agreeable freedom from preten,ion of style and the
d.se of producing sensation, the narrative abounds
in lively descriptions Of manners and sceoery,
interesting bits of adventure, and happy comments
on curious snd strange features of society. The
air Of good faith which pervades the volu NE is by

Dr. Lindsley, the late President of the Nashville
DIVERSITY, was man of uncommon originality of
thought which he well knew Row to express in terse
AID vigorous language. No. without vein Of sppar-
cit eccertriciy. his mind was philosophical in its
cor ceptiops and accurate in its conclusions. The
subject Of education engrossed large share Of his at
tention and called forth many Of his most able efforts.
He has hitherto been kposp, beyond his Own imne-
date circle chiefly by his occsio nal addresses and
discusses ard 1t is fitting oute to his memory to
collect his works in permanent form. The present
volume, which consists entirely Of educational I'D
dresses is to be speedily folowed by second, and
after that memoir Of the author by one Of his friends.
They Cannot fail to prove valuable and brilliant &C.
