Croke, Richard, (in Latin, Crocus,) d. 1558, a native of London, was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge. He was Greek Professor at Leipsic, at Louvain, and subsequently at Oxford. He was sent by Henry VIII. to influence the University of Padua to favour the divorce of the king. His letters to Henry may be seen in Burnet's Hist. of the Reformation.

John Wilson, D.C.L., 17801857, a native of the county of Galway, Ireland, but of English descent, was one of the most prominent literary characters of his day. He died at the house of Sir William Whiteman, at St. Alban's-bank, Hampton, near London. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, called to the Bar in 1807, and from that time to 1832 occupied a seat in the House of Commons. From 1809 to 30 he was Secre "I know of no such near and intimate picture of the interior of a court. No other Memoir that I have read brings us so im mediately, so actually into not merely the presence, but the company, of the personages of the royal circle. Lord Hervey is, I may venture to say, almost the Boswell of George II. and Queen Caroline."-Mr. Croker's Preface. The mention of Boswell naturally introduces a notice of the magnum opus of Mr. Croker-the production by which he is best known to the popular literary circleshis edit. of Boswell's Johnson. This work has been already noticed at length in our article upon Boswell. The reader will there see that Mr. Macaulay does not indulge in rapturous plaudits of Mr. Croker's valuable labours, and the latter has returned Mr. Macaulay's compliments in his review in the Quarterly of The History of England from the Accession of James II. An answer to Mr. Croker's charge of "partial selection" and "misrepresentation of facts" will be found in the "Edinburgh." It is not pleasant to dwell upon these family quarrels; for surely those who zealously labour for the intellectual advancement of the race may be properly said to constitute one family. With the exception of contributions to the Quarterly Review, Mr. Croker published nothing for many years. At the time of his death he was engaged in the preparation of an edition of the works of Alexander Pope, in connexion with Mr. Peter Cunningham, which was announced by Mr. Murray. Mr. Cunningham continues the editorship, (see p. 461, post.) Essays on the Early Period of the French Revolution, by the late Rt. Hon. John Wilson Croker; reprinted from the Quar. Rev., with Additions and Corrections, 1857, 8vo. He also edited Lady Hervey's Letters, Walpole's Letters to Lord Hertford, and was the author of several lyrical poems of merit. Croker, Capt. Richard. Travels through Several Provinces of Spain and Portugal, &c., Lon., 1799, 8vo. "An entertaining and, in some parts, instructive performance."Lon. Monthly Review, 1790. Croker, Thomas. Knavish Merchant, 1661, 4to. Croker, Thomas Crofton, d. 1854, aged 57, a potary to the Admiralty, and in 1828 was sworn of the Privy pular author, has done much to illustrate the Irish chaCouncil. His opposition to the Reform Bill, and his declaracter and the Antiquities of the country. Researches in ration that he would never sit in a Reformed House of Commons, has enabled him to devote more attention to literary pursuits. His first publication, Familiar Epistles to Frederick E. Jones, Esq., on the Irish Stage, Dubl., 1804, two edits. in the year, displayed that satirical power which is so conspicuous in his articles in the Quarterly Review-originated in 1809 by Scott, Canning, and Croker. In that valuable, if not altogether amiable, ingredient in reviewing, sarcasm, Mr. Croker is thought not to have been a whit behind the great Gifford himself. "John Wilson Croker more than approached the editor in sarcastic sallies and biting wit: he gave early proofs of such powers in his poem on the Irish stage: intimated talents active and argumentative in his speeches; and a poetic feeling and spirit approaching Scott in his Peninsular battles. To his pen, many articles full of political wormwood are attributed; and also some of the papers on America, which were not received in a tone of thankfulness by the men of the West."-ALLAN CUNNINGHAM: Biog, and Crit. Hist. of Lit. See Men of the Time, Lon., 1853. Mr. C.'s next publication was An Intercepted Letter from Canton. This is a satirical picture of the city of Dublin. To this succeeded Songs of Trafalgar; The Battle of Talavera; Sketch of Ireland, Past and Present; Letters on the Naval War with America; Stories from the History of England. This work (of which 30,000 to 40,000 copies have been sold) was the model of Sir Walter Scott's Tales of a Grandfather. "A good thought came in my head-to write stories for little Johnnie Lockhart, from the History of Scotland. like those taken from the History of England. But I will not write mine quite so simply as Croker has done. I am persuaded both children and the lower class of readers hate books which are written down to their capacity, and love those that are composed for their elders and betters." We wish that the authors of some modern juvenile books would ponder the above. Sir Walter presented a copy of the First Series to Mr. Croker, with the following note: "MY DEAR CROKER,-I have been stealing from you,and as it seems the fashion to compound felony, I send you a sample of the swag, by way of stopping your mouth.... Always yours, W. SCOTT." Mr. Croker has also aided educators and their pupils by his excellent Progressive Geography for Children, which a high authority commends as "The best elementary book on the subject."-Lon. Quart. Rev. We continue the enumeration of Mr. Croker's works: Reply to the Letters of Malachi Malagrowther; The Suffolk Papers; Military Events of the French Revolution of 1830; trans. of Bassompierre's Embassy to England; Hervey's Memoirs of the Court of George the Second, now first pub. from the Originals at Ickworth. the South of Ireland, Lon., 1824, 4to.

