" But as to his ever having been "a
_profound_ commentator on the dramatic works of Shakspeare," I must beg
leave to express my doubts. At one period he filled the post of
sublibrarian to the Prince Regent; and that he was "ardently devoted to
the pursuits of literature" cannot be a question.
His published works, as far as I can learn, are as follows:-- {317}
1. A Trip to Holland, 1801.
2. Socrates, a dramatic poem, 8vo. 1806.
3. Lucianus Redivivus, or Dialogues concerning Men, Manners, and
Opinions, 8vo. 1812.
4. Shakspeare's Himself, or the Language of the Poet asserted;
being a full but dispassionate Examin of the Readings and
Interpretations of the several Editors, 2 vols. 8vo. 1815.

"Quin age, te incolumi potius....
...
Perficias quodcumque tibi nunc instat agendum."
He cannot construe "te incolumi.
