The followinar review of a work with the above
title, recently published In London, Ih from tho
ft:
This- is 11 masterly book on a "rent onhWt nnd
KC foel confident thnt those who nro tho most
familiar with Chancer will the most heartily
jyjont to ' our cstim.'ite of Matthew Browne a
attractive panes. As was intimated in a recent
jjsiie of thin journal, "Matthew Browne" is only

Jt. ...l..!!... tl . A ,!.-. . I. .. - 1
Trim n , iiiiii.ii,ii! hi our iiicramru, is us nuwi
j, jiionymous. For our own part, we will not
hf forward to remove the disguise, and, indeed,
jn very many caee wo should ana rule- prefer
jlie anonymoiiH to the onoinntoti mode of ad
drfoinK the puhlie. If a publicist nmkes a per
gonal attack on a contemporary, or if he has
fpciial personal experience wiiieh peculiarly
jits him to -peak with authority on a t,iven sub
ject, we .should hold the anonymous utterance
to be. in the one ease, to say the least, perilously
fraiisiht with temptations to reckless assertion",
and in the other to imply some latent
dir-renard for the intrinsic claims of a
momentous o,uestion. The present re
el- lias long ijccn ol opinion that when
itt theme which a writer discusses belongs to
the reirion of pure art, or speculative criticism,
he is more likely to be disenaed from all
merely personal considerations, more likely to
be dominated by his subject nd lose himself
in it by withholding his name. The anonymous
author is at liberty to refer continually to an
ideal standard to what is strictly bti'rsnmnl
and then.' as m (lie well-known instances of the
Natural History of Enthusiasm" and '-Eece
Homo," lie mav have the special gratification ot
witnessing: the impression which his speculations
tY themselves create upon the public mind, un
alloyed by any suspicion that his readers are in
fluenced cither ly prejudice against himself or
prepossession in his favor. To be heard with
out bcinn seen, to be but a mire cryiiur in the
wilderness, is doubtless very fascinatini; to a
certain type of mind; and so lomr as this able
frilie chooses to retain his pseudonym, and
watch the reception Khun to his essayinirs with
out throwing his own shadow on the pao, by
.ill means let him indulge his humor. Hut
while Mr. Hrowne veils his personality
proper from his readers, the hidden
Ban of hint is of very sitllicient und substan
tial cpiality. He has been most happy in the
selection of Chaucer for his subject, and we can
not but think that the poet himself has found
in Mr. Hrowne his most genial, sympathlzinir,
and intelligent expositor. We arc not speaking
at random. We have at hand rather considera
ble means for enabling us to form a just judg
ment of the respective merits of those who have
labored heartily in the Chaucerian field. Spotlit,
the laudatory' but uite uncritical Crry. ' the
scholarly Tyrwhitt, the fanciful though always
forceful" Godwin, 8ir Harris Ni joins, the late
Hubert Hell, John Saunders, a certain North
British reviewer, and the uniformly accurate
Thomas Wriirht, have all deserved "well at the
bands of the lovers of Chaucer by thoir
respective editions or investigation's; unci
to all of them (with the exception, pro
baaly, of the North J!riti.h reviewer). Mr.
Browne would be the first to acknowledge his
obligations. But whatever ho has read and lie
has read immensely on this special subject hy
biis made so entirely his own that his work is
entitled to the merit of being entirely original.
We made ourselves students of Chaucer, and to
our own thinking at least graduated in the
Scnuine old English gentleman's writings years
ago; but we feel ourselves only the more in
debted to Mr. Hrowne for his racy and suggestive
volumes. His book lives in every page. There
Is not a dull or common-place sentence to bu
found in "Chaucer's England;" and sometimes,
hi a foot-note, our author throws out a hint
irhich indicates at once a very comprehensive
survey of human interests and fino moral dis
crimination. Let us take the following as an
illustrative example. Mr. Hrowne, in his chapter
entitled "Town and Country.'' gives us not a little
picturesque and historically valuable informa
tion, lie riots, we might xay, in his familiarity
Tith his old English life and modes of feeling,
while lie preseuts to us, in contrast with the
modern N ordsworthian habit of subterfusing
into the aspects of nature a divine significance,
the old domesticated sense ot relation to the
outer world which characterized our ancestors
f ve centuries ago. After quoting a charming
passage from the tale of the Doctor of Physic on
"Nature" as God's "Vicar-General," who was
Ordained by the "former principal" to form and
paint all earthly creatures accormug to tier nsi,
our author says". "A mind trained in the modern
school ....'.. may possibly read into what
Chaucer here writes a meaning or a suggestion
which Chaucer himself had not." And then he
adds, in a foot-note:
"The practice Is far too common in criticism of al!
kinds, including criticism of the Hihle. I wish tnnse
who indulue in it would think, among other things,
ot the harm tliey do themselves, since every act o.
iiHiiiceritv tends permanently to cloud the mind.
