Printed by J. Ruthven & Sons. We have still some misgivings about the "Rhapsodist." He displays very considerable originality and vigour, both of sentiment and expression; but he is wild and irregular; and (he must pardon us for saying so) his compositions seem to want, deplorably, the novissima cura. Yet there are fine passages in his poem. The beauty and feeling displayed in the following passage remind us of some of the happiest imaginative sketches of Wordsworth: "Such gentle aeronaut Had form'd, beneath yon mould'ring architrave, A wall-flower, whose small germ of life Had been caught up by the sweet architect, And with such nourishment as that would yield And ever as the kindly ones flew out To fetch, in accurately-meted time, The bleeding victim to their offspring's wants; Or when the cold north-wind came blustering forth, Its deep red tendrils shook around the nest; "Hints to Reviewers, by PETER CLUMPYFOOT," is totally inadmissible. Were our worthy friend Peter at our elbow, we could show cause for this exclusion, to his entire and perfect satisfaction. Let him not imagine, however, that we care a straw for his tilts at ourselves; that might have been a good reason for our inserting, but, we honestly assure him, would have been none for rejecting his article; though, in justice to ourselves, we are compelled to say that many of the faults which he thinks he has discovered in us, are the pure creations of his own inventive fancy. We are not yet so poor in resources, as to be obliged to imitate what we have ever contemned and detested. "Characters omitted in Crabbe's Parish Register" is highly creditable to the genius of the author, and, with "Disappointment, a Tale," will appear next month. We are ourselves hopeless Bachelors, and, therefore, cannot be supposed competent to decide the merits of " Home," in which the much-tortured and long since exhausted topics of Celibacy and Marriage are dexterously handled. For this reason we have laid it on the shelf for a time. We have a shrewd suspicion that the author intends to become a Benedict without farther delay, he discloses such a manifest bias in favour of the Ladies. For the credit of all honest Bachelors, we protest and declare, that a great deal more may be said in favour of the tribe to which we belong, than the author of "Home" is willing to allow ; and that some deadly "home"thrusts might be made against the happiness of that state to which our friend and correspondent is obviously approaching. In the meanwhile, we hope he will not forget the usual mark of friendship on the occasion; in return for which kindness, when it does reach us, we shall offer up our devout prayers, that he may hereafter be enabled, as heretofore, to continue at the head of the "Home" Department. We regret that we have not been able to find a place this month for the list of seeds sown in the crevices of the rocks, and in the borders of the walks of the Calton Hill, but we shall endeavour to do so in April. We cannot omit this opportunity, however, to reprobate, in the strongest terms, that propensity to mischief and destruction which characterises the lower orders of our townsmen. No sooner is any public work, whether useful or ornamental, thrown open to all classes, than dilapidation commences. Plants and flowers are eradicated; benches and seats are defaced, by carving on them obscene inscriptions; fences are overturned and carried off; walks are destroyed or obstructed; borders are trampled, and the seeds that had been sown in them rendered useless; in short, there is nothing left unattempted that the very spirit of malevolence and mischief can suggest, in order to deface, obliterate, and destroy those works of taste, which are so delightful to every rightlyconstituted mind to contemplate, and which have been performed, at great labour and expence, for the embellishment of our "fine romantic town." In making these remarks, we speak chiefly of what we ourselves have witnessed in our solitary walks round the Calton Hill, where so much had been so tastefully done, for the public gratification. How different the conduct of the lower orders is in Paris, which certain people who speak at random call the most profligate city in Europe, any body who has visited that great capital must be fully aware. There, most of the Public Places, Gardens, &c. such as the Jardin des Plantes, the Thuilleries, and the Luxemburgh, are open to all ranks; yet who ever heard of a book stolen from a Library-a specimen from a Museum-or a shrub broken, or a useful or ornamental work defaced, |
