We have here grouped together d; number
Of essays upon American subjects, which were
published in England Mt rarious periods Of
the rebellion. The author Is gentleman of
culture and ability; and, although On
Euglishman BY birth and feeling, Is singulaf]y
free from English pre)udices- He resided for
u number Of yenrs In the United States,
and discusses American questions with can
dor and .thorouehnsss worthy Of all praise.
And while many of the topics embraced In.
these volumes have ceascd to excite discus
sion, md all Of them hare lost the charm OF

They present the Views OF writer whose love
of liberty IS not confined to the country of
his birth; md who was one of the number,

est and working friends Of our Government in
England during the long struggle. ,.gs.. 90,
The volume .arst above named was pub
1lshed in 1860, Immediately after the nomlna~
tion Of Abraham Lincoln. Tt Is dedicated to
Lord Brougham; the long-trfed, pcrseverlng.
and faithful friend Of his country and man
kind" Cnhappily, The veteran statesman
has since impaired his right to the latter part
of this description. The volume commences
with brief history Of slavery In the United
States, and then gives comparative state
mcnt OF the wealth, population and progress
Of the free aud slave States respectively, sim
liar to that In He!per's It Impending Crisis"
Following this Is condemned hut admirable
account of the encronchmclts Of slavery, the
Missouri Compromise, the annexation Of
Texas, Fugitive Slave INV, the struggle in
Kansas, &c.-toptes familiar enough to Amer
leans, but Of which, five years ago, most Eng
\ lshmen were dep1orablJ ignorant. In closing
his account Of the Kansas troubles, the author
| writes us follows:
