MIR. Everett's second paper, in the New
York Ledger, is on CHRISTMAS. 1t is quiet
and notwithstanding to please with
natural recollections and reAections--and
we'll written--but not to be compared with
Washington Irving's sketches Of Christmas.
After while, the critics will begin to say
that Mr.. Everett is not good Essayist. 1t
is quite likely that his miscellaneous produc.
tions in the Ledger will not equal those of
A ddison in the Spectator, or Irving's in
Bracebridge Hall. 1t would be wonderful,
indeed, if they did:--but, still, we venture
to cay, when collected, they will make a
volume, worth preserving, on account Of their
sentiments as we'll as their language and
style.
