pointed Secretary to the Lords Justices of Ireland in 1724, and held this post until his death, April 23, 1740. He gained Addison's eye by his complimentary verses on the great man's Rosamond, (in Tonson's Sixth Miscellany, 1709,) and later won his affections, which he never lost, by his personal merits and social virtues.

The First Book of Homer's Iliad, Translated into English Verse by Thomas Tickell, Esq., 1715, 4to. We have already adverted (ADDISON, JOSEPH; POPE, ALEXANDER: 9.

"Is there any external evidence to support this grave accnsation? The answer is short. There is absolutely none."-LORD 1843, and in his Essays. MACAULAY: Life and Writings of Addison: Edin. Rev., July,

Addison owned that he had corrected Tickell's lines, and Lord Macaulay-Warburton, Steele, and Young to the contrary notwithstanding-believes that he did no more. See, also, Biog. Brit., 2d ed., (1778) 56, art.

"Addison."

"Addison declared that the rival versions were both good, but that Tickell's was the best that ever was made. The palm

is now given universally to Pope; but I think the first lines of Tickell's were rather to be preferred, and Pope seems to have since borrowed something from them in the correction of his own."-DR. JOHNSON: Life of Tickell, in his Lives of the Poets, P. Cunningham's ed., 1854, ii. 321, 323. See, also, Tickell's Poems, 1779, sm. Svo, (Johnson's English Poets.)

Tickell's poems will be found in Chalmers's English Poets, vol. xi., and some of them in several of the collections of the British poets. An American edition of his Poems was published Boston, 1854, 16mo. See, also, PARNELL, THOMAS. The longest of his other poems not here noticed is Kensington Garden, first published in 1722: a greater favourite was his ballad of Colin and Lucy. He contemplated a translation of the whole of the Iliad, (which he abandoned in favour, or fear, of Pope,) and commenced translations of the Odyssey and Lucan; nor should it be forgotten that he contributed papers to The Spectator and The Guardian; but his fame will ever rest on his Elegy to Addison, prefixed to his edition of that poet's Works, (1721, 4 vols. 4to, some 1. p.,) of which Dr. Johnson declares that there is not "a more sublime or more elegant funeral poem to be found in the whole compass of English literature." This eulogy has not escaped criticism; and Steele's verdict that the Elegy is only prose in rhyme" has been recently (Knight's Eng. Cyc., Biog., vi., 1858, 52) cordially endorsed. Yet Johnson's commendation is supported by eminent authorities:

"This Elegy by Mr. Tickell is one of the finest in our language. There is so little new that can be said upon the death of a friend, after the complaints of Ovid and the Latin Italians in this way, that one is surprised to see so much novelty in this to strike us, and so much interest to affect."-GOLDSMITH.

"Many tributes were paid to the memory of Addison; but one alone is now remembered. Tickell bewailed his friend in an elegy which would do honour to the greatest name in our literature, and which unites the energy and magnificence of Dryden Life and Writings of Addison, (ut supra.) to the tenderness and purity of Cowper."-LORD MACAULAY:

"Tickell's verses on Addison's death perfect. Liked much of his Kensington."-C. J. Fox: Recollec. by S. Rogers, 1859, 58.

Ticknor, George, LL.D. For the following excellent biographical sketch of the historian of Spanish literature, I am indebted to a distinguished scholar, who stated that he "should be better pleased not to appear as the author." This decision--and, alas! it is now too late to solicit its reconsideration-I am bound to respect. Justice to myself-for I would not use as my own the production of another-demands that I say thus much; duty to my trust forbids me to say

more.

"George Ticknor, a distinguished historical writer and man of letters, was born at Boston, Massachusetts, on the first of August, 1791. From a very early age he showed a passion for books, which, under the judicious nurture which he received at home, became still stronger as he grew in years. While yet a boy, he passed his examination for admission into Dartmouth College, Hanover, where he took his degree when hardly sixteen years old. Far from regarding this as the completion of his education, he wisely considered it as only the beginning of it. On returning home, he gave three years more to his favourite studies. In order to get a more thorough acquaintance with the aucients, he became a pupil of the Rev. Dr. Gardiner, an excellent divine, eminent for his classical attainments, and who had received his own education under the celebrated Dr. Parr.

