NORTH AMERICAN REvrBw.-The July
No. of this periodical reached us by mail on
Thursday.o We carr only notice this week
the table Of "conteAts,' in which, however,
the character Of the work will be apparent.
Speaking OF the character Of this work is
1t not surprising that a word on this subject
should be needed in any part of the United
Statesl Is it not Surprising that a people so
pnyeloped in the mantle of national colwe-
ulence as are Americans, should suffer t 9
only periodical capable of houoring their name
in letters, to rcceivesa meagre and penurious
support? Is it not surprising that this work,
to which the English language can furnish
hut one rival, should meet a higher estimate
abroad than it finds 1t horne that while i. is
eagerly sought for by French and English
and sold IN large numbers in Paris and Lon
don, it is found ONLY in the libraries Of the
few in the L. States ! Let the young me
cllaanic and farmer, who pride themselves on
the institutions and productions OF their coun-
try, relectthE- it Il Shy works of this class alone,
that those institutions and productions are
Justly and discreetlN appreciated. Character
and caaacitv here meet a candid and enlight-
ened criticism the. gold is here separated
from tie dross, the wheat from the chatfr and
all that is pure and worthy in literature Gus
toms and institutions, brought out I'd the pub
lie eve. We venture the remark without
fear Of contradiction, that there is not
one citizen of the United States (~unless he
belong to the high literary ~circles) prepared
70 ~eyp,ess a comprehensive and judlcious
o~n;nion on Americas literature and manners,
who does not regularly read the North Ameri-
can Review and futther, we will say. that the
younr MECHANIC or farmer who peruses rcgu-
larlv and attentfYelF the pages Of this work,
will find himself as. we'll qualified land often
far be,ter) TO ~criticiss both domestic az,d foreign
literature and CHARACTER, as will he who has
resided from ~"youtfs up" within the precincts
OF Harvard or Iale,<
How important then, that this publication,
so cheap and so conlenient, should be in the
hands of all young Americans, a portion of
whose time is devoted to labor! The articles
ire all from pens sht n7st remarkable i'll the
anon for chaste sn~d:vigorous style; from men
whose happy lot it is to traffic only in that
which purities and ~refneF, and whose lives
might be held up to eheir fellow men as bright
examples Of human virtue and untiring devo-
ton to the veal Of tie whole human family.
