Some readers may not have forgotten our notification of the
appearance of an endowed edition of GEORGE COMBS'S Consults- lion of Man considered in Relation to External Objects. The result shows that Mr. HENDERSON was not only a man of taste, but possessed of a far-seeing mind ; and the effects produced by his legacy must gratify him in the Elysian fields. The Hen- derson Edition of 3000 copies was exhausted in four months; and, the manna once tasted by the people, a demand for it sprung up. A third edition was sent forth; editions have been printed in the United States; translations have appeared in French, Swedish, and German; and here is a fourth English volume, corrected and enlarged, under the title of the People's Edition, published at even a less price than the endowed one. The secret is, that the Grand Distributor of Reading for the People in Scot- land—CHAMBERS—has become a convert; and it is under his auspices that the most perfect though not the finest edition of the Constitution of Man is now sold at is.
