linger than itself. Tlie author pro- 

 ]i*t»es to confine himself U> snlijfcts 

 connected wilb this piolession. Should 

 this hook not be relished, it is 1o be 

 hoped that he is not a professor of 

 politics, 



I^)rd Byron l)as indulged the poclicid 

 world with a small collection of minor 

 effusions, ptihlishcd under the title of, 

 the Prisoner of Chillnn, and other 

 Poems. It is to he regretted that they 

 have come out under such a designation, 

 as it led the public to expect an ela- 

 borate effort in the Prisoner of Chilloii ; 

 ■whereas it is a mere fragment, and by 

 110 means cither so good or so "iter- 

 esting as sonic of its companions. Nei- 

 ther has it any direct connexion with 

 the celebrated Castle of Chillon, on the 

 ]\Iatgin of tiie Lake of Geneva, from 

 which it is called, being, in fact, little 

 jMorc than a rhapsodical description of 

 the effect of merciless captivity in a 

 rfunijcon on three y»)nthfiil brothers, 

 wipposcd to be coriilned therein on a 

 religious account, at the a-ra of the He- 

 formation. The most beanliful of the 

 other jioems is, an Incantation, written 

 some years ago for a Witch Drama; 

 and the most cjirious of them, a non- 

 descript, in blank verse, intitled, 

 the Dream, which is allusive, from 

 beginning to end, to his lordship's 

 first amatory attachment, and the fate 

 •f the object of it and of himself in mar- 

 riage. 



The author of Waverlcy, Guy Man- 

 ncring, and the Antiquary, for it is cer- 

 taiidy he— has furnitlied the readers for 

 afnusement with another work, intitled, 

 * Talcs of My La7idlord,' which, though 

 extending to four volumes, contains two 

 tales only. The second of these, which 

 takes up three quarters of the work, 

 possesses merit of a very liigh order, 

 and affords an admirable lesson to 

 bigots of opposing sects, by shew- 

 inii the existence of a persecuting 

 spirit in every oxtremc, and its horrible 

 accordance with the dictates of a per- 

 verted conscience. I'he oi>posing pic- 

 tures of oppression, aisd cold-blooded 

 cruelty, on the part of the episcopalian 

 leaders of Scotland, under Lauderdale, 

 during tfie latter part of the reign of 

 rharles II. and its operation on a spirit 

 of fircy and intolerant zeal in the Pit s- 

 livteriiins and Cameronians, vriih the 

 consequent excesses on each side, are 

 puinted with great force and geuisis. 

 These are kind of fictions which rniliy 

 aid the study of histoi y, and, as such.
