IN no. 77, the Reviewer returns to his subject of attacking the West India Colonies, and for this purpose he confines himself almost entirely to extracts from Mr.Clarkson's “Thoughts,” a publication among the best which the Critic seems to have met with, as exceeding in direct malevolence and reckless declamation, any thing that the Reviewer could of himself produce. On this account I shall, in noticing this publication, and others of a similar nature, pass from the Review, and stick to the originals, particularly as there are some passages in them which are evidently too strong for the Reviewer's nerves, and too bold and daring for even his inventive powers to dwell on.

Of this publication of Mr. Clarkson it may be said, that never before were so many misrepresentations and deviations from truth collected into the bounds of fifty-seven octavo pages. These are harsh words, but they are true, as the extracts my time and limits permit me to notice, will abundantly prove.

Mr. Clarkson cannot expect that his simple affirmation is to supersede all inquiry and all authority, and turn the course of events into such channels as he may chuse. A short example of our author's manner, and our author's consistency and veracity, may at the outset and at once, gave the reader a correct idea of the spirit and the object of the work.
