LITERATURE.

CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY, No. 42.

This number, which contains the History of
the Rebellions in Scotland under the Viscount
of Dundee and the Earl of Mar, the former o!.
which took place in the year 1689, and the lat-
ter in 1715, will be read by all classes, and espe-
cially by Scotchmen, with great interest. Few
things, indeed, in modern history, exceed in ro-
mance, and variety of adventure, the rising of the
Highlanders under Dundee —the " bloody Cla-
ver'se"—as he was generally called by the Whig
Cameronians, from the period of his departure
from Edinburgh, after the arrival of King Wil-
liam in London, to that of his death in the Pass
of Killiecrankie, the last scene of his triumph as a
soldier and a Jacobite. its famous warrior,
of whom Sir W. Scott has made such interesting
mention in his " Old Mortality," resembled
Napoleon in many points ; first in his inflexible
resolution and unalterable fixedness of purpose ;
secondly, in his zealous love for mathematics,
and the! abstract sciences. Like him, too, he
was cold, and unused to sympathise with human
nature, And, like him,
,exercised an unbounded
authority over his adherents. The following
sketch of his character will convey a favourite.
idea of the way in which the present number is
written :

" Dundee was one of these individuals whose souls are
such an exquisite compound of lofty aspirations and
groundling common sense, that, for the very purpose of
elevating themselves out of the irksomely humble situation
in whielr they find themselves placed by fortune, they will
heartily grapple with, and perform with the most serene
punctuality, every duty connected with their place in so-
ciety, carrying through degradation and drudgery a spirit
which will eventually shine out, when the grand object is
obtained, with uninjured splendour. Minds of this order'
resemble the fairy-gifted tent in the Arabian Tales, which
was so small as to be carried in the pocket of the proprie-
tor during the day, but at night could be expanded to such
a width as to cover a whole army. The world, which is
too apt to judge of men with a mere reference to their
o igin and early history, is seldom liberal enough to sup-
pose, in the case of a man exalted above his native sphere,
that he may have all along, from the very first, possessed
a tident and a spirit which fitted him for high situations,
but generally accounts for his rise by either the vulgar
error of good fortune, or by suggesting that he was tempt-
ed forward, step by step, by prospects which gradually
opened before him. It is, however, abundantly evident
that such minds often exist, and that their rise is entirely
owing to the discretion with which they have managed
their powers. Their merit was from the very first equally
great, but only it was not prudent or possible, in their
earlier situations, to give it ostensible shape. To such an
order of minds—so great, yet so humble—so far reaching
in contemplation, yet so diligent in minute employment—
Dundee unquestionably belonged."

lIOOGEVEEN'S GREEK PARTICLES.
LONDON. 1529.

This is the republication—duly abridged, and
amended and translated—of a well-known work,
just now much wanted in its present form. It
is printed by Mr. Valpy, to whom the classical
world owe so many obligations for the vast im-
provements his industry has been the means of
carrying into execution in that department of
literature. Of the present little work we shall
merely state that it is one which no scholar
should be without, as it treats at a becoming
length, and with due critical exactness, on the
nature and properties of those puzzling points in
Greek literature—the particles.
