mm smti [From the New Vori. Mercury ] * A Short Patent Sermon. BY DOW. JK. Mv text tliis morning is contained in these ■words : How so!',-!fis Hijrioo,! How Icmtcr is wmmuj! How I.'lli is vvntiittij! How (ovine is vvmmui! How chiidtikc is woriooi! Mv hearers: Sure enough, how snlvcless is woman ? She is an ungiicssuble riddle—a most intricate enigma ; a flower wliich by analyzing no one can tell to a certainly whether it he poi sonous or noxious—not always. She Inis heen with man from the beginning, and he hasn’t found her out yet. She is comparatively an un explored country —an alphabet of hieroglyphics —a magnetic mystery. Nobody lotows what her heart contains. Sometimes it seems stuffed with love, tenderness and sympathy ; and al oth ers filled with nothing but grit and gravel. It won’t answer to shake her ; —if yon do you cause the acids and the alkalies of her nature to come, in contact; and then such an eflervesccn.ee takes place as might lower the ambition of pearlash and cider. Like the month of April, she is all sunshine and showers. Many a teardrop of hers dries and “evaporates in the warm light ofa smile, ere it has a chance to fall; and many a bright smile is suddenly quenched by a sprinkle from some passing cloud of sorrow, about tlie size ofa bed blanket. Griefs bubble up from her bosom to burst in an atmosphere of joy; and joys like antumnal flowers, spring from the warm beds of her heart, to be cut down by the sudden frost of grief. A queer compound is woman ! She is made up of industry, boldness, beauty, silks, sat ins, jealousy, love, hatred, horse hair, whalebone, piety, paint, gaiety, gum elastic, bear’s grease, sympathy, tears, smiles, affections and kindness. She talks with her tongue; speaks with her eyes, is eloquent in her actions, and yet 1 can’t under- j stand her. j My friends: How lender is woman ! She is ! ns tender as a chicken, and as tough as an old gobler. She must be screened hum the hot sum- j iner’s sun, and sheltered from storms, and pro tected from the blasts of winter—and yet, if she 1 makes up her mind do it, she can outswent the ! sun, face a northeaster, and be a match for the i devil, liut inwardly she is as tender as the mcr- ! cics of heaven : her heart is as much softer than the human as beeswax is softer than a brickbat. 1 Her sympathies are as delicate as Ihe down, and her love appears as fresh and unfading amid the j sorrows ol adversity, as (he evergreen wreath 5 that encircled the broad brow of winter. Her tenderness is too tough to be destroyed by what ever chance, fortune-, or time, may bring ; tough as tripe and twice as common. My dear friends: how lolly is woman! No matter whether born in a cellar, she can be as lolly as a garret. When she once gets her back up, O, cats and broomsticks, look out for your selves ! She is as high as Olympus, ami as sav age ns a sausage machine, in her wrath, is as crazy as a bedbug, as strong as a tiger, and aij terrible as a tornado. She can \Ar..o oway ns though heaven and earth were coming to close quarters; but in a moment all is over—and no- j body is killed. When she came down from the ! mountains, whence sliu has been rolling big j stones upon people below, softens down to a jel- j ly, and becomes as quiescent as a goose pond J after a tempest. The breeches won’t lit—she i must resume the petticoat, and be a woman after all. My hearers: How loving is woman! Aye, she is amazing sticky in her attachments. She will cling to the chosen objects of her heart like • possum to a gum tree ; ’ and you can't separate ; her without snapping strings that no art can I mend, and leaving a portion of her soul upon the qpper leather v of her affections. She will see j something to love where others can discover no- > thing even to admire ; and, when her fondness is fastened upon a fellow, it stays there, like glue , and molasses in a bushy head of hair. My hearers: how childlike is woman! A plaything herself, she is fond of every plaything in the world’s great toy.shop. Her home is in the realm of fancy—her existence is a kind of reality—her very miseries are mingled with a pleasing romance—her present is always bright and her future still brighter. Would that I were a woman to be pleased with every posey that pops its head above the weeds ofa wicked world, ■ and hax'e no thorns to molest me while gather- : ing the wild flowers of imagination ! Childlike > —woman is very happy. Tickled with the straw of flattery, delighted with every rainbow tinted bubble that floats upon the wave ot time, nnd ns ! merry as a cricket, she dances to the sunlight of; joy, and seems to use every endeavor to coax male, moody mortals, into brighter and happier paths. So mote it be. Courtship and Marriage.