These repetitioaa eauWt well owe Iheir exiateace to mere efaance * © either arc ldatey to be attributed to any want of experienoe in the art of writing . It Li doubtless possible , ami examples from aucient aikd modern historians
pray be adduced in proef thereof , that , in tke narrative of any particular event , circumstances connected therewith may be accidentally twice alluded to ; but the question here to be asked , is , if wa are futiv warranted to
attribute to mere accident a series of repetitions not occurring in a few solitary instances only , but almost perpetually , and in some cases in so striking a manner , that , ef large portions , in which events are related
twice , one series may be veryconvem « ntly excluded without the smallest uyury , to the general narrative , —is it not far more natural in a case so manifest as the present is , to infer at once the existence of two distinct narratives of one and tke /* same occurrence ?
Nor can the repetitions in question be attributed to any inexpenence in the art of writing , tor they accint too frequentl y , and && &f too methodical

to admit of siieh aii origui . Fnom waat of due experience an author may not , perhaps , make the nioat suitable arrangements in individual portions of his work ; but is it not scwaaetihing
very unccftnmon to be suddenly interrupted in the midst of our investigation of any particular subject , for the purpose of being * made attentive to occurrences which the writer may have omitted in their proper places ,
although the sequel of his narrative shall perhaps be materially dependent on them ? Still , even granting that the inexperience here alludled to may be productive at times of repetitions , it cannot well be admitted a& the cause
of them in a narrative like the present , in which all the leading subjects are twice , ami thai , too , very methodically related . In both cases , the repetitions
exhibit a correct an-angea ^ n ^ agcb a very fair aaid natural succession of ideas . At times , their ctrder- - ^ precisely the same iaeach ; at otbertilites , it ia somewhat ; changed ^ cor ei ^ en
totally reversed ; but . on ? every oecttsion it will be found that In the uqpetitioa it is not onl y perfecdjr naituraly buU equally aa tsuitabk as m the original
