Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, and Rector of Settrington, County of York. Rivingtons. BEFORE we proceed to the enquiry suggested by the three last of the publications here announced, the first demands our earliest attention. At the same time the real value of a new edition of the Icon Basilikè depends entirely, in our estimation, on who is, upon reasonable grounds of probability, determined to be its author. If "The Portraiture" was not actually drawn by the hand of that individual whose "solitudes and sufferings" it delineates, we feel no scruple in saying, that so far from wishing to see a new edition of it, we would rather that every copy of it were committed to the flames ;---a choice from which we think no casuistry can disturb us. On the other hand, (which is the hypothesis we will for the present assume), if the picture be indeed drawn by the hand of suffering Majesty, then we rejoice at every fresh facility given to its circulation, and recommend the present edition to our readers, hoping that it may meet with an extensive perusal, especially among our own countrymen. Our present object, however, is to go into the very interesting enquiry proposed by the important publication which stands second on our list. In this enquiry, we know not how we can do better than follow the order suggested by Dr. Wordsworth, in his first publication. In fact, it is almost due to the unwearied diligence and patience of research, as well as candour and impartiality of argument, which mark his enquiry, that we should do so. Especially too, as the publication we have to notice from Mr. Todd, follows in the same track; viz. with a division of the testimonies into external and internal, only in an inverted order. We will begin, therefore, at once upon the examination thus proposed. The Icon Basilikè, professing, we conceive, in its title-page, to be the work of King Charles the First's hand, has met with another claimant in the person of Dr. John Gauden, formerly Dean and Rector of Bocking, and afterwards Bishop successively of the sees of Exeter and Worcester. It is quite needless to detain our readers with the circumstances connected with Mr. Todd's Life of Bishop Walton, which may seem to have led Dr. W. into the present question; it is sufficient to state at once, that in a letter from Dr. Gauden to Sir Edward Hyde (afterwards Earl of Clarendon) immediately after the Restoration, Dr. Gauden's claim to the authorship of this book is declared in the following express terms: "--- nor do I doubt but I shall, by your Lordship's favour, find the fruits as to something extraordinary, since the service was so. Not as to what was known to the world under my name, in order to vindicate the Crown and the Church, but what goes under the late blessed King's name, the Eikov, or Portraiture of his Majesty in his Solitudes and Sufferings. This book and figure was wholly and only my invention, making, and design, in order to vindicate the King's wisdom, honor, and piety. My wife, indeed, was conscious of it, and had a hand in disguising the letters of that copy which I sent to the King in the Isle of Wight, by the favour of the late Marquis of Hertford, which was delivered to the King by the now Bishop of Winchester. His Majesty graciously accepted, owned, and adopted it as his sense and genius; not only with great approbation, but admiration. He kept it with him, and though his cruel murtherers went on to perfect his martyrdom, yet God preserved and prospered this book, to revive his honor, and redeem his Majesty's name from that grave of contempt and abhorrence, or infamy, in which they aimed to bury him."-Clarendon Papers, vol. III. p. xxix. Appendix, as cited in "Who wrote," &c. pp. 8, 9. Whatever else is to be said of this claim, it cannot be denied, that it is, at least, clear, positive, and explicit; moreover it is circumstantial. Other circumstances, too, are to be added to this statement, (not, indeed, originally from the pen of the Bishop, for this is the main strength of his claim, as expressed directly by himself, but) from writings of the Bishop's wife, and of a former Curate of his, a Dr. Walker. Mrs. Gauden states*, with regard to this book, that "when (her) husband had writ it, he shewed it to my Lord Capell, who did very highly approve of it:" that at the instance of Lord Hertford, he "did resolve to * The citation here made is from the truly valuable " Documentary Supplement" of Dr. W., the discrepancies of which on one particular point, from part of a pamphlet, called "Truth brought to Light, &c." will be noticed hereafter. |
