Does Mr * Gilchrist conceive , is he vain and egotistic enough to fancy , that ? all mental and moral excellence af £ cooped up in the narrow circle of self ? Is he impatient beneath the sound of braise which is wafted above his head

    to other men , who , by the superior vigour , or more successful application , of their intellectual faculties , have attained higher stations on the ascent to the temple of fame ? Among the " popular authors" whom he states to be so u familiar" to hitn , might possibly have been included one jEsop ; and ihe may remember ah apologue of that ; acute and amusing writer headed in ¦ some school editions De Rand et Bove—the Frog and the Ox .

    Abt » II . —Catholicism in Austria ; or an Epitome of the Austrian Ecclesiastical Law ; with a Dissertation upon the Rights and Duties of the English Government with respect to the Catholics of Ireland . By Count Ferdinand dal Pozzq , late Maitre des Requetes , and First President of the Imperial Court of Genoa . We have before observed , that though it has always suited the purposes 4 > f the No-Popery politicians to view a concession of the claims of the
