the theme appeared so thoroughly to possess him, body and soul, as to raise him to the height of any argument. There is little on the exalted but frigid benches of the Lords which can afford fuel to feed such a flame; but in the arena of the House of Commons debate he was second to none.

We must here take our leave of our author, glad of the contribution which he has given us, and well pleased to be reminded of so much service in a cause to which, during his lengthened life, the pages of this Journal have been consistently devoted. The diplomatic part of these volumes we do not stop to discuss at length. It embraces four very troubled questions-Italy, Denmark, Poland, and America—and in our opinion not only displays the ability of the author, but fairly vindicates the course which he pursued in each. The reader will find in the Introduction to this portion of the work Lord Russell's general views, and those on Italy are specially interesting, as redeeming Lord Palmerston's Government from the charge of having been idle bystanders during the struggle for independence. But this theme would require to be treated separately. We close our notice with the hope that, in addition to the many obligations under which Lord Russell has laid his country, he may elucidate still further by his pen the great and arduous times in which his past has been so distinguished.

No. CCLXIX. will be published in July.
