the American, and portentous collection OF old
college themes, essays, exercises IN Greek and
Latin, and mathematical questions, OF no earthly

| MUTTERINGs AND MUSINGS OF AN INVALID.
limo. PIP. 28l. JOHN S. TAYLOR.
A more truly descriptive title could not have
been chosen for this odd volume. 1t Is series
of groans, growls, sneers and snarls, which no
| man with sound digestion could indulge in.
| As an accompaniment to its general harshness
| OF tone, it has occasional strains of gay humOr
with passages Of brilliant fancy and some fair
| aesthetic criticisms The writer, who no doubt
has gone to his long home by this time, for 1t is
| several months since his book first made It's ap-
pearance,) shows good deal of literary culture,
very commendable freedom of thought, and a
mildly audacious way OF speaking his mind,
| which, If it did not SAVIOR so much Of the queru-
lous fretfulness of the sick man, would command
respect for its independence. But the work is
based on an erroneous theory, and does injustice
both to the author and to the public. Instead of
using the suggestions which the leisure of sick
Il,
into decent presentable shape, it brings for
ward bodily, and in the crudest manner, all the
distempered visions and grim, bloodless, spec
trail appartions which are engendered in the
wild fantasies Of disease. This of course In
wolves the constant exercise of egOtlsm. The
present mutteTer dlsclOses all his mental hallu-
cinations with the same fondness with which
the vulgar invalid retails his corporeal symp-
toms fresh, healthy egotism, like that OF
Montague and Charles Lamb, we admit, is not
without a certain charm but the subjective
revelations of protested dyspepuc, and
grumbler at that are not precisely the materials
for refreshing volume. Still, this work con-
tains good deal of readable matter-it has |
vein of excellent feeling, after all, beneath It's |
brStling, porcupinsh exteTor-it sometimes |
makes a capital bit with its trenchant satire
and will doubtless be preserved among the
curiosities" of American literature.
