The NoCTEs AMBRosIAN4E: Edited by DR.
Shelton Mackenzie, and published by J. S
Redfeld.-T This new and complete edition
of the celebrated papers which established
for Black,oood such hign critical repu
tation, possesses an additional value in thu
copious notes and illustrations with which II
abounds, and which were rendered necessary BY
the oblivion into which many o. the persons ant
"
years, necessarily fallen. It contains, besides
history Of Blackscood's Magazine, and me
moirs Of Wilson, Lockhart, Hogg and Maginn
the accredited authors of the "Noctes." The
celebrated Chaldee Manuscript which frs
brought Blaek,UOod into notoriety, and which
owing to its libellous severity, was suppressed
almost as soon as published, as well as severa
other articles by the same admirable pens, are
also introduced in this edition, although moi
strictly belonging to the series of papers which
have given the work it's title. Dr. Mackenzie
claims the credit Of peculiar fitness for the tasl
he has assumed, from long literary career
passed in England and Scotland, and familiar
acquaintance with most of the persons and
events treated of in the "Noctes" So far as
a cursory examination of the results Of his Ia
bors will enable us to pronounce an opinion, we
may state that they exhibit the fullest evidences
Of desire to discharge conscientiously the
duties of literary legatee to the distinguished
men to whose genius and whose wit the worlt
owes these admirable productions.
