This beautiful octavo-the first volume of DR.. Hebe's
Universal History-fOrms the primal volume of new
and improved work. devoted 10 the history Of the Uni
verse; based merely the usually received data of
former historians but derived from the best authorities
attested by the revelations of modern discovery The
recent researches in phraneoOgy by Chevaer Bunsea,
aud other learned investigators among ancient mOnu-
mental records, have entirely changed the aspect Of
primitive tunes, and revealed so many important, new
data the wonder has been, not that such work the
present should make its appearance but rather that the
task should have been before attempted ia Europe.
