til .t I should si ile, as I h ive d me in llw letters oti

and, in my opinion, nol justified by 'he fae'.

especially as lo the stab m nt th t many, or that
any Protestants, denied the right of Christia i
borial, being given over lo lite "anntmn ists" and
as to the "-suleof indulgences" it jou mean the
sale ol indulgences as praclic d in, and before the
lime of, the Refosmalion, and not the worship ol
Ihe Virgin and the Cross, constant!) found in
public places of worship, and often in I he public
offices and streets, with inscriptions and plscrds
attached, promising indulgence for sins on condi
tion ol piayer nnd payment of certain monies,
with which every traveller in Spain and some
other parts of the Continent is Inmiliar and as to
some oilier less important particulars to which you
refer in this part ol your letter, I can only remark
lhal there are several discrepancies from what was
really said, and lhal ou are evidently mistaken,
without inn nding to be. to, in several mailers.
1 allude to it also for the purpose of showing how
easy it i to make iuadveitan! mistakes, in attempt
ing to report a casual conversation had in a cur.sory
manner and in the frankness of social and friendly
Intercourse. Deeming this portion of your letter
irrelevant to the mam subject, and that my reply
may nol h; too lung, I omit any further observa
tion upon jr.
As lo thai portion of your letter w hich refers lo
the publication of mine lo you of ill?3 6 h of July,

As, howevi r, a similar statement was made in my

SIB EDWARD LVTTON BULWER.
Or Sir E. It. Bolwer L tton as he has re
cently denominated himself is a jrentb m in who
must be e uisj fered in ihe double iihf of an author
and a politician. In the former capacity he has
attained to a ptottd emineec ; Pr tt has not
read the works of ibis gentleman ? He i-- a novelist
n poi't and n philosopher; he has studied much
read deeply ; and he is evidently an excellent
bjstori in His st le varies according lo the nature
of the work which eng.ge his attention ; he c-.n
pass by easy Irnnsi'ion and without an efl'ort. from
grave io giv ; and he is as much al home in de
picting ihe flippancy of modern fashionable con
vers a'lon as in dialogue turning nn th" most ah.
slruse subji'cts. 'I'ake. for instanc, some of the
conyets itions in "p. m"' and eoinp ir" them
w uh others in 'Iviee..i" nnd "Z mora ;" you woultl
hardlv think Ihey were written by the same
person. Again, take ihe account of the destruc
tion o llerculaneum and Pompeii in ' Rienxi" and

he is peculiarly sensitive in rsnect to the c i'iqii' s
i n his w. ids. rhu.1 w hen his drama of '-La
Val lie re" made its appearance, Jules damn, the;
celebrated French critic, cut it on "b;p and thigh" j
in the Jotireal th-s f) bars ; and Bulwer was ami
singly mortified. He look a speedy opportunity
to avenge himself in his own wy. In A'ice;
;.r, The Mysteri's,,J he entered upon n lung and
really cleaver disquisition on French literature;
hul in the course of his observations, he exel im
ed, after paying some big1; compltiwMt's lo the
most remarkable French writers "Ob! ilnl a
country which produced such men. should hare i
spawned forth a Jules Janiii !"' ow Jan in hap
pens to be a very clever w:i'r; and this attack i
on bun by Bulwer was too ridiculous fo create a j
contrary impression. The world accordingly siw j
where the shoe pinched ; and ihe Ti n s lattghed
at the baronet, who was thus compelled to writhe
in I be nnp o ih Thunderer, as h- previously
smarted beneath ihe lash of the Fr-tich critic.
Sir E. L. Bulwer h is h- en most successful as a

I natural lo-lt.e v-ry life; 'he one is intoxicated woven for eidier his audience or the subject. Few

. other, conscious of bis own merits, renis-s bis trouble to follow him; and vmi never find thai
i own praises with calmness ; ihe one aff-cts to be

unwillingly sulf-rs his vast koowhdg" lo bl ze debate. If, however, persons feci anxious to gainer brings along -villi it these various incidents of pas
i forth at intervals ; ihe one is an . gotist ; the o her his sentiments, they ku w thai the best medium is 1 toral life, lliai m .ke even it very monotony
is void of ail pride; ihe one confounds in the newspaper. His speeches read much belter than I continual round ul fresh recurring and pleasurable
i same iud.v dual tiishenorabie conduct nnd lofty they sound. He says his lesson too rapidly. i emitpins, wiiich Ihe Arab would nol birler for th-
elitig toy. ile r
o hi r perspicuously draws
a striei line of deaiarc ition, and never depicts Ins
characters at variance w ith themselves ; the on"
j trusts nincii lo a preai popularity ; the other writes
I as il Jie wi re a timid author whose name is as v et
' unknown ; the one is itili of pretention ; the nrRi r
: is i unassuming and retiring: in fine the one is
' Bulwer, who is vain enough to think be ran a'

happy. He is a strange compound of good and i 'he thoroughly indefensible act of lampooning her ;
evil; at one moment he teaches a lovely girl, j husband in a novel, which shows far less clever
