be expected from the most able advocate. The
next time he tries his skill in this way, ne would
suggest for his consideration the propriety of his
undertaking to prove that /" the moon is made of

bic, after considering, how little effect is pro-
duced on the same public by some other facts
disclosed IN The recent communications TO