— The difference between Courtship and Marriage was never j more forcibly explained than in the following “ Charcoal Sketch, by J. C. Neal, of Philadel pbia : ‘ What made you get married, it* you don’t like it V • Why I was deluded into it—faiilv deluded ; 1 I had nothing to do of evenings, so l went a courting. Now courting's fun enough ; 1 havn’t got a word to say agin courting. It's about ns good a way of killing an evening as I know of. Wash your face, put on a dickey, and go and talk as sweet as sugar or molasses candy for an hour or two —to say nothing ofa few kisses be. hind the door, as your sweetheart goes to the steps with you. j “ When I was a single man, the world wag ged along well enough. It was just like an om nibus ; I was a passenger, paid mj levy, and hadn’t nothing more to do with it, but sit down and not care a button for anything. ’Sposin* the omnibus got upsot ; well, I walks oft", and leaves the man to pick up the pieces. Hut then ! I must take a wife to be hanged to me. It’s ail very well for a while ; but afterwards it’s plaguy ! like owning an upsot omnibus 1 • Nan!’ queried Moutcsuma—* what’s all that about omnibusses V • What did I get by it ?’ continued Gamaliel, regardless of the interruption. • How much fun ? Why a jawing old woman and three squallers. Mighty different from courting, that is ! What's fbe fun of buying things for them to wear, nnd wasting good spreeing money on such nonsense 1 for other people ? And then, a> fordoing what you like, there’s no such thing! You can’t clear out; and when people's owing you so much money, you can’t stay, conveniently. No; the 1 nabbe’s will have you. You can’t go on a spree, for when you como home, missus kicks up the devil’* delight. You can't teach her better man- I liar*—-for constablos are ns thick us blackber. j ria*. In short, you can't do nothing. Instead j of • yes, my duck,’ and • no, my dear,’ •as you! please, honey,’ and * when you iikr, lovely,’ like { it was in courting time, it's all darning ami I ; mending, and nothing ever darned and mended. If it wasn’t that I am partickelarly sober, I’d be l inclined to drink—it’s excuse enough. It’s : heart-breaking, and it’s all owing to that I have ! such a pain in toy gizzard of a morning. I’m so miserable, 1 must stop and sit on the steps.’ ‘ Wat’s the matter, now ?’ ‘ I’m getting aggravated. My wife’s a savin cii/tcr—a sword of sharpness—she stabs my j happiness, cuts the throat of my felicity, and snips all up my sunday-go-to-meetings, to make jackets for the boys ; she gives all the wittels to the children to make me spry and jump about like a lamp-lighter. I can’t stand it ; rny trou bles are overpowerjng, when I come to add ’em up, I tell yi ‘Oh, nonsense! behave nice; don’t make a noise in the street; be a man !’ ‘ iiojvv can 1 be a man, when I belong to somebody else ?’ My hours au’t my own ;my money ain’t my own—l belong to four people myself; the old woman and them three childVeui. I'm a partnership concern, and so ma ny has got their lingers in the concern, that 1 must bust up. I’ll break, and sign over the | stock in trade to )ou.’ From Yankee Doodle. from b young Lawyer so liis roimtry Classmate. My Dear Bj:n : You ask me how 1 atn sue- J ceeding in practice since 1 nailed up my shingle. If you only saw the piles of papers tied with red tape on my desk, you would be surprised at its extent; but the truth is, they arc dummies, l’e ! ter Funks, endorsed, and tied up to make things i look like business, on the principle of “ assume a virtue if you have it not.” I really have had ; some* few clients iu earnest; for instance, to -1 day tut Irish washerwoman called on me and wished me to sue out a writ o (habeas corpus ; against the physicians of the hospital on Staten Island, where her husband who had recently arrived, was •‘unjustly detained” by the ship fever. The poor woman had heard some false stories that the patients were not well taken care ftt. 1 