Capt. Marryat's Gross PIag giarism-Letter
from NIr. Kendall.
Our friend sof the New-O Orleans Picdyune ex-
poses small portion Of the atrocous larcenics by
which Capt. Marryat has fabricated his pretend
ed Travels Of Monsieur Violet'-a work in the
manufacture of which we understand the Captain
has also laid Farnhan, Lewis and Clark, and al
most every writer on our Western Prairie and VII
derness, under heavy contribution. It's only while
conducting his hero through Western Texas and
the Camanche and Caygua country that Marry
at has drawn upon the original sketches in the
Picayune-thc gross humbug, so far as it peaches
upon his manor, is thus effectively demolished by
MIR. Kendall, in letter to the Editor of the
Courier:
