_—In the service of mankind to be.
A guardian god below ; still to employ
Th mind's brave ardour in heroic aims,
Such a* may raise us o'er the grovelling herd,
And make us shine forever—that is life.
Tnomrsos.
One of the first places to which a stran
ger is taken in Liverpool, is the Athe
naeum. It is established on a liberal anu
judicious plan ; contains a good library,
ami spacious reading room, and is the
great literary resort of the place. Go
there at what hour you may, you are
sure to find it filled w ith grave looking
personages, deeply absorbed in the stu-
'dy of newspapers.
As 1 was once visiting this haunt of the
learned, my attention was attracted to a
person just entering the room. He was
advanced in life, tall, and of a form that
might once have been commanding, but
it was a little bowed bv time—perhaps
by care. He had a noble Roman style
of countenance ; a head that would have
pleased a painter; and though some
slight furrows on his brow showed that
wasting thought had been busy there, yet
his eye still beamed with the fire of a po
etic soul. There was something in his
whole appearance that indicated a being
of a different order from the bustling
Taco around him.
I inquired his name, and was inform
ed that it was Roscoe. 1 drew back with
nn involuntary feeling of veneration.—
This, then, was ar. author of celebrity ;
this was one ot’those men, whose voices,
have gone forth to the ends of the earth ;
with whose minds 1 have communed e-
ven in the solitudes of Ameiica. Ac
customed, as we arc in our country, to
know European writers only by their
works, we cannot conceive of them, as
of other men, engrossed by trivial or sor
did pursuits, and jostling with the crowd
of common mind/in Jjie dusty paths of
re our imaginations
'radiant with the e-
syoxsfi genius, and sur-
life. They pa
like superior
m inations of tl*
rounded by a htlo oMjflfetary glory.
To find the cl^gaDUiistorian of the Me
dici, therefore, among the busy-
sons of traffic, at'nrst shocked my poeti
cal ideas ; but it is from the very circum
stances and situation in which he is pla
ced, that Mr. Roscoe derives his highest
claims to admiration. It is interesting to
notice how some minds seem almost to
create themselves ; springing up under
every disadvantage, and working their
solitary, but irresistible way, through a
thousand obstacles. Nature seems.to de
light in disappointing the assidif/ties of
art, with which it would rear legitimate
dulness to maturity ; and to glory in the
vigor and luxuriance of tar chance pro
ductions. She scatters the seeds of ge
nius to the winds, and though some may
-perish among, the stony places of the
world, k. some be choaked by the thorns
and brambles of early adversity, yet o-
thers will now and then strike root even
in the clefts of the rock, struggle brave
Iv up into sunshine, and spread over
their stevil birth-place all the beauties of
vegetation.
Such has been the case with MrMJos-
coe. Born in a place apparently- unge-
nial to the growth .if literary talent; in
the very market place of trade ; with
out fortune, family connections, or pa
tronage ; self prompted, self sustained,
nnd almost self taught, he lias conquer
ed every obstacle and achieved his wav
to eminence, and, having become one of
the ornaments of the nation, has turned
the whole force of his talents and influ
ence to advance and embellish his native
town.
Indeed, it is this last trait in his cha
racter which has given him the greatest
interest in my eyes, and induced tne par
ticularly to point him out to my country
men. Eminent as arc lib literary me
nti, he is but one among tbe many di
j tiuguished aullwru of this inteneclual n.r-
i tiou. They, however, in general, live
I but for their own fame, dr ineir owu
pleasures. Their pmatu^hisior) pre
sents tin le«sotj to the world, or, perhaps,
^ a humiliating one of hum.iTi frailty and
[inconsistency. At best, tlffcv are prone
to steal away from the bustle and com-
[ mon place of busy existence to indulge
in the selfishness of lettered e;-*e ; and
revel in scenes of mental, hut exclusive,
enjoy ntent.
Mr. Roscoe, on the contrary, has
claimed none of the accorded pmilege*
of talent. He has shut himself up tu no
garden of thought, n»r 11 v si uni of limey;
but lias gone forth into the •gltwuys and
thoroughfares of life ; he lias planted
bowers by tbe w ay side, foV the refresh
ment of the pilgrim and tiie tujourner,
and has established pure fountains where
the laboring tnan may turn aside from the
dust and heat oftbc day, anfl drink ol tiie
living streams of knowledge. There is
a “ daily beauty in his life,” on xxhiih
mankind may meditate and grow better.
It exhibits no lofty and almost useless,
because inimitable example of excel
lence ; but presents a picture of active,
yet simple and imitnhlc virtue*, which
are within every man's reach, & which,
if generally exercised, would corner!
this world into a paradise.
But his private life is peculiarly wor
thy the attention of the citizens of our
young and busy country, where litera
ture and the elegant arts must grow up
side by fide with the coarser [d ints of
daily necessity; and must depend for
their culture, uot on the exclusive devo
tion of time and wealth, or the quicken
ing rays of titled patronage, but on hours
am) seasons snatched from tbe pursuit of
worldly interests, by intelligent and pub
lic spirited individuals.
