VI this work of the late Dr. Hallam, it is almost
unnecessary at this late day to speak. for it has
long since passed into the category of standard his
tories which no reader can afford to miss from his
shelves. The period treated of is peculiarly inter-
esting, as being that in which the foundations of
modern European society and governments were
laid; and it is reviewed with the clearness and i'm
Partially which were the distinguishing traits of
the learned author. AS the transactions not of
years, but of centuries here touched upon, they
are, OF course, discussed in brief and cursory
way, but the leading political events and charac-
teristics of each successive age are noted and
their subsequent developments carefully traced

This is the second volume of the complete works

have no occasion to recall the praise bestowed in
this Journal on the first, and are unable to suggest
a single point in which the edition of which these
two books are to be regarded as samples can be i'm
proved.

THE CONDUCT OF LIFE: by r. W EvrRsov vol
limo. 1860. '
These essays are remarkable instances of the au-
thor'sp power of mental analysis. They are the re-
suits arrived at by profound and subtle intellect,
turned upon the investigation of the commonest
phenomena of every day life. So apt and fit are the
words and sentences, that the reader sometimes al
most suspects that he is tricked out of his iudg-
ment by cunning phrases. Yet, tits simply gospel
of common sense, and the man may well distrust
his own perfect sanity who fails to appreciate a
book like this
