Brit, page 3116 : note at SS. Compared with this poor small house ; and with its faded hangings of rusty green, how does the splendour of what Versailles was ; how does the pomp of the Escurial shrink ; and how are they obscured, to a vigorous and well- regulated \mderstanding ; and to an active, and generous fancy ! thus compared, to what an insignificance does a Charles the Fifth ; to what an insignificance does a Louis the Fourteenth sink before the august inhabitant of that humble tenement ...! before our moral, and poetical hero !" Pp. 222, 223, In the course of the work, there are many brief and often unsatisfactory discussions of literary questions. A nighty enthusiasm is ill adapted to speculation ; for this will often, in the critical department, require some aid from metaphy- sics, the introduction of which, in any considerable degree, our authors deprecates, with an emphatic condemnation of Lord Kames and his Elements of Criticism. It may be true enough, that Lord Kames had not himself a very delicate taste, and that he and other Northern philosophers some- times extinguish all the charm of literary beauty by an extreme frigidness in their process of inquiring why ifc pleases, and that, in pursuing, this inquiry to the utmost reach of subtilty, they entertain too much contempt for those more obvious laws of feeling, by which any reflective man may ascertain the immediate cause of his pleasure in reading any work of eloquence or true poetry.
