INDEX TO THE ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.-VOL. XIII.
FROM JANUARY TO APRIL, 1848.
January.—The Plate for January is a well execut-
ed mezzotint from a highly popular subject by
Ward, derived from an incident in Goldsmith's
life, which Boswell narrates in his Life of John-
son, as told by himself. "I received," said John-
son,
"one morning, a message from poor Gold-
smith that he was in great distress, and begging
that I would come to him as soon as possible.
sent him a guinea, and promised to come to him
directly. I accordingly went to him as soon as I
was dressed, and found that his landlady had al-
rested him for his rent, at which he was in a vio-
lent passion. I perceived that he had already
changed my guinea, and got a bottle of Madeira
and a glass before him. I put the cork into the
bottle, desired that he would be calm, and began
to talk to him of the means by which he might be
extricated. He then told me that he had a novel
ready for the press, which he produced to me. I
looked into it, and saw its merit, told the landlady
I should soon return, and having gone to a book-
seller, sold it for sixty pounds.' This," says
Boswell, was the Vicar of Wakefield."
February.-The subject of this Plate is from a
French artist, Labouchere, and is a finely con-
ceived group, consisting of Luther, Melancthon,
Pomeranius, and Cruciger, engaged in translat-
ing the Bible. The attitudes and expression of
the different figures are strikingly characteristic.
V March.-A beautiful portrait of the poet Tennyson.
April.-The Love Letter, from a subject by Hilton,
R. A., possessing great merits as a work of art,
which have been transferred by the engraver with
unusual fidelity and force.
