Mr. William H. Seward demands our admiration. His "God bless you, Hunter," and "Remember me to my old friends in the South," are exquisite. We had supposed that Mr. Chester, in "Barnaby Rudge," was a caricature, but we must acquit Mr. Dickens of all exaggeration. His polished masterpiece of courteous craft and malignity must hide its diminished head by the side of W. H. Seward. It were worth years of ordinary sightseeing to have witnessed that interview.
