Pinkerton, John, 1758-1826, a native of Edinburgh, was for six years a scholar at the Lanark Grammar-School, and subsequently served a five years' apprenticeship in the office of Mr. Aytoun, a writer to the Signet. He pub. in 1776 an Ode to Craigmillar Castle, and on the death of his father, in 1780, came to London and commenced author by profession. From 1802 to 1805 he resided in Paris, spent in that city, often in narrow circumstances, the principal part of his later years, and was there "gathered to his fathers." He was a man of considerable learning, more pedantry, great pretension, and little patience under opposition. His publications appeared as follows: 1. Rimes, Lon., 1781, 8vo; 2d ed., 1782, Svo.

"There is great poetic beauty and merit in them, with great knowledge of the ancient masters and of the best of the modern." -Horace Walpole to Pinkerton, Aug. 24, 1784.

2. Scottish Tragic Ballads, 1781, 8vo; 2d ed., with a second part, containing Ballads of the Comic Kind, the whole being included under the title of Select Scottish Ballads, 1783, 2 vols. 8vo. Several of these were the productions of Pinkerton's own pen: see his confession in his Ancient Scotish Poems, No. 7, post. See, also, Sir W. Scott's Introduc. Remarks on Popular English Poetry, prefixed to his Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border; Lon. Quar. Rev., xli. 133, (by Sir W. Scott;) Lon. Gent. Mag., Nov. 1784; Nichols's Lit. Illust., viii. 1858, 103– 108; Southey's Life and Corresp., chap. viii. 3. Tales in Verse, 1782, 4to. 4. Two Dithyrambic Odes on Enthusiasm and Laughter, 1782, 4to. 5.

Illust., viii. 1858, 99, 108-112; Lon. Athen., 1860, I. 516. The critical canons and orthographical innovations of these Letters, it will be seen, elicited vigorous protests.

"That monster Pinkerton proposed a revolution which would have left us nothing to spell."-DE QUINCEY: see Lon. Reader, 1861, i. 371, (Notes on some English Heterographers, by Henry B. Wheatley.)

The author himself subsequently characterizes it as "a book written in early youth, and contained many juvenile crude ideas long since abandoned by its author."- Walpoliana, 78.

The book, however, introduced Pinkerton to Horace Walpole, (see his Letters, ed. 1861,) Gibbon, and other men of letters and fashion. 6. An Essay on Medals, 1784, 8vo, anon.; 1789, 2 vols. 8vo; 3d ed., enlarged, &c., 1808, 2 vols. 8vo. The author was assisted by Mr. Douce and Mr. Southgate, both of the British Museum. The 3d ed. (edited by Mr. Harwood) was criticised by Barré Charles Roberts, (the article was repub. in his Letters, &c., 1814, r. 4to,) in Lon. Quar. Rev., i. 112.

"This work, though deformed by the dogmatism and self-conceit of the author, is one of the most useful publications on the subject of which it treats."-McCulloch's Lit. of Polit. Econ., 1845,

"My admiration of your essay on medals was natural. uninvited, and certainly unaffected."-Horace Walpole to Pinkerton, Sept. 27, 1784; Walpole's Letters, ed. 1861, viii, 501.

"Pinkerton, in two very unreadable quartos, which yet abound in information, takes up the thread where Hailes drops it."-SIR WALTER SCOTT: Lockhart's Life of Scott, ch. Iviii. See, also, Lon. Quar. Rev., xli. 358.

The author's imitation in this work of the style of his friend Gibbon is not thought peculiarly happy. See an Answer to an Attack made by John Pinkerton in his History of Scotland, &c., by Wm. Anderson, Edin., 1797, 8vo. 17. Walpoliana, Lon., (1799,) 2 vols. 12mo; 2d ed., (1804,) 2 vols. 12mo; 1819, 12mo. These reminiscences of the conversation of the Earl of Orford were originally pub. in the Monthly Magazine. To the collection Pinkerton prefixed a memoir of Walpole. 18. The Scottish Gallery; or, Portraits of Eminent Persons of Scotland, &c., with Brief Accounts of the Characters, Lon., 1799, r. 8vo. 19. Modern Geography, &c., digested on a New Plan, 1802, 2 vols. 4to; (Abridged, 1802, 8vo; 1806, 8vo. See, also, WILLIAMS, JOHN;) Phila., 1804, 2 vols. 8vo; 2d ed., enlarged, Lon., 1807, 3 vols. 4to; 1811, 3 vols. 4to; 1817, 2 vols. 4to. A valuable Catalogue of Maps, Charts, and Books of Travels and Voyages, in all languages, is appended to the work. This book is by no means free from errors, but on the whole it does the author great credit. Major Rennell called it "the best we have;" Southey, in early life one of the most careful of book-buyers, purchased it in 1804, (see his Life and Corresp., chap. x.;) and as late as 1819 an eminent authority characterizes it

as

"far superior, in accuracy and extent of information, to any hitherto published in the English language."-Blackw. Mag., Dec. 1819, 341.

"Mr. P. has presented us with a production, which we need not be ashamed to own as of British growth, which is not a nero bookseller's job, but is the fruit of the persevering study of a man of letters, and has been conducted on the principles and for the advancement of science."-Lon. Month. Rev.

On the other hand, the London Quarterly Review calls Pinkerton "a mere dabbler in geography," and many pages of the Edinburgh Review (Oct. 1803, 76-80, April, 1807, 154-171) are occupied with notices of errors in the 1st and 2d editions. The last-named periodical, however, (April, 1803, 67-76,) finds much to commend in Mr. Pinkerton's performance. We may here properly state that the last English ed. of Malte-Brun and Balbi's System of Universal Geography was pub. by H. G. Bohn, Lon., 1859, 8vo, pp. 1071, 158. It has an index of 13,500 names. (See PERCIVAL, JAMES GATES, M.D.) 20. Recollections of Paris in the Years 1802-03-04-05, 2 vols. 8vo, 1806.

"We have long known Mr. Pinkerton as a laborious polemical antiquary, and a diligent compiler of antiquarian history in a most absurd and detestable style. We expected something
