Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Some three months since we had occasion to express our high admiration of Lieutenant Slidell's American in England.

The work now before us presents to the eye of the critical reader many if not all of those peculiarities which distinguished its predecessor.

We find the same force and freedom. We recognize the same artist-like way of depicting persons, scenery, or manners, by a succession of minute and well-managed details.

We perceive also the same terseness and originality of expression.

Still we must be pardoned for saying that many of the same niaiseries are also apparent, and most especially an abundance of very bad grammar and a superabundance of gross errors in syntactical arrangement.<br><br>With the Dedicatory Letter prefixed to Spain Revisited, we have no patience whatever.

It does great credit to the kind and gentlemanly feelings of Lieutenant Slidell, but it forms no inconsiderable drawback upon our previously entertained opinions of his good taste.
