The Artist's name, who is the author of this bust, has come before the public on many national occasions; and this month, last year, we had to record a work by him, (the bust of the Princess Charlotte,) rendered, in like inanner, deeply interesting by the death of the lamented original. We have now, with painful reference, to mention the home of Turnerelli, as the artist who has been honoured with sittings to complete the only bust (we believe) of her late Majesty. And what will render this production the more interesting, we are assured that in giving lessons to her Majesty, at Frogmore, at the time of the Jubilee in 1809, she actually wrought at part of it. The bust represents her as the Alma Mater, with a veil, which covers the back part of her head, and folds loosely over the shoulders. Round her neck are rows of beads, and an embroidered tippet, and in front suspended a medallion of His Majesty. We consider the likeness spirited and impressive, considering the period at which it was modelled. DECEMBER.

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. FLORENCE MACARTHY: an Irish Tale By Lady Morgan. London 1818 12mo. 4 vols. Novel writing has within these few years assumed a very different phasis from what it presented of old. The fearful romances of knight-errantry yielded to the longest of long love stories; these in turn succumbed to the portraiture of existing manners; these branched off into the low comic of vulgar life; these in a wonderful way were converted into tales of moral and religious instruction; these were succeeded by fabbles of philosophical inquiry; these gave way to the illustration of national character, the latest and most popular works of the kind: and now we have another variety, in a novel addressed principally to the assertion of political opinion, but combining also a portion of the ancient romantic style with the drawing of individual modern character, and the revenge of literary wrongs sustained by the writer. Through the equally efficacious means of praise and censure, of flattery and abuse, Lady Morgan has acquired a name and notoriety which must attach general curiosity and interest to all her productions. And from its being pretty generally understood that under the disguise of Florence Macarthy she was to take her "great revenge" upon her critics, these volumes were looked for with an additional anxiety by that numerous class of readers who delight in fiction much, but much more in real personal crimination. We do not profess to be sufficiently acquainted with the scene of action in Ireland to know if all the dramatis personæ are genuine personages; but as even at this distance we recognise several portraits (though unable to tell whether or not they are likenesses) it strikes us that the author is only ideal in her colouring, and that the features are intended for originals. The ground on which these portraits are painted, or, to drop our metaphor, the story in Florence Macarthy, is of a very romantic cast, and considerably involved. A clear-sighted novel reader will indeed soon discover the secret of the hero; but that of the heroine is more mysterious, and it is not till near the end that it is completely unfolded. VOL. II. We must add, however, that there is some improbability in it, which serves to increase the puzzle. In a vessel which arrives at Dublin are two persons previously unknown to each other: the one is Il Librador, a Guerilla warrior of great renown, from among the patriots of South America, and the other a young English gentleman calling himself De Vere, of a singularly eccentric temperament: the former is drawn upon the model of Buonaparte, the latter upon that of Lord Byron. Of course they become attached to each other, and The Liberator is the hero of the piece. They see a great deal of wretchedness among the lower orders in the suburbs of Dublin, on their way to the Inn. Here finding that their future destination lies as far as Buttevant in the same direction, they agree to travel together; and refuse to receive a female companion into their chaise, who offers to take a third of it on overhearing their conversation. This Lady's name is Magillicuddy; she has a red nose and green spectacles, and appears to be a sort of religious-tract distributor. On their route they frequently encounter this disagreeable person; and the journey is less remarkable for incident than for descriptions of the difficulties of the road, the behaviour of the innkeepers and their domestics, and the appearance and antiquities of the country. Arrived in the South of Ireland, Il Librador wishes to become the purchaser of a castle and estate, called Court Fitzadelm, which is for sale, and for this object visits the agent, Darby Crawley, an attorney, who with his whole family of brothers and sons have obtained wealth and promotion by their servility to the government, and oppression of the people. While this affair is pending, the Dowager Marchioness of Dunore, the lady of the manor, pays a visit, with a fashionable party, to Dunore Castle and her Irish estates, in order to canvass the borough of Glannacrime for her second son Lord Adelm Fitzadelm, his senior brother, the Marquis, being a lunatic ward in the custody of his mother. There is much visiting and bustle in consequence of this event, and Dunore Castle displays, among other strangers, Il Librador and a Lady Clancare, the last of the regal race of Macarthys, whom Lady Morgan designates as her own resemblance. She is a person of extraordinary genius, an authoress as well as a peeress in her own right, exceedingly beloved by the poor, and at once captivating and mysterious. The Crawleys plot her ruin, and the ruin of Il Librador, whom the old vulgar father Darby has some reason to dislike and dread, and whom the youngest son, Counsellor Conway Crawley, persecutes with restless malignity. All their designs, however, fail. Il Librador turns out to be the real Marquis of Dunore, Mr. De Vere to be his cousin Lord Adelm, and Mrs. Magillicuddy, alias Lady Clancare, to be Florence Macarthy, the betrothed wife of the South American Leader. By this revolution the Crawleys are reduced to shame and poverty, and the rightful heir of the Norman Fitzadelms, with his Lady, the representative of the Macarthys, are restored to the possessions of their respective ancestors. Among the characters introduced are an old schoolmaster, Mr. Terence Oge O'Leary, the foster-father of the heir; Mr. Daly, an ancient and unchanged Hibernian patriot; Lord Eversham, Aiddu-Camp to the Lord Lieutenant, a Dandy of some humour and intellect; Baron Boulter and Judge Aubrey, i. e. Lord Norbury, and Judge Fletcher; Lord Rosbrin, a nobleman madly addicted to private theatricals; Padreen Gar, a supposed leader of rebel marauders, and many others of less note. Without entering into a detailed opinion of this work, we may state that it is certainly equal to any of the authoress's preceding publications. Several of the conversations are rather dull, but in general they are amusing. There is a bitter indulgence in private and personal hostility, but this, if the pique be directed justly, has at least provocation to excuse it; and we miserable critics know what we have to expect when we wound the vanity or self-love of a female writer. Diana, a goddess, punished the poor wretch with death who merely saw her naked by chance; and what can we expect from an enraged woman, if we strip her naked and expose all her defects to the world? To be torn to pieces as Acteon was, though not by the same means! We should notice the far too frequent occurrence of French words and scraps of French; English books should be written in English. Lady Morgan seems to have an inveterate antipathy to Bible Societies, Religious Tract Associations, Methodists, and other sectaries; nor does she spare some hits at the Protestant Established Church in Ireland, which is one of the grievances arraigned by her actors. Indeed the woes of that poor country are the burthen of her song chiefly those of its misgovernment, but even its natural climate does not escape reprehension. It was one of those rich, red, autumnal evenings, which in Ireland make the sole, the short indemnification, for eleven months of rain and vapour,—p. 133, vol. 2. And after all, the evils which afflict Ireland seem as much to be owing, in Lady Morgan's estimation, to physical and moral causes, to the mode in which its rulers act; for she makes her aged and virtuous patriot, Mr. Daly, declare, that : The Irish peasantry are not only more indigent than they were forty years ago, but they have lost much of the gaiety and cheerfulness of spirit which set, sorrow at defiance. Their wakes and fairs, patterns, and Sunday evening cake, are almost wholly laid aside these, and the hurling matches, that noble, athletic, and national sport, are quite gone by and of the troops of pipers and harpers that used to perform daily in their villages, or resort to the houses of the gentry,, where welcome entertainment and ample remuneration awaited them, there scarce remain any of the order. We now transcribe one scena, as a specimen of the writer's humour. It is laid in Mr. Darby Crawley's house, at Mount Crawley, where, after describing the visitors, mostly family connections and dependent toad-eaters, the following conversation takes place. The Commissioner (a hrother) observing that no verbal announce of dinner followed the summons of the bell, turned to Mr. Crawley impatiently, and asked, What do we wait for?-Do you expect. any one to dinner, Darby?" Not a Christian," returned Mr. Craw ley. Thady, dear, give the bell a touch, and bid them dish." "You forget, brother Crawley," said his sister anxiously, "that. I told you, if you would have listened to me, or to any one but Jemmy Bryan, when you came home, that I had asked a gentleman to dinner, a very distinguished person, that called on you this morning, after you were gone to Glannacrime." .༔ Oh, very well, he'll be here while dinner's dishing, Pll engage.-Did he lave his name?" "I cannot tell you his name," said Miss Crawley, with a smile," because I really forgot to ask it. But what's in a name?" as Romeo says. This I however can tell you: he is not only the most distinguished, but the most poetical-looking person, as ear Lady Clotworthy would have said." "You know, Ann Clotworthy, I am established, which qualifies a man for every always rather a stiptie to your descriptions," place in the state, it may serve our turn as said Mr. Crawley, winking to the sub-well as our betters.

