To Connecticut belongs the honor of having con-
tlibuted the first volume to that immense library Of
American law reports which, taken together, do 20
much credit to our American jursprudence-s ccliec-
ton which proves that Judges with ga aries of 81 100
year thereabouts may often exhibit much legal per-
s1cuty, much perception of justice, and sometimes

temporaneously with the organization of Government
upder the Federal Constitution. Kirby, after an in
terval of ten years, followed by Roots two vol

twenty ak volumes the space between 1902 and
1888 They have been followed by Watson's Reports,
of which three volumes have appeared. We thus
have tbrty.wo volumes of reports, OF which the con-
tents are dgested in the present volume. Although

WINCH GREEN. l2no; pp 3S& Charles scnoher'
The person whose extraordinary experiences isrelated
in this volume, became member of the Mormon
community at the age of thirteen and remained among
them during period of fifteen years. Her narrative,
though comprising incidents almost too monstrous for
belief has been carefully Gifted by the editor and bis
friends who entertain no doubt of her good faith The
book is in the highest degree repusve on account OF
the odious details which form the substance Of its
contepts. revealing a condition of society scarcely
inferior in horrors to the weird romances OF Mrs.
Radcliffe According to the writer, secret murders are
perpetrated with all the craft and system of the East
Indian Thugs, and form dismal accompaniment to the
prevailing domestic institutions of the society.
TIE BENCH AND BAR OF GEORGIA BY srsFHrs T.
MILLER. 2yols 8vo. Phil: J. b. LPpincOtt A Gu.
In these volumes may be found large store of ma
cras for the local history Of Georgia. They comprise
copous notices Of many OF the most eminent men OF
that State, including Beien, Clayton, Fonyth, Craw-
ford, Dawson, Lamar, Reed, Wilde, and many others
of less wide celebrity Connected as they were, with
the most important public movements of the day, their
biographies are valuable historical well az So
cial point of view. The work sbounds in interesting
personal anecdotes and descriptions, but the narrative
would he improved by greater degree of condemnation
and more methodical working up of the abundant
documents in the hands Of the author

given are Beatrice Cenc Charlotte Cordsy and Joan
of Arc, by Iamsrtine Joanna Souhcott, the English
prophecies; Jemima Wilkinson, the American pro-
