ANY one desirous of examining further into the
politieks of the Gentlemen Reuiewers, may find suf-
cent matter for consideration by turning to page 449

NTH the dcsessa5le epithet Of JacoJhnek 90 Those
who viii put themselves to the trouble Of perusng it,
will find the chief and almost only accusation brought
against the Grafton, is that they speak disrespect-
fully of the old revolutionary Tores--high DANGER

They (Gentemen Reviewers) highly reproach and
kecnly satrize Mr. Cogswell for arguing Gas they
ironically observc) against "that absurd and spid
form Of government, commonly kno.vn and erecrated
by the name Of Monarchy "-but when Mr.. Samp-
son speaks of +" the blackest of satan's empire the
tories of revolution, the rage Of the Gentlemen
Reviewers becomes unbounded! They break forth
in such laundering peals of wrath and curses, as
cannot but astonish us, from the drumnaors of
Federalism

Then these vile advocates of monarchy and tory

appeals to God and IIeayen!.!
How tar the preceding quotations will add to the
beauty and lustre of an impartial Review, edited by
the supreme Literai of the Cis-.qsiansick" world
and containing "the sound literature Of .NsD-E
iand,' the publick will best determine.
But We arc thoroughly Disguised with "such
bitterness, such a rGnkhns makgnity Of TEMPER" as
these last six pages of the .4hsiegy we have
ed contain, and will turn tom tho lingering and
asnaiy erasperasiag tortrs mder rvhich om' Gentle

an article Of later date we will bid the aforesaid Cen
siemen Reviewers, most loving farewell
We ailude to their structures Grafton dcliv-
cred before the .Nspors Eyclrpedan Society, July 4,
1908, by ]. b. Peirce. They may be found in the
.7nthoiogy for Feb. 1909.
This Society was originated, not long since, by a
number Of respectable young men, for the laudable
purpose of lending helping hand as far as lay in
their power, to the cause of Morale, Literature and
UAEl Kso ssiye.
From personal acquaintance with Mr. Peirce, and
many other deserving members of the Association
the writer Of this feels small share Of satisfaction
in tho present attempt
The frsf quorreP' of the Cexfle Reviewers is with
the name ofthe society probably because they could
not determine liz Etymology
