I conjure them to bear in mind the words I have placed at the + head of this article,—the opinion of one of our best and most + delightful authors. This opinion Mr. Landor, veiled under the eidolon of + Porson, I feel assured, does not hold alone; I believe it to be engraven + on the "red-leaved tablets" of the hearts of many more learned and more + distinguished scholars than myself, who am but as the trumpet which is to + rouse the friends of classical literature to action; as the bell which + awakens the reaper to his abundant harvest: but I will sustain, that on + none of them is it cut more deeply or more inextinguishably than on + mine.</p> + + <p>I propose that the friends of Classical, Scandinavian, and Oriental + literature form themselves into an Association for the Rescue of the many + ancient MSS. in the Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norwegian, Zend, Sanscrit, + Hebrew, Abyssinian, Ethiopian, Hindostanee, Persian, Syriac, Arabic, + Armenian, Coptic, Turkish, and Chinese languages:—that application + be made to government for the pecuniary furtherance of this + enterprise;—and that the active co-operation of all foreign + literary men be secured.<a name="footnotetag1" + href="#footnote1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></p> + + <p>Thus a careful and untiring search may be entered upon in all the + regions of the earth where any MSS. are likely to be found, and the + recovery or loss of the many inestimable authors of antiquity be made + certain.

How much this is wanted we + experience in the corruptions of Sophocles, Æschylus, Thucydides, Plato, + and Aristoteles! In this way much that is valuable may be recovered; much + that is matter of discussion set at rest. Let me instance the Babrian + fables, and the discovery of Mr. Harris at Alexandria; who, it was + remarked to me, might have discovered the whole, instead of a part, had + proper hands unfolded the mummy.</p> + + <p>On the advantages of this search, it were useless to expatiate: every + one is sensible of it, and, sooner or later, it <i>must</i> occur.

The current editions of his poems may therefore be open to + censure, both on the score of deficiency and redundancy—and such I + believe to be the fact.</p> + + <p>An <i>Essay on satire</i>, itself a coarse satire, has been ascribed + to him for more than a century on dubious authority, and the correctness + of this ascription has been properly suggested as a question for + examination.</p> + + <p>We have to decide on the credibility of two opposite statements, as + made in the publications about to be enumerated:—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>1.

