LONDON, WEDNESDAY -EVENING, JANUARY' 23, 1850

Quadroon F' Yet the Americans are sirguitrly
gallant ladies generally ; in evidence of which
characteristic Mrs. Houstoun remarked that if, in
travelling, any gentleman wished a window shut or
opened, or any similar alteration made for his per-
sonal convenience, he invariably used the name cf " a
lady" to ensure the desired favour--" Sir, a lady
would be obliged to you if you would just close that
window," &c. At the magic word of " lady" every-
thing gives place, and thus proceeds Mrs. Hous-
toun :—" If the cars, on leaving the depot, happen to
be full, a single gentleman, who arrives too late for a
good place, may wait in vain for any attempts made
by the passengers to afford him room. On such an oc- j
cvsion, if he is a smart Yankee, and very few of them
are not, he will proclaim aloud (whether the truth
or otherwise no matter) that a lady is expecting him,
and immediately he is invited in !" Speaking of
railway travelling in America, Mrs. Houstoun com-
plains of its slow rate of speed and many interrup-
tions, and while 'lamenting these annoyances, she say,
"It was quite provoking to hear every one repeating,
Well, I expect there's no getting along like this in your
country.'" Her visit to Niagara is related con spirit°,
but she wisely refrains from attempting to paint a
scene better imagined than described. Wordsworth
would heartily • sympathise in her lamentations over
'he artificial comforts to be found in such a romantic
neighbourhood. "We were located in a comfortable
hotel," exclaims Mrs. Houstoun, with pitiable but not
unnatural distress ; "I shouldhave greatly preferred a
wooden shanty ; end this hotel was in a good clean
street! Imagine my dismay at finding myself in an
actual street within a hundred yards of Niagara!,
Opposite the window of the hotel was the post-office ;
and the post• office was also a notion shop, and was
flunked on one side by Allen, the tailor, and on the
other by Quaig, the boot and shoemaker!" After
dwelling upon these grievances, she exclaims, " I had
no patience with the Utilitarian Yankees, and at
that moment could-have seen a fire break out in the!
town rather with satisfaction than otherwise."
Mrs. Houstoun's opinion of the Americans is, on
the whole, a favourable one, but American manners
are, by her showing, greatly deficient in refinement.
Nevertheless, she remarks with astonishment that
in Boston smoking in the streets is by law prohibited.
" Verily," she exclaims, "I could have fancied my-,
self in St. Petersburgh, and certainly in no other of
the cities of Europe would such a law (even if
enacted) be submitted to without resistance." We
have said enough of the contents of "Ilesperoa" to
show that the attractive %and colloquial manner of its
authoress enhances its interesting value as a glimpse
of the men and manner 3 in the West.

THE EDUCATION OF THE FEELINGS.

1 Vol. Second Edition. ,By Charless3;;Y.
The origin of this charming dissertation appears to
have been out of some such reflections on the part of
the author as the following.:—" Immediately children
are entrusted to us, a kind of second education com-
mences in ourselves; all that we say, do, and even
feel, is imitated—we see the' reflex of ourselves in
others, and startled into consciousness by the /ac
simile, frequently for the first time begin to inquire
what we are and what we ought to be." " The ob-
ject," says the author in his preface—" the object of
this presant edition is not so much to assist in the
direct edUcation of children as in this second education
of ourselves"—in other words, to aid the indirect edu-
cation of children. Such a notion we cannot but
regard as strictly philosophic, and the manner in
which Mr. Bray has endeavoured to carry
out his views in the effusion before us
assures us that his own feelings must be
singularly well tutored. The construction of
the work may
be estimated by a merely casual
glance at the table of contents. After a general
consideration of mental constitution, the education of
each feeling is considered separately, and these feelings
are classified under tile following heads :---;The self-
protecting feelings, the self-regarding feelings, the
social affections, the moral feelings, the !Esthetic
feelings, the religious, and the feelings which give',
concentration, power, and permanence to the others,
such, for example, as firmness and imitation. Other
sections are devoted - to the subjects of temper,
punishment, manners, example, authority, and obe-
dience; besides which we must especially particu-
larise an excellent chapter on " The Feeling of the
Ludicrous"—to which we would particularly direct
the attention of mothers, and of all other persons
entrusted with the education of children.

