Strauss would himself admit that not one of the writers who have recorded the facts connected with the Crucifixion was an eyewitness of that event, and he must also be aware that the very utmost which any of these writers can have KNOWN, was THAT CHRIST WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN. DEAD. It is strange to see Strauss so suddenly struck with the clearness, unanimity, and connectedness of the Evangelists.

Every action, almost every moment of his retirement, accurately chronicled by those who shared his solitude, have been placed before our eyes, in the most felicitous manner, by able and brilliant writers. The Emperor, shorn of the philosophical robe in which he had been conventionally arrayed for three centuries, shivers now in the cold air of reality.

Like all writers of some note, Maltravers was in the habit of receiving anonymous letters of praise, censure, warning, and exhortation especially from young ladies at boarding schools, and old ladies in the country; but there was that in the first sentences of the letter, which he now opened with a careless hand, that riveted his attention.

Many of my readers if I can lure any from the pages of younger writers will prove to be the children, or the grandchildren, of those whose acquaintance I made something more than a whole generation ago. I could depend on a kind welcome from my contemporaries, my coevals. But where are those contemporaries?

All the women that your fashionable writers tell us about are vulgar and sometimes unchaste creatures, to whom formerly a gentleman would have blushed to give one glance or to offer a supper. I say this for your benefit, Monsieur de Gerfaut, for in this respect you are far from being irreproachable; and I could bring forth your books to support my theory.

He looked forward to her return as to a new era in his existence: then he should live in better company, he should see something better than he had seen of late be something better.

He was the first minister at Watertown; a position in those days as important as the presidency of a trunk line is in our own. Cotton Mather and the early writers speak of him almost as the founder of the Congregational Church in New England; and he and his descendants were all cultivated gentlemen.

Still we must make the best of a bad matter; and if you are inclined to help to raise the family name not that I think much of book writers myself poor starving devils, half of them but still people do talk about them and a man might get a snug thing as newspaper editor, with interest; or clerk to something or other always some new company in the wind now and I should have no objection, if you seemed likely to do us credit, to speak a word for you.

Learned americans, and the british writers applied in vain to congress for a lawful protection of their honest labor. A subject of such an importance as the International Copy-right, the truly, and best pride of nations, had been neglected, in order to give place to long speeches on dollars and cents, and on the presidential election.
