+
+ <h3>PREFACE.</h3>
+
+ <p>The completion of the Twentieth Volume of this Miscellany
+ presents us with another cause for self-gratulation, and
+ thankful acknowledgement to the reading public. This continued
+ and unimpaired success amidst a myriad of new-born aspirants,
+ is the best proof of our maintenance of public esteem; and so
+ long as our efforts are guided by the same singleness of
+ purpose that first directed them we shall hope for a
+ continuance of such favour. A multitude of contemporaries "whet
+ each other;" "thinking nurseth thinking;" and, in like manner,
+ reading nurseth reading, and awakens a spirit of inquiry,
+ untiring and exhaustless, among all concerned in pursuit and
+ wholesome gratification.</p>
+
+ <p>In a retrospect of the hundreds of competitors who have
+ started for the prize of public patronage since our outset, we
+ shall not, perhaps, be accused of vanity in placing to our own
+ account the first appropriation of such means as may have
+ contributed to the partial success of our contemporaries. We
+ owe them nothing but good will; for we rather regard things
+ poetically than politically, and we are anxious to inform and
+ amuse the reader&mdash;not to perplex, by constantly reminding
+ him of his uncheery lot in life.</p>
+
+ <p>Ten years' establishment in periodical literature may give
+ us a sort of patriarchal feeling towards others; for, with one
+ exception THE MIRROR is the oldest weekly journal of the
+ metropolis. In this comparatively long career, our best
+ energies have been directed to the progressive improvement of
+ each department of the work. The plan of embellishment, which
+ may be said to have originated with THE MIRROR, has been
+ extended and improved, until few subjects are incapable of
+ successful illustration in its pages; due regard being paid to
+ nicety of execution, as well as attractive design. So much for
+ the present, state of our "representative system."</p>
+
+ <p>The selection of materials for each sheet of THE MIRROR has
+ been regulated by a desire to extend useful information, and to
+ cultivate healthful indications of public taste. In a journal,
+ like the present, mainly devoted to the accumulation of facts,
+ errors and misstatements are inevitable; but, our own
+ diligence, aided by sharp-sighted Correspondents, has, from
+ time to time, guided us to accuracy in most cases, and directed
+ fruitful inquiry upon matters of no ordinary interest or
+ character. Scientific information, really made popular, and of
+ ready, practical utility, has uniformly found admission in our
+ pages; and, above all, subjects of natural history have
+ received especial attention, in graphic
+ illustrations&mdash;which part of our plan has been adopted by
+ every cheap journal of the last four years; or, from the first
+ pictorial description of the Zoological Gardens, before the
+ publication of the catalogue by the Society; while it is a
+ source of gratification to know that within the above period,
+ natural history, from being almost confined to public museums
+ and private cabinets, has become the most popular study and
+ amusement of the present day.</p>
+
+ <p>Upon the continued cheapness of our little work, we do not
+ intend to touch, more than by reference to the enlargement of
+ the letter-press as commenced with the present volume. The
+ alteration has, we believe, received general approbation; and,
+ either with regard to the extent of the letter-press,
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="pageiv"
+ id="pageiv"></a>[pg iv]</span> or the condensed character of
+ its subject-matter, we have still the satisfaction of
+ knowing THE MIRROR to continue, as it has often been
+ characterized by contemporaries, "the cheapest publication
+ of the day." Its other merits we are content to leave to the
+ discernment of each reader.</p>
+
+ <p>Our future volume will be conducted upon the plan of its
+ predecessors, with such improvements as time and occasion may
+ suggest. To one point, economy of space, we promise our best
+ consideration; though we may not succeed in rivalling Mr.
