"DEAR SIR: "I find the following minute in a Diary kept by my father, who was for a time in Europe in the year 1808. While in Dublin, he was almost daily in social intercourse with the family of Mr. Weld, the author of Travels in the United States,-I do not remember the title of the book. At breakfast, Mr. Weld said, You may say to the people in America that I am sorry I ever wrote the book. I was out of humour when I wrote and sent it to the press, and would afterwards, on reflection, have recalled it, but it was too late. At different periods of life we see things in different points of view. Were I now to visit America, I would no doubt form very different opinions of things; and were it not for my engagements I would certainly do it." "If this is of any interest to you, it is at your service. I have frequently heard the same thing from my father, when Mr. Weld's book was more read than it ever will be again, and was regarded with great indignation. The Diary came into my hands only a short time since. "Yours, very respectfully, JOSEPH 11. DULLES, "S. AUSTIN ALLIBONE, ESQ. March 16, 1868." 2.
