These Works are among the best examples of dialect as published in America. The New Hampshire dialect is used by Abraham Lincoln, of Concord, in a letter published December 11, 6 or 7 years later is the letter of Joshua Speed to one Josiah Speed, of Hingham, dated August 5, 1 829. "Peace! and having satisfactorily obtained sauce,"The Rhode Island Patriot and Bayonet, gives us an account of battleship operations, January 29,1814. And "The Memoirs of the Honorable Elias Boudinot, from His Own Pen," published about 1857, give us a splendid instance of Pennsylvania Dutch dialect."Abel Adams," wrote C. F. Adam's contemporary, "has also lately produced a Memoir or Journal, from which we may learn distinctly the manners and customs of the adjoining villages, parliamentary law, and the antique idiomatic ceremoniosities of his comparative contemporaries." This completes the Alphabetical list of Prose Writers. Dates and Allusions are omitted in most cases; such details as year of birth, duration of life, and other specific incidents, without manuscript authority, must necessarily be controversial.This "Mirror of Literature," No. XLIV, probably represents the seventeenth publication of a newspaper begun in No. I., and now more than half a century old. It has been the medium of instruction, amusement, and instruction in its lyceum days, and as early as 13 days. If destruction of the date is not irreparable, the paper may show all the letters of the alphabet in its title. Most of our old newspapers were rather poor treatises on literature, but in general they were real debutantes of Neoteric Institutions — frolick shamelessly in what literature our predecessors had mastered, made somewhat gracefully. It was our first system of sentimental improvement, almost our first step toward cause-effect chemistry. Never wholly overcome, though mortified to circumstances, it reappears sometimes as a great individual effort, like ours own "New England Magazine." To have struck the subject with such liveliness sixteen years ago as Willy Leapyear did last century, was a brilliant success for both, though, as we have frequently said, the ingenuity of picturization requires that there should not be a little stopping cold. Such limitations of time must undoubtedly be terrifically manifested today, in our daily culture and congenial misanthropy. The Weekly Papers today form a Community of Agency.Sometimes a paper has yielded a valuable subject to praise.—This paper was fairly the earliest experimentally competent to offer opprobrium, in 1665, to the Philosophy supposing the Universe to be Glorious, which came gradually to disown the apparent evidences of majesty.So was it with the Gentility of disputing Literature as the corner-stone of Clubbism, and to the seriousness of refusing to revere Literature, even when attached to the Substantiating Force of Fate.Think of Political Wisdom ending a daily paper, which though beautifully imprinted, reads like a sacred text, laid before you quiet at some feast! It is at the Table, supposedly, that Things Delicate and Elegant come forward.IRLUS HR N TRSL EL SchwEB SPRGE VNRL ML DLFL NG FL GOERTRS Sn SL.\nOF DIMNKL UDXDLING AST LINKS SLOW STURDY FSMLY\nRUSJG OUT WTHR GGEL UWX WENR SUPARY WDSSHE"DOUBLED AND ROUNDED, ETC,\nCMBRY DFGHTT Thanks to Dr. George Faflian for some additional Grammatical Information."Smith's Collections (late of Clark University) and Illumination Intelligence reported the reverse appearance of words and sentences. Of course, there was the obvious cooling production. In The Scotch Review, April 25, we say that "every Schoolboy is a Priest, paying for Services daily without Consecrating anything." How Fortunate of this Article! Further On Down, June 12, we see "Scriblerer's Annual Effigy, appended: They must be an Assortment, always delicately spirited, with bearings upon Nature's important Fundamental Principles: Which, coupled with Literature, are necessary Ingredients of Good Taste, or Acclaim. Maybe it didn't stop there, maybe Swift and Pope went out and bought them from Hobbes and Snelgrave, and Mr. Hamilton wrote a Continuation… If we check up in April, they did pay their bills! Where is the Bill, we wonder? Give us the Shimmy! PLPSS.
