"We beg pardon for having given so much space to this incoherent and contradictory boobyism. A labyrinth of igno rance and negligence."-Lon. Quar. Rev., Sept. 1847, 500-525.

To this uncomplimentary criticism Mr. Talbot responded in Lon. Lit. Gazette, Jan. 1, 1848, 1-6, (The Reviewer Reviewed;) and the editor of that periodical reaffirms his admiration of English Etymologies.

"Of late years he [Mr. Talbot] has mainly devoted himself to the work of deciphering the cuneiform inscriptious from the East.”—Men of the Time, 1862, 841.

Talfourd, Francis, eldest son of the succeeding, joined the Oxford Circuit in 1854, and d. at Mentone, March 9, 1862. He gained some reputation as a drama

tist.

"Mr. Talfourd has left the world with little or no adequate witness of his powers,-the travestie and burlesque in which he revelled showing but one, and that the poorer, side of his gay and brilliant intellect."-Lon. Athen., 1862, i. 365.

He was a contributor to several periodicals. Talfourd, Sir Thomas Noon, D.C.L., the son of a brewer of Reading, Berkshire, was b. January 25, 1795, at Doxey, a suburb of the town of Stafford, where his mother (a daughter of Thomas Noon, minister of a congregation of Independents in Reading) was on a visit;

received his education at the Grammar-School of Read

ing, under the Rev. Richard Valpy, D.D.; was subsequently entered of the Middle Temple: in 1813 began the study of the law under Joseph Chitty; in 1817 commenced practice as a special pleader, and was called to the Bar in Hilary Term, 1821; married the daughter of John Towell Rutt (supra) in 1822; applied for a silk gown in 1832, and, not obtaining it, in Hilary Term, 1833, accepted the coif and became Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, (was also for some years Recorder of Banbury ;) M.P. for Reading, 1835, 1837, and 1847 to 1849, when he was appointed successor to Mr. Justice Coltman in the Court of Common Pleas, and received the honour of knighthood; was struck with apoplexy whilst in the act of addressing the Grand Jury from the Bench, at Stafford, March 13, 1854, and d. a few hours afterwards, at his lodgings in that town. As a member of Parliament, he is entitled to the paternity of the Custody of Infants Act, (2 & 3 Viet., c. 54,) and the Copyright Act-introduced by him in 1837, but not passed until 1842, (5 Viet., c. 45,) and then in a modified form, when he was not in the House of Commons.

"His lines are smooth, but some of his opinions are rather enthusiastic.. Nevertheless, we give this writer full credit for the wish which he expresses to advance the cause of religion and morality."-Lon. Month. Rer., Dec. 1811, 436.

2. An Attempt to Estimate the Poetical Talent of the Present Age, 1815, 8vo. One of the first tributes to the genius of Wordsworth. At this early period of his life he also published (anonymously) a number of political and legal pamphlets; and subsequently contributed to the London Magazine, New Monthly Magazine, Retrospective Review, (see SOUTHERN, HENRY,) Edinburgh Review, Quarterly Review, Law Magazine, and Times, (Reports of Circuit Cases.) A number of his articles contributed to the Encyclopædia Metropolitana have since been republished in the Cabinet edition of that work, viz. vol. ix., History of Greek Literature; vol. xv., History of Greece; vol. xix., History of the Roman Republic.

He is one of the authors of the addresses collected in the volume entitled Importance of Literature to Men of Business, 1852, 12mo. He also, about 1826, edited the Practical Guide to the Quarter Sessions, 5th ed., 1841, Svo, (see DICKINSON, WILLIAM,) and has already been noticed (p. 1050, supra) as the Biographer and Editor of his friend Charles Lamb.

The last-cited critic remarks,

lon was

"Altogether, this play may fairly take rank as the pleasing and blameless production of a refined and cultivated mind, amongst the best dramas that have been composed for the closet; but when the author's friends proceeded to proclaim it as a decided work of genius in the highest sense of the term,

they were clearly hurried into a palpable mistake."

President Felton (and there are few higher authorities) pronounced Ion (ubi supra) "the most successful reproduction of the antique spirit with which he was acquainted." See, also, WHITEHEAD, WILLIAM, No. 10. Ion was first brought out for the benefit of Mr. Macready, at Covent Garden Theatre, May 26, 1836, and subsequently acted with success at the Haymarket and other After a sleep, seldom disturbed, of many years, it was revived at Sadler's Wells, Dec. 11, 1861, "for the purpose of introducing Mrs. F. B. Conway as the representative of the temple-youth, the future monarch, and martyr to his country's welfare." (See Lon. Athen., 1861, ii. 813.)

