The boundless expansion and versatility OF
intellect that illuminate the writings OF
Madame de Stael and Miss Porter, have
filled Europe and America with admiration
and the erudite and splendid productions OF
Miss Edgeworth, have enriched English lit
crature, with as pure and sparkling an ore
as philosophy conld raise out OF an mex


haustibe mine, that is alive to the various
sympathies and feelings that govern and d.
rect the passions of humanity. In the WORKS
of Lady Morgan we find every subject ar
rayed in the seducing charms OF sentiment
al sorcery, and rendered still more attract


i've by the graceful drapery OF tiowery dic-
ton. In the romantic enthusiasm OF patriot
ism-in the passion of energy that dlstln-
guish her vindication of her country; IN the
magnificence OF style, and in the VIVID por-
traiture of Irish character, she is emineneiy


superior to Miss Edgeworth. On reading
| her .HQiy' we are astonshcd ny the pr'eht
efYulgence of her views, the power OF her &c,
scrintions. and the philosophic musings and
apt conceptions, which pervade the pages o'
| fiat celebrated work-a work which, while
il 6lled the sceptered despots OF the "Holy
Alliance with terror, drew torth from
| T ord Bvrop. the memorable and laudatory
compliment, which our fair country women
prize more highly than all the imperial com
mendations which the Cesars and Czars
could bestow upon their aduating favor
lites.. We compassionate the tasteless crit
ic who is not delighted with the beauty O
her style, and the glow of her sentiments


when she touches the affections and passions


of the human heart; as, like Goethe and KOS


Sc seau, m her pages are fronght with that spiri


of impassioned eloquence, which lmpresse'


upon her composition the seal of rapturou


cnchansment, and enlarges our ideas. ant


liberalizcs our mind, while it strengthen


those bonds of philanthrophy that bind us u


our fellow-creatures. The power OF woman


in this literary age. is become as potent iron
intellectual influence as she was tormerl.
