JEREMIAH HOLME, was born near Woburn, in 1792, and assumed the profession of a schoolmaster when he reached man's years. He wrote a Geographical Primer in 1812, and contributed poems, on a variety of subjects, to public and private collections of verse. The Russells, consisting of some spirited stanzas on the portraits of Woburn Abbey, drew upon him the notice of the Duke of Bedford, himself a Russell, who appointed him his librarian and private secretary. Henceforward his life flowed in an even course of literary usefulness. He wrote Aonian Hours in 1819, Julia Alphiniida in 1822, an English translation of the poems of Garcilasso de la Vega, a translation of Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered in 1830, three volumes of Historical Memoirs of the House of Russell in 1833, &c. Tasso is free and flowing, but nothing like Fairfax's. In his history Wiffen draws considerably upon his imagination; but when he reaches the authentic period, or when history really begins, he is as faithful as a partial writer could be. He died, as he had lived, a staunch Quaker, on the 2d of May 1856.
