The election of a town constable, exhibits the violence of _Lunar Politics_ to be much the same as the terrestrial, and seems to have some allusion to an existing and important controversy amongst ourselves. The _prostitution of the press_ is satirized by the story of a number of boys dressed in black and white--wearing the badges of the party to which they respectively belong, and each provided with a syringe and two canteens, the one filled with rose water, and the other with a black, offensive, fluid: the rose water being squirted at the favourite candidates and voters--the other fluid on the opposite party. All these were under regular discipline, and at the word of command discharged their syringes on friend or foe, as the case might be. The "_glorious uncertainty of the law_" (proverbial with us,) falls also under notice. In Morosofia, it seems, a favourite mode of settling private disputes, whether concerning person, character, or property, is by the employment of prize fighters who hire themselves to the litigants:-- "And out of foreign controversies By aiding both sides, fill their purses: But have no int'rest in the cause For which th' engage and wage the laws Nor farther prospect than their pay Whether they lose or win the day." The chapter concludes with a discussion between an old man and his wife, in which the _policy of encouraging manufactures_, is argued. In an account of Okalbia--a happy valley--similar only in name to that in _Rasselas_, the author seems to sketch his views of a _perfect commonwealth_, and glances at some important questions of _politics_ and _political economy_. Prudential restraints are considered sufficient to obviate a _redundancy of population_--and on _Ricardo's theory of rent_, the author holds the same opinions as those already expressed in this Journal. Some useful hints are also afforded on the subject of _legislation and jurisprudence_. After having passed a week amongst the singular and happy Okalbians, whom our travellers found equally amiable, intelligent, and hospitable, they returned to Alamatua. Jeffery's _theory of beauty_, as developed in the article _beauty_, of the _supplement to the Encyclopaedia Britannica_, in which he denies the existence of original beauty and refers it to association, is ridiculed by an extension of a similar kind of reasoning to the smell. A description of a _Lunar fair_ follows, which, like a terrestrial, is the resort of the busy, the idle, the knavish, and the gay: some in pursuit of pleasure; others again, without any settled purpose, carried along by the vague desire of meeting with something to relieve them from the pain of idleness. _Political contests_ are here represented under the character of gambling transactions, and if we mistake not, there is a distinct allusion to more than one important contest in the annals of this country.
