I\inglake, an English historian of the Crimean war, whose ahle work has excited much notice, objects to the application of the phrases "true honor" and "true glory" to men like these, as a desecration of terms, which he deems should not be borrowed for such a purpose from warlike heroes. He ridicules the "extravagant veneration of mechanical con- trivances" and glory of the mechanic arts which were indulged when the ' cathedral of glass, " or Crystal Palace, climbed high over the stately elms a...t Knightsbridge. In the magnificent exhibition of the industries of all nations, he saw signs which might lead to the conclusion that England was failing in her ancient spirit. In his view " an army is but the'limb of a nation, and it is no more given to a people to combine the possession of military strength with an unmeasured devotion to the arts of peace, than it is for a man to be feeble and helpless in the general condition of his body, and yet to have at his command a strong right arm for the convenience of self-defence.
