straw for its being said that I am in love with one of them, people shall choose which it is as much with both as either, and I am infinitely too old to regard the qu'en dit-on,"

"And why should he," writes Mary Berry to a friend, "when, without the trouble or the ridicule of a marriage, he enjoys almost as much of my society, and every comfort from it, that he could in the nearest connexion? As the willing offering of a grateful and affectionate heart, the time and attentions I bestow upon him have hitherto given me pleasure. Were they to become a duty, and a duty to which the world would attribute interested motives, they would become irksome." Doubtless she would have refused any proffer of the kind: her heart belonged to General O'Hara. To our references we add Pegge's Anec. of the Eng. Lang., ed. by Rev. H. Christmas, Appendix iii.: Notes from a MS. of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, on the Names of Localities in London, 1844, 8vo; Lon. Quar.

Nor must I omit to notice: Lettres de la Marquise du Deffand à Horace Walpole, écrites dans les Années 1766 à 1780, auxquelles sont jointes des Lettres de Madame du Deffand à Voltaire, écrites dans les Années 1759 à 1775, publiées d'après les originaux déposés à Strawberry-Hill: Nouvelle Elition, augmentée des Extraits des Lettres d'Horace Walpole, (revue et complétée sur l'édition originale de Londres, 1810,) et précédées d'une Notice sur Madame du Deffand par M. A. Thiers, Paris, Firmin Didot, 1864, 2 vols.

"The bibliographical history of the letters addressed to Horace Walpole is worth a passing notice. He left them, when he died, to his friend Miss Mary Berry, by whom they were published in London in 1810, [4 vols. 8vo.] The following year they were also published in Paris; and since then there have been, we believe, three editions, the last in 1827. It was to that of 1824 that M. Thiers, who was then winning his literary spurs, wrote the biographical notice reprinted as a preface to the two volumes we have before us."-Lon. Reader, 1861, ii. 320.

The first French edition is dated 1812, 4 vols. 8vo; the 2d ed., 1824, (with a new title-page, 1827,) 4 vols. 8vo. The London edition was reviewed in Elin. Rev., Feb. 1811, 290-311, and in Lon. Quar. Rev., May. 1811, 498528, (by J. W. Croker.) This beautiful, brilliant, frivolous, and unprincipled old woman died in 1780, aged 83. May her "tribe" decrease!

Walpole, Horatio, Lord Walpole, brother of Sir Robert Walpole, and also a distinguished statesman, was b. 1678, and d. 1757. He was the author of Answer to the Latter Part of Bolingbroke's Letters on the Study of History, Lon., 1762, sm. 4to, privately printed, 2d ed., 1763, Svo, and of some anonymous political pamphlets pub. 1730 et seq. His Letter on Proposed Alterations of the Thirty-Nine Articles, written in 1751, was pub. King's Lynn, 1863, 8vo. See Park's Walpole's R. and N. Authors, iv. 225; Smollett's Eng., Reign Geo.

Walpole, Sir Robert, first Earl of Orford, brother of the preceding, and an eminent statesman, was b. 1676, and d. 1745. He was the author of twelve or more pamphlets, (q. v. in Park's Walpole's R. and N. See Authors, iv. 196,) and aided in or revised others. Crit.

"The prudence, steadiness, and vigilance of that man, joined to the greatest possible lenity in his character and his politics, preserved the crown to this royal family, and with it their laws and liberties to this country."-EDMUND BURKE: Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs, 1791, 8vo.

"Few men ever reached and maintained for so many years the highest station which the citizen of a free state can hold, who have enjoyed more power than Sir Robert Walpole, and who have left behind them less just cause of blame, or more monuments of the wisdom and virtue for which his country has to thank him."-LORD BROUGHAM: Elin. Rev., 1xxi. 179. "He retired, after more than twenty years of supreme power, with a temper not soured, with a heart not hardened, with simple tastes, with frank manners, and with a capacity for friend ship. No stain of treachery, of ingratitude, or of cruelty rests on his memory."-LORD MACAULAY: Edin. Rev., lviii. 242. "The fact of a man with an estate of about 20007, a year at first, and which never rose to much above 40001., having lived extravagantly, and amassed above 200,000, is not at all explained by Mr. Coxe; and it is mainly on this expensive living and accumulation of fortune that the suspicions which hang over his memory rest."-LORD BROUGHAM: States. Time of Geo. III., ed. 1855, i. 312, n.

But hear something on the other side:

"His enemies pay him the compliment of saying, 'They do believe now that he did not plunder the public, as he was accused (as they accused him) of doing, he having died in such circumstances.' It is certain he is dead very poor: his debts, with his legacies, which are trifling, amount to fifty thousand pounds."-Horace Walpole to Sir H. Mann, April 15 1745: Letters, ed. 1861, i. 349.

"He was born to 2500, a year, left a nominal estate of 80001.. and died 50,000l. in debt."-To Rev. W. Mason, April 18, 1777: Letters, ut supra, vi. 430.

"My father's whole collection, [of pictures,] of which alone he had preserved the prices, cost but 40,000l., and after his death there were three sales of pictures, among which were all the long-lengths of Vandyke but three."-To Rev. W. Cole, July 12, 1779: Letters, ut supra, vii. 227.

