ford, a POLITE writer in the nineteenth century, is authorised to apply these words, all-amort' without taste or effect. Stapylton, Holyday, and other translators, who, like Mr. Gifford, have degraded Juvenal, are often more disgusting: therefore Mr. Gifford merits applause for his vulgar carica ture. Mr. Gifford a school-boy, imperfectly translated one of the satires of Juvenal: therefore Mr. Gifford a man, engaged during many years to execute a complete translation, expects that we should receive, without a murmur, his defective school-exercise, instead of his matured version. He is disappointed by a friend, his publisher is impatient, and the month of May commences: therefore, after his subscribers have waited nearly twenty years, Mr. Gifford withholds his own labour, of a week, or a month, to translate the sixteenth satire, and neglects to publish his work complete. Such is the genuine strength of his apology. Admirable logician! Soyez plutôt maçon, si c'est votre talent ; We have cautiously re-examined this translation; and, although inclined To mitigate the SHARP with gracious drops we cannot, without incurring a stain on our honour and reproaches on our discernment, diminish the severity of a sentence, which, with the purest equity, we might increase. Of a versification, coarse, immelodious, and unclassical,a grotesque phraseology, rarely characteristic of the author, inappropriately colloquial and often barbarous,-repeated instances will disgust every unbiassed scholar : Absurd expressions, crude abortive thoughts, Humble assistants in the vestibule of literature, we shall ever strive to defend the classical altars of antiquity from the polluted touch of unhallowed invaders. We have yet only exhibited this writhing MARSYAS deservedly flay'd.' His impotent invectives naturally arise from the operation which he has endured, and meet our ears like the teasing murmurs of an irritated but harmless fly. His entire dissection may afford curious mate rials for a future review. The morbid phænomena then to be disclosed will best determine the force of our pretensions to 'a little' recondite learning, and a little' skill in critical anatomy. 6 Abashed as a man of letters, Mr. Gifford assumes, in this publication, the airs and so forth' of a gentleman. His breeding is clearly apparent in his demeanour. Personalities and brutal insolence directed to the proprietor of this Journal exceed the sphere of literary contention, and merit a simple return by one kind of argument-the genus BACULINUM. Mr. Gifford knows that the peculiar duties of our situation imperiously forbid us to unmask. His guilty cowardice,' therefore, blusters most heroically. He is secure! Undisturbed, we bid a peaceful and, for his own sake, we hope, a long farewell to Mr. Gifford, UNO DI QUE' ROZZI SCARABOCCHI, CHE SCHICCHERAVA CO' SUOI PENNELLI L'ANTICO GIUVENALE.

Mr. Maltby in the second edition of his excellent work; as well as the Attic zóλos for Toλews see p. 440.
