Gentleman's Magazine 1851 part 1 p.17
picture drawn by him of his friend, Alexander Knox, in the Introduction, is particularly attractive. The Rev. T. C. Robertson, in his Tract, How shall we Conform to the Liturgy? p.69. justly says, "The late respected Bishop Jebb, whom, notwithstanding certain connexions, and his share in certain speculations, no one would consider a puritan or latitudinarian." P.332. "If you have never read Roger North's Lives of Lord Keeper Guilford and his other two brothers, let me recommend them to you," &c.These two volumes of biography are so quaint and amusing in their manner, and so full of anecdote, observation, and instruction, that they are not surpassed in this branch of our literature. Mr. Welsby, in his excellent volume, Lives of Eminent Judges, p.57, says, "That most amusing and therefore best of all biographies that we have any knowledge of - the Life of Lord Guilford." On Lord Guilford see Campbells' Lives of the Chancellors, vol.iii. p.429; on North's Examen, praised by Southey, see Retrosp. Rev. vol.vii. p.183-217. See also Coleridge's Literary Remains, i. p.237. Roger North's Mem. of Music has been lately published from MS. and our learned friend Mr. Crossley of Manchester, possesses the original MS. of the Life of Lord Guilford, in its authentic and enlarged state, among his other curious treasures of literature, which he well understands and enjoys. |
