A few years later Lamb became one of _Blackwood's_ contributors. Two attacks on Lamb proceeded from the _Quarterly_. The _Confessions of a Drunkard_, the writer says, "affords a fearful picture of the consequences of intemperance which we have reason to know is a true tale."[472] In his _Progress of Infidelity_, Southey asserted that Elia's volume of essays wanted "only sounder religious feeling, to be as delightful as it is original."[473] Lamb's wrath had been slowly gathering under the strain of repeated attacks on Hunt, Hazlitt and himself. It culminated with Southey's article. In the _London Magazine_ of October, 1823, he repudiated at considerable length the compliments thrust upon him at the expense of his friends, and denied the arraignment of drunkenness and heterodoxy. Matters were then smoothed over between him and Southey through an explanation which his unfailing good nature could not resist. Haydon was nick-named the "Raphael of the Cockneys."[474] Until the exhibition of _Christ's Entry into Jerusalem_ in Edinburgh in 1820, he underwent the same kind of persecution as his friends. His "greasy hair" was about as notorious as Hazlett's "pimpled face." But the picture converted _Blackwood's_ crew. They apologized and confessed that their misapprehensions had been due to the absurd style of laudation in _The Examiner_. Henceforward they acknowledged him to be "a high Tory and an aristocrat, and a sound Christian."[475] Bryan Waller Procter, or Barry Cornwall, was satirized in _Blackwood's_ for his so-called effeminacy. In October, 1823, the following facetious passage occurs: "the merry thought of a chick--three tea-spoonsfulls of peas, the eighth part of a French roll, a sprig of cauliflower, and an almost imperceptible dew of parsley" would dine the author of _The Deluge_. The article on Shelley's _Posthumous Poems_ in the _Edinburgh_ of July, 1824, was attributed to Procter by _Blackwood's_ and assailed in a most disgusting manner. The article was by Hazlitt. John Hamilton Reynolds was a friend of Keats, one of the _Young Poets_ reviewed by Hunt in _The Examiner_, and a contributor to the _London Magazine_. His two poems, _Eden of the Imagination_ and _Fairies_, showed Hunt's influence. In the former he had even dared to praise Hunt in the notes. Cornelius Webb was the author of numerous poems which exhibit in a marked degree the Huntian peculiarities of diction pointed out in the first chapter. He is moreover responsible for the unfortunate lines so often quoted in derision by Blackwood's: "Keats The Muses' son of promise! and what feats He yet may do."
