I hâve vahied tliat work excccdingly froin it.» first appearance, and I shall now dejiosit tlic copy I had bcforc in sonie public libnuy, wliere it will lie ivad by the largest nunilier of our working class.

It is with that dass tliat the keenest and most enlighiened interest is felt in the progress of your grcat eoiiHict — cxcept that, if we reganl the first rate incn of ail descriptions as a class, their interest is the deepest and most cnlighteneil — I nicun, of coui'se, on liehiJf of the North, ail the enlightenment being on that side.

Believe nie, I will do iny be.st to put your gift to a goud u.se ; and perhaps, it is not ill-bcstowed on one who is always Iryiiig to makc the case of your grcat second révolution undorstood in this country.
