Of this very interesting lecture pamphlet Of
only 40 pages, which, however, is replete with in
terest; and we should be pleased to see it in the
hands Of every man and woman Of education The
object OF DE-. YoUMANs is to show that the doctrine
which has prevailed in the past relative to the
study of the human mind, and that still prevails
is doomed to complete inversion; that the bodily
organism which was SO long neglected as of no ac-
count, is in reality the first and fundamental thing
to be considered, and that, in reaching q know
ledge Of mind and character through the study Of
the corporeal system, there has been laid the firm
foundation Of that science Of Human Nature the
completion Of which viii constitute the next and
highest phase IN the progress of man. SO vast a
subject can, Of course, receive but scanty Justice

to present some decisive illustrations Of the depeu-

we have received a copy Of the above named
very interesting brochure, the careful and pains
taking work Of Dr. SHEPARD, at this time finishing

LER, to whom this book is dedicated. Dr.. s. is
the son Of Professor CHARLES UpHAm sHEpAaD, for
many years the distinguished Professor Of Chemis-
try in the Medical College Of South Carolina,
Professor g., as is well-known has de-
voted many years of his life to the study of
organic chemistry, and it must be very gratifying
to see his son enter on similar career with such
Hatterlng prospects Of success. Dr.. SHEpARp, Jr..
We learn, will assist his father next winter, in his
PROFESSIONAL duties in the Medical College of this
city. The subject OF the monograph with the
German title above given, is not one Of general in
terest. (Experiments on the formation Of Hip

c1ate it, presuppoees an intimate ACQUAINTANCE

the devotion to the sciences, still found time to

we have ample proof in the highly poetic and
beautifully descriptive narrative Of his ascent OF
Mount Genie, during an Alpine tour last Summer.
The narrative was published in the Galary, few
months ago. We predict for this young gentleman
brilliant and prosperous career, both as teacher
and author.
VICTOR HUGO, ruconte par IN 1enoin de so uie
The publishers Of the Courier des Exats U'sis have
published neat octave volume (for rs cents) Of
the above named work. The esWitness Of his life.n
who has given this biography Of the French poet
to the world, is none other than Madame HUGO.
With charming simplicity she narrates the militia
~, political and literary struggle Of the first EN-
pire, OF the Restoration, ana Of the Monarchy Of
July, from 1902 to 1841, and the life Of VICTOR
HUGO is traced, step by step, from his birth to his
into the French Academy. The task,
says French notice Of the work now living before
us, was difficult, and Madame HUGO required
much tact to write this book. She exhibits much
Judgment in the execution Of the work and she
cannot be charged with the least degree Of par
aabty. Most pleasing in this biography are the
interesting details about the childhood and family
life Of the great poet. Only sympathetic pen,
the pen Of 9 woman could paint with such charm
and simplicity. Madame HUGO excels in these
family pictures, and the descriptive style. Moth
ing could be more fresh, for instance, than the
Journey to Spain Of Madame Huac, the poets
mother, with her children; 80 also the pages that
give an account Of excursion IN Switzerland and
the Valley Of Chamorni. sy..
