588 MONTHLY REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND ART. 



who are strangely beguiled into the idea that they are enlightening the 

 beclouded world with their lucubrations fardlings, frantic novelists, and 

 such like these we treat after our peculiar fashion j but otherwise, we are 

 quite innocent of any attempts upon the health of our fellow-creatures to 

 the best of our knowledge. We, however, will very gladly avail ourselves 

 of this opportunity to hand over the above cases, for few have cut their 

 " wisdom teeth/' as peculiarly suitable to the care of Dr. Ashburner, and 

 sincerely trust that " he will make the best of them." The Medical Ga- 

 xette, in which it seems this work for the most part has been already 

 published, is a good authority for its excellence and the medical world 

 speak highly of the author. 



TRUTH'S TRIUMPH. A POEM ON THE REFORMATION. BY C. R. 

 BOND. J. HATCHARD. 



MB. BOND, we have little doubt, is a very excellent gentleman ; but we 

 are candidly of opinion that he is not destined to supply the place of the 

 departed Coleridge. We are not at present in the possession of any reason 

 why he should lament it ; for the profession affords but indifferent bread 

 and cheese, after all, for the mastication of poetic enthusiasts. Mr. Bond 

 has our best wishes, and, therefore, we desire him a speedy extrication 

 from the grasp of the Muses. We have long since considered the poverty- 

 stricken old ladies fit subjects for the workhouse, but are doubtful as to 

 their eligibility under the operation of the new poor laws. 



We have received a valuable work called " A Collection of Geological 

 Facts intended to elucidate the formation of the Ashley Coal-field. By 

 Edward Mammatt, F.G.S.," the notice of which we must postpone till 

 next month, that a more careful attention may be given to it. 



" The Tourist's Guide through the Swiss and Italian Cantons," is one of 

 the best and cheapest works of art that we have lately seen. It contains 

 four steel engravings illustrating Swiss scenery of first-rate merit for 2s. 



" Leaves from the Memorandum Book of Alfred Crowquill" contain a 

 series of exquisitely comic designs. 



One of the most curious specimens of an almanack is published by Mr. 

 Charles Tilt for one penny. He calls it " The Hat Almanack/' being of a 

 circular shape to fit the crown of a hat it is quite unique.
