" We are disposed to think the present number the best of the National Review * which has appeared yet , though none hitherto have been -wanting in power or interest .... certain it is that the articles without exception display reflective powers not too common among writers of review , ; Let it be added tliat they are not dull because they happen to be thoughtful . Whether judged rightly or wrongly whoever or whatever is judged in the ' National' appears to bo judged with care and deliberation , and upon every topic something not common place is formed and said . We do not care to specify an areicle when all are noticably good , but chese rather to commend the ' National Review * aa a whole to tho respect of all our readers . "—Examiner , April 12 th .
