None of these Christians do not love revenge's Christians must not be angry; they cannot have pleasure in causing pain. Christians do not, therefore, punish for these. Is it not that, by the suffering which is inflicted, we may prevent the criminal from repeating his crime, and frighten others from doing as he has done to deserve the like? Well, then, does not every body know that it would be a greater punishment to be banished for ever from Tahiti, to a desolate island, than just, in a moment, to be put to death? And could the banished man commit murder again there? And would not others be more frightened by such a sentence than by one to take away his life? So my thought is that Tati is right, and the law had best remain as it has been written.'

"About the time when the gospel was beginning to make its way in Raiatea, a canoe, with four men in it, was upset at sea, and the people were thrown into the water, where (though nearly amphibious) they nast have been drowned amidst the everlasting waves, drifting them to and fro, unless speedily carried to shore, or taken up by some vessel. Two of the men having embraced Christianity immediately cried, Let us pray to Jehovah'; for He can save us. Why did you not pray to HimTs volume is worthy of its predecessors.

The Christians, however, did ery mightily unto their God, while all four were clinging for life to the broken canoe.In this situation a shark suddenly rushed towards them, and seized one of the men. His companions held him as fast and as long as they could; but the monster prevailed in the tug between them, and hurried the unfortunate vic tim into the abyss, marking the track with his blood. He was one of the two who were idolaters. After some time the tide bore the surviving three to the reef, when, just as they were cast upon it, a second shark snatched the other idolater with his jaws, and carried off his prey, shrieking in vain for assistance, which the two Christians, themselves struggling with the breakers, could not afford him.

If he proceed as he has begun, his work will ultimately prove not nierely the best, but the only complete and authentic history of Scotland which we possess.

In order to complete the picture of the moral feeling of the century, we subjoin a characteristic trait of political intrigue ander James the Third.

We have seen that the excellent Kennedy, who had filled the see of St Andrews with so much credit to himself and benefit to the nation, died in the commencement of the year 1466., Patrick Graham, his uterine brother, then Bishop of Brechin, a prelate of singular and primitive virtue,, was chosen, to succeed him, and as his promotion was obnoxious to the powerful faction of the Boyds, who then ruled every thing at court, the bishopelect secretly left the country for Rome, and on his arrival, without difficulty, procured his confirmation from Pope Paul the Second. Fearing, however, that his enemies were too strong for him, he delayed his return, and the controversy regarding the claim of the see of York to the supremacy of the Scottish church, having been revived by Archbishop Nevill, during his stay in Italy, Grabam so earnestly and successfully exerted himself for the independence of his own church, that Sixtus the Fourth, Pope Paul's successor, became convinced by his arguments that the claim of York was completely unfounded. The result was a measure which forms an era in the history of the national church. The see of St Andrews was erected into an archbishopric, by a bull of Sixtus the Fourth, and the twelve bishops of Scotland solemnly enjoined to be subject to that see in all future time. In addition to this high privilege which he had gained for his own church, Graham, who felt deeply the abuses which had deformed it for so long a period, induced the Hope to confer upon Him the office of legate, for the space of three years, purposing, on his return for Scotland, to make a determined effort for their removal.

The moment he set his foot in Scotland, he was cited to answer these complaints, and inhibited from assuming his title as archbishop, or exercising his legatine functions. In vain did he remonstrate against the sentence in vain appeal to the bulls which he spread before the court-in vain assert what was conspicuously true, that he had been the instrument of placing the Scottish church on a proud equality with that of the sister kingdom, and that his efforts were conscientiously directed to her good. The royal mind was poisoned, his judges were cerrupted by money, which the prelates and ecclesiastics, who were his enemies, did not scruple to expend on this base conspiracy. Accusations were forged against him, by Schevez, an able but profligate man, who, from his skill in, the, then fashionable studies of judicial astrology, had risen into favour at court; agents were employed at Rome, who raked up imputations of heresy ; his bankers and creditors in that city, to whom he was indebted for large sums expended in procuring the bull for the archbishopric, insisted on premature payment;

He was committed to the charge of Schevez, his mortal enemy, who succeeded him in the primacy, and, unappeased in his enmity, even by success, continued to persecute his victim, removing him from prison to prison, till he died at last, overcome with age and misfortune, in the castle of Lochleven."

Descending to matters of inferior moment, some of our readers may wish to know the fashion of dress among the magnates of the land at that early period.

