prejudicial     to  their  best   interests。   The     Court    will  be   composed      of  a 

political gentleman�察�sitting in a secluded room commanding a view of St。

any stretch of the human imagination�察�be supposed capable of doing。 

     2。   The jury to consist of Five Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty´five 

Volunteers。 

     3。   The jury to be strictly prohibited from seeing either the accused or 

the   witnesses。     They  are   not   to   be   sworn。    They  are   on   no   account   to 

hear the evidence。        They are to receive it�察�or such representations of it�察�as 

may   happen   to   fall   in   their   way�察  �and   they   will   constantly   write   letters 

about it to all the Papers。

supposing   the   hypothetical   case�察  �or   the   evidence�察  �for   the   prosecution   to 

charge the administration of two poisons�察�say Arsenic and Antimony�察�and 

supposing the taint of Arsenic in the body to be possible but not probable�察�

and the presence of Antimony in the body�察�to be an absolute certainty�察�it 

will then become the duty of the jury to confine their attention solely to 

the Arsenic�察�and entirely to dismiss the Antimony from their minds。

ARE   NOT  EXACTLY  CONSISTENT  WITH THE ADMINISTRATION 

OF POISON。 To illustrate this enactment in the proposed Bill by a case�此� 

A   raging   mad   dog   is   seen   to   run   into   the   house   where   Z   lives   alone�察�

foaming at the mouth。         Z and the mad dog are for some time left together 

in   that   house    under   proved     circumstances�察    �irresistibly   leading    to  the 

conclusion that Z has been bitten by the dog。             Z is afterwards found lying 

on his bed in a state of hydrophobia�察�and with the marks of the dog's teeth。 

Now�察�the symptoms of that disease being identical with those of another 

disease called Tetanus�察�which might supervene on Z's running a rusty nail 

into a certain part of his foot�察�medical practitioners who never saw Z�察�shall 

bear testimony to that abstract fact�察�and it shall then be incumbent on the 

Registrar´General to certify that Z died of a rusty nail。 

     It is hoped that these alterations in the present mode of procedure will 

not only be quite satisfactory to the accused person ��which is the first great 

consideration���察�but will also tend�察�in a tolerable degree�察�to the welfare and 

safety    of  society。    For   it  is  not  sought    in  this  moderate     and   prudent 

measure to be wholly denied that it is an inconvenience to Society to be 

poisoned overmuch。 



               LEIGH HUNT�此                  �A REMONSTRANCE 



     ;The   sense   of   beauty   and   gentleness�察  �of   moral   beauty   and   faithful 

gentleness�察�grew upon him as the clear evening closed in。                 When he went 

to visit his relative at Putney�察�he still carried with him his work�察�and the 

books   he   more   immediately   wanted。         Although   his   bodily   powers   had 

been giving way�察�his most conspicuous qualities�察�his memory for books�察�

and his affection remained�察�and when his hair was white�察�when his ample 

chest   had   grown   slender�察    �when    the   very   proportion    of   his   height   had 

visibly lessened�察�his step was still ready�察�and his dark eyes brightened at 

every happy expression�察�and at every thought of kindness。                  His death was 

simply   exhaustion�察  �he   broke   off   his   work   to   lie   down   and   repose。   So 

gentle was the final approach�察�that he scarcely recognised it till the very 

last�察  �and   then   it   came   without   terrors。  His   physical   suffering   had   not

been severe�察�at the latest hour he said that his only uneasiness was failing 

breath。     And   that   failing   breath   was   used   to   express   his   sense   of   the 

inexhaustible kindness he had received from the family who had been so 

unexpectedly made his nurses��to draw from one of his sons�察�by minute�察�

eager�察  �and   searching   questions�察  �all   that   he   could   learn   about   the   latest 

vicissitudes   and   growing   hopes   of   Italy��to   ask   the   friends   and   children 

around   him   for   news   of   those   whom   he   loved��and   to   send   love   and 

messages to the absent who loved him。; 

