ticed at some length. Mr Combe has failed in his attempt to get the better of Mr Stone's arguments, or rather, of his facts. A Rejoinder from Mr Stone is to be published, we believe, this day; and it will not be difficult for him to put Mr Combe in even a more awkward light than before,"-The Edinburgh Literary Journal, May 30.

Having adverted to Mr Combe's objections to the methods adopted by Mr Stone in his measurements and observations, we come to the conclusions,-that Mr Stone's methods were calculated to accomplish the ends he had in view;-that he was able, by means of them, to compare the relative sizes of certain organs in the heads of different individuals; and that, as no charge is made against him of

Read before the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh, by THOMAS STONE, Esq.

"Without entering into the controversy, we will venture to say, that Mr Stone has evinced great research, and literary talent of a very high order, in the composition of this work."-Medico-Chirurgical Review for July.

Mr Combe, in referring to this review, observes, "The first Medical Journal of Britain, and I may say of Europe," "viz.; The Medico-Chirurgical Review, has long supported Phrenology."-Letter to the Editor of the Weekly Journal.

"There are so many curious considerations scattered throughout the whole of Mr Stone's treatise, and the argumentative portion presents such a series of closely knit facts, and palpable deductions, that it seems destined to overturn a theory which has gained ground by the help of the imagination, and the superstitions of the weak, rather than the knowledge or judgment of the learned. We refer our readers to Mr Stone's pamphlet for the fullest details connected with Phrenology. We promise them their time will be profitably spent in its perusal."-The Atlas, June 7.

"This is one of the most efficient knock-down blows which Phrenology has yet received. Nobody can read this Pamphlet and believe in Phrenology. ** • Mr Stone's former pamphlet on the same subject was a learned and able one, but this is a thousand times more convincing, because there is no theorizing in it, nothing but plain statements and incontrovertible deductions."-Edinburgh Literary Journal for May 2d.

"Whether the Phrenologists will admit that their favourite science is knocked on the head by this author, we do not know; but if their theories have attained to the rank of a Science, Mr Stone has treated it in a proper way by a formal induction of facts which he has brought to bear upon the phrenological doctrines."-The New Scots Magazine for April.

"Mr Stone's present enquiries have had particular reference to the phrenological development of murderers, among the elite of whom Burke and Hare will long hold a fearful pre-eminence. His observations, while they are in some respects of a stern controversial character, contain information on scientific points, and philosophical investigations, which cannot fail to afford ample data for other inductions. We are here presented with measurements of nearly one hundred crania, and of the heads of eighty living individuals, besides of twenty-two thieves. Dr Barclay, Dr Roget, Dr Gordon, Dr Milligan, Sir William Hamilton, and Mr Jeffrey, have successively entered the arena of phrenological controversy; but we suspect that this little work of Mr Stone's will do more to overthrow the ingenious theory, than any attack it has yet received. It is a rigid and decisive appeal to facts, to common sense, and to reason."-The Edinburgh Evening Post, and Scottish Literary Gazette for May 9.

"The pamphlet before us not only warrants our continuing to withhold our belief in the propositions on which Phrenology depends, but to conclude that these propositions are positively false. Mr Stone gives the results of a variety of investigations, which have every appearance of being conducted with accuracy, and of being related with good faith. They are the observations of a gentleman possessed of professional knowledge and skill, and their accuracy is vouched by the testimony of other individuals who witnessed them." -The Edinburgh Weekly Journal, May 20th.

"We cannot at this moment number the attempts Mr Stone has made to rout his opponents, but it is known to all who take an interest in the warfare that he has repeatedly returned to the charge, and that each successive charge has been more successful than its predeessor. This last one, we regard as the most brilliant of all; and if the Phrenological champions do not make a good rally, and speedily egain the positions from which he has dislodged them, we suspect hey will be regarded as having tacitly agreed to an unconditional surrender. Candour and fairness characterize his whole argument, and we shall open the next number of the Phrenological Journal with some exciternent, knowing that so formidable an adversary must be answered."-Edinburgh Observer, May 1st.

we are called upon to give them the same credit as is given to statements of fact made by respectable individuals upon the evidence of their own observations."-The Edinburgh Weekly Journal, June 17. "Mr Combe devotes nearly half his pamphlet to the conductors of the periodical press, whom, with one or two exceptions, he reviles as the entertainers of a childish prejudice against phrenology, and as inordinately apprehensive that its ultimate triumph will imply a censure on their own conduct towards its founders. In this list we are included, simply because we described Mr Stone as an active and formidable anti-phrenologist. Even at the risk of being considered by Mr Combe as the abettors of Philosophical blunders and literary delinquencies,' we adhere to these opinions."-Edinburgh Observer, June 12.

