The second edition of this popular work, de scriptive of Scottish manner. and character, lons jast made its appearance, with the mute of the author, Doctor Peter Morris, of Pensharpe Hall, Aberystwith. The new edition is dedicated to the Lord Bisbon of St. David's, and there is au " Epis tle Liminary" to Mr. Davies, of the extensive firm of Cadell and Davies, in which the author chews his friendship for Mr. D. and his partner, by a cor dial invitation to the good cheer of Isis table, and al plenty of good claret." 'The author is evidently one of these convivial and hospitable men, who while enamoured with "'the feast of reason and the flow of soul," does not forget, like Frederick the Greet (as he is termed), that a good table and good cheer, are an excellent preparatory, or even accompanying relish for intellectual gratification. Dr. Morris has great powers of description, with an original turn of thinking. In his narrative, his style is familiar —he writes for the stoic as well as the epicurean philosopher, and there is no event, however com mon, in the ordinary round of a traveller's route, from his taking up his abode at the Black Bull in Edinburgh, to his getting good old port at Oman's Hotel, and from thence to his agreeable recognition of au old college friend, who gave him an excellent (Loner of sheep's head, and washed it dawn with " a glass of rare Sherry," and instructed him with much information of the chivalry and heraldry of " olden tittles"—there is ins event of this kind that is not in all its parts recorded with detailed pre cision. With this exquisite relish for every thing that is goad, an open. and hospitable, and cheerful temper, giving and takitig in the course of his tour, and visiting the most distinguished society, it is impos sible hut that a man of 1)r. Morris's varied powers could not luive written is very agreeable hook. He has done so, and illustrated the second edition with some specimens of his graphic powers in the poi traiture of the distinguished literary characters whom lie visited iii Scotland ; they are tasteful specimens of his skill in the arts, but we prefer the portraits of his pen to those of his pencil. Doctor Morris its* a good taste and n strong feeling for the arts; hat lie seems indillerent, or rather unit quainte.l with, the mechanical agency through which an artist must work particular effect. His description of the fine expression of President Blait's statue, by Chantry, shews his . freling and general disc • t' —he admires the grandeur of the attitude, and inimitable form of the head; but then " the drapery is very faulty—it is narrow atid scanty, and appears to cling to the limbs like the wet tunic of the Venus Anadyomene." The Doctor must have seen the statue in a very had light, cud therefore thought that drapery, which is delicate and flowing, was 4' narrow and scanty ;" otherwise we are persuaded lie 'lever would have pronomiced am opinion which, on better observe tMii, his own gond tulle would have corrected. AV e have already said, that we prefer the portraits of the u :tor'a peas to those of his pencil ; his re mark. upon Dr. Mayfair, whose death is now so universally lamented. are extremely interesting. They met before slimier at. Mr. Jeffrey's, and the Profesor forgot his age iu.veirturing upou youthful exei eises " lint the greatest wonder of the whole was Mr. He also is ■ short man, and be cannot be less than seventy, yet be Mint his stand With the assurance a an athletic, and positively heat every one of es—the very best of us, at least half a beet's breadth. I Was quite thunderstruck, never having heard the lent hint of his being so great a genme. trician—it, thissenae of the word. I was, however, I must own, agreeably surprised by. such a specimen of buoyant spirit moil mnaclar strength in so venerable an old gentleman, and could tint forbear from complimenting him on his revival of the ancient peripatetic i.kas, about the necessity of culti vating the external as well as the internal energies, and of mixing the activity of the practical with that of the con templative life. Ile took what I said with great suavity; and, indeed. I have never seen a better specimeu of that easy hilarity an/I good humour, which sits with so much grace fulness on an ktiouured old age. I wish I mold give you a notion of hot face. It is nut marked by any vrry striking features ; but the wastes of mildness of dispositi 1111 l and strength of intellect in the rxpressinn, is too remarkable tip be unnoticed even by a casual observer. His habits of pro- Coned thought have drawn some deep lines Omni his month, and given him a etistom of holding his lips vial closely shut, otherwise I 'novice' the whole countenattee would have been nothing more Orin an amiable one; although the light eyes have certainly at times something vrry piercing in their glance, evru ilwough his spectacles. The forehead is very finely developed—singularly broad across the temple., as, according to Spoithrim, all mathematical Ail-chi-ails mast be; but the beauty 64 that quarter i■ rather of an rid ele►en character." After speaking; of !blr.

