CRITICAL NOTICES. 



" Our provincial friend, * The Analyst,' is really growing up a fine fellow ; 

 although still somewhat graver than we think becoming a person at his time 

 of life. We hail the first flight of ' Lionel Lackland' as propitious. Let him 

 only tal?e care that he does not soar too high — a fault, by the way, very com- 

 mon of late. The reviews and literary notices are both numerous and tastefully 

 executed." — S^m. 



" ^ Studetit, may find the particular objects of his inquiry agreeably and 

 ingeniously treated in the last number of 'The Analyst,' (a very valuable, en- 

 tertaining, useful, literary, scientific, and critical monthly publication,) under 

 the head of a Critical Notice of a Lecture on the Nature and Properties of 

 Atmospheric Air and Water, by Mr. Woolrich, Lecturer on Chemistry, &c., in 

 the Birmingham School of Medicine. The critical notices of new publications, 

 and of scientific dissertations and lectures, which form a very prominent 

 department in * The Analyst' would do credit to any periodical, and cannot fail 

 to be duly appreciated by a discerning and reading community." — Liverpool 

 Mtrcury. 



** This is a little periodical which seems to increase in interest with its 

 growth. Its character and its pretensions are quite in keeping withthe niche 

 which it aspires to fill." — Liverpool Courier. 



" ' The Analyst' — has taken a rapid stride in advance this month. * Lionel 

 Lackland' is a specimen of writing and thought far above the ordinary cast. 

 The subject of ' Poetesses' is very delicately and judiciously handled ; nor must 

 we exclude from our just tribute of praise a very scholar-like review of 

 ' Mitchell's Acharnenses of Aristophanes.' * The Analyst' has gained ground, 

 and seems determined upon keeping possession of every inch, as also ready to 

 extend its conquests far beyond their present limits." — Gloucestershire Chroni- 

 cle. 



'* As a monthly journal of science, literature, and the fine arts, this miscella- 

 ny is an honour to the county (Worcester) whence it originates ; and it affords 

 us sincere pleasure to record its increasing success and patronage, which, if 

 they continue to be commensurate with the literary and scientific merits of the 

 work, cannot fail to ensure to the Analyst a degree of prosperity and public 

 favour fully equal to that enjoyed by most of its metropolitan contemporaries. 

 A paper ' On the Culture of the Vine in England in former periods,' is particu- 

 larly interesting, particularly in Gloucestershire, where, according to the old 

 chroniclers there were ' many vineyards,' " — Cheltenham Chronicle. 



"This is a monthly journal of science, literature, and the fine arts, printed 

 at Worcester, and published in London. We have perused several of the 

 articles of the April number with much pleasure. They are, for the most part, 

 written with taste and elegance, and are calculated to amuse and instruct. The 

 liest article is the one entitled 'Poetesses.' So much are we pleased with it 

 that its length alone prevents us from copying it into our pages. The review 

 of Mr. Thomas Roscoe's ' Wanderings through North Wales,' contains a beau- 

 tiful eulogy on the character of that popular writer's father, the lamented 

 William Hoscoe." — Liverpool Albion. 



" The successful career of this useful and entertaining periodical, renders all 

 comments from us superfluous. * * * We need only call the attention of the 

 reader to the exquisitely written article on the ' Poetesses ;' and we hesitate not 

 to assert, that the critical acumen, the sterling original essays, and the chaste 

 style of 'The Analyst,' entitle it to rank with the best magazines in circula- 

 tion." — Hereford Times.
