The author of this work seems to have had il
constant view the celebrated treatise of Ladian--
"How history ought to be written" Truth ir
its severity, and in its manly state, are the
chief muses. and graces to which he has done ODE
dience. What different view has he opened tc
US of the state of the nations OF by gone ages from
that which has been presented to us by other his
torians! No wonder that the numbers already is

by frequent audatory notices of the press of which
few abridged extracts here are given:
This beautiful octavo--the first volume of DR..
Hebbe's Universal History-forms the primal vo.
ume OF new and improved work, devoted to
the history OF the Universe, based not merely on
the universally received data of former historians,
bur derived from the best authorities, attested by
the revelations of modern discovery. The recent
researches in phraneology, by Chevalier Bunsen,
and other learned investigators. among ancient
monumental records. have entirely chanGed the
aspect OF primitive times ana IeVeaied SO many
important new data, the wonder has been not that
such work as the present should make Its ap-
pearance but rather that the task should not have
been before attempted in Europe. From some
what careful examination of this volume, how.
ever, we find no cause to regret that the theme
should have been reserved for the judiclous and
laborious pen Of DR.. HEBBE. To such as cannot
command the leisure for more systematic course
of study, this work proves eminently important
and valuable, since when completed it will form
a compendlous library of universal history, the
most accurate and complete extant, aud written
up 10 the spirit of he age.-Democratic Reviesc.
In regard to the literary execution of this work,
we have spoken as the numbers appeared, but mol
as fully as its merits deserve. Now, ON re-exam-
ination, we hesitate not to pronounce that this
volume, as history of the earliest period OF man
kind, has no rival in any single work Of universal
history in the English Language. ~. y Tribune.
The author of the Universal History, now in
publication, Judging from the portion OF il alrea-
DIV published, is equal to his task. He comes to
it prepared by 20 years OF study, ana iamliiar
acouaintance with all the necessary authorities,
not only those 10 whom we look for solid records
as facts but those who have gone beneath the sur
face of events and tracked the source of political
convusions by a thousand ways back to the hid
den heart of some great principle Graham's
Magazine.
Dr.. HnBBE, by availing himself OF the light
which the Egyptian hierologists and other inves-
tigators of antiquity have shed on the earliest his
tory of man by means of authority, and by his
acute judgment, his clear philosophy, his deep
sympathy with humanity, and his enthusiastic
love Tor his favorite study, has produced what
may be termed in many respects an original his
tory of the infant nations of the world. The work
is written in the most enlarged and liberal spirit |;
and while the author rejects the superstitlons of
the ancient Priesthood, he is a stout defender of
the immortal and sublime truths of Christianity

The style of DR.. HEBBE, though written in a
tongue foreign to him, is always flowing and ami
mated sometimes even eloquent and sublime