declined to interfere, and dismissed, her somewhat quieted. I could hardly get rid of her, however, she was s> loquacious; but at last assuming my sternest look, I exclaimed “ good woman ! my time is valuable,” (I should like, to get a shill ing an hour for it) and she vanished. (N. B. 1 asked her it she had any money, but she bad none, or else so help me Coke, I should have got out the writ.) ljoxvcver, 1 received a snug fee the other day born a little tailor \\ ho lives clown the street, lie came into my ollicc one morning iu a great rage, and wanted to know what he should do with a neighbor in the same line of business, who had insulted him. 1 asked what the party had said. “He told me to go to !” “ Aw, am I o ! ha, ah ! said I, in a kind of reflective t tone. Then I slowly rose and went up to my ; library—it consists of one work, shut up behind , green curtains, in a book-case large enough to Uoit • iio Bodleian collection—and took clcmn a volume of the'ltevised .Statutes, and gazed at it vacantly for Tull ten minutes by the City Hall clock, the poor tailor waiting in the meanwhile Xvitli ‘“all the impatience and anxi ety of nil expectant lover,” as the novelists say. At last I laid aside the book, put my hands in both pockets, and stretched out my legs, looked him full in the eye, and gazed at him silently, ‘ Well, xvhatdo you think ?’ he asked with im patience. ‘ Let me see !’ said I in reply, ‘did you give me n fee ?’ ns if I could have forgotten such a circumstance. 4 No sir ; how much must it be V * Five dollars!’ and I put the bill for that amount which he tendered mo, iu my wallet— put the wallet in my pocket, buttoned my pocket up, and when I was sure the V was safe,asked : 4 1 think you said, your neighbor told you to go to a place not to be named to ears polite ?’ 4 Yes sir!’ 1 \\ ell then, all I have to say, sir, is, there’s nothing in the Laws of the State of New York that obliges you to do it!’ Flic follow got mad, but ho didn’t get his mo ney. As old Quirk used to say, when 1 studied(?) with him—“remember Jack, though there are many crooks and turns iu law, there are no re turns.” Once in a while, Ben, a little god.send of this sort comes upon me, so that with the eight hun dred “ the governor ” allows me, I manage to make both ends meet. By the xvay, you can tell the old gentleman that I distinguished my self before a jury the other day, and obtained a verdict xviihout their leaving their seats —you may as well not mention that it was the Sher iff's jury, however. As to xvhat effect the new constitution will have on our practice, of which you inquire—l can’t tell, for 1 havn’t read it; it’s as much as I can do to take care of my own constitution—which, somehow or other, this city life don’t agree with—it’s as bad as a soph omore year at Yale. M hen the governor was here the other day, lie said to me, ‘Jack, you look pale, you should j not study too bard !’ I told him I wouldn’t to oblige him, and wanted to blush, but thank hea- ■ veil! 1 have at least one qualification for a law. ; yer—l can’t blush ! Speaking of the governor, just tell him, too, that I’m getting on furiously j iu politics. Last night I was nominated on 1 the \\ ard Committee, where they are always glad to get a man that can write, (the last you need not mention, and don’t say either that tho’ ! nominated 1 was not elected) —a victim of in trigue ! 1 think you said you will bo admitted i next term, and propose corning into partnership with me. Come on; you shall half what you make yourself, and tho benefit of my experience. lou ask it there is not •* a good opening for a y oung man of industry and talents V When I came here three months ago, I couldn't find even an opening on tho building for a twelve inch tin shingle, so thickly was its front plas- j tered with the tins ot m\ co-tenants. This morning a neatly dressed black woman I came into rny office. • A client, by Jupiter,’ I j exclaimed. ‘Please sir!’ said she, dropping a courtesy ‘do you keep signs for ‘ Washing and ironing, and going out to do days work done here, to sell !’ • No, we don’t,’ I gruffly an swered. •Nu offence, sir, but 1 seed so many on the outside, 1 thought may be tho gentleman Ai”p* u tin shop!’ But never mind what I #ay, Ben, t'teojne on, McDutf, and curst be he ’—of! the New vbisjjcrs 1 menu—• who first cries hold.

