The second volume is a perfect mine Of curios
ties of literature, and will not fail to be universaIl
read. Those letters referring to the disturbance
in the Colonies, will be of peculiar interest to N
American reader, while the notes SO liberally al,
parsed throughout, throw much light on many iu
Portant points, on WHICH history Is silsnt.
Altogether, these v5lupes may be considered 4
decisive Of the point at issue. We only regret M
bohn did not extend the work so as to have inclx
ded Sir Philips speeches and letters: there A
plenty OF materials at hand too, for better biosr,
ply Of him, than has hitherto been published, w
trust the deficiency may yet be supplied. W
would also suggest that in the event Of anothe
edition, the letters be arranged in a somewhat di
iefent manner, SO as to render them more easy .

those signed Juniua separate from his other svowe
episties. Each in its order should be preceded 5
the private note accompanying it to the printe
The index may also be considerably, and wit
advantage, extended. =. -
We should not forget to mention, as sipauls
coincidence. that the work is printed for Mr. Bob
by II. D. Woodfail, the grandson Of Francis friend
and printer Of the original letters, and who We
retains many of the manuscripts.
MIR. Bohn has added fresh laurel to those h
has already obtained, by the publication Of 80 man,
valuable works in his standard library, and deserve
well the reward he is reaping, as the fruit Of hi
enterprise. We have no scruple in prophesyiu,
that these two volumes of Junius, will be anon
the most popular be has published ..4ss !
