Just as shodbe. The report that the member of Con

foundation; otherwise, FederalS he could and

WASHINGTON IRVING,

The London Times of the 5lh of December PAYS
the following compliment to the talents of one Of
our countrymen.
Under the quaint and somewhat vulgar title Of
!" Salmagundi.' the British public are now presen-
ted with many of the golden thoughts which flow
from the elegant pen Of MIR. Washington Irvngs
The happiest Efforts OF our own happIest writer's,
we believe do not excel the productions of this
transatlantic classic. In the choice of his subject,
whether humorous or pathetic, he possesses thc
most exquisite taste of any author in any age or
nation that we know. For purity of style he IS adj
milted to be unrivalIed and, perhaps il would not
be too great stretch of literary courtesy trans.
Ter to Mr.. Irving, the praise which DIR Johnson SO
literally allotted TO the language OF The Spectator.
i" He who would acquire an English sty!. and fami-
liar but not coarse, elegant but not osten,shous,
must give his days and nights to the VOLUMES Of
Addison"
