The Calcutta Review, No. XIV. June, 1817. Calcutta: Printed for the Proprietor. London: Smith, Elder, and Co. THE present number of the Calcutta Review is by no means a showy one. All the longer articles, except one, belong to the heavier class, and the excepted paper is a disgrace to the generally respectable publication in which it has found a place. It professes to be a review of the memoirs of the notorious judge, Sir Elijah Impey, recently published by Mr. E. J. Impey, but is, in truth, an abstract of that very stupid book, prefaced by some remarks intended to be bitter, but which are simply snarling, and interlarded with numerous quotations from the Impey correspondence. It has been understood that the contributors to the Calcutta Review were residents in India, and this belief gave to the work half its interest. This Impey paper, however, was obviously prepared in London. The writer says, "We have now before us a manuscript volume in Impey's handwriting, containing a recital of cases heard in the King's Bench, Guildhall, Westminster, &c. &c., commencing shortly after his call to the bar." The reviewer seems to think that the King's Bench, Guildhall, and Westminster, are the names of three separate courts, and not to be at all aware that one court only is indicated, that court sometimes sitting at Westminster and sometimes in the City of London; but let that pass. How did this volume come before a reviewer in Calcutta? It never did so come. The article, as we have before said, was fabricated in London,- -a fact confirmed by the constant reference made to certain unpublished correspondence deposited by Mr. E. B. Impey in the British Museum,-a repository not very readily consulted by one writing in Calcutta. We may affirm, then, without hesitation, that this paper was put together by some Cockney hack of the press, and we need not doubt that he was well paid for it. Whether or not the insertion in the Review was paid for, we cannot undertake to decide. But if it were not, it ought to have been, for the damage thereby done to the work cannot fail to be great, and may be irreparable. It must shake all confidence in the honesty of the Calcutta Review.

We cannot praise the workmanship of the article, nor congratulate Mr. Impey on having secured the services of a clever mechanic. The hireling who has cooked up this precious mélange is, in truth, an arrant bungler. He has done nothing for Mr. Impey, much as he needed assistance; and that unhappy person, after throwing away a good sum of money in printing a book which nobody will ever buy, has added to his folly by throwing away more in the purchase of an article, the leaves of which no reader of the Calcutta Review will ever cut open, after running over the first page. This, however, is his business; perhaps he is rich, and rich men may scatter their money as they list. But we may ask, how far is it consistent with the character of a critical publication, which professes to examine books dispas. sionately and disinterestedly, and to judge them according to their merits, to admit such an article as this abridgment of Impey by Impey's man? This is a question which it behoves the conductors of the Calcutta Review to take into serious consideration. A few more such articles, and the credit of their journal will be gone.

It seems, according to Mr. Impey's journeyman, that the illustrious family, of which that gentleman is the mouthpiece, at one time meditated an appeal to the law against Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Thornton (Mr. Mill was removed beyond the reach of their vengeance, which did not attain boiling-heat till some fiveand-twenty years after he published his history). But this legal speculation is too strong, even for the gentleman hack of the Review, and he expresses his disapprobation of such a course, taking occasion, in a passing note, to crack, at the expense of Mr. Macaulay, a most lugubrious joke, the point of which we have in vain laboured to discover. We really think Mr. Impey himself must have furnished the joke. We do not pretend to guess whether or not he furnished the description of his own qualification for a biographer, which appears in the same page. The first of these is, that he is "a son of the chief justice;" let that stand, for all that it is worth. Secondly, he (Mr. E. J. Impey) is "a gentleman of quiet, scholarly habits;" quiet enough his habits appear to have been, for, till he committed the folly of writing a book, nobody ever heard of him. As to his scholarship, that is even yet a profound secret, and we must have some better voucher for it than the assertion of either Mr. Impey himself or his Rag-fair littérateur. Thirdly, Mr. Impey is "well acquainted with ancient and modern tongues." What are they,

