Tiffin, Walter F. Gossip about Portraits, Lon., 1866, p. Svo.

Tighe, H. U. History of Commerce, Lon., 8vo. Tighe, Mary, the daughter of the Rev. William Blachford, by Theodosia, the daughter of William Tighe, of Rosanna, co. Wicklow, Ireland, was married to Henry Tighe, M.P., of Woodstock, co. Wicklow, and d. March 24, 1810, after an illness of six years. Perhaps she is better known to many as the subject of Moore's touching lyric, "I saw Thy Form in Youthful Prime," and Mrs. Hemans's "Grave of a Poetess," than by her own exquisite verses. Her poem of Psyche, or the Legend of Love, (founded on the story of Cupid and Psyche as related in the Golden Ass of Apuleius,) was privately printed (100 copies) by C. Whittingham, Lon., 1805, 12mo, pp. 214. After her death appeared: Psyche, with other Poems, by the Late Mrs. Henry Tighe, (with portrait,) 1811, large 4to, pp. 314; 3d ed., 1811, 8vo; Phila., 1812, 12mo; again, Lon., 1812, 8vo; 1813, 8vo; 1816, 8vo; Psyche, 1843, 24mo; also pub. with Apuleius's Golden Ass, 1853, p. 8vo, (Bohn's Class. Lib., li.) Psyche, written in the Spenserian stanza, managed with great skill, is in six cantos.

"The three last cantos . . . are beyond all doubt the most "-SIR faultless series of verses ever produced by a woman.' JAMES MACKINTOSH: Life, ii. ch. iii., (q. v.)

The Psyche of Mrs. Tighe has a languid beauty, probably resembling that of her person. . . . The greater part of the poem is little worth, except as a strain of elegance; but now and then we meet with a fancy not unworthy a pupil of Spenser."-LEIGH HUNT: Men, Women, and Books, ii.: Spec. of Brit. Poetesses, No. ii.

"An adventurous and elaborate effort, full of power and beauty, which wanted only a little more artistic skill and concentration to have entitled it to a place among first-class productions."-D. M. MOIR: Sketches of Poet. Lit., 3d ed., 1856, 37.

us,

priety, in the language that a man uses. An author excellent

LOCKE: Some Thoughts concerning Reading and Study.

"Art, eloquence, and perspicuity appear in the utmost per-
fection in Tillotson's sermons; and when I would labour to com-
pose a sermon, I would prepare my mind, and consequently my
style, with reading some few of those discourses beforehand."-
DR. WOTTON: On Studying Divinity.

[ocr errors]

Happy is the man who can form his style on that of Tillotson!"-DEAN STANHOPE.

"He is all over natural and easy in the most unconstrained and freest elegancy of thoughts and words: his course, both in his reasoning and his style, like a gentle and an even current, is clear and deep, and calm and strong. His language is so pure,

no water can be more; it floweth with so free, uninterrupted a

stream, that it never stoppeth the reader or itself. Every word possesseth its proper place."-DR. H. FELTON.

"His sermons interest the heart and convince the understanding. Ease and perspicuity, good sense and sincere piety, are their distinguishing character. His many excellencies considered, he will forever remain the boast of this nation, as one of its best writers, and probably as its ablest divine."-ARCHDEACON TODD.

"The unaffected of every country nearly resemble each other, and a page of our Confucius and your Tillotson have scarce any material difference."-GOLDSMITH.

"By reading Tillotson's works with care and observation, you will not only learn true notions of religion, but also the way and manner of writing English correctly and purely. His style I take to be the best standard of the English language." -ROBERT NELSON: Letters to George Harper.

Bickersteth thought his "notions of religion" not unexceptionable:

"His low views of sacrifices have been justly commented on by Archbishop Magee, [Discourses on the Atonement, ii. 219– 231. It is the general withholding of the all-enlivening and vivifying doctrines of the gospel, and frequent statements which tend another way, (statements to which the excesses of former times seem to have given rise.) that form our grand objections to the divinity of Tillotson."-Christian Student, 4th ed., 285. See, also, GIBSON, EDMUND, No. 9, (quotation from Bickersteth.) “Tillotson's method is clear; his notions of religion are much in the Arminian strain; his style is defective both in harmony of numbers and energy of manner."-DR. WILLIAMS: Christian Student, 5th ed., 316.

"Simplicity is the great beauty of Archbishop Tillotson's manner.... His style is always pure, indeed, and perspicuous, but careless and remiss; too often feeble and languid; little beauty in the construction of his sentences, which are frequently suffered to drag unharmoniously; seldom any attempt towards strength or sublimity."-DR. BLAIR: Rhetoric and B.-L., Lect. XIX., (q. v.) See, also, Lects, X., XI., XIII., XV.

"You cannot sleep with Taylor; you cannot forbear thinking with Barrow. But you may be much at your ease in the midst of a long lecture from Tillotson,-clear and rational and equable as he is. Perhaps the last quality may account for it."— BISHOP WARBURTON: Letters from a Late Em. Prelate, Lett. I. "Without soaring to the height of eloquence, Tillotson refined the language of the pulpit."-CHATEAUBRIAND: Sketches of Eng. Lit., ii. 195.

"Tillotson's merit is unquestionably great; . . . but there are those who venture to suggest that he has been too much celebrated as a model of fine composition."-DR. KNOX.

"His words are frequently ill chosen, and almost always ill

placed his periods are both tedious and unharmonious, as his

metaphors are generally mean, and often ridiculous."-WILLIAM MELMOTH: Fitzosborne's Letters.

"I should not advise a preacher at this day to imitate Tillotson's style: though I don't know; I should be cautious of objecting to what has been applauded by so many suffrages."DR. JOHNSON: Life, by Boswell, ch. Ixii.

"He [Johnson) could but just endure the smooth verbosity of Tillotson."-SIR JOHN HAWKINS.

"The sermons of Tillotson were for half a century more read than any in our language. They are now bought almost as waste paper, and hardly read at all. Such is the fickleness of religious taste, as abundantly numerons instances would prove. Tillotson is reckoned verbose and languid. He has not the former defect in nearly so great a degree as some of his eminent predecessors; but there is certainly little vigour or vivacity in his style. ... Tillotson is always of a tolerant and catholic spirit, enforcing right actions rather than orthodox opinions, and obnoxious, for that and other reasons, to all the bigots of his own age."-HALLAM: Lit. Hist. of Europe, 4th ed., 1854, iii. 297.

See. also, STILLINGFLEET, EDWARD, D.D., (quotations from Hallam and Burnet.)

"Archbishop Tillotson has pronounced an authoritative opinion in favour of Natural Religion as essential to the proof of Revealed. His admirable sermons abound in such statements, thus, in the 41st. . . . The sermon on Steadfastness in Relivion, one of the Archbishop's great masterpieces, and in which he demonstrates against Rome the right of private judg ment, tallies with the 41st in the doctrine on Natural Religion." -LORD BROUGHAM: Discourse on Natural Theology, ed. 1856, 135, n.
