    Taifs Edinburgh Magazine . New Series . No . 2 . 1 * . The people of Great Britain have a deeper interest than perhaps they are aware of , in the success of the noble experiment now making by Mr , Tait with his Magazine . The result will be a Bure criterion of the intellectual condition of our country , and show whether the soil be in a state to receive the seeds of literature , taste , and political knowledge and

    principle . We rejoice to hear that the prospect of success i * a most encouraging one ; of the desert , the number before us is ample proof . Here are the most important topics discussed by the ablest hands . Seldom has there been such a corps of writers formed as that now marshalled under Tait ' s banner .

Roebuck , the Opium Eater , the author of the fc Exposition of the False Medium / Mrs . L . Grim stone ;

    and next month we understand that Miss Martineau will again show herself in their ranks , notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions needful for her own publications .

We should not notice this reprint of a work which we have already reviewed , but to mention that there are sundry valuable additions to it ; four entire chapters , ( besides many interpolations , ) and the Author ' s vindication of the work against the attack of Archdeacon Wilkins .

One of the Wonders of Chaos , ' this poem may be ; it is certainly not one of the wonders of * Creation / We have seldom seen such a mass of confusion . The following litter of alliteration may suffice as a specimen . The Devil ' s dearest friend being provoked at being told that he and his comrades might ' floundering float upon this flaming flood / thus taunts him in return :

    ' And dost thou vaunt thyself above us all In courage , cursed cow ' nng coward ? Confess Thou wert the first to flee his kindling ire , And wing thy wicked way to wards of woe ! So spake the fallen angel ; when the rest Which lay embedded in the burning lake , Sent forth a shriek of such conclusive grief , As silenced Satan , and transfixed hit souL' p . 23 Quite conclusive .
