a MEMOIR OF THE LITE AND LABoRs OF FRAN.

agents; j. b. Lippineott & Co
we doubt If there has been any man who
has written on political science in America
who can compare with DR.. Wayland in point
Of the influence he exerted. Our fellow towns
man, Henry G. Carey, Esq, has done much, but
being later in the field, and adopting style
rather fitted for the scholar than the beginner,
he has not reached that wide circle into which
DR.. Wayland entered. In almost all of the
schools of the learned where moral or political
science is taught, we ind an abridgment Of
his works. He was a most industrious writer,
freely discussing, at great length and generally
with great clearness, the elementary principles
OF the science, and is well fitted by style aud
train of thought to supply text book for the
young. Being thus household work, we do
not doubt that the carefully prepared life pub
lished by his sons will meet with a most cor
dial reception.
The Doctor was born in New York in 1876,
and died at Saratoga in 1865, being, therefore,
in his seventieth year. From his youth he
udu uoNOteu ululS6ll 10 MS laVOflt6 study, ana
there are few enterprises for the advancement
of religion or education undertaken during the
fifty years of the Doctors active life that we
do not find him associated with. In 1923 he
published the first of his disoourses it was an
essay on the "Meral Dignity of Man." and
from that time until a month of his death
it seems his pen was never idle. During
forty years the Doctor published seventy-three
works of various kinds, some Of course being
pamphlets. His "Political Science" and his
''Moral Science" have gone through numberless
editions, and have served valuable purpose
in directing the attention of the student to a
subject which requires all the smoothing of the
pathway which is possible. at the allotted
age of man he was gathered to his fathers,
universally lamented and respected. His
'MemOirs" are Oopiously filled with diaries
and correspondence, and much credit is due to
his sons for the excellent literary style of the
work.

FoUR YEARS IN SPANISH AMERICA. By +.
HassauIek. Hurd q HoughJon, New York.
Chesnut street
There is, indeed, but little known of Spanish
America, and what little is known does not
impress us favorably. Mr.. Hassaurek had
our years to see if he could discover any good,
and after diligent search we do not think he
ellis us in his narrative that he succeeded
His warm personal friendship for a number of
the citizens of South America prevents him
aenouncing all the people, but as a class he
does not call on us to grant their education.
His work is of deep interest, because of the
novelty of the subject. We all talk of that

portion of the world, but none Of us have
anything but vague idea of wells for the
women and oloaSs for the men. Mr.. Has
saurek brings us into direct contact with the
people and their Institutions, and teaches us
that which we, but for him, would not know.
The work is well worthy of a careful perusal.
THE PHANTOM OF THE FOREST. by Emerson
Bennett Philadelphia: John E. Potter d Co.
Mr.. Bennett has secured a position second
to no living author as pOrtrayer of Western
life and character. For years his works have
been familiar to the novel-readng public, and
both the originality of their plots and the
graphic style in which they are told entitle
them to the high place universally awarded
them. The latest of Mr.. Benefits stories is
before us. It is entitled the "Phantom of the
Forest" and depicts pioneer life in Kentucky
when that territory well merited the name of
the Clark and bloody ground" 1t fully
sustains the authors high reputation. It
combines all the wild adventures of the
huntsman's life with just sufficient of the
romance Of the love-tale to make it possess
the merits of each. It is handsomely pub
lished by John L. Potter & Co.. who, we are
glad to understand, are about to issue a uni
form edition of all of Mr. Benefits works.
The "Phantom of the Forest" will have
deservedly large sale.
Tom MILLER; OR, AFTER MANY DAYS By Mrs.
Rockwell j. q. Gsrrgues 81 Co.. Phlladel-
phia.
This is one of the best boys works we have
ever seen. 1t is tale of the prairie, emil
nently calculated to interest our boys, and
while drawing their attention to wild life
and adventures, also teaches them the i'm
portant lesson that there is no love like a
mothers love. 1t is thoroughly Christian
story, and merits general reading.
We have received from James S. Claxton
three little works, bound uniformly, entitled
"Oliver's Decision" ''Margaret and Her
Friends" and "Diok Frazer."' They are all
admirably told tales for the young, and full of
life and interest. Without obtruding it, they
convey good moral, and will be both useful
and acceptable.
Mr.. Claxton also publishes two other
similar works, entitled "Arthur Morland" and
'Mother's Shawl" which we heartily COM
mend. As a publishing house of children's
works, Mr.. Claxton's holds one of the highest
position, and we feel assured that whatever
bears his imprint is worth reading.
In recent notice of that excellent little
work of Professor Hart's, mistakes of Edu-
Gated Men," we inadvertently stated that it
was published by J. P. skelly, while in fact
it is one of the valuable publications of J. c.
Garrigues & Co., No. las South Fourth street.
The Gladys Album for 1868 is the title
of a cheaply issued little work, with number
of advertisements at the end, which is pub
lished by Coolidge, of Boston. 1t contains
some well-selected verses.

THE LOVERS, DIcTIoNARY. A Poetical Treasury
of Lovers Thoughts, Fancies, Addresses, and
Dlemmas, or Dictionary of Compliments
and q Guide to the Study Of the Tender Sci
ence. New York: Harper & Bros. Phila-
dephia Agents. j. Lippincott Co:
A big work, we suppose, has a right to
big title, and as the present volume extends
<pver 799 pages, we must grant the compiler
he privilege of the monstrously long descrip-
ion on his title page. In promising to furnish
bn "complete work" on the subject we think
the author went great way, but it seems as
Enough he had fulfilled his pledge. If the
Rbr if lovers can get out of their dilemmas by
reference to an index of ten thousand appro-
pirate lines, then we commend the "Dic-
tionary'' to the afflicted. We do not pretend
i Ito know whether the formality of a few choice
''compliments" will mollify a lady's anger
or not, but as there are an enormous number
bf "soft sayings collected, the rejected
Zone can have his choice. To
one class, however, the work will prove
+. u blessing. We refer to young gentlemen who
lesire appropriate original poetry. By invest
ng in the Dictionary" they can secure an
abundant supply, and the size of the book
prevents detection of the plagiarism by search
Ing the work. To them it will be invaluable.
But to people, as a whole, we do not think
that the Dictionary will prove a very &C
beptable work of reference. AS a rule, after
certain age, lovers quotations appear rather
\ trite. 1t too frequently happens that romance
a ieparts:-
"And marriage, or death, or division
Make barren our lives"
30 we would advise the publishers to keep the
work stereotyped, for each generation will
want copy when it falls in love; but no
lustom will flow from the people after GER
hahn age is past. The work has the appro-
pirate device on the back of two doves and an
olive branch, and is prefaced by two engra-
wings evidently taken from "London Society"
sELFMENrs OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. By John
Brocklesby A. M T.. ii. Butler & Co., Phila
The author is right in prefacing his work
kth the assurance that it is unnecessary to
indicate the right of Physical Geography tea
permanent place among the studies of oul
schools, academies, and high institutions o.
& learning" The unanimous testimony of those
best qualified to judge, and the value OF the
science itself, demand for it high place in the
curriculum of every school. We hail with
pleasure the work now before us. 1t is an ad
mirable textbook, combining in singular
harmony the advantages of an essay and of al
atlas. 1t is filled with illustrations'which i'm
press its principles on the mind of the student
and is in every respect worthy of the higl
standard accorded to all "Mitchell's Series.'
Messrs. Butler & Co. have handsomely pub
ished it in a form for daily use, and the
RuthOr, by following the idea of the globe being
an organised body, makes clear and an inte
resting work. 1t will be generally adopted by
cur schools.
