Non Gioje is Il II ut all satisfied with the
Mus who kin ly agreed to finish Edwin
brood" Ii. says.
1t has lor q been known that an American
compo~itor was engaged in completing The
Mystery Edwin brood" under the direct
dictation Of the spirit of Charles Dickens
After Il labor of many months, during
which Il re amanuensis wrote in state Of
trance or an hour or two day. the work
has been at last finished. published alta place
called erattleboro. and noticed at some length
in the New York Times. The reviewer is
chiefly struck by the contrast between the
power of the corporal Charles Dickens and
the miserable incapacity of the spiritual
Charles Dickens lIe thinks it quite clear
that mems minds are by no means improved
hy being free from the body, and that thus
tire bad spelling and general i, ,norance OF the
citizens OF spirit land are fully accounted for.
In one of the choice extracts quoted from the
volume while in manuscript mention was
made of tradesman who used to open has
store" in Chancery lane at five o'clock in
the morning, 81 We mast conclude that de
parted Englislimen use the American Ian
guage, and that the man who Of all OF hers
knew London best has carried with hnn
very confused recollection Of its ways and
hours There is probably no country but tn e
United States in which such flight of i'm
pudence would have found a publisher but
it is fair to the publisher to add that the
pretensions Of the medium have been sup
ported and encouraged by hundreds of edu-
/ Gated people, who are, no doubt, pleased to
find in death leveller bringing down genius
to an equality with their own wisdom.
