"Goethe's peculiarities may shine out more conspicuously in some of his other works, but in none else are they so collected into a focus."-W. VON HUMBOLDT.

"Goethe is held, by the unanimous voice of Europe, to have been one of the greatest poets of our own or of any other time."WHEWELL.

"Goethe, simple yet profound, united the depth of philosophical
thought to the simplicity of childish affection; and striking with
almost inspired felicity the chord of native affection, produced that
mingled flood of poetic meditation and individual observation which

has rendered his fame unbounded in the Fatherland."-ALISON.

Wigan included in his edit. of Freind's Works his trans. into Latin of Freind's Hist. of Physic. Freind had a controversy with Dr. Woodward in consequence of his (Freind's) pub. of Hippocrates de Morbis Popularibus, and on the subject of the fever in the small-pox. We have already referred to Freind in our articles on ALSOP, ANTHONY; BENTLEY, RICHARD; BOYLE, CHARLES.

"His writings were admired, and the notions he advanced applauded, by the greatest men in the profession throughout Europe, such as Hoffman, in Germany; Helvetius and Hecquet in France; and Boerhaave in Holland: which abundantly demonstrates his abilities in his profession."-Biography in Biog. Brit., q. v. "As to Freind, I have known him long, and cannot be without some partiality for him, since he was of Christ Church. He has excellent parts, is a thorough scholar, and I am told is very able in his profession."-LORD BOLINGBROKE: Letters by Parke.

Freind, Robert, D.D., 1667-1751, of Westminster, brother of the preceding, was also engaged in the famous war about the Epistles of Phalaris. See BENTLEY, RICHARD. He wrote some Latin and English poetry, for which see Nichols's Collection. He also pub. a serm. preached before the House of Commons, 1711, 8vo, and Cicero's Orator, 1724.

further particulars respecting this patriotic poet, we must refer the reader to the source for which we are indebted to the above facts-Griswold's Poets and Poetry of America, 16th ed., Phila., 1855, and to Duyckincks' Cyclopædia of American Literature, New York, 1856. The Reminiscences of Freneau by Dr. John W. Francis, in the valuable work last cited, possess peculiar interest.

"The productions of his pen animated his countrymen in the darkest days of '76, and the effusions of his muse cheered the desponding soldier as he fought the battles of freedom.”—Monmouth Inquirer, 1832.

Dr. Francis of N. York remarks, in relating his reminiscences of Freneau :

"His story of many of his occasional poems was quite romantic. I told him what I had heard Jeffrey, the Scotch reviewer, say of his writings, that the time would arrive when his poetry, like that of Hudibras, would command a commentator like Grey."-From a paper read before the Hist. Soc'y of N. York, by Mr. E. A. Duyckinck. Frere, B. Novels, plays, &c., 1790-1813. Frere, Charles.

His excellent jeu-d'esprit entitled Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work, by Wm. and Robt. Whistlecraft, &c., intended to comprise the most interesting Particulars relating to King Arthur and his Round Table, doubtless suggested to Lord Byron his disreputable poem of Don Juan. The merit of the Whistlecraft poem is very great, and the author could have placed his name among the most distinguished poets of the age, if his ambition had been equal to his genius. His translation of the Saxon poem on the victory of Athelstan at Brunnenburgh, made by him at a very early age, elicited the following enthusiastic commendations from eminent authorities:

"A translation made by a school-boy in the eighteenth century of this Saxon poem of the tenth century into the English of the fourteenth century, is a double imitation, unmatched, perhaps, in literary history, in which the writer gave an earnest of that faculty of catching the peculiar genius and preserving the characteristic manner of his original, which, though the specimens of it be too few, places him alone among English translators."-Sir James Mackintosh's Hist. of Eng.

See

"I have only met, in my researches into these matters, with one poem which, if it had been produced as ancient, could not have been detected on internal evidence. It is the War Song upon the victory at Brunnanburgh, translated from the Anglo-Saxon into Anglo-Norman, by the Right Hon. John Hookham Frere. Ellis's Specimens of English Poetry, vol. i. p. 32. The accomplished editor tells us, that this very singular poem was intended as an imitation of the style and language of the fourteenth century, and was written during the controversy occasioned by the poems attributed to Rowley. Mr. Ellis adds-The reader will probably hear with some surprise that this singular instance of critical ingenuity was the composition of an Eton schoolboy."-SIR WALTER SCOTT: Essay on Imitation of the Ancient Ballads, (written in 1830;) see

Poetical Works.

Freneau, Philip, 1752-1832, a native of New York, descended of a French Protestant family, entered Nassau Hall, Princeton, New Jersey, in 1767, and graduated in 1771. Whilst residing in New York, in 1774 or 1775, he commenced writing those poetical satires on the royalists and their cause which have transmitted his name to posterity. In 1776 he visited the Danish West Indies, where he wrote two of his principal poems, The House of Night, and The Beauties of Santa Cruz. Two years later he was at Bermuda. In 1779 he was engaged in editorial labours in Philadelphia, having the superintendence of the United States Magazine, pub. by Francis Bailey. He subsequently became a sea-captain, and made many voyages between 1784 and 1789, and 1798 and 1809. In 1797 he commenced the publication in New York of The Time Piece and Literary Companion-a short-lived periodical,-and displayed considerable ability in its literary management. He was for some time Translating Clerk in the Department of State under Thomas Jefferson, and editor of the Na-Ellis, who had quoted Frere's opinion, tional Gazette. The attacks upon General Washington's administration which appeared in this paper are to be attributed to Jefferson and his clerk, if the latest assertions of the latter are to be believed. After leading a wandering life, and engaging in many literary undertakings, he perished in a snow-storm, in his 80th year, Dec. 18, 1832, near Freehold, New Jersey. In 1786, Mr. Bailey pub. at Philadelphia the first collection of Freneau's poems, in a vol. of upwards of 400 pages. A second ed. appeared in 1795, and a third in 1809. A collection of his poems connected with the war of 1812, and other subjects, written

Some interesting particulars connected with Frere, who was one of the founders of the London Quar. Rev. and a contributor to the Etonian and the Anti-Jacobin, will be found in Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott, and in Lon. Gent. Mag., March and April, 1846. Frere expressed a warm admiration of Scott's Sir Tristrem, declaring it to be "The most interesting work that has yet been published on the subject of our earlier poets, and, indeed, such a piece of literary antiquity as no one could have, à priori, supposed to exist." This eulogy delighted Scott greatly, and he wrote to

"Frere is so perfect a master of the ancient style of composition, that I would rather have his suffrage than that of a whole synod of your vulgar antiquaries.”—Ubi supra; and see Southey's Life and Corresp., and Miss Mitford's Recollec. of a Lit. Life.

Mr. Frere died at his residence in the Pieta Malta, where he had lived for a number of years.
