1t is difficult task indeed to ninAe

from the hasty examination "hich we
have given this volume we can say tnaI

truths of logical science are presented.
Every school boy who has waded
through the Technology of Whately's
Elements remembers how confused and
dim were all his ideas of what was full
ly comprehended under the heads Of
the various terms. We often thought
that the scholarly Archbishop never
could have been a boy; that, like the
younger Pitt, he 'never had a youth"
He was too abstruse for the undevel-
Oped mind of yOung academicians. The
author before us has apparently been a
perple&ed boy at college in his time,
and like Tom Brown at Rugby, has
felt the want of n sympathyZing class
mate for a teacher. As IA specimen of
the exceeding simplicity of this authors
style, we note the easy method by
which he makes those TWO ambiguous
terms, Subject and Object" perfectly
clear even to the boyish mind. lob
Ject," he tells us, means thnt about
which the mind thinks: "Subject, I" the
mind itself. 1.-The adjectives subjective
and o6jectiVe, and the adyerbs Stt6jec-
ttUeLy and O6jectiUeiy, have a corres-
ponding import; the former in each
case referring to the mind considered as
the subject OF conscious states of know
ing, thinking, feeling, willing; the lat
ter referring to whatever becomes an
object of the minds attention"
Many man, for want of having so
simple definition as the foregoing i'm
planted in his mind at college, has Of
ten found himself liable to error in re-
gard to these two foundation principles
of all correct thinking.
From the publishers, Messrs. p. Gar
rett IL Co., 7O2 Chestnut street, Phila-
delphia, we have received u neat little
volume entitled:
POETRY AND PROSE"
Enhancing the most popular effu-
sfous of the day, the rarest poetical
gems, the finest specimens OF oratory,
and fund of mirth and humor, de-
signed for the use of academies, schools,
private classes, and the home circle;
and especially adapted to the use of lit
erary societies, exhibition rooms, and
other public occasions, edited by n. Is.
Richardson, Professor of Education
and Reading in various public and pri-
vate institutions af learning.
The special merit ofthis little work is
that for IL small sum of money it affords
any boy or young man, some of the
choicest specimens of literature, and
thus enables him to keep before his
mind correct models for his develope-
ment and discipline. We have seen
nothing from the press, of late, that
seemed to fill Il more popular want than
the volume before us.