The remainder of the collection was, in 1779, sold to the Emperor of Russia for £40,555. So there was a great profit on the pictures. Horace describes his late father-or, to be perfectly safe, I will say the late premier -in terms which provoke a smile:

"To conform myself to the views of the excellent man, the glory of human nature, who made us all what we are, has been constantly one of the principal objects of my whole life. . . . My father is ever before my eyes,-not to attempt to imitate him, for I have none of his matchless wisdom, or unsullied virtue, or heroic firmness; but sixty-two years have taught me to gaze on him with ten thousand times the reverence that-I speak it with deep shame-I felt for him at twenty-two, when he stood before me."-To the Earl of Orford, Oct. 5, 1778, and to Sir H. Mann, Aug. 19, 1779: Letters, ut supra, vii. 132, 243. See, also, 483, viii. 531, ix. 486.

"After much unjust abuse heaped upon him, there seems now to be a great disposition to bestow upon him unqualified praise. He was probably the most dexterous party-leader we have ever had.-equally skilled to win royal favour, to govern the House of Commons, and to influence, or be influenced by, public opinion."-LORD CAMPBELL: Lives of the Lord Chancellors: Lord Hardwicke, ch. exxxiv., n., (q. v.)

"But certainly the most remarkable example of the evils produced by popular interference with the foreign policy of the State is afforded by the Spanish armament at the close, and which occasioned the close, of Sir Robert Walpole's glorious, because peaceful, administration; and this, as already remarked, produced by party. The public voice was raised by the incenis also the most glaring instance upon record of the mischiefs tives of faction to clamour for war, or at least to complain of alleged maltreatment experienced by smugglers in the Spanish Settlements, marauding under the English flag. Walpole was driven from power and succeeded by his adversaries, who after

wards declared privately, as Mr. Burke has recorded, that their only motive for raising the outcry against keeping the peaco was the hopelessness of being enabled by any other means to overthrow his long-continued ministry."-LORD BROUGHAM: Hist. and Polit. Dissert, ed. 1857, 95.

"He cared for letters no more than his master did: he judged human nature so meanly that one is ashamed to have to ow that he was right, and that men could be corrupted by means so base. But with his hireling House of Commons he defended liberty for us; with his incredulity he kept Church-craft down. There were parsons at Oxford as double-dealing and dangerous as any priests out of Rome; and he routed them both. He gave Englishmen no conquests, but he gave them peace, and ease, and freedom; the three per cents nearly at par, and wheat at five and six and twenty shillings a quarter."-THACKERAY: George the Second.

Let us leave him with a good word:

"He was far from governing by corruption. He governed by party attachments. The charge of systematic corruption is less applicable to him, perhaps, than to any minister who ever served the crown for so great a length of time."-EDMUND BURKE: Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs.

He was the friend of Dryden, and encouraged the youthful muse of Pope; and both of these great poets have sung his praises:

William Walsh, of Abberley, Esq., who has so long honoured me with his friendship, and who, without flattery, is the best critic of our nation."-DRYDEN: Postscript to Virgil.

Walsingham, or Walsinghamus, Thomas, a monk of the Benedictine abbey of St. Alban's, (“and very probably regius professor of history in that monastery about the year 1440" Bishop Nicolson,) was the author of two valuable historical works: 1. Historia Brevis, ab Edwardo Primo ad Henricum Quintum, Lon., 1574, fol. 2. Ypodigma Neustriæ vel Normanniæ, ab Irruptione Normannorum usque ad Annum sextum Regni Henrici Quinti, 1574, fol. These (Nos. 1 and 2) are two of the three portions, (the third is Elfredi Regis Res Gestæ,) each paged separately, of a volume edited and pub. by Archbishop Parker. See Dibdin's Typ. Antiq., and his Lib. Comp. Both are also contained in Camden's Anglica, Normannica, Hibernica, Cambrica, à Veteribus Scripta, Francf., 1603, fol.

"His short history begins at the conclusion of Henry III.'s reign, where Matthew Paris ended his; and he might well seem to be Paris's continuator, were his language answerable to his matter. The account he gives is well enough, and we are indebted to him for many things not taken notice of by any other writer of those times. Indeed, his reign of King Edward II. is wholly borrowed from Sir Thomas de la More. His Hypodigma Neustriæ, as he calls it, has a more particular regard to the affairs of Normandy."-BP.

He was also chaplain to Charles I. Having espoused the side of the clergy in the London tithe dispute, (see BREWSTER, SAMUEL, and Abstract of Dr. Walton's Treatise on the Payment of Tithes and Oblations in London, Lon., 1641, 1662, 4to,) he became obnoxious to the Puritans, who sequestered his livings and forced him to fly to Oxford, a fortunate event, as he thus gained leisure for the preparation of the great work with which his name will ever be honourably connected. Soon after the Restoration he was appointed Chaplain to Charles II.,. and, Dec. 2, 1660, consecrated Bishop of Chester. He was installed Sept. 11, 1661, and d. in London, Nov. 29 of the same year.
