,ovnoa QUARTERLY RrvrEw.-The Jan No oil
,5,syorl Am. Ed Vol. XIII, No.l) hasiust been
renrinted by Leonard Scott & Co ll2 tulton-st-
yl,e l.odine paper is thorough and very sensible
R,view of Sir James Graham's new bill for the
nsrer Regulation Of Medical Practice. We gather
from il that portion Of The Faculty IN England
are dspleased with the bill on account Of IFS too
s,eat llheraly toward irregular practl,ioners-pub-
he sentiment there as vel! as here tending
constantly toward wider liberty. The writer
takes for his text passage from Adam Smith, in
which the following sentence occurs The great
success OF Quacks in England has been altogether
owing 10 the real Qnackery Of the Regular Physl-
clans" This remark, TO ase the stereotype phrase
OF the Amanacs, will answer well, we appre-
bend, for the United States az for England. The
writer avows his belief that "nohing can really
be more detrimental 10 the profession itself than
10 fence il ronnd with farther privileges" and OF
the evils of Quackery he says We believe that
no legislative enactment will prevent ihem and
we also believe that, having taken the Pains 10
pOnr out 10 the public the proper course TO be pur-
saed The safest way will be 10 leave II 10 the good
sense OF individuals TO protect themselves" 1t Is
encouraging 10 the friends OF Freedom and Pro.
gress TO lind such sentiments in publication noted
for cautious conservatism.

and H. Indianapolis: V. B. Noel e Co.--The first
TWO plumbers OF this work are promising. We are
glad TO see il appear. Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
have now, each Of them, one or more agricultural
Journals Of their own. II the editors of these prints
Will carefully study the condition Of agriculture in
the new States and devise means for lis REFORM
they will deserve well of the country. Nothing can
save the present rich soils Of the Western States
from deterioraiing, and finally becoming like the
worn out lands Of Virginia, except the introduction
Of uue principles in agriculture among the popula-
non of these States. We know of no better way
of doing this than the publication of practical agrl-
cultural journals The Indiana Farmer has fair
chance TO do good.
a LECTURE on the Philosophy of Vegetation read at the
Organization OF the AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL ASsOC-
ALTOS, al the University the City OF Ncw-Iork,
Wednesday, the 10th February, lsl5. by W A. Secly
Esq. Wiley Putnam.
This Lecture does not deserve any attention at
our hands on lis own merits, but the reflected I'M
porance which ii may derive from the respectable
body before winch il was delivered, may, perhaps,
entte II TO passing notice. II Is the finest exam
pie of an obscure tumble we have met with lately,
and il it does contain any pHloSophg, We really
are unable 10 discover IT, II the author had any
notion OF what he meant 10 say, we are confident
hs hearers had not the iainlest conception OF what
IT was. When we took ii up we thought from the
tile we might learn somethng-'lhe Philosophy OF
Vegetation! ltpromised well, but, indeed, with all
our repued vegetable predictions, could not
extract from il the smallest morsel OF mental nour-
ishment We do not know the author, but if he is
ayoung man who supposes he may have useful IDEAS
80 communicate, we advise him to endeavor TO inl-
prove his style At least, that wIa, he does write
may be understood
