Tickell's production, _Anticipation_, is still remembered from its cleverness and humour; but when every speaker introduced into its pages has long been dead, and some of them were little known to fame, the pamphlet is preserved by a few solely from the celebrity which it once possessed. His death in 1793 was a most melancholy one. It is described by Professor Smyth in in his interesting _Memoir of Sheridan_, a book printed some years ago for distribution among his friends, and which well deserves publication. Independent of his contributions to the _Rolliad_, {334} Richardson did little as an author. His comedy of _The Fugitive_, acted and published in 1792, was well received, and is much praised. Why has this production so completely disappeared? General Fitzpatrick was born in 1749, and died in 1815. He was the second son of John, Earl of Upper Ossory; twice Secretary-at-War; once secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Duke of Portland, but what he regarded as his highest distinction, and it is recorded on his tomb, was the friendship of Fox during forty years of their lives. Some of his speeches on the union with Ireland will be found in the thirty-fourth volume of the _Parliamentary History_. His epitaph, by himself, is inscribed on a sarcophagus in the church-yard at Sunning Hill, in which he describes himself--what his friends admitted to be truth--a politician without ambition, a writer without vanity. Which is the true reading in the following lines by Fitzpatrick on Fox? In my copy the word "course" in the third line is erased, and the word "mind" is substituted. "A patriot's even course he steered, Mid Faction's wildest storms unmoved: By all who marked his _course_ revered, By all who knew his heart beloved." Sheridan says most justly: "Wit being generally founded upon the manners and characters of its own day, is crowned in that day, beyond all other exertions of the mind, with splendid and immediate success. But there is always something that equalises. In return, more than any other production, it suffers suddenly and irretrievably from the hand of Time." Still some publications, from their wit and brilliancy, are sufficiently buoyant to float down to posterity. The publication in question, the _Rolliad_, is one; the _Anti-Jacobin_ another. You may not be unwilling, in your useful pages, to give a list of some of the writers in the latter publication. My own copy of it is marked from that belonging to one of the writers, and is as follows:-- Nos. 1. 4. 9. 19. 26, 27--33., by Mr George Ellis. Nos. 6. and 7., by Messrs. Ellis and Frere. Nos. 20, 21, 22. 30--36., by Mr. Canning. No. 10. by M.; No. 13. by C. B.; No. 39. by N. To the remaining numbers, neither names nor initials are affixed. Can any of your readers explain the initials, M., C. B., and N., and give us the authors of the _remaining_ numbers?
