Till: I.IIiRIIIV. Mr. Kroude’s late work of History (Mary (jueeu of Hoots), in which lie undertakes the tusk of converting the world to views and conclusions which, to many, are the results of a horrid distort tug of facts, is quite liuble to Ire answered No one can help admiring Mr. Fronde's ability, or Ihe picluiispue braiith ol his Incite pen, but thotl, other tests than the fanciful, must be applied to what proposes to accomplish so much in the present and future, by a curious ripping up of the past History lias for its own three methods. The (list, is the simple narra tive of a journey one may make, with an account of the country through which one pusses, its inhabitants, etc., etc. Hero dotus gives us the host specimens of this method. The sicond, is, in Ihe form of narrative bated on information taken from sources other than one's own, the testimo ny of a third parly. Luke relates Paul's visit to Peter, Polybius, on the informa tion furnished Idm by I.alius, describes the Spanish expedition conducted by Bclpio The third method Is w ithout the author ily of observation The mind uses its eiit ical eyes, only, lb-cords, State papers, medals, coin, etc , etc , are put upon the tbc witness stand Tills is the difficult roU c of the historian. Ilene, he must he trusted, or liis fume uud his woik perishes. Fancy is apt to lie frolicsome, under the combinations of facts, pictures and per sons, and he. must be accurate uud noble, botli in critical knowledge uud in con science w ho would record faithfully. “lie w ho describes what be never saw," says Johnson, "draws from fancy. Rob ertson paints mind, ns Hir Joshua paints ; faces in a history piece " Well, then, it is charged lignin.l Mr | I'roude that ho has made too free use of | his fancy, and too little of his conscience. The remark of the Saturday Review j has passed into the current of common | sayings—lie (Fronde) "does not seem to ‘ have fully grasped the nature of inverted commas," which is a remark applicable to smaller hr greater minds than bis; though it does bailie even a learned ingenuity to ascertain how, properly, and in the com ma style, to credit nature for all that wc manage to pilfer from her stores. Mr. James F. Mellue, in a slashing anj, we must suy, a very ably written book, en titled, "J lory (Juecn of fieotn itrul her latent Knylinh Ilietorinn," leaves nothing to be desired in the w ay of a critical demolition of James Anthony Fronde. It is beyond our present purpose lo set before our readers Ihe method and sub stance of Mr Moline's masterly criticism. Our readers would thus he forestalled, or at least their mental appetite would be, probably, weakened, for wliat is in store for them iu All . Moline's hook, w hich wc urge them to procure. Suffice it to say, that those easy old dupes—whose accurate knowledge of his tory will compare favorably, may be, with the snail's conception of geography,—and wlm have made unseemly baste to blow Mr. Fronde's trumpet for him, will make equal baste lo declare Ihe nature and ex tent ol their mental reservations, it they are Induced to read Mr. Meline ( nfortuimtely, the thirst for necuiate knowledge is not equal to the ignorance to he enlightened, and the aristocracy —so pretending—of would he American criti cism, beginning with Emerson and ending with lleecher, w ill not, probably, appreci ate Mr. Meline. If Mr. Fronde s histories he lie lions, his "wrongs of Ireland" which appear so rosy from his English standing point, will have to be looked ul inverted, and lie himself will probably, be sent home, labelled—an unmitigated humbug -a a- ini. iii itvr in i. \\ bile the actual loss in tiro money sense, by llm Inn mug of Boston, is not as luigc as It was nt Hist estimated, few poi sons can conceive tiro fulness anil extent of it. One hundred millions is n hugli sum, while to this must lie added that which is beyond cstrmulc tho rebound upon all departments of business, uud the inevitable strain upon the vital energies of tho whole country It Is u mistake to suppose that any portion of the country eirn claim exemption. Everywhere at home, and in Europe, the struggle is now going on. And from all parts the most noble sympathy in action limls appropri ate expression. Our pwn see Him, yet in Ihg dust and gloom, is not behind unj in tkt genuine, brotherly sympathy, which is fruitful of good results. The tone of our Press is one and un mistakable. The past is buried, and the present is good to behold. Our noble people unite in words nud deed* worthy of them and their fathers—aud lioston. as well as all New England cannot fall to be deeply moved hy what is felt and known. We cannot foiget the destruction of our own most beautiful