Printed by NICHOLS, SON, and BENTLEY, at CICERO'S HEAD, Red Lion Passage, Fleet-str. London: where all Letters to the Editor are particularly desired to be addressed, POST-PAID, THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, For MAR C H, 1817. 1 Mr. URBAN, March 8. Annotations upon the Memoirs generally and truly ascribed to Mr. Lockhart; and, having explained to him the nature of the papers I was arranging for the press, 1 ventured to suggest that the addition of Sir John Clerk's MS notes would be a valuable appendage to them, as tend AM confident that you will not object to finding a corner (an obscure one there is not in your Magazine) for the following proverb, which is quoted in Signor Montucci's excellent Collection of "Italian Extracts," as being as old (for Wisdom is not young) as the year 1300. I being to illustrate that portion of Mr.. lieve, the more it is considered, the more its truth and importance will be felt "Insegnare è cosa di Necessità, Dilettare è cosa di Suavità, Ma Muovere è di Vittoria." And it must be so; for an address to the reason will have little effect, unless an impression is made on the feelings. The voice of "the Charmer" will not, I trust, be less attended to, when delivered through the organ of the beautiful Italian language. The Proverb is au Address (implied at least) to the best feelings of our nature, and therefore deserves attention, in whatever language it is conveyed. Should you admit it iuto your Magazine, it may perhaps excite some Correspondent of yours, who has a taste for the beauties of the Italian language, and a sense of the value of important (I might say sublime) truths, to transfuse (as far as may be done) those beauties into our language, or at least to give those truths the advantage (with a still greater to those who become acquainted with and feel them) of appearing in an English dress. Yours, &c. Mr. URBAN, RURICOLA Jan. 26. BEG to offer my acknowledge ments to G. W. M. for the infor mation conveyed to me in p. 400 of your last Volume; and to acquaint him that the perusal of the note in p. 156, of "Somerville's History of Great Britain during the Reign of Queen Anne" induced me to apply some time since to Sir George Clerk for the inspection of his Ancestor's Lockhart's Work which relates to the Union: but Sir George's absence upon the Continent proves an obstacle to my wishes. For the information of such of your Readers as may be unacquainted with the Memoirs, and with the character of their Author, allow me, Mr. Urban, to add, that Somerville makes frequent use of that performance, gives his reasons for relying upon Mr. L.'s testimony, says that he had excellent access to information, and acknowledges that, with abatement for the Author's political prejudices, his Memoirs may be adinitted as an authoritative voucher for many important facts. Somerville had found among the papers at Penycuik a copy of the Memoirs, with notes by Sir John Clerk, bart. who was a Commissioner for treating of the Union, and in many points differed in his political principles and conduct from his colleague Mr. Lockbart, so that his annotations may be considered as corrective of any errors into which Mr. L. might fall whilst writing under impressions of party heat, by which the best and most able men are naturally biassed. I have great reason to hope, that G. W. M. will not be disappointed in the expectations he has formed of the Lockhart papers, and that he will be more especially gratified by the perusal of the correspondence with The Chevalier de St. George, and of the detailed adventures of his son. The Work, which will appear towards the close of April, in two quarto volumes, admirably connects with the Stuart and Culloden papers, and |
