    ; Bishop Monk’s Life of Bentley^' /j2 i l60 i . V not escape the penalty of our regret, that his extensive kno^vledge, his accurate and tasteful observation, the Attic elegance of his mind, have not left us a more extensive and enduringftnonument of his powers than the editions of the few dramas ojff'wh^ must rest. In another respect, indeed, he Ijysf^ lej which we should be most unjust if we were I0 pass which we trust will be of enduring intli^ce ; dour and amenity of his style, whjjdi, though ny no me^ devoid of a kind of quiet irony, hq»was almost tlie’^twiil ,to4tlfro- duce into classical controversy. On the rest of our living..stmolars we are designedly silent. We shall only express our hope that some of them will yet antici- pate and avert the verdict.which posterity may be inclined to pass, as having left behind J#ut little to justify their living reputation. At all events, in the??^^ife of Bentley,’ Bishop Monk will have an ample plea for aiiJ^est of judgment against such a charge: it is a w'oik which not^only, from the character of Bentley himself, but from its able and judicious e^recution, will ever command a pro- minent plate in the libraiy'o^f the scholar ; while the animation, as welh-^s the industry with which the stirring tale of literary and academic feud is related, and the vast fund of literary information on many subjects, which is collected within this single volume, .will secure it a lasting interest even with the less learned reader.
