of the Nineteenth Century appropriate sequel to
his Compendium The author ha' shown the sans
just and delicate appreciation of literary excellence
in this as in tho former volume; and, il reaches
down to our times it will be et interesting to
largo portion of the public, and especially to the
young. Few persons can understand what an amount
of reading, thought nice discrimination, and labori
densaton of knowledge, are requisite to the
