Theye is among US an absurd atfectation q


superior sense aud wisdom which seeks 70 dis
play itself in adulation Of everything British,


whenever question Of atonal interest arises.


This class Of persons take the English view no


matter how grptesque or reasonless Il may be


and they seem to suppose that, BY denouncing


the opponents of the would be mistress OF the


seas, their own reputation for sagacity is un-
.impeachably established. This lickspitte dis


position nanilests itself among that small fry(oi


writers who hope, by blind adulation Of the
! English and detracton of their own cou1tTy, 70

taken from the most spiteful and least-to-be-
trusted Of English party writer's, in the view 70
prevent the diss cmination Of any truth unfa-
vorabIe to Britain. OF this latter class is the
History Of The Consulate and The Empire by
NJ. A. Theirs, published by Carey and Hart,
with notes and additions These ''notes anu
additions" are series Of frivolous and truly
English attempts at fault finding, and with
very i'll success, and frequently tie romance Of
Alisen is appealed TO, to invalidate statements
based on documents Of the French Govern
nent. The translation is snguIarly defective;
IS an instance, we quote from the portrait Of
Desaix, as follows:
