L'Envoy. “ DUM RELEGO, SCRIPSISSE PUDET, QUIA PLURIMA CERNO, ME QUOQUE, QUI FECI, JUDICE, DIGNA LINI." COURTEOUS READER! No man living can quote those lines with a fuller sense of their reality than myself I — Though I have lived amongst men sharp as Mechi's razors, or a January frost, or the spikes of English bayonets, yet cognizant as I am with every day life, and practical in my habits and my ways, I am a “ Clerke of Oxenforde” withal, and a scholar,—such as the puny scholars of these days are ! And, therefore, I lament to find that many errors in these volumes have escaped my notice, even after close and hard labour, and thick thinking too ! But, when I state this, I think it right to add, that no research, no looking into libraries, no correspondence with learned men, no labour on my own part, has been spared. Every sheet has taken up more hours in a day than are easily found,—and the making good a single reference has often made night and morning closer acquaintances than is good either for sight or health! Therefore, COURTEOUS Reader, look gently upon confessed errors, and, of thy candour, LEARNED CRITIC, correct them for me, and thou shalt have thanks the truest, the most unreserved! Ye will not have half the pleasure in correcting, I shall have in learning! One word more, at parting, on the excellently learned Collector of these Volumes. William Chamberlayne, in the Epistle Dedicatory to his Pharonnida, speaks, in his own quaint language, of “eternizing a name, more from the lasting lipiaments of learning, than those vain Phainomena of Pleasure, which are the delight of more vulgar spirits ;” and such was the continued onsight of SouthEY. He held his learning as a gift, and as a talent to be accounted for, and he laboured for the benefit of others,—their moral and religious benefit,-as long as the day lasted, and before the night came in which it was no longer appointed that he should labour. And be it ever recollected, that although he wrote for his daily bread, and it never failed him, (which was a reward of his faith and truthfulness), yet did he never write a single word or line populo ut placerent fabulæ ! It is the learned Barrow, in his Sermon Of Industry in our Particular Calling as Scholars, that has these words :-“ Dignum laude virum Musa vetat mori; learning consecrateth itself and its subject together to immortal remembrance. It is a calling that fitteth a man for all conditions and fortunes ; so that he can enjoy prosperity with moderation, and sustain adversity with comfort; he that loveth a Book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, so in all fortunes.” Thus did the lamented Souther, rooted and grounded in the Faith! And with these words, Gentle AND COURTEOUS READER, I commend to thee the several Series of his Common Place Books “ He that affecteth God in chief, And as himself his neighbour; Although he live by lubour!"-G.
