tisn, remind irQuirers that have set forth my
views on the above named aud many ether topics
of grave Importance in the volume entitled as
above, and that it must be far less bu7densome TO
each inquirer to purchase copy Of it than TO me
to answer specially repeatedly and hurriedly,
questions which are treated far more thoroughly
in my book than can treat them in these columns

pressure of the knowledge that the space is need

my views worth considering If they will first con

These Hints make no pretensions to style,
rhetoric, erudition nor wit, and arc probably not
as entertaining as & Waverley novel. They can
have little attraction for any but earnest minds
and for those especially who believe that tho
world may be made better by resoute, unsel6sh,
perseyerng effort, and who esteem the up build
Ing of any sect or class OF small Importance com
pared with this great end. Nevertheless they
have been warmly commended by large NUM-.
Der of the most influential journals including
many which have the least possible sympathy
with their average tendencies The following
selected from among many similar notices will
give fair idea of the comments induced by the
appearance of the work
