Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cambridge Univerfity (England) to one of the editors of the Anthology, dated February 6, 1806. I AM glad, that you are actively employed in promoting a fpirit and tafte for polite literature. In encouraging and effecting this object, I am certain that in your country in particular, men of letters will conduce more to the real happiness and comforts of fociety, than in acrimonious difquifitions on theology or politicks. You cannot too often inculcate to your countrymen a truth, of which too many of them appear regardlefs: "Didiciffe fideliter artes, emollit mores ncc finit effe feros." From thefe we may hope that the thrifty economy of the fpeculator and merchant may in time be exacted into the liberality of the gentleman and fcholar. Herbert Marth has not published his fermons : in which he perhaps acts wifely, as the clamour would be very great, and fuch is the nature of the champions in the oppofite caufe that St. Paul himself could not quiet them. I am glad that the great learning of H. Marth has at length met fome reward in a place on the civil lift of £.500 per annum. Your complaint on the exceffive dearnefs of books is very juft, and much felt in England. The printers and bookfellers confider nothing but themselves, and have the power to do as they please. I do not at present recollect any late work which I have read with fo much pleasure, as "The Lay of the laft Minstrel," a poem defcriptive of Border manners, which in many places feems to me to contain the true fpirit of fong. The author is a gentleman, whofe ancestors were the actors, and who himself now lives on the fcene of his story. Mr. Hayley, with that active philanthropy which marks every action of his life, has addreffed the following circular letter to the perfons who have honoured the intention of railing a publick monument to Cowper by entering their names on the lift of fubfcribers: "Gratitude and integrity feem to require from me, at this time, an address to the favourers of a plan, which I propofed to the publick, as a tribute due to a departed object of national etteem and affection. To publifh a Milton in three quarto volumes (including all the Manuscripts of Cowper relating to Milton, at the price of fix guincas, was .... a propofal, that, with extenfive encouragement, might have gratified the wishes of Cowper's ar dent admirers, and, in rendering a signal and juft honour to him, might also have honoured the tafte of an enlightened and a liberal nation. "Though the fignature of feveral most respectable names feemed to afford an honourable fanction to my firft idea of a publick Monument for my literary friend, yet I am now difpofed to relinquith that idea; and I zealoufly folicit, not only thofe who have befriended it, but the publick at large to co-operate with me in a new, and different, mark of regard to the memory of the poet, on a plan, which I haften to explain, and to recommend to their favour. "Since the publication of my first proposal, a favourite godfon and namefake of Cowper has had the misfortune to become an orphan at an early age. It has occurred to me, that I may improve the tribute of general respect to the me mory of the poet, by converting his manufcripts, relating to Milton, not into marble, but into a little fund, to affift the education and future eltablifhment of this interesting orphan. I am confident that no tribute of relpce to Cowper's me. mory could be more truly acceptable to his pure and 'beneficent mind than what I now propose; and I feel a pleafure in believing, that I may grat ify many of his admirers by affording them an opportunity of purchafing the pofthumous poetry of my friend, and of indulging, at the fame time, their feelings of tendernefs and benevolence towards an orphan particularly endeared to the departed poct. "It is therefore my present intention to print, not a Milton in three volumes, but the Latin and Italian poems of Milton tranflated by Cowper (with all that remains of his projected differtations on Paradife Loft) in one handiome quarto, at the price of two guineas. "I cherish a fanguine hope that the liberality of the publick, and a general with to testify affection ate refpect to Cowper's memory, in a manner, that will appear, I truft, peculiarly fuited to the tenderness and the beneficence of his charader, may render such a subscription as I have now propofed, in fome degree adequate to the defirable object in view. "To those who have honoured me with their names for higher fums on my former plan, it is my duty to fay, that the perfons who have paid their money to the refpective bookfellers