Recent Curiosities of Literature.—Thackeray, in the second number of The Newcomes, describes an old lady's death as being caused from her head having been cut with a bed-room candle. N. P. Willis, in his Health Trip to the Tropics, speaks
of being waited on by a Carib, who had "no beard except a long moustache." Professor Spalding, of St. Andrew's in his History of English Literature, says that the sonnets of Wordsworth "have perfection hardly to be surpassed." And J. Stanyan Bigg (the "new poet"), in the December number of Hogg's Instructor, exclaims:
"The winter storms come rushing round the wall,
Like him who at Jerusalem shriek'd out 'Wo!'"
