Review Of Literature, &C.
for , in many respects , he has not done them justice , as any one who has held intercourse with many estimable men , travelling on business or pleasure in this country must know ; perhaps they may have been of the first sample , —if so , they were but a sample of a community of which we have seen but little in the Notes . AVe agree with the author in his denunciation of the filthy custom of incessantly squirting the saliva , impregnated with tobaccoon the carpets ; and the advice to wipe even your purse
, , should it fall , is a home-thrust . Ridicule may effect a change , when abuse might fail . Other authors have created a propensity to visit the United-States ; we suspect Dickens will remove this , and are impressed with the notion that Boz has crossed the Atlantic for the first and last time . The little novelty he has given us , might have been clone without the trouble of being sea-sick . AVe look in vain for that powerful examination into the polity and character of a mighty nation which we
expected from Dickens , who appears to have been feted into a palling sickness , ancl hence his morbid sensibility about the " iron muzzle , " which renders his concluding sentence not even intelligible . Boz is all-powerful with the fourth estate of the realm , and we shall be voted out of fashion ; but even a prime minister may now and then he at fault , and he should be made sensible of it . It does not follow that the mere vibration of the Zenith is a threatening of the Nadir .
The Miser ' s Daughter . In three volumes ; by AV . Harrison Ainsworth . Cunningham . These pleasing volumes are a re-publication from the papers , under the same title as they have appeared in ' Ainswoi-tlt ' s Magazine . .
