We rejoice that this work has been republished in this country, and we cannot too strongly commend it to tho serious perusal of the churches of every name. — Ch. Alliance Its arguments and appeals are well adapted to rouso to action, and the times call for such a book, which we trust will be universally read. — N. Y. Ob server. This is eminently a timely production, from an author who is already a great favorite with the pub lic. — N. K. Puritan. Avery seasonable publication.

Revised with notes, relating principal ly to authors prominent in the late Revolution at Paris, by Wm. S. Chase. With a fine portrait of LaA artine. Th is Treatise has received the highest praise as a comprehensive and thorough survey of the various departments of Modern French Literature. It con tains biographical and critical notes of all the promi nent names ui Philosophy, Criticism, History, Ro mance, Poetry, and the Drama ; and presents a full and impartial consideration of the Political Tenden cies of France, as they may be traced in the writings of authors equally conspicuous as scholars and as statesmen. Mr. Chase, who has been tho Parisian correspondent of several leading periodicals of this country, is well qualified, from a prolonged residence in France, his familiarity with its Literature, and by a personal acquaintance with many of these au thors, to introduce the work of De Vericour to the American public. “ This is the only complete treatise of the kind on this subject, either in French or English, and has received tho highest commendation. Mr. Chase is well qualified to introduce the work to the public. The book cannot fail to be both useful and popular.” —N. Y. Eve.

Gould. extracts from the preface. “ The design of this work is to furnish an epitome of the leading principles of the science of Zoology, as deduced from the present state of knowledge, so illustrated as to be intelligible to the beginning stu dent. No similar treatise now exists in the coun try, and, indeed, some of the topics have not been touched upon in the language, unless in a strictly technical form and in scattered article l Being designed for American students, the illus trations have been drawn, as far as possible, from American objects Popular names have been employed as far as possible, and to the scientific names an English termination has generally been given. Tho first is devoted to Comparative Physi ology, as the basis of Classification ; the second, to Syste mat ic Zoology, in which the principles of Clas sification will be applied, and the principal groups of animals briefly characterized. A work emanating from so high a source as the “ Principles of Zoology,” har-lly requires commen dation to give it currency. The public have become acquainted with the eminent abilities of Prof. Agas siz, through his Lectures, and are aware of his vast learning, wide reach of mind, and popular inode of illustrating scientific subjects. In the preparation of this work, he has had an able coad utor in Dr. A. A. Gould, a frequent contributor to the Transactions of the Boston Society of Natural History, and at present engaged upon the department of Concholo gy, for the publication of the late expl ning expedi tion. The volume is prepared for tho student in Zoological Science; it is simple and elementary in its style, full in its illustration, comprehensive in it3 range, yet well condensed, and brought into the narrow compass requisite for the purpose intended. — Silliman's Journal, June, 18-48.

MARSHALL, of Macon, Georgia, would call the attention of the public to a num ber of certificates published, and which he will con tinue to publish ia various papers in the State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In the treatment of Fistula recourse is generally had to the knife, which is always painful, and often hazardous, and very fre quently unsuccessful. More than one half of the cases that have come under his care of late, have been subjected to the knife Avithout experiencing the least benefit, but rather made worse. They were perfectly cured by Dr. M., without the use of the knife, or any such operation, without the least danger, and with but little or no pain. In most eases, the treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits of business, al though the patient is necessarily obliged to be under the immediate care and supervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks, accordingly as the nature and circumstances of the case may demand. Dr. M. does not ‘exaggerate, when ho says that, the plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to suc ceed in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred, if not in every case, and will guarantee and warrant a cure in every case of Fistula. For further information, Dr. M. refers to bis pamphlet, which contains a considerable accumula tion of evidence in favor of the utility of hispractice in cases of Fistula. All letters, post-paid, will be immediately attend ed to. Reference to the following persons, whohavebeen cured of late. Their residence and Post-office is given, that they may be written to on the subject of the cures: Cornelius M Sharp, Duo West Corner, Abbeville District, S. C.

Due West Corner, > Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, ’4B. y Dr. W. W. Marshall Dear Sir,—Believing, as I do, that you have effectually cured me of the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful, and dan gerous disease, I take pleasure in contributing my mite for the purpose of relieving the sufferings of those who may be afflicted with a similar disease. I suffered from the painful effects of this disease for more than two years. Three or four physicians, combining the talent of the State, were employed for my relief, but their united efforts were unsuccess ful. My health grew worse and worse—l became debilitated in body and mind, and my friends enter tained fearful apprehensions of my non-recovery. Casually looking over a paper published in Charles ton, S. C , my attention was arrested bv a notice of the signal professional services of Dr. W. W. Mar shal 1 , of effecting a cure in cases of Fistula, &c. I he card purported to effect a cure without tho use of knife or caustic. 1 must say my faith was weak, rut I resolved to give him a trial. I placed myself under his care and treatment. lie his effected a perfect cure; my whole fame is invigorated; he has infused, new life into iny hitherto dead body; 1 have experienced a resurrection from the dead, and all the energizing and renovating effects of anew creation. lam in very deed anew man. My bet ter com ictions are that you have saved me from an untimely death, which the use of the knife or caus tic could not have prevented, but hastened. Yours, respect!ullv. CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
