These are well chosen to tickle reminiscence. And in this respect, Mr. Allen's comments too, are above reproach.

If he were, he would realize that this slashing of thin air in defence of President Lowell and with such an adversary as the Chicago Tribune is unseemly. Will not this last reproach suffice for any good Bostonian...
