have been that of Gibbon. When Hume died (in 1776), it has been
observed, Gibbon rose. Thus Virgil was born on the day of Lucre-
tius' death. Genius has, however, oftener been deemed synchroni-
cal, or gregarious, than successive; and hence we hear of the Ages
of Pericles, of Augustus, and of Queen Anne. Here may be noted a
singular string of anachronisms made by Dr. J. Warton, in the Adven-
turer (No. 127.) where he says, lamentingly; "That age will never
again return, when a Pericles, after walking with Plato in a portico
built by Phidias and painted by Apelles, might repair to hear a plead-
ing of Demosthenes or a tragedy of Sophocles!" It can hardly be
needful for me to add, that Pericles died (B. C. 429.) in the year of
Plato's birth, and that both Apelles and Demosthenes survived Alex-
ander, who died (B. C. 323.) upward of a century after Pericles!

A. O. II. 728. On Hunt's Tract, see Moule's Biblioth. Herald. p. 207.; who however, without naming H., says it has been ascribed by some to Barlow, Bp. of Lincoln, and by others to Tho. Turner of Gray's Inn.' It was answered, as well as Stillingfleet's 'Grand Question, &c.' (which, Burnet tells us, "in the opinion of all impartial men put an end to the controversy," II. 256.) by Lord Hollis, in his 'Remains,'

The discussion originated in the Commons objecting to the Bishops voting on the question of Lord Danby's pardon, which he pleaded in bar of his Impeachment.

Ludovicus de Paramo, in his Latin Work on this subject (published at Madrid, in 1598) seriously tells us, that "God was the first Inquisitor, when our first Parents fell into Heresie;" put "upon them a Sanbenit, making them coats of skius, &c." Abraham he calls præclarum Inquisitorem: and at last, "it came to our Blessed Lord;" and from him, by devolution through St. Peter, to the Pope. The same De P. states that, 'within 150 years, it burnt 30,000 Witches! It's historic origin is referred to A. D. 1216, when Innocent III. appointed St. Dominic to repress the growing heresy of the Albigenses. It was new-modelled in 1587 by the celebrated Bull of Sixtus V., in which he terms it firmissimum Catholicæ fidei propugnaculum. In pp. 219227. is given an Account of the Indices Expurgatorü, and a list of several of the proscribed Sentences, viz. Deus solus adorandus; Alienis meritis et operibus nemo juvatur; Justus coram Deo nemo; A Deo solo omnia petenda, &c. In the Rules of the Sacred Congregation, A. D. 1667, issued by the authority of Alexander VII., were expressly prohibited Biblia vulgari quocunque idiomate conscripta, and absolution withheld from such as possessed them. See Cur. of Lit. I. 279. II. 410. M. Llorente has published, in Spanish, a most interesting 'Critical History' of this Tribunal. One is surprised to find in a Country, where people are literally compelled to come in,' the Proverb-Muchas caminas al cielo. It must be admitted indeed in favour of the Inquisition, with all it's horrors, that it has frequently displayed keen penetration, good sense, and sound morality, powerfully exposed the principles of the French* school, repeatedly denounced superstitious tales of ghosts and visions, and (in combination with the Royal Academy of Madrid) produced one of the most philologically accurate and expressive languages in Europe, and unquestionably the first for highly delicate wit and satire, as evinced by the writings of Cervantes, Quevedo, and Father Isla. Neither has it differed, in it's hostility toward literary works, from the Sorbonne of Paris, except in the comparatively redeeming quality of incorruptibleness. Est aliquid prodire tenùs. "Not being the worst", according to Lear, "stands in some rank of praise."

Cervantes whispered to the French Embassador, "I should have made my book much more entertaining, had it not been for the Inquisition." Aonius Palearius pronounced it a poignard aimed at the throat of literature;' and he was-burnt for it!

*The Spaniards have never liked their Trans-pyrenean neighbours. One of their proverbs is, Los Franceses tienen todas las emociones del corazon humano, menos el agradecimiento. Combine this with the old Roman Ingratum si dixeris, omnia dixeris, and what is the inference ? (Tho., Camb.) Apology, on Bps. Judging, &c.... 1686 Hunter, see Bartley'.

Moule's Biblioth. Herald. II. 396., and Lit. Anecd. II. 327. "I have read to the 116th page, and find not a word to alter." (Warburton.) The Author's name was first affixed to the Third edition in 1765, with a long and elegant Preface on the manner of writing Dialogue, recommending the ancient models. Though he altered these compositions, which (as Boswell tells us) had originally a "woefully whiggish cast," to what the same not-very-sound authority pronounces 66 a more constitutional spirit," Johnson said he feared he was still a Whig in his heart! Porson once remarked to me what a 'curious Article it would furnish, to trace the successive alterations, what Dr. Parr happily calls "the clippings and the filings (nyara xzi apaiμara), the softenings and the varnishings of sundry constitutional doctrines," as they crept by little and little into the successive editions. But Dr. P. has commended their Author, where commendation was due, neither with the thrifty and penurious measure of a critic by profession, nor with the coldness and languor of an envious antagonist: pronouncing the more excellent parts of his writings and of Warburton's not inferior to the "clear yet luminous galaxies of imagery diffused through the works of Bp. Taylor, the mild and unsullied lustre of Addison, the variegated and expanded eloquence of Burke, the exuberance and dignified ease of Middleton, the gorgeous declamation of Bolingbroke, or the majestic energy of Johnson."

- Discourses, at Warburton's Lecture, on Prophecy. 1772 In the Seventh of these, the R, R. Author has given a concise History of the Charge of Anti-Christianism, which has at different times been brought against the Church of Rome. Dr. Whitaker, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, in his Exercise at the Commencement, 1582, supported this Thesis; Pontifex Romanus est ille Antichris'us, quem futurum Scriptura prædixit. He had, previously, refuted the Forty Arguments of Nicholas Sander, asserting the opposite of this proposition. That the Hierarchy, indeed, of the Church of Rome is the Little Horn' of Daniel, the Man of Sin' of St. Paul (upon which Benson has an Essay, in his Paraphrase on the Epistles, inserted in Bp. Watson's 'Collection'), and the Autichrist' of St. John, may be regarded as the primary pillar of the Reformed Faith. Lit. Anecd. V. No. xix., VI. No. xvii.
