From the Daily Advertiser, Dec. 13, 1833.
Major Downing in England.—These inimitable letters,
which first appeared in this paper, have been almost universally republished
by the journals in this country. They have now reached
London, and are copied with avidity in the leading journals of that
city, and bid fair to be as extensively read in England as in this
country. We regret exceedingly that they cannot be appreciated
by an English reader with the same zest as by an American.
The characters drawn, the masterly points made by the
Major, must be lost to those who cannot, from the nature of the
case, be acquainted with them. With all those disadvantages,
it is no small credit to the talent of the author (and to the
readers) that they should be thus favourably received.
