Mr. D. appears to be an educated man. and a fine speaker, with the exception that he isin style too sentimental and de- hunciatory. Being a~ British 'subject, we | thought -his remauiks a little too harsh to be in good taste.

Of course we don't »dject to his righ to criticise our speech; we are williny to let what all such criticisms go for tney are worth.
