From the EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN LAW REVIEW. GENTLEMEN, -- Do you really think, upon reflection, that your notice of a pamphlet, containing three lectures by me, recently published, is an appropriate one for a legal periodical?

From the EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN LAW REVIEW. GENTLEMEN, -- Do you really think, upon reflection, that your notice of a pamphlet, containing three lectures by me, recently published, is an appropriate one for a legal periodical? The lectures profess to contain legal discussions upon, - 1. The three Powers of Government, with illustrations to show great and unnecessary departures from the principles involved. 2. The origin of the United States, with an application showing the status of the Southern States, controverting the positions of Mr. Loring's pamphlet on that subject, and, by implication, denying the soundness of Mr. Pomeroy's treatise, which aims to become a text-book of Constitutional Law. 3. The three great Dangers of the Republic, with earnest denunciations, I admit, of interested politicians, who, for the gratification of their personal ambition, are endangering the existence of the Republic by perverting the Constitution, and, through Congress, usurping all the Powers of Government. From the nature of the case, this lecture is less exclusively legal than the other two. I understand from your notice that you do not agree with me. Very well; I do not object to that. But have I not some reason to "take an exception," that, instead of a "Critical Notice," which shall show my errors and expose my fallacies, if such exist, you send out to your readers such a "Book Notice" as might have been expected from some petty partisan newspaper, the editor of which had no comprehension of the principles involved, and only understood that the pamphlet did not favor his party.
