Hand-Book of Plirenotypics , eye . , with many other pamphlets on the Power of Memory . By Brother Major Beniowsky . Bow-street . It is now two years since we commented on the earlier productions of this gifted man and Mason . Our visit to him at the time partook of pain and pleasure , —of pain that such a man should by any circumstance be reduced to a zero of station whence the change must of necessity be for the better ; but in the Major there was a buoyancy of spirit which

We told the author at the time that our next visit to him would be under different circumstances . He was then sought for in private , and with doubt . His system has progressed —his house ( for he now rents a respectable house in Bow-street ) is calculated for the reception of the higher orders—his subjects become knownand his character appreciated . Besides the works he has
pub-, lished , he has Elementary Phrenotypic works on Medical Botany , and Nosological Tables , besides many on other subjects . One suggestion we would make to the Major , as well as to Bro . Rosenberg—it is that they should meet ; and no truer test of the truthful value of the Phrenotypic system could be given than to impart to such a pupil as Bro .

The reverend and learned Author is evidently embued with much fervency and zeal , and has enlisted these qualifications very advantageously in his work , which he intends as a prelude to one of greater magnitude . The plan of arrangement adopted in this difficult subject—for difficult it is—is by argument , translation , and paraphrase ; and to those whose minds can grasp the importance of the subject-matter itself , we have no doubt the Author has afforded the opportunity of still further developing that grand scheme on which even redemption from sin depended .
