Nor can we omit, in concluding this notice of a most remarkable book, some notice of the disputes as to its authorship. The newspapers have been full of them. Mr. Anders, rector of Kirkby, writes early in April of this year to assure the world that “the author of Adam Bede is Mr. Liggins, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and the characters whom he paints in Scenes of Clerical Life, are as familiar there as the twin spires of Coventry.” But just as we have satisfied our minds that this is the true state of the case, and are feeling greatly obliged to Mr. Anders, a wrathful letter from “George Eliot” disturbs us; asking (not unreasonably) whether “the act of publishing a book deprives a man of all claim to the courtesies usual amongst gentlemen?”... Then some gentleman is “receiving subscriptions” as the ill-used author of Adam Bede. Finally, the Messrs. Blackwood, turning at last to throw a stone, declare that, “those works are not written by Mr. Liggins, or by any one with a name like Liggins.” ... Now upon all this we have only to remark, that we cordially agree in the dictum of Mr. Eliot, that “the attempt to pry into what is obviously meant to be withheld,--his name,--is quite indefensible.”--_Edinb. Rev._, 1859.

LITERARY BORROWING.

[_To the Editor of the_ ATHENÆUM].

Ivy Cottage, Ballard’s Lane, Finchley, Jan. 1, 1867.

May I utter a complaint touching a Mr. Grenville Fletcher, late editor of the _Kentish Champion_, _Court Journal_, _Mirror of the World_, _Hants Standard_, &c. Looking, as I always do, in old bookshops, I came across a volume, the other day, professing to be a third series of “Parliamentary Portraits,” by this gentleman. A very small piece of silver secured for me possession of the prize. On taking it home and examining it, I find page after page reprinted from my “Modern Statesmen,” without a single word of acknowledgment. Mr. Fletcher gives a sketch of Viscount Palmerston, almost entirely mine. He devotes eight pages to Sir James Graham; and more than six of them are mine. I wrote an article on Mr. Brand; Mr. Fletcher reprints it, slightly altering it. Thus he commences: “It was during the lull of an evening debate I once beheld Lord John Russell carrying on a friendly and good-natured conversation, on the Government benches of the House of Commons. To see his lordship smile is a very unusual circumstance, for he is mostly so excessively cold in his manner--added to which there is a rigid demeanour about him--as one would only expect to be evinced by a _great_ man, knowing that he is part and parcel of that wonderful machine the British Constitution.” I had written: “It was once my good fortune to behold Lord John Russell smile, and carry on a friendly conversation, on the Government benches of the British House of Commons. Generally his lordship is cold and dignified in his demeanour, as becomes a man who is part and parcel of that wonderful machine the British Constitution.” In like manner Mr. Fletcher has helped himself to my Sketches of Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Lindsay. This gifted work is dedicated to Lord Llanover, and bears on the title-page the respectable name of Mr. James Ridgway, Piccadilly. In his Introduction the author expresses his gratitude to the _members_ of his own _craft_ (the public _press_) for the truthful, generous, and impartial mode in which his portraits have been critically noticed. Surely Mr. Fletcher might have expressed his gratitude to, amongst others, yours, &c.

Histoire des deux derniers Rois de la Maison de Stuart Par ----. Suivie de Pièces originales et Justificatives; ouvrage traduit de l’Anglais; auquel on a joint une notice sur la Vie de l’Auteur [By the Abbé D’Andrezel]. Paris, 1809.

This anonymous translator “violated the fidelity which he owed to his author” by suppressing numerous passages, without taking the slightest notice of such, and by altering other passages, and in fact “cooking it up” to serve the then prevalent French notions. A full account will be found in the Edinburgh Rev., 1810. Quérard in his France Littéraire, quotes a passage which intimates that Napoleon himself had a hand in the mutilation and suppression of the obnoxious passages.

An Abridgment of Blackstone’s Commentaries. 1821.

Did Mr. Foss intend that the public should be deceived? or was he not aware of another, the real Richmond being in the field.

We believe he was not. It is most extraordinary that two persons should, about the same time, write abridgments of the same work, under the same pseudonym. But another extraordinary point is that John Richard Green died in 1818, five years before his abridgment was published! Mr. Foss seems to have been translated into German.

This trifle was written at Cheltenham, in the autumn of 1812, and published anonymously in the spring of the following year. It was not very well received at the time by the public; and the author was by no means anxious that it should be considered as his handiwork. “I fear,” he says, in a letter to a friend, “that a certain malicious publication on waltzing is attributed to me. This report, I suppose you will take care to contradict; as the author I am sure would not like that I should wear his cap and bells.”--_Note in Byron’s Works_, 1850, p. 456. We have never seen the first edition, but a quotation in the Gentleman’s Magazine, April, 1813, p. 348, shows it to be the same.
