MONTHLY CHRONICLE.
MWe received this number at so late an hour on
onday, that we were unable to notice it on our
Magazine Day." It contains several clever articles,
foremost among which we may mention '• pathology of
!he Human Mind," which is a critical Essay, suggested
°Y a work under that title, written by Dr. Mao.
'this essay treats on insanity, its causes and y
its cure,
in a subtle and reflecting spirit. In " ,
Ireland and Lord
Normanby," no more than justice is done to the Admin-
istration of the late Viceroy, of whom it is said with
truth, that for " numerous and appalling evils, he found
a remedy in his own sincerity, integrity, and justice,
his excellent judgment, in his high and indomit in
courage, personal and moral, and in the able gene roes reli-
ance which he placed upon the character of a peo
Who have ever been distinguished for the depth
ande
ardour of the gratitude." The writer adds, " But,
Perhaps the most remarkable advantage conferred by
Lord Mulgrave upon the cause of public order in Ireland,
w4g tb. e suppression of what were called in that country
moase:lon fights," the existence of which, tended in a
1014, eminent degree to barbarize the combatants,
Rios,' they violated the public peace and security to a
st; dreadful extent." In the brief Memoir of
Lwar°ll"--which we suppose will be continued—
ie. have an account of some of the Turkish and
wriZe:4ll::Eiligns of this eminent Russian butcher. The
imp, • Ju
°II fain make him out a hero, but this is
ous Suwaroff, though a brave and adventur-
ar t
oefftmander, was by no means a mato er in the
`'ears., war; and his atrocious cruelties at Ismael and
artles'-w, must ever fix a stain on the memory of this
of
this buffoon. " Shelley," is an essay on the genius

and ha 'F

HISTORY OF BRITISH BIRDS.—PART
The wood-Cuts in this Number are engraved with a
skill that reminds us of old Bewick, who was remarka-
ble for his ability in this department of art. The lite-
rary- department is written by Mr. Yarrell, the editor,
who is every way qualified for the task of superinten-
dence.

GREECE—PICTORIAL, DESCRIPTIVE,
The editor of this elegant work is Dr. Wordsworth,
who has himself travelled in Greece, is a first-mite
Greek scholar. and evidently fond of the task here al-
lotted him. We need scarcely add, after having said
thus much, that the work before us is by far the best
of its kind that has been published.
