MM ,m guv-rung* -r *wre“i ¥\, — TM h >UM( ~ “ LITERARY. [From the Analectic Magazine.! James V. PaAke of Philadel phia, has published in mo vol umes Bvo the life of the late Charlesßrockden Brown,togeth er with selections from tile rarest of his primed works, from his o riginal letters, aad from his man uscripts before unpublished. By William Dunlap, esq. The snbj ci of this biographi cal memoir possessed a genius - f .X. •. I. ’ * .U - was cultivated, and its efforts have procured for him a high h well established reputation among the admirers of that species of ro mance of which Mr. Godwin’s Caleb Williams was considered the best model. Caleb Williams is in fact a work of powerful tal ents, exhibiting a thorough knowl edge of the human heart,—of those passions, especially, by which it is most variously and dreadfully agitated, -and display ing in colours, painfully glowing, the evils, (perhaps unavoidable’ of a state of society, crowded in its population and far advanced in n finement This is the work oh which the reputation of Mr. God win will rest It will be read h admired when his Political Jus ticewith all its trainef upplemen ary essays will be forgotten, or remefribered only as monuments <1 the extravagancies which geni us without the guidance of judg ment so often commits. Mr. Brown in some respects does not all short of the celebrated writei whom he avowedly imitates. Hf icquaintance with the human teart was far less profound, but te knew how to excite and keef ip an interest equally strong anc fa much more agreeable nature Tis style was even better suited nan that of his model for the re gion of an interesting story. Hie language of Caleb Williams is elaborately elegant, and the rea der often pauses to admire its beauty and magnificence. The style of Arthur Mervin and Ed gar Huntley, is plain, unadorned, and Hows with uninterrupted ra pidity. The periods appear per fectly artless The words com municate the thought so simply Sc clearly that they are not them selves particularly noticed.—The reader seems to behold ideas ra ther than their symbols: the pic ture is so exact that it is not dis tinguished from the original. We peruse the pages of such a writer, a* we listen to the impressive dis course of an orator of the highest class, inattentive to his person or his gestures, and unmindful even of his language, except as the me dium through which the speaker pours the light of his mind. ‘The life of Mr. Brown was not sufficiently public, brilliant or di versified to afford subject or an interesting biography. A man of; letters conscious of his own merit, 1 modest and retiring, he shrunk j from every species of vulgar no- J toriety; while his industry, pru-1 dunce and domestic endearments preserved him from those distres ses and irregularities which too often afxlict and degrade men of literary eminence. A piece ot writing, fwhether spurious or genuine is a matter of no consequence) is believed by some French and English Jour nalists, to be the last will and tes tament of Maria Antoinette, wife oi Louis XVlth.—-Whether the celebrated cortizan ever made a will, or whether she ever had any will, but her pleasure —is a point by no means difficult to set tle, by those acquainted with her ‘'"aragter. However, |we cannot but admire the gious sentiments” which these writers say “they felt” upon the perusal of the will—and, when they add, that the manuscript co pies of it are “objects of respect and veneration,” we should not wonder if “such bulwarks of feli geon” were to offer their idola trous worship in the temples oi the Egyptian Venus—The cant bout Royal Sanctity and Royal Virtue, in the family of the Bour bons (unhappily rendered current by the eloquence of Burke) must necessarily deceive every Reader, who has not gone to the purer sources ofinformation. The his tory of that court in which Maria Antoinette shone conspicuous by her meretricous beauty her in trigues and demoralizing exess es—furnishes to the truly pious mind a group of characters capa ble of exciting nothing but con ’empt and detestation.
