mos in this earthly career On the contrary, the
sweetest and most genial humanity rad,ates
through his pages. He sees Nature as she 49,
harmobions IN all her laws and movements, and
ever ready to become subservient to Man, hes
master. He sees Man as he is, gaining ever IN
power over the world around him, aud rising ever
to loftier and nobler stature He sees Society as

ETY., he demonstrates the sure pledge OF peace,
Justice, abundance and happiness. The law OF
Nature, of Man and of Society, is harmony
That law is active now and active always En-

its complete manifestation and its perfect fruits.
II "THE PAPERS OF LEWIS MoRRrs."
tsvo pp. 1886. George P. Putnam This is an i'm
portant collection of historical documents comprs
ing the letters and dispatches OF the Provincial Gov
eTnor of New-Jersey during the period antecedent
to the Revolution, reaching from 1873 to l746. The
materials of which it 10 composed have been OBJ
tanned from authentic sources and with two or three
exceptions, have never before been in print. They
are here presented in their original form, only such
extraneous matter having been admitted into the
volume as was deemed essential TO the calculation
of the topics introduced. Gov Morris had an extern
sive correspondence with leading public characters
both in England and in the Provinces. The selec-
ton contain ed in this volume absunds in suggestive
illustrations OF the struggle between the executive
and legislative po wers, which at that time was con-
Quoted with incorporating vigor. To the historf-
cal student the volume will be found to possess q
rare interest Issued under the auspices of the
New-Jsrsey Historical Society, and edited BY the
Corresponding Secretary, WIN. H. WHITEHEAD, it
contains sufficient amount of explanatory matter,
without in any instance overlooking the original
with impertinent comment The notes are uni
formiy brief, modest, and Apostle with no Osenta-
ton of historic lore, but showing a diligence and
discretion which cannot fail to be highly appreci-
ated by those who familiar with the difficulties
and temptations OF antiquarian research. We ten
der sincere welcome TO the volume, and are CRATE.
full to the zeal and good judgment which are dig
played In its preparation.
Ey Fresh LEAVES FROM WESTERN

merit. We believe Miss Fuller enjoys high repu.
tation for intellect and character in the vicinity of
her Western home. We have no disposition to
question the justice of the popular verdict But
cannot but think that she has yielded to indscreet
advisers in the publication OF the present volume.
No pure literary fame ever established on such
production The thoughts are common. place, the
conception ofthe principal stories is highly melsdra.
matte, and the execution in the most inflated and
tawdry style of snowy exaggeration. The whole
volume contains scarcely touch of simple genuine
nature. Mawkish sentmentaty, sickly intensity OF
passion and overdrawn gorgeousness of description
form the staple of its contents. We have seldom
been doomed to read such illusions of fine writing
with malice prepense and we trust that hereafter
the growing, bountful literature Of the West will
escape all similar perversites The broad prairies,
1t would seem, should be no place for walking ON
stills We glad to believe that the style of this
volume is only temporary epidemic, and that the
author will be restored to "sanity of genius" and
natural vigor Of expression. Her publishers, too,
have caught the perilous infection-may it prove
the last case-and under its Juror esteemed Buff
fao booksellers express themselves in prese ran
mad. Here is their business notice of the work
The broad ana blooming West, 80 rich in sylvan
adOrr ment, and so prolific In wild flowers OF rare
odor an unrivaed beauty, is becoming equally noted
Tor the IedOleIt blossoms OF genius which prank the
hearth OF It's prairie homes. Each year adds to the
number OF the latter, which are expanding with
wonderful rspidity. and displaying an opulence of
foliage almost astonishing. The leaves which they
early fling TO the WINDS retain, in many instances
perennial vsrdure and fragrance, and too lovely
to be Odden under foot In the retreats OF rural in
