were written; and their full purport, their
profound significance, can only be apprecia-
ted by readers whose minds possess nt least
the seeds of sympathy with this sublime
philosophy. The chapter on the Quakcrs
is n pregnant psychological trca'ise.-
Sparkling all over with the electric lights of
rich humaniIarian philosophy, it invests
the theologic visions Of Fox and Barclay
with radiance and beauty which have
BEEN i'll preserved in the formal and lifcless
organic systems Of their successors. Tho
parallel run by the historian between Will
liam Penn ard John Locke is one of the
most CHARACTERISTIC productions Of his pecu>
liar genius. Original, subtle, suggestive,
crowded with matter and frugal of words, i
brings out the distinctive features of the
spiritual and mechanical schools in the per-
sons Of two Of their representative men"
with q breadth and reality which is seldom
found in philosophical porirailurcs. Mr.
Bancroft was a son of an eminent Unitarian
clergyman in Worcester, Massachusetts,.
lie was born about the beginning ol the
present ceniarY, and is consequently little
more than fifty years Of age. lie graduated
at Harvard University, with distinguished
honors, before he had completed his fils
teenth year Soon after he sailed for Eu-
rope, and continued his studies at the Ger
man Universities, returning 10 his owl
country just before the attainment OF his
majority. Devoiing himself for several
years to literary and educational pursuits
he acquired brilliant reputation as poet,
critic, and essayist and at subsequent pc
rod, entering the career Of politics, he ha'
signalized himself by his attachment to de-
mocraic IDEAS, and the eloquence and force
with which on all occasions he has sustained
the principles with the prevalence Of whicl
he identifies he progress of humanity.

The Old Turnpike.

We hear no more Of the clnnking hoof,
And the stage coach rafting by;
For the steam ling rules the travelled world,
And the old pixies left to die.
The grass crecps DER the hInty path,
And the stealihy daisies steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel
No more the weary s,nger breads
The toll Of coming norm
No more the busiling landlord runs
AT the sound Of the echong horn;
For the dust lies siill upon The road,
And the bright. eyed children play
Where once the clattcring hoof aud wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more do we hear the cracking whip,
Or the strong whec $ rumbling sound;
And nhl the waters drive us on,
And an iron-horsc IS found
The coach stands rusting in the yard,
And the horse has sought the plough;
We have spanned The world with an IRON rail
And the stcam.kirg rules us now!
The old turnpike is pike 70 more,
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made us a road for our horse 10 stride
Which we Tide at flying rate;
We have filled the valleys and lcvelled the hills
And tunnclled the moupiuin sidc
And round the rough Gags dizzy verge,
Fcarlcssly now we ride
On-on-on-wiiha naughty font
a puff, shrek, and a bound:
While the tnrdy echoes wake too late
To tabble back the sound:
And the old pike road is left alone
| And the stagcrs seek the plough
| We have circlcd the earth with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us now

George Bancroft.

Among the historians who have attain.
ed il high and deserved reputation in The
United States within the last few years, we
are inclined 10 yield the first place TO
George Bancroft. His great work on the
" History of the United States has been
brought down from the commencement Of
American colonization 10 the opening OF
the Revolutionary War, 10 which subject il
is understood that he intends devoIing the
three succt eding volumes. His researches
in the public Offices of England, while he
was Minister of the United States al the
Court OF ST. james, have brought 10 light a
great mass OF documentary evidence on
the an,ecedcnls and course of The Revolu-
ton, which have not yet been made public.
With his critical sagacily in sitting evil
dence, his huund>like instinct in seeming
every particle of testimony that can lead
him on the right track, and his plastic skill
in moulding he most confused and Giscor-
dant materials into compact, symmetrical,

With strong social tastes, be gives little

library where he abors the live-long day
in the spirit of the ancient artist, Nulla dies

diplomatic life, 10 less Than his rare aud
generous culture, and his singular union OF
the highest mental faculties, enable us to
predict with confidence that this work will

and their boldness and grace Of lteir

A still higher praise may be awarded to
this history for the tenaeiiy with which it
clngs 10 the DONNA nj and inspiring idea of
which il records The development. Who
ever reads il, without comprehending the
standpoint Of the author, is liable to disap-
pontment. For il must be confessed that
as mere narrative of events, the prefer
ence may be given to the productions OF
far inlerior authors. But il is TO be regard
ed as an epic in prose OF The triumph Of
freedom. This noble principle is considered
by Mr.. Bancroft as 40 essential attribute Of
the soul, necessarily asserting itself in pro-
portion to th G spiritual supremacy which
has been achieved. The history, then, is
devoted 10 the illustration Of the progress OF
freedom, as an out-birh of the spontaneous
action of the soul. 1t is in this point Of
view that the remarkable chapters on the