+ Newberry, who, the good humoured Geoffrey Crayon tells us, was
+ the first that ever filled his mind with the idea of a good and
+ great man. He published all the picture books of his day; and,
+ out of his abundant love for children, he charged "nothing for
+ either paper or print, and only a half-penny for the
+ binding."<a id="footnotetag1"
+ name="footnotetag1"></a><a href="#footnote1"><sup>1</sup></a>
+ Rest unto his soul, say we.</p>
+
+ <p>This lengthened, but we hope not ill-timed reference to our
+ whole course of Twenty Volumes has left us but little occasion
+ to speak of the present portion, individually; although we
+ trust this reference would be somewhat supererogatory, from the
+ unusual number of Illustrations, and a copious Index to the
+ main subjects, of the volume.</p>
+
+ <p>To conclude. We thank all Correspondents for their
+ contributions, and invite their cordial co-operation with our
+ ensuing efforts. So now "<i>plaudite! valete!</i>"</p>

+ <h3>NOTICES</h3>
+
+ <h4>OF</h4>
+
+ <h2>WASHINGTON IRVING, ESQ.</h2>
+
+ <h3>AND HIS WORKS.</h3>
+ <hr class="short" />
+
+ <p>Washington Irving was born, in the State of New York, in the
+ year 1782, and is, consequently, in his fifty-first year. His
+ early life cannot better be told than in his own graceful
+ language, prefixed to the most celebrated of his writings as
+ "the author's account of himself."</p>
+
+ <p>"I was always fond of visiting new scenes, and observing
+ strange characters and manners. Even when a mere child I began
+ my travels, and made many tours of discovery into foreign parts
+ and unknown regions of my native city, to the frequent alarm of
+ my parents, and the emolument of the town-crier. As I grew into
+ boyhood I extended the range of my observations. My holiday
+ afternoons were spent in rambles about the surrounding country.
+ I made myself familiar with all its places famous in history or
+ fable. I knew every spot where a murder or robbery had been
+ committed, or a ghost seen. I visited the neighbouring
+ villages, and added greatly to my stock of knowledge, by noting
+ their habits and customs, and conversing with their sages and
+ great men. I even journeyed one long summer's day to the summit
+ of the most distant hill, from whence I stretched my eye over
+ many a mile of terra incognita, and was astonished to find how
+ vast a globe I inhabited.</p>
+
+ <p>"This rambling propensity strengthened with my years. Books
+ of voyages and travels became my passion, and in devouring
+ their contents, I neglected the regular exercises of the
+ school. How wistfully would I wander about the pier heads in
+ fine weather, and watch the parting ships bound to distant
+ climes; with what longing eyes would I gaze after their
+ lessening sails; and waft myself in imagination to the ends of
+ the earth.</p>
+
+ <p>"Farther reading and thinking, though they brought this
+ vague inclination into more reasonable bounds, only served to
+ make it more decided. I visited various parts of my own
+ country; and had I been merely influenced by a love of fine
+ scenery, I should have felt little desire to seek elsewhere its
+ gratification; for on no country have the charms of nature been
+ more prodigally lavished. Her mighty lakes, like oceans of
+ liquid silver; her mountains, with their bright aërial tints;
+ her valleys, teeming with wild fertility; her tremendous
+ cataracts, thundering in their solitudes; her boundless plains,
+ waving with spontaneous verdure; her broad, deep rivers,
+ rolling in solemn silence to the ocean; her trackless forests,
+ where vegetation puts forth all its magnificence; her skies,
+ kindling with the magic of summer clouds and glorious
+ sunshine:&mdash;no, never need an American look beyond his own
+ country for the sublime and beautiful of natural
+ scenery."<a id="footnotetag2"
+ name="footnotetag2"></a><a href="#footnote2"><sup>2</sup></a></p>
+
+ <p>Mr. Irving began his career, as an author, in periodical
+ literature. His first work was a humorous journal, entitled
+ "Salmagundi, or the Whim-Whams and Opinions of Launcelot
+ Langstaff, Esq. and Others," originally published in numbers in
+ New York, where it met with a very flattering reception. The
+ date of the first paper is Saturday, January 24, 1827.</p>
+
+ <p>Salmagundi has been several times reprinted in this country;
+ and it may be acceptable to know, that the cheapest, if not the
+ most elegant, edition may be purchased for twenty-pence. It
+ would be difficult to explain the merits of Salmagundi to the
+ reader, as they are of the most varied character; but, it may
+ be remarked generally, that a vein of quaint humour and human
+ kindness pervades these early papers, which will bring the
+ reader and writer to the best possible
+ terms.</p><span class="pagenum"><a name="pagevi"