66

The

and how many tongues are requisite to enable a man to write a biographical account of his own father? Fourthly, Mr. Impey possesses no inconsiderable knowledge of history, especially the history of those times which embrace the government and trial of Warren Hastings." How strange, since his knowledge is not inconsiderable, that he could not avoid falling into so many blunders. Fifthly, he was "an intimate and confidential friend of that great man (Warren Hastings), and other celebrated cotemporaries of Sir Elijah Impey." He was the friend of Hastings, and therefore was qualified to write the life of Impey. This is as good as the old problem: given the tonnage of the ship and the name of the captain, to find the names of the owners. But at the end of this fine catalogue of qualifications comes an admission that Mr. Impey was "little skilled in book-making." Well, there is some honesty in this literary jobber, after all. Moreover, Mr. Impey and his man have displayed more prudence than might be looked for. "Memoirs" are full of errors, and the author of that notable book having been made aware of it, has suffered his working assistant to correct some of them. Mr. Impey was satisfied that there was no such person as Mackintosh, the reputed author of a certain book of travels; his journeyman shews that Mackintosh was not a phantom, but a living person, who performed for Francis much the same duties as he himself discharges on behalf of Mr. Impey. Yet it must be admitted, after all, that Mr. Impey's incredulity was very natural and very excusable. A popular modern writer has exhibited a similar feeling in a person very much resembling Mr. Impey in mental development. Betsey Prig did not believe there was any such person as Mrs. Harris, and why should not an old woman in coat and trowsers be as incredulous as an old woman in petticoats? Three or four more of Mr. Impey's numerous blunders are corrected with a very gentle hand, and among them is that which led him to deny that Sir Elijah had any thing to do with the harsh treatment of Mr. North Naylor; but as this error (or falsification) was first pointed out in our Journal, it would have been but just to have acknowledged the source from whence the correction derived.

was

The Calcutta Review not only professes a high religious tone, but is extremely fastidious in regard to some petty acts of abstinence which it is sometimes pleased to set up as the characteristics of genuine Christianity. It affects a bandbox and white kid morality on minor points which might lead us to conclude that in regard to the "weightier matters of the law" it would be sure to exercise a very wholesome degree of severity. As far as the Impey affair is concerned, this, however, is not the case. The story in which poor Mr. Elijah Barwell so greatly revels-the story, according to which, his father actually introduced Lady Impey to the society of such a person as Madame Grand, afterwards Madame Talleyrand, is made by the hack, and of course with the sanction of the editor, a matter for controversy, but not for one word of rebuke. Then there is another pretty little anecdote. The Impeys were on terms of close personal friendship with Warren Hastings and with Mrs. Hastings. To those who know the history of Mrs. Hastings, this, as far as Lady Impey was concerned, will be a source of wonder. But more than this, Sir Elijah and Lady Impey, we learn, had a daughter named Marian, and to this child Mrs. Hastings was- godmother! It would be idle to affect delicacy in regard to that which is so generally known. Mrs. Hastings was, by collusion, divorced from the husband of her youth, in order that the great Indian statesman might marry her. It is believed that the degraded person who thus parted with her to whom he had promised a lifelong constancy received a good round sum for his complaisance. In the eye of heaven, Mrs. Hastings was the wife of the man whom she had forsaken, and her connection with the GovernorGeneral of India was an awful violation of the law of God. How admirably qualified was she, therefore, to promise at the font, on behalf of her infant charge, that she should "renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh," and that "she should keep God's holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of her life." How admirably qualified to perform the injunction of the church to sponsors, "It is your parts and duties to see that this infant be taught, as soon as she shall be able to learn, what a solemn vow, promise, and profession she hath made by you." Yet from the person permitted in this instance to occupy the critical chair of the Calcutta Review, we meet not one word of either surprise or blame. Surely we may ask, what is the character of that work? Does it claim to be a religious publication or not? If it make such claim, do its conductors hold that the Seventh Commandment may be repealed or suspended at the discretion of any earthly authority? We are not adepts in religiosentimental simpering; but we cannot consent to compromise