       Thus�察  �with   a   manly  simplicity   and   filial   affection�察  �writes   the   eldest 

son of Leigh Hunt in recording his father's death。                  These are the closing 

words of a new edition of The Autobiography of Leigh Hunt�察�published by 

Messrs。   Smith   and   Elder�察  �of   Cornhill�察  �revised   by   that   son�察  �and   enriched 

with an introductory chapter of remarkable beauty and tenderness。                          The 

son's first presentation of his father to the reader�察 �rather tall�察�straight as an 

arrow�察�looking slenderer than he really was�察�his hair black and shining�察�and 

slightly inclined to wave�察�his head high�察�his forehead straight and white�察�

his   eyes   black   and   sparkling�察�his   general   complexion   dark�察  �in   his   whole 

carriage     and    manner     an   extraordinary      degree    of   life�察─ �completes      the 

picture。     It is the picture of the flourishing and fading away of man that is 

born of a woman and hath but a short time to live。 

     In his presentation of his father's moral nature and intellectual qualities�察�

Mr Hunt is no less faithful and no less touching。                Those who knew Leigh 

Hunt�察�will see the bright face and hear the musical voice again�察�when he is 

recalled     to  them     in  this  passage�此      �Even      at  seasons    of   the   greatest 

depression in his fortunes�察�he always attracted many visitors�察�but still not 

so   much   for   any   repute   that   attended   him   as   for   his   personal   qualities。 

Few men were more attractive�察�in society�察�whether in a large company or 

over      the   fireside。      His     manners       were     peculiarly     animated�察      �his 

conversation�察�varied�察�ranging over a great field of subjects�察�was moved and 

called     forth   by   the   response     of   his   companion�察      �be   that  companion 

philosopher or student�察�sage or boy�察�man or woman�察�and he was equally 

ready     for   the   most    lively    topics   or   for   the   gravest    reflectionshis 

expression   easily   adapting   itself   to   the   tone   of   his   companion's   mind。 

With much freedom of manners�察�he combined a spontaneous courtesy that

never failed�察�and a considerateness derived from a ceaseless kindness of 

heart    that   invariably    fascinated     even    strangers。;     Or    in   this�此   �His 

animation�察�his sympathy with what was gay and pleasurable�察�his avowed 

doctrine   of   cultivating   cheerfulness�察  �were   manifest   on   the   surface�察  �and 

could   be   appreciated   by   those   who   knew   him   in   society�察  �most   probably 

even exaggerated as salient traits�察�on which he himself insisted WITH A 

SORT OF GAY AND OSTENTATIOUS WILFULNESS。; 

     The last words describe one of the most captivating peculiarities of a 

most original and engaging man�察�better than any other words could。 The 

reader   is   besought   to   observe   them�察  �for   a   reason   that   shall   presently   be 

given。      Lastly�此     �The     anxiety    to   recognise     the  right   of   others�察  �the 

tendency to 'refine'�察�which was noted by an early school companion�察�and 

the propensity to elaborate every thought�察�made him�察�along with the direct 

argument by which he sustained his own conviction�察�recognise and almost 

admit all that might be said on the opposite side;。               For these reasons�察�and 

for   others   suggested   with   equal   felicity�察  �and   with   equal   fidelity�察  �the   son 

writes of the father�察 �It is most desirable that his qualities should be known 

as they were�察�for such deficiencies as he had are the honest explanation of 

his   mistakes�察  �while�察    �as   the   reader  may   see   from   his   writings   and    his 

conduct�察  �they   are   not�察  �as   the   faults   of   which   he   was   accused   would   be�察�

incompatible with the noblest faculties both of head and heart。                    To know 

Leigh Hunt as he was�察�was to hold him in reverence and love。; 

     These quotations are made here�察�with a special object。                  It is not�察�that 

the personal testimony of one who knew Leigh Hunt well�察�may be borne to 

their truthfulness。      It is not�察�that it may be recorded in these pages�察�as in 

his   son's   introductory  chapter�察  �that his   life   was   of   the   most   amiable   and 

domestic kind�察�that his wants were few�察�that his way of life was frugal�察�that 

he was a man of small expenses�察�no ostentations�察�a diligent labourer�察�and a 

secluded man of letters。 It is not�察�that the inconsiderate and forgetful may 

be reminded of his wrongs and sufferings in the days of the Regency�察�and 

of    the  national    disgrace     of  his
