For now the measure of your woes is full !—
The great, the good Sciolto dies this moment.
Cal. My father!

Hor. Not long ago he privately went forth,
Attended but by few, and those unbidden.

I heard which way he took, and straight pursued him ;
But found him compass'd by Lothario's faction,
Almost alone, amidst a crowd of foes.

Too late we brought him aid, and drove them back;
Ere that his frantic valour had provoked

The death he seem'd to wish for from their swords.
[HOR. and ALT. lean on each other.
Cal. And dost thou bear me yet, thou patient earth?
Dost thou not labour with thy murderous weight?
And you, ye glittering, heavenly host of stars,
Hide your fair heads in clouds, or I shall blast you;
For I am all contagion, death, and ruin,

And nature sickens at me! Rest, thou world;
This parricide shall be thy plague no more:
Thus, thus, I set thee free.

[Stabs herself. Hor. [Runs to her.] O, fatal rashness!

Enter SCIOLTO, (L.) pale and bloody, supported by two Gentlemen, and followed by two others, with drawn Swords.

Cal. O, my heart!

Well may'st thou fail; for see, the spring that fed

Thy vital stream is wasted, and runs low.

My father! Will you now, at last, forgive me,
If, after all my crimes, and all your sufferings,

I call you once again by that dear name?

Will you forget my shame, and those wide wounds?
Lift up your hand, and bless me, ere I go
Down to my dark abode.

Sci. Alas, my daughter!

Thou hast rashly ventured in a stormy sea,

Where life, fame, virtue, all were wreck'd and lost.
But, sure, thou hast borne thy part in all the anguish,
And smarted with the pain. Then, rest in peace :
Let silence and oblivion hide thy name,

And save thee from the malice of posterity:

And may'st thou find with heaven the same forgive

ness,

As with thy father here.-Die, and be happy.

Cal. Celestial sounds! Peace dawns upon my soul, And every pain grows less. Oh, gentle Altamont,

Think not too hardly of me when I'm gone;
But pity me. Had I but early known

Thy wonderous worth thou excellent young man,
We had been happier both. Now, 'tis too late :
And yet my eyes take pleasure to behold thee;
Thou art their last dear object-Mercy, heaven!

[Dies.

BY WILLIAM GREATHEED LEWIS.

"I consider Grammar as absolutely necessary in the search after philosophical truth, and I think it not less necessary in the most important questions concerning religion and civil society." -Horne Tooke.

This Work, of which a large impression has been sold under very disadvantageous circumstances, has been honoured with the unqualified approbation of everal periodical publications, as well as with that of many eminent literary characters. Dr. Gilchrist, the learned Professor of Oriental Languages, pronounces

in his lectures, the best English Grammar extant, d strongly recommends it to the attention of students as an excellent introduction to the study of foreign languages. The author has carefully revised the present edition, and has also availed himself of some very valuable hints, suggested by writers, whose philological knowledge stands high in the opinion of the learned.