PRINCIPLES OF THE HUMAN MIND,
deduced from Physical Laws; being a Sequel to
"Elements of Electro-Biology," together with the
lecture on the " Voltaic Mechanism of Man,"
delivered at the London Institution, April 11,
1849. By Alfred Smee, F.R.S.
This brochure may be considered the sequel to, or
rather the legitimate deduction from the author's
larger work on Electrorßiology. It appears that
Mr. Smee's work on Electro-Biology has been trans-
lated into French by M.J.Roset, who sent to Mr. Smee
to know whether he desired to make any addition to
the original text, and,ip consequence, Mr. Smee
wrote the short epitome of the "Principles of the
Human Mind," deduced from Electro-Biology, which
is at present under our notice. To this Mr. Smee
has added the " Lecture on Electro-Biology, or the
Voltaic Mechanism of Man," which he delivered at
the London Institution on the 11th April, 1849, and
which contains a popular resume of his discoveries
in - this most important science. The whole
work consists but of 32 pages, but it is, nevertheless,
one of the most important works ever issued from
the press.

STUDY of the MIN D. 1 Vol. By Daniel Bishop.
As an elementary book on metaphysics, the volume
before us will prove invaluable to all beginners, being
designed especially, as the title-page itself informs
us, for the " senior classes in schools." How
admirably has the writer emphasised the uti-
lity of his undertaking by quotations from some
of the greatest thinkers who have existed ! Now he
transcribes the exclamation of the Pere Girard—
" Here is a complete psychology for us to study, a
book ever open, but alas! how little read ; for few
even among the adults are taught its alphabet !"
Now again he repeats the surprise thus expressed by
Dugald Stewart—"lt is astonishing that amidst all
the success with which the subordinate sciences have
been cultivated, this, which comprehends the princi-
ples of all of them, should be still suffered to re-
main in its infancy." He copies reverentially from
the Book of Genesis that memorable verse—" And
God said let us make man in our image, after
our likeness." With St. lugustine he seems to
feel that " there is but one object greater than the
soul, and that one is its Creator." He reminds us
how Channing has said—" The most lamentable
scepticism on earth, and incomparably the most com-
mon, is a scepticism as to the greatness, powers, and
high destinies of human nature." He calls also to
our recollection that glorious panegyric on man
pronounced by the lips of our immortal Shakspere—
" What a piece of work is man! How noble in
reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and
moving bow express and admirable ! In action how
like an angel !
apprehension how like a god !
The beauty of the world ! The paragon of animals !"
To the elucidation of this godlike apprehension of
the beauty of the world, the patagon of animals, Mr.
Bishop has sedulously directed his intellect with all
its energies—and the result of his effort has, in this
admirable volufae, proved signally felicitous.

SPINAL CURVATURE; its Theory ; its Cure :
giving. Description of the Anatomy of the Spine
and the Ports in relation thereto. Illustrated by
Cases and Coloured Plates. By George N. Epps,
Surgeon to Harrison's Spinal Institution, 6-c. 6^c.
To Dr. Harrison is due the credit of having been
the first to banish from the practice of surgery, in all
cases of distortion of the spine, those instruments of
torture, by the wearing of which persons afflicted
with these unhappy distortions had their torments in-
creased, and their disease and deformity aggravated.
By insisting on the patient maintaining entire recum-
bency
of posture, with skilful and judicious pressure
applied in
accordance with scientific principles,
followed by careful rubbing by persons engaged for
the purpose, Dr. Harrison' has succeeded in curing
distortions of the most frightful character, and in
restoring the unfortunate sufferers to perfect health.
Mr. Epps haS succeeded Dr. Harrison in his practice,
and he has given us the r(sults of his. experience in
the present work. His practice has been to the full
as successful as that of Dr. Harrison, and we recom-
mend the attentive study of this. work not only to
every member of the medical profession, but to every
person who is afflicted, or who has friends who are
afflicted, with distortion of the spine. The method
of Dr. Harrison appears to us to be the most simple,
the most reasonable, the most scientific, the most
painless, and, at the same time, the most successful
mode of treatment ever adopted for the cure of
spinal diseases.

The British Consul at Mann, Mr. W. Farren, has
addressed a' letter to Mr. F. Aguirre, of the firm of
Messrs. Mencbacatorre and Co., of that place, owners of
the Spanish ship B&-11a Vascongads, expressing his sense
of the humanity and kindness manifested by Captain
Gorie and the crew ot• ttat vessel to the crew if the
British ship Falcon, which was lost at sea. The cap-
tain of the Falcon, with his wife and child and the crew,
had taken to the boat, and after tossing about at sea for
ten da3 s were picked up by the Bella. Vascongads, when
they were on the verge of starvation. The owners of
the Bella Vascongada had generously forwarded tl
Mr. 1• amen two doubloons for the crew of the Falcon,
expressing a desire to render them further aid if ne-
cessary.