There is something in the certsiuty and precision of the es. act , riciices, which communicants stillness to the mind, and which, by calling in our thoughts from their own giddy and often harassing rounds, harmoniles our nature the se reuity of intellectual pleasure. The influence of such studies is very well exemplified in the deportment of this professor. In lecturing be etpreasei himself in an easy sad leisurely manner, highly agreeable to the listener, although he does not seem lo study continuity or flow of diction, and &bismuth Isis delivery is sometimes a good deal impeded by hesitation will, retied to the *beds he is lo employ. I have already de scribed his featasers to you ; but perh►ps (Isar effect was filter while he was engaged in this way, than I bad before been prepared to find. I think one may tract In his phy siognomy a great oral of that fine intellectoil tulle, *hick dictated the illustrations of the Huttoniaa Theory.' Doctor Morris is a lover of the arousing study of Craniology, on which he gives some curious disqui sitions iu the course of his work. Speaking of the remarkable mesa of the day, who are small in stn. titre, and alluding to Jeffrey, and Campbell, and Moore, he adds— our OWU time, we bare more than one striking instance of the Mesa magna ix torpors parrot'—Boni. parte himself for one; and by the way, be is the only little mau I tver saw, who seemed to be oncimariouv, or careless, or iliadainful of the circumstance. Almost all other persons of that description appear to labour tinder a continual and distressing feeling that nature has dime them injustice, and not • few of thesis strive to make up for her defects, by bold. Mg their hes& as high as possible, and even giving au we. comfortable elevation or projection to the chin, all which has a very mean effect spun their ■ir and attitude, and is particularly hurtful to the features or the face, moreover— because it les&A to reverse the arrangement of nature, and to throw all those parts into light which she bas meant to be in shade. It is exactly the same sort of thing that we all remark on the stage, where the absurd manner in which the lamps are placed, under the feet of the performers, has such a destructive effect, that few actors, except those of the Kemble blood, appear to have any better than snub noses. Now, Napoleon has not the least of this trick; but, on the contrary, carries his head almost constantly is a stooping posture, nod m. preserves and even increases the natural effect of his grand formation about the eyebrows, and the beautiful classical cut of his mouth and chin— though, to be sure, his features are so fine that nothing could take much from their power —Rut, to come back to our own small men, J-- has a good deal of this unhappy manner, mid so loses ranch of what his features, such as they are, might be made to convey." (Tb be eewlixiced.) ---- HILLV ANCIENT GREECE. The following extract on the above work is copied from The Ediatergh Monthly Review:- 6 , We have read this small work with very consi derable pleasure. The author has selected. us the subject of the different essays with which he has fa voured the public, some of the most striking par ticulars connected with the institutions, the man tiers, and the history of Greece, and. by detailing these fully and perspicuously, he has furnished to the classical student much information most useful fur illustrating the invaluable works to which his atteutioes is devoltd. The necessity of spending time, which can ill be spared, in searching the h e avy and voluminous works that have been com posed on the Grecian history, will thus, to the young scholar, be superseded ; and, what is of more con sequence, he will be saved from having recourse to abridgments, in general the most tise;rss and un satisfactory of all productions. The volume may also reca I to those, who, amidst the busiue.s and acti vity of life, have forgotten the elegant and delight ful pursuits of their earlier days, many events and trains 4.f thought, which, associated with the season of youth and of happiness, can never be viewed without tender and agreeable emotion, end in this respect may he acceptable to a much mar! exieri ! sive circle thau that for which it was principally designed. " The Essays contain the substance of a course ' of Lectures which the respectable author. its the faithful discharge of his duty as Professor of Greek in the University of St. Andrew's, has for many years delivered to his pupils; sad they are now published ; he informs us, in the hope, must natu rally cherished by one who has beet' so lung engaged in the important work of education, that they way be of service to those *home prosecuting the study of Grecian literature.
