which none of the dullest dogs of our dull days could hope to equal even in this particular. Who has ever produced a work more pedantic and yet more pregnant with sound thought and beautiful allusion than Burton? His Anatomy of Melancholy is a perfect mass of pedantry, yet the genius of the author shines like a bright star through the night which would have obscured a luminary of less magnitude. On Jan. 15, 1830, he copied several extracts from Carlyle's article on Burns, in the Edinburgh Review. Vol. XLVIII. (December, 1828), pp. 267-312. Not knowing its author, he prefaced his extracts with a note, that in the number is a most elegant article on the life and character of Robert Burns, the Scotch poet. It is written with a great deal of force and beauty of imagery, and shows a masterly knowledge of the character it is describing. Sumner allowed himself but little recreation, much preferring his room and his books. He took no part in the sports of the Delta. Cards and

In 1857 they met, both in Paris and afterwards in London, and enjoyed greatly each other's society. Mr. Senior invited SBrougham is restless at table, writes letters; and, as Baron Parke assured me (Parke sits in the Privy Council), wrote his great article Ante p. 318. in the Edinburgh Review for April last at the table of the Privy Council. I once saw the usher bring to him a parcel of letters, probably from the mail,—I should think there must h

r David Brewster read me a portion of a letter just received from Napier, the editor of the Edinburgh Review, in which the latter complains of the difficulty of the subject, and says that an honest di to split; and yet I hope that we may get along. This refers to Brougham's articles in the Edinburgh Review. He is trying to push the Review further than its editor wishes to go. My last to you lritories, as have Lord Jeffrey's. Francis Jeffrey, 1773-1850; one of the founders of the Edinburgh Review, and one of its writers for nearly fifty years. He visited New York in 1813, where he marrinate in knowing as I have known,—ay, in knowing at their hearths—the three great men of the Edinburgh Review, —Smith, Brougham, and Jeffrey. But there is a fourth,—John A. Murray, the present Lord-Aductions. His article on Bacon is a masterpiece. Written in India, and published in the Edinburgh Review, July, 1837. I observed to Lord Jeffrey that I thought Carlyle had changed his style v