+ id="pagevi"></a>[pg vi]</span>
+
+ <p>This lively miscellany was followed by a humorous History of
+ New York, with the somewhat droll <i>nom</i> of Dedrick
+ Knickerbocker as its author. It possesses considerable merit,
+ with a nice perception of the ludicrous; but, on its first
+ appearance, this recommendation was generally overlooked,
+ whether from the local interest of the subject, or the want of
+ due judgment in its readers, it is difficult to determine.</p>
+
+ <p>About this period Mr. Irvine's name was heard in England,
+ almost for the first time; his only claims to public notice
+ resting entirely on Salmagundi, and the History of New York. He
+ was indebted for his introduction to the acquaintance of
+ European readers, to a young fellow-countryman of high
+ attainments, who alludes to the above works and their author in
+ the following terms:&mdash;"Mr. Irving has shown much talent
+ and great humour in his Salmagundi and Knickerbocker, and they
+ are exceedingly pleasant books, especially to one who
+ understands the local allusions."</p>
+
+ <p>A few years subsequent to the publication of Knickerbocker,
+ Mr. Irving visited England, or the "land of wonders," as he
+ facetely terms our favoured isle. During his stay, he wrote a
+ series of papers, illustrative of English manners, which were
+ chiefly printed in America. These papers were afterwards
+ published in a collected form, in England, under the title of
+ "The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent." and dedicated to
+ Sir Walter Scott, "in testimony of the admiration and affection
+ of the author." In the advertisement to the Sketch-Book, Mr.
+ Irving thus modestly refers to its origin:</p>
+
+ <p>"The author is aware of the austerity with which the
+ writings of his countrymen have hitherto been treated by
+ British critics: he is conscious too, that much of the contents
+ of his papers can be interesting only in the eyes of American
+ readers. It was not his intention, therefore, to have them
+ reprinted in this country. He has, however, observed several of
+ them from time to time inserted in periodical works of merit,
+ and has understood that it was probable they would be
+ republished in a collective form. He has been induced,
+ therefore, to revise and bring them forward himself, that they
+ may at least come correctly before the public. Should they be
+ deemed of sufficient importance to attract the attention of
+ critics, he solicits for them that courtesy and candour which a
+ stranger has some right to claim, who presents himself at the
+ threshold of a hospitable nation."</p>
+
+ <p>Mr. Irving's solicitations were not made in vain, as the
+ rapid sale of several editions must have convinced him; while
+ every journalist in the empire hailed the work as the most
+ beautiful specimen of Transatlantic talent which had been
+ recognised in this country.</p>
+
+ <p>The two volumes of the Sketch-Book appeared at different
+ periods; and, at the conclusion of the second, we find the
+ following apologetic postscript: "The author is conscious of
+ the numerous faults and imperfections of his work; and, well
+ aware how little he is disciplined and accomplished in the arts
+ of authorship. His deficiencies are also increased by a
+ diffidence arising from his peculiar situation. He finds
+ himself writing in a strange land, and appearing before a
+ public, which he has been accustomed, from childhood, to regard
+ with the highest feelings of awe and reverence. He is full of
+ solicitude to secure their approbation, yet finds that very
+ solicitude continually embarrassing his powers, and depriving
+ him of that ease and confidence which are necessary to
+ successful exertion. Still the kindness with which he is
+ treated encourages him to go on, hoping that, in time, he may
+ acquire a steadier footing; and thus he proceeds, half
+ venturing, half shrinking, surprised at his own good fortune,
+ and wondering at his own temerity."</p>
+
+ <p>The success of the Sketch-Book was followed by the almost
+ equal fortune of "Bracebridge Hall, or the Humorists;" a series
+ of scenes of Old English life, as displayed in one of those
+ venerable halls, that rise, here and there, in a British
+ landscape, as monuments of the hospitality of our ancestors,
+ and better times. In the autobiographical chapter of this work,
+ the writer thus pleasantly refers to his previous success, as
+ "a matter of marvel, that a man, from the wilds of America,
+ should express himself in tolerable English. I was looked upon
+ as something <span class="pagenum"><a name="pagevii"
+ id="pagevii"></a>[pg vii]</span> new and strange in
+ literature,&mdash;a kind of demi-savage, with a leather in
+ his hand, instead of his head; and there was a curiosity to
+ hear what such a being had to say about civilized society."
