would be of interest to the learned world, and it is to be hoped that the contributor will soon afford it. This same gentleman, growing very eloquent over his subject, remarks that "one might infer, from the absence of an elective in historical German, that there was no literature worthy of study anterior to the eighteenth century"; a statement which seems to show that he supposes that the average man, whom I suppose to be designated by the word "one," is ignorant of the existence, not only of the classics of ancient and mediaeval Europe, but also of the Bible...

Now Smudge is not an elegant man. His clothes were certainly not made by Poole, and I don't think his hat ever saw London, or, if it did, it has certainly been on this side of the water long enough to make good a claim for naturalization; but though his clothes are far from...
