FKNHE author of this work seems have had in
il view the celebrated treatise of Lacian-'How
history ought to be written Truth in its severity and
reason its manly state, the chief Muses. and Graces
to which he has done obesence. What different view
he has opened of the ofthe nations of
ages from that which has been presented by other
hstorans No wonder that the numbers already issued
have with large sale, and been hailed by frequent
audaory notices from the press of which few abridged
extracts here gven:-
This beautiful octavo-he first volume of DR.. Hebe's
Universal History-forms the primal volume of
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 praneoogy by Chevaer Bunsea,
and other learned investigators among ancient
mental records, have entirely changed the aspect of
primitive times, and revealed so many important, new
data, the wonder has been, that such work the
present should make its appearance, but rather that the
task should have been before attempted in Europe
From a somewhat careful examination of this volume,
however, we find no cause to regret that the theme
should have been reserved for the juddous and labor
Gus pen of DIR Hebbe. To such as cannot command the
leisure for more systematic course oil sudy this work
proves eminently important and valuable, since when
completed, it will form compeuduous library of univer-
sal history, the most accurate and complete exant, and
written up to the spirit of the age. DEM Review.
In regard to the literary execution of this work, we
have spoken the numbers appeared but not fully
its merit deserve. Now examination, we hesitate
not to pronounce that this volume, history of the
earliest period Of mankind, has rival in any single
work of universal history in the English language

DR. Hebbe, by avaifng himself of the light which the
Egyptian heroogst and other investigators of antiquity
have shed the earliest history of man by OF
thory, and by his acute Judgment, his clear philosophy
his deep sympathy with humanity and his enthusiastic
love for bis lavoe study, has produced what may be
termed in many respects original history of the infant
nations of the world The work is written in the most
enlarged liberal spirit and while the author rejects
the supereons of the ancient priesthood he is stout
defender of the immortal and sublime truths of Chris
tianty. Boston Transcript
