Mauthe Doog would follow him, as it had done the others; for he would try if it were dog or devil. After having talked in a very reprobate manner for some time, he snatched up the keys, and went out of the guard-room: in some time after his departure, a great noise was heard, but nobody had the boldness to see what occasioned it, till, the adventurer returning, they demanded the knowledge of him; but as loud and noisy as he had been at leaving them, he was now become sober and silent enough; for he was never heard to speak more: and though, all the time he lived, which was three days, he was entreated by all who came near him, either to speak, or, if he could not do that, to make some signs, by which they might understand what had happened to him; yet nothing intelligible could be got from him, only that, by the distortion of his limbs and features, it might be guessed that he died in agonies more than is common in a natural death.

:

"The Mauthe Doog was, however, never after seen in the castle, nor would any one attempt to go through that passage; for which reason it was closed up, and another way made. This accident happened about threescore years since and I heard it attested by several, but especially by an old soldier, who assured me he had seen it oftener than he had then hairs on his head."-WALDRON'S Description of the Isle of Man, p.107.

And he a solemn sacred plight

Did to St Bryde of Douglas make.

St. XXVIII. p. 202.

This was a favourite saint of the house of Douglas, and of the Earl of Angus in particular; as we learn from the following passage: The Queen-regent had proposed to raise a rival noble to the ducal dignity; and discoursing of her purpose with Angus, he answered, “Why not, madam? we are happy that have such a princess, that can know and will acknowledge men's services, and is willing to recompence it: But, by the might of God, (this was his oath when he was serious and in anger; at other times, it was by St Bride of Douglas) if he be a Duke, I will be a Drake !"-So she desisted from prosecuting of that purpose.-GODSCROFT, Vol. II. p. 131.

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY.

Countries, from the latter Part of the Reign of Edward II to the Coronation of Henry IV. Newly translated from the French Editions, with Variations and Additions from many celebrated MSS By THOMAS JOHNES, Esq. M. P. To which is prefixed, a Life of the Author, an Essay on his Works, a Criticism on his History, and a Dissertation on his Poetry. The Second Edition, in 12 vols. 8vo. Price 7. 48. in Boards.

"Froissart is an historian consulted and cited by every writer whose subject leads him to the period in which he wrote; he is the chief, if not the only authentic source of information we are pos sessed of with regard to one of the proudest and most striking por tions of our national annals. The engravings from old illuminated MSS. which accompany the present portion of the work, are useful as well as curious ornaments. As the authenticity of the sources from which they are taken cannot be doubted, they present valuable pictures of the costume of the times. We consider the translation of Froissart's Chronicles by Mr. Johnes as an undertaking of great importance, and even of high national interest." Crit. Rev. "Even the readers of novels and romances, if ever they have in the course of their lives read any thing of real history, must be gratified and even charmed with Froissart, for there is as inuch gallantry, love, and adventure in the Chronicles of Froissart as in any romance, Don Quixote scarcely excepted. Froissart's Cironicles absolutely afford more amusement of this kind, were the instruction to be derived from matter of fact and truth entirely out of the question." Anti Fac. "The Chronicles of Froissart have held a distinguished place for centuries in the libraries of the curious. He has engaged more of the public attention than any historian of the age in which he lived." Lit. Jour.

"These interesting papers will gratify all who delight in the con-
templation of human character, and are sensible to the charms of
intellectual and moral excellence." Ecl. Rev.
"As a politi-

cal record we regard this work as a valuable addition to our stock of
original documents; but perhaps its greatest merit will be allowed
to rest on its excellency as a literary composition. The story is in-
teresting in the highest degree. The editor has not exaggerated
when he recommends his book to the ladies as more entertaining
than most novels. The style is undoubtedly entitled to the praise of
vigour and elegance, and will not be easily matched among the writ-
ings of our elder authors." Crit. Rev. "This work is indeed
a most valuable addition to the historical records of a period which
has always been considered as one of the most important in the an-
nals of English History." Ox. Rev.

lar interest and importance." Cens. Lit,

"Mr. Bigland displays in this volume a well cultivated and comprehensive mind. His style is generally correct; his information is extensive; and the many pertinent remarks and inferences with which he has enriched this summary of general history, meet our cordial approbation. A. Rev. We are well pleased with this i publication. It is a useful undertaking, well executed" Brit. Crit.

THE HISTORY OF THE REIGN OF GEORGE III. to the Termination of the late War. To which is pretixed, a View of the Progressive Improvement of England, in Prosperity and Strength, to the Accession of his Majesty. By ROBERT BISSET, LL D.

