Several of the dialogues in this volume afford
highly successful representations of the Yankee
yernacuar, but their pith would BE- greatly dam
aged by taking them out of their surroundings
This, Indeed, is true of the whole book. The

takes no unusual pains with separate passages,
preferrng TO win favor BY the general IN
preston OF his narrative, rather than to excite
astonishment by splendid claptraps.
