The life of johnson is assIre9!y a great,
a very great work. Homer is not more
decidedly the first of heroic poets, Saak-
speare is not more decidedly the first of
dramatists, Dsmosthenes is not more de-
cidedly the first of orators, than Boswell
is the first of biographers. He has no Sc
cond. lie has dlstanced all his cempeti-
tors so decidedly that it is not worth while
to place them. Eclipse is first and the
rest no where.
We are not sure that there is in the
whole history of the human intellect so
strange a phenomenon as this book. Many

Inc following beautiful passage, as true
as it Is beautiful. is from Mr. JAMES novel:
The Gypsy"
"Roun1 the idea Of ones mother the mind
Of a man clings with a f nd affection 1t is
the first deep thought stamped upon our in.
fan hearts, when yet soft and capable OF
receiving the most profound impressions and
all the after feelings of the world are moro
OF less ilglt i, comparison. | do not know
that even IN our old age we do not look back
to that feeling as the sweesezt we have
through life. Our passions, and our wilful.
ness may lead us far from The object of our
fllai love; we learn even to pal her heart,
to oppose heg wishes, to ~yio.ate her com.
mands; we may become wild. hcadstrong,
angry at her counsais or oppositions: but
waen death has stiIlel her monitory voice,
and nothing bat calm memory remains to
recapifulate her virtues and good deeds. af.
fiction, like a flower beaten to the ground
by a past storm, raises up her head and
smiles amongst her tears. Round that idea,
az we have said, the mind clings with fond
att ,ctlon; a I'd even when the earlier De,
nod of oar loss forces memory 10 be silent,
fancy takes he place of remembrance. and
and twines the image of our dead parent
with a garland Of graces, and beauties.
and virtues, which we doubt moi that she
possessed"

making both appear grand and august, in
spite vi tn, c!earest evidence that both
were below The ordinary standard Death
and time have exposed both the decep-
tion,. The body OF the great king has
been measured more justly than it was
measured by the courlers'w wac were afraid

character mas been scrutinlzed by man free
from the hopes and fears OF Boileau and

into a vain and feeble tyrant, the slave of

to b. a taultless piece Of clay, kneaded up
