This volume treats of the Commonwealth strictly so called, the subject for the sake of which the work was undertaken. Its earlier portions are, in a certain sense, preliminary matter, though indis pensable to the understanding of the whole. It is this subject which has uniformly furnished a theme for scurrility to the advo cates of prerogative and despotism. One hundred and seventymade the province of genuine history, of patient inquiry, and sober judgment. Party annalists have skimmed its surface and six years have now passed over it, and it is time that it should be passed away, as if poison lurked among its ingredients. An attempt is here made to analyse its contents, to assign the motives of the actors, and to trace up effects to the causes from which they sprung.

The result of his investigation is, that much remains to be done for the "aborigines of the north country" of America, in the way of Protestant missionary exertion. We dare say

Returning to New Brunswick, Mr. West relates of that colony

"Soon after my arrival, his excellency, the lieutenant-governor, was pleased to favour me with his sentiments on the subject of the Indians of the province. I read the communication with much interest, as expressing the most benevolent feelings towards them; and the subsequent information which I obtained through visiting their several stations, convinced me, that his excellency had in contem. plation the only feasible plan (combining system and economy) for the purpose of reclaiming the aborigines from the woods, to a social existence in villages on their own lands. Though more numerous than in the sister province of Nova Scotia, the Indians of New Brunswick may, probably, not far exceed two thousand. These are becoming more and more demoralized in their unsettled and wandering state, and it is a question of location, or extinction of the rem. nant of a people, who were once sovereigns of

nations seem to be decreasing fast in population: the Wesleyan missionaries have converted many, but much yet remains to be done. They receive some instruction in various parts, and in some are comfortably settled, instead of retaining their rude and savage habits. They speak in the language of neophytes of the Bible, &c. &c. and use no longer the tone of the warrior chief who thus addressed his followers on leading them to the attack :—

“I know that your guns are burning in your hands-your tomahawks are thirsting to drink the blood of your enemies-your trusty arrows are impatient to be upon the wingand, lest delay should burn your hearts any longer, I give you the cool, refreshing word, Away!"

We dare say it is all for the best-and so take our leave.

The Orlando Furioso. Translated by William
Stewart Rose. Vol. V. London, 1827.
J. Murray.
WE have so often given our meed of applause
to the elegant translator of the Orlando, that
little more is left for us than to announce its
continuation, and to say, that there is no
alteration in its qualities and attractions. We
shall select a few stanzas as an example. First,
a sarcastic observation.

"A woman for the most part reasons best
Upon a sudden motion, and untaught;
For with that special grace the sex is blest,
'Mid those so many gifts wherewith 'tis fraught;
But man, of a less nimble wit possest,

Is ill at counsel, save with sober thought
He ruminate thereon, content to spend
Care, time, and trouble, to mature his end."

Sequel and further commentary.
"Wherever that afflicted paynim goes,

He fills the kindling air with sighs that burn,
And Echo oft, for pity of his woes,
With him from hollow rock is heard to mourn :

of this strange conversion of a village into an
1 oz bugun di 19

⚫ O female mind! how lightly ebbs and flows
Your fickle mood,' he cries,aye prone to turn!adverb.
Object most opposite to kindly you to his scathe!

Lost, wretched man, who

Neither my love nor length of servitude,

Though by a thousand proofs to you made clear,
Had power even so to fix your faithless mood, ↑
That you at least so lightly should not veer;
Nor am I quitted because less endued

With worth than Mandricardo I appear:
Nor for your conduct cause can I declare,
Save this alone, that you a woman are.
I think that nature and an angry God

Produced thee to the world, thou wicked sex,
To be to man a plague, a chastening rod;
Happy, wert thou not present to perplex,
So serpent creeps along the grassy sod;

So bear and ravening wolf the forest vex;
Wasp, fly, and gad-fly buzz in liquid air,
And the rich grain lies tangled with the tare.

Why has not bounteous Nature willed that man
Should be produced without the aid of thee,
As we the pippin, pear, and service can
Engraft by art on one another's tree?
But she directs not all by certain plan;
Rather, upon a nearer view, I see,
In naming her, she ill can act aright,
Since Nature is herself a female hight.

Yet be not therefore proud and full of scorn,"
Women, because man issues from your seed;
For roses also blossom on the thorn,

And the fair lily springs from loathsome weed.
Despiteous, proud, importunate, and lorn

of love, of faith, of counsel, rash in deed, With that, ungrateful, cruel, and perverse, And born to be the world's eternal curse!'

These plaints and countless others to the wind
Poured forth the paynim knight, to fury stirred;
Now easing in low tone his troubled mind,

And now in sounds which were at distance heard,
In shame and in reproach of womankind;
Yet certes he from sober reason erred:
For we may deem a hundred good abound,
Where one or two perchance are evil found.

Though none for whom I hitherto have sighed,
Of those so many, have kept faith with ine,
All with ingratitude, or falsehood dyed,

I deem not-I accuse my destiny.
Many there are, and have been more beside,
Unmeriting reproach; but if there be,
'Mid hundreds, one or two of evil way,
My fortune wills that I should be their prey.

