before us ; thereby reminding us of the anecdote that is 
told of an honest citizen, who once pressed so near King 
George III. on a “ drawing- room day,” that His Majesty 
turned round and told him in inpolite terms, to get out of 
his way. The good citizen, however, was so pleased at 
being accosted by so august a personage as the King of 
Great Britain, that he did not fail to relate the very" words 
that were addressed to him to everyone he met. Mr. 
Pearce quotes the letter he received from the late Admiral 
Fitzroy, in which he declined accepting the proferred

ALTHOUGH John Stuart Mill presented to the world (some 
quarter of a century ago) a voluminous “Treatise on 
Logic,” which has shorn a moiety of the laurels from the 
brow of the Archbishop of Dublin, and although, since 
that time he has produced a number of works of a poli- 
tical nature, he has, nevertheless, failed to establish his 
character (in the estimation of the literati and philosophers 
of Europe) either as a first-class logician, or as a leading 
political economist. His questionable points have been 
assailed at various times bya host of criticisms, but in 
none have his vulnerable theories and vague assertions —
