favorable notice by the scholarke style in which they
couched and the gentleman-ke sentiments which
they conveyed Even his most uninp paragraphs

how very far their author above the commonplace

hghtened nation. As the of Robert Walsh,
Esq, whose talents writer are so universally adj
mted, Mr. w had no easy task to perform. and it may
be said with perfect Justice that he executed the duties
Of his station in all respects TO reflect credit on
himself and the distinguished literary community Of
which he was member. As Of the editors Of the

medium required by the country.
To the honest yeomanry Of the country and men of
all classes, we put these queries, viz
