T think it well exeeuted both in' manner and
taatter. A judicious selection of facts, related
a in elevated style, and enlivened by a rich
fancy, earries the reader on with the ardor of
his author, w hile the fine traces of the grayer
embody in his mind, the figure with the facts,
of the relation. iHiave understood that the
seale of the narrative has been censured, bv
some, as too short, by others, as too Ions. J
think, myself, iti well proportioned to the ob
ject of the work.: 'Were i to indulge a criticism,
it would be on the omission to. quote authorities
for the lives and portraits of Columbus and Ves
pucius. Their a?e was so remote from ouriin
time and place, that whatever caa be learnt of
uicm now, must be from public sources with
bich the reader might wish to be acquainted.
