W& baro them' in'the anthor’a origi nal manuseript/atul doUot remember tOlißvo notlped them, In ; any published edition of his works. They refer to a well-written article on Macaulay, -which appeared some yean, ego, from the pen of Mr. W. A. Jones, whom Mr. Poo' designates as' “ ono of onr'best es sayists, •although overflowing petty pre judice.” : In ' that article the paragraph ap; pended, is cited _aa .a;. sharp, epigrammatic notice of Southey’s political bias, so happy in its paerely grammatical conatrnction :as“ to defy improvement.” Mr. Macaulay says:... " Government is to Mr. Sontbey4h'e of the floe arts. Ho Jndgestof a theory brl a public measure, of a religion, a political party, a peace or a war, ns men judge of a picture or a Btatuo, by the effect produced on his imagi nation. A chain of associations is to him what a chain; of reasoning Is to other men ; and what be calls his opinions are In fact merely his tastes.” I respect (says Mr. Poe,) the rhetorical powers of Macaulay quite as highly as Mr. Jones can poißlbly do; but it seams to mo that the paragraph quoted Is somewhat ex ceptional. In the first sentence, “ Mr. Southey,” as being (As. topic,.should - have ■ precedence >of of “ goVernmbntj” and" one of the flue arts Is circumlocutory.” The second sentence is by no moans expli cit.. judges of.a theory, &c., as men judge of- a" picture or a- statue.’,’; -Hero we pause to astc how men judge of : a picture or a statue,;when;Mrr Maeaulajraadds; “-by the effect produced on -Am "imagination.” ■ But they,do not j■- they Judge, by the "effecti pro duced on thels own.; There is a needless rope, tition, too, of “judges ” with” judge j” and the phrase “asmen;judge,” usedin place of “ as olhtr men judge,” leaves; Mr. Southey quite out ef the category of men. “ The men,” also, is too closely followed.by “ other men,” in the next sentence; while “ assOcia-, lion ” comes jingling ’too -immediately .with "imagination.” just above. Tile tautological use of”what”.is, moreoybr, uncouth.. As for the last half of the last, sentence, not oniy has It tho Identical tournnre of the firsthalf, but It la pleonastic and ungrammatical. The relative, jingutnr.'pronoun “ what,” ,meaning “ that thing which,” is, by n great oversight, used ss a nominative’ to the plural “ arc.” The whole paragraph is deficient in spirit, and, with ail necessary-deferehcojl mainiain .that we shall Impfovo it by writing It thus: “ To. Mr. Southey, government is a fino art. Of peace or war—of a tlioory, a roli glonfijpra public measure—ho judges bytlie Imaginative.offset, as. a picture or statue is estimated by other men. To-them, what a chain'of reasoning la, to him Is a chain-of . association; and, as to ,bls opinions, they are nothing but his tastes.” : .
