Secunda. "The production of an English clergyman, and bears unequivocal marks of refined taste, elegant scholarship, and a liberal, generous, and candid mind. The idea--to us a novel one--carried out in this work is, to bring up for judgment (as the Egyptians used to do with their departed kings) the characters that figure most in the page of history, and to pass sentence upon them. Summoning them, as it were, into his presence with the lamp of history to guide him, _exquiritque auditque dolos_; and whether it be praise or blame, or a mixture of both, that he awards, the judgment is pronounced in a temperate spirit, and with judicial impartiality; and it is expressed in pure and elegant Latin, and often with epigrammatic felicity."--_Scotsman_.
