our Antipodes. The huntsmen are up in America, and they are already past their first sleep in Persia. But who can be drowsy at that hour which freed us from everlasting sleep? or have slumbering thoughts at that time, when sleep itself must end, and as some conjecture all shall awake

again.

7 To keep our eyes open longer, &c.] "Think you that there ever was such a reason given before for going to bed at midnight; to wit, that if we did not, we should be acting the part of our antipodes! " And then, "THE HUNTSMEN ARE UP IN AMERICA," what life, what fancy! Does the whimsical knight give us, thus, the essence of gunpowder tea, and call it an opiate ?-Coleridge's MS. notes on the margin of a copy of Browne's Works.

It escaped me to notice in the first chapter of this "Discourse," that there is a curious article on gardens, in D'Israeli's Curiosities of Literature, vol. iv. p. 233; in the Archæologia, vol. vii. a paper by the Hon. Daines Barrington, on the progress of gardening;-in the 2nd number of the Journal of the Geographical Society, an interesting account of the floating gardens of Cashmere.

THE STATIONER TO THE READER.

I CANNOT omit to advertise, that a book was published not long since, entitled, Nature's Cabinet Unlocked,' bearing the name of this author. If any man have been benefited thereby, this author is not so ambitious as to challenge the honour thereof, as having no hand in that work. To distinguish of true and spurious pieces was the original criticism; and some were so handsomely counterfeited, that the entitled authors needed not to disclaim them. But since it is so, that either he must write himself, or others will write for him, I know no better prevention than to act his own part with less intermission of his pen.

1 a book, &c.] Which Anthony a Wood thus introduceth to the notice of his readers :-"The reader may be pleased now to know that there hath been published under Dr. Thomas Browne's name a book bearing this title:

"Nature's Cabinet Unlocked, wherein is discovered the natural Causes of Metals, Stones, Pretious Earths, &c., printed 1657, in tw. A dull worthless thing, stole for the most part out of the Physics of Magirus by a very ignorant person, a plagiary so ignorant and unskilful in his Rider, that not distinguishing between Lavis and Levis in the said Magirus, hath told us of the liver, that one part of it is gibbous and the other light and yet he had the confidence to call this scribble Nature's Cabinet, &c., an arrogant and fanciful title, of which our author's (Browne) true humility would no more have suffered him to have been the father, than his great learning could have permitted him to have been the author of the said book. For it is certain that as he was a philosopher very inward with nature, so was he one that never boasted his acquaintance with her."
