--Enough of them.
From Mr. Everett I learn that your Boston Lectures have been
attended with renown enough: when are the Lectures themselves to
get to print? I read, last night, an Essay on you, by a kind of
"Young Scotland," as we might call it, in an Edinburgh Magazine;
very fond of you, but shocked that you were Antichristian:--
really not so bad. The stupidities of men go crossing one
another; and miles down, at the bottom of all, there is a little
veinlet of sense found running at last!
If you see Mr. Everett, will you thank him for his kind
remembrance of me, till I find leisure (as I have vainly hoped
today to do) to thank him more in form. A dignified, compact
kind of man; whom I remember with real pleasure.
Jargon abounds in our Newspapers and Parliament Houses at
present;--with which "the present Editor," and indeed I think the
Public at large, takes little concern, beyond the regret of being
_bored_ by it. The Corn-Laws are going very quietly the way of
all deliriums; and then there will at least be one delirium
less, and we shall start upon new ones.
