DIsCoURsEs ON TRUTH; DELIVERED Is THE CHAPEL q,
The SoUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE BY JAMES II. THORN
WELL. d. D. lzmo.i PIP a2s Robert Carter Bros
In style of classic dignity, the author of this vol
ume discusses several of the practical aspects Of moral
truth in connection with the leading doctrines Of re
gon II is not his aim to plunge into the depths of
abstract Observation-Disclosures he shows familiar
acquaintance with the course Of phuosophic inquiry,
both In ancient and modern timee-but to present the
idea of duty in the various lights adapted to an edu-
ca,ed audience. His comments on the shallow en-
piricism of Paey especially valuable. He pre-
seI,s tina, superficial Of ethical writers in contrast
with the ancient sages. There is a tenold nearer
approximation to the teachings of the Bible in Aris
totle than there is in Plato-more affinity with the
Gospel in Cicero than in the whole tribe Of utitar
ians.' This sentence may, in some sense, be taken
as the keynote to the volume which is equally re-
msrkable for its chaste elegance of diction, and for
the purity and elevation Of its views.
The Know-Nothing. (l2mo. PIP. BAT. John p.
Jewett & Cs. Sold by Sheldon, Lamport s. Co..
The social and philanthropc aspects Of the Know
Nothing Order are here illustrated through the
medium of fictitious narrative. 1t is represented as
grand moral movement, "hsving pure patriotism
inscribed on its banner and throwing itself into the
contest between virtue and vice. The political pro-
gramme of the organization is not definitely stated.
We presume the title of the volume will challenge
more general curiosity than any destinations of the
story.
