History or Chlvalry nv T. Il R.,

hsssory OF Cbtvairy by y. J. y. Roy.
This volume belongs TO the series entitled
'BibIiOfheqne de Ia Jesnesse Ckretienne," pub
lished at Tours. The series consists of two
or three hundred volumes, Of various sizes, from
ovo to ismo., beautifully printed, and iIIustra-
ted with steel engravings. Mr.. J. v. Cowling
has several works belonging to the series, sever.
al Of which we have examined, with a great
deal Of pleasure. This history of Chivalry is
an exceedingly instructive and entertaining
work. IL gives very satisfactory account of
the customs and ceremonies connected with
this remarkable institution. Few more inter-
esting books could he put into the hands of the
young student Of the French language. We
present a few extracts, which tend to show that
no labor Is In itself degrading. The sons Of the
most noble knights, while preparing themselves
for the duties Of chivalry, performed such ssryi.

ell projects of Emancipation. In the face of
these strong indications Of the will Of the domi-

of Emancipation, thus throwing the whole

For this. we honor Mr.. Clay; and no disap-

the details Of his scheme of Emancipation, shall
prevent tho expression Of our appreciation In this
respect
"Again: Mr.. Clay recognises the Identity of
the human race, its equality in natural rights,
the wrongfulnssss of Slavery, its inconsistency
with the professed principles Of this Republic;
and he thrusts aside, a. unworthy of serious no
