It is not a matter of very great difficulty to get at the facts, the requisite research, if wide, is not profound. And can be-compassed by any man with a year's leisure at his disposal. But the number of men so fortunately placed is small, and most men with a year's leisure at their disposal prefer to spend it otherwise than in confuting, with so much labour, a trouble some political antagonist.