"When I spoke of the angelic properties of the Reverend Jeremiah Judd, I alluded to the inward man, and I was induced to day to believe, for a moment, that this gentleman had brought letters from him; but though he avowed that his mission into this country was of a serious nature-" "Here he is, to speak for himself; here driving up the approach, so I'll ring for at least is one of the Dunore hack chaises dinner," observed the commissioner. "Oh! a hack chaise," said his wife, superciliously, and letting fall her spyglass. "Is it a hack chaise ? asked Miss Crawley in a tone of mortification; but before any other observation could be made, the door was opened, and the stranger, unannounced, appeared. He was in full dress; and the air with which he entered the room, and walked to the place occupied by Miss Crawley, was marked by a certain disengaged freedom, beyond what is merely acquired in society-the ease of conscious, careless superiority. The arrival of El Librador and De Vere at an Inn is more characteristic and carriage, they ordered a chaise and horses As they descended, therefore, from their for Gaul Bally, to be ready against their return from the rock. slightly touching his hat, and resuming his "Certainly, Sir," said the landlord, conversation with a man-of-business-looking person, who was talking to him at the door.

I wish you had given the Devil his Jew (due), and left me my great coat; that's all, Miss Crawley." where's · That's nate!" cried the sub-sheriff, looking to the surveyor. Mighty nate!" echoed the surveyor, nodding his head, while Mr. Crawley, who had punned himself into good humour, as the man in the Guardian punned himself out of a fever, and who observed the rest of the party much amused at this attack upon the evangelical and dictatorial Miss Crawley, continued, in a milder tone, 66 sume a portion of tobacco, called out in Barney, having taken due time to conhis turn to a driver near him, "Tim, honey, just call out a chay to Gaul-Bally.' Tim, who was seated on the steps of a horsepost, playing with a large dog, addressed himself to a blind beggar, with Step into the yard, and tell Corney Doolin a chay's wanting to Gaul Bally." "What is the distance to Gaul-Bally? asked Il Librador, who, as well as his fellow traveller, had observed the progress of these deputed orders with impatience and irritation. "What is the distance to Ganl' Bally? returned the landlord with sang-froid, as it he now first observed them, " upon my word and reputation, Sir, I can't say that is really,-Gaul Bally.
