The past is so great in extent, and so full of diversities of maimers and of landscapes, that there are some who prefer its many mansions to the narrow present, its silence and cool to our heat and noise ; and who are more at home in their Grandfathers' time, or in that of Ciesar, of Ilbamses, or of Sennacherib, than in a world of penny papers, telegraphs and lawn-tennis. Yet these investigators know nothintj certainly when it ernes to a comparison of our living day with days that tire all equally dead, be they those of Confucius or Dr. Johnson.—'Saturday Eeview.'
