"NEW YORK, April 28, 1870.-George Wilkes, the proprietor of the Spirit of the Times, has received from the Emperor of Russia the grand cross of the Order of St. Stanislas, as a recognition for the suggestion made to the Russian Government in reference to an overland railway to China and India by the way of Russia. This mark of royal favour entitles the holder to have his male children at the Military School of Russia at the expense of the State." Wilkes, John, the son of a distiller of Clerkenwell, and b. at that place, Oct. 17, 1727, was educated at the University of Leyden, where he acquired a taste for classical literature, which he retained through life; married in 1749 to Miss Mead, ten years his senior, from whom he was separated after the birth of one daughter, well known to the readers of his Letters: M.P. for Aylesbury, 1757, and again, 1761; commenced The North Briton, (weekly,) June, 1762, and in No. 45 (April 23, 1763) of that paper published an attack on the King, which led, April 30, to his arrest under a General Warrant, (declared by Chief-Justice Pratt, afterwards Lord Camden, to be "unconstitutional, illegal, and also absolutely void,") and caused his expulsion, Jan. 19, 1764, from the House of Commons: convicted in the Court of King's Bench, Feb. 21, 1764, of Wilkes, Captain Charles, a distinguished officer republishing No. 45 of The North Briton, and of of the United States Navy, b. in New York, 1805, en- printing and publishing an Essay on Woman; chosen tered the service, 1818 or 1819.

Reader, 1865, i. 195, (by A. Petermann.) "This great and truly national American work is published in a style of superior beauty, containing 64 large and finished Line Engravings, embracing Scenery, Portraits, Manners, Customs, &c.; 47 exquisite Steel Vignette: about 250 finely executed Wood-cut Illustrations; 14 large and small Maps and sive elections by the same constituency, and four times refused admittance, on the ground of incapacity in consequence of previous expulsion; Alderman of Farringdon Without, April 24, 1770; Sheriff of London, 1774; M.P. for Middlesex, Oct. 10, 1774; took his seat without molestation, and sat in the House for many years, his last election, still for Middlesex, occurring in 1784; Chamberlain of London from Dec. 1, 1779, until his death, Dec. 26, 1797. Perhaps no unprincipled demagogue could ever more directly trace the successes of his life to the indiscretion of his enemies. In the two great questions-General Warrants and alleged legislative incapacity-with which his name was prominently connected, he was so clearly in the right that many who despised the man were obliged by their regard for the principles of constitutional liberty to do battle in his cause. But of his character we shall have more to say-or quote-hereafter. 1.

This infamous poem, a fitting production for the "Monks of Medmenhall Abbey," was printed at Wilkes's private press. It was, according to Horace Walpole, (see his Letter to Mann, Nov. 24, 1747,) the joint work of Wilkes and Thomas Potter: but see below. The Essay on Woman, a parody on Pope's Essay on Man, with Notes, (pretended to be written by Bishop Warburton,) is followed by a parody on Pope's Universal Prayer, and the Veni Creator. Almon (Life of Wilkes, i. 140) says that twelve copies were struck off; Horace Walpole (Letters to Lord Hertford) says fourteen; a friend of Mr. Martin (Martin's Bibl. Account of P. P. Books, ed. 1854, 565, see, also, 58) asserts that "there never was a perfect edition of the original work, or an edition at all. Only four sheets are said to have been printed;" and Wilkes himself tells us (Letter to the Electors of Aylesbury, in Gent. Mag., 1764, 583) that "Not quite a fourth part of the volume had been printed at my own private press. The work had been discontinued for several months before I had the least knowledge of the theft [of a copy for the Government prosecutor.] Of that fourth part, only twelve copies were worked off, and I never gave one of these copies to any friend."

See, also, 132, 147, 158, 172, 198. We give some more quotations from Walpole respect ing (we can find very little respecting) Wilkes: "Wilkes is here, and has been twice to see me in my illness. He was very civil, but I cannot say entertained me much. I saw no wit; his conversation shows how little he has lived in good company, and the chief turn of it is the grossest bawdry."To George Montagu, Paris, Oct. 16, 1765: Letters, ut sup., iv. 421. "What instance is there of such a demagogue subsisting and maintaining a war against a king, minister, courts of law, a whole legislature, and all Scotland, for nine years together? Masaniello did not, I think, last five days. Wilkes, in prison, is chosen member of Parliament, and then Alderman of London. His colleagues betray him, desert him, expose him, and he be comes Sheriff of London. I believe, if he were to be hanged. he would be made King of England.-I don't think King of Great Britain."-To Sir Horace Mann, July 6, 1771: Letters, ut sup., v. 313. "London, Westminster, Middlesex, seem to have no monarch but Wilkes, who is at the same time pushing for the mayoralty of London, with hitherto a majority on the poll.

"September the 23d, [1762,] Colonel Wilkes, of the Buckinghamshire Militia, dined with us.... I scarcely ever met with a better companion; he has inexhaustible spirits, infinite wit and humour, and a great deal of knowledge. He told us himself that in this time of public dissension, he was resolved to make his fortune."-EDMUND GIBBON: Memoirs, ed. 1837, 64. Gibbon, on another occasion, thus characterizes him : "A thorough profligate in principle as in practice; his life stained with every vice, and his conversation full of blasphemy and indecency. These morals he glories in; for shame is a weakness he has long since surmounted." Mr. Wilkes was the pleasantest companion, the politest gentleman, and the best scholar I ever knew."-LORD MANSFIELD. "Did we not hear so much said of Jack Wilkes, we should think more highly of his conversation. Jack has a great variety of talk, Jack is a scholar, and Jack has the manners of a gentleman.

"When we came to John Wilkes, whose ugly countenance in early youth was very striking, I asked earnestly who he was. ... I came to know Wilkes very well afterward, and found him to be a sprightly, entertaining fellow,-too much so for his years, as he was but eighteen; for even then he showed something of daring profligacy, for which he was afterward notorious."-REV.

"Wilkes had, till very lately, been known chiefly as one of the most profane, licentious, and agreeable rakes about town. He was a man of taste, reading, and engaging manners. sprightly conversation was the delight of green-rooms and His taverns, and pleased even grave hearers when he was sufficiently under restraint to abstain from detailing the particulars of his amours and from breaking jests on the New Testament. His expensive debaucheries forced him to have recourse to the Jews. He was soon a ruined man, and determined to try his chance as a political adventurer. In Parliament he did not succeed. speaking, though pert, was feeble, and by no means interested His his hearers so much as to make them forget his face, which was so hideous that the caricaturists were forced, in their own despite, to flatter him.

Although it is true, as the editor well remarks, that the Concilia of Wilkins was a monument of gigantic labour and learning, and worthily claimed both to rival and to supplant the work, for the date equally wonderful, of Wilkins's own predecessor Spelman,'-yet, looking to the new materials for such a collection which have been discovered of late years, and the sounder canons of present historical and philological knowledge, it must be admitted that the Concilia is not calculated to satisfy the requirements of modern scholarship."-Notes and Queries, Feb. 27, 1869, 207.