In the latter publication it appears without date, and is + said to be "by Mr. Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave."</p> + + <p>The publications were posthumous, and as the editors afford no + explanation of the point in dispute, we must consult the reputed + authors.</p> + + <p>In the year 1691, as an advertisement to <i>King Arthur</i>, a + dramatic opera, Dryden printed a catalogue of his "plays and poems in + quarto," in order to prevent future mis-ascriptions. The catalogue + comprises ten poems, but no <i>Essay on satire</i>. The publisher of + <i>King Arthur</i> was Mr. Jacob Tonson.</p> + + <p>In 1682, the earl of Mulgrave published, anonymously, through the + agency of Mr. Joseph Hindmarsh, an <i>Essay upon poetry</i>. It contains + these lines:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"The laureat here may justly claim our praise,</p> + <p>Crown'd by <i>Mac-Fleckno</i> with immortal bays;</p> + <p>Though prais'd and punish'd for another's rimes,</p> + <p>His own deserve that glorious fate sometimes,</p> + <p>Were he not forc'd to carry now dead weight,</p> + <p>Rid by some lumpish minister of state."</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>In 1717, Mr. Tonson published <i>Poems by the earl of Roscommon</i>; + and added thereto the <i>Essay on poetry</i>, "with the leave and with + the corrections of the author." The lines shall now be given in their + amended state, as they appear in that volume, with the accompanying + notes:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"The <i>Laureat</i><a name="footnotetag2" href="#footnote2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> here may justly claim our praise,</p> + <p>Crown'd by <i>Mack-Fleckno</i><a name="footnotetag3" href="#footnote3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> with immortal bays;</p> + <p>Tho' <i>prais'd</i> and <i>punish'd</i> once for other's<a name="footnotetag4" href="#footnote4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> rhimes,</p> + <p>His own deserve as great applause sometimes;</p> + <p>Yet <i>Pegasus</i><a name="footnotetag5" href="#footnote5"><sup>[5]</sup></a>, of late, has born <i>dead weight</i>,</p> + <p>Rid by some <i>lumpish</i> ministers of state."</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>Next to Dryden and the earl of Mulgrave, as authorities on this + question, comes the elder Jacob Tonson. Both writers were contributors to + his <i>Poetical miscellanies</i>. In 1701 he published <i>Poems on + various occasions, etc. By Mr. John Dryden</i>. The volume has not the + <i>Essay on satire</i>. The same <!-- Page 163 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page163"></a>{163}</span>Tonson, as we have just + seen, gave currency to the assertion that Dryden was "ignorant of the + whole matter."</p> + + <p>To this display of contemporary evidence must be added the information + derivable from the posthumous publications enumerated in the former part + of this article. The publication of 1723 was made by direction of the + duchess of Buckingham. The couplet, "Tho' prais'd," &c., and the + appended note, were omitted. In 1726 Mr. alderman Barber republished the + volumes "with several additions, and without any castrations," restoring + the couplet and note as they were printed in 1717. In the <i>Original + poems</i> of Dryden, as collectively published in 1743, the joint + authorship is stated without a word of evidence in support of it.</p> + + <p>If we turn to the earlier writers on Dryden, we meet with no facts in + favour of his claim to the poem in question. Anthony à Wood says, "the + earl of Mulgrave was generally thought to be the author." This was + written about 1694. The reverend Thomas Birch, a man of vast information, + repeated this statement in 1736. Neither Congreve nor Giles Jacob allude + to the poem.</p> + + <p>The witnesses on the other side are, 1. The publisher of the <i>State + poems</i>. 2. Dean Lockier. And 3. The reverend Thomas Broughton.</p> + + <p>The <i>State poems</i>, in which the essay is ascribed to Dryden, may + be called a surreptitious publication: it carries no authority. The + testimony of Lockier, which is to the same effect, was never published by + himself. It was a scrap of conversation held thirty years after the death + of Dryden, and reported by another from memory. The reverend Thomas + Broughton, who asserts the joint authorship of the poems, cites as his + authority the <i>Original poems</i>, &c. Now Kippis assures us that + he edited those volumes. On the question at issue, he could discover no + authority but himself!</p> + + <p>Dryden <i>may</i> have revised the <i>Essay on satire</i>. Is that a + sufficient reason for incorporating it with his works? Do we tack to the + works of Pope the poems of Wycherly and Parnell? We have authority for + stating that Pope revised the <i>Essay on poetry</i>. Is it to be added + to the works of Pope? Be it as it may, the poem was published, in + substance, six years before Pope was born!</p> + + <p>As the evidence is very brief, there can be no necessity for + recapitulation; and I shall only add, that if about to edit the poetical + works of Dryden, I should reject the <i>Essay on satire</i>.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">Bolton Corney</span>. + +<div class="note"> + <a name="footnote2"></a><b>Footnote 2:</b><a + href="#footnotetag2">(return)</a> + <p>Mr. <i>Dryden</i>.</p> + + <a name="footnote3"></a><b>Footnote 3:</b><a + href="#footnotetag3">(return)</a> + <p>A famous satyrical poem of his.</p> + + <a name="footnote4"></a><b>Footnote 4:</b><a + href="#footnotetag4">(return)</a> + <p>A copy of verses called, <i>An essay on satyr</i>, for which Mr + <i>Dryden</i> was both applauded and beaten, tho' not only innocent but + ignorant, of the whole matter.</p> + + <a name="footnote5"></a><b>Footnote 5:</b><a + href="#footnotetag5">(return)</a> + <p>A poem call'd, <i>The hind and panther</i>.</p> + +</div> +<hr class="short" > + +<h3>MACKLIN'S ORDINARY AND SCHOOL OF CRITICISM.</h3> + + <p>Mr. George Wingrove Cooke, in his valuable work, <i>The History of + Party</i> (vol. iii, p. 66.), gives an admirable sketch of the life of + Edmund Burke. Speaking of his early career, and of the various designs + which he formed for his future course, we are told that "at <i>Macklin's + Debating Society</i> he made the first essay of his powers of + oratory."</p> + + <p>Mr. Cunningham, in his <i>Handbook for London</i>, speaks of Macklin + delivering Lectures on Elocution at Pewterer's Hall (p. 394.), and of his + residence in Tavistock Row, Covent Garden (p. 484.); but he does not + mention <i>Macklin's Debating Society</i>. I imagine that by this + "Debating Society" is meant an <i>Ordinary and School of Criticism</i>, + which that eminent actor established in the year 1754, in the Piazza, + Covent Garden. Mr. W. Cooke, in his <i>Life of Macklin</i>, 1806, p. + 199., says—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"What induced him [Macklin] to quit the stage in the full vigour of + fame and constitution, was one of those schemes which he had long + previously indulged himself in, of suddenly making his fortune by the + establishment of a tavern and coffee-house in the Piazza, Covent Garden; + to which he afterwards added a school of oratory, upon a plan hitherto + unknown in England, founded upon the Greek, Roman, French, and Italian + Societies, under the title of <i>The British Inquisition</i>."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>The first part of this plan (the public ordinary) was opened on the + 11th of March, 1754; and an amusing account of its operations may be + found in Angelo's <i>Pic Nic</i>, p. 32.

