" Mr. Bannantine in this last Volume avows himself the
Editor as well as one of its Precursors; and says that notwith-
standing the arbitrary remark, that the Scotch are deficient-
in wit, he has ventured on the task, of compilinrand circu-
lating not only his own wit, but that of others, though he
had the misfortune to be born beyond the Tweed.
" Mr. B— is undoubtedly a striking instance _of the
falsity of this remark, as his Work will be found to contain
much true attic wit, a vast fund of mirth, and genuine amuse-
ment, Sec. &c."—Vide Monthly Review for January last.
