PeriorIty no one could dispute, gave ban
free access TO all societies, aud caused him
to be well received every where. He was,

one SchiudIor, friend 0! his youth, who
had followed The sane studies almos; with
the sane success. VIVA. blessing was

motive Of which seemed 10 be 4 mutual con-

and examining events with attention, that
we can discover any dimina'lon OF their al
fiction FOR poor SCHNEIDER but by degrees
he faded from their memory. They now