The first edition was reviewed in N. Amer. Rev., Oct. 1843, 333-52, by one of the best erities of the age, Edwin P. Whipple: see, also, his Essays and Reviews, i. 81-102, 109. The N. Brit. Rev. (May, 1856, art. ii.) remarks that, whilst "many of Talfourd's critical essays are remarkable for refinement of observation and frequent felicity of phrase, there is hardly one of them which is brought to a close without being partially impaired by that flux of words which was his bane.'

Brit., 8th ed., xx., Dec. 1860, (by Robert Carruthers.)

"Of all the men whom I have known, after long intercourse with the business of the world, the Serjeant is the one who most preserves, to all outward appearance, the freshness and integrity of his youthful spirits."-THOMAS DE QUINCEY: Lit. Reminis., Bost. ed., ii. 257, (q. v.)

"He was much more than merely a distinguished leader, an eminent judge, or a great ornament of our literature. He had one ruling purpose of his life,-the doing good to his fellowcreatures in his generation. He was eminently courteous and kind, generous, simple-hearted, of great modesty, of the strictest honour, and of spotless integrity."-SIR J. T. COLERIDGE: Charge to the Grand Jury on the day after Tulfourd's sudden

decease.

"I heard the late Lord Chief-Justice Tindal praise him highly for judgment and skill in the management of business. He said he was altogether a successful advocate. No man got more verdicts, and no man more deserved to get them. Talfourd is a generous and kind-hearted man. To men of letters and artists in distress, such as Leigh Hunt, Haydon, &c., he was always very liberal. He did not forget his early friends, and at the large parties he has hitherto delighted to give, poets, players, authors of every kind were to be seen, together with barristers, and now and then judges."-HENRY CRABB ROBINSON: Diary, dc., ed. Bost., 1870, i. 264. See, also, Index.

Tannahill, Robert, a popular writer of Scotch songs, the son of a weaver, and himself a weaver, was b. in Paisley, Scotland, June 3, 1774, and drowned himself, whilst deranged, in a pool in the vicinity of that town, May 17, 1810.

He was a contributor to The Harp of Renfrewshire, a Paisley periodical, and to George Thomson's Select Melodies.

"Some of his songs may be pronounced to be the very perfec: tion of song-writing, so far as that consists in the simple and natural expression of feelings common to all.”—Chambers's and Thomson's Biog. Dict. of Em. Scots., ed. 1855, iv. 363, (q. v. for a notice of Tannahill.)

Among the best-known of his songs (which will be found in many of the modern collections of Scottish poetry) are the Song of the Battle of Vittoria, Gloomy Winter's Now Awa, Loudon's Bonny Woods and Braes, The Braes of Balquhither. The Braes of Gleniffer, and Jessie the Flower o' Dumblane.

Tannehill, Wilkins, was born in Pittsburg, Pa., March 4, 1787. He removed to Lexington, Ky., at an early age, and shortly after to Nashville, Tenn., where he died, June 2, 1858, in the 721 year of his age. Mr. T. early became connected with the periodical press, having been co-editor of the Nashville Whig and other papers. He subsequently edited a new literary and independent paper, entitled The Orthopolitan. He then edited the Port-Folio, a Journal of Free-Masonry, from July, 1848, to June, 1849. The failure of his eyesight, which he lost entirely two or three years before his death, obliged him to discontinue the Journal and to cease from his labours.

Mr. T. was also the author of several works of considerable merit. The one that has had the greatest cir culation, and has passed through several editions, is the

that ancient order from speculative to practical Masonry, -said to be a standard work among Masons. In 1827 he published, at Nashville, Sketches of the History of Literature from the Earliest Period to the Revival of Letters in the 15th Century, in an octavo volume of 344 pages. In 1846 he published, also at Nashville, Sketches of the History of Roman Literature from the Earliest Period to the Accession of Constantine the Great, 12mo of 167 pages. An enlarged edition of the Sketches of Literature was left in MS., and is now in the Library of the Historical Society of Tennessee in the Capitol at Nashville.

Mr. Tannehill was highly esteemed for his many virtues, and may be justly said to have added much to the literary reputation of his adopted city.

Tanner's valuable Bibliotheca,' being written in Latin, is a sealed book to the multitude, and only useful for reference to the more instructed classes. Even for the latter it abounds in errors, mostly copied from the elder bibliographers; there is little attempt at minute criticism, either in dates or facts; and we can see, through many subsequent publications, how largely their compilers have been led astray by adopting them without examining the original authorities and comparing them with the texts they have so carefully copied.”—Edin. Rev., Oct. 1843,