"When nineteen years old, Mr. Ticknor entered the office of an eminent lawyer in Boston, and after the usual term of preparation was regularly admitted to the bar. But, although he had pursued his professional studies with assiduity, he was satisfied that his vocation-or, at least, his taste-lay in the direction of letters rather than of law. stances were, fortunately, such as to enable the young student His father's circumto consult his taste in the selection of his profession. Having thus chosen his career, Mr. Ticknor now resolved to make himself a scholar in the best sense of the word. In 1815 he went to Europe, where the well-stored libraries and admirable apparatus for instruction gave him greater facilities for accomplishing his purpose than he could have found in his own country. Two years he passed at Göttingen, attending the lectures of the University, and devoting himself to philological studies, especially to the ancient classics. Two years longer he remained in Europe, chiefly on the Continent, passing most of his time in the princi pal capitals, as affording obvious advantages for a critical study of the national literatures. During his absence he was [in 1817] appointed to fill the chair of Smith Professor of Modern Languages and Literature in Harvard College, Cambridge; and he accepted an office so congenial with his own taste and previous studies. In 1819 he returned to the United States, bringing with him a valuable library which he had collected in the different European capitals. This, in time, has grown to be one of the largest private collections in the country, and, for the rarity and importance of the books, is unsurpassed, in some of its departments, by any private collection in Europe. This is especially true of those departments which came within the range 2416

TIC

of his professorship, and which were admirably supplied with whatever could throw light on the academic career on which he was to enter. Lectures on modern literature form one of the

chief duties of the Smith professor. Mr. Ticknor during his connection with the university gave long and elaborate courses on both the French and Spanish literatures. He also entered into a critical analysis of such writers as Dante, Göthe, Milton, audience of the lectures, instead of being confined to students, Shakspere, those master-spirits who have stamped the peculiar character of their genius on the poetry of their nations. The was increased by persons without the walls of the college, attracted not merely by the interest of the subject, but by the skill exhibited by the critic, his luminous and often eloquent diction, and the impressive manner of his delivery. After holding his office for fifteen years, Mr. Ticknor [in 1835] resigned it, spend some years with his family. His labours were attended preparatory to another visit to Europe, where he proposed to with signal benefit to the university. He was the first professor on the Smith foundation, and the duty devolved on him of giving Harvard, suggested several valuable improvements in the system a complete organization to the department, which includes a number of teachers. He, moreover, during his connection with of discipline, for which he had derived the hints from the Gerclassics. Mr. Ticknor spent three years in his second visit to man universities. Finally, he had greatly extended the range of intellectual culture among the students at the university, Europe, and after his return set about the preparation of his where literary instruction had hitherto been confined to the great work. At the close of 1849 the History of Spanish Literature' made its appearance in England and the United States. Humboldt, in a letter dated [June 19, 1850] shortly after its publication, pronounced its panegyric in a single sentence, declaring it a masterly work.' The judgment of the illustrious German was speedily confirmed by that of the leading journals both in might be thought, would have restricted the demand for the Europe and our own country. The nature of the subject, it book to a comparatively small number of readers. But the extent of the sales-to the credit of our country-proved the contrary, confirming the remark of the Edinburgh Review, [Oct. 1850, 400,] that perhaps of all compositions of the kind Mr. Ticknor's work has the most successfully combined popularity of style with sound criticism and extensive research within its own department.' The edition published in England met with the auspices of eminent men of letters, who have added to the the most cordial reception from the scholars of that country; while in Germany and in Spain translations soon appeared, under value of their labours by their own annotations. It is unnecessary to go into the discussion of a work the merits of which have been so well established in both hemispheres. We will dismiss it with the remark that, although purporting to be sula; and, independently of its stores of bibliographical inforsimply a history of literature, it is conducted on such principles as to exhibit most vividly the social civilization of the Peninmation for the use of the scholar, it will be no less serviceable to they have been affected by the peculiar institutions of the the student of history, who would acquaint himself with the country." character and condition of the Spaniard and see in what manner

From the many reviews of this admirable work lying before me, a few lines each from eight or nine, written in different countries, must suffice:

"No one that has not been in Spain can feel half the merit of your work; but to those who have, it is a perpetual banquet. It is well worth a lifetime to achieve such a work."- Washington Irring to the Author, Feb. 15, 1850: Irving's Life and Letters, iv. 69.

stored and accomplished mind in his recent work on the Litera

"Observaciones sobre la Historia de la Literatura Española, de Jorje Ticknor, ciudadano de los Estados-Unidos: por Don Andres Bello.

