band just in time . Death , more kind than man , came in with his effectual divorce to save her . or all the lectures addressed to her would have been vain . Lady Nugent is a failure , and her character might be altogether
omitted with advantage to the story . There is one point in relation to her which appears to us peculiarly erroneous in principle . She had married a man she did not love , and for this she is represented as regarded with disgust by her most valued friend , to whom she tells the history of her life . She had been a fchnpte country girl , loved by 5 and deeply loving * a man who sought her entire , devoted affection . But she , full of intellect and genius , felt unquenchable aspirations after fame . She wrote , published , was extravagantly praised by the public , and immediately deserted by the man she loved , who would have her entirety his own , or not at all . Nearly heart-broken , she renounced affeotion ,
and married a lord for his title and wealth . This was not refinement or high delicacy of feeling , but the disgust , if felt at all , should have fallen on the man whose selfishness caused it . Besides , there is an inconsistency in forgetting Harriet ' s fault of the same nature , and making so much of Lady Nugent ' s . These objections to a work of so much merit are only macte to certain parts of it , which appear as blemishes on its excellence ; and even while offering them , they are forgotten in th&
much more agreeable recollection of its many beauties .

I ' he a bird of chance , for such fare best hi life ' s clear fields ; I'll think not for the morrow . When stalks old Care , my bosom fc > invest With ash and sackcloth , and my brow to furrow , I'll bid him quaff himself his natural sorrow ; For ' tis as yet my fresh youth ' s nectar'd hour , And of bis cruise I would not beg or borrow . I'll use grief ' s tears as linnet' doth the shower , Ami hope for love ' s sweet draught , as hopc . th rain the flower . ,
Fair betal thee Aged Man , Shall I ever know thee ; Shall 1 ever feel the grave Which thy staff doth show me ? Youthful blood ' s a beaming river , Washing Kden ' a bowers for ever .
