respect to the memory of the deceased; but the request v. all
most respectfully declined, as the deceased had expressly re-
quested that the funeral should be unaccompanied by any
ostentatious display. The principal mourners on the melan-
choly occasion were Colonel Malcolm, Captain Malcolm,
J. G. Malcolm, Esq., N. Malcolm,Esq., Major-General
Sir Charles William Pasley, K.C.8., Captain W. A. B.
Hamilton, R.N. Admiral Thomas Brown, RN., and several
other distinguiled naval and military officers in the neigh-
bourhood. The vessels near Brighton lowered their flags
half-mast high, and the tradesmen closed tbeir shops in the
line of procession until the ceremony was over, as a mark of
respect to the gallant officer's memory.
The Hon. Stephen Spring Rice, one of the Com-
missioners of Customs, who has been seriously indisposed, is
so far recovered as to expect shortly to be enabled to resume
his official duties.

LITERATURE,
LETTERS TO A CANDID Ili QUIRER ON
ANIMAL MAGNETISM. By
Gre-
g6ry, AID., R.S.E., Professor of Chemistry in
the University of _Etlihlourch.
F.
This is the first attempt that has been made to give
to the world a systematic work on the subject of mes-
merism, or, as Dr. Gregory prefers to designate it,
animal magnetism. It is very true that Dr. Elliot-
, son has, in his excellent work on physiology,
entered somewhat at large into the subject, and that
by his indefatigable labours in the cause of mesmeric
science and his invaluable communications in the Zoist,
he may fairly claim the honour of having done more,
much more for the science, than either Mesmer himself
or any of his followers ; but he has not given us a
systematic work on the subject (he has employed his
time in a manner much more conducive to the pro-
gress of the science), and neither the works of Messrs.
Townsend, Sandby, Scoresby,
Esdaile, Mayo, or
Miss Martineau, admirable as they are, are
altogether calculated to supplY the want
which all students have felt, that, namely,
of a systematic treatise on mesmerism which should
methodize and arrange the various phenomena which
have been observed. That want is surplY sup"
plied by the Letters now under review. The work
is divided into two parts • in the first part Dr. Gre-
gory gives us a general' description and analysis of
the phenomena, and in the second part he gives us
various facts and cases, with observations thereon.
The first three letters are devoted to the consideration
of the various objections usually urged against animal
magnetism ; having disposed of which, the author
proceeds to describe and analyze the various Ow
nomena, from the simple magnetic sleep up to te.
state of ecstacism. His observations on the danger of
rash experiments, and on the doubtfulness of the .
vantage of public exhibitions, should be attentively
considered by all who desire to study animal nag:
netism as a science. The author having gene
at
length into the subject of phreno-magnetism pro-
ceeds to consider the action of magnets, crystals,
&c., on the human frame, and then gives
an admirable resume of the researches of Reichen•
baeh, and of his discovery of a universally
diffused force, to which he gives the name of Odyle,
and which Dr. Gregory proves to be identical with
the magnetic fluid of Mesmer. The first part con'
eludes with several practical hints and cautions to be
observed in conducting experiments. In the
part we have a collection of all the more remarkable
facts and cases, in the course of which the subjects.%
the magic mirror, of the magic crystal and of the
Egyptian magic are fully considered ; as well as
cases of trance, ecstacies, apparitions, and predictions.
It is fortunate for the cause of animal magnetises
that the task of preparing the first systematic workf
on the subject should have fallen into the bands
second
Dr. Gregory, who, by his previous studies and his
admirable translation of Reichenbach's researches, Will
so well qualified to do it justice. This must hence'
forth be the text-book of every scientific inquirer.