"La necesidad de una obra de esta specie se habia hecho sentir largo tiempo en el estudio de la literatura española; i nos complacemos en anunciar que Mr. Ticknor ha llenado del modo mas satisfactorio este vacio. No solo ha concentrado, juzgado i| rectificado cuanto se habia escrito sobre el mismo asunto dentro i fuera de España, sino que a lo ya conocido añade de su proprio caudal multitud de datos biográficos i bibliograficos que estaban al alcance de pocos, i que ha sabido traer a colacion con mucha oportunidad i discernimiento. Los aficionidas á las letras castellanas hallarán en el erudito Norte-Americano un juez intelígente, capaz de apreciar lo bello i grande bajo las formas peculiares de cada país i cada siglo; tan ajena del vigorismo superficial que califica las producciones del injenio por las reglas convencionales de un sistema esclusivo, como de las ilusiones de aquellos que se saborean, no solo con lo tosco i bárbaro, sino hasta con lo trivial i rastrero, si pertenecen a épocas o jeneros predilectos; descarrios uno i otro nada raros, el primero en los

siglos anteriores al nuestro, i el segundo en nuestros dias. Pero

lo que mas realza esta obra es, a ni juicio, la parte historica, el encadenamiento filosófico de los hechos, la sagacidad con que se rastrean las fuentes, la lucidez con que se pone a nuestra vista el desarrollo del jenio nacional en los varios ramos de literatura,' &c.-Anales de la Universidad de Chile, Santiago, 1852, p. 197.

"We have in the work before us a delightful addition to the class of literary biography, for which we venture to predict a wide and enduring popularity. It is the biography of one who was not only an eminent man of letters, but also, in his privato character and personal relations, one of the most frank, amiable, warm-hearted, and open-hearted of human beings. It is written by a man who from early youth was his intimate friend,

and knew and understood him as well as one man can know and understand another,-whom all the common friends of the two would have pointed out as the most proper person to do the Jan. 1864, 1. work which he has done."-GEORGE S. HILLARD: N. Amer. Rev.,

"His biographer-a life-long friend-appears to have wrought in a similar spirit, and to have produced a memoir whose perfect adequacy to its end leaves hardly any scope for criticism.”—

Lon. Reader, 1864, i. 258.

See, also, Atlantic Mon., Jan. 1864, and Amer. Quar. Church Rev. and Eccles. Reg., July, 1864.

"Our best literary biography, in the strict sense of the term, is Ticknor's Life of Prescott.' It is the work of a scholar and a friend; its facts are drawn from intimate personal knowledge; its spirit is inspired by rare intellectual sympathy, and its execution controlled by disciplined taste."-New York Tribune, Feb. 5, 1870.

This is a labour of love which the subject of it but little foresaw:

"I suppose." he remarked to Mr. Milburn, only a few hours before his sudden death, "that Ticknor will never write another book; but he has been doing perhaps better for the community and posterity, by devoting himself for several years to the interests of the Boston City Library, which may be taken in good part as his work; and a more valuable contribution to the good of the people has seldom been made. It is a rare thing for such an institution to get a man so qualified, by taste, knowledge, and accomplishment, to look after its interests with such energy and patience."-Prescott Memorial, N. York, 1859, xxvi.

But, as we have seen, Mr. Ticknor was to write at least one "other book,"-the Life of the friend of many years, who thus praised him from a full heart. On looking over Prescott's letters to myself, I find the following lines

under date of Dec. 4, 1854:

"I hope it will be long before I am called on to do the good turn to my friend Ticknor of writing his obituary."

Mr. Ticknor has also since commemorated the talents and virtues of another friend, in his-10. Remarks on the Character of the Late Edward Everett, made at a Meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Jan. 30, 1865; from the Memorial of Edward Everett, 1865, r. 8vo, 1. p., pp. 16.

I should not forget to add, as a proof that Mr. Ticknor's zeal on behalf of the Public Library of the City of Boston has lost nothing of its ardour, that in 1860 he contributed to its shelves at one time nearly two thousand

volumes.
