Sir Francis Burdett, whose name once filed all
mouths in England, longer attracts much political
attention. He probably struck his first notes on too
high key not to fall into below before the
air was finished. Your true and lasting melody steals
slowly on the ear, commencing with more modulated
strains, and rising gradually with the feelings that the
sounds awaken. Luther, who has left steadily in
creasng impression the world would probably
have shfunk with horror, at first, from the degree Of
reformation to which he finally arrived by slower and
more certain means. may also be questioned If Sir
Francis Burdett had mind sufficiently original, or
reason logical enough either to conceive or to maintain
the reform that England needs and, sooner or later,
will have, or take revolution in its stead.
