TIIE NEWSPAPER PRESS DIRECTORY characterises this
journal as the " Ablest" of the " Popular Papers." It says there
is no " Paper conducted with more talent or success," and that
"it is especially remarkable, not only for the great quantity of
news it affords, and the admirable arrangement of its matter,—well
illustrated by accompanying observations,—but for the ability and
variety of Its original articles, in the form of leaders and letters.
The advantage of this ability is enhanced by its being displayed on
other than mere political questions, so that the range of topics is
more large and generally interesting. Thus it is worth mentioning,
that it was the only paper which, during the late controversy Le-
tween the Press and the Bar, took up the case of the latter, in a
series of letters marked by great talent."
