CRITICAL NOTICES. 



" • • • Comprehensive as its title is, the Editor and his Correspon- 

 dents energetically fulfil the promised variety; and we cordially recommend 

 the work, as deserving extensive patronage." — The Philanthropist. 



" This elegant publication fully maintains its high scientific and literary 

 character. Some unusually interesting papers, and a detailed account of the 

 proceedings at different provincial societies, make the present number parti- 

 cularly valuable. We doubt whether, since its establishment, The Analyst 

 has ever appeared with greater strength and effect." — Gloucestershire Chron. 



"■ Many of the Articles are first-rate of their respective kinds, and such as 

 no periodical, however great its reputation, might not feel proud of produc- 

 ing. The Analyst, indeed, may now take its rank among the highest scien- 

 tific journals of the day, without incurring the charge of presumption." — 

 Cheltenham Chronicle. 



" We have been much struck with Mr. Langston Parker's Lecture " On 

 the Effects of certain Mental and Bodily States upon the Imagmation ;" 

 which forms the subject of the first article in the present number of Tfie 

 Analyst. It displays much reading, great natural capacity, and uncommon 

 powers of acute discrimination. • • * * By the Painter, the Sculptor, 

 the Phrenologist, the Naturalist, and the Chemist, the work will be highly 

 prized, and that most deservedly. • • • • The Reports of the Pro- 

 ceedings of various literary and scientific Societies are very fully given.— 

 Of sucn Societies The Analyst is the best existing organ." — Sun.
