ling describes them One striking fact he records:
all this gold is wages for labor-the reward OF
industry; but all the precious metals obtained in
the sixteenth md seventeenth centuries we're the
produce of slayes--they were extorted or stolen
from the Indians We may infer, therefore, that
one great difference in the effect of the two disco
veries will be that the rewards Of labor will now be
generally increased. The former discoveries con-
signed whole nations of Indians to degradation

Portraits and Memoirs of Eminent Amer;cans By
John LIVINGSTON, of the New York Bar. New
YORK CORNISH, LAmPoRr & Co
Here is a magnifcently executed work. in two
volumes, on fine clear paper, with gilt edges,
bound in blue and gilt, containing large number
of engravings, in very creditabie style of art.
II is a fine specimen of artistic skill. II makes
out as strong prind face in its favor as any
work that has recently fallen under our notice
On closer examination, however, we find the
work collection of the biographies of bank presi-
dents and obscure lawyers, OF any men apparently
who have been willing to pay for the privilege of
seeing themselves in print. We do not know
where Mr.. JOHN LivIFesToN, of the New York
bar, could have formed his ideas Of % eminence >,
but we do not hesitate to say that there is not
page of the New York Directory that would not
furnish at beast score of names equally entitled
with most of the subjects of Mr.. LIVINGSTON to be
immortalized in his pages. There are not dozen
names in his books that can be considered of "emi
nence" beyond that of the mercantile gentlemen
we meet with by hundreds on Broad way or in Wall
street any fair day in the year. If Mr.. LIVING
sToN bad given US his volumes With title that
indicated the nature of their contents, we should
not have censured them for not being what they did
not pretend to be. But why take the catalogue of
bank presidents throughout the country, and the
q
every name they contain, and undertake to make
them all eminent on condition of remittance
to pay for the portrait and letter-press This may
be very well for the subjects, but why impose on
the community by pretending to furnish lives of
eminent Americans?
We design to except from these very general
remarks the few really eminent men who are
found in these volumes-men W hoare distinguished
for something beyond the fact of having made
money in trade. Nor do we intend to include in
them the two very tteminent'' members of the pre-
sent House of Representatives, who have recently
become 30 by moving adjournments for the pur-
pose of obstructing the public business. Mr.. GIL-
BERT DEAN and Mr.. JAMES L. ORR represent the
Freesol and Fire eating gentlemen of the thirty
second Congress in the pages before US, but we do
not find the name of MIR. LETcHER in the table of
contents. We think that the editor must have
done him the 'sgrossest injustice" and we have
not the slightest doubt that it was "intentionsI

must remarks:
seNot denying that such principles as that OF
labor producing all wealth and determining all va
Iue are the sure foundation of the most important
of al sciences the development of society hitherto
has been 30 different from what was anticipated
bv philosophers or poIitcians-every new phasis
be;ne more noble, more dignifed, more happy
than the phasis which preceded it-tbat even po-
litical economy does not afford US any exact
grounds for predicting the future One coinci-
dence, which appears to very remarkable, the
author has overlooked. The continual increase of
skill and knowledge tends to produce all kinds
of commodities at cheap rate; and latterly with
out single exception believe, all the products
of labor have been acquired by a rapidly-de-
creasing quantity of labor. Every thing that
the hand of man produces is becoming cheap; and
just at this time when they were becoming more
rapidly cheap than ever, the curious, the remark
able coincidence arises of great and cheap pro.
duction of the material of money. Gold, like
cotton cloth, is cheaply obtained. Looking on So
ciety as natural development determined by
laws implanted in it by its Maker, not as the arti-
fetal production of government, and sensible that
it's future development is only feebly indicated to
our understanding at present by its pact develop
ment we cannot adopt the deductions of the author
az to the effects of the rapid increase of cheap
gold He acknowledges and recognises great
permanent improvement as having followed
the previous great reduction in the cost and
value of the precious metals; and believing
that the experience of former evils will not be
lost ON the present generation, and that the cir
cumstances Of society are not now the Same, nor
very similar to the circumstances of society
in the seventeenth century, we hope that the con.
