THE TRIBUNE E.
Etterarp Notices.


This book is the sequel to Mr.. TESTERS Glory
and Shame of England developing more fully its
prominent points, and repeating the opinions there
in advanced concerning the past prosperity, the
present misery and the approaching downfall OF
Gres, Britain. It contains nothing new, and but
little that possesses much interest Facts nave
been diligently gathered and marshaled with skill /;
but the evident purpose has been TO sustain posi-
lions 10 which the author had previously com nit
ted himself, rather than to ascertain and present
candidly and fairly the honest truth. The whole
work is written IN the same spirit, and seeks solely
the same general end. Should any foreigner travel
through the United States, and, in his book, evnce
the same spirit of hate TO oar institutions and our
very name, marsha! figures with the same per-
verse intentions, and proceed so deliberately, and
with such disregard of counterbaancing truths, to
blacken our character and consign US to prophetic
infamy, his would awaken through the land
an execrating shout whose echoes would not die
for a tweivemon,ll. Yet who does not know that
materials for such work are most plentiful and
scarcely to be overlooked? Mr. LESTER gives
single chapter only to reply to the anonymous
volume assailiug his former work. 1t is written
in very violent passion, and contains nothing cal
culated to make special impression upon any one.
An appendix of half dozen pages contains
very weak, and withal excessively abusive: attack
upon Bishop DoANE, founded upon his pamphlet
entitled Impressions of the Church Of England.
1t displays much more partizan zeal than personal
courtesy Or Christian charity. The reverend al-
thor seems to have laid aside his surpce and holy
yestmeuts, and clad himself in the garb of the
fsh-market, for his crusade in defence of the
Church. He speaks hippanty of the Bishops
trucking spirit, his bigotry;' apostrophises him
as false hearted American An unworthy
priest;' and expresses his astonshment how he
could thus coolly record his own shame, his false
hood to his country and his puerile servihy to the
prelates who aattered him. There is q sad lack
of deccncy in all this
The book contains many extracts from English
papers and from other works: it bears upon its
face the mark of having been made to sell still
there is, beyond all doubt much in it that is true
and vitality important. Matters of fact which are
brought forward deeply interesting and instruct
i've. The style is also strong and vigorous-as was
that of the Glory and Shame of England, but
the work will not excite public attention to such
degree as did that upon its first appearance, for the
subject is now somewhat old nor do we believe
there exists among our people any streng dispesi'
ton TO yihfy and abuse the institutions of England,
or to sympathise with those who find especial de-
light in the ungrateful task. They are defective
enough, no doubt, bur it were better employ our
time in amending our own errors than in blazonlng
those of others.
