Review of Tremaine. *

Ecce iterum Crispinus? ² Here are these ‘crisp’ ³ Cocknies ‘at their dirty work again.’ Shall we never be able to exterminate them? We have hitherto considered, and represented them to our / readers, as a parcel of puppies, scarcely worth the drowning, But we now begin to think that they must belong to the feline species, and have nine lives instead of the ninth part of one. Here have we, ever since the commencement of our sanguinary career, been killing them with as little mercy, and almost as fast, as Billy kills those infinitely less filthy and mischievous vermin the rats; ⁴ and yet they seem, for anything we can see to the contrary, to be just as live as ever. Well – no matter – we must follow the advice of the 58pretty innocents in the wood, to Walter, and ‘kill ’em again.’ ¹
