In an excellent article in that very excellent English

translated into Armenian, and “It may be worth while to mention
that advantage has been taken (at the British Museum) of the
polyglot popularity of Uncle Tom’s Cabin to afford students an
opportunity, not otherwise procurable, of studying the colloquial
and familiar idiom of different countries. Versions have been
procured in almost every European language; and there are some,
Welsh and Wallachian, for instance, in which there are double or
triple versions of this particular book, while there is hardly a
double version of any other except the Bible.”

Dr. Cumming, sent to the Times an account of a successful honey
harvest about the end of July last (1864). This led to various
inquiries by different writers addressed to that journal, which,
having been forwarded to the ‘Bee-Master,’ a series of six
other letters on bees and wasps was subsequently published....
They occupy 50 pages of the volume before us, which consists of
224.... All this was written, printed, and published, with a
number of woodcuts, by the end of September!” The writer (in the
_Athenæum_) concludes by saying that it is “an amusing addition
to the bibliography of the hive.”

MR. THORNBURY’S “LIFE OF TURNER.”
(To the Editor of the _Athenæum_.)
Hutton, Brentwood, Dec. 2, 1861.
“Turner hated plagiarism,” says Mr. Thornbury in his recently
published life of our great landscape painter (vol. ii. p. 256);
and he endeavours to show, in no very graceful terms, in his
preface, that plagiarism in literature is as repugnant to his
feelings as a man of letters, as plagiarism in art was to the
artist. “Mr. Timbs,” remarks the biographer, “with little of
that courtesy which should distinguish literary men, plying his
scissors with his usual industry, has lately cut out a dozen or
two of trite or erroneous Turner stories, and published them in
a catchpenny form, for which--as partly fulfilling Job’s wish--I
thank him.”
I may very fairly exclaim with Gratiano, “I thank thee, Jew, for
teaching me that word”; for Mr. Thornbury has plied his scissors
on a short memoir of Turner of mine with a prodigality that seems
almost incredible. Mr. Timbs, the prolific compiler, publishes
his Turner stories as a compilation. Mr. Thornbury prints all the
best of my Turner stories, scattered over many pages, as his own.
In the last edition of Turner’s “Rivers of France,” published in
1853, by Mr. Bohn, there is a memoir of the artist by Mr. Alaric
Watts, in which is included six pages of extracts from my memoir,
with honourable mention of me as the author. I need only refer to
Mr. Watts’s extracts, because it is from these that Mr. Thornbury
has helped himself. Out of the six pages (p. xlii. to xlviii.)
containing them, he has appropriated three; the contents appear
in vol. i. pp. 67 and 198-199, and in vol. ii. pp. 130-131, 141,
161, 217-218 and 318. The first extract Mr. Thornbury takes the
trouble to rewrite:--
_Reeve_, 1851. _Thornbury_, 1861.
“He would walk through portions “He walked twenty to twenty-five
of England, twenty to miles a day, with his baggage
twenty-five miles a day, with his tied up in a handkerchief, and
little modicum of baggage at the swinging on the end of a stick.
end of a stick, sketching rapidly He sketched quickly all the good
on his way all striking pieces of pieces of composition he met. He
composition, and marking effects made quick pencil notes in his
with a power that daguerrotyped pocket-book, and photographed
them in his mind. There were into his mind legions of transitory
few moving phenomena in clouds effects by aid of a stupendous,
shadows which he did not fix retentive, and minute memory.”
indelibly in his memory.”
Mr. Thornbury, thinking probably that my style was now
sufficiently elegant for his purpose, lays down the pen for the
scissors. His next extract, commencing “An intimate friend,
while travelling in the Jura,” vol. i. p. 198-199, is printed
_verbatim_. The next cutting is manipulated with the skill of an
accomplished penny-a-liner. It occupies an entire page of Mr.
Thornbury’s work, vol. ii. pp. 130-131, commencing “One element
in Turner’s success was his indifference to praise,” and ending
“He felt keenly the ignorant criticisms and ridicule with which
his own pictures were sometimes treated.” The ingenuity exercised
to give originality to this paragraph consists in half a dozen
lines in one part of it being printed between turned commas,
and attributed to Mr. Peter Cunningham! The fourth extract,
p. 141, commencing “He never would tell his birthday,” is
printed _verbatim_. Of the next interpolated paragraph, p. 161,
commencing “He wrote few letters,” I have less to complain of.
Mr. Thornbury does not print this, similar to the rest, as his
own, but, like a vast number of other collectanea in his book,
between turned commas, without acknowledgment or reference. The
next extract occupies an entire page, p. 217-218, and is printed,
also, _verbatim_; it commences, “Turner was always on the alert
for any remarkable effects,” and ends, “in which the great
artist’s attention had been caught by the hissing and puffing and
glowing fire of the locomotive.” The seventh and last clause in
my indictment against Mr. Thornbury is a short one; and as it is
altered I must ask permission to give it entire:--
_Reeve_, 1851. _Thornbury_, 1861.