TlieerrorT am condemning is often defended on the
pound that tlie prophet and the poet aretheBiiiijeets
of an inspiration, ami do not always know the whole
meaning of their own words. And this is true, but
It is not an excuse which (IW the case. The ques
tion, what do certain words rover! is quite distinct
from the question, what did the writer of them
mean?"
A paragraph like this supplies a strong temp
tation to write a lay sermon on the ethics of in
terpretation, but we must resist it, and pass on
to other matters more specially pertinent to
Chaucer.
- Mr. Browne's book constats, in form, of a
series of cssavs, which touch npon almost every
phase of English life in the great epoch during
which Chaucer lived and (Ming. The essays
themselves are eighteen in number, and have,
each of them, a title which, without being sen
sational, is frequently quaint, and always whets
the curiosity. First of all and naturally comes

Relief, and Criticism." and "Under Shadow the
Church." We may further mention that to each
essay is prefixed a picionai uiusuuuou, wuuu

c.iof Chaucer's way of treating things, Ictus
quote a charming passage of his proso. It
occurs iu the opening paragraph of his treatise
on ' the "Astrolabye," -which he wrote in his
sixty-third year, A. D. 13!1, lor the special edifi
cation of one of his children:
"I.ytel Loiiys. my Sonne, 1 pereeve well by certene
cv.vdeiiees thyne ali.vlyte to b-rne Scvences, touching

I.
It was not only the speech of Englishmen, as
we have implied, that as dear to Chaucer. He
'took all England up." Hut he did this in a
quiet poet's way. He lived in a time of what we
may call world-shaking events a time of great
battles, wide wasting epidemics, of phenomena,
in a word, so startling, that Wyelille drew from
ttirm the augury that the last phials were being
poured out on the Church and the earth. None
ol these things, however, touched with fearful
foreboding Hie heart and brainof Chaucer. Ho
lought in the French wars he was, indeed,
made a prisoner Ly flic French. He knew how
the terrible de-nilations of the Black Death,
among other results, introduced into the ranks
of the clergy a crowd of ignorant and wholly
unworthy nien. He knew all about Wat the
Tiler from Deptford and the .Scotch wars too.
He was perfectly familiar with the scandal of the
rival Infallibilities, who kept thundering ever
lasting damnation against each other and their
respective followings; and ho must have heard
that at Avignon, iu the terrible words of Pe
trarch. Christ was sold for lust and gold. Clearly
a mere theologian must have fancied that the
end literally of all things was at hand. But
Chaucer was u genial and healthful poet. He
continued young iu his own heart, lie Te.U that
England was young. Was not her language
growing under ins own nanus.-' Was not Kng
lands vitality pregnant with still larger results
than had yet been witnessed in her brief history?
Was Providence about to slay the mother and
her unborn nihiiit.' Were not all things (as he
teds us in the great poem the '-Knight's Tale")
linked bv a chain of love around the throne of
.love: and was this England, in its present seeth
ing condition, to be tlie lame and impotent con
clusion ot a great world-drama.-' Why, was not
the "Alchemist Canon," while laboring in tlie
tires iu search for the philosopher's stone, a
mediator ot some grand secrets of which the
world was yet to be heir.-' ould not the "poor
person or a tonne no tne neraid ot a day iu
which the Christianity of Christ .would
be revealed to Englishmen disassociated
from all pagan rites and dogma
tism ? Did not the heterogeneous
gathering ol pilgrims on the road to Canterbury
prophesy a uav lor l-.ngland when all nie'i
should be equal in the presence of England's
law. because all were really embraced in that
"iiospcl ot our siicto l.orde -lesti (.linste which
England had adopted as her common faith
l.hiiucir uninistnKiU'ly thought so. and accord
ingly he did two things. He gave the rlassiral
past to his contemporaries.aml in full assurance
id laith that a great future lav in store for his
country, he sate down and painted his own age
lor the delight and instruction of posterity
There is not a feature of the English landscape
scarcely a specimen of English natural history,
or a characteristic habit of English manners
which lie has not photographed, and so
made an everlasting possession to his country
men, iluis it was that while Wrcliflewas
announcing the world's immediate doom,
t haueer was bu-y in telling to later generations
what Englishmen thought and did, how they
prayed. lasted. Toasted, went on pilgrimage
loved, fought, and died in his own day.
