LITERATURE.

THE FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
worm, WIIIITZ, AND RZCVIVII.

The ninth number of this valuable work, now before
the public, contains a review of the Memoirs of M. de Bourienne,
Minister of State under Napoleon In the times of the Directory,
the Consulate, the Empire, and the Restoration—a position which
eminently qualified him to become the corrector and verifier of the
various stories respecting kis Master.—The neat paper is a ed.
tlque upon Wedge* a Tragedy, In eve Acts, represented at the
Maitre Fraltfaise.—To this succeeds as article on the present state
of Spain. followed by one on Greek resnantes. A stricture upon
the polity and commerce of the great nations of nativity follows.
The next subject is the Dialects and ;literature of Southern Italy.
Then comes Pacuo's Travels in 61111lieriC3 sod Cyrenaic& The
subsequent ankles relate to early Ramo Metory—the state of
Belgium and Holland. —the Analytical Theory of the System of
the World by M. O. De Posrroomane--the History of the Floe

Arts,grounded upon a critical description of the works of Baron
Dmos—the Greek Revolution, and various Miscellaneous Literary
Notices—the whole occupying 356 closely printed folio pages. This
brief recital shows the great variety of matter in this volume, em-
bracing all the foreign works which relate to these several subjects,
published within the last few years—the whole presenting a mass of
learning, civil and political, collected from t►e best authorities
extant, and calculated at once for rational pleasure and instruction.
I There is not in this variety a single paper that we could not dwell
upon with satisfaction and extract from with advantage did our limits
permit us to Indulge oereelves. Some few, however, demand parti-
cular notice. The Review of the Analytical Theory of the System of
the World, by Postmortem; contains& vast deal of information at
once novel and curious, respecting the recent progress of Physical
Astronomy, in which we are sorry to and England placed so far
behind her neighbours, on a ground which the immortal NIWTOW
bad made peculiarly her own. The inferiority to which we allude
is pointed out in the following passage:—" We have no fear that
the mathematical science of this country is in danger of retrograding
or falling into decay ; but it is to be deplored that our public in-
stitutions provide so iU for the effectual instruction in the
abstract sciences of those through whom theoretical knowledge
can be turned to the greatest practical account, and rendered most
productive's( advantage to the country. The higher branches of
the mathematics are taught nowhere excepting at Cambridge ; but
our engineers, civil and military, the takers of our army and navy,
cannot, for obvious reasons, receive their education at Cambridge.
We have no Polytechnic school as in France, where promising
talent or early success in mathematical studies is matured and pre-
, pared for the public service:" sitegenerated Greece being now an
object of peculiar interest, engrossing a large share of the public
attention, the papers in this Work respecting that country, claim
particular notice. —The article ender the bead of " Greek Ro-
mances," is a history of Grecian literature from its earliest infancy.
This is a wide field for the exercise of taste, industry, sad
talent, of all which it bears ample proofs.—lt concludes theist,
" While withdrawing a melancholy gaze from the picture sug-
gested by the foregoing pages, of the decline of Greek literature,
and the utter extinction which followed, our thoughts unconsciously
stray into speculations on the future.

" Who shall awake the Sputan fife 7"
exclaimed a poet of the last century.
" Who shall awake the Spartan fife,
And call in solemn sounds to life
The youths whom locks divinely spreading
Like vernal hyacinths of sullen hue.
At once the breath of fear and virtue shedding,
Applauding freedom lov'd of old to view ?"

The Spartan fife is alreadyawakened; its shrill notes are echoing
at this swami among the isles of Greece, and the barbarian quivers
both with rage and terror as its portentous music pierces into his
heart. 'lite war-pipe is awakened, but the harp sleeps—foe ever!
Should Greece once more assume her place among the nations,
what are the prospects of her literature? When she awakes from
her death-like slumber, will she arise in all the charms of her
prime..—

severe in Tankful beauty I"

