Critical notice Of Blackpood's Magazine. from
the U. s. Lit. Gaz. for May, 1925.
"This journal is now remarkable for nothing but
ultra toryism and scurry. About six months
since there appeared in it sort Of chronicle of Anne
rican writer's, arranged alphabetically this has been
concluded. We were at first surprised at the dis
play of personal acquaintance with our writers !;
though the notices were generally abusive, we were
astonshed that our friends over the water should
have noticed Us a, ALL There Yves something enig
NAUTICAL in the whole affair, for, though there were
many mistakes, they we're not such as stranger
would be likely to commit The writer appeared
to have too much knowledge OF some things, TO be
so ignorant of others and often seemed to lie rather
than blunder. He has not, however, had tho wit to
keep his own secret. In late number he has COM
pletely destroyed all effect OF his structures. good or

He does, indeed deny this and certainly. he is as
likely as any body to know the truth II We erred
in formerly publishing this, we make the amende
honorable. by giving equal publicity TO his denial
and by admitting that. If true, the thing was as
much his misfortune as his fault. We understand
that Neal has talents. and might, ii he had

The Westminster Review, a work of acknowiedg
cd ability in speaking Of some Travels in the Uni
ted States Of America, takes occasion TO make the
following observations, the truth Of which will not
be questioncd
"America possesses stronger hold than ever on
the hopes and affections of those who desire the i'm
provement of the general condition Of man."

Judge .Mar&tall's reported History. Our read
ers may recoec, that we, among others have given
credence and currency TO report which originated
either in the Philadelphia or New York newspapers
that the upright and learned Chief Justice OF the
United States was engaged in the composition OF
History OF the United States from the commence
ment OF this government TO the termination OF the
Washington Administration Further rejection,
and the observations of others, having induced us
10 question the truth of this report. we have taken
pains to put an end TO doubt upon the subject. We
are now enabled to state, that the report is entirely
without foundation. When indeed we reflect for
an instant on tho subject, it is apparent that the
Life of Washington by Judge MARSHALL, IS sub
stantiay History of his country while he was at
the head Of her armies, or OF her counsels; and
tina. two works on the same subject could hardly be
expected from the same pen, particularly when the
copiousness OF the one already in existence is con
sidcred.
We learn, however, with pleasure, that the Judge
is engaged in revising his Lille of Washington, with
view TO on improvement OF the style OF some
passages, and an abridgement OF the mlnuteness OF
its detais--to make il more satisfactory TO his ma
tured mind, and Of course more acceptable to the
Public and more valuable to posterity. This IT is
