Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Lancet, Vol. 2: July-December, 1842 We experience a feeling somewhat akin to shame for our remissness in neglecting till this time to no tice this elegantly written and instructive brochure. No branch of science presents so varied and fasci nating attractions, as that one, in whose behoof the erudite Professor so eloquently and feelingly dis courses. Every where throughout the vast field over which he travels, the author seems at home; and every where the devout worshipper of the great first cause is apparent. Seldom have we derived such unaffected pleasure from the perusal of any work as that which has rewarded us for the read ing of this Discourse.'
