The publication Of the first volume OF MIR.
Buckles proposed History Of Civilization, IA
work Of which much has been said, has been
followed by criticisms upon it, which will ma
terislly dampen the public interest in the
remaining portions Of the work-if, indeed,
it can ever be completed, according TO the
design Of it's author. The most conclusive
refutatiop Of Mr.. BIS theories that We have
seep, is contained in the last number of the
London Quarterly Review--and few can rise
from the perusal Of that article, without
agreeing with the reviewer. A very ably
written analysis Of the book, also appears IN
the National ntelligencer--andt the judgment
of the writer ia, that cit contains a most
unusual amount of ripe erudition and crude
