IIlsroRY OF ENGLAND: By 7. B
Macaul0Y Vols. 5 and 4.-BVston
Phillips, Sampson & Co.
The publishers of these volumes have
done a great service to letters by this
edition (oply 40 cts. a volume)-in uni
form st,le with their Hume and Gibbon
of Macaulay's history. The works of
this most brilliant of historians are thus
brought within the reach of all readers +;
and if, while really more exciting than
any romance, they can thus be made in
some measure to take the place of the
lighter trash now so current. great
poin. will be gained. Macaulay is not
infallible he may sometimes show too
much of the partizan; but he deserves,
on the whole, a place in the front rank
ofliving historians. He cannot be read
without profit and we believe him a
safer guide through the mazes of the
times of which he writes, than Hume,
Alison, Lingard, and most of his prede-
cessors.-For sale at Clarks.

For the Register.

Mr. }. Conn: AS there appears to be
much speculation in community, with
reference to the cause of my leaving the
Methodist Communion, will you for the
benefit of the inquisitive and speculative,
say through your paper, that my with
drawal from the Methodist Church was
not induced by starvation, as some have
reported Starvation in this country
and in these days, is calamity which
does not answer my ideas Of propriety
Please, therefore, let it be understood by
all whom it may concern, that l changed
my church relations in quiet, lawful
and honorable way ; and simply because
