This Volume is pronounced by Sir Richard Brown, to whom it is dedicated by the Translator, Richard Watson (Caen, Aug. 12, 1660.) "a kind of nine-and-twentieth of the Acts," as being written with a most apostolical spirit. Appended to it are Three Discourses of F. Barnes of the Order of St. Benedict, selected from his Catholico-Romanus Pacificus, and translated by the same person. English and Scotch Presbytery...F. Villa Franca, 1660 Sacrilege Arraigned and Condemned 1668 First published in 1646 by the Special Command of Charles I., being "rough-cast inter tubam et tympanum" during the siege at Oxford. It "justly characterises the Church of England, in the language of Isaac Casaubon (Ep. XL. ad Cl. Salmas. 1612.) as "totius Reformationis pars integerrima; ubi cum studio Veritatis viget studium Antiquitatis;" and gives a view of the different circumstances, as to Times, Places, Parties, Matters, and Manner, under which Wickliffe and Huss delivered their positions relative to the Temporalties of the Church. In an Epistle Dedicatory is quoted, from Deodati (Genev. Respons. ad Convent. Eccles. Lond.) Florentissima Anglia, Ocellus ille Ecclesiarum, Peculium Christi singulare, Perfu gium Afflictorum, Imbellium Armamentarium, Inopum Promptuarium, Spei melioris Vexillum, &c.-Horrore toti concutimur ad versam hanc pulcherrimam ecclesiæ inter vos faciem.

He was well acquainted with poetry and the belles lettres, and a great imitator of Cowley. Yet his metaphors are not always congruous; as where he speaks of a de spicable worm "lifting his hand" against God! nor always delicate, e. g. where he represents Job as "rough-cast with ulcers"!

(Orton's Letters, 1. 121.) And yet it must not be disguised, that in two Editions of his Saints' Everlasting Rest published before the Restoration, instead of 'the Kingdom' he speaks of the Parliament' of heaven-and, if like their own, it must have been a Parliament without a King-into which he introduces some of the Regicides, &c. then dead. In the Editions, however, subsequent to that event, he dis-canonises them again.

Cowper pronounces B. the only author he had seen, whose critical and philosophical researches are diversified and embellished by a poetical imagination, that make even the driest subject and the leanest a feast for an epicure in books.—And then he is so gentle, so well-tempered, so happy in his religion, and so humane in his philosophy, that it is necessary to love him, if one has any sense of what is lovely. with his Life by A.

"For correctness of costume, beauty of description, and power of imagination, that most Eastern and sublime tale, the Caliph Vathek', far surpasses all European imitations; and bears such marks of originality, that those who have visited the East will find some difficulty in not believing it to be more than a translation. As an Eastern tale, even 'Rasselas' must bow before it: his Happy Valley will not bear a comparison with the Hall of Eblis." (Byron.) The Tower of eleven thousand stairs,' and the lights flaming through the whole of the night prece ding his departure from Samarah, with their effects on Vathek, seem to have been almost literally realised in the proud building and builder of Fonthill Abbey; when, on cold winter-nights, he watched the blazing of the workmen's torches from amidst the depths of the surrounding woods. The ingenuity and erudition of the Notes are indisputable; though the interpretation of Virgil's "Idumæan palins" has been completely superseded by Mr. Granville Penn's conclusive and masterly dissertation on the Pollio.
