We gave full account of this new work while
lis sheets passing through the press. 1t is
now before the public, and The favorable impress.
sion produced by partial examination is fully
hrned. The author evinces great candor with
considerable patience and depth Of research, and
hi, conclusions clearly stated and strongly for
tiled. He rejects the theory which ascribes a
Hebrew origin TO the AborigiEes of this Country,
but contends that the Red Race Is primitive va
re,y of the human famly-that the original Ameri
cans not derived from any nation people
now existing on the other Continent: bur
closely assimila,ed to the red races of Southern
Asia. and probably came thence By way of the In.
dian Archipelago, We shall endeavor to recur to
this work.

OF the making of books there is end, and
specially of School Books. They inundate the

Lat at least. Many regret Ibis; but their steady
and positive improvement more than compensatcs
for the admitted evils which their multiplicity and
variance occasions. But in the teaching OF Elocu
ton there has in our judgement been less progress
han in any other department During the TWEEN
w.6ve years of our remembrance there has been
no sew work in this line decidedly superior for
primary instruction TO the old Columbian Orator
which our studies commenced. The work be-
