"A great man once put the wisdom of his life into sayings which the world has chosen to call by this happy name; but from his usage it would seem that a proverb is a short word, a terse and easy phrase, clear to the eye and the mind. The lines in which the Albury Solomon dispenses his eccentric wisdom seem to be of another kind. They are not short. They are not sharp. They are not clear. On the contrary, they are so exceedingly serpentine, so flabby, and so obscure, as to make one doubt whether the Hebrew king was an adept in the lighter

branches of his art. He certainly fell far below this imitator in his comical effects. You cannot get a laugh out of Solomon; while in reading Tupper it is just impossible to be grave. Was it not Lord Russell who defined a proverb as the wisdom of many in the wit of one? Mr. Tupper, we suspect, could tell his lordship that a proverb means the folly of many for the profit of one;' but in doing so he would have to confess how long he has been laughing at an unsuspicious world... ... On the whole, this third series of Proverbial Philosophy' is weak, twaddling, and insincere, and therefore, we suppose, will find the same sort of public which has bought the previous works."-Lon. Athen., May, 1867.

Thus the critics will make game of Mr. Tupper: The Saturday Review, about Jan. 1867, boasted, "With the exception of two young ladies,-both, we may safely state, under twenty,-we never met any one who pleaded guilty to the possession of one of Mr. Tupper's works;" "The English critics," writes one, in 1870, "are felicitating themselves on an accident that recently happened to Mr. Martin F. Tupper, by which his right hand was disabled;"' ;"The Round Table, of New York,-I am obliged to confess that my countrymen are not guiltless herein,late in 1867 thought it "a matter for no little patriotic exultation that as yet Mr. Tupper's third series" was "without an American publisher." Indeed, in 1870 the London Times came to the rescue by the rather tardy suggestion that Mr. Tupper, "who for considerably more than a quarter of a century has occupied the position of chief butt for metropolitan critics and professional jokers, should be allowed to retire from that disagreeable eminence."

But, on the other hand, a number of the admirers of the famous proverbialist not long since (in 1867) exerted themselves to get up a testimonial in his honour; and one of these devotees-who, by the operation of known law, became an imitator of that which he admired, laurels which he was about to bestow-appeals in these -not perhaps without a willingness to share in the soul-stirring-let us hope, pocket-stirring-strains to the gratitude of the nation:

"Give him back a tithe of the cost of those pearls of wisdom:
Give it in postage-stamps, or, better, in post-office orders,
Or cheque crossed Herries & Co., to account of the minstrel-
diver.

N.B. The testimonial's form will probably be as simple
As the bard's own simple taste,-namely, paid in cash to his
order."

"The discoveries and inventions relating to the uses which have hitherto been made of the atmosphere, and the mathematical deductions which so clearly teach us to hope for the practicability of an aerial navigation, have never yet been described in a manner worthy of the lives hitherto sacrificed in unavailing attempts, nor of the confidence in ultimate success with which those are now inspired who have patiently and laboriously considered the question in a mathematical and scientific point of view. Aerostation may, indeed, be well considered as that branch of science which displays the largest amount of physical courage in its professors."-Author's Prospectus.
