The Editor would be glad to insert the remainder of “ Theodoret,” if he receives the permission of the writer. The Law Report and several other communications are necessarily deferred. The learned communication of “ Hermocrates” arrived so late, that there has not been time to examine it. The following verse (the third) was omitted in the Poem of the “ Funeral Bell," inserted in our last : Heard ye the orphan's pitiful shriek At the sound of the funeral knell? E P. THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER. MAY, 1840. REVIEW OF NEW PUBLICATIONS. Art. I. - The Life of Edward Gibbon, Esq., with Selections from his Correspondence, and Illustrations. By the Rev. H. H. Milman, Prebendary of St. Peter's, and Minister of St. Margaret's, West minster. London: John Murray. 1839. 8vo. Pp. xvi. 455. AUTOBIOGRAPHY, beyond all question, is a very remarkable department of literature. When we come to think of it, it seems strange that mortal man should have courage to venture upon it. One can hardly imagine how any human being should endure to sit down in his study, month after month, and, perhaps, year after year, with that awful Spectre, EGO, perpetually staring him in the face! There are many, we doubt not, who would rather keep the ininutes of a parish vestry, than undertake a diary, or a review, of their own lives; nay-who would greatly prefer the task of filling, with pure arithmetic, the most corpulent ledger, or day-book, on the shelves of a mercantile countinghouse. Some, however, are occasionally found, endowed with industry and hardihood for the adventure; and, to them, the world has, often, been indebted for much amusement, and, sometimes for much instruction. But it certainly must require a very peculiar temperament to carry the writer through his work with much satisfaction to himself; whatever may be the result of his labour to the reader. And this temperament, Gibbon seems to have had in perfection. With him, the labour, throughout, appears to have been a labour of love. The Spectre, evidently, had no terrors for him. They appear to have been, for the most part, on the very best possible terms with each other. There passes between them little but "nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles," and complacent recognitions. And yet, we must frankly confess that, to us, the Apparition is very far from an agreeable or attractive one. It reminds us, every now and then, of one Mephistophiles. There is a laughing and sneering devil in its eye, which hinders us from feeling at all at our ease. There is, manifestly, much refreshing sympathy between the parties. But, there is, as clearly, but little of cordial and generous fellow-feeling with the rest of the human race. We are aware, indeed, that a more favourable impression has been left on other minds. The late Dr. Whitaker, for example, speaks of the VOL. XXII. NO. V. KK |
