In one portion of bis book Mr Roberts gives expression to the annoyance he felt on one of the Supreme Court Judges saying that after glancing through some of his writings he thought him eccentric. Mr Roberts should com fort himself with the reflection that what is lunacy in one century is often sound sense in the next. It may be that,in some things he is a century in advance of his times. Strong individu ality he certainly has. So much wit and wisdom as there is in this book on “ lunacycraft ” is not often found in so curious a garb. As the melancholy Jaques said to the philosophic Touch stone: “Motley’s the only wear!”— Age.'