The size is a small folio, published weekly, + generally every Friday. It was carried on for some time merely as a + single leaf, with no advertisements.

The editor often concludes a column of information by stating, + "this is all I see useful to posterity." He not only appears to have been + a man of an active mind, but also a very kind man; for he says to those + who advertise in his paper for situations, &c., that "if they apply + themselves to me, I'll strive to help them." He appears also to have kept + a shop, or at least to have traded in certain articles: for in one of his + papers is this advertisement:—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"In my first volume of 1682, I publish'd my own selling of chocolate, + and have sold in small quantities ever since: I have now two sorts, both + made of the best nuts, without spice or perfume; the one 5s., and the + other 6s. the pound; and I'll answer for their goodness.

We had the observation of Mr. Booty this day. + Captain Barrisby, Captain Bristowe, Captain Brown, I, and Mr. Ball, + merchant, went on shore in Captain Barnaby's boat, to shoot rabbits upon + Stromboli; and when we had done we called all our men together by us, and + about half an hour and fourteen minutes after three in the afternoon, to + our great surprise, we all of us saw two men come running towards us with + such swiftness that no living man could run half so fast as they did run, + when all of us heard Captain Barnaby say, 'Lord bless me, the foremost is + old Booty, my next-door neighbour;' but he said he did not know the other + that run behind: he was in black clothes, and the foremost was in grey. + Then Captain Barnaby desired all of us to take an account of the time, + and put it down in our pocket-books, and when we got on board we wrote it + in our journals; for we saw them into the flames of fire, and there was a + great noise which greatly affrighted us all; for we none of us ever saw + or heard the like before. Captain Barnaby said he was certain it was old + Booty, which he saw running over Stromboli and into the flames of Hell. + It is stated that Captain Barnaby told his wife, and she told somebody + else, and that it was afterward told to Mrs. Booty, who arrested Captain + Barnaby in a thousand pound action, for what he had said of her husband. + Captain Barnaby gave bail to it, and it came on to a trial in the Court + of King's Bench, and they had Mr. Booty's wearing apparel brought into + court, and the sexton of the parish, and the people that were with him + when he died; and we swore to our journals, and it came to the same time + within two minutes; ten of our men swore to the buttons on his coat, and + that they were covered with the same sort of cloth his coat was made of, + and so it proved. The jury asked Mr. Spinks if he knew Mr. Booty. He + answered, 'I never saw him till he ran by me on the burning + mountain.'"</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>The chief justice from April, 1687, to February, 1689, was Sir Robert + Wright. His name is not given in the report, but <i>the judge</i> + said—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Lord have mercy upon me, and grant that I may never see what you have + seen: one, two, or three may be mistaken, but thirty never can be + mistaken. So the widow lost her suit."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>An action for slander of a deceased husband, brought by the widow, and + the defendant held to bail, is a remarkable beginning. The plea of + justification, that Booty ran into Hell, is hardly supported by evidence + that he ran into the flames at Stromboli. The evidence was, that the + defendant <i>said</i> that one of the two runners was Booty; it does not + appear that the other witnesses knew him. The witnesses must have kept a + good look to observe the buttons of Booty's coat when he ran more than + twice as fast as any living man could run. Finally, as the time of the + death and the observation "came to the same within two minutes," and + Stromboli is about 15° east of Gravesend, Booty must have run to Hell + before he died.</p> + + <p>I have no doubt that "the case is well known in the navy."

But as he was sensible everybody could not be + imposed upon by so gross a forgery, he added certain expressions, + intimating that he built his right also upon the service he had just done + the state.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
