    type of the Past ;—be all these things how ye will ; but who that has thought on Europe emerging from tne thick darkness of the middle ages—traced the progress of philosophy , and the arts and sciences , —seen the wisdom of the ancients yield to the wisdom of these later times—who has with wonder and

    awe beheld the Discovery of a World , —who has seen colonies deemed insignificant throw off the yoke of despotism , trample the banners of their tyrants in the dust , and presently erect themselves into a nation promising to be the first on the globe , —who that has thought on these things will dare to deny the Progression of Man , whether the result shall be perfection or not ?

    A Sun is rising : its effulgence is spreading abroad , dispersing the mists of prejudice and superstition . It is the Sun of Reason .

    A PLAY IN ONE ACT , BY DOUGLA 3 JERROLD . To suppose that a gentleman who has had so much practice in dramatic writing as Mr . Jerrold , that practice including a knowledge of theatres and the public , with considerable experience of the points and effects produced by his own plays upon the stage , should have written a piece like the present without very well knowing what he was about , would be ridiculous .

    taste in all its diseased forms , which , like the disgusting pageant of a night-mare dream , came shoaling onward with all the blind impulse of a disordered mind . He has produced a play containing * little or no action ; assisted b y no fine scenery , dresses , decorations , music , singing , dancing , or comic character . With Grecian simplicity of construction , the play being in one act , having only one scene , and seven persons : he has depended entirely on the effect of genuine passion and

    • In the fear of exceeding reasonable limits we have omitted the consideration of several important matters , fairly coming under the head of prejudice , such m * flogging n < L figging at public schools ; and particularly the grant of degrees at Universities to uohleweii in right of their rank , cVc . ; together with other * of a more ludicrous nature , such as the resolute adherence of hishopn and parse us to their nigs' Thest * may perhaps be made th <* topics of a future paper .
