wrong; now they are quite satisfied they are right; nor can they
easily be undeceived, because, when about to examine their hearts
and their conduct, the error in their views directs their efforts
to a false standard."

We think we cannot more appropriately close the faint outline, in which
we have endeavoured, however feebly, to shadow forth the merit of these
volumes, than by placing before our readers the tribute to departed
excellence, which this touching and finished picture is intended to
convey.

"Leaving the contemplation of feverish excitement, fantastic and