JENKINS. “ Fin a straightforward mail,” as tta*-B*p<se-**rd when he pitched into the gutter, “ and nothing .*1,0.” M§©@(gli©[ll](jD(§Mir a ISRAEL PUTNAM. In these little sketches we do not propose to be profound ; only talkative, chatty, and simple. As we have very little space this week, for this feature, we shall continue our subject without needless preface. Putnam’s early days wore spent as those of most boys placed in his situation in life. One of his favorite amusements was “bird nesting,” a cruel and useless custom, followed in all coun try places with a ferocity perfectly atrocious These hunts for nest were followed in company but Putnam xvas always the leader of the band. On one occasion he and his companions came across a fine nest which lodged on a trail branch of a very high tree. The tree stood apart from the others and was difficult of climbing. Besides this it was evident that no pole or contrivncc would answer the purpose of getting the nest—there was no way of obtain ing it save by venturing upon the brunch which, nine chances out of ten, would break under tho robber. No one would venture. Putnam regarded the nest and limb in silence for some moments and at length said : ‘That bird has all the qualities of a soldier. It has completely fortified its homo. I’ll wager there’s not a hoy for ten miles around that could get that nest.’ All agreed with h.im. ‘l’ll try it,’ said lie, deliberately taking off’ his jacket, and rolled his pantaloons up to his knees. The little knot of boys attempted to dissuade him ; but to no purpose. Go he would. ‘l’ll fancy that one of the King’s strong holds said Putnam, “and may I he shot if 1 don’t come off victor.’ The tree was ascended—the limb gained.— Putnam placed his fool on it, and it cracked, while the old bird flew off with a sharp cry, and remained describing circles round the tree, and uttering touching complaints. ‘Bah !’ said Putnam, ‘do you not prey on our fields ? Do you not tax us for support ? l)o •you not take our goods against our will, just like the King ? He ventured a foot further on the limb. It befit lo V and a warning murmur arose from the boys below. Putnam put his knee to the branch, and reached towards the nest. The limb broke partially—a shout below—and Put nam persevered. Ilis fingers touched the wish ed for prize, and just as he cried ‘l’ve got it,’ the limb broke clear off, and he fetl but not to the ground. His pantaloons caught iu one of the lower branches and his head hung downwards ‘Put, are you hurt ?’ asked one of the boys.* ‘Not hurt,’ answered the undaunted heart ; ‘but sorely puzzled how to get down.’ ‘We can’t cut away tho limb because we have no knife.’ ‘I can’t stay here till you get one.’ | ‘We’ll strike a light and burn the tree down. ‘Aye and smother me in the smoke. That won ‘(■ do.’ •’Photo ‘Vit a. hrfl* Randall in the group who was noted for being a crack marks man, and who afterwards fought very bravely at Putnam’s side. Him Putnam addressed ; ‘Jim Randal there’s a ball tin vour rifle.’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you see that very little limb that holds mo here V ‘I do.’ ‘Fire at it.’ ‘What to cut you down ?’ ‘Of course.’ ‘But I might strike your head.’ ‘Shoot. Belter blow out my brains than see mo die here, which I shall in fifteen minutes,— Shoot.’ ‘But you will fall.” ‘Jim Randall will you (ire ?’ Tho sharp crack of the rifle rang through the forest—the splinters flew and Putnam fell upon tho ground. He was severely bruised j but laughed the matter off, and nothing more j was thought of it. Three days after Putnam met Randall and the > rest, and taking the nest from his pocket said— ; ‘Here is the nest. I said i would have it or | perish, but I went alone, because I determined [ no one should see me fall and aid me to es cape the consequences.’ ‘l'he same indomitable spirit was displayed ; in that instance ns in the perilous leap and the | many other dangerous and daring exploits, per formed by the gallant man in his efforts for the* ! ascendancy of tho cause of Liberty.—i Notify Messenger. ~ ■ —■ ‘V--"**t Filial Viety— Affecting anecdote. — A ; lad, but newly admitted into the military school in France soon made himself appear of rather a singular disposition by his remarkable ah/ stemiousness. Whatever variation ofdiet u/s allowed he never ate any thing but bread and I soup, and drank nothing but water. ■ The Governor being informed of his conduct so very uncommon in a boy, attributed it to an indiscreet devotion and reproved hint for it— Nevertheless tho lad persisted and the Gover nor mentioned the circumstances to Monsieur Paris Dtiverney. He had the boy called be fore him, and with his usual mildness and mod eration mentioned to him that such singularity was by no means proper or allowable in a pub. lie institution and that he must certainiy con form to the rules and diet estabished there.