the lectures were tlie finest and best
they had ever beard anywhere. He is
a boin orator, a man of national repu?
tation, and his lectures are perfectly
clean, chaste, convincing and on an
exceedingly high plane. They are of
a high literary character and well

The reputation which our county
man has made for himself is very
gratifying to us and the moro so for
the reason, that it is justly merited
praise. No one can hoar him without
being impressed by his eloquent
the "clean, chaste and convincing*"
