between the lately hostile sections, he ha

between the lately hostile sections, he has
our sympathy and most hearty good will.
He says: "When we appreciate how much
the actions of men are controlled by the
deeds of their predecessors, and are de-
termincd by climate and other natural cir
cumstances, our animosities lose much of
their asperity, and the return of kind
feelings is fastened"
DR.. DRAPER believes that proper study
of nature will at length enable us to prevail
on her to such an extent as to bring within
the reach of human control the difficulties
arising from opposing conditions, which
originate physical causes that can be
understood. He gives brief description
of the principal peculiarities of the United
States, deducing the necessity Of national
unity; and then shows how race-diversity
has been produced by different climates
and typographical conditions among the
inhabitants of this country. Among other
things the author predicts that as the con-
ditions which brought on the recent con-
Aict between the two sections, North and
South, of the Atlantic region, still exist
in other directions, future equivalents to
those ephemeral disturbing causes, slavery
and abolition, will in due time under other
forms exert their deleterious power. =" Va
ried climate and opposing interests will
tend to renew these contests hereafter. Ii
this has been the issue between the North
Atlantic and the Gulf States, what may
not be expected from the rivalries of the
dwellers in the Great Basin, those OF the
Pacific slope, those of the Columbian
Northwest, the Germany of America !?
The imperial republic, shortly to be made
manifest, has Persia, an India, Pales-
tine, a Tartary of its own. To bind
together so many diverse people, to co-ordi-
nate their conflicting rights, to concen-
trate into one nation men who, though
all of American birth, are in one place
representatives of the fair European, in
another of the turbaned Asiatic, in another
of the dusky African, will demand states
manship that recognizes as its animating
principle justice to all"
Fine drapery this and picturesque group
ing of the geographic style, so much and
so felicitously used by MAcAuLAY. But
captivating as these hypothesis seems to
be to the author, they betray more of imagi-
nation than of sober judgment; straining
after the novel and original, rather than the
cool and sober deduction Of the philoso-
pher. The book is one of decided interest,
but should be read cum grano.
