individual in half the great towns of England. There is not enough of originality or peculiarity in any of the numbers that we have seen to give the work a character.

The Eclectic Review. 8vo. 2s. 6d. Now in the XIVth Volume of the New Series. This Journal is now in the hands of the Calvinistic Dissenters. In its general articles, it is equal in ability to any of the Monthly Reviews; in attachment to the principles of liberty, it surpasses them all. The cause of Protestant Dissent is frequently vindicated with judgment and spirit. To party interest is perhaps to be ascribed the unmerited eulogium sometimes bestowed on miserable theological publications, and the affected contempt which has heretofore been manifested towards Unitarians.

The Antijacobin Review. 8vo. 2s. 6d. Now in the LVIIIth Volume. From the title, it might be inferred that this is a low Tory journal. Scurrilous abuse is perpetually poured by it on Whigs and Reformers, Dissenters, Roman Catholics and Unitarians. One part of it, under the title of The Protestant Advocate, is of the nature of a political magazine, directed principally against the Roman Catholics. Out of what fund the expense of this work is defrayed, is a secret; the public are certainly not guilty of supporting it by their subscriptions.

The Edinburgh Review. 8vo. 68. Now in the XXXIVth Volume. Mr. Jeffrey, the Barrister, is the Editor. The circulation has been, and probably is, unparalleled for a work of such a size. The writer of the article Edinburgh, in the Supplement to Encyclop. Brittan., states it to be 15000 copies. The political principles of this Journal are those of the Whig aristocracy. On topics of political economy it has eminently distinguished itself, and has diffused a mass of information amongst the public. Its popularity is owing to a new and spirited style of writing, which it is difficult to describe, and to its plan of cutting up authors who are so unfortunate as to fall under its displeasure. Some grievous wrongs and acknowledged palpable errors have been committed by it in this way. From the failure, too, of certain of its political predictions, it seems to have grown weary of such speculations. The late numbers have not answered

the expectations of those of its readers who look to it only for what is smart and piquant. There is something ludicrous in the Editor's custom of inserting in a professed Review, dissertations unconnected with books, and leaving the printer or bookseller to put at the head of them the titles of some new work or works, which may or may not have a relation to the subjects discussed. The earlier volumes of this Journal were indebted to the pens of Mr. Brougham and the late Mr. Horner; and amongst its contributors are named Sir James Mackintosh, the Rev. Sydney Smith, Mr. Campbell, (the poet,) and Mr. Mill, the historian of India.

The Quarterly Review. 8vo. 68. Now in the XXIIIrd Volume. The Editor is Mr. Gifford, the Satirist. The sale has been increasing from the commencement of the work, and is now probably little inferior to that of the Edinburgh. It was set up to counteract that work, and the projectors have been most fortunate in their writers. Various articles have been attributed to Mr. Canning, Mr. Croker and Mr. Bloomfield; but Mr. Southey is the never-failing writer. His richly-endowed pen may be traced in every number. In politics, the Quarterly Review is slavishly and ridiculously Ministerial; in religion, it is of the old high-church party; its economical essays are as much below as its classical are above those of the Edinburgh. The Quarterly jeers at Reformers; looks superciliously upon Dissenters; expresses special hatred of Unitarians; praises all kings, but particularly kings for the time being; is actuated by a chivalrous spirit towards Queens, unless they be out of favour with their husbands, or in favour with the people; has a great dread of the press; feels deep reverence for Parliamentary majorities; and casts a longing look upon the lost superstitions of the Church of Rome, which impelled the people to behave lowly and reverently to their betters.

The British Review, and London Critical Journal. 8vo. 6s. Now in the XVIth Volume. This is perhaps the most zealous and seemingly honest Tory Journal which is published. The conductors are attached to Ministers only as they believe them to be the supporters of Passive-Obedience and Non-Resistance principles. In religion,

they are of course stiff Churchmen, but not of the old Tory school: they are as high Calvinists as the contributors to the Evangelical Magazine. They represent, we suppose, a section of the Wilberforce or Evangelical Church party. The work displays respectable talents.

The Retrospective Review, consisting of Criticisms upon, Analyses of, and Extracts from, curious, useful and valuable Books in all Languages, which have been published from the Revival of Literature to the Commencement of the Present Century. 8vo. 5s. Now in the IInd Volume. A work on this plan may be made the most interesting of all publications; and the proprietors of this publication seem to have able writers about them who can sustain the reputation of literature; but if they take the titles of old books merely as mottos for essays, what avails their title or their plan?

