Secunda.
"The production of an English clergyman, and bears unequivocal
marks of refined taste, elegant scholarship, and a
liberal, generous, and candid mind. The idea--to us a novel
one--carried out in this work is, to bring up for judgment
(as the Egyptians used to do with their departed kings) the
characters that figure most in the page of history, and to
pass sentence upon them. Summoning them, as it were, into his
presence with the lamp of history to guide him, _exquiritque
auditque dolos_; and whether it be praise or blame, or a
mixture of both, that he awards, the judgment is pronounced in
a temperate spirit, and with judicial impartiality; and it
is expressed in pure and elegant Latin, and often with
epigrammatic felicity."--_Scotsman_.
