Perfect independence , peifect fearlessness , the liveliness which makes reading pleasant , and the picturesqueness which makes itiiuman and genial , these are the qualities to which they aspire . Among the contents of "The Idler" will bo found anew tale , by the author of "Singleton Fontenoy , " " Eustace Conyers , " " Satire and Satirists , " See . Short t » les , essays , und sketches by known writers ; portraiture of the living and the dead ; ri'tcs on men and things , topographical and antiquarian ; reviews of books ; resume of the eventa of the mouth ; obituary of eminent persons .
