I. HISTORY, as it becomes contemporaneous, increases in importance. It may suffice, in treating of remoter times, to have recorded the leading

[blocks in formation]

facts, and pourtrayed the more prominent characters; to have woven such a narrative only, as might serve to display and connect the grand progression of causes and effects; leaving minor facts and personages to the researches of the antiquary, the book-making of the biographer, or the picturesque taste of the historical romance writer. But when we descend to our own days, no such omissions can be tolerated. Events and individual characters, which, seen through the mist of distance, would have dwindled into insignificance, or faded into air, derive a powerful interest from approximation. Every thing is momentous by being present or recent; and, indeed, as we know not on what slight agencies important events depend, to omit what we deem a trifle were, perhaps, to remove a link from that great chain, which unites concord with hostility, restlessness with revolution, and one age with another.

In examining the last twenty years of George the Third, therefore, we propose to amplify our narrative; and lest too many facts, classed under the same title, should tire the patience of the reader, we shall here close our account of the eighteenth century, with a biographical notice of the leading authors in theology, the acts of Parliament not already mentioned, and a few other miscellaneous matters, appertaining to that period of the reign, which has already passed under review. These matters will occupy several chapters;
