part by Mr. Puget. Many of the prints 
are in a forward state, and those which 
we have seen are in a very superior style; 
but we have not room to enumerate the 
paruculars in this Retrospect. 
Mr. J. V. Smiru, whose Antiquities of 
Westminster we noticed in the last Re- 
trospect, has ewegraved ten additional! 
plates trom drawings, communicated to 
him by subscribers to the work. These 
he means to publish, and among them 
are, a curious plan ot the Palace at 
Whitehall, as it was at the time of King 
Charles the Second; and a. bird’s-eye 
elevation of the same, exhibiting all the 
apartments of the King aud Royal Fa- 
mily, as described by Grammont. Of this 
there is no other view that can be de- 
pended upon; that engraved by. Hollar 
was from a view taken on the river, and 
displays it only as it appeared from the 
water; the views here given comprehend 
the whole building, Charing Cross, ex- 
hibiting a view of Cromweil’s Palace, 
which stood on the site of Mr. Dram- 
mond’s, the banker. The Decoy in St.

Cases of semi-insanity still continue to 
occupy a large flare of the Reporter’s 
professional attention. 
Vicissitude, in this species of indispo- 
sition, constitutes one of the most re- 
markable points in its character. There

The variations of this disease in 
many Cases recur aS punctually as 
the hot and cold stages of ‘an intermit-

by no means exclusively to the unequi- 
vocally and nominally insane, but like- 
wise to those whose constitutions are ims 
pregnated with the seeds, without their 
characters having as yet been tainted 
with the ignominy of madness. It is

elude the vigilance, or bé concealed from 
the sagacity of any but an experienced 
and well-educated eve. 
Sudden and apparently causeless ele- 
vations, and equally abrupt and unrea- 
-sonable deciensions of vivacity, marky a 
morbid condition of the intellectual frame.
