borne of Dumfries delivered a course of lectures on Anthropology at Thornhill. These lectures are stated to contain novel and interesting views on that subject, but as no report of them is given, we are unable to form an opinion on this point.

We have received a copy of the Doncaster Chronicle, containing a letter from Dr John Brown, Worksop, addressed to the late Dr Macnish of Glasgow, calling attention to an error which the latter gentleman had fallen into respecting the musical prodigy known by the name of the Infant Lyra, whom he states, in his edition of Brigham on Mental Cultivation, to have died in consequence of over exertion of a naturally active brain. Dr Brown informs him that the young lady is alive and in good health. We doubt not that our lamented friend had what he considered good authority for believing the circumstances to be such as he states; and he would have been happy to have corrected any error into which he may have inadvertently fallen. We must remark, however, that we do not consider Dr Brown's strictures on what he considers to be the views of phrenologists regarding education in childhood to be at all called for. Phrenologists do not object to infant education; they have, on the contrary been, in this country, its earliest and most zealous advocates. But while they have exerted themselves to render that education more practical and effective, they have ever cautioned the public against its abuse. Notwithstanding the instances which Dr Brown cites, of precocious children being early occupied in mental tasks, and yet continuing to display eminent abilities in adult age, we must still retain our conviction of the hurtfulness of overtasking the young mind; and in this opinion we are borne out by the recorded experience of nearly the whole of the medical profession. Indeed, that much evil results from the manner in which the majority of seminaries are still conducted, is a fact which we do not expect to see contested. If Dr Brown does not approve of the exercising of the intellectual faculties to the neglect of the other mental and bodily powers, it is possible that his opinion on that point and ours are very much alike, for of this we cannot well judge, as he is by no means explicit as to the mode in which he would employ the minds of the young. In conclusion, we would call Dr Brown's attention to the fact, that the text of Dr Brigham applies to the United States of America in which infant education is pushed to a much more extreme degree, and the evils of great mental excitement much more severely felt than in this country. Dr Brown will perceive, then, that in supposing Phrenologists in this country to be hostile to early training he is mistaken; the point contested between them and other educational writers is of what nature that training ought to be.

STAR IN THE EAST, OR WISBECh and East of England GazeTTE.It is much to be wished that our newspaper press would employ itself more in diffusing solid and moral information in regard to matters of importance in daily life, rather than occupy itself entirely in the discussion of party politics, and in pampering the depraved taste for accounts of robberies and murders existing among the middle classes of this country. We have always experienced much pleasure in looking into the journal whose title is prefixed to this notice, not only on account of the very moral tone which pervades all its contents, but also on account of the valuable articles which it contains on various subjects connected with morals and education. We had intended to lay before our readers several extracts from one of a series of articles on education, but are prevented from doing so by the great influx of matter for our present number.

THE MURDERER GREENACRE-We learn that Dr Elliotson has had an opportunity of examining the head of this notorious criminal, and considers it to be one of the most villanous he ever saw, and in complete accordance with his character.

To CORRESPONDENTS.-We have received communications from "A London Phrenologist," and Mr E. J. Hytch, too late, however, for this Number. C. B.'s communication is in the same predicament.

We have also several articles prepared which we have not found room to insert.