In 6 vols. 8vo. Price 2. 12s. 6d. in Boards. "Dr. Bisset's History is highly praiseworthy-it narrates with greater detail and completeness than Macfarlane, Beisham, or Adolphus, the transactions of the present reign." The style is natural, yet elegant, the information abundant, yet select; the criticism loyal, yet liberal. In short, it appears to us more likely than any of the rival histories to annex itself to Hume and Smollett, as the regular and generally received continuation of the History of England." An. Kev. "We must recommend

this as a work replete with both information and amusement-and while it is free from any spirit of party, it breathes throughout a firm attacament to tempered freedom and the spirit of the British Constitution, a sincere regard for the British character, and a just veneration for the rights of reason, of religion, and morality."

"The interesting nature of this work has forced us to exceed our
intended limits. To the design and to the execution we must give
applause, as being in no mean degree useful and meritorious. It
is a work of utility and merit." Crit. Rev. "The Author seems
to have executed the work not only with fidelity and a regard to
truth, but also with ability and judgment." Brit. Crit.
memoirs are well calculated for affording the Public both interesting
amusement and much useful information, and the greatest advan-
tage to naval officers, and particularly young gentlemen of that
profession." Anti Fac. "We cannot but remark, that the mind
is lost in wonder while contemplating the mass of beroic deeds,
and the number of brilliant exploits, which are collected together
within the compass of these volumes. The author has executed a
Jaborious task, and has established a claim to the acknowledgments
of his country. He has manifested remarkable diligence in the
collection of materials; yet we do not believe that the writer's par-
tiality has induced him in a single instance to suppress any fact
within the fair scope of his memoirs, or wilfully to misrepresent
any one which he has undertaken to relate." M. Rev.
of Dr. Beatson is characterized by fairness and impartiality, and
he has well performed the task which he has undertaken." An. Rev.

"of Mr. Tooke's abilities to produce judicious compilations and selections, and of the great facility he possesses in presenting to the public books calculated for amusement and instruction, they tell us they have had frequent and satisfactory experience. The lite of Catharine II. and the View of the Russian Empire exhibit adequate portions of good sense, diligence, and taste, and have accordingly been received with very extensive circulation. They contain an ample variety of anecdote, which the author seems peculiarly qualified to detail; a great deal of local information, which his long residence in Russia enabled him to acquire; and an easy and agrecable narrative, the result of much experience in writing. By means of the labours of this indefatigable author, we are now in possession of every species of knowledge and information relative to a vast empire." See the several Reviews for 1801, 1802.

"We have been gratified with Mr. Gordon's performances. The story flows with ease and spirit, and the general style of the compo sition may be termed manly and correct.

The Monthly Reviewers in their Criticism on this valuable work, which has been long out of print, and exceedingly scarce, observe, "That the Roman History of this judicious and masterly writer is a most valuable accession to the stock of historical learn ing. That the execution of the work is equal throughout. That Mr. Hooke seems to have possessed in a very eminent degree, the rare talent of separating the partizan from the historian, of which few writers are capable, and of comparing contradictory autho rities with impartiality and penetration. He does not appear to have been a bigot to any principles, or a slave to any authority."

A few Copies are printed in royal 8vo. with first Impressions of the Plates. Price 74. 7s. in Boards.

This Edition of a justly celebrated Work, is printed from a correct Copy, intended for the Press at the Time of the Author's Death. The Use of all his Original Journals, Correspondence, Manuscripts, &c.; the concurring Testimonies of later Travellers; along with various other Circumstances, have enabled the Editor to render the Work more complete and interesting than Mr. Bruce himself would have condescended to make it.

"Bruce's Travels is one of those few publications which at its first appearance engaged our incessant perusal, and we then thought it a very useful, entertaining, and interesting work. The present edition is greatly superior to the former. We are of opinion, that in the general discharge of his oflice, the editor has erected a truly honourable monument to the memory of his principal, and has laid the literary world under considerable obligations to his own assiduity and intelligence." Ecl. Rev. would be poor and inadequate praise to say, that it has seldom or never fallen to our lot to notice a book so ably edited. We believe no editor ever before so laboriously qualified himself for his undertaking." An. Rev.

In the Work are given forty-three coloured Plates, taken from accurate Drawings, made on the Spot, by the Author, and chiefly engraved by Mr. Medland. The Work is designed to afford an Opportunity to such as have not visited the Country, of forming their own opinions of the Topography of Homer.

"We recommend this work of Mr. Gell as one of the most honourable monuments which has been erected to the most ancient,

the first and best of Poets; as one of the most acceptable and illustrious works that have appeared since the desire of visiting the froad has revived, and we have no scruple to class him among those in the first rank, who have done credit to their country, as men of talents, elegance, and discernment."

Anti Fac. "We have found so many lively and pleasant exhibitions of manners, so many. amusing and interesting anecdotes, and so many observations and reflections, gay and grave, sportive and sentimental (all expressed in a gay and familiar style) better suited to the purpose than sentences laboured with artificial exactness, that we cannot but recommend it to our readers as a highly amusing and interesting performance."

The style is easy and simple, and the letters are highly deserving perusal.
