The chapters Of this work appeared originally in the col
umns Of the London Spectator where they attracted
much attention They subsequently, published in
collective though cheap form by the friends OF Phrc
biological Science The work having been favorsby
ceiyed and widely read second and more costly edi
ton demanded, of which the present is reprint
with notes by Mrs Farnham which greatly enhance its
value We cannot too earnestly commend It's facts and
he rcasonings the attention of those whom rests
the responsibility Of framing and administering our
laws The disposition TO decry in advance and with
out fair Investigation every theory that may be pro-
posed is unhappy too prevalent but Truth ultimately

we do not firm only ask for them fair aud
candid hearing II they must be rejected let it be done
dspassona,cly and under the influence OF reason not in

by Ezra c. SEAMAN (oi De.rot) has been issued here
by Baker & Scribner las Nassau.st We have already
spoken quite fully in communication OF this work yet
have said less than its merits deserve. Ii is most
truthful end instructive work, which should find place
in our Village and School Libraries and be studied by
every fresidc. All men in republic should possess
some knowledge OF at least the elements OF Political
Economy, and yet how few really do possess itt
vague instinct of self interest, few cherished saws
and rude notion OF what Experience has taught
these compose the sum of what Is known Of Political
Economy by the majority. The ponderous volumes
in which the Science q is taught usually naccessi
bic to the the OF readers and scarcely Ineligible il
hand TO say nothing of the radical errors which run
through most of them. Mr.. Seaman's work will be
readily understood by any one, and read ii
without acquiring broader and user views OF National
Policy and wise Public Economy. We mean to con-
dense and publish several articles based these Essays