English out and out as we have said ho is, the
many-sutcuness or i haueer claims special note.
All classes of Englishmen meet together in his
pilgrims. The ploughman is there with Ills
image of "Christopher ' on his breast; und hero
we must note that in this feature Chaucer
showed himself fully alive to the profound in
tluence of the popular legends of his day. Three
figures were eminently prominent in tho con
sciousness of the middle ages "Faust." the-'Wan-dering
.lew." and "Christopher:" and in signaliz
ing the ploughman as carrying the image of St.
Christopher. Chaucer only proclaimed how
truly he divined the latent characteristic of
all-enduring national life: that is. the willingness
of the strong to support tho weak. But side bv
side with the ploughman, are the knight, the
suuire, tlie lawyer, the doctor, the friar, tlie
merchant, tlie cook, and thej miller. England
is to Chaucer a sacred unity, and his prophetic
function will have had the crown put upon it
when all men in England shall recognize
not merely the worm ot the Nixon prie
Becket, who fought against the Normans,
but shall confess Jesus Christ, the elder brothe
of all humanity, to tie the invine Due at whose
shrine in the holy ot holies in the human heart
all knees must bow.
Chaucer's plan of a pilgrimage to Canterbury
was not earned out. At the lauard inn i
Southwark 31 pilgrims in all assembled on the
great night which he has niado immortal, and.
according to tho programme of Harry Bailey,
the landlord, each plilgrim was to tell two
stories on tlie road to Canterbury and two on re
turning. AVe should thus have had altogether
I'M different tales, but our poet has not com
pleted his original scheme. Indeed, in a pro
saic mood, we wonder how even one story could
ever have been listened to by a company on
horseback. Evidently, Chaucer felt tho drama
tie elements of the pilgrimage, but did not care
to work them out. He indulges iu a kind of
illusion ut starting, to half impose on his readeis,
and then, while occasionally keeping up the ori
ginal conception, he is contented, iu the main,
to let each story make it own impression, heed
less of its consistency with his promised
Intention. Altogether his poems, and
specially his "Canterbury Tales," rank,
as we must think, next to .Shakespeare and
Milton, highest in our poetical literature. Their
range, their familiarity with all subjects, secular,
philosophic und divine; their childlike delight
in nature, their sweetness, their pathos, their
hnmor, their lifelike portraitures of men and
women, their individuality, which makes tho
poet so personally dear to us all, constitute tho
writings of Chaucer a treasure quite unique iu
our literature. He sees, and says all that ho
sees. The theology of the predestinarian divine
Bradwardine, the philosophic utterances of
Cicero, Aristotle and Bocthuis, whom he trans
lated, arc all ut his linger-euds. He has pre
served as in amber the common proverbs of his
day, such as "All is not gold that glitters,"
'Burnt bairns dread the tiro." "Murder will
out," "Make a virtue of necessity," aud num
berless others. Doubtless, us Mr. Browne afllnns,
he Is truly "ntiditarian, out, no never gioais
over evil. He shows his age such as it was the
worst of it ns represented by such unmitigated
blackguards as the IStimmoner, or .s'ou;ior,
nnd tho best of it as imaged by Grisclda, Con
stance, the Frankleyu, the Ploughman, and his
brother tho Poor Parson, and if lie is at times a
course moralist, he is always, as W ordsworth
baid, a great one.
He combined in himself no end of attributes.
He was royal page, soldier, custom-house otli
cer. commissioner to foreign parts, member of
Parliament, and poet, all in one. His genius
was, like Walter Scott's, only equalled by his
common sense; and alter repeated studies ot ins
life, we feel, with Coleridge, that the most su
perlicial words ever uttered about poets were
those of Horace, in which he speaks of them as
an "irritable race." Poetasters, or small politi
cians, who have narrow vision and no faith iu
tho "'radual development of all that is good, are
Irritable. But the true poet, filled with tho light
of heaven, sees tlie good within tlie evil, and
thus can calmly wail for its advent. Of this
calibre were Shakespeare, and Spenser, aud
" 'vo ui'ust leave much unsaid, but must not
leave unuttercd how much of purest enjoyment
this entirely delightful book ol Matthew Browne
has afforded us. Mr. Browne s so tangential
s "viewy," so skvlarklng iu his occasional
tendencies, that we must congratulate) him on
t e n" liiul, wisdoni. and Chaucerian wit of this
hook Ho makes, no doubt, a serious onslaught
on Dante, but it is not to damnatory as was that
oi Savage Lauder.
