more than an average share of those good qualities,
and its table of contents exhibits a rich admixture of
lively and pathetic, of grave and gay. A consider-
able portion of the prose is devoted to what may
be called, for lack of a better name, foreign politics,
opening with an able paper on " The War," and
including interesting articles on " The West Indies,"
American Ambition and Europe's Dilemma," and
capital one on " The Protestant Refugees of