"Each is accompanied by its history from the competent pen of Crofton Croker, than whom no man knows more of the poetic superstitions and the manners and mythology of Ireland." "A volume of singular interest and curiosity. It is even more than this-it is a publication of real value, as illustrative of the past and present condition, both mental and moral, of the most singular people of the world. At the same time, it is, as a collec tion of vocal compositions, full of the graces and beauty of which that class of poetry is so eminently susceptible."-Lon. Naval and Military Gazette. Mr. Croker pub. in 1838, 2 vols. 8vo, the Memoirs of Joseph Holt, General of the Irish Rebels in 1798, edited from his original MSS. in the possession of Sir William Betham. "These Memoirs are wild, eccentric, and adventurous."—Lon. New Monthly Magazine. notes in themselves are copious and interesting) to our readers." "We heartily recommend the general and his editor (whose -Lon. Athenæum.

The work contains adventures of extraordinary and romantic character, and everybody will read it."-Lon. Literary Gazette.

Literary Gazette. 22. Beauties of the English Poets, 12mo. 23. The Modern Orlando; a Poem, 1846, 8vo; 2d ed., 1855. "One cannot but regret that Dr. Croly has not carried out his original purpose of prolonging the poem to a ramble in other cities and scenes of modern travel.

"We have risen from the perusal of the volumes before us, just as we have felt after losing ourselves in the absorbing interest of Shakspeare's finest tragedy. Every page is instinct with the energy of passion, or with some glowing picture of romantic grandeur-the tender, the affecting, and the pathetic-the ardent, the heroic, the devoted-all that can excite the highest and most dramatic of our feelings. There is, we will venture to predict, in Salathiel, the germ of perpetuity; it is not destined, like some other works of imagination, to be read and forgotten."-Lon. Gent. Magazine. "One of the most splendid productions among works of fiction that the age has brought forth."-Lon. Athenæum. "There are many natural scenes, and passages tender and elo quent, but somewhat cold and stately; it abounds in descriptions on which all the splendours of fancy and language are lavished..

"These volumes have a higher degree of interest than could possibly arise from merely tracing the personal career of George the Fourth. They are a history of his age; introducing us to all the great statesmen and wits of that period; abounding in rapid and masterly sketches of character, brilliant reflection, and pleasant episodes; and embodying all that information current in the best-informed circles of the day, which is necessary to be known if we would thoroughly understand the transactions of the period." -Britannia.

At the age of 20 practised drawing, with a determination to illustrate his own works, pub. Leaves from his Memorandum-Book,-a volume of comic prose and verse illustrated by himself, and various caricatures in the fashion of the day. In the same year he published Eccentric Tales, 1 vol. 8vo, illustrated by himself. In 1828 he was solicited by Mr. Colburn to join the celebrated clique of authors then engaged to produce the Humorist papers in his Magazine,-Theodore Hook, Benjamin Disraeli, and a host of others.

There was no want of variety in Croxall's literary pursuits. Cruden. Complete Family Bible, with Notes, Lon., 1770, 2 vols. fol. "An indifferently-executed commentary."-HORNE. This is not the publication of Alexander Cruden. Cruden, Alexander, 1701-1770, a native of Aberdeen, educated at Marischal College, designed entering the Church, but was prevented by symptoms of insanity. In 1732 he settled in London as a permanent residence, opened a bookstore, and became a corrector to the press. He styled himself Alexander the Corrector. In 1733 he commenced the preparation of his Concordance to the Holy Scriptures, and laboured with such industry in the intervals of business, that he was able to put it to press in 1737, 4to; 2d ed., 1761, 4to; 3d ed., with improvements, 1769, 4to; 6th ed., with Life, by Alex. Chalmers, 1812, 4to; 10th ed., 1824, r. 8vo. The editor of this last ed. hopes that his "extraordinary care will obtain for this edition the high recommendation of being THE MOST CORRECT EDITION OF CRUDEN'S CONCORDANCE EVER PUBLISHED." But alas! for the hope of faultless typography! The editor of the Phila. reprint of 1830 professes to have discovered (and corrected) in this immaculate edition, no less than TEN THOUSAND ERRORS in the references, which had escaped the eye of the London editor! Of Cruden's Concordance, there have been many abridgments, which profess to contain all that is valuable in the original, which makes us marvel at the stupidity of the author, who devoted so many days and nights to accumulate what we are now assured is entirely superfluous! Yet being old-fashioned in our ideas, we rather prefer having every line of this unnecessary matter. The late Rev. Thos. Scott, author of the Commentary, partially prepared a new Concordance to the Bible. See his Life by his son. Mr. Scott remarks that "The errors and deficiencies in Cruden are tenfold more than are generally suspected." But, on the other hand, Dr. Williams declares that "It is so complete as a Concordance that nothing remains materially deficient."-Christian Preacher. "It is not unlikely that Cruden, corrected and improved, will still retain his place in English literature."-ORME: Bibl. Bib. "Cruden's Concordance, or a similar work, is indispensable to ministers." "Cruden's Concordance should be in everybody's library. It is uncommonly complete, the definitions of leading words remarkably accurate, and the references exceedingly correct."-LowNDES. Cruden also wrote An Account of the History and Excellency of the Holy Scriptures, prefixed to a Compendium of the Holy Bible; A Scripture Dictionary; an Index to Bp. Newton's edit. of Milton; The History of Richard Potter, and sundry pieces under the names of The London Citizen and Alexander the Corrector. We notice with commendation Wm. Youngman's edit. of Cruden's Concordance, with a Compendium of the Bible, and a Brief Account of its History and Excellence, to which is added a Sketch of the Life of the Author. Cruden, John.
