better the existence of the empty niche, or the tolasid44-
tion due to those who honestly strive to fill it, than Ifie
Evening Post's principal editors. The one a poet of exalted
position, the other a laborious and scholarly historian—
the ono of venerable years, the other well on in manhood's
prime, none should know better than they, with their
culture and their experience, how injurious to American
letters and society have been crude and imperfect criti-
cisms, hasty and cruel literary judgments, heated and in-
temperate political animosities, and many other evils which
we have essayed in our humble way to remedy and
assuage. Undoubtedly we may at times have made mistakes.
All are liable to err. Bat our errors, whatever they may

altogether follow European examples. We must bo
governed by our own will, sagacity, and enterprise such
as they are. We must be our own pilot, and guide the
helm by our own star. The track is certainly not with-
out its perils, but we have a great deal of, we hope suffi-
ciently modest, self-reliance. No week passes but that we are
striving and devising to make the Round Table a better and
stronger publication than it is. In this the public is
generously aiding us, and we trust will continue so to do ;
and, while we shall always be glad of appreciation aryl
friendly recognition from the cotemporary press, we aro
well aware that it is to the public and not to newspapers,
however excellent and influential, that we must look for
the substantial assurance of our future.

Comparisons, as Dogberry meant to say, are odious.
We should certainly not have thought of originating a
discussion founded upon so objectionable a basis. As the
case stands, however, we may perhaps be pardoned for
humbly expressing an opinion— an opinion which there
is no impropriety in prefacing Uy the statement that, as the
present writer has contributed largely to at least two un-
questionably leading presses in both Now York and
London, ho thinks himself fairly qualified to form and
entitled to express it. f, then, the first-rate press of
London is to be regarded as the ideal or standard of ex-
cellence, we deliberately affirm that, whether in point of
paper, types, or the brains wherewith they are used, the
Round Table is to• day nearer the mark of the leading
English weeklies than any newspaper in New York is to
the mark of the best English dailies; and we have not the
slightest doubt whatever that any educated and unpre-
judiced person who shall carefully make the comparison
will endorse this affirmation as a candid, unvarnished, and
irrefragable truth.—The Round Table.
