passed to that portion of the city which is
laid open to the light. 1t is comparatively
small; and we saw nothing there which we
had not seen already at Pompeii. BY this
time we were excessively fatigued and glad to
return to our hotel, although highly gratifed
with our days excursion.
We turned our attention next in order to
the Museum of the Academy of Arts. This
is rich collection of specimens in almost
every department of art, both ancient and
modern; and so very extensive as to render
the thorough examination of itquite serious
undertaking. 1t contains all the finest fres-
which have been recovered from Pompeii and
Herculaneum and is doubtless to be ranked
among the best collections of the antique
the world affords. The best mosaic floors have
been removed entire from the buried cities
and now present their original appearance in
the floors of the several apartments The
irescoes are arranged in neat and convenient
order, and fill several spacious hall. They
exhibit to you at one view, the Intellectual
tastes of the ill fated people whose monuments
they are. That they were lovers of luxurious
elegance, is obvious enough that they want
ed true refinement, the gross indelicacy of
many of their works of art demonstrates but
too clearly. Although by exposure to the
air the colors of the frescoes fade somewhat.
yet many of those preserved in this collection
have degree of perfection which makes it
difficult to believe that they have lain entomb-
ed so long. The jewels taken from the skele-
tons which were found, the various utensils
used in family affairs, the articles of food,
found in some instances standing served upon
the tables, and various similar things, enable
one to form good idea of the personal and
domestic habits of the people. The specimens
of sculpture are very numerous, filling several
extensive galleries; and to me were particu-
larly interesting. looked with reverence on
full length statue of Cicero, quite probably
made IN his, oacn day.; and so of Augustus and
his immediate successors, and of M9cenas the
patron of the learned, along with Virgil, Hor-
ace, and others of their time here were the
identical busts and statues which exhibited
their features to their contemporaries. Here
likewise were those of Socrates, Plato, Homer,
Euripides, Sophocles and many others of the
imnsortals, as they were represented at that Pc
riod so comparatively near their own. Here,
too, were goodly number of the gods them
selves, as they appeared iE their respective
temples, when their honors were not only
sung in imperisheble verse, but were paid at
their affairs by believing millions. Worship
pers and gods-one could not but reflect
equally impotent, persisted in one common
ruin! In short, there was an indescribable
interest in going over all these wonderful re-
mains Of an age so distant, yet having such a
hold upon the heart of every scholar. The
collection forms noble illustration of no small
part of the Mythology of both Greek and Lat
in poets.

We have no disposition to injurs the inventor
Of any particular medicine, but in Justice to the

formed by the observations of eleven years in

No such objection can be urged against the use

that medicine can do towards the relief of per-
