csristian Register, published at Boston, notice
,fEitchcock's "Vindication of Russia and the
sn,.ror Nicholas earnestly" recommending
i. For, ia the midst of the inconsruites and con-
faGoas Of this age, there has appeared in Repus-
6c.n Boston vindicatory panegyric upon Nicho-
h.. which, TO quote the Christian Register, Is a
JEALOUS and able defence" of his government and
policy!


You may not have heard Of this book Even the
chnsi.n Register cannot pass over its literary de-
,.nt,. for it has learned grammar and rhetoric at
scbOol II il never studied tho Morals Of Freedom.
Ioru,h the book Is SO very low in STYLE as well as
,uocious in principle, that several persons who,
through interest in Polish Affairs, were led to look
;,o il, thought il wonld be doing it too much
honor even to censure IL in the public Press But

s1r,ad il, 1t bear, marks Of being brought forth
and 2oIitd rp, as the people say, by the Prspa-
sands Of Absolu,isn. The author says in the
p,,fscr. that he had in the preparation Of the
EVIDENT that this friend is Russian or in the pay

an sgent employed in the business that MAJOR
T.ebman was logged by spies, and that the news

afflicted with penal moral blindness. This Hitch
cock does not know what he would have. Amidst
ii. insane living against Poland and for Nicholas,
he .ai,.rs unwittnsly facts enough TO reiue his
man argument. l should have thought 1t good
uI,p 10 give this book TO any body without note or
Comment to show them how bad cause was that
If Russia. Yes Hi;chcock's book can be account
ed for. An individual may be deprsved, have
moral or Intellectual insanity, or may be bought.

produced the American Revolution were forgotten
amid the ease and luxurles those times have be-

lido Dot suppose the writer OF the Christian Re-
gaey knows The details OF the History OF Poland,
least since the Congress of Vienna. This noble
history will not always be 30 unknown IN America
for ,here is IN progress history OF Poland which
will enc day see the light. But the verlest iyro
