how carefully to feed them with food

religious offices will be better perform-

3. A Comment upon Part of the Fifth Journey
of Antoninus through Britain; in whics
the Situation of Duree brim, the Seventh
Station there mentioned, is difcuffed; and
Cilor, in Northamptonthe, is sewn,
from the various Remains of Roman Antique
to have an undoubted Claim to that Situation.
To which is added, a Differtation on an
Image of Jus iter found there. By the Rev.
Kennel Gibson, late Guate of Caftur.
Printed from the Original MS.; and enlarged
with the Parochial History of Cattor and its
Dependencies to the prefent Time. To which
is fubjoined, an elecount of Marham, and fe-
eral other Places in its Neighbourhood.
THE work here prefented to the
publick is the whole which could be
found among the papers of the Rev.
Mr. Gibfon, who offered propofals for

printing it by fubfcription in 1769 Death intercepted his defign; and his MSS. after paffing through various hands, upon the fale of his effects, were, when the fearch after them was given up as fruit efs, found, 1795, in thofe of the Rev. D. Bayley, fellow of St. John's college, Cambridge, of whom they were purchased by Mr. Nichols, the prefent editor.

The Rev. Kennett Gibfon, clerk, B.A. formerly of Chrift's college, Cambridge, was rector of Marholm, and curate of Caftor many years; and, it may be prefumed, his refidence ou fuch a spot gave him opportunities which he did not fail to improve. The refult of his enquiries fecnis therefore an incontrovertible eftablishment of the Roman flation DUROCOBRIVA at Caftor, in a neighbourhood to fertile in Roman remains. If reads and camps, coins and pavements, on every fide of Caftor, do not prove its Romanity and its eminence in the time of that great people, what farther evidence is required?

Thefe evidences, however, do not feem fufficient to entitle it to a place in any aatient Itinerary. In a very learned illuftration of that part of Antoninus's Iter which relates to Britain, which after long expectation has juft made its appearance, the name of DuROBRIVIS is transferred to Weft or Old Lynn, in a very different direction from that which has hitherto been given to the fifth Iter of Antoninus, and in a courfe lefs direct than is commonly aligned to the great Roman ways. If, however, the claims of towns to Roman flations are to be determined on fuch light evidence as a few coins, or a few inconfiderable banks, the claims of Caftor, Chefterton, and Alwalton, must be incontrovertible. To put it out of doubt, we might produce a MILLIARY, other Roman coins, &c. now, if we are not misinformed, at Trinity college, Cambridge, found in this very tract; and though it does not, like that at Leicefier, exhibit a dance, M. P. L. In p. 76, Mr. name, like that it perhaps determines a Reynolds admits, that the Erminetreet is very yifible before Stilton; and that Caftor is an old Roman Station upon the river Nen, where this road again divides. So that, "if the new fituations affigned in this prefent work to Duraliponte, Durabrivis, and Caufennis, are admitted, a branch from this road muti have left it at Huntingdon,

and, paffing through Ramfey and the
Fens to Weft Lynn, returned into the
Eaftern line of it by the Wafhes and
Bofton at Sleaford."

But, leaving the difcuffion of thefe matters to other investigators, we proceed to give an account of the additions to Mr. Gibfon's work.

As it is plain from what he fays, p. 19, note, that he intended to purThe the hiftory of Caftor during the Saxon times at leaft, and perhaps as much later as he had opportunities of doing, his editor has to the best of his ability attempted to fupply the deficiencies, not only for the town, but its ap pendages; and, Milton being one of them, he could not pafs it over without due attention to the noble family

whofe refidence it has been for three

complete centuries, and whom he has followed to their filent manfions in the adjoining church of Marholine, of which Mr. Gibfon was rector.

A curious portrait of an unknown artiti prefenting itfelf in Milton house, permiffion was obtained from the noble proprietor to have it engraved, in hope that it may be afcertained and added to the Catalogue of British Artifts of the Elizabethan age. With a view to illuftrate the manners of that period, extracts are added from a Houfehold booking due tribute of praife. The first of the fame family from 1605 to 1612; and from the old manfion of the Dove family is produced a stone dial, which, if it does not compare with that erected at Whitehall by Edmund Gunter, is at leaft a curious monument of feience for

its time.

"The reader, judging from what is here brought forward as the refult of a temporary vifit at a friend's houfe, will conclude how much remains to be done for the county of Northampton in addition to Mr. Brydges's labour, and for that of Huntingdon, of which Mr. Hutchinfon has fo long promited an account, whenever the circumftances of the times fhall permit perfons of equal property and tatte to afford their tronage."

