vain and pompous boast, made long ago in tEGy
war by the English, that Z" one English
was equal two Frenchmen" But now in Ii.
of the worlds truce, in both the arts OF war ano
peace, from the building of a steamship to oo4&S]

pride at home, and il.w, hatred, and thirre

one articc-how the probabilities and an,i.prcbs.

Tuckerman has n good article upon the poe,.
Tom Moore. He says Moore "most especially
deserves the title of accomplished. In the vale OF
cashmere he does not forget the mrror,' and
amid tho light of other days. his memory is busv ;
with the banquet hail." Moore says Of Bvro.-
