which Lord Derby could scarcely find any decent pretext for opposing, would, we believe, be at once a great source of strength and popularity to the administration, and a substantial and permanent blessing to the country.
Such, in brief, are our notions as to the political wants of the nation, and the best means of supplying them. The new Parliament will show what are the chances of seeing our hopes fulfilled. We have left ourselves no space to speak of the books placed at the head of this Article. That of Mr. Moseley contains much good sense, many sound views, many useful suggestions; but it is sadly languid and wordy, and the style is loose, rambling, and inelegant. The work of Mr. Cornewall Lewis is of a far higher order and has a different scope. It is scientific in its object and arrangement, and is full of solid thought and extensive learning. But it would be doing it great injustice to treat of it at the fag-end of a paper on practical policy.
