trail ART OF CONTRACTING DAIITSk
AND GETTING RID OF ONE'S CREDITORS.

A mall volume, under this attractive tide. lin
ledy been published in Paris. The author, whose
motto is that "every body must have wherewithal
to live," commences with this principle, that under
the hest eoverunouts, even ender a represteutstive
government, *Welt metros no* to be preferred to all
others, •• the ovum, particularly after a revolatsau,
is divided into two etas-es—the injurer, and the
injoied (lesson road kris/. The latter (for the
author &whims any concern with the vulgar) tie'
re,sarily belong to the select portion of society.
He then proceeds to obotreea how much social
oider he. brig) disturbed by the disaynointitient of
those persons, who. under may other PyfICIII it,,,,
theme in being, would halve attained exulted %HA
and fortune. and takes credit to himself fur der
cowering a remedy which has escaped the penetre.
tiro of legislators. who have seriously considered
the subject. He , has found out, that the art
of contracting debts and not paying them, is the
Duly mean for restoring the equilibrium betweeu
the lames and the leen. and for procuring the lat-
ter w suitable indemnification for the damage of
which they have to complain. It is generally ac-
knowledged that every body ought to have where.
withal to susisio life; and the ctinseqtrence imme-
diately deducible is, that persons belonging to the
select class, who cannot live at their own expense,
must live at the expense of other people. sod the
Government is more interested than may be inn-
;fined in countenancing their honed iidatitry. Fur
the individnel leaf of course takes his place upon
the opposition beach. la his eyes there is no gooJ
Government hut that under which he may go every
day to breakfast at Tortoni's and dine at Beauvii-
lire's ; and when be ere DO longer enjoy this ac-
quired right. his stomach cries out agasust
mon. The author calculates. that at the preeent
day there are not fewer than 100,000 prawn suf-
fering under oppression of this deseripttois. He
seems fully aware of the difficulties of the art which
be termites, from the care he lois taken to reduce the
number of his Wed clan. Hia chapter entitled ."
PI iv.
Decal Properties." excludes at least nine-tenth, of die
candidates; for he lays it down that youth, aa
principal requisite fur eserciaing the agreeable pre.
rennin' of a debtor. or homage roams it feat. who,
besides being young, must have it thirty-two very
white teeth. thick Well-grown earls, a calf to

physical qualities are, doubtless. very imposing;
taut will they obtain discount at the Brisk of

The author noticrii two ►orb of edeemion : the

(raid, by the ryes, which 1. sufficient foe the prat.
tier of his art.

The history of a justly celebrated hoc fewer has
furnished him with the subject of • very remark:
able chapter, which all who ore emote Vend ought
to read with the utmost attention. This person, who
revealed to Europe the great truth. that •• the more
one borrows, the greater is his credit," was named
Mureider. His father, a visionary writer,•itch es mail
of the prevent day, was, during the whole course
his hre, possessed with the ridiculous mania of givii.g
new charters to t he Swiss Cantons ; and he bequeath-
ed his arm no othe► property than about a dozen
Constitutions. But thanks to a well-concocted my..
tem of borrowing, the Welded Shneider found oat
the secret of living for ►ixly years in the enjoymetit
0r great wealth. It may be observed, by VW why,
that it is to him we owe the excellent Grapere
cheese. much to he p►eferred to all the
Cooana-
ttons which his lather ever put together.
We shall conclude with saying, that this work,
in which it is to he regretted there are sonic rather
extravagant plermantries, is an agreeable relief to
the ennui which we have too long suffered (rota
