And there isthe more than Counter veiling advaiitsge•of this record of 8, *aptly life-being brought within the reach of a larger circle of readers. It is unnecessary to say any more of the subject, or of the treatment which it has received from the biographer. The picture .is more attractive than ever now that it is somewhat reduced in site.' -
