Note: The journal of Mrs. Frances Ann Butler, better known as Miss Fanny Kemble, has, after a long delay, made its appearance; but at so late a period that we are unable to present our readers with our opinions at large of its merits, which we regret the more, as the work has created much excitement in the literary and fashionable world. Numerous extracts from its pages have been published in the newspapers, and the daring authoress has received but little mercy from any quarter. It will be reviewed in our next. EDITORIAL REMARKS. We recommend the contents of our present number with entire confidence, to our readers. The article on the "_Influence of Free Governments on the Mind_," is from the same gifted and exuberant pen which produced the "_Impediments to Literature_," republished in our fifth number, from the Western Monthly Magazine. The selection from Mr. Mitchell's Manuscripts, or the story of the "_White Antelope_," will, we doubt not, be read with zest enough to create a strong desire for future contributions from the same source. The peculiarities of those wild sons of the forest who have never been _corrupted by civilization_, (we hope the solecism will be pardoned,) cannot fail to attract the curious. The story we publish is truly _unique_ and excellent of its kind. Chapter I. on "_English Poetry_," tracing as it does the rude and early dawnings of that divine art in our own venerable vernacular, will deeply interest by its antique spirit, and by the accurate and profound investigation which its author has evinced. We shall look for the remaining chapters with much eagerness. We hope that no one will be deterred, by the length of Professor George Tucker's discourse on the "_Progress of Philosophy_," from reading it attentively. We acknowledge the value our pages derive from its insertion, and we earnestly desire that all should share in the pleasure and improvement which it will undoubtedly impart. Besides that some of its views possess all the freshness of originality, the whole address is couched in that felicitous diction for which its author has been already justly distinguished, ennobling the subject, while it familiarizes it to readers of all classes. The 5th "_Letter from New England_" is full of thought, and deserves the serious consideration of every man who claims to be a patriot. When will the disastrous conflicts of party strife so far subside, as to authorise a thorough, if not exclusive devotion to our own state institutions and concerns? There are many things in our own internal policy which might be judiciously reformed: The allusions of the letter writer to the system of fixing the age by law at which judges shall leave the bench, are expressed in his best style, and forcibly remind us of the veneration and respect due to the "gigantic Coryphæus of the United States' Judiciary."
