We bid Mr Whyte adieu, in the hope that, if a second edition of these volumes be called for, he will subject them to a very thorough revision--connecting together many passages, which, though relating to the same subject, are at present unnaturally disjoined--omitting much, which, instead of heightening, interferes with the effect which it is his object to produce--and, above all, eschewing the indulgence of pleasantries which certainly produces no corresponding impression on his readers. _Edinburgh: Printed by Ballantyne and Hughes, Paul's Work._
