With the exception of the last, they
may be considered as a sort of alarum note, sounded to herald
the approach of the Latter-Day Pamphlets, which appeared shortly
afterwards.
The following is a list of these newspaper articles:--
In _The Examiner_, 1848.
March 4. "Louis Philippe."
April 29. "Repeal of the Union."
May 13. "Legislation for Ireland."
In _The Spectator_, 1848.
May 13. "Ireland and the British Chief Governor."
" "Irish Regiments (of the New Era)."
In _The Examiner_, 1848.
Dec. 2. "Death of Charles Buller."
The last-named paper, a tribute to the memory of his old pupil, we
shall give entire. Another man of genius,[A] now also gone to his
rest, sang sorrowfully on the same occasion:
[Footnote A: W.M. Thackeray.]
"Who knows the inscrutable design?
Blest be He who took and gave!
Why should your mother, Charles, not mine,
Be weeping at her darling's grave?
We bow to Heaven that will'd it so,
That darkly rules the fate of all,
That sends the respite or the blow,
That's free to give, or to recall.
