 am surprised to see so careful a writer as Dr.

 of so well-known a person as Sir Jo?j«^Aa?iTrelawny,

NOTES ON BOOKS. 



Speeches in ParUnmeyit, and some Miscellaneous Pam- 

 phlets, hy the late Henry Dnimmond, Esq. Edited by 

 Lord Lovaine. 2 Vols. 8vo. (Bosworth & Harrison.) 



We have nothing to do with politics ; . and the work of 

 which we have just transcribed the title is essentially 

 political : but the late Member for West Surrey was no 

 ordinary politician. An accomplished high-minded gen- 

 tleman, a .Tory of the old school, whose fidelity to the 

 Crown and to the Constitution as by law established, was 

 as decided as his maintenance of the rights and liberties 

 of the meanest subjects, it would have been matter of 

 regret, nay more, it would have been a grievous loss to 

 the literature of Parliament, had not some record been 

 preserved of the ready eloquence — the bold advocacy of 

 truth — the pungent wit — the true English humour and 

 true English love of fair play which distinguished the 

 parliamentary career of Henry Drummond. The first of 

 these two volumes contains Mr. Drummond's Speeches in 

 Parliament, and the second is devoted to a republication 

 of his Occasional Pamphlets; and the reader will search 

 in vain for any book in which popular political fallacies 

 and claptrap are more thoroughly exposed than in this 

 valuable collection of the Speeches and Writings of Henry 

 Drummond. Lord Lovaine has done good service by 

 their publication. 



The Expedition to the Me of RM. By Edward, Lord 

 Herbert of Cherbury, K.B. London, 4to. (Printed for 

 the Philobiblon Society.) 



The writings of Lord Herbert of Cherbury have had a 

 singular fate.- His curious autobiography, after having 

 been long missing, was recovered and printed by Horace 

 Walpole at Strawberry Hill. His comments on the Ex- 

 pedition to the Isle of Rhe were published by Dr. Bald- 

 win in a Latin translation in 1656 ; and now, after the 

 lapse of 230 years from its composition, the original 

 English is printed for the first time, by Lord Powis, in a 

 handsome volume, for the members of the Philobiblon 

 Club. Some seventeen years ago a manuscript, thought 

 to be the original, and bearing some alterations believed 

 to be in the handwriting of Charles I., was purchased at 

 a sale in London by Mr. David Laing of Edinburgh. 

 From him it was transferred, about five years ago, to 

 Lord Powis, who has made it the subject of the present 

 volume. The work itself is not so much an account of 

 the expedition to which it relates, as an answer to alleged 



mistatements of Isnard, Monet, and the Mercure Fran- 

 cois, the principal French writers who had treated upon 

 the subject. Lord Herbert's chief anxiety was to prove 

 that the English, although compelled to abandon their 

 main object, had distinguished themselves for greater 

 bravery than their opponents — that they were still the 

 men of Cressy and Poictiers. The work is unquestionably 

 a valuable addition to the historical authorities published 

 by the Philobiblons. Lord Powis has prefixed useful 

 pedigrees of several branches of the Herbert family; with 

 an account of the manuscript from which -the "present 

 work is printed, and a list of other works of Lord Herbert. 

 To the latter we presume might be added, Dialogue be- 

 tween a Tutor and his Pupil, 4to., 1768 ; and The Lute 

 Book of Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury and Castle 

 Island, containing divers selected Lessons of excellent Au- 

 thors in several Countries : wherein are some also of my own 

 Composition — a MS. noticed in the Gent. Mag. for 

 January, 1816.