"There follows a curious statute on the subject of dress, which is interesting, from its minuteness. It declares, that with regard to the dresses to be worn by earls, lords of parliament, commissaries of boroughs, and advocates, at all parliaments and general councils, the earls shall take care to use mantles of brown granyt," open in the front, farred with ermine, and lined before with the same, surmounted by little hoods of the same cloth, which are to be used upon the shoulders. The other lords of parliament are directed to have a mantle of red cloth, open in front, and lined with silk, or furred with Cristy gray, grece, or purray, with a hood furred in the same manner, and composed of the same cloth;' whilst all commissaries of boroughs are commanded to have a pair of cloaks, such is the phrase made use of, -of blue cloth, made to open on the right shoulder, to be trimmed with fur, and having hoods of the same colour. If any earl, lord of parliament, or commissary, appears in parliament, or at the general council, without this dress, he is to pay a fine of ten pounds to the king. All men of law who are employed and paid as 'forespeakers,' are to wear a dress of green cloth, made after the fashion of a 'tunykill,' or tunic, with the sleeves open like a tabard, under a penalty of five pounds to the king, if they appear either in parliament or at general councils without it; and in every borough where parliament or general councils are to be held, it is directed that there be constructed where the bar uses to stand,' a platform, consisting of three lines of seats, each line higher than the other, upon which the commissaries of the boroughs are to take their places."

The dress of private members of society has also been recorded for the admiration of future ages.

care to make their wives and daughters to be habited
in a manner correspondent to their estate; that is to say,
on their heads short curches, with little hoods, such as
are used in Flanders, England, and other countries; and,
as to the gowns, no woman should wear mertricks or
letvis, or tails of unbefitting length, nor trimmed with
furs, except on holydays.' In like manner, it was order-
ed, that poor gentlemen living in the country, whose
property was within forty pounds, of old extent, should
regulate their dress according to the same standard;
whilst amongst the lower classes, no labourers or hus-
bandmen were to wear, on their work days, any other
stuff than grey or white cloth, and on holydays, light
blue, green, or red-their wives dressing correspondently,
'and using curches of their own making. And the stuff
they wore was not to exceed the price of forty pence the
ell. No woman was to come to the kirk or market with
her face" mussalit," or covered, so that she might not be
known, under the penalty of forfeiting the curch. And
as to the clerks, no one was to wear gowns of scarlet, or
furring of mertricks, unless he were a dignified officer in
a cathedral or college-church, or a nobleman or doctor, or
a person having an income of two hundred marks. And
these orders touching the dresses of the community, were
to be immediately published throughout the country, and
carried into peremptory and rigorous execution.'"

We now turn to a passage which places Mr Tytler's
powers as a delineator of character in a favourable light.
The monarch who forms the subject of the sketch is
James the Third:

"It has been the fashion of some historians to represent James as a compound of indolence, caprice, and imbecility; but the assertion is equally rash and unfounded. His character was different from the age in which he lived, for it was unwarlike, but in some respects it was far beyond his own times. A love of repose and seclusion, in the midst of which he might devote himself to pursuits which, though enervating, were intellectual, and bespoke an elegant and cultivated mind, rendered him unpopular amongst a nobility who treated such studies with contempt. A passion for mathematics and the study of judicial astrology, a taste for architecture and the erection of noble and splendid buildings, an addiction to the science and the practice of music, and a general disposition to patronise the professors of literature and philosophy, rather than to surround himself with a crowd of fierce retainers; such were the features in the character of this unfortunate prince, which have drawn upo him the reprobation of most of the contemporary historians, but which he possessed in common with some of the most illustrious monarchs who have figured in history. This turn of mind, however, in itself, when duly "There follows a minute and interesting sumptuary regulated, rather praiseworthy than the contrary, led to law, relative to the impoverishment of the realm by the consequences which were less excusable. Aware of the sumptuous apparel of men and women; which, as pre- impossibility of finding men of congenial tastes amongst senting a vivid picture of the dresses of the times, I shall his nobles, James had the weakness, not only to patronise, give as nearly as possible in the quaint words of the ori- but to exalt to the rank of favourites and companions, the ginal.

he is indignantly termed by our feudal historians, a mason; Rogers, a professor of music; Ireland, a man of literary and scientific acquirements, who had been educated in France, were warmly favoured and encouraged; whilst, even upon such low proficients as tailors, smiths, and fencing-masters, the treasures, the smiles and en. couragement of the monarch were profusely lavished." The question regarding this king's character is afterwards discussed more in detail, and equally felicitously: "He was an enthusiast in music, and took great de