"Mr Combe unadvisedly replied to the little work of Mr Stone, which we lately noticed, in a sixpenny work of premature triumph and chuckling; but a Rejoinder' has appeared, which is about one of the cleverest pieces of hitting, in a small space, that we have seen for some time."-The Scots Times for June 6.

"We observe that the sensation excited by Mr Stone's recent attack on Phrenology has not yet subsided, and that the attempts made to rally by the Phrenologists have called forth a good deal of discussion in the public Journals. We revert to the subject simply to state, that after all that has been said, both pro and con, we remain fixed in our opinion, that Mr Combe has been decidedly unsuccessful in his Answer to Mr Stone.""-The Edinburgh Literary Journal, June 20.

"An unobtrusive pensiveness, an ardent patriotism, and a sincere attachment to all the works of nature, characterise these Sketches,' in which there is not a thought that could offend the most fastidious. They are full of gentle feelings, lively pastoral descriptions, and agreeable and animated pictures of Scottish character."-Edinburgh Literary Journal.

"The characteristic tone of the whole volume is gentle beauty. It has not been the author's ambition to develope the wilder passions of the human heart, but to produce a few faithful pictures of the homely virtues and common vicissitudes of pastoral life. He has studied his subject deeply, and these Sketches have not been submitted to publie scrutiny without much forethought, and numerous retouches. They have been polished with great care, and we apprehend that this very polish will render them more popular in the drawing-room, than at the farmer's ingle. On the whole, we regard them as very creditable efforts in the department of literature to which they appertain, and lay aside the volume with a conscientious persuasion, that they are the emanations of a mind of whose compass they furnish but a very inadequate indication."-Edinburgh Observer.

"There is a flow of rich and varied imagery; there is a deep sense of the gentler and more amiable feelings of our nature; there is, above all, a tone of unpretending morality, and of quiet piety, in the whole work, that steals noiselessly into the heart."-Caledonian Mercury.

"His poetry displays right feeling, correct principle, and pure and undefiled religion.”—Edinburgh Evening Post.

"It is a mirror of much of what is most beautiful in primitive Scottish character; and while it thus brings back upon the heart, in all their original freshness and power, many of those scenes and en

joyments which constituted the witchery and romance of early years, it gratifies also refined literary taste, by the polished purity of its language, and the chasteness of its sentiments and imagery. They contain many fine touches of real nature, many happy thoughts and beautiful images, and many lively and striking pictures of that happy, that virtuous and lofty-minded class, that once formed the strength and pride of Scotland."-Glasgow Free Press.

"Its conception is exceedingly happy, and, in one sense, new. His genius is essentially lyrical; and the proof of this is as much in his selecting songs for his subject, as in his having composed so many excellent ones himself. His songs are all good, and only want a little careful, but scarcely perceptible, finish, to be as excellent as they are pumerous. We prophesy that many of them will find their way into eollections of our national melodies."-Glasgow Scots Times.

"We have no hesitation in warmly recommending the volume to our readers, as containing a great deal of sweet and beautiful poetry, and the germ of something greater, which, we trust, we shall see soon from the author. A work which will equally furnish pleasure in the drawing-room of the rich, and the cottage of the peasant."-Dumfries Courier.

"His imagery is delightfully varied and striking, and one feeling of serene piety and genuine morality pervades every page.”—Dumfries

Journal.

"It possesses the sterling merits of the peasantry, whose character the Sketches are intended to illustrate, without their rough and unpromising exterior."-Perth Courier.

"It is full of genuine nationality, unaffected simplicity, and good poetry."-Dundee Courier.

in attempting to be faithful, would have certainly fallen into vulgar ity, this writer displays a tact of selection, and an elegance in his language, which, while it retains the whole vivacity of real life, has all the interesting romance of mere imagination."-Fife Herald.

