fresh from the English Universities, where
he was equally distinguished for success In

ofneara million and quarter OF lnhab-

is that Mohomedanism has not lost all that

elsewhere, and these more settled races III the
fertile lands of the interior seem never to
have been altogether reached and suDdued'
either by Christianity or Mohomedanlsm :
50 that MANY of them still continue to wor-
shin the SIM as did their ancestors, probably
from long before the time of Abraham.
Two things have contributed to isolate
them from the world-they have not a
single river that runs anywhereto to the sea
/ their streams all sink into the sand. Hence

wealth. but of intercourse, hes been cut

/ In the next place, they are surrounded an

The Ei0h YoIume of CnrlyIe,s Frederi

For those who have the leisure, the pa
tience and the thought, we doubt II more
valuable study could be found than that OF
Frederick the Greats life during the Seven
Years War, as given III the fifth volume OF
Caryle's life of that great but strange man.
! 1t is we'll to have one man in the world like
Carlyle, to draw out and drag to light for all
! coming time the picture of a character such
as could hardly have existed in any other
| age than just that very time There is not
| point of Frederick's life not fully and fairly
/ depicted
This last of Frederick the Greats wars
can be read with more pleasure than any
! other part of his life, because here for once
! he was iustifed-indeed compelled-to go
| into the contest. 1t was indeed conspiracy
! of monarchs against him. he had, lt Is
! true, brought it upon himself by early years
of vain-glorious war and wrongful contest.
But after eleven years OF peace, honestly
/ kept by himself, he found Austria Russia
! and France, and even Sweden, were ar
ranging coolly to parcel out PRUSSIA, rs Rus-
sia and Prussia afterwards did Poland-to
make war and make no peace with, but de-
stroy him. So he goes into the seven year 5
war with poison in his pocket, resolved
never TO be taken alive, with no ally hut
| England, and with Prussia, Sweden, France
and Austria marching on his domlnlonS
from all four points of the compass at oene.
His whole dominions contain but 5,00O-O0e,
and out of these he raised an army OF 1uU,OOO
men, and with 10000 of them marches on
Dresden There he finds TIE proof of the
conspiracy, morches 04T Prague, fixes the
day on which how'll fight, and does fight
and conqueC<and so gives rise to what
every schoolgirl knows as The Battle OF
tbs Prague" on the piano. But he loses
$4,000 mon by fighting day too soon, can
not capture the city, and is defeated at no
lin within a month, badly, Yet he picks NJ
his defeated troops and marches OFT unmo
Tested, to win some of the most desperate
battles, with two TO one against him. Rus
, sian troops, and Austrian troops and trencf
troops are alike Till at last almost utterly
exhausted, he keeps fighting still, till Rus
sia makes peace, and France makes peace
and Frederick returns home in triumph, t.
make peace, and Frederick returns home ii
triumph to live for twenty yeaIs, armo'
! like porcupine on all sides, with bristlin.
jealousy on every side, and die without deb
and without a standing army, but without

1t is worlh tracing the life of this maI
g perhaps, and to poke out every secret of hi
e whole career, as Carlyle has done III thes

- fifth volume is the best because here FREQ
