_Written by a ragged Irishman, a passenger on board a vessel with the
Archbishop of Tuam._

If each man had his suum,
You would not have Tuam,
But I should get meum,
And sing a _Te Deum_.

MAY.

The following verses were composed by John Barbour, a poet and divine,
who was born at Aberdeen in 1330. They afford a specimen of the poetry
in his time:--

"This was in midst of month of May,
When birdis sing on ilka spray,
Melland[5] their notes, with seemly soun,
For softness of the sweet seasoun.

"And leavis of the branchis spreeds,
And blomis bright, beside them, breeds
And Fieldis strawed are with flow'rs
Well savouring of seir[6] colours;
And all things wor this, blyth, and gay."

ARCANA of SCIENCE, and ANNUAL REGISTER of the USEFUL ARTS for 1831.

"This is the fourth annual volume of a most useful compilation of the
various discoveries in science or inventions of art during the preceding
year. The volume commences, very properly, with an abridgment of what
may be termed the greatest work of art which has distinguished the
present century--the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Various other
improvements in the different departments of the arts which have
appeared in the several scientific journals of the last year, are here
presented in a condensed form, so as to render the volume, in reality,
an excellent book of reference. The object of the editor seems to have
been that of blending entertainment with valuable information, the work
being illustrated by many neat engravings relating to the popular
branches of science. The volume, therefore, contains a very interesting
compendium of information for young people."--_New Monthly Magazine._