— He afterwards unsuccessfully tried to find out the reason that could induce the boy to act in such a manner, and at last threatened him if he persisted that he would send him home to his family. This meance had the desired effect, and he then disclosed the motive ofliis conduct. You will not I hope bo displeased with me, but I could not bring myself to enjoy what I con sider a luxury, while I reflect my dear mother and father are iu the utmost indigence. They could afford themselves and me no better food than the coarsest bread and but very little of it. Hero I have excellent soup, and as much fine white bread as I would choose. I look upon this to be a very good living, any the receollec lion of the situation in which I left my parents would not permit me to indulge myself by eat ing anything else. Monsjeur Duverney and the governor could not reittain their tears at such an early in stance df fortitude and sensibility. If your father has beeu in the service, said M. Duverney, how that he has got no pension ? For ykant of friends snd moiioj, sir, replied the yefith. Ue has been upwards of a year so. lipHtng one hut his money and resources failed and rather than contract debts at Yersails he is content to languish in the inauner I have told you. 1 i 1 We, said M. Duverney, if the facts appear to have been as you stated, will engage to procure your father a pension of five hundred livres. In the mean time, here is three louis d’ors for yourself as a present from the King, and I will advance your father six month’s pay out of the pension I am certain of obtaining for him. How can you send the money to him, sir, as ked the boy. Let that give you no uneasiness', replied M. Duverney. I shall find means Ah, said the boy, with precipitation, ‘if you | can do it so easily, be pleased to send him these i three louis d’ors you were so good as to give me. I want nothing here and they would be of the greatest service to my father tor iny brothers and sisters. How delightful to the sensible mind are such’ early emanations of pious gratitude! Axiiciiote of (iex. Taylor. —The Missis- j sippi volunteers rolate an anecdote illustrating j General Taylor’s characteristic goodness of heart. Soon after the battle of Monterey, and during the excessively hot weather, irom which officers and men suffered severely, some gen tlemen sent Gen. Taylor lor his private use, a . barrel of ice, and a quantity of delicious claret. ! ‘l’llis precious burthen was deposited at the j General’s tent, with a note from the donor ; at’- ! ter politely acknowledging which, the old hero j caused the head of the barrel to be knocked j out, and, taking for his own use a lump as large as his fist, sent the whole of the remain- | der and the claret to the hospital for the use of! the sick soldiers. This is but one out of many ! proofs of the considerate and self-sacrificing generosity and humanity of Gen. Taylor’s char acter. We state this fact upon the authority of a gentleman who had it from the Mississippi vol unteers! Such conduct adds anew lustre to the old hero’s radiant fame, brighter than any which the most brilliant deeds of arms could impart. A Most .Sensible Woman.—ln one of his excursions during harvest, lie saw only one wo man reaping. His Majesty asked where her companions were. ‘They have gone to see the King,’ she re plied. ‘And why did you not go with them ?” ad ded the King. ‘I would not give a pin to see him,’ replied the woman ; ‘besides, the fools who have gone to the city, will lose a day’s work and that is more than I can do ; for 1 have five children to whom I must give bread.’ ‘Very good, said the King, putting some mo ney in her hand, ‘you can tell your companions who went to sec the King that the King came to see. you.’ A Sukkwd Boy.—A friend tells us the fol lowing which lie considers a good ! un. Being in a mechanic’s shop an urchin came in, his dress covered wiii, mut. tile father, obser ving his dirty plight said to him—‘William, my’ son how came you to muddy your dress so ! I'he boy stopped a moment, then looking his lather in the eye, very soberly asked ; ‘Father what am I made of? ‘Dust, The Bible says : ‘Dust thon art and unto dust shall thou return.’ ‘Well, father if l am dust, how can I help being muddy when it rains on me ?'—Home Journal. Glowing Description. —A gallant New England Knight of the quill, describing a coun try dance, says; “The gorgeous strings of the class b ;ads now glisten on the heaving bos- I pms of the village Indies, like polished rubies resting oil the surface of warm apple dum rfctosTiNi: Machine. —A cuf spwmfciit, 1 writing ffOui Michigan to the New York Evan- ! gelist, says : *A field of sixty acres was harvested in two \ days as follows : A machine was drawn into i the Bold by sixteen horses, guided by as many boys as necessary. On the front of the machine j a man was stationed to adjust the forks and cir cular knives to the height of the wheat which was thrown back into the machirie. No more was seen of it, till another man in the rear part j of (he machine was seen tying up well tilled ! sacks of pure grain, in perfect order for the fl miring mill. This huge machine (of the i best wheat) harvested and bagged three bush el* iu a minute. ’ i , * A* ‘Lightning and the Telegraph. —Proses-i jor\)ln\stead has written nil essay-on the effect j produced by telegraphic wires on the electrical zflate of the atmosphere. Ho says that during! the approach of a storm especially over the re gion traversed by the wires, for fifty or a hun dred miles distance the lightning is attracted by the wires, as is plainly seen by the effect pro puced in the telegraphic office. The electrici ty of the atmosphere is attracted by the wires and carried hartnlesly off', and the result, accor ding to Professor Olinstead, is that while we have telegraphic wires spread over the earth, wo shall never have very heavy thunder shower or hear of lightning striking.

THE undersigned lias been, for months, past, en gaged, under the direction of his Excellency, Gov. Crawford, in compiling a Map of the State of Georgia, on a scale of six mites to the inch. The undertaking is now nearly completed, and he flatters himself he will receive the favorable patronage of his fellow-citi zens—sufficient, at least, to have it published and placed in a durable form. That a revised delineation is called for, of our ex tensive territory, independently of what exists in the labors of St urges and Greene, will not be questioned. The accumulation and possession, since their times, of a vast body of land designated then as wilderness, or the temporary domain of the Indian tribes, with nat ural objects well worthy “a habitation and a name,” have been converted into organized counties, present ing a dense population, flourishing villages, and ex tensive public and private improvements. The Map to be published (so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers will warrant,) is 5 feet by 4 and 8 inches, and is designed to exhibit as well as perpetuate the present condition of the whole topog raphy ot the State. In addition to the ordinary metes and bounds—courses of rivers and ranges of moun tains, Railroads, Canals, county sites, post offices, fac tories, in fact all remarkable places of the past or pre sent day, will be shown. The attention of the com piler has been particularly directed to a faithful draw ing of county lines and public roads, and to accom plish such important ends, he has not only consulted the original surveys and the acts of various Legisla tures, but he deemed it the better plan to make rough sketches of each county and submit the same to tne Justices ot the Inferior Court, Postmasters, and others equally compent and obliging, and to ask for such additions and corrections as might be necessary, and farther to designate any and all objects of natural cu riosity that might exist. To many, if not all of his requests, kind, prompt and satisfactory answers were received, so that many glaring inaccuracies in the maps heretofore published have been corrected : and the compiler takes this occasion of returning his ac knowledgments to those who favored his objects, as rendering a service not merely to himself, but aiding most materially in the thorough and correct dcvelopc tnentof the whole plan. To his brother Engineers of th<* different Railroads, his thanks are due for the use of niaps which enabled him not onlv to lay down the true courses of limso important works, hut likewise to make profiles exhibiting the elevation above the aea, of every station from (he Atlantic to the Tennessee river.

