".7igsrnon Sydney. have received a
copy of very neatly printed pamphlet. lust
issued from the press Of Mr.. T. ". White Of
Richmond, entitled, The Letters of Alaer-
non Sydney, in defence of Civil Liberty, and a
gainsl the encroarhmen,s of Military Despo-
| tism, written by an emineut citizen of Virginia
and first published in the Richmond Enquirer
10 1913 -l9," &c. &c. with an Introduction,
/ by the Publisher. These letters are spen-
ddly written, and on subject which can never
cease to be deeply interesting to the Ameri
can people. so long as they are capable of APP
precisting the blessings Of liberty. Their au
thor, (Bsfy. ". Leigh, Esp has revised and
corrected them aud we earnestly recommend
the pamphlet 10 the public patronage We
quote the following from the eloquent Intro
ductlon ofthe Publisher;
alt may be asked why send forth these letters
at this late period, when the occasion which
originally produced them has passed sway
and the individual whose conduct they so elo
quently arragned, has not only been tried al
the bar of public opinion and acquitted, but has
actually received The highest reward IN tue Z III
ofthe American people. 10 this il may be re
piled in the first place that Truth is eternal ana
Interchangeable, and though FOR a time II may be
dsspised ,-Irodden down aud vanquished, II is
contrary TO the Dirine Justice TO suppose II can
ever be finally annihIiated. In other ages and
countries il has survived lnnunerable perils -
defed the combinations of fraud aud Iyr amy
the terrors of the rack and gibbet, aud has e.
ven tIumpbed over the flames and fortunes
of the lnquisition. II is unreasonable there fore
TO iiDag ine that in this free country and al this
enlightened day il can sink the victim of a
momentary popular deluslon. Error and Crime
through all their arlfuI sguises,--by whate-
yer names miscalled, are still error and crime
Meth r brilliant succes--nor prosperous for
tune, can sanctlly or redeem them.
In the second place, the letters Of" Algernon
Sydney like those Of the Immortal Junins
do no, exclusively depend for their excellence
upon the particular transactions they record
Like those OF the great English unknown, they
will be preserved as specimen, of noble simpl
city in style-as well as powerful aud unan
sweraJle reasoning. They deserve to be con
sidered as chaSte models in dicton, which III,
rising generations will delight TO study, anC
which If successfully initiated will teach then
to shun the Astounding errors oil false ornament
and extravaganza. The Publisher would b,
restrained by IA sense oil his own Incompetence,
alone from praising these admirable produc
. tons as they deserve. Fortunately for him
