...comedy-drama, "The Advocate," by a young American actor, Mr. Charles Lander, was produced at the Kilburn Town Hall on Friday evening. It is taken from the French, is dated 1817, and is really a duel of words and stratagems between the advocate, Malesherbes, and the Baroness De Mergis, a lady who has piqued him by raising false hopes as regards love within his legal breast. She wishes to marry her son to Helene, daughter of the Marquis De la Tour, whose estates had been confiscated and bestowed on the father of Barnard Dubois. This young gentlemen is supposed...
...money and leisure enough to take them in hand with her own chosen officials and make them satisfactory.

In my letter I deplored the fact that English literature was but taught in a fragmentary fashion here, although the fragments might be very highly polished; and F. W. K. will surely remember my words concerning Prof. Child. The stimulus towards reading, (and extensive reading), gained from connection with English 7 and 8, I have never before been aware of; but I am quite sure that even the theses which are read in the class, (and which consume a vast amount of time uselessly...
