AS to its political opinions, although ds
infused with Toryism, to an extent the
zealou: partizan could desire, yet, SO witch
is its rhetoric and SO consistently uniform
it in its ant-republican oboquy, that, how.
er obnoxious is tenets,it is impossible for
reader to fail in being charmed BY the ps
sal Of its brilliant pages. The fact Of thisj
tinguished Magazine having, for a series
years maintained circulation in Great b
tain Of about 100000 prodigious and
equal circulation for that country, where
price is 81 80 year--will alone settle
question of its permanent merits. The sar
remark is equally applicable to this count
it is well known that its circulation, even
the United States, is already far above th
of any other work of its class, notwithslav
ing the unpalatable character Of its politics,
fact which can only be accounted for by
transcendent ability which characterzes
pages.
When we call to mind the names Of d
contributors to this sterling work, it ism

Sustained, then, as these distinguish
works are, and ever have been, by the hil
est order Of scholastic ability and political
gaeity, we need not be surprised to find th
occupying such a proud pre-eminence amc
the literary productions of the world, and
neglect Of their claims upon the conside
ton Of all classes of the intellle lent commu
ty, would necessarily argue a correspon |
Indifference to the great interests of the co
mon veal. But a spirit OF PHILOSOPHERS
quiry is abroad among the people, and to
honor Of the age may it be stated, that g
rance is no longer deemed misfortune,
fault, and assuredly the fault is not less

placed within our grasp--and however tr
also, may be the remark, it is not the
true, that the cultivation of literature bril-
its own reward--the neglect of it brings
punishment