BY SAMVEL MAUNDER, j A rliorof the “ Treasury of Knowledge, - ’ “Biographical Treasury, ’’ “Literary nnd Scientific Tiensuiv,” Ac. including THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, EDITED BY JOHN IN3IAN, ESQ. ’ I TIIE republication of this valuable Work lias been ■ undertaken partly oil account of the high favor with • which it has been received in England, but chiefly in consideration of its intrinsic value, arising front its | felicitous adaptation of the plan to a want that has been long and generally felt, and from the judgment and fidelity manifested in fts execution. The idea of j giving in a single work, of no very formidable dimen sions, and at a price which bring®’ it within the reach ; of very moderate circumstances, a sufficient outline ol the woild s whole history, and similar outlines of ti e historj ol every nation, is so obviously judicious j and appropriate as to require no euiogiurn. Eveiy person who cares at all tor the acquisition of useful ; knowledge, must desire to possess such a general knowledge of past events, not onlv in his own country but in all countries, as shall enable him to understand the perpetually recurring allusions that are found in almost any course of general reading; because for want of such understanding there is always a serious diminution both of pleasure and profit even in the pe rusal of such works as are designed dnVfiv for amuse ment. For instance, most of Sir Walter Stoll’s nov- I els aj-e founded upon history, and abound with refer ences to historial events and personages, a w ant of | some acquaintance with which detracts seriously fiotn the interest and delight they are so will qualifiid to awaken ; and so of most other works belonging to , the better class of what is called light literature. But the difficulty has been to obtain this general know I -1 edge without going through many books, requiring a | greater expenditure of time and money than most per sons are able or willing to afford ; and to obviate such difficulty has been the purpose of Mr. Maunder ‘ j . I ' s Ike merit of completeness, and is un doubtedly the best that could have been desired lie j gives first a general sketch of ancient and modem history—a rapid and comprehensive bird’s-eve view ias it were, ol the rise and progress of nations the most important incidents of their career, and their re lations to each other : and after this lie takes xv. the nations separately, furnishing a concise digest of all that is important or desirable to know concerning each, and thus affording a sort of key to the changes and events that were more briefly indicated rather by iheir results than their incidents, in the general sketch or outline. Thus the salient points of history are ’ brought w ithin a manageable compass : and an exct l | lent foundation is laid lor more thorough and exten sive reading in reference to any portion ol the world or any epoch of which a knowledge may be desired In the execution nl this plan the author has been very’ successful. His notice of historical events, tho’ brief, arc lucid and satisfactory; and be traces the connection of effect and rause with singular acumen and gctmrally with most commendable freedom from partiality or bias ; thus supplying a very good idea of the philosophy of history as well as ol the facts which I history records. In a word, the work will be found I invaluable to the general reader and a very useful help to the student. ’ ” two v.dunies—Wpo octavo-will, on graving*, *4.
