Any newspaper criticism upon or commendation
of this great work at THE day must be supererOg
atory The name Of GuIzoT has won its way to
the understandings Of scholars, the hearts of phi
lanthropists. We prefer to give place to the fol-
lowing brief extract, which may Indicate to those
unfamiliar with it toe spirit of this work:

b, this term is not comprised in the simple idea
Of .ocia wcll-beng and happiness; and, ifN" look
licteid deeper, We discover that besides the pro-
gress and meliorarion Of social life another dcSel
opement It's comprised in our notion of civilization;
namely, the development OF individual life, the de-
veopmeut Of the humas nInd ami It's faculties
the Development Of man himself.
