Two Notices of the Author of the FRENCH REVOLUTION from the TIMES and GLOBE.

"LECTURES ON GERMAN LITERATURE.-Mr. Thomas Carlyle delivered yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, the first of a series of lectures on German literature, before a numerous audience, amongst whom were many persons distinguished in the world of ank as well as letters. There is, perhaps, no individual in this empire more competent to a task at once so arduous and so interesting, from his deep and extensive knowledge of the capacity, the tendencies, the history, and productions of the German mind, illustrated by successive labours of illustrious men, from the dawn of literature, in what Mr. Carlyle terms their primeval' country, to its consummation in the age and works of Goethe. The learned gentleman (neither divine nor lawyer by profession, but, in the best sense, a learned' man) put forth views upon the origin of the early history, the growth, and characteristics of the German people, following them downwards, and involving in them those of the Saxon race, the English, the North

"MR. CARLYLE'S LECTURES.-We were hindered by other matters from taking particular notice of the commencement of Mr. Carlyle's lectures, at Willis's Rooms, on German literature. We have now to speak of their termination; the course, as first announced, having been limited to six lectures, and a seventh having been added yesterday, in some manner to complete the subject. Mr. Carlyle, however, concluded by stating that he had much to say which remained unsaid; and his audience believed and regretted it. These lectures had a numerous and distinguished attendance; and those hearers who had not previously been acquainted with Mr. Carlyle's writings, must have received much and most valuable instruction in literature and philosophy, conveyed in a form which had the advantage of coming fresh from a genial mind, and being inspired manifestly by unborrowed convictions. If Mr. Carlyle is not eloquent in the sense of studied smoothness and fluency, he has the eloquence of thought and feeling, and of their unstudied expression. No person who heard him could suppose for a moment that he would ever waste time in rounding periods or clothing his ideas in choice phrases. Indeed, it might be said of him, as of an orator of Irish renown, that he left the brats to take care of themselves, mostly without a rag to cover them. In this, as in many qualities, Mr. Carlyle resembles the primitive sort of German professors. Not fine French-polished gentry, like A.W. Schlegel, but the simpler school of genuine German thinkers, of whom there are still some extant.

[ocr errors][merged small]

Americans, the white rulers of India and new colonial proprietors of the vast Eastern Archipelago, which were at once curious, bold, and comprehensive, with here and there incidental streaks of light from a vivid and fine imagination, which relieved while they contrasted with the unpretending simplicity and untrained but touching homeliness of his style and manner. Mr. Carlyle would be pronounced, even by those who had nowhere seen him but in this accustomed theatre, to be a man of keen research, of independent and original powers of thought, of a genius fitted to grapple with difficulties, and to handle vigorously materials unwieldy and intractable. Those who have the advantage of knowing him elsewhere than in a lecture-room cannot but feel the most cordial interest in the success of a man so endeared, by the vir tues of his private character, to all who know, in such a world as this, the value of truth, generosity, and honour." -Times, May 2.

be popular, unless where it is aided by his oral delivery, and is felt to be appropriate to the mind of the man. We should, however, if we were to advise Mr. Carlyle, recommend him to correct in his writings the exuberance of his peculiar forms of speech and sentiment. Perhaps he would answer, that a man's style, like his nose, is his own-which is undeniable.

The following are the remarks of Miss Martineau :'No living writer exercises so enviable a sway (in America), as far as it goes, as Mr. Carlyle. It is remarkable that an influence like his should have been gained through scattered articles of review and speculation, spread over a number of years and a variety of periodicals. The Ame ricans have his Life of Schiller;' but it was not that. His articles in the Edinburgh Review met the wants of se veral of the best minds in the society of New England; minds weary of cant and mechanical morals, and seeking something truer to rest upon. The discipleship immediately instituted is honourable to both. Mr. Carlyle's remarkable work, Sartor Resartus,' issued piecemeal through FRASER'S MAGAZINE, has been republished in America, and is exerting an influence proportioned to the genuineness of the admiration it has excited. Perhaps this is the first instance of the Americans having taken to their hearts an English work which came to them anonymously, unsanctioned by any recommendation, and even absolutely neglected at home.

