In the following concluding lines, which succeed those we have just quoted, the Twins are finally disposed of. We insert them here as a notable instance of long efforts to kindle a blaze, at last dying away in the suffocation of their own smoke.-- "And Ching?--poor fellow!--Ching can never His former spirits quite recover; Yet he's agreeable as ever, And plays the C----k as a lover. In every place he's vastly _fêted_, His name's in every lady's book; And as a wit I hear he's rated Between the Rogers's and Hook. But Chang?--of him was known no more, Since, Corsair like, he left the shore. Wrapped round his fate the cloud unbroken, Will yield our guess nor clew nor token. He runs unseen his lonely race, And if the mystery e'er unravels The web around the wanderer's trace-- I fear we scarce could print his travels. Since tourists every where have flocked, The market's rather overstocked-- And so we leave the lands that need 'em Throughout this 'dark terrestrial ball,' To be well visited by freedom,-- And slightly nibbled at by Hall!" ART. VI.--_Europe and America; or, the relative state of the Civilized World at a future period. Translated from the German of_ Dr. C. F. VON SCHMIDT-PHISELDEK, _Doctor of Philosophy, one of his Danish Majesty's Counsellors of State, Knight of Dannebrog, &c. &c._ By JOSEPH OWEN. Copenhagen: 1820. Although the translator of this book professes in his Preface to have been principally induced to undertake the task by "the desire of being the humble instrument of imparting to the American nation, that picture of future grandeur and happiness, which the author so prophetically holds out to them," we believe it is but little known among the readers of this country. Yet it is in every respect a very interesting and curious work. It will be seen by the title-page, that it was not only translated into, but printed in English, at Copenhagen, with the view of disseminating a knowledge of its contents among the people of the United States. Yet we do not recollect that it was noticed at the time of its publication in any of our critical journals, and the only copy that has ever fallen under our notice is that now before us, which has been in our possession many years. Nevertheless, it is the work of a man of very extensive views, and of deep sagacity. His speculations on the state of the different kingdoms of Europe, in relation to the past and the present, seem to us equally just and profound; and the predictions which ten years ago the author announced to the world, are every day, nay, almost every hour, becoming matters of history.