Yet will I make such search before I die,

Rather before my hair shall wax more white, That haply on some future day even I Shall say, That one has kept her promise plight.' And should not the event my trust belie, (Nor am I hopeless) I with all my might Will with unwearied pain her praise rehearse With pen and ink and voice, in prose and verse." This vein, of satiric observation, which thus varies the wild romance, is rendered with great spirit by Mr. Rose; and much do we doubt if ever Ariosto will find a more pleasing English dress. Still, we ought not to forget the version of Sir John Harrington, though the language has become somewhat obsolete. A very intel, ligent foreigner, writing to us six months ago: on the subject of a rare copy of the original, and a curious one of Harrington, remarks as follows ja

"To say one word respecting the merits of Sir John's translation, its being almost verbal, notwithstanding the restraint imposed upon him by the ottava rhymes, is no small one; however uncouth and obsolete his style may be, his commentaries are original, and full of exqui

site erudition.

"Sir John did not, indeed, introduce the word filo in his translation, but supplied this defect by the following marginal note, almost two centuries before Monti's criticism. Thus This is called the reach of Langastrino Filo, where Poe runs straight six miles long.'

The same gentleman, Signor Antonio Mon-
tucci, of Dresden, gives us a curious history of
the plates in the above-mentioned editions. We
subjoin his letter.

"Ariosto's Orlando, Venice 1584, and Sir John Harrington's
Translation, 3d Edit. Lond. 1634.
"SIR,In Messrs. Longman and Co.'s Catalogue for
1822 we read as follows, respecting the above edition of
Ariosto, under No. 3774: An edition of great repute on
account of the Osservazioni di Alb. Lavezuola and the fine
engravings of Gir, Porro. The present copy has not the
rare plate to canto xxxiv., but in its place a duplicate of
that prefixed to canto xxxili. The plates in Sir John
Harrington's translation are closely copied from these of
Porro.

"As I am now in possession of both Longman's copy of
Ariosto and Sir John's translation, I am enabled to ob-
serve that the essential diversifications of the plates are no
less than four,

"The first occurs on the plate prefixed to canto iii., but the difference chiefly consists in the landscape, Sir John's plate, however, exhibits a much better view of the city of Paris, and Atlante's castle is seen in a diminutive form at the top of a steep rock on the left.

The plates prefixed to canto v. differ more materially. Sir John's plate exhibits Polinesso's ascent to Dalinda's apartment by means of a rope-ladder, and Ariodante's despair in two places. Below we see him ready to run himself through the body with his own sword, from which attempt he is prevented by his brother Lurcanio. At the top of the same plate we see Ariodante precipitating himself into the sea from a very high rock.

"A much more considerable difference is to be observed in the plates prefixed to canto xxviii. That of Sir John's exhibits at the top various occurrences omitted in the Italian copy, and particularly four of the most remarkable incidents in Giocondo's story-namely, his tender parting from his wife; his peeping through the chink in the wall of his room at King Alphonso's court; and, lastly, the adventure at the Spanish inn, in which King Alphonso, Giocondo, Fiametta, and Greco, were concerned.

"At canto xxxiv. Sir John's plate is by no means a du-
plicate of that prefixed to the preceding canto, and is, in
all probability, a faithful imitation of the rare one to be
met with in but a few copies of the above-mentioned Ita-
lian edition. At the bottom of this plate we see the
mouth of hell, and Lidia tortured within it. Astolfo is
here represented in various attitudes. First, alighting from
the griffin, then listening to Lidia's story, then leading his
griffin by the bridle. In another place he cuts trees down
to stop the entrance of hell; he is then seen soaring to the
top of the mountain on his winged steed. Higher up, St.
John receives him at the entrance of the great palace;
and above it Astolfo is travelling with St. John to the
moon, on a car drawn by

Quattro destrier via più che fiamma rossi.'
in the moon; the habitation of the three Parce, and
Quite at the top of the plate we see the baubles preserved
Time very busy in carrying away the printed names to
be thrown into the river.

proposing to the curious in plates and scarce books:
The following question, Mr. Editor, seems well worth

Are the plates prefixed to the iii., v., xxvf., and
altered by his own directions to the engraver; or, are the
xxxiv. cantos, in Sir John Harrington's translation, thus
originals of these four plates to be met with precisely the
some in the few copies of the Italian Ariosto, where no
duplicate occurs at canto xxxiv. ?

By making room for these few lines in your excellent
periodical publication, Mr. Editor, you will greatly oblige
your constant reader

For instance, that very acute critic, the Chevalier Vincenzo Monti, in his corrections of the De la Crusca Vocabulary, has lately observed, that in all the Italian editions of Ariosto, (that of 1532 only excepted, which "Were an Englishman or a foreigner desirous of knowthe author himself superintended,) a gross mis-ing in what acceptation the word reach is here employed, he would in vain consult Dr. Johnson's Dictionary or Dr. print has crept into stanza 140 of canto xliii., Todd's improvements upon it.

"I walk'd in the morn, when the beautiful shower
Had left its tears on many a flower,
When many a pearly diadem
Was hanging upon the rose's stem,
And the fair lily's bell was set
With a bright dewy coronet :

And there the jessamine was budding,

With silver stars its leaves bestudding, alını dırıda
And one rain-drop of lustre meek

Was laid on a rose's smiling cheek;

And the rising sun with its welcome glance string? 租

Had waked the buds from their evening trance

And the ivy that circled the mouldering stone
Shone with a brilliancy not its own;

Flowers with nature's tears bedew'd - GITɔ2138

Through their covert of green leaves fish, Somal

And so on earth the soul appears atramal delfynA
Refresh'd by salutary tears:

And even if sorrow through life should remain.
We shall meet with peace in heaven again, amparui
And every tear of dark distress

Shall be dried by the Sun of Righteousness.
