RUSHs MEMORANDA OF A RESIDENCE
AT THE COURT OF LONDON,
The demand on our columns, occasioued bv m.
late press Of matter Of more immediate interest Ia.
prevented US, for some days. from again recurring To-
this agreeable work, we do now with great pleas
ure. Its pages bear satisfactory testimony that the
author is gifted with mauer-offact mind which we
consider most happy qualification in one under
taking to write for the popular eye in America, |
where things and not theories, almost exclusively
occupy public attention The legitimate object OF
literary criticism is to inform those who read, what
the book really contains and with reference to this
work, almost exclusively simple narrative Of
events, we know of no better method ofaccomplish-
ing that object than by extracting page here and
there, with few comments of our own. By-the-by,
if our brethren Of the press could be prevailed TO
follow this plan more frequently, authors would
have much less fair cause for complaint, and the
world would certainly be less egregiously humbug-
ged by new books than at present. As we have
previously remarked, Mr.. Rush was necessarily
thrown into intercourse with the arisocracy Of Eng
land only. This fact clothes his book with greater