Will the songs of the AOLIII once more soothe her ear or the
groves of Academe wave over her head? Some romantic mis-
cooception, some amiable and beautiful forgetfulness. To the eye
of youthful enthusiasm, or the equally simple and stogle-hearted
guts of a genuine lover of learning, this "Dome of their soul" ap-
pears la the situation of the Sleeping jleauty of the Orientals.—.
Like her she is seen in their glorious dreams, arising untouched by
time and change to look round oa the same hills which echoed to
her infant songs, to catch Inspiration from the same heavens which
shed their blessed influence on her youthful bead—to bask in the
light of eyes beaming with the same expression which once glad-
dened her heart; to see the same forms of character, assuages habit,
life, by which her own bad been nourished and established ; and
to recognise the same images perpetually renewed in the antique
and enduring mould of Eastern society. Alas! that so beautiful
a picture should be only a dream ! Greece may awake from her
political subjection and moral barbarism ; she may become refined
god civilised. and as free u such societies can be ; but the cha-
racter of her refioement, and civilisation, and freedom, must be es-
sentially different from What It ever has been. The circumstances
which formed the original Greek character, the rude beginnings of
which are slightly touched cm at the beginning of this article ma
sever more recur." The article reviewing the several works re-
lating to the Greek Revolution, gives a concise bet satisfactory se-
em= of the progress of that interesting gad important struggle to
soodesion, and of the European Diplomacy affecting
it. Ga the subject of the new Sovereign of Greece, to which
pit the attention of the Allied &unsling seems now particularly
directed, the writer gives a decided prefineoce to Coat Caro
slaw, whom it eulogises in be fallowing terms:—" Awned
from the progress of she Rossini arms, that the time for a definitive
arrangement of the Greek question was sot far distant, he has evi-
dently been exerting all the energies of his mind to subdue faction—

dignified consideration that is doe to enlightened mamma.
There is nothing, my Lord Duke, hi these remarks, iatended to
imply any thing disrespectful towards your Grace, at to any of
your Right Honourable colleagkes. or. indeed, to any class of le-
gislators. whether in or out of elk& But it is a truth that the
most profound mathematicians ache age (with whom I have bad
the honour to converse) have deliberately expressed their spicing'
that the rulers of the country have not yet made those attainments
which are necessary to a wise and efficient direction tithe resources
of the country. And why ? Because. as before stated, the
subjects necessary to be understood are too vase and complicated to
be grappled with even by the most powerful minds. except by
means of arithmetical Riustratioa, which b.s never yet bees fol-
lowed out to the necessary extent by them. I ant sensible. how •
ever, that great qualifications are possessed by rulers, great powers
of analy.le and combination, and I mean no adulatety compliment
to your Grace, in observing that so living man has shewn an equal
capability of acemnplishing a predetermined purpose mode, sonny
and suck powerfully opposing circumstances as your Grace. It is
from a knowledge of this fact, and knot a convictible:that you can
have no motive but to promote the public good. and that your
Grace, above any other man, from the circumstance just Mated at
1. best able to effect that object, that I am induced so fully to com-
er, to your Grace my opinions on these subjects.
In farther mairmation of my conclusion that legitimism has
proceeded on mistaken principles. I beg to remind your Grace of a
declaration made by your Right Honourable colleague, Mr. Peel.
in the House of Commons, on the 12th of June last, in reply to a
remark by Sir B. Vivian on the state of the nation, via. "he (Mr.
Peel) was convinced that on mature reflection the Honourable
Member foe Cornwall would perceive that the solution of a ma-
thematical problem was s thing quite different to the application of
practical relief, to evils like those complained of." Thls declaration
from a man of education and talent, as Mr. Peel is acknowledged
to be, a man high in ofike too, affords strong presumptive evi-
dence of its correctness. For the following statements prove net
only that the question is like a mathematical problem susceptible of
aolutioo, but they prove the solution itself. I therefore earnestly
implore your Grace to bestow upon them the attention to which
they are entitled from their connexion with the good ceder recant
community, Over which you possess so powerful an infloirece.
The data upon which the following calculations are founded, are
mostly Acid, and are all apported by collateral evidence. There-
fore I shall not atten4A to waste your Grace's attention by endea-
vours to establish their authenticity. It is impracticable, within to.
krable limits, to exhibit a spedikatioa of the sources of income on
which ail casette depend; but they may be summed op under the
general beads of wages, peofits of trade, prices of manufactures, of
wheat, sod of stock. annuities, rests, taxes.
