But attachment TO the Union of the States should
be habitually fostered IN every American heart For
more than half a century, during which kingdoms
and empires have fallen, this Union has stood un
shaken. The patriots who formed it have long
since descended to the grave; yet still it remains,
the proudest monument TO their memory, and the
object of aficc ton and admiration with every one
worthy TO bear the American name In my judg-
ment, its dissolution would be the greatest of ca
lamites, and to avert that should be the study of
every American. Upon its preservation must de-
pend our own happiness and that of countless gem

Reception or the British Minister.

I Sir HENRY BULwER was presented to
the President by the Secretary of State,
on Monday, the Oath instant, at Q, p. m,
as the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of Great Britain The
Minister accompanied the delivery Of his
letter of credence with the subjoined re-
marks
SIR need not say that it gives me the sincerest
qualification to be the bearer of the credentials
which have just had the honor of placing in your
hands.
Permit me to say, that in coming to your coun-
try do not feel that come as foreigner to for
eign land our nations speak the same language /;
spring from the same race, and seem especially
entrusted, by Providence, with the same glorious
task OF illustrating the Anglosaxon name, by ex-
tending the best interests of civilization through
two great divisions of the world
l have an entire confidence, sir, that our two
governments will act with the most perfect concord
in carrying out this great design, and, for my own
part, / unfeignedly assure you that could not
have duty more congenial to my ieelingsthan
that of cultvating the most intimate and friendly
relations between the Queen, my Sovereign, and
that great Republic of which you are the worthy
and distinguished President
To these observations, the President re-
piled in the following terms:
Sin: l am much pleased to receive from your
hands the letter of her majesty, your Sovereign,
which accrcdits. you the Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenpotentiary fGreat Britain, near
the Government Of the United States, and cor
daily welcome you in that high character as a
friend.
Beyond the identity of origin, language, and du.
ties, 30 appropriately alluded to by you as connect
ing our respective countries, there is much sir in
their present relations calculated to impart unusual
interest TO your mission. That the best plans for
extending the blessings of peace, commerce and
civilization, may be executed by our perfect con-
cord, is my most earnest wish; and the confidence
you have expressed, that the two nations will act in
concert and harmony in all wise and well directed
efforts for the accomplishment of such objects, s
accepted by me in the cordial and sincere spirit in
which it has been proposed by you.
hope, sir, that your residence in this country
may prove as agreeable to you, personally, as you
have given me good reason for believing that it
will be honorable and advantageous both to Great
Britain and America.

History Of Spanish Literature. By GEORGE Tick
NOR. In three ooltunes. Harper 4 Brothers New

Mr. TIcKSoR has long been known TO the schol
airs of the country, for his familiar acquaintance
with the literature of modern Europe The work
before US is the result of studies pursued for the last
thirty years, with every facility for their successful
indulgence Mr TIcKNoR is man of wealth and
literary tastes and habits. He was for several
years Professor of the modern languages in Harvard
College, where he ectured very agreeably ON
French and Spanish literature, and ON the old
English drama.
Mr.. TIcKSoR travelled through a large portion of
Spain, and spent several months in Madrid There
he read the early Castilian poetry with Don Jose
Antonio Condo, retired scholar, rarely occupied
with events of later date than the times of the
Spanish Arabs, whose history he afterwards wrote.
With his assistance Mr.. TIcKNoR commenced
the collection of his valuable Spanish library.
which has since been increased, through the facil
ties afforded by MIR. A. H. EVERETT and Mr.
wAsHrNGToN IRvINe, during their respective res
dences in Spain. To Mr. o. Rich, formerly a
consul Of the United States in Spain, and TO Don
PAscUAL DE GAyANeos, Professor of Arabic i'm the
University of Madrid Mr.. TIcKNoR also ac-
knowledges his Indebtedness for similar assistance
The interval between 1885 and 1888, Mr. TrcKNoR
passed in Europe, consulting the. best private and
public collections in the preparation OF his work
TO which he has devoted the "lucubrations ]" not of
twenty" but of more than thirty years.
The result is one of those literary monuments
that destined to stand OF its class il is a mas
