account Of the excavations and researches
on the site of tho PhOcnician Metropolis IN
Africa, and other adjacent places. BY
DR.. n. Davis, T. Il. G. S. With illustra-
tons New York Harper and Brothers
I7Gl.
The reading public have had 50 much
entertainment aud instruction from the
explorations and discoveries of Layard at
Nineyeh and other places, on the Euphrates,
that it may think less of these invcsti cations
in and about ancient Carthage-the Tarshish
| of the Holy Scriptures, the author says,-than
| it otherwise would. This mine of discovery
is less productive than the one worked by
! Lavard Nevertheless, its productions will
well repay an examination. There Is a good
| deal of historical discussion worked III with
! the narrative and descriptions, and the mar
rative is enlivened with anecdotes of Arabs
nd Arab customs and practices. There are
many illustrations of scenery and ruins, aud
/ besides plates Of Inscriptions &c, there are
finely colored representations Of ancient
mosaic brought to light from thoir long sep
! ulture beneath the earth'5 surface.

Teachers and Parents, sc. By n. \
Calkins. New York Harper & Brothers
1851.
The author theory is that far to mucl
effort is given to the development Of tn,
chi!d's mind, by storing the memory will
abstract preccpts and definitions, and far toe
little to what he considers a moro natura
and efficient method by cultivating the power
OF observation, by means Of direct appeals t.
the sense. The volume is one of lessons and
illustrations in accordance with his views
and for aught we see Is very well got up on
that plan We can not but think however
that he pushes his notion to an extreme anC
that the learner can get hold of the abstract
idea, much quicker than the author suppos
es aud consequently that he presents parti-
cular observations in excess, with risk o
becoming tiresomc. For salc by Fuller.
