Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof
fin, now resident in Newburyport, Mass, address
ed to the Editors.ofthe “ Casketand “ Saturday
Evening Post.”
Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel
lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets
from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial
reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year,-
would be worth the trifling expense of the subscrip
tion ; those representing the Capitol, at Hsirrisburg,
Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand
somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work;
in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within
the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so
well calculated to cheer the oppressed and languid
spirits as the “ Casketthe matter is diversified and
useful—so much so, that there must always be found
something to please the literary taste of every one,
who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may
think inc over-earnest in this matter, and that I am
only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for
the gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with
sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will
readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen
tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S. COFFIN.

It has seldom been our good fortune to
meet with a more ably executed and enter
taining performance of the kind, than the
3 before‘us—at least since we last took
leave of the pages of Lucian. Its allegori
cal character is extremely well conceived,
and as well sustained throughout; difficult,
and even intricate, as such a subject is con
fessedly allowed to be. These difficulties
the author has here boldly encountered^ and
for the most part successfully overcome,
making good the observation of Hobbes,
that to him who boldly dares, most things
become easy fit la9t. In other branches of
his subject, likewise, the author often dis
plays a rare degree of merit.; he has the
art of combining much solid political wisdom
and remark with lighter topics, with exqu|‘
site satirical humour and reflections; arid
with that play ( of manner and of style wlkch
so greatly enhance the zest and interest felt
in this species of writing. The whole, too,
is in good keeping; there is an air of pro
bability and justice in the representation of
the abodes, the conversations, and the re
wards and punishments, assigned to the
character of the departed Greats -Many
excellent moral and political maxims are *
interspersed with the conversations ; alto
gether producing an impression highly fa
vourable to the author. Occasionally, too,
there runs a vein of wit, and satire thro’ Sjhe
political conversations, which tells admira
bly from the lips of (lie illustrious persona
ges who are introduced. The meetings, olT
mighty enemies in the other world, and their
retrospective conversations on the affairs
