HON. HENRY S. FoOrE has eontribu-
ted an article of singular merit to the
| September number of the Inland
Monthly magazine, of st. Louis. Pre-
fixed to the article are the three memoir
able names Aristotle, Bolingbroke, JEFF
ferson, and the disquisiti0n that fol-
lows is the most fortunate perhaps of
Mr.. Foote'S literary productions. No
one denies Mr.. Foote'S force, learning,
powers of sarcasm, and infinite volu-
bility. The paper to which we refer,
contributed to the excellent magazine,
is the best Of Mr.. Foote's literary pro-
auctions of this character. 1t IS pre-
pared without seeming effort, and is not
over-burdened with historical ilustra-
tions and classical illusions to which
the ~loquacious MI. Foote was formerly
SO much addicted. The Inland Month
IN is published and edited by Charlotte
