from very respectable people that lie Was a succeashil prate-

that was to produce an external illness for the purpose of
drawing off an internal disraae. Would not have made a
wound se large as this on the hack under the circum-
"meek Front what be had seen since death,
Ate flOnot think he should have beat justified
in making so large a wound. Consumption consisted of
tabucles of the lung. Ilia conduct is treatment would

ether branches of a patient had died of a consump-
tion, but not so much as to be induced to make such a large
etcher as thia veal.

It was eAdtntly thickened at the pact where it was dis-
coloured, but had no other appearance of disease. The
card itself Was not at all affected. The examination was
next directed to the head. On removing the skull-cap, the

MURPHY'S RUDIMENTS OF ASTRONOMY. Svc),

LONDON, 1830.
The science of Astronomy derives its present
14,14 and dignity from the accurate observa-
I4ma of the philosophers of the 17th century ;
nee that period little has been done to enlarge
Ittlmundaries, for scientific men have been more
"Ployed in systematizing the discoveries of
4 era than searching for new facts of their own.
"ithout depreciating the merits of mathemati-
ca formulae, or denying the advantages that
have
resulted to this delightful science from the
application of a powerful analysis, it may be
f
frlY doubted whether we have not too sud-
denly laid aside a patient attention to the opera.
