Beyond this I did nothing, and I found-somewhat to my own astonish- ment--that, with my ordinary staff of four diplomatic secretaries, the general direction of a war of no inconsiderabito d mansioas added but little to my ordinary labours.

Further, though it is full, it is not diffuse nor tedious. The only grave fault which mars it is one of style, for Mr. Murdock is too apt to drop into slang or similar unworthy language, bringing the discriminating reader up with a sharp shook occasionally. This would be easy enough to avoid, and we trust that Mr. prevail. Murdoch in a future edition will strike ont some of bis less dignified expressions, His History doll.