the requirements of the divine law, even for the convenience of a Governor-General of India. Hastings' reverend biographer may think it consistent with his profession to tax his ingenuity for an apology in this scandalous case; and the super-sensitive Calcutta Review may contemplate Mrs. Hastings in the character of a baptismal sponsor with bowing and smiling acquiescence. We will not thus prostitute the press. Whenever vice and infamy come in our way, we will brand them with their proper marks. But whatever the pretensions of the Calcutta Review, and whatever its performances, those who are responsible for its management, and those who by any means obtain the use of its pages, may alike rest assured that all attempts to whitewash Chief Justice Impey are vain and fruitless. History has irrevocably determined his place in men's memories, and a fearful one it is. "No other such judge has dishonoured the English ermine since Jefferies drank himself to death in the Tower." It is idle to abuse Mr. Macaulay or anybody else. The best policy for Sir Elijah Impey's friends is to hold their peace.

We are glad that, by the concoction of this paper, some hungry hanger-on of literature has been enabled to live comfortably for a few days, or perhaps weeks; but we are sorry, most sincerely sorry, for the sake of the Calcutta Review, that such a piece of jobbery, put together here, and forwarded to Calcutta overland, should have been permitted to bring it into the contempt of all who have the ability to discern the marks of imposture which the pretended Anglo-Indian exhibits.

And now, as a bonne bouche, we will illustrate the literary merits of the Impey paper by extracting a few gems:

SPECIMEN OF BATHOS." At the former place (Naples) he (Impey senior) shed some fraternal tears over the grave of his brother James, and in the latter (Rome) he sate for his bust to Nollekens!"

SOLEMNITY AND COMMONPLACE." In January, 1768, he took an important step-he married." In the name of the Prophet, figs!

ASSIZE ESTHETICS." How much this case, which was tried in the picturesque city of Exeter at the assizes of 1769, may have contributed to the making of Impey's fortune, we are not competent to determine." Neither are we; but we doubt not that the picturesqueness of an assize town must operate very beneficially on the fortunes of the barristers on the circuit.

CONFUSION WORSE CONFOUNDED.-No. 1. "There is another more celebrated case in which Impey was prominently concerned, but of which his son makes no mention, not to belightly regarded in the estimate of the causes of his professional advancement, the well-known Cumberland and Grosvenor case, in which Impey was employed as counsel on the side of the Duke." No. 2. "We do not think that, after perusing these passages, any reader will hesitate to believe that Impey was indebted for his judgeship to the recommendation of Thurlow." No. 3. "Whatever may have been the secret history of Impey's elevation to the bench-and we have no right to seek for any other cause than that which lies on the surface-for the merits of the man he was selected," &c. After all, to what did the Indian judge owe his elevation? Was he indebted to his labours on behalf of the Duke of Cumberland, to the friendship of Thurlow, or to his own merits?

AN EVENT WANTED. "In the last century, even under ordinary circumstances, an Indian voyage was far more eventful than in these peaceable, prosaic days, and that was no ordinary voyage which witnessed the assemblage in one vessel of Francis, Clavering, Monson, Impey, Chambers, Hyde, and Le Maistre. Mrs. and the Misses Clavering appear to have accompanied the general; whilst Lady Ann Monson also followed the fortunes of her husband. It was more than ten years later that Mrs. Shore allowed her husband to embark alone, because, as the biographer of Lord Teignmouth affirms, the voyage was then seldom attempted by ladies." Where was the event? Perhaps it is to be found in the fact that nothing particular occurred. Danger, indeed, was out of the question, for the vessel which bore such a host of illustrious personages-Hyde and Le Maistre among them-must have been privileged like that which carried Cæsar and his fortunes. Why Mrs. Shore is made to drop in among this goodly company we cannot guess.

We could multiply such extracts to any desired extent, perhaps to an extent that would be desired by nobody; and we could engage that all should be equal to sample, but we suppose these will be enough; and when we inform the reader that all the passages above quoted are found within the compass of four consecutive pages (464 to 467), and that the review, as it is called, extends to seventy-five, he will be able to form a rough estimate of the amount of contradiction, absurdity, slip-slop, twaddle and nonsense which it contains. Here we take leave of the poor creature who penned the article, and of the still poorer creature who made up the book which gave occasion for it.

Sir,-I had suffered intensely for many years from bad digestion, attended with sleepless nights, frightful dreams, want of appetite, and extreme debility. The best advice I obtained was of no avail.

