life as a father husband citizen was atau end thence forth i was to be a solitary man my fate had yet scarcely fallen upon me but i was now to feel it in tle disruption of every gentler tie that held me to life i was to make my couch with the savage the out cast and the slave i was to see the ruin of the mighty and the overthrow of em pires yet in the tumult that changed the face of the world 1 was still to live and he unchanged- every sterner passion that disturbs our nature was to reign in succes sive tyranny over my soul and fearfully was the decree fulfilled in revenge for the fall of jerusalem i traversed the globe to seek out an enemy of rome 1 found in the northern snows a man of blood i stirred up the soul of ala- ric and led him to the sack of rome in revenge for the insults heaped upon the jew by the dotards and dastards of the city of constantine i sought out aainstrument of compedious ruin i found him in the a- rahiao sauds and poured ambition into the soul of the enthusiastof mecca in revenge for the polutionof the ruins of the temple i roused the iron tribes of the west and at the head of the crusaders expelled the sara cens i fed full on revenge aud i felt the misery of revenge a passion for the mysteries of nature seized me i toiled with the alchemist i wore away years in the perplexities of the schoolmen and i felt theguilt aud emp tiness of unlawful knowledge a passion for human fame seized me i drew my sword in tho italian wars tri umphed was a monarch and learned to curse the hour when i first dreamed of fame a passion for gold seized me- i felt the unawiug of avarice the last infirmity ofthe falleu mind wealth came to my wish and to my torment iu the midst of roval treasures 1 was poorer than tho poorest days and nights of misery were be rift of avarice i felt within me the uo1 inx vvrtti in my priori i lonjred fr rogions were tho hand of man had ne ver rifled the mine i found a bold genoese led him to the discovery of a new world with its metals i inundated tho old and to my own misery added the misery of two hemispheres but the circle of the passions a circte of fire was not to surround my fated steps lor ever calmer and nobler aspirations were to rise in my melancholy heart 1 saw the birth of true science true liberty and true wisdom i lived with petrarch among his glorious relics of tho geuius of greece and rome- i stood enraptured beside the easel of angelo aud raphael i conversed with the merchant kings of the mediterranean i stood at meutz beside the wonderworking machine that makes knowledge imperishable and sends it with winged speed through the earth at the pulpit of the mighty man of wirtemberg i knelt israelite as i was and am i did involuntary homage to the mind of lu- ihor hut i must close these thoughts as wan del ring a the steps of my pvilgrimage i have more tell stradge magnificent and sad 44 but i must await the impulse of my heart or can the happy and the high born treading upon roses have an car for the story ofthe exile whoso path has for a thousand years been in tho brier and the thorn vot in pp 414417 this singular production which is as re markable for the splendour of its diction as the solemn grandeurof its narrative is said to be the work of tho rev g- croly an author distinguished by a most successful employment of a style which when a- dopted by a writer of inferior ability be comes a mere tissue of affectation and bombast mr- crolys poetry has long been regarded as possessing a character perfectly original but original only by the bright and concentrated glow of thought with which his genius has impressed every stanza the attempt has been often made to astonish readers by a heaping together of all the wild aud brilliant forms of nature tho miner pinia mul fjorgmlh n of palaces but they were but gathered to gether we saw only the fragments of an iutended pile there was rfo magician with his mysterious power clothing them with a bright and fearful mantle of flame and we have smiled at such a violation of truth and nature but the author of salathiel has made us ad mire what none perhaps but himself could have rendered fit for admiration a style which when closely examined is cer tainly very contrary to the purity and ease of every other writer of celebrity and a colouring given to every object he pre sents which scarcely ever permits us to look at nature otherwise than under the red glare of a torrid sun or an augry thun dercloud yet such is the power of the writer that we have laid down salatbi- el which is more strongly embued with these peculiarities of his style than any of his former works with the feeling that it is one of the most splendid productions a- mong works of fiction that the age has brought
