feeling . Let those , however , by whom , if they at all examine and understand their own natures , the inaptitude must be felt , be exhorted not to meddle and tamper witn uncongenial truths , nor attempt to reach the forbidden fruit of dramatic power ,
whose taste , well understood , leads to the deepest recesses of the heart , and the most profound and unexclusive Knowledge . Sundry expressions and sentences of an unceremonious nature , which the spirit of the cause impelled us to write , have been suffered to remain here , but nothing personal , except as relates to that cause , was intended . We have also to qualify the sweeping position with which we commenced , concerning tne antagonism
of the London Review with the Fine Arts generally , by expressing our admiration of the masterly criticisms on Music , under the signature of M . S . O . It will be but small and inadequate praise to observe , that the writer is the first of the time on that subject . Here the public derive a sensible advantage from the correct application of powers and acquirements . If the writer of the sound and acute article on " Prose Fictions and their

We have read with mingled feelings of * pain and astonishment the leading article in I he Hx a miner of the 20 th of the past month , on the proposed reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty . Incredible as it may appear , that paper calls upon
the people of England to accept with thanks , as an invaluable boon , the oiler of a penny stamp duty , although far , very far , from being such a measure as the public interest requires , and as the public voice lias loudly demanded . Is it possible that this can be the counsel of so enlightened and strenuous a friend to popuhu- rights' } Accept with gratitude , at the eleventh hour , after a struggle more severe than any in which the people have been engaged since the passing of the
Manifesto
