Prof. Quayle's "visit to the Saxonn
at the Opera House last Thursday
evening, was one of the richest treats
i'm the lecture line that lola has had
for long time. 1t would not be hard,
of course, to criticise 1t for a few faults
in manner or matter, but 1t Is much
easier and pleasanter to commend it
for Its many excellencies. 1t was full
of eloquence and pathos and wit, of
learning without pedantry, ofclose OBJ
servation without dull details, and 1t
was delivered in q rich and mellow
and flexible voice that was pleasant to
hear. All in all 1t was q fine lecture
and those who did not hear it lost q
treat.
