BLAcKwooD's MAGAzNE.-The number OF
Blsckwood for July, 1861, opens with review OF
Hooks Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury.
The series of articles, under the head of Judicial
Puzzles, so interesting to every logical and legal
mind, is continued. A lucid, and withal q de-
tailed account, nterspersed with pleasing cpl
sodes, is given of the celebrated case of SPENCER
CowPER, which was tried at the close of the sew.
enteenth century, and occupies no inconsider
able space in English judicial history.
The XVIIth Part OF Norman Sinclair is fol.
lowed by another delightful essay on Book.
Hunting. The humor and pointed satire of the
article on the Barbarisms of Civilization are
both amusing and Instructive There are but
few who will fail to sympathize with the writer,
while he narrates the vexations he was subjected
to in experimenting with patented inventions
which promised much, but really performed
nothing.
The concluding article on the disruption of
the Union betrays what we should expect from
British tory journals great want of faith in
the stability of the American Union. It of
course does not think our Federal Government
strong enough, and predicts that the Republic
must fall TO pieces. The article is, however,
we'll written, and presents the writer's view of
our case In a strong light. l4s .t1f
