the temple of Fame; they are chiefly recent

class, are probably the friends of the wri- 
ter. We find Wordsworth, Shelley, 
Keats, John Clare, Horace Smith, Barry 
Cornwall, and Leigh Hunt, in almostevery 
page; but, strange to tell, althongh, the 
book is a Flower-Garden, the name of 
Dr. Darwin is never once. mentioned, 
The Poppy serves to introduce a puffing 
panegyric ou the ‘Confessions of an Opi- 
nm-Eater ;” and Tobacco gives us the fol- 
lowing verses by Charles Lamb. 
* For thy sake, Tobacco, 1 
Would do any thing but die, 
And but seek to extend my days 
» Long enonghi to sing thy praise.” 
The Sketches in Bedlam is a catch-penny 
a deserving the severest repro- 
ation. ‘Lhe conduct and the ravings: of 
140 maniacs are printed for the amuse- 
ment of the public, without the least re- 
gard to the feelings of their relatives, or to 
their own, wlien they recover from their 
disease. Some of the persons here held up 
to the curiosity of the public, with their 
names and designations, are already dis- 
charged; and may have the opportnnity 
of reading with horror the history of their 
former degradation. ‘The writer says that 
~ he is a daily witness of those scenes, which 
he describes in the same vulgar language 
and flippant manner as if he were the 
keeper of a menagery. The book is dedi- 
eated to the governors and managers of 
Bethlem Hospital, and contains the known 
rules of admission; besides other docu- 
ments transcribed from the books of the 
Institution. The whole is thus made to 
assume an official air, which renders it 
either a disgrace to, or a libel upon, the 
managers. Some of the descriptions are 
so filthy and so disgustingly obscure, that 
they could not possibly have appeared 
in print had the proofs been revised by the 
publishers.
