Don't burn their mouths,
The little dears while treating,
Though still the proof
Of pudding's in the heating.
A round game at Christmas.
PROCEEDINGS OF LEARNED SOCIETIES, 1841.
THE STATISTICAL SOCIETY.
[Our country readers may probably not be aware that there exists in London a body of pleasant-minded gentlemen, constituting a society bearing the above name, who collect, with never-wearying application and research, the various statistical reports connected with every subject of the day. Their proceedings are duly chronicled in the different scientific and literary reviews, but as these may not be within the reach of all, we have collected the most interesting points discovered by their labours, during the past twelvemonth, and present them as a "Year Book of Facts" to our admirers.]
