ful management of fruit-trees; and, as all 
knowledge ‘on such sulijects vis derived 
from experience, we are glad to see it fully 
treated 6f by Mr. Charles Harrison, gar- 
dener “of*“Wortley-hall.'* In an octavo 
volume, sanctioned’ by a° splendid ‘list: of 
snbseribérs; ‘Mr. Hs las’ discussed: the 
entire*subjeéty “* root and branch.” ~The’ 
method of calture, and the disease of trees, 
are*so ‘practically and* clearly ‘diseussed, 
that the/éneral circulation of the volume 
cannot fail'to ‘be eminently useful.) Tt has 
long’ betn ‘our wish to see all’ fire-wood 
trees’ yield'to’ productive ones, and‘thereby 
render mere subsistence a secondary con- 
sideration ina civilized country. 
. The Phrenological Journal, ‘a new quar- 
terly publication, bas just issued from the 
press at Edinburgh. It professes to con- 
tain the ‘essays of the Phrenological’ So- 
elety of that city,—a society newly form- 
ed;and containing among its menibers the 
principal philosophers ‘of Edinbifglr. ‘It 
is a Femarkable circumstance; ‘that, after 
Drs! Gall! aid Spurzheim had laboured to 
founda school of’ phrenology in most of 
the Gapital’towns of Europe without suc- 
cess; the first regularly-organized society 
of ‘eranidlogists should be formed at 
Budinburgli, where the most violent! oppo- 
sition had been made to the new system, 
and where Dr. Spiirzheim found it almost 
impossible ‘to make a single convert. The 
first lecture on -phtenology ever given in 
Edinburgly was‘-read ‘at. the Wernerian 
Society by Dr. Forster, who composed his 
paper ona zoological subject at the re: 
oe of ‘the president himself, Protessor 
‘Janiieson’; 'and ‘numerous craniological 
drawings. were made by the celebrated 
artis¢° Mr, Lizars, aud exhibited to the

woven ‘thé system of human phrenology

bers\of the Society taok offence, and the 
paper’wus not received and published by 
them. “Professor Jamieson paid the most 
polite attention to (ie author of the paper, 
and had previously requested. him to. be- 
come aymember of the Society ; but it 
was fond impossible to stem the torrent 
of prejudice raised against the new doc- 
trine, which seemed’ to ‘have a tendency 
to refer'the apimal and the ‘human intelli- 
gence'to tlie same physical causes. Dr. F. 
determined, theretore, not tobe proposed

of 1816; A few weeks afterwards, Dr. 
Spurzheim afrived in’ Edinburgh; and the 
strange treatment he received is ‘better 
known tothe public already by the print- 
‘ed accountiof it. After all this, it is very 
yewarkable that Edinburgh should bave
