We await with interest the appearance of the
Life and Remains Of The late DR., James Marsh,
of the University of Vermont ICON The hands of
Professor Torrey, his successor in the chair of
Moral and intellectual Philosophy Besides many
philosophlc sermons and occasional discourses,
with an outline of Psychology, and Treatise on
Logic, DIR. Marsh left behind him large collec-
lion Of letters, which we understand will make
up the body OF these volumes To the Young,
they will lie among The mos, valuable and insIruc-
tive publications OF the day. The spiri, OF scho-
ar, of a profound thinker, and above all of one
who through his life was The bondman oil duty"
and of TRUTH marks those well as all his other
productions, and gives to them far higher worth
than belongs to much Of The more ambitious liter

gushed by stately growth, and Il true develop

Prof Torrey's translation OF Neander's Churcl
History, work greatly needed by the whole bod
Of theological students in this country. 1t is III
only complete translation of Neander that ha
been made. Two volumes were once presenle
in an English dress, in l.ondoni but the Who'll
eight have never before been translated. The AZ
penrance of n new edition OF the original, in GeI
many, has probably some connection with the de
lay in its publication. Professor Iorrsy has ais
in manuscript a translation OF Schillings Dscours
ON Fine Ar, which we should be glad TO Sc
printed. Professor Benedicl's work on Conchol

siderable progress was nnde in the preparation

scientific men Of his lime. II was left, we believ
in the hands of Mr.. George r. Marsh, known
