And yet he lies between the contending powers.

But it is more. There THERE are few things which show a more candid mind than a fined spiritual terrors in an dulness. A day of simple vacuity, of not is a foretaste, a threatening, of something worse – a touch of undefrank confession of dulness. It is an admission of occasional being amused, has no analogy with the dulness our active imagination vacuity, of self-insufficiency, which very few can bring themselves realizes. Everybody is now and then neither doing anything, nor to make, and which, when made, is not always received with the wanting to do anything —unamused, and not wanting to be amused. humanity and tenderness such ingenuousness deserves. People Everybody is vacant sometimes, and does not dislike the sensation ; who never feel weary of their own company have a contempt for but what has all this to do with dulness? A man is dull, it may be, those who do, and often a very ill-founded contempt; for, in the to other people, but not dull to himself.

We are without something that answers to the body is never dull, and can turn all painless conditions of being to mind for what clothing and shelter are to the body. We are an element of delight.

Immersed in dulness, even the inherent quality of the mind, but a matter of feeling. It, indeed, future is too far off to excite hope ; for dulness has in its very nature implies a certain quickness of apprehension always to know when a touch of perpetuity. If we find ourselves, for example, in for we are dull. There are existences so void of interesting, elevating, four hours' perfectly dull talk, from which there is no escape, what or inspiring circumstances that only a dull head and a dull heart good does it do to say, It is only four hours, What are four hours could reconcile themselves to them; but the leaders of such lives compared to a lifetime — and so on?

Life itself will end, and we accept this truth are content with them, and value themselves on that content. more readily than that these four hours will, which nothing seems Supposed immunity from dulness, then, may proceed from all to shorten. Solitary dulness is, no doubt, a more awful and more sorts of causes, creditable or the reverse. It may arise from mysterious infliction than social dulness can ever be, but the activity of mind, fulness of thought, an uninterrupted stream of majority of mankind are not exposed to this extreme pressure on occupation, which is always the assumed cause--or from slowness, mind and nerve — they are not thrown for long periods utterly apathy, and a dead sterile imagination. Thus, a man may never upon themselves. It comes to most of us in the form of unconbe dul because he contains everything within himself, or because genial company and occupation. Whenever the mind suffers his heavy intelligence is on an exact level with his monotonous from a suspense of its voluntary processes too long, we are dull, as existence. Certain it is that there are many who avow themselves in protracted or mistimed instruction or amusement. We are dull perfectly satisfied with their own company whose company gives in scenes which make demands on our interest and intelligence that others very little satisfaction – who, if they are not dull, for any- we can not meet. We are dull when our mind, or one side of thing we can see, ought to be. It is an extremely happy thing in our mind, is defenceless, has lost its usual and necessary such cases that there is this just balance; for the fact is, it is support, whether that support be habit—a word in itself conveying only very lively or engaging people who can own themselves dull all our meaning-or the intervention of fresh ideas from without, with impunity — who can find sympathy, or even toleration, for for the want of which a painful void is felt.

M. Esquiros writes about our army, our selves.” There are other utopias beside those of political economy, and the dreams of the national ambition are not the least obstinate or the least dangipsies, our fairs, our clubs, our theatres, our newspapers, but gerous. These reflections, I fear, run a great risk of being unpopular; but nothing at all about our homes. He is not one of those travellers what matter, if they be true? It is only too easy in France to flatter the who go into a country, lionize its capital, go to one or two love of glory, and if that is called patriotism it surprises me.

But we must allow We say this as criticism wholly of the title, and not at all of the something for speeches first reported by M. Esquiros in French, book itself . If M.

But he has not written a formal work The military part of the book will be the most generally interabout England, nor has he at all undertaken to describe Eng- esting just at present. But M.

As yet We have, therefore, no right to blame M. Esquiros for not treating M. Esquiros seems to have mainly seen Lordon, the military this or that particular subject. And it is not to be wondered at life as displayed at particular times.
