tor in London. How novel the whole method would be to New England readers may be inferred from the fact that even the Harvard library had no copies of Addison or Steele at this period. Swift, Pope, Prior, and Dryden would also have been looked for in vain. Milton himself was little known in the stronghold of Puritanism. But the printing office of James Franklin had Shakespeare, Milton, Addison, Steele, Cowley, Butler's Hudibras, and The Tail of the Tub The spelling of the Courant. on its shelves. All these were read and used in the editor's office, but The Spectator and its kind became the actual model for the new journalism. As a result, the vectator, Franklin's importations, listed in the Gazette for sale, included works of Bacon, Dryden, Locke, Milton, Otway, Pope, Prior, Swift, Rowe, Defoe, Addison, Steele, Arbuthnot, Congreve, Rabelais, Seneca, Ovid, and various novels, all before 1740. The first catalogue of his Library Company shows substantially the same list,

In reality, however, Dennie was as fond of conviviality as Steele, and as elegant in dress as Goldsmith. His literary pose had little in common with his actual habits of composition, as described by a former printer's devil of a menace to navigation, the Collect was not all filled up, and the tolls levied at Kissing Bridge formed a standing jest. In such an environment the tradition of Steele and Goldsmith culminated not unworthily with Salmagundi, a buoyant series of papers ridiculing the follies of 1807. Thereafter imitation of Addison could no furttidious Joseph Dennie in Launcelot Langstaff. Aunt Charity, who died of a Frenchman, was apparently a joint production. The two writers might have acquired from Steele and his successors the art of drawing crotchety characters, if not the fondness for detecting them, but the inevitable urban setting of the British essays afforde

He looked like he was a little in liquor, but did not stagger; he did not look very excited; witness was absent a short time looking for a policeman.

Richard Steele, deposed: McCarthy was at my house on Thursday evening, about 7 o'clock; didn't speak much; asked for a pipe, pulled out a knife he had in a belt around him, (knife shown;) that looks like it; he cut some tobacco with it; then took it in his hand, and said to a young man, "How would you like to feel it," or something of that kind; witness told him to put the knife up, and he did so, and went out; half hour or so after heard he had killed his wife.

hey had been engaged in running off a negro woman, formerly belonging to Mr. Richardson. The Mayor continued the examination till Wednesday next, and committed the prisoners to jail for safekeeping. The charge against a white man, named Richard Steele, of receiving one bag of government corn, knowing the same to have been stolen, was continued till Monday, to enable S. to obtain a witness to prove that the corn had been left in his passage without his knowledge, and that he only took it into his store to keep till he could ascertain whose it was. Two negro men employed at the Haxall flour mills were arraigned on the charge of stealing government corn and carrying it to the store of Richard Steele. At the conclusion of the testimony, the Mayor ordered them to "hug the widow" till the officer whose duty it is to do so, touched them up to the tune of "thirty-nine." A dose of the same character was ordered to be given Montgomery, slave of Philip K. White, for having in his

eming improbable, although Little told it with the utmost candor, His Honor turned the further examination of the case over to the February term of the Hustings Court, and remanded the prisoner to prison. Witnesses appeared to prove that Richard Steele, charged with receiving Government corn, knowing it to have been stolen, had no knowledge of where it came from, and that he only transferred it from his passage to his store till he could find out who it belonged to. When asked if the corn was for sale, Steele told one of them that it was not — it had been placed in his house by some one without his knowledge or consent, and he had no right to dispose of it. He was therefore discharged. Martin Quinlan was fined $20 for selling ardent spirits in his house without a license, and required to give $250 security to keep the peace towards Patrick Behan, (whom he had struck,) and all other persons, and good behavior generally for twelve months.