The Gospel Magazine, and Theolo gical Review. 8vo. 9d. Now in the Vth Volume; but there has been some work or other under this title for many years. The present publication is for the benefit of Ultra-Calvinists, sometimes called Antinomians. It is unintelligible to all but the disciples of the Supralapsarian school. The execution is on a level with the design.

The Christian Remembrancer; or, The Churchman's Biblical, Ecclesiastical and Literary Miscellany. 8vo. 1s. 6d. Now in the IInd Volume. The design of this work, like that of the Bartlett's Buildings' Society, is the defence and promotion of "all and every thing_contained in the Book of Common Prayer." It is, however, neither literary nor popular, but a dull compilation of Church-of-England common-places.

The Bon Ton Magazine. 8vo. 1s. 6d. Now in the Vth Volume. This is scarcely a respectable work. The caricature prints and its anti-govern ment politics alone, we apprehend, keep it up.

GLEANINGS; OR, SELECTIONS AND REFLECTIONS MADE IN A COURSE

No. CCCLXXII.
Speculative Jacobitism.

The controversy between the two families (the Stuart and the Hanover)

and their partisans is wholly laid at rest, by the course of nature, indeed, as well as of political events; and long ago it ceased to be at all a practical question. Yet do we find a strange sort of spirit lately sprung up

a sort of speculative Jacobitism, not wholly romantic, neither, we are afraid, but connected with the events of the times, and a sort of twin-brother to the new-fangled doctrine of legitimacy. The praises of the Cavaliers are lavishly chanted; the devotion of the Stuart partisans is consecrated as something more than human; the exiled house is represented in the most false and favourable lights; and the Whigs are vilified in an equal proportion, and with no kind of discrimination. Now the men who shew their zeal in this truly preposterous manner run no risk, much less do they make the smallest sacrifice; yet they seem to exult in the disinterested gallantry and constancy of the old and real Jacobites, as if they belonged themselves to the caste. In a sound skin, they publish what, even half a century ago, would have cost them either ear; and they would fain persuade themselves that they have a right to glory in the romantic purity of their honest zeal for a beaten cause. Now all this is not mere folly and affectation; nor is it all enthusiasm. The persons who indulge in this lofty strain have some things in common with that party whose personal attachment, gallantry and contempt of danger, they have no pretension to share. Like them, they hate the cause of popular principles; they dislike a free and rational government; they had rather see a king unfettered by a parliament; a judge unchecked by a jury; and a press free to praise only the stronger side, and restrained from palliating all abuses save those of power. To promulgate such doctrines openly, even at this time of day, and large as the strides are which have been made within a few years, might not be altogether safe; and accordingly their advocates are eager in seizing every opportunity of crying up those who were the victims of such principles in a former age, and of stamping with every mark of opprobrium and ridicule the great men to whom we owe the whole blessings of the English constitution.

Crediton, October 13, 1820.

I transmit you a memoir of the late Rev. WM. HAZLITT, who died at this place on 16th July last, at the advanced age of 84; after having for upwards' of half a century laboured in the promulgation of the simple Unity of God, and the general rationality of gospel principles: and who may, therefore, be justly regarded as one of the fathers of the molern Unitarian church. From all that have been able to learn of his general haracter, as well as from my short acuaintance with him, he was a man of terling and inflexible principle; one who aade every worldly interest submit to a teady and faithful adherence to what he onceived to be the path of rectitude; ne who could not be deterred by the owns, nor seduced by the smiles of the orld, from maintaining a conscience oid of offence: hence it followed, as a atural consequence, that throughout the hole of his useful life, he was the steady ad inflexible advocate of the cause f civil and religious liberty. To this e sacrificed every earthly consideration, r this he lived, and for this he was ady to die the determined enemy of very species of political tyranny, as well spiritual domination; as his many ontributions to your valuable Miscellany, th in its first and present series, as ell as to other periodical works, suffiently shew.

To him the admirable words of Watts ply with great propriety:

VOL. XV.

4 s

The venerable subject of the present memoir was born at Shraun Hill, near Tipperary, Ireland, the 18th April, 1737. At about the age of 19 he went to Glasgow University; remained there five years, and obtained the degree of Master of Arts. Though brought up in orthodox principles, it is supposed that he gradually imbibed rational views of religion and at the time of his quitting the University, he may be considered as possessing general Unitarian sentiments. His first settlement was with the Presbyterian congregation at Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire, in the year 1764, where he remained for the space of two years; during which he formed an acquaintance with the daughter of Mr. Loftus, of that town, and which soon after his resignation of his charge in that place, was further strengthened by matrimonial ties: and by whom he had seven children, three of whom, with their mother, now survive him. From Wisbeach he removed to the charge of the Presbyterian congregation at Marshfield, Gloucestershire, where he remained about four years and a half. His next settle