+ In referring the circumstances under which he writes his
+ second work on English manners, he says: "Having been born
+ and brought up in a new country, yet educated from infancy
+ in the literature of an old one, my mind was filled with
+ historical and poetical associations, connected with places,
+ and manners, and customs of Europe; but which could rarely
+ be applied to those of my own country. To a mind thus
+ peculiarly prepared, the most ordinary objects and scenes,
+ on arriving in Europe, are full of strange matter, and
+ interesting novelty. England is as classic ground to an
+ American, as Italy is to an Englishman; and Old London teems
+ with as much historical association as mighty Rome." There
+ is, also, great amiability in the concluding
+ paragraph:&mdash;"I have always had an opinion, that much
+ good might be done by keeping mankind in good humour with
+ one another. I may be wrong in my philosophy; but I shall
+ continue to practise it until convinced of its fallacy. When
+ I discover the world to be all that it has been represented
+ by sneering cynics and whining poets, I will turn to and
+ abuse it also; in the meanwhile, worthy reader, I hope you
+ will not think lightly of me, because I cannot believe this
+ to be so very bad a world as it is represented."</p>
+
+ <p>Soon after the publication of Bracebridge Hall, Mr. Irving
+ left this country, where he had passed two years with literary
+ and pecuniary advantage. He quitted England with a pathetic
+ farewell; declaring that if, as he is accused, he views it with
+ a partial eye, he shall never forget that it is his
+ "fatherland." On the consanguinity of England and America too,
+ and the cultivation of good feeling between them, he thus
+ touchingly expresses himself in Bracebridge Hall: "We ask
+ nothing from abroad that we cannot reciprocate. But with
+ respect to England, we have a warm feeling of the heart, the
+ glow of consanguinity that still lingers in our blood. Interest
+ apart, past differences forgotten, we extend the hand of old
+ relationship. We merely ask, do not estrange us from you, do
+ not destroy the ancient tie of blood, do not let scoffers and
+ slanderers drive a kindred nation from your side. We would fain
+ be friends, do not compel us to be enemies." There is a manly
+ affection in these sentiments which is truly admirable.</p>
+
+ <p>Mr. Irving's works, with the exception of his early
+ efforts,<a id="footnotetag3"
+ name="footnotetag3"></a><a href="#footnote3"><sup>3</sup></a>
+ had been the result of his love of travel: indeed, he
+ describes himself as a traveller who has "surveyed most of
+ the terrestrial angles of the globe." In similar vein, he
+ next produced two volumes of "Tales of a Traveller,"
+ narrating legends of the continent, with masterly sketches
+ of the scenery of the respective countries; the incidents of
+ the Tales being fraught with points of grotesque humour, and
+ abounding with pathos and poetic feeling.</p>
+
+ <p>To these Tales succeeded a work of greater importance in
+ literature than either of Mr. Irving's previous undertakings.
+ We allude to a History of the Life and Voyages of Columbus, in
+ four vols. 8vo., which appeared in the year 1828. Mr. Irving,
+ at the time this work was first suggested to him, in the winter
+ of 1825-6, was at Bordeaux; and, being informed that a
+ biography was about to appear at Madrid, containing many
+ important and some new documents relative to Columbus, he set
+ off for the Spanish capital, to undertake the translation of
+ the work. Mr. Irving, however, meeting with numerous aids at
+ Madrid, resolved on producing an original history, which he has
+ presented to the public with extreme diffidence: "all that I
+ can safely claim," he observes, "is, an earnest desire to state
+ the truth, an absence from prejudices respecting the nations
+ mentioned in my history, a strong interest in my subject, and a
+ zeal to make up by assiduity for many deficiencies of which I
+ am conscious." This work has been abridged by Mr. Irving to one
+ of the volumes of the Family Library. As we have intimated to
+ the reader, it is of higher pretensions than either of the
+ author's previous writings: a clever critic refers to it as "a
+ spirited and interesting work, in which every thing is as
+ judiciously reasoned as it is beautifully and
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="pageviii"
+ id="pageviii"></a>[pg viii]</span> forcibly expressed," and
+ as "much more grave in its character and laborious in its
+ execution than any of his preceding
+ ones."<a id="footnotetag4"
+ name="footnotetag4"></a><a href="#footnote4"><sup>4</sup></a></p>
+
+ <p>Mr. Irving's next production was "A Chronicle of the
+ Conquest of Granada," in which the author's knowledge of
+ Spanish history is made to shine in detailing the chivalrous
+ glories of the New World.</p>
+
+ <p>In the spring of the present year it appears that Mr. Irving
+ touched "the golden shores of old romance," and published Tales
+ of the Alhambra; the origin of which work is thus told by the
+ author. A few years since, Mr. Wilkie, the distinguished R.A.