men tioned in the first proposal, are at liberty to re fume the whole, or what portion of it they think proper. If, on the contrary, they generously devote the whole fum (fubfcribed towards a Monument for Cowper) to the orphan god child of the poet, I think it right to affure them, that, whatever may be raifed by the prefent application to their liberality, will be vetted in two truftees, Samuel Smith, and John Sargent, efquires, members of parliament, for the benefit of the Orphan, whom ! have mentioned. Feb. 4, 1806. W. HAYLEY. "Cowper's translations from the Latin and Italian poems of Milton are already tranfcribed for the prefs, from the copy that includes his lateft corrections. "All perfons inclined to befriend the publication here recommended to their favour, for the benefit of the poet's orphan god-child, are refpectfully requested to pay their intended contributions to Mr. Johnson of St. Paul's Church Yard, or to Mr. Evans, Pall-Mall. "Thofe, who have made their respective payments, in confequence of a different proposal, are now gratefully defired either to recall or confirm them at pleasure." Mr. Carr, who has already favoured the world with his Stranger in France, and with his Travels round the Baltic, has lately made the Tour of Ireland, and is now preparing an account of that almost unknown country which he intends to publish under the title of THE STRANGER IN IRELAND. The work will make one elegant volume quarto, fimilar to the Northern Summer, and will be embellished with a variety of engravings by MEDLAND from drawings by Mr. CARR. Mr. Walter Scott, author of the Poem of the Lay of the laft Minstrel, is preparing an edition of the long neglected works of John Dryden. aufpices of Ferdinand the Catholick King of Spain. It fell into ruins fome years fince, not from age, but in confequence of the late troubles. It was fold, in order that its precious materials might be removed but his holinefs has refolved to repair it in a ftyle of great elegance. In a fhort time M. Carlo Fea will peak of all thefe new undertakings in the fecond volume of Mifcellanies, which he has particularly devoted to what relates to the refearches now carrying on, exclufive of what will be faid in his Illuftrations of Defgodetz.M. Guattani will likewife treat of them in a new journal which M. Carlo Fea is about to undertake. The former gentleman is at prefent engaged on the Sequel to the Unpublished Monuments, in which will be found many interefting particulars. The Museum of the illuftrious Cardinal Borgia has paffed into hands by which it will not be neglected. His nephew, the prefent poffeffor, is a man of information, and has a deep fenfe of the glory which the Cardinal acquired for his family by this unique collection. He continues the engrav He The following details relative to the arts at Rome are given by one of the moft diftinguished feientifick men of that city.--"We cannot boalt of many literary productions, but, to make amends, great pains are taken for clearing, cleanfing, and better preferving, the ancient monuments of architecture. His Holiness has greatly promoted this part of the art, one of the most interefting of antiquity.The architect and the antiquary will acquire new fubjects of erudition, and new works and new engravings will be rend-ings which his uncle intended to have ered neceffary. The Works of Defgodetz, a new edition of which is about to be published by M. Carlo Fea, will derive an immenfe advantage from thefe labours, and will become almost entirely new. How different from what we have been accustomed to behold it, will appear that celebrated Pantheon, hitherto almost unknown, though the most beautiful of ancient edifices, and in the best preservation! The Flavian Amphitheatre, or Coliseum, will be cleanfed, and the publick will have access to it, as to a mufeum. The Temple of the Sybil at Tivoli has been repaired; and the two arches of Septimius Severus and of Conftantine have been cleared of the earth which covered them. The column of Antoninus has been cleaned,and is nolonger covered with duft. The fuppofed Temple of Vesta at Rome, on the Tiber, as well as the neighbouring one of Fortuna Virilis, will be cleared of the rubbish in which they have been as it were buried; and the interior of them will be cleanfed. Thus by the exertions of his Holiness, ancient Rome will be expofed to view, and modern Rome will be embellished. Nor has the Holy Father forgotten the most celebrated of the modern buildings, the fmall circular temple erect ed in 1502, after the defigns of the illuftrious Bramante Lazzeri, under the executed from drawings of the most re- |
