Through the kind attention Of the author and trans
lator our book-tabe has lately been graced with the
I'd edition Of the "Gory and Shame of England, y
and the I'd edition Of 'sThe Condition and Fate OF
England" both of which are published by Henry
9. Langley, New York, and, our readers proba-
bly, know. are from the pen of Edward C. Lester,
esq; and also with second copies of 1.-THE Florenne
lated from the Italian by the same gentleman, and
published by Paine and Burgess, Of New York city.
We have heretofore had occasion to thank Mr..
Lester for the real service he has performed for the
lovers Of standard literature in America in thus in
Producing to them two of the most interesting books
IN the Italian language. His original works, THE
Glory and Shame" and "Condition and Fate of
England, are too well known to the American read
Ing public to require particular notice from us.
They endorse him as strong thinker, a careful
observer, a political economist of much ability, a
graceful writer, and aripe scholer They show,
at glance, the yawning gulf over which the gov
eminent and aristocratic institutions of Britain now
hang suspended; and afford ready key, explain
ing why the London Times, and other transatlantic
newspapers, supported by the aristocracy Of Eu-
rope, labor 80 necessarily to disparage the people
and institutions Of the United States. II the sub
jects Of England and continental Europe were per-
mitted thoroughly to understand and appreciate the
from the theory and practice Of our government,
situated Mr. Lester shows them TO be, all the
bayonets Of the world could not repress their efforts
to obtain civil and religious liberty.
We have, to this moment, failed TO receive our
copy of the democratic Review" for the present
month. May we again ask its conductors to for
ward it direct to this Office, soon as il issues from
their own We have had a glimpse Of the October
number; and its contents are very striking. Il IL
embellished with beautiful engraving of capital
likeness Of Cave Johnson, ESQ.,, the Postmaster
General. It's marked by all the calmness, digni.
ty, and good humor Of the esteemed original The
engraving is one of the best we have seen in the
"Review." There is no biographical sketch to ac-
company il Of the original. His own modesty re-
fused in all probability, to furnish the necessary
materials. If he should discharge his present ard1.
Gus duties with triumphant success, as those ac-
quainted with his industry and energy confidently
predict, there will not be wanting some competent
pen to write the sketch, at the end of four years