+ and Mr. Irving were fellow travellers on the continent. In
+ their rambles about some of the old cities of Spain, they were
+ struck with scenes and incidents which reminded them of
+ passages in the Arabian Nights. Mr. Wilkie urged his companion
+ to write something that should illustrate those peculiarities,
+ "something in the Haroun Alraschid style" that should have a
+ dash of that Arabian spice which pervades everything in Spain.
+ Mr. Irving set about his task with enthusiasm: his study was
+ the spacious Alhambra itself, and the governor gave the author
+ and his companion, permission to occupy his vacant apartments
+ in the Moorish palace: Mr. Wilkie soon returned to England,
+ leaving Mr. Irving at the Alhambra, where he remained "for
+ several months, spell-bound in the old enchanted pile." The
+ result was two volumes of legends and traditions, which for
+ interesting incident, and gracefulness of narrative, have few
+ parallels in our romance-writing.<a id="footnotetag5"
+ name="footnotetag5"></a><a href="#footnote5"><sup>5</sup></a>
+ They are dedicated, in good taste, to the ingenious
+ originator, Mr. Wilkie.</p>
+
+ <p>In person, Mr. Irving is of middle height; and, according to
+ a contemporary, of "modest deportment and easy attitude, with
+ all the grace and dignity of an English
+ gentleman."<a id="footnotetag6"
+ name="footnotetag6"></a><a href="#footnote6"><sup>6</sup></a>
+ Another describes him as "a most amiable man, and great
+ genius, but not lively in conversation." His features have a
+ pleasing regularity, and are lit up, at every corner, with
+ that delightful humour which flows in a rich vein throughout
+ his writings, and forms their most attractive charm.</p>
+
+ <p>Having noticed Mr. Irving's principal works, we have left
+ but little occasion to speak of his general style. A
+ contemporary has denominated him the "Goldsmith of the age;"
+ and of Goldsmith we must remember that, in his epitaph, Dr.
+ Johnson observes: "he left no species of writing untouched, and
+ adorned all to which he applied himself"&mdash;a tribute which
+ can scarcely be appropriately paid to any writer of our time.
+ However, we know not any author that Mr. Irving so much
+ resembles as Goldsmith: although no imitator, his style and
+ language forcibly remind us of that easy flow so peculiar to
+ the Citizen of the World. But, we have higher warrant for this
+ parallel. "It seems probable," observes a critical writer of
+ considerable acumen, "that Mr. Irving might prove no
+ contemptible rival to Goldsmith, whose turn of mind he very
+ much inherits, and of whose style he particularly reminds us.
+ Like him, too, Mr. Irving possesses the art of setting
+ ludicrous perplexities in the most irresistible point of view,
+ and we think equals him in the variety of
+ humour."<a id="footnotetag7"
+ name="footnotetag7"></a><a href="#footnote7"><sup>7</sup></a></p>
+
+ <p>To conclude, we find the literary character of Mr. Irving
+ illustrated in a contemporary journal, with unusual spirit.
+ "There never was a writer," observes the editor, "whose
+ popularity was more matter of feeling, or more intimate than
+ Washington Irving, perhaps, because he appeared at once to our
+ simplest and kindliest emotions. His affections were those of
+ 'hearth and home;' the pictures he delighted to draw were those
+ of natural loveliness, linked with human sympathies; and a too
+ unusual thing with the writers of our time&mdash;he looked upon
+ God's works, and 'saw that they were good.' * * * With him the
+ wine of life is not always on the lees. An exquisite vein of
+ poetry runs through every page,&mdash;and of poetry, his
+ epithets who does not remember&mdash;'the shark, glancing like
+ a spectre through the blue seas.'"<a id="footnotetag8"
+ name="footnotetag8"></a><a href="#footnote8"><sup>8</sup></a></p>
