“The Character of the Indian,” though inadmissible, is not without
merit. In manner it is nearly faultless; in matter, too commonplace to
be either instructive or entertaining.
“F.” had better send his verses to “R.” in manuscript. She would
undoubtedly greet them with a hearty welcome.
“P.’s” poetry on Poland, though apparently somewhat in years, is filed
for insertion. The prolegomena, on account of their too great length,
are declined.
“Loose Thoughts on Smoking”--much too loose for publication. We find
no fault with the author’s habit, but think he had better smoke in
silence.
