EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS. 
bingered by truth. Our object and our watchword are but 
one — The advancement of our Profession. Our faith 
and our confidence are strong, and may it never be ours 
“ to dash the cup of expectation from the lip.” 
It may not have been observed that with the present 
volume a New Series of this journal was entered on. Its 
necessity was seen at the beginning of the year, so that 
it will constitute a favorable period for those to commence 
taking -this work who hitherto might have hesitated to do so, 
from a dislike to possess a journal which probably would 
have been incomplete. 
And now that our little bark is fairly launched on the 
waves of public opinion, may we have the good fortune to 
ce take the tide at its flood to catch the favoring breeze, and 
so to shift the sails, when varying gusts arise, that period- 
ically she may return richly laden with the fruits of mental 
industry and observation ; thus adding to the intellectual 
stores of those for whom we willingly labour. 
We well know the truthfulness of the poet’s expression, 
that “ it is not in mortals to command success,” but “ may 
we do more — deserve it for soon too, with us, the sands of 
time will have run out, and “the wearied springs of life 
stand still.” 
OUR REVIEWS. 
. . . Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss. 
Let such teach others who themselves excel. 
And censure freely, who have written well. 
Of all the causes which inspire to blind 
Man’s erring judgment, and misguide the mind, 
What the weak head with strongest bias rules 
Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools. 
Whatever nature has in worth deny’d, 
She gives in large recruits of needful pride.