"His descriptions of our Scottish hills and dales, woods and vales, mountains and glens, rivers and lakes, as well as of the unadorned manners of our peasantry, are oftentimes vivid, characteristic, interesting,-displaying poetic genius of no common order."-Elgin

Courier.

"There is much of the genuine spirit of poesy in the volume, and much that is excellent in description, taste, and dialogue."-Inverness Courier.

"The choice of a subject seems to us very happy and judicious, as one which both well deserves and affords ample materials for a poetical record. This record, we think, Mr Hetherington has given in a highly poetical spirit, with much fine fancy, elegant taste, and moral sentiment. In almost all the characteristic excellencies of that more tranquil style to which these Sketches belong-that of pastoral poetry -they are more than ordinarily eminent. These Sketches, in many parts, very happily exemplify all that strong good sense, profound, though regulated feeling, and sly archness of humour, which used to be such characteristic traits of the Scottish peasantry. We cannot conclude without taking notice of the singular merit of the songs scattered through the volume, all of which display powers of sentiment, fancy, and versification, certainly not inferior to those exhibited by any living author who has attempted this most difficult and delightful species of poetry."-Edinburgh Weekly Journal.

ANTICORROSIVE PERCUSSION CAPS AND TUBES;

WARRANTED PERFECTLY WATERProof, AND AS HARMLESS TO THE GUN AS COMMON GUNPOWDER.

MANUFACTURED BY COLLINSON HALL, LONDON.

With respect to the quality and character of the above articles, it may be stated, that ever since the general introduction of Percussion Guns, for improvements on which C. Hall obtained, in 1818, the patronage of the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and Sciences, London, his Anticorrosive Caps, &c., which have occupied his almost exclusive study and attention from that period to the present hour, have met with the most decided preference of the first Sportsmen and Gunmakers in all parts of Englaud, as well as in various parts of the Cor tinent, and in America; and, from the great perfection to which they are now brought, it is perhaps impossible that any further improvement can take place.

Sold at 10s. the thousand Caps, and 28s. the thousand Tubes,-by BUTLER & Co., Chemists, 73, Prince's Street, Edinburgh,-also by most respectable Gunmakers in all parts of the Kingdom.

N.B. Several articles of a very inferior and injurious description having recently been introduced into the trade, it is of much importance to gentlemen who value their guns, and who are anxi us to avoid even the chance of disappointment in the field, to supply themselves with such Caps only as can be fully and completely depended on.-COLLINSON HALL will have his name engraved on the label, which is pasted on the top of the boxes containing them.

BUTLER'S COOLING APERIENT POW

DERS,-produce an extremely refreshing Effervescing Drink, preferable to Soda, Seidlitz, or Magnesia Water, and at the same time A MILD AND COOLING APERIENT, peculiarly adapted to promote the healthy action of the Stomach and Bowels, and thereby prevent the recurrence of Constipation and Indigestion, with all their train of consequences, as Depression, Flatulence, Acidity or Heartburn, Headache, Febrile Symptoms, Eruptions on the Skin, &c. &c. and by frequent use will obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salts, and other violent medicines, which tend to debilitate the system. When taken after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the table, particularly after too much wine, the usual disagreeable effects are altogether avoided. In warm climates they will be found extremely beneficial, as they prevent accumulation of Bile, and do not debilitate.

The Water of the Harrowgate Springs is very successfully used in cases of Scurvy, Scrofula, and Bilious and Gouty Affections; and it has, in particular, acquired great celebrity for the removal of the most complicated and obstinate Cutaneous Eruptions. The Salts are sold in 1s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. Bottles.

MR BUCKINGHAM'S TWO LAST LECTURES. Edinburgh, 16th July, 1829.

MR BUCKINGHAM begs to announce, that, with a view to the accommodation of the increasing audiences by which his Lectures continue to be honoured, and in order to provide for the still greater number of Ladies and Gentlemen who have expressed their intention to attend his LECTURE ON INDIA, as well as that on the MONOPOLY OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY, he has engaged the Great Room at the Waterloo Hotel, Regent Bridge, where his two last Lectures will be delivered,-the one on Saturday the 18th, and the other on Monday the 20th instant. As these two Lectures are essentially connected in their general interest, the first being intended to give a complete picture of India, its institutions, productions, condition, &c., and the last being devoted to an exposition of the evils attendant on the Monopoly under which that country now suffers, he thinks it his duty to state that the hearing of both is essential to a clear understanding of his views; and to admit of its being attended by individuals of every class who feel an interest in the subject-which must embrace all who desire to assist in the moral and religious, as well as the political and commercial improvement of a country containing at least a hundred millions of our fellow subjects-these two Lectures will be given in the Morning, instead of being delivered in the Evening, as originally intended. The Doors will be opened at Noon of each day, and the Lectures will commence at One o'clock precisely.