cities and private homes . the wide spread desolation of our fairest country . the subsequent unfeeling, unrelenting actions of that spirit for which New England is largely responsible. llut, iu the hit id glare of lioston iu flames, we forget all but tbe facts, of our own woes, and open our hearts and our hands in deep felt commiseration aud uu mixed sympathy ' We offer prayers for the shelterless and the exposed. We ut Ur woids of courage to the downcast and btokcu iu spirit. Ami the genius of forti tude aud hojH*. will not fail to point our now deeply afflicted brothels—once iu arms against us—to examples which it iUI-becoines to reproduce 1 It requires great heat to weld. Strong lies aic burned by mutual suffeiings aud trials The bauds of woe aud the scourge* of providence bold and unite peoples with the grasp that never yields. May- it not be so, that, having been driven through the fires ami visited with the awful scourge fnt oju purification and salvation ! it must nqfy bo, that the instruments in our humiliation and widespread woe, enter iu many ways, tho narrow path and undergo [ the judgments of truth and justice. As great extremes meet and cohere in the crucible—so dissentient peoples and •ecllons arc bound together by the bittcr ne-s of experience as well as by what arc culled common aims uud hopes. Ho it is, that Ihe South sends lender, earnest, brotherly greeting to the stricken ones in the North, with whatever material aid our poor abilities can command jintikti. Whatever contributes to the intelli gence, and moral force of tbc uge is wurtliy of ull attention, even if one cannot accept, in whole or in part, the given revelation or philosophy. Hincccarly years, we have been deeply Interested In what may be tailed Jewish character and Hebrew phil osophy, and have long wished to hear or read a characteristic history or compen dium of the subject, as it presented itself to our mind. Dr. Isaac M. Wise, editor or the Israelite, and a most profound liberal Jewish scholar—in a mimic rof conversa tions, gome years since, and since the death of our beloved tutor and friend Dr. Rupliall of New York, gave us a sketch of tvliat he termed the philosophy of the Jews, and so astonished us with his care fully worded hut liberal thoughts, that they Imvo been, in a measure, inspirations to us ever since. We see, by the Cincinnati Enquirer that the Doctor is delivering a course of lectures iu that eily on tho subject, the tirst of which, in a brief synopsis, we pre sent to our readers to-day. If any one is curious to know why we attach w much Importance to this subject, we Imvo this to suy at present The highest civilization and the blessed harmony of the peoples of the earth will he lculi/.cd, when the true Hiatus philosophically and religiously of Clod's ancient people, is understood and appreciated. Hut hear Dr. Wise mi. wish's i.ectuke — the ririLosoiMiv OP THE JEWS. Or. Wise is in the habit of annually de livering a course of lectures upon some philosophical or literary subject connected with the history of Iris race, and this year lie Iras selected thu “Philosophy anil Philosophers of the Jews." Jt is a topic eminently adapted to the extensive arid profound erudition of tire learned Kabbi, and one which cannot fail to he illustrated by the deep thought which has character ized every lecture he has given in the past. To most men the history of Israel is confiucd to tho Biblical narrative or the pages of Josephus, varied only by an oc casional and very imperfect reference to the persecutions the hatiuii has miller gone, particularly in Spain mid Russia, hut more or less in different by-gone ages, at the bunds of almost every people on earth. But in the history of the Jows there is u mine of wealth undiscovered, except by learned men like l)r Wise, whom Cineinnatiiins are proud of placing hr the very front ranks of the Tal mudic scholars of the age. From the earliest times, with a few brief intervals up to the present the history of thu Jews bus literally teemed with bright examples in every branch of literature mid art, and us Dr. Wise proposes to bring down his story to so late n date us Mendelssohn the Brand, lie will till up a gap in history with which but very few are conversant, uml every literary man will be glad to hear that u lecture will be delivered at tire I’lum street Temple every Friday evening until the course is complete. Yesterday evening was the introducto | ry lecture, and Dr. Wise commenced by saying that as so much dogmatism and mysticism had been spoken and published it was time for the voice of reason to be heard, uud accordingly ho should treat the philosophy and philosophers of the Jews with some regard