Morton, and a paper by Mr. Cuthbert Johnson, on guano
and its properties, ought to be much read. In the Belle,
Mrs. Cornwall Baron Wilson continues her tale entitled
" The English abroad." Not having received last month's
number of this publication, we can give no
read opinion of the
progress of the story, but from what we
have we think
that if twice the quantity of " English abroad" were given at
a time, and some of the melancholy sentinaentalities left out,
the readers of the Belle would be still more satisfied
with it.
