Sir Jonah Darlington is the very prince OF
story tellers; he goes right through to the main
object; there is no shutting or equivocatine; no
pause nor hesitation; no bespeaking your credence
by asseverations and assurances: he never suppo-
ses that reader would question a gentleman's
word. or that any rational being can doubt the
simple unadorned facts that he records. Its
true, that some silly people ventured to call the
Bansheen Of Lord Rossmore," iii former vol
ume. " a bounce;" and one went so far as to &C
cuse the author of publishing g absolute false
hoods;" but SIR Jonah disposes of the dull cavil.

with his sarrunus peasantries. to the hearts con-
tent ofevey reader who has any relish tor hearty
laughter and good after dinner anecdote. 1t

We shall not therefore, waste another word up

illustrative of the state Of medicine in Ireland
forty years ago.

liminary part Of this story may be very briefly
told. Tom White. the whipper-in Of Blands-fort

faculty conceiv,ng him past all hope Of cure, he

table. cio,h over the lower par, OF the sufferers
body: and tying the corners underneath the table
had the pleasure of seeing Tom White as snug
aud as fastas he could wish, to undergo any de-
gree of torture without being able to shift quarter
of an inch.
..Mr. Butler then walked round in a sort OF
triumph, every now aud then giving the knots
a pull, to tighten them. and saving. Mighty
wsl,-mighty good! Now stand fast. Tom
TOMS back being thus duly barred. the doc
tor ran his immense thumb from top to bottom
along the spine, with no slight degree of pressure;
and whenever the whipper-in reared loudest, Mr.
Butler marked the spot he vas touching with a
lump of chalk Having, in that way, ascertain
