In all this there is much glitter ; and brass

the fair hand of Madame Genlis. But, this
age of chivalry" may be seen in my anti
quated Don Belianis of Greece, and Felix
roarte of Hj rcania, and the legend of Sir
Tristram, and in every page of Amadii de
Gaul. It is a curious, and may be a profita
ble speculation, to refleft on the vicissitudes
of learning and taste, as they refpeft both

legendary lore. In the earlier annals of the
Spanish story, ye find every high minded

ing to figlialize liiinfell", by the relief of a
datnlel, the diiTolution of an enchantment,
the breaking of a lance, a ride upon a grif
fin, or a rencounter with a giant. In th e

vantes* fprangtinto the lifts, and knights
and squires and dwarfs and damsels, and
caflles and burning lakes vanished like the

Of wit or arms, while both contend

rufal of Don Quixote, to restrain merriment
at the name ct a castle #r a knight. The
objeft of Madame de Gcnlis in leading her
reader among tilts and tournaments and
" throngs of knights and barons bold" per-
haps wa= to ccntiaft more forcibly the tricks
of innovation with the dignified and regular
c oftume_uf early times, but her object migbj
have been better'accompliflied by describing
the court of Henry of Navarre, rather than
that of Charltrmagne.
Here, let ns reft. To find fault, with
books, ufeful in the main, is an odious talk.
To speak harshly of a lady, who has deserved
so well of morals and literature as Madame
tie G. is no less repugnant to gallantry and
politeness than to found cnticifm. The
principles in these books are excellent.. They
incite to deeds of valour, justice and benevo
lence. It must not by any means be omit
ted, that this lady is not of the modem
French school. She has received her educa"
tion under better matter than the Abbe
Sieyes, or the impious Le Pawx. She has
evidently been, taught according to tb c
ftraighteft sett of a fourth Henry and a four
teenth Loili?. She "has kneeled at the feet
of none of the recent Gallic Gamaliels. She
is an ancient gentlewoman, arrayed in court
ly robes, ill the gorgeous vefhne'nts of Maria
Antoinette, not in the flinizy and scanty
drapery of Tallien, or in the filthy rags of
a suburban Poiflardc. Of the revolution
mongers and philosophers of Erance, fh; ex

;s truly honoiahlt to this'correft anJ vtr tu_
ous matron that (lie nourishes a hatred f«r
thatfalfe philofopby, the bane of the human
race, and in Fiance the grand principle of
deftruiction, the original sin of the govern■»
ment. Describing the learned converfstions
in the court of Charlemagne, she larcafllcaUy
and expn-ilively subjoins that the difcourf'es
of that' Prince were not trom the academy S
and that he had the good fortune Hot to
number a single philosopher in all his vast
dominions. Her farc;afm, Ihe continually
repeats, is levied at the pretended pbilo
ftiphers, at the profeffors of impiety, and
the reviler of morals and religion, and,
to use her. own words, literally tranf-
Uted, " (he loves and honors from the bot
tom of her foul genuine philofopiiers, real
friends to wil'dom and virtue, such' asSo
cratrs, Epi&etus ar.d Marcus,
among the ancients, and, among the mo
derns, Pafeal, Mafillon, Fenelon, Addifon,
&c. Such sentiments as these cannot be
too frequently" repeated, nor too loudly
prafed. We wish that they would ring thro*
America, and that those deluded diftri&s
abused by the mummery of Dr. Phlogiston,
and the flight Manchester fabric, the coarse
corduroy political of mailer Cooper, would
like the realms of Charlemagne be vacant of
philosophers. We want no fych tygers in
our national Menagerie. We do not like
the ftuff of which these creatures are made.
We do not give a penny to witness any of
their tricks and gambols. To use an allu
sion of the Uarned S 'lden, "they are surly and
fpiteful m. fliffs ; fa long as you feed them
and ftrokr them, and do not pinch them,
peradventure they are quiet, but if you be
not wary they will fly at your throat." The
very name of a philosopher is fufficient to
make a.iy generous blood curdle in the vein.
It is of pet rifle operation. A catholic spir
it, having the commonweal eminently at
■ heart, might wilh that the fires of Sniith
, field should be rekindled, if for no other
: purpose than to coi,fume the trumpery im
. plements, the vain toys and " idle gauds" of
■ Gallic philosophy. We could well spare

| cheerfully behold calcined every bone of'his
; Mammoth. . Birmingham air pumps might
scorch to cinder ; and, as an old and dingy
hide himfelf in the red sea of revolution.
He obeyed. But, unfortunately took 4
wrong direftion. He forfook the road t»
Paris and her ruffians, and came to North
America
Quale Portentum neque militant

He came, a philosophical, political monf-
■ ter, not terrible for rhe energy or fublireity
| of his powers, not " exalted," like tlie
! poet's " Satan," but " Squat like a toad
; odious for crooked cunning and conventicle
cant, for left banded politics and presump
tuous interference. How he has demeaned
himfclf here, we h.ive learned from diurnal
-liiflorv. Ah has been before observed, ie
has been eje&ed by England, and now even
his city of refuge, even Northamberknd
nauseates him. We fervently uiili that he

The old lumber is burdenfonie ; and i£ may
flill be thrust away in some of the diflenters
gairets iu England. Though we very well
know that Church arid State, that Literature

i landing of f'uch poor fluff as the Doflor and
his doclrines. Yet there are doors which