THE

HE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publication, which is issued on the 7th and 24th of every month, is to give, in a condensed form, the news of the preceding fortnight, up to the hour of the mail's departure, collected and arranged with especial reference to the requirements of the Indian public. Whilst matter not affecting the interests of, or calculated in any manner to entertain the Indian reader, is scrupulously excluded, the utmost pains are taken to obtain from every possible sourceoften from original and exclusive sources-information of peculiar interest to residents in the Indian presidencies, Ceylon, China, and the Straits. The better to secure the accomplishment of this desirable end, and to render the publication in every respect what it professes to be, an ATLAS FOR INDIA, the management has been placed in the hands of a gentleman recently editor of one of the leading daily journals of Calcutta.

The ATLAS FOR INDIA is not a mere reproduction of the principal contents of the weekly paper, but is in a great measure written expressly for Indian circulation. It contains a compendious narrative of the principal domestic and foreign events of the fortnight; military and commercial intelligence; literary and social chit-chat; items of personal news, &c. &c. Every number embraces a general summary of the news of the past fortnight, written expressly for this journal, regard being had to the relative importance and interest of the different events touched upon, in the eyes of the AngloIndian reader. It is the endeavour of the conductor of the ATLAS FOR INDIA, not only to give a condensed historical narrative of political events, but to catch the tone and temper of the times, and embody in the pages of this journal all that lighter fabric of social and literary intelligence, past, present, and prospective, which, in this age of progress, is so abundant in every great European metropolis.

Atlas Office, 6, Southampton-street, Strand. To be had of all News-agents. *** The next ATLAS FOR INDIA will be published on Tuesday, Oct. 7th.

"SIR,-I feel much pleasure in expressing the high opinion I entertain of the instruments you have hitherto furnished the College with.

"THOMAS SULLIVAN, Bandmaster Royal College."

"DEAR SIR,-I have great pleasure to inform you that the clarionets and oboe, with which you have furnished the 74th Highlanders, fully answer my expectations; they are certainly of superior quality, tone, and workmanship, and keep in very good repair. I must also remark that your Military Journal," containing the choicest collection from the newest Italian and German operas, is of great use to me, and as the arrangements are superior and effective, I place it at the head of any publications of the kind. Wishing you every success, believe me, dear Sir, &c. &c. &c. "HANS HARTUNG, Conductor of the Band, 74th Highlanders." "DEAR SIR,-In answer to your inquiry relative to my opinion of your instruments, I have much pleasure in stating that I approve of them very much. I will recommend them in the strongest terms to my friends and colleagues.I am, dear Sir, &c. "YAN MAANEN, H.M. 52nd Regt."

ADIES TRAVELLING, or otherwise exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, and heated particles of dust, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing preparation for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the kin. The numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, together with sun-brn, freckles, tan, and discolorations, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately soft and clear." Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen, the COURT and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several COURTS of Europe; together with the élite of the aristocracy and haute volée, from the sultry climes of India and the drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Madras to the frozen realms of the Czar and the saloons of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle.

Beware of spurious" KALYDORS," containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and which, by their repellent action, endanger health.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.-The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, improving, and beautifying the Human Hair, are too well known and appreciated to need comment. The very fact of its having stood the test of nearly half a century of probation, and obtained the especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court in the civilized world, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proof of its merits.-Price 3s. 6d.; 7s.; family bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and double that size, 21s. per bottle.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, a white Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the choicest and most recherché ingredients of the Oriental Herbal, of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti fying the Teeth and strengthening the Gums. Its truly efficient and fragrant aromatic properties have obtained its selection by the Court and Royal Family of Great Britain, and the sovereigns and nobility throughout Europe.-Price 2s. 9d. per box.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.-Unprincipled individuals, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious compounds under the names of Macassar Oil," "Kalydor," and "Odonto;" some under the implied sanction of Royalty and the Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception, while they copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials (substituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word “ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper of each article.-All others are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS!!

The genuine articles are sold by the Proprietors, and by every respectable Perfumer and Chemist throughout the kingdom.