lie has shown how much may be done
lor a place in hours of leisure, by one-
master spirit, and how cRipletely it can
give its own impress to surrounding ob
jects. Like tns own Lcflrenzn de Medi
ci, on whom he seems to have fixed hi*
eye, as on a pure model of antiquity, lie
has interwoven the Ifistory of Ins life
w ith the history of his nativ e town, and
made the foundations of its fime the mo
numents of his virtues. Wherever you
go, in Liverpool, you perceive traces of
his footsleps in all that is elegant and li
beral. He tontid the tide of wealth flow
ing merely in the channels of traffic ; he
tias diverted from it invigorating rills to
refresh the gardens of literature. By
his own example and constant exertions,
he has effected that union of commerce
and the intellectual pursuits, so elo
quently recommended in one of his latest
writings ;* and has practically proved
how beautifully they may be brought to
harmonize, anil to benefit each other.—
The noble institutions for literary and
scientific purposes, which reflect such
credit on Liverpool, and are giving such
an impulse to the public mind, have
mostly been originated, and all effective
ly promoted, by Mr. Boscoe : and when
we consider the rapidly increasing opu
lence and magnitude of that town, which
promiaesto'vie in commercial importance
with the metropolis ; it will be perceiv
ed that in awaking an ambition of mental
improvement among its inhabitants, he
has conferred a great benefit on the cause
of British literature.
In America we only knovv^r. Roscoe
as the author—in Liverpool lie is spo
ken of as the banker; and 1 was told of
his having been unfortunate in business,
i could not pity him, as d heard some
rich men do. 1 considered him far above
the reach of my pity. Those who live
only for the world, and in the world, may
he cast down by tbe frowns of adversity ;
but a man like Roscoe is not to be over
come by the mutations of fortune. They
do but drive him in upon the resources
of his own mind, to ttie superior .society
of his own thoughts, which the best of
men are apt sometimes to neglect, nnd to
roam abroad in search of less worthy as
sociates. He is independent of the world
around him. He lives with antiquity,
and 'with posterity: with antiquity, in
the sweet communion of studious retire
ment ; and with posterity, ir^the gene
rous aspirings after future renown. 'The
solitude of such a mind, in its state of
highest enjoyment. It is then visited by
•those elevated meditations which are the
proper aliment of noble souls, and are
like manna, sent from heaven, in the wil
derness of this world.
While my feelings were yet alive on
the subject, it was my fortune to light on
farther traces of Mr. Roscoe. 1 was ri
ding out witli-a ge.ntleman, to view the
env irons of Liverpool, when he turned
off, through a gate, into some ornamen
ted grounds. After lading a short dis
tance, we came to n spacious mansion of
freestone, built in the Grecian style. It
was not in the purest taste, yet it had an
air of elegance, and the situation was de
lightful. A fine lawn sloped away from
it, studded with clumps of trees, so dis
posed as to break a soft fertile country
into a variety of landscapes. The Mcr-
ey was seen winding a broad quiet sheet
if water through an expanse of green
meadow land, and the W elsh mountains,
blending with clouds, and melting into
Ustance, bordered tbe horizon.
This was Roscoe’s favorite residence
iluring the days of his prosperity. It
had been the seat of elegant hospitality
and literary retirement. The house vva*
now silent and deserted. I saw the win
dows of the study, which looked out up
on the soft scenery I have mentioned.—
The windows vveie closed—the library
was gone. Two or three ill-favored be
ings were loitering about the place,
whom my fancy pictured into retainers
of the law. It was like visiting some
classic fountain, that had once welled it*
pure waters in a sacred shade, but find-

' Institution.
in’ it dry and dusty, vvitli the Iizitil and
uie toaJ brooding over the shjuered
marbles.
I inquired after the fate of.'fj Ros-
coe’s library, which tuJ con-e-ted of
scarce oik) foreign books, from mjuy of
which he had dr two the materia* for
Ins Italian histories. It had possil un
der tiie hammer of the HUCtimieet, and
been dispensed about the country. The
good people of the vicinity throng'd like
wreckers to get some part of the flhtde
ship that had liven driven on shore, Did
such a scene admit of ludicrous ossxcia-
tion«, we might imagine something whim
sical in thi* strange irruption into the re-
ct.ms of learning. Pigmies rummaging
the armoury of a gitn', and contending
lor the possession of weapons which they
could not wield. We might figure to our-
solves some knot of speculators, deba
ting with calculating brow over the quaint
binding and illuminated margin of an ob
solete author ; or the air of intense, but
battled, sagacity with which some sne-
cessful purchaser attempted to dive into
the black-letter bargain lie bail secured.
It is a beautiful inriiknt in the story
of Mr. Koscoe’s misfortunes, and one that
i annot fail to iolcre-t the studious mind,
that the parting with hi* books seem* to
have touched upon hi* tenderest feel
ings, and to have been the only circum
stance which could provoke the notice
of his muse. The scholar only knows
tiow dear these silent, yet eloquent,
companions of pure thoughts and inno
cent hour*, become in tbe season of ad-
er*ity. When all that is worldly turn*
to dross around us, these only -retain
their steady value. When friends grow
ccld, and tiie converse of intimites lan
guishes into vapid civility and common
place, these only continue the unaltered
countenance of happier days, and cheer
us w ith that true friendslrip, which never
deceived hope, nor deserted sorrow.
1 do not wish to censure ; but, surely,
if the people of Liverpool had been pro
perly sensible of what was due to Mr.
Roscoe and to themselves, his library
would never Have been sold. Good
worldly rea=ons may, doubtless, be giv
en for the circumstance, which it would
be difficult to combat vvitli others that
might seem merely fanciful ; but it cer
tainly appears to me such an opportuni
ty a* seldom occurs, of cheering a noble
mind struggling under misfortunes, by

For pass a few short years, or days, or hours,
And happier seasons may their daw n un
