We shall perhaps take some opportunity to speak separately of M. Leroux's work, Sur l'Humanité. It is a work of very superior pretension to the writings of MM. St Simon, Fourier, and others, who must rather be regarded as makers of projects than makers of books. M. Leroux has the honour of indoctrinating George Sand with that mysticism which she has lately infused into her novels – by no means to the increase of their merit. When M. Leroux was reproached by a friend for the fewness of his disciples, he is said to have replied – "It is true I have but one —mais, que voulez-vous? – Jésus Christ lui-même n'avait que douze."

He had been drawing the usual painful picture of the distress of the manufacturing classes, and citing for his authority some English journal. In doing this he has made a somewhat alarming mistake. The colloquial phrase job-work has perplexed, and very excusably, the worthy Belgian, and he has drawn from a very harmless expression a terrible significance. "Partout le travail est le métier de job (job-work) comme disent les Anglais —un métier à mourir sur le fumier." In another place he has understood the turn out of our factories as the expulsion of the artisans by the master manufacturers.

Westminster-Hall, first reared by Rufus, was entirely rebuilt by Richard II.

Winchester, many years the residence of Joseph Warton, is so much associated with the recollections and noble poetry of his younger brother, as to warrant the expression in the text.

The Protector-Duke, beheaded on Tower-Hill in the reign of his nephew, Edward VI. – "His attention to the poor during his Protectorship, and his opposition to the system of enclosures, had created him many friends among the lower classes, who hastened to witness his end, and yet flattered themselves with the hope of his reprieve." – Lingard.

The trial of the seven bishops took place in the hall. Five out of their number – worthy of note upon every occasion – (the Archbishop, the Bishops of Ely, Bath and Wells, Chichester, and Petersborough,) refused the oaths to King William, and were deprived accordingly.

The unfortunate Scottish lords were tried here 1745-6, as Horace Walpole abundantly testifies.

More than one noble family, very creditably, have visited the works of art on free-admission days.

Almost all Blake's great battles were fought in the Channel. One of the most memorable was that off Portsmouth, February 1652.

The Princess Marie of Wurtemberg, the most accomplished child of this most accomplished family, and whose beautiful efforts in sculpture and painting are well known, died a year after her marriage, January 2, 1839.