The book is acting upon them with wonderful force. It has regenerated the preaching of more than one of the clergy; and, I have reason to believe, the minds and lives of several of the laity. It came as a benefactor to meet a pressing want; how pressing, the benefitted tes tify by the fervour of their gratitude.'"-Globe, May 27.

NOTES ON CHURCH ARCHITECTURE.

BY WILLIAM BARDWELL, ARCHITECT.

"A beautiful and valuable work, got up with much taste, and full of information. The illustrations are very numerous and interesting; and the notes, well digested, give an insight into the history of almost every remarkable temple erected to Jehovah from the earliest periods. The accounts of those of the middle ages are peculiarly acceptable; but the whole, in spirit, in detail, in execution, and in instruction for the future architect, deserves

the highest approbation and public patronage."-Literary Gazette.

"We have read this work with attention, and were pleased with many of the suggestions the author makes for improving the style of church architecture. Those who are about to erect a church themselves, or to join with others, we think might derive some information from a similar perusal."- Record.

RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART. M.P.
RIGHT HON. SIR HENRY HARDINGE, M.P.
RIGHT HON. FREDERICK SHAW, M.P.

The following are a few of the Notices of this magnificent Work :-
"This very splendid publication is just started: the
specimen we have seen is beautiful."-The Times.

"Fraser has just issued a splendid national tribute to the talents and virtues of the eminent Conservative statesmen of Britain. Whether we look upon it as a fitting memento of the exertions of the able and high-minded men whom it is specially intended to honour, or as a work of art entitled to the patronage of all classes of politicians, we cannot but predict for it most extensive popularity."-Blackburn Standard.

The merit of the design is commensurate with the splendour of the execution artistically considered. We heartily recommend the work to the friends of the British constitution in particular, and of the higher order of the fine arts in general."-Sheffield Mercury.

"We predict that this will be one of the most admired and successful, as it is certainly one of the most splendid and imposing, publications of the day. Engraving, paper, and letter-press, the highest in their respective qualities that could possibly be procured; the size, a fine imperial folio, and the whole thrown off with the greatest delicacy of workmanship; this collection, when complete, will form an ornament to the library and the drawing-room of sterling value and beauty."-Liverpool Courier.

"Such a publication has long been wanting; and the admirable manner in which Mr. Ryall has set about supplying the deficiency cannot but gain for him the best thanks, not only of Conservatives in particular, but of the lovers of art in general."-Bath Chronicle.

"The very title of this work must recommend it to the notice of all who appreciate the eminent services of those statesmen who, in the revolutionary era in which we live, have distinguished themselves by their attachment to the constitution, and their defence of our institutions in church and state."-Manchester Courier.

"This splendid work will undoubtedly find its way to the library-table of every Conservative gentleman who values the institutions of his country, and proportionably appreciates the talented efforts of those who strenuously defend them."-Maidstone Journal.

"At a period like the present, when a taste for illustrated works is so universal, the beauty of this work will, we doubt not, insure its admission into the collection even of the Whigs and Radicals; but the drawing-room of no Conservative nobleman or gentleman can be considered complete without it."-Stockport Advertiser.

"As a work of pictorial art, it leaves all competition at an immeasurable distance behind. 'Lodge's Portraits are gems, but they fade into insignificance by the side of the splendid engravings that embellish this admirable and splendid production of art."-Carmarthen Journal.

"The portraits are the perfection of engraving; and we never saw stipple employed so beautifully, and to such advantage. The introduction of the coat-arms of the parties is a happy embellishment; and, with the memoirs, completes our most favourable opinion of this design."Literary Gazette.

"In point of economy it is, we think, the ne plus ultra of perfection. Three beautifully executed portraits, with twelve accompanying pages of letter-press, in folio size, for a charge of twelve shillings! This must insure success."-Shipping Gazette.

"We like to become familiar with the master-spirits of the age; to learn not only their language, but their features; to see them as they stand before their compeers, the pride and confidence of England.”—Carlisle Patriot. SIX NUMBERS WILL APPEAR YEARLY, EACH NUMBER CONTAINING THREE PORTRAITS, WITH TWELVE PAGES OF LETTER-PRESS; AND THE WORK, IT IS EXPECTED, WILL BE COMPLETED IN TWENTY-FOUR NUMBERS.
