    that he passed his public life in useless cruelty . A few pages on we are , notwithstanding all this , told , " His religion was unmixed with , superstition ; no sectarian feeling

    characterized his actions ; his spirit was as catholic as the religion he professed , and the church over which he presided . A victim to faction , and murdered by men who scrupled not to consummate their crimes and rebellion by imbruing their hands in the blood of their virtuous sovereign , his fate demands our compassion , while his heroic and magnanimous end commands our admiration . His death was as glorious as his life had been pious and beneficent

    /'—Pp . 544 , 548 . We must now dismiss Mr . Lawson , confessing that we cannot withhold our certificate of his competency , in many important particulars , for the performance of the greater task of misrepresentation , to which it appears that he has dedicated himself . Perhaps he will be wise enough to withdraw

    Beautiful fables of poetic Greece ! Thy witcheries * power how many hearts have felt , How many strains have sung ! Whether ye trace With light and graceful touch the glowing scene Which laughing Nature sheds abundantly On thy delicious land ; or rear the skies ,

    Of brightness redolent ; or seas whose swell Arid sportive waves come softly murmuring , To lay their crested honours at our feet ; Thy lovely valleys , and embowering woods , Peopled with young bewitching deities ; —

    Or low , yet deep , sing in melodious numbers The boundless torrent of resistless passion Which swan-like burst from dying Sappho ' s breast ;—Or , with a firmer nerve and manlier strain , Recite the glorious list of Athens' heroes , Who with undaunted front stood forth to meet

    The Persian ' s countless myriads ; As the young eaglet plumes his upward wing , And soars to meet the sun ! Whether the moody mind be grave or bright , Tender or sad , still , boyhood's cherishM stories ! Unconsciously ye rise , and spring unwatched for , Like thy own Partheira , mature to light .
