And many of the terms though sufficiently common, totally and shamefully misapplied. It must be con fessed that so many verbal absurdities and deficien cies have seldom, in a single work, provoked the lash of honest criticism; and to use the words of the New York Aristarchus, such a writer as the author of the ought to be put into a short jacket and petticoat and sent to school with a horn book and primer, to begin his education.