The character of Mr Brayley's work will be tolerably understood by what we have already said of its contents, but, we may add, that it deserves a place in every library, both public and private. The mass of useful and interesting information which it contains, does the greatest honour to the learning and research of the author, who richly merits the praise of having done much to redeem the name of an antiquarian from the obloquy which sometimes attaches to it, from the aspersions of the vulgus profanum. We trust he will again appear before us, as a wide and various field of enquiry is still before han: and the talents he has displayed in his present undertaking, make his labours and further exertions a sort of public debt."Monthly Review, May 1829.

"Mr Sillery's verses are calculated to convey not pleasure alone, but also instruction, which ought to be the great aim of all writers, and the chief object of all readers. Mr Sillery has cultivated his mind. His classical lore, his scientific information, and his habits of industrious research, are apparent in almost every page.-A se cond, and no less powerful consideration, induced us to bestow the meed of praise upon our author. His principles are pure, his feelings are strong, and his enthusiasm, as yet unimpaired, is all directed towards laudable objects. He is a passionate admirer of nature in all her moods; he is full of benevolence towards all his fel low-creatures; there is none of the littleness of false pride, or of morbid sensibility, or of harsh misanthropy, whether real or pretended, about his book. He writes as a young poet always should, honestly and unaffectedly, pouring over his subject the warm glow of native, virtuous, and healthy sentiment. He is deeply imbued with the best part of a poet's nature-the warm affections and generous aspirations of the soul, from which all that is selfish is excluded, and which elevate to eminence, simply by refining the grosser parta of our nature."-Edinburgh Literary Journal, April. after no particular model: it is fresh and luxuriant, and altogether his own."-Edinburgh Literary Journal, May.

"What we especially like in Mr Sillery is, that his style is formed

"His memory is stored with recent and diversified reading, which is freely given out in his copious and curious illustrative notes, and which likewise appears abundantly in the course of the poem. We have met with no finer description of the approach of morning, even in Lucretius, than the following.-It affords us unfeigned pleasure to have it'in our power to state, that his feelings are ardent and excellent, that his piety is pure and devout, and that his views of religion are enlightened and evangelical.-His poem, all things considered, is an extraordinary performance."-Edinburgh Evening Post. "We confidently predict that Vallery will be a standard work, and a great favourite with the public."-Caledonian Mercary.

Mr Sillery, with a warmth of gratitude that redounds to his bonour, has dedicated his two volumes to his Excellency Baron G. A. P. Van Der Capellen, late Governor-General of the Indian possessions belonging to the King of the Netherlands, in whose company he returned from the East, and who was the first person of distinction who patronized his juvenile muse.-The mutations of his boyhood have given a versatility to his muse that it would not be easy to parallel: It leaps like lightning from land to land, and from sea to sea, it wanders into all variety of rhythm; and it transmutes into verse all sorts of top es, however recondite. There is a piling of armoura marshalling of brand and banner-am apparelling of maidens-a glittering of gems a clustering of fruits a grouping of trees-s strewing of flowers-a tinting of skies-a smiling of seas, and a tossing of waves, such as no other poem that we are acquainted with exhibits. indeed, we have not discovered one loose or indecorous sentiment, -As evidence of the genuine piety that pervades "Vallery," in which, we quote the following apostrophe to NATURE. Mr Sillery's reating has been immense, and no serap that could illustrate his poem has escaped him, whether buried in the musty tomes of departed genius, or floating down to oblivion with the ephemeral literature of the day. Not satisfied with copious quotations, he refers the reader to nearly a hundred works, ancient and modern, illustrative of Chival ry, which may be advantageously consulted."-Edinburgh Observer. "There are numerous lines which we could quote as specimens of fine poetic power and feeling. He possesses a creditable portion of information and learning,-his mind is obviously well cultivated,-his sentiments are faultless,-his imagination is ardent,-and his genius is built upon the solid foundations of extensive literary acquirements."

