[850

Second only to Mrs. Trollope's 'Domestic Manners' in the amount of acrimonious discussion it raised: the following note by the editor of the New York edition of Mrs. Trollope will give a fair idea of what was thought in the States of Captain Hall-"I have ascertained beyond all reasonable doubt that the real author [of 'Domestic Manners'] is no less a person than Captain Basil Hall, or All, as he is called in the literary circles of London, where he moves with such distinction. * * I challenge the world to produce an instance of the Captain's logbook having ever been quoted by any respectable writer except with a view of reproving his vanity, correcting his presumption, or establishing his ignorance. Either Captain

Basil All is Mrs. Trollope in breeches, or Mrs. Trollope is Captain Basil All in petticoats.”
