The defcription of Vulcan leaving his forge, and dreffing to receive the vifit of Thetis, is not remarkable for its delicacy in the original but, in the hands of Mr. C., it degenerates, we think, into coarse vulgarity:

We now proceed, with great fatisfaction, to the discharge of a more agreeable part of our duty; and we shall point out a few of the numerous paffages in the work before us, which we have perufed with genuine delight and approbation.

The fublime defcription of Pallas arming for the battle, in the fifth book of the Iliad, is, we think, tranflated with great fpirit. The original paffage is too long to be quoted: but he who refers to it will find, that Mr. C.'s translation is more faithful, and at the fame time not lefs poetical, than that of Mr. Pope.

Meantime, Minerva, progeny of Jove,

On the adamantine floor of his abode
Let fall profufe her variegated robe,
Labour of her own hands. She first put on
The corflet of the clould-affembler God,
Then arm'd her for the field of woe complete.
She charged her shoulder with the dreadful fhield
The fhaggy Agis, border'd thick around
With terrour; there was Difcord, Prowefs there,
There hot Purfuit, and there the feature grim
Of Gorgon, dire Deformity, a fign
Oft' borne portentous on the arm of Jove.
Her golden helm, whofe concave had suffic'd
The legions of an hundred cities, rough
With warlike ornament fuperb, the fix'd

On her immortal head. Thus armed, the rofe
Into the flaming chariot, and her fpear
