number. This, therefore, has already spoken for itself in our pages, and 
has been received with warm interest and gratification by the public. 
The eulogium of Judge: White is a delightful composition, replete with 
eloquence and literary beauty, and warm with affectionate respect for 
the great philosopher whom it commemorates. Being the production of 
a townsman and cotemporary, like Mr. Young’ s, it presents graphic 
sketches of his life and character, both in the forming and mature 
stages, and does equal honor to the head and heart of the writer, and to 
his noble subject. 
The eulogium of Mr. Pickering is a obit, dual composition, alto- 
gether worthy of its author, (and this is no stinted praise. 
- In unity with the character of the learned body before which it was 
delivered, and of which Dr. Bowditch was president, it presents, as 
its peculiar characteristics, a masterly analysis of the scientific labors 
of this eminent man. Performed in the midst of arduous and respon- 
sible business, and of numerous social engagements and duties, which 
touched his warm heart as much as science filled his clear intellect, his 
philosophical labors were enough to hare absorbed a powerful mind,-un- 
shackled by common cares. It is remarkable, that the eulogist of this em- 
inent man, by the manner in which he has executed his delicate task, 
bringing literature and science into beautiful harmony, should have 
evinced that Dr. Bowditch was not alone in reconciling conflicting du- 
ties. Every wise and good American must feel proud that his country 
has produced a subject of such deserved eulogy, and gifted minds and. 
hearts to appreciate such talents, attainments, and virtues.

17. ‘Dr. Charles T. Sickie? $ ‘Reports on i: Geology of Maine.— 
It has been impossible for us to notice in the present number Dr. Jack- 
son’s very valuable reports, being the second on the geology of Maine, 
and the second also on the geology of the public lands of Maine and 
Massachusetts, 
These reports together occupy about 300 pages, with appropriate illus- 
trations. They correspond with what we might expect from Dr. Jackson, 
being able and perspicuous, and eminently adapted to do honor to the 
State, and to promote its vital interests. 
We trust that the good sense and patriotism of the government of Maine 
vill carry out this noble work until it is entirely finished under Dr. Jack-
