But lit tle regard furely is due to his opinion of poetry, whole language is barbarous, and whose ideas are confufed. The fable, he fays, is-fo far domeftic as to be clofely interefting and confequently be the fubjects of a domertic fable. By the following quotations, it will appear that the knowledge of grammar is not always attained by those who profess criticifm in other fciences. Whether we confider the characters of Elfrida in any of the foregoing lights, we shall find them unexceptionably excellent.". The profpect darkens after his baving bad a clear and fair one, and had reason to think, &c. Athelwold's inward compunction and generous remorfe cannot be too much admir'd, as likewife his alarm and confufion." -But this write, tho he does not excel in grammar, is remarkably bold in his metaphors; for he has affirmed of naked and bare fentences, that if they are fripped they become as unpoetical as fcraps that are to be met with up and down Diogenes Laertius Among other beauties, he has pointed out an expreffion which he calls a Grecifm • A man that thinks such thoughts ;'—a beauty of which he has himself attempted a dif-tant imitation, by introducing feveral Gallicifms into his remarks, and particularly by uling trait for ftroke. 52. Critical, hiftorical, and explanatory notes upon Hudibras, by way of fupplement to the two editions of 1744, 1745% By Zachary Grey, LL. D. To which is prefixed a differtation upon burlefque poetry; by the late learned and ingenious Montague Bacon, Efq; . Noris -Among these notes is the following: [Hudibras's epistle to Sidrophel, V. 40.'] Can no transfufion of the blood, That makes fools cattle, do you good? We fhould read, I think, either that makes fools tattle (as he uses the word Part ii. Canto i. 677.) or fowls cackle. -But in this, as in many other places, the author's fenfe is greatly mistaken.-It ap pears to have been a fashion at that time to transfufe the blood of animals into human bodies for the cure of difeafes, and the prolongation of life; a practice that is here rjdiculed, by fuppofing that it tends to make thofe cattle, who before were fools for suffering the blood of cattle to be transfufed into their own veins. Shadwell ridicules this prac tice in his Virtuofo, where Sir Nicholas Gimcrack relates fome experiments of this transfufion and their effects. But how a transfufion of blood can make fools tattle, of fowls cackle, is not fo eafy to conceive. SERMONS. 53. Party-teal cenfur'd; 'a fermon before Oxford university, Jan. 19, 1752. By Tho.
