Mr. E. Charlton Black finished last evening his course of lectures on English literary writers. Coming from the University of Edinburgh with the highest recommendations from prominent men of the continent as well as of England, professors of mathematics and philosophy as well as of literature, it is pleasing to notice the success that he has won as shown by the large audiences which he has attracted at each lecture. Mr. Black has shown himself to be well acquainted with the literature of his country and the influence which the men on whom he has lectured have had upon it While he has not, perhaps, offered us any especially new or original treatment of them - and indeed, as we understand it, such was not his intention at the beginning, - he has given an entertaining and popular course of lectures which cannot fail to be profitable to us. Certainly he can close them with the satisfaction that they have proved of interest, and that we are grateful to him for his undertaking.
