The moral inculcated is unquestionable , and the style clear ; " mental tests" are preferred to the " graces" of language ; and we hope to be enabled to report of the 2 nd and 3 rd parts , the same unqualified approbation which is due to the first .
How did England become an Oligarchy ? By Jonathan Duncan , Esq . Madden and Co . . Thisis a literary gem—addressed to parliamentary reformers . It is truth and not fiction , and will stand as a text-book " ; it will rank with De Lolme , and the ablest commentators . Mr .
