1T decided terms by such scholars as Pro-

nc not the least doubt, that he had not only

NV EDITION OF LIvY-Messrs. AppletOns Of
New York have recently published new selsc-
ION from Liry for the use Of Schools, and Col
leges with notes, BY Prof John l.. Lincoln Of
Brown University, which we wish TO introduce
10 the notice Of our western teachers.
The work contains "a pages Of text ana lis
pages Of notes, with two valuable maps, one OF
lie city Of Rome, the other Of Hannibal's route
over the Alps. Ii is beautifully printed, land
correctly, go far as a somewhat minute eIamina-
ton Of the first 50 pages may enable Us TO
judge,) the selections are made with taste and
Judgment, and the notes are Just what stu
dent needs, condensed, scholsrliks, and giving
the results Of the latest investigation. We
think they are hardly cOpiOus enough for the
average Of students, but, like the laadlady's tea,
are verv gesd, what there is Of them, and, as
compared to the plentiful scarcity Of Folsom's
edition, are really cutie copious. The extracts
consist Of nearly all the immortal first book,
whose imperishable LEGENDS are embslmed in the
memory Of the civilized world, cOpious selsc-
tions from the four succeeding ones, and the
twsnty-frst and twenty-sscond books entire,
confusing Hsnnibsl's crossing Of the Alps,
and indispensable first Campaign in Italy. We
cordially commens it to teachers, unreservedly
inGssd. eEcsDt an occasional archaism, in spell
ing, with which bows eught net to be bothered,
and IN. occasional want Of a note on a hard
place, both small faults, easily remedied, and
Which Mr. Lincoln, with submission
". hope, will mend the next edition,
Il would give US sincere pleasure 10 see, from
Prof Lincoln's hand, a complete edition Of the
,-reSt Roman histOrian-it would be a labor
wor''hT Of his talents and scholarship, and, with
the ,bun 3snt materials at command, a work
might h Dro. Igcsd which would be an honor 20
him. and = nobls addition 10 the literature Of
America.
MAssACHusrrTs QUaErISIT REvIEw.-We
have Just received the first numsSr Of this work
for whiCh we have been looking wa great IN
tsrest, but have not had time vet to rea1 Il
We are unable, therefore, at present, to do NEE
than acknowledge its receipt, as we are not
blessed with the happy faculty of writing re-
views Of books with which our acquaintance
does not extend beyond the titls-page. And
certainly had we this power, we should not
cream Of exercising it in regard TO a work like
the one before US, which comes from men ieho
TANK, and who have the power snc will TO
make their readers think. In the next number
Of the Examiner, we hope 10 be able 10 speak
at length Of the work, its purposes and its pres
poets The first number, judging from the Ia
bic Of contents, must be sEcsedingly interesting
and valuable.
TIKI UUOS MAsAzINE, Edited By Mrs. c.
NJ. KiTkiaRd-We have received the Deem
Der Number Of this beautiful Magazine, The
contents are unusually good. even for this, the
best periodical Of its kind in our country. We
have heretofore given evidence of the high es-
timatiOn in which we held it, in the copiousness
Of our extracts. We shall avail ourselves of its
stores TO enrich our columns frequently, us such
eonUersiSR-the wise call it-may be all hum
bic means Of serving contemporary, whilst we
Crafty our readers and ourselves.
The present number closes the first volume,
and we trust our friends will not suffer a new
one TO begin without emitting themselves as sub
scnbsrs, TO its rich monthly feast.
.NENoPHoN's MENoRABuIA-A new edition
OF these most precious remains of Antiquity has
Just bsen issued by Rev. K. ID. {. Robbins, Lii
brsriaH Of Andover Theological Seminary. No
book in tue Greek better deserves good editing,
and we think Pachard's edition Cthe only one &C.
csssible in the United States can be much i'm
proved. Mr.. Robbins is known as the eransla-
tor Of the valuable work Of Hengsten BORG on
Egypt, and is Undoubtedly well qualified to
produce learned and useful edition ofthe Mem
srsbilis.
THEODORE SEDGwIcE-The address OF this
distinguished and noble minded man at Union
college, has been published, and is highly spck-
en- Of IN the Journals. His theme was a most
interesting and fertile one, and few men are bet
ter able or better entitled TO speak Of the duties
OF American citizens than one who fulfls them
