    We had intended , but have not room , to introduce the beautiful examples adduced by the author , in explanation of what he

    calls Rational Mysticism . We demur to the inconsistency of these typical uses with historical verity ; at the same time that we think his suggestions well worthy the attention of free and inquiring minds .

    ^ The following letter appeared in a French dress , with some omissions T and alterations , ahout a year and a half ago , in * Le Globe , ' the journal » of the political and religious sect of Saint-Simonians . It was intended to Ije the introduction to a series of letters , principally relating to the moral and social condition of Great Britain . In consequence of the discontinuance of the journal to which it was addressed , the design was never prosecuted . The original of tfoe only letter which appeared has been communicated to us , and as it contains remarks which , though addressed to Frenchmen , concern Englishmen , and draws a parallel between the intellectual biasses of the two nations , which is

    at least not common-place , and is drawn ( as we can certify ) from nearly equal familiarity with the literature and politics of both , we offer it to our readers . In doing so we are requested to state , by way of apology for its somewhat egotistical style , that ( although the observation may sound epigrammatic ) the tone of French composition is naturally egotistical , and it is hardly possible not , after much mixing with Frenchmen , to assume the externals of egotism in discussing with them , whether orally or in writing .

    4 You ask me to correspond occasionally with the editor of the ( i Globe" on those subjects on which an Englishman , well acquainted with your doctrines , has more to tell of what you would desire to know than is attainable by any Frenchman . I accept your proposal . The idea had already occurred to myself ; and the honour which you have spontaneously tendered to me , I should probably sooner or later have solicited as a favour to myself .

    * But before I commence , it is due both to myself and to those for whom this correspondence is intended , that I should state somewhat more fully than I have yet done , even to yourself individually , the motives and views with which I undertake it . I do so the more readily , as this is in itself no unimportant element of that knowledge which you have done me the honour to suppose that the readers of the 41 Globe" may be able to derive from my letters . To a St . Simonian who desires to know England , it cannot be indifferent to learn what are the inducements which may lead an Englishman , himself no St . Simonian , and agreeing with the St . Simonians though partially on Valmost all points , entirely perhaps on iione , to place himself in communication with the St . Simonian Society . 4 You will imagine , perhaps , that the motive is a desire to do my part towards what you are labouring for with so much success , namely , to enable two nations , each of which possesses so many of
