runs in:
