periences are interspersod through the volume.
One Of the chief objects Of the work is to
show the parallel between Black Slavery IN
the United States and White Slavery in the
Bqrbary States This parallel extends TO al
most every feature of the two systems, except
that the general aspect of the first surpasses in
stringency the EXTREMIST limits which history
records Of the latter 1t shows, too, that the
selfshness and inconsistency Of human nature
bound some of the highest reaches Of human
benevolence for, while peoples and govern
ments were reused to just indignation and to
prompt and decisive action for the suppression
of the one they suffered and assisted in the
propagation of the other; while the United
States could send their Decatur to Tripoli, to
burn her ships and storm her capital, for the
liberation of ten slaves, they can close eyes and
ears to the suferings and pleadings of three
millions within their own jurisdiction
This book has been work Of duty, rather
than inclination, to MIR. Sumner, we fancy for
it is one that furnishes but limited latitude
to his best powers still, his high scholarship is
everywhere manifest in the beautiful Grecian
simplicity and perspicuity of the STYLE while

contract to introduce negroes from Africa

that in most hands such business would be
very like the slape trade but in the hands of
such respectable persons as these, it was quite
another thing. Earl Grey thought, also, that
it was a safe business with these contractors.
Lord Brougham thought it looked like the
slave trade in disguise.
This Coolie trade was particularly noticed
in our structures in the Era on Professor Stoves

PHILADELPHIA FEMALE MEDICAL COLLEGE

The card Of this institution, announcing its
fourth session, is on our fourth page. We are
informed by the Dean of the Faculty that the
applications, of forty pupils for admission next
October have already been received, and that
the prospects of large class are very promis-
ing. II will be noticed that the array of pro-
fessors and the branches to be taught are CON-
plete and in the orthodox form. The presi-
dency is in the able hands of our friend, Pro-
fessor c. d. Cleveland; the arrangements of
the institution are, we believe, remarkably
good, and we commend the enterprise very
cordially to all who are called and chosen to
serve their generation by this new method of
engaging women in wOman's proper work.
Prejudice is rapidly abating, and the move
ment is now safe for a fair trial-that is all
that is asked for it, We are confident that the
issue will fully justify the undertaking.
