Well, some of them are not of first-rate goodness.

Should have been burnt; or the time marked which they took up, and whether it was good time wasted (which I suppose it almost never was), or bad time skilfully got over.

Time, that is the great point; and the heart-truth of them, or mere lip-truth, another.

We must give some specimens, at any rate.
Especially that notable Specimen from the Zittau Countries: the "Epistle to Wilhelmina (EPITRE A MA SOEUR [_OEuvres de Frederic,_ xii.

36-42.];" which is the key-note, as it were; the fountain-head of much other verse, and of much prose withal, and Correspondencing not with Wilhelmina alone, of which also some taste must be given.
