Mr. Macaulay's vigorous sketch of the gallant cornet of horse who
resigned his commission for the toga, and, after figuring during his
life as statesman than whom "none has left a more stainless, and none a
more splendid name," was stricken down in full council while straining
his feeble voice to rouse the drooping spirit of his country, forms the
fifth part of _The Traveller's Library_: and it would be difficult to
find a volume of the same compass better calculated to furnish a couple
of hours' amusing and instructive reading than _William Pitt, Earl of
Chatham, by Thomas Babington Macaulay_.
Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell, on Tuesday next, an extensive
collection of Autograph Letters, chiefly of distinguished Actors,
Actresses, and Dramatic Writers, but including a very interesting series
of letters, documents, and papers relating to the Byron family, and,
what is of still more importance and historical value, the Autograph
Correspondence of Charles I. with Captain Titus, written during his
imprisonment in Carisbrook Castle, and treating of his proposed escape
from it, and also some letters of Charles II., addressed by him, after
the Restoration, to the same zealous adherent. On the following day
Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will be employed in the disposal of a very
select Collection of Autograph Letters and Historical Documents,
including Letters and Autographs of Queen Elizabeth, James I., King John
of France (Jehan le Bon), Richard Duke of York, Philip II. of Spain, and
many documents connected with the great Anglo-Norman Families, and the
Royal Houses of France and Normandy.
