A bout thirty yeans ago, articles appeared Quarterly in a London Review, which filled the surrounding atmosphere with their evil odours, and whose venom was unhappily not spent when it had crossed three thousand miles of blue water so that they excited swellings and high disdain as they spread in the United States. Yet it is probable all the articles dropped from one pen, filled with gall; the pen, one may suppose, of some ancient Tory, whose ancestors had suffered in the War of I ndependence, or whose political creed admitted not of safety except in feudality and hereditary government, and who therefore was embittered by hearing of prosperity beyond them.
