Excerpt from An Ecclesiastical History of Great Britain, Vol. 5 of 9: Chiefly of England, From the First Planting of Christianity, to the End of the Reign of King Charles the Second; With a Brief Account of the Affairs of Religion in Ireland
The 'adamus Exul of Grotius,' of which a well-executed translation has just appeared in the Monthly Magazine, is certainly well worth the attention of the literary world. Mr. Francis Barham, the translator, has achieved an interesting object, by ascertaining a genuine copy of this work; and we have read with pleasure every line of a composition, which so clearly establishes itself as the prototype of the noblest poem in the language, Milton's Paradise Lost. Never did the genius of the blind old schoolmaster shine more brilliantly, than when we contemplate the manner in which it soared and expanded itself from the suggestive ground, which, from its importance and merit, ought certainly to be separately published. - Literary Gazette.
