Il n The appearance; of the huadredh, number Of
this Review, rs a sufficient proof Of the emf
nent standing 1t has acquired with the public.
Since the commencement Of its career how
many kindred publications ,hnve, sprung into
being, and after d few, years, or even months,
of precarious growth, vainly endeayoring to
secure permanent hold Of the public favor,
have sunk into a. premature decay and final
oblivion sans eyes, sans teeth, sans every
thing In the mean time, the North American,
originally established by that ripe scholar and
elegant writer, the lamented Tudor, and con-
tinued by succession of accomplished editors,
has weathered every gale, and IS now in as
gallant trim as ever, speeding on its, course,
richly treighted, and ably manned. May the
noble ship Ito continue, our nautical figure
never meet with head flaw, or run into 'shoal
water, but long continue to spbserve the cause
of letters by steadily pursuing the old track Of
learned and Independent criticism. 7'' |" .',,,

leading articles, together with several short
critical notices of. recent publications. Some