This very able work of Professor Jahn, one of the most learned of Continental biblical scholars, has long been a desideratum in the English language. In presenting, therefore, the excellent work of Dr Jahn to the English Reader, Mr Stowe has performed a very acceptable service, and deserves great praise both for undertaking so laborious a task, and for the creditable manner in which he has executed it. No biblical student should be without it, and it may be read with interest and profit by the general enquirer."-Monthly Review, June, 1829.

VALLERY; or, The CITADEL of the LAKE.

"Never were mottoes to a work more strikingly descriptive of its prevailing characteristics of purpose and execution, than those which have been sekcted to herald Vallery, by its author. The passing inspiration of the hour has led to a series of varied and curious experiments in measure, the diversity of which is greater than we ever remember to have met with in any other narrative poem.-With a daring that has something bold and redeeming in it, even blank verse is, for the first time, interspersed with rhyme in the splen did Mosaic, along which the stream of story sparkling flows with a brightness that confuses us, and a bubbling musie, that almost makes amends for the foamy obscurity sometimes that mars its clearness.-It is needless to detail the story of a splendid series of pageants. Let the play-wrights and opera-composers look to that It would make a gorgeous spectacle, as it makes a dazzling romance -displaying a rare and varied lore, altogether extraordinary in se young a man."-Glasgow Free Press.

"Every form which English verse is capable of assuming has been employed. Mr Sillery has resided in India; all his pages glow with eastern scenery; our eyes are dazzled-blinded with the overpower ing lustre of eastern gems, eastern birds, insects, fruits, and flowers,

our senses oppressed with eastern perfume and the songs of the bul

bul. Mr Sillery is a youthful bard,' with a memory stored with the productions of our best poets, with a mind alive to all the bear ties of nature."-La Belle Assemblée.

bound.

The rapid sale of the first Edition of the Scottish Tourist is a decided proof of the superiority both of its plan and execution over any similar work. The second Edition, besides being illustrated by four new Plates, will be found to contain very considerable Additions and Improvements.

"We have no hesitation in praising it, since we happen to know that the most distinguished personage in literature, whom Scotland can or ever could boast of, has deliberately pronounced it to be the best book of its kind that has fallen into his hands. It is chiefly remarkable for skilful condensation of much matter, which has lost none of its value by undergoing that process--accurate and extensive historical knowledge, and elegance and vigour of diction. The formation of the plan of the work, and its various details, and the preparatory study, must have cost much more labour than the composition itself; for a plan more perfect-embracing such a variety of objects (all that is interesting and curious in Scottish scenery)-and showing the geographical relations in which these objects, and the roads conducting to them, stand to each other, never came under our observation.""The value of the whole work is much enhanced by a number of the inventor.-Each of these is devoted to an endre tour, occupies a Maps, upon such a truly original and ingenious plan as do credit to page, and consists of three columns, in which are distinctly traced all the places of any note, (mountains, lakes, rivers, towns, villages, villas, &c.) along the route to be pursued, their relative distances, and the roads that diverge from the route."-Caledonian Mercury, 11th May, 1829.

"Those, however, who desire to extend their knowledge of Loch Lomond, I would refer to Stirling and Kenney's Tourist's Guide of 1827-one of the best books of the kind I have met with."-Scotsman, 16th April, 1828.

BUTLER'S COOLING APERIENT POW

DERS,-produce an extremely refreshing Effervescing Drink, preferable to Soda, Seidiitz, or Magnesia Water, and at the same time A MILD AND COOLING APERIENT, peculiarly adapted to promote the healthy action of the Stomach and Bowels, and thereby prevent the recurrence of Constipation and Indigestion, with all their train of consequences, as Depression, Flatulence, Acidity or Heartburn, Headache, Febrile Symptoms, Eruptions on the Skin, &c. &c. and by frequent use will obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salts, and other violent medicines, which tend to debilitate the system. When taken after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the table, particularly after too much wine, the usual disagreeable effects are altogether avoided. In warm climates they will be found extremely beneficial, as they prevent accumulation of Bile, and do not debilitate.
