Much as we owe to the invention of printing, its good is not entirely without alloy. From the facilities it presents to the rapid march of mind, books are multiplied as if by magic; but at the same time the sterling works of each successive age are thus, from the want of leisure to read them, rapidly displaced by literature of a lighter cast, whose aim it is "to play round the heart, but never reach the head." at least, of such writers, are "familiar in our mouths as houseTo divert in part the interest felt for such productions, it is inhold words;" and the information they convey, suited to all little, and the rising youth must know less, although the names, tended to publish, in a concentrated form, a series of standard English Authors, of whose works the present generation know has of necessity remained stationary, whilst modes of thinking times, places, and conditions of men, is clothed in language which and writing have insensibly changed. But though powerful in inind and rich in matter are the writers of England's proudest period, still they are all deficient in the one thing needful-brevity; and thus the very points on which they plumed themselves in their own days, have led to their present partial neglect. Ever more afraid of saying too little than too much, they have imposed on posterity the task of pruning luxuriances and removing blemishes, by the rejection of what is superfluous in matter and quaint in style; but not without the Satan in Search of a Wife!

The vast number of editions which have appeared, of the novels and others, demonstrates the strong and universal hold which such vivid exhibitions of life maintain on the curiosity, and, it might without exaggeration be added, on the affection, of readers of every age and every class; for not only is entertainment, in all without the bitterness and the danger of experience, that know. ledge of his fellow-creatures which, but for such aid, could, in he who reads them attentively may acquire, the majority of cases, only be attained at a time of life when it would be too late to turn it to account.
