 intellectual hivalids may be regarded 

 only as nurseries for and manufactories 

 of madness; magazines or reservoirs of 

 lunacy, from which is issued, from time 

 to time, a sufUcient supply for pepetua- 

 ting and extending this formidable 

 disease, — a disease which is not to be 

 remedied by stripes, or strait-waistcoats, 

 by imprisonment or imiioverishment, 

 but by an unwearied tenderiicss, and by 

 an unceasing and anxious superiu- 

 tendance."

In the general dereliction of principle 

 which has attended our periodical mis- 

 cellanies, we are happy to be able to 

 refer our readers to the Eclectic Review, 

 as a work which continues iu able hands, 

 and which, from its conduct in critical 

 times, seems likely ii merit the confi- 

 dence of the friends of liberty. The 

 equivocal and temporizing conduct of 

 the once " respectable and widely circu- 

 lating" RIonthhj Review, has served to 

 betray the cause of which it formerly 

 was a guardian, and to do more injury 

 to the principles of civil and religious 

 liberty than the most malignant acts of 

 its sworn enemies.

 cluded in the pages of a periodical mis- 

 cellany. It will be j)reccded by a gene- 

 ral view of tlie plan of tlic work, and 

 strictures on the manner in which difle- 

 rent parts have been executed ; and will 

 be printed in the same size and type,

 companion to it.