to plain common sense, and endeavor to make liis whole course of lectures us popular ns the subject would permit. He then brietly referred to viiriotisc definitions of philosophy, and said " l’liilosupliy is tire system of the Kosnros brought into ideas distinguished from re ligion iu that re ligiou Ims tire authority of books uud of tradition, while philosophy points to reason only, and its only author ity is the humau mind. Philosophy is fur ther distinguished from religion in that religion is a finished system ; whereas philosophy is never finished, but ever ex- j (rands with tho process of the ages and the growtli of thu human nrind. It can never propound with binding elfeet, because its increase in thought and learning never ceases ; uud while religion enjoins us to obey God, philosophy' bids us to listen to reason. Tor all this, however, they are twin sisters, and it is yet an open question whether nil the dif ferent cults are not organically the oil spriug of one. I think,” he went on to say, "that that is the only true religion which is based upon philosophy, and that only the true philosophy which is based upon the natural religious conceptions of man kind. There is. then, aChristain philoso phy, a Jewish, a lirnbmin and a Moham medan philosophy; and I must go yet fur ther, and add a Catholic and Frotostnut philosophy. All commence with religion, because iu religion are hound up the doc trines of the relations between God and man aud man. Therefore also, philoso phy may bo said to he cradled in the re ligion iu which wo are born. However high the ideas of a man tuay rise, they are still inextricably inlet twined with the religious sentiments instilled in his curliest y ears. Hence most believers iu the religion of their childhood are hon est in their convictions, vvheteaa the con trary is too frequently the case with pros elytes. The Christian may become a Jew, or the Jew a Christian, hut iu any such 1 change eaily religious impressions are rarely, if ever, thoroughly eradicated. Consequently the origin of all systems of philosophy, such as those of Greece, France. Holland and Germany are plainly marked, ami as the Gentile nations have their distinct systems, so has Judaism its own, a Jewish philosophy, written by Jews, with Jewish conceptions, despite all the efforts which have been made to strip it of its Jewish garb. In the lectures which follow 1 shall therefore necessarily dwel upon the scientific, literary and social iul Alienees which have presided ut its birth or guided its career. "After the Hihle was translated into Greek a school of Eclectics arose, who en deavored to harmonize reason with faith, ami from Philo we learn the theories of the thinkers of Alexandria. They, how ever, are more nearly akin to an investi gation iuto the origin of Christianity than an inquiry into the history of the'jews. T he 1 rimtarian doctrine, or at least its un broken permaueuce. must also be attribu ted to Philo, for had it not been for him the Christians would, I think, instead of a Trinity in Unity, have adopted three gods. Then came the age of casuistry, antagon istic to philosophy, and after Constantine the schools were closed and no one dared to attempt to reason philosophy upon any subject in which religion or even politics were involved. Among tho Jews the Uubbinied system prevailed, and as men are ruled by terror more easily than by any other agent, care was taken to keep up the idea of a goqd, active devil, with plenty of minor devils, and an infusion of fire and brimstone. Superstition was pre-eminent, and tlie people bowed their heads and said amen. IScfurcMohummcd was boru an obscure Jewish sect, culled the Karreites, muse, who did not believe the Talmud, and while the Uabbinists leaned upon authority, the Karreites relied upon reason, and thus they were tlie lirst Jewish philosophers. And when the Arabs captured Spain and began to study Greek, nnithematics and medicine, the Rabbinical Jews began to study philosophy, and of these Saddaiah was the first, (or the Greek philosophy was redressed in Arab garb, and Jews ar gued with Jews, and Mohammedan with Mohammedan, philosophy arose from the clash of thought. Its cradle was in Spain Portugal, IJagdad it then passed into Italy, and thence into Holland and Ger many. The thinkers of these countries in the middle ages, so frequently called blasphemous fanatics, were the very men who preserved the times, in which they livid from Hie veil of one black night, and alone made the civilisation of the nineteenth century possible. It is the cu rcer and thoughts of these men of tlie Jewish race who have contributed to the attainment of this great end.” A\IY.QVJICE.HENTS. A. F.
