| certain of their brethren who had given up

their pulpits to remale preachers, whose ministrations,it would appear, vere received with much acceptance by the Congregations but not by the Presbytery of Orkney. This was a fact of such significance that we ceas¢ to wonder at its contemplation deepening In vain he quoted the opinions of his Lady friends, that there was no demand for Female Medical Practitioners. The meeting, without in- tending any irreverence, refused to take the Doctor's lady friends as proper exponents of the wants or desires of their sex—and so his motion was lost.

The supporters of Professor Masson's re- solution based their argument upon the very obvious and conimon-sense principle, that woman, equally with man, has a perfect right to put the finest possible polish on whatever talents Providence may have be- stowed on her. We have never heard the distinction that woman, any more than man, would be blameless did she bury her talent. It naturally flows from this that no body of men has a right to throw obstructions in the path of women desirous to cultivate their mental qualities. To acquire a knowledge of the sciences, they have a perfect right. The uses to which they may afterwards apply these acquirements, are beside the question in a University Court. It is fri- volous to lock the sources of knowledge be- cause there is a possibility of some of the waters becoming stagnant or losing them- selves in quagmires. Nor is it a logical consequence that public practice ofa science must necessarily follow on its study. The adornment of private life is no unworthy motive for application. Supposing, how- ever, that medical ladies should desire to | establish for themselves a public practice ; what then? If the University has testified to their fitness, the further developments of the questions lies beyond its precincts. It becomes narrowed to one of propriety, and its decision must be pronounced by society.

We know not when it wasdrawn, or who drew the line of demarkation, which divides, according to modern ideas, the sciences into those that are thought becomir gz, and those that are deemed unbecoming to a lady’s culture. With the duty incumbent upon all, to perfect to the best of their ability, the talents they have received, the line is clearly arvitrary and fanciful. That it did not always exist, we mean to show: A German lady, who died in 906, wrote a Treatise on Logic, which was praised by the learned of her own time, as the very best that had been produced. Half a century later, another German lady studied in a convent school of the period “Greek and Latin, the Philesophy of Aristotle and other liberal arts.” Her works are still extant, and modern critics affirm, that her Latin Poems and Plays “are morals of classical taste, and poetic genius.” More: these critics observe, that her dramas, afford incidental evidence of her “ perfect fami- liarity with the sciences of music,astronomy, and Dialectics as then taught in the schools.” The “ Advise to Ladies” written in 1371 enumerates among the most useful branches of female education, “Reading, Church Music, Embroidery, Confectionery and Sur- gery.” Mary de Bohun, the first wife of Henry Bolingbroke, was, we are told by Froissart, well skilled in Latin, and Church Divinity. In the great University of Bolo- gne, the work of copying ancient manu-

scripts was performed principally by ladies.

We owe the genial author of this little work an apology for not noticing him earher, He has undoubtedly proved his right to be considered the Laureat of our Island. All the subjecte chosen by his muse are eminently national.

His rymes are easy and natural. He never

seems to be at a loss for material—every thing is within easy reach, The most pretentious | piece in the collection is, perhaps, the Sne on the Visit of the Prince of Wales to the Tomb of Washington. The subject is worthy of a Poet; and in the manner of treatment, Mr, LePage bas shown himself fully alive to the sentiments which the occasion vrompted, al- though, we are free to coufess, that we think | he could have made more of it, had he left | himsesf untrammeiled by the artificial absurdity of an acrosiic. The I:troduction sets forth

j

Greek and Natural Philosophy were the only subjects on which

aspect ot our Island. We are giad to learn | from it, that the impressions ot several of the pieces here reproduced, were completely ovld vif; aid we trust that ie Same will soon kave to be said of tie present collec-| tion.