ODE FOR THE NEW YEAR, 1802.
By HENRY-JAMES PYE, Efq. P. L.
O, from Bellona's crimson car,

At length the panting fteeds un

bound;

At length the thunder of the war

In feftive fhouts of Peace is drown'd.
Yet, as around her Monarch's brow
Britannia twines the olive bough,
Bold as her eagle eye is catt
On hours of recent tempest past,
Thro' the rude wave and adverfe vale
When free she spread her daring tail,
Immortal Glory's radiant form,

Her guiding Load-ftar thro' the ftorm;
Directed by whofe golden ray, [way-
Thro' rocks and thoals the kept her steady
"My fons," the cries, "can Honour's

guerdon claim, [Sovereign fame?" Unfoil'd my parent worth, unitain'd their Albion, tho' oft by dread alarms

Thy native valour has been tried, Ne'er did the laftre of thy arms

Shine forth with more refulgent pride Than when, while Europe's fons, difmay'd,

Shrunk recreant from thy mighty aid,
Alone, unfriended, firm yeu flood,
A barrier 'gainft the foaming flood!
Wheh mild and foft the filken breeze
Blows gently o'er the ripling (eas,
The pinnace then may lightly fweep
With painted oar the halcyon deep;
But, when the howling whirlwinds rife,
When mountain billows threat the skies,
With ribs of oak the bark muft brave
The inroad of the furious wave;
The hardy crew muft to the raging wind
ppofe the finewy arm, the unconquerable
mind.

In ev'ry clime where Ocean roars,.

High tha' thy naval bauners flew,
From where, by Hyperborean fhores,

The frozen gale ungenial blow,
To fultry lanes, that Indian furges lave,
Atlantic ifles, and fam'd Canopa's wave;
Tho' from infulted Egypt's coast
Thy armies twept the victor host;
From veteran bands, where British va

lour won

Their antient rights and laws reftor'd,
The Royal Patriot fheaths the avenging

By Heav'n-born Concord led; while Plenty

And sheds her bounties wide, to bless the

THE NEW YEAR. AN ODE.
Purpurea velatus vefte fidebat
In folid Phoebus claris lucente fmarag.lis.
A dextra læváque, dies, & menfis & annurą
Seculaque, & pofitæ fpatiis equalibus bor.

Ovid.
IME, always on the fwift career,

TIM

Hath flung behind another year,
And ufher'd in the New:
What 's past no more-and what's to come
Lies in Eternity's dark womb,

'Tis doubtful who may view!
Back on past time we look-replete
With pain, with pleasure, or regret,

As we the fame have spent ;
Then forward gaze, with longing foul,
While hope aims at fome fav'rite goal,

Where all our thoughts are bent.
Fondly the man of pleasure dreams
(Who glides down diffipation's ftreams)
To reap more pleasing joy;
On difappointment's waves long caft,
Tir'd with old courses, owns at last,
That fenfual pleasures cloy.

The wretch who doats on treáfur❜d ore,
Bids ev'ry year increase his ftore.

Th' ambitious man will fay,
This year will make each with completes
My foes, like vaffals at my feet,

Shall bend, and own my fway.
Thus we divide, 'twixt hope and fear,
Alternately the coming year;

Comparison our guide;
And eager pry in Fate's dark womb,
T'anticipate our future doom,

And learn what Heav'n deny'd.
Why does this paffion ftrongly move?
Whence of futurity this love?

Whence fprings the powerful thought?
Some unexpected chance, our dreams
Of temp'ral blifs, and high-built fchemes,-
May even turn to neught.

Wifer, and better than to-day,

A ftill to have a friend;

The lofty walls of Ammon's godlike fon! May ev'ry New-year me survey
Wiclefs the danger and the toil
To free each felf-devoted foil,
Auxiliar legions from thy fide [pride;
Recede, to fwalt the Gallic Conqueror's
While on Marengo's fatal plain,
Faithful to Honour's tie, brave Austria
bleeds in vain!

Not, fired by fierce Ambition's flame,
Did Albion's Monarch urge his car
Impetuous thro' the bleeding ranks
of war,

To fuccour and protect his noble aim: His guardian arm, while each Helperian vale,

While Lufitania's ♥.nc-clad n.ountains hail,

Till Heaven's mandate calls me hence,
Where change no more can give offence,
Nor years can ever end !
