Excerpt from Literary and Scientific Repository, and Critical Review, 1822, Vol. 4: Nos. 7 and 8 Our readers perhaps will be struck with the want of accuracy in the statement of fins question; ahd the ambiguity in which it 33 involved may embarrass them in determining the precise object of inquiry; but we are soon informed that the means are parlia mentary interference, and that the resources are restrictions upon importation and exportation. We are induced 'to make these remarks, lest it might be su posed that physical circum stances entered into the merits of tie subject, and the successful cultivation of the earthformed a prominent feature in the scheme. This latter, though undoubted] y highly essential, yet can only oc cupy a secondary position in the scale of means and resources of France, as Frenchmen consider the maxim true, which the Emperor J ulian publicly recognised, that it is the duty of a sove reign to provide his subjects with food. We shall not now ques tion either the soundness of this principle in theory, or insist upon its emptiness in practice; but we cannot forbear to remark, that if the parental solicitude of sovereigns in this respect were less con snicuous, their people would often' be saved the necessity of ap p ying to them for bread - the pain of being denied it - or the mockery of their sufferings, in being fed with corn laws.

Excerpt from The Literary and Scientific Repository, and Critical Review, 1821, Vol. 2: Nos. 3 and 4 Much has been said, by the American Biograp ers of Wash ington, concerning his magnanimity during the ravages of a civil war, in which he acted so conspicuous a part; but, on the other hand, two instances have been mentioned, in which he is thought to have been deficient in this great quality of a hero. Granting (it Q has been said) that duty required him to execute, as a spy, the accomplished Major Andre, true magnanimity would have pre vented him from insultingly erecting, in the view of that unfortu nate otiicer, the gallows on which he was to be hung, several days before his execution. And, when Earl Cornwallis was overpower ed by numbers and obliged at Yorktown to surrender to the united armies of America and France, a magnanimous conqueror would not have claimed, contrary to the usage of civilized war, the sword from the hands of that gallant nobleman. On these two occasions, and on some others, the conduct of Washington agreed so ill with his general character, that he has been supposed to be in uenced by the leaders of the French Army.'