light in architecture, and the construction of splendid
and noble palaces and buildings; he was fond of rich and
gorgeous dresses, and ready to spend large sums in the
encouragement of the most skilful and curious workers
in gold and steel; and the productions of these artists,
their inlaid armour, massive gold chains, and jewelled-
hilted daggers, were purchased by him at high prices,
whilst they themselves were admitted, if we believe the
same writers, to an intimacy and friendship with the
sovereign, which disgusted the nobility. The true account
of this was probably, that James received these ingenious
artisans into his palace, where he gave them employment,
and took pleasure in superintending their labours--an
amusement for which he might have pleaded the example
of some of the wisest and most popular sovereigns. But
the barons, for whose rude and unintellectual society the
monarch showed little predilection, returned the neglect
with which they were unwisely treated, by pouring con-
tempt and ridicule upon the pursuits to which he was
devoted. Cochrane the architect, whose genius in an art
which, in its higher branches, is eminently intellectual,
had raised him to favour with the king, was stigmatized
as a low mason. Rogers, whose musical compositions
were fitted to refine and improve the barbarous taste of
the age, and whose works were long after highly esteem-
ed in Scotland, was ridiculed as a common fiddler or
buffoon; and other artists, whose talents had been warm-
ly encouraged by the sovereign, were treated with the
same indignity. It would be absurd, however, from the
evidence of such interested witnesses, to form our opinion
of the true character of his favourites, as they have been
termed, or of the encouragement which they received
from the sovereign. To the Scottish barons of this age,
Phidias would have been but a marble-cutter, and Apelles
no better than the artisan who stained their oaken wain-
scot. The error of the king lay, not so much in the en-
couragement of ingenuity and excellence, as in the indo-
lent neglect of those duties and cares of government, which
were in no degree incompatible with his patronage of the
fine arts. Had he possessed the energy and powerful
intellect of his grandfather had he devoted the greater
portion of his time to the administration of justice, to a
friendly intercourse with his feudal nobles, and a strict
and watchful superintendence of their conduct in the
offices intrusted to them, he might safely have employed
his leisure in any way most agreeable to him; but it hap-
pened to the monarch, as it has to many a devotee of
taste and sensibility, that a too exquisite perception of
excellence in the fine arts, and an enthusiastic addicted-
ness to the studies intimately connected with them, in
exclusion of the performance of ordinary duties, produced
an indolent refinement, and fastidious delicacy of mind,
which shrunk from common exertion, and transformed
a character originally full of intellectual and moral pro-
mise, into that of a secluded, but not unamiable misan-
thropist. Nothing can justify the king's inattention to
the cares of government, and the recklessness with which
he shut his ears to the complaints and remonstrances of
his nobility; but that he was cruel, unjust, or unforgi-
ving that he was a selfish and avaricious voluptuary-
or that he drew down upon himself, by these dark por-
tions of his character, the merited execration and ven-
geance of his nobles, is a representation founded on no
authentic evidence, and contradicted by the uniform his-
tory of his reign and of his misfortunes."

We close the volume with the most sincere respect for its amiable and talented author. The labours of Mr Tytler and some others of our contemporaries, promise, erelong, to banish the whole host of silly and contradictory traditions from Scottish history-a consummation most devoutly to be wished for.

Poems. By William Danby, Esq., of Gisbrowe. Post octavo. Edinburgh: Henry Constable. London : Hurst, Chance, and Co. 1831.

(Unpublished.)

THE poet now before us has not dared the regions of song idly or presumptuously. In long apprenticeship among the hills and woods, he has sedulously cultivated, to meditation and sensibility, a mind ever well inclined to both. Dwelling, as he does, amid some of the loveliest, most beautiful, and most various scenery of England, and having made himself well at home amongst all the other most striking scenes of his native country, he comes before us well prepared to command our attention and admiration. No one who has listened to his wild and eloquent voice whilst speaking of some beloved scene-no one who has watched carefully the gradual developement of his beautiful imagination-no one who has seen the whole tenor of his retired life-no one who knows what he has done to make himself a fit worshipper at the Muse's shrine, can ever doubt his power and ability to dare the loftiest and stormiest heights of Fame.

As a favourable specimen of Mr Danby's power in one line of composition, we select three stanzas from the first poem, called Gisbrowe:

"Now on the pathway, overarch'd with boughs,
And past the opening vista, I behold,
Where the huge watersheet most splendid glows,
In the descending sunbeams, dyed with gold,
A peaceful cottage, where the linnet bold
Singeth his even-song, and, in their pride,
The stately wall-roses their leaves unfold;

But, oh! a fairer flower than all beside,

Is that pure maid, who sits to view the shining tide!

"Yes; there the lonely, solitary flower,

From God's own Paradise transplanted here,
Sweet little Mary sits within her bower,
Wrapp'd in the guileless bliss that knows not fear;
And, oh, not passionless! that eye, so clear,

Flushes with deeper light; that virgin breast
Heaves with more swelling motion, as the dear

And cherish'd thoughts disturb its quiet rest,
With which the throbbing heart of woman aye is blest.

"Passion is woman's dowery; the rich blood

Grows darker hued upon her fragrant cheek
The tints of ripe creation-'tis the food

On which the heart must feed, or else must break;
And they who taintless joy on earth would seek,
Mary, can find it but in such as thee;

Let them not pass it by, for words are weak
To paint the joys that in affection be-
The hopes of young delight, and blissful memory."

There is singular simplicity here in every line-no straining after loud-sounding language, which merely attracts the idle reader for the moment, and wins over no one whose admiration is of value. In this same poem, there are a few beautiful stanzas on the death of a beloved young friend, who died in early youth; but want of space hinders us from transcribing them. Much dif ferent from the above are these succeeding stanzas from "The Knell," and equally excellent :

"It is the voice of death! the angel soars

Above the destined world to mark his prey;
With wings all dripping blood, he seeks our shores,
And calls the soul to rise and come away.
Robed in the mist of moonbeams, and his arm
Waving on high the lightning-pointed dart,
Over the air he wanders, and no charm

Can blunt that point, or ward it from the heart,
Or even the faintest charm to ease its pangs impart.
