Apples few, THE 1853 Gentleman's Magazine: For OCTOBER, BEING THE FOURTH 1791. NUMBER OF VOL. LXI. PART II Mr. URBAN, Wefminfer, O&. 13. R. LODGE, in the third volume of his late valuMlication*, pp. 178, 179, able and interefting pub. has made fome strictures XXX on the article of the Lady Arabella Stuart, in the "Biographia Britannica," and has blamed the authors for faying, that "fhe was far from being either beautiful in her perfon, or from being diftinguished by any extraordinary qualities of mind." The juftice of Mr. Lodge's objections to thefe affertions I freely acknowledge; but must beg leave to ob. ferve, that his cenfure is delivered in too hafty and indifcriminate a manner. His charge properly relates only to the old articles; and, if he had adverted to the addition which is made to that arti cle in the fecond impreffion of the "Biographia," he would have found that I have given a very different account of the Lady Arabella, both with regard to her understanding and perfon. This too, I did, without having thofe advan tages M. Lodge has enjoyed by the poffeflion of the Talbot papers. Will you indulge me, Mr. Urban, in tranfcribing what I have faid on the fubjett? "Mr. Ballard hath given a place to the Lady Arabella, in his Memoirs of British Ladies, who have been celebrated for their Writings or Skill in the learned Languages, Arts, and Sciences.' His reafons for fo doing are, that Mr. Evelyn, in his 'Num:fmata,' hath put her in his lift of learned wo men; and Mr. Philips, in his Theatrum affigned her the rank they have done. Three letters of hers are transcribed, by Mr. Ballard, from a MS volume in Mr. Ashmole's ftudy, which prove her to have been a woman of a good understanding. We shall add, from the fame author, a fhort copy of Latin verfes, addreffed to the Lady Arabella, by the noted epigrammatift Mr. John Owen, together with a tranflation of them by Mr. Thomas Harvey. Si foret in nudis virtus aut gloria verbis, In laudes facerem carmina milie tuas ; Nobilitare poteft noftram tua gloria mufam; At tibi mufa poteft addere noftra nihil.' 'If in bare words were honour, I couldraife, Could write a thoufand verfes in thy pra fe; My Mufe may by thy worth ennobled be, But my poor Mufe can nothing add to thee.' "We learn from Mr. Granger, that the print of her, which is very rare, is thus in fcribed, The picture of the moit noble and learned Lady Arabella Stewart. "As there are thefe teftimonies to the Lady Arabella s having had a better understanding than is mentioned in the text, fo it fhould feem, from Mr. Oldys's Manufcripts, that he had, at least when young, a far greater share of beauty than is above reprefented. From a picture of her, which was drawn at full length in white in 1589, when fhe was thirteen years and a half old, it appears that the was, at that time, very beautiful in her perfon. Her complexion was fair as alabafter: fhe had fweet large grey eyes, and long flaxen hair, flowing almost to her waift, and finely curled at top. Mr. Oldys fays, that fhe was born in 1575." Yours, &c. Mr. URBAN, AND. KIPPIS. 08. 11. GREATLY admire the prefent refpectable Bishop of Durham's Speech to his Chapter, which you have given p. 695. it befpeaks the elegant fcho lar, the polite nobleman, and, what is above all, the ferious Chriftian prelate. in Friendly as 1 am to our prefent ex Poetarum,' has introduced her among his modern poeteffes. Though no works of this Jady have appeared, which can ferve to fhew on what foundation her literary reputation is built, yet it is not probable that Mr. Evelyn and Mr. Philips fhould, without caufe, have few, but very fine. Wafps, which have been numerous, after making depredations upon the wall fruit, attacked the apples.-22. Buty fowing wheat and taking up the winter poHarvest finished. Springs low.
