By ). G.. w. BENJAMIN. New York:
HURD d HoUGHToN. 81 IS.
There are few topics of greater in
terest jus. now than the one treated
of in this book. The public sympathy
which has been awakened by the he
role struggle going on in the island of
Crete, and the critical condition of
the Ottoman Empire, with the impor-
tant bearing they are likely TO have
upon the general affairs of Europe,
will make this work one Of peculiar
interest. Several of the papers con-
tanned in it have appeared during the
past year in the magazines in some

portion is now for the first time pub
lished. The contents, Indicating its

The BEST DICKENS. The VISIT
lofthe distinguished novelist, CHARLES
dickens, to this country, has oc-
lcasioned a very greatly increased
demand for his works, and the pub
Fishers have been busy in presenting
to the public a great variety Of edi-
ltions, until now the number has
become Sc great that the purchaser
has become perrlexed to know which
to select. 1t is matter of some i'm
lportance to decide correctly.
| The duodicimo and octave editions
Iof PETERSON have been before the
public for years; but the large num-
beers put forth have reduced the plates
Ito such state that the impress is
Scarcely legible. Neither were they
produced in a style sufficiently at
tractive to meet the present demands
of the public.
Messrs. HURD & HoUeHToN, of
New York, were the first to see this
want and to meet it with their beau
tiful Household Edition" illustra-
ted by our own most celebrated artist,
Mr.. f. o. @. BARLEY, and the no
less celebrated English artist, Mr..
JOHN GILBERT.
More recently Messrs. TICKNoR &
FIELDS have given US their 9 Diamond
Edition, in fourteen volumes, illus
trated by EYTINGE. This embodies
two important requisites, namely,
compactness of form and cheapness
but though every one, whose means
are limited, can purchase for COM
paratively small sum, and carry away
in his pocket the largest novel
of DICKENS, he will be very certain
to pay for the luxury with injured
eye-sight, if he reads its pages very
persistently.
During the past year Messrs. HURD
& HOUGHToN have again appeared as
the publishers of this author, in two
different editions, namely, the Globe
and the " Ri7ersidey' liza ds
The former edition is now, complete,
and comprises thirteen volumes, in
size and binding similar to the
Globe Shakspere. It contains all
the illustrations by barley and Gill
BERT which appeared in the House
hold Edition. and is sold at the low
price of 81 so per volume. The type
is of good size, and it is clearly printed
upon paper of fair quality. This edi-
ton will without doubt supplant all
other cheap editions.
But to the Riverside. Edition y
must be awarded the palm above al
other competitors. There are twenty
six volumes, illustrated with ali the
designs of barley and Gilbert, Cruik-
shank, Seymour, Leech, PHI, and
others, newly engraved on steel, thus
combining all the illustrations Of the
English with those Of the best Ameri-
can edition. 1t is printed upon fine
heavy paper, crown octave, and is
singularly elegant in shape, while the
width Of the page gives the column Of
type clear and generous app arance
Various styles of binding may be had
from cioth-to-the-most expensive mo.
rocco. The price in cloth is 81 81

by ROBERT CLARKE q Co., Cincinnati.
Price postage free), 81 70.
The influence of the Huguenots of
France upon the religious, political
and industrial institutions Of Great
Britain and this country, has been
very decided, and this book will be
found to throw new light upon the
subject. The Appendix, which Is
added, relating to the Hugnenots in
America, makes it complete for
American readers. Those who have
read the authors life of the elder
STEPHENSON, know his skill in giving
interest TO dry details. In histories,
essays and memoirs of the most d.
verse character, the Huguenots are
perpetually turning up in various
countries-a fact to be referred to
their dispersion By persecution, espe-
cially by the revocation Of the Edict
Of Nantes. In this work the reader
viii find his feeling of curiosity or
interest fully satisfied, and much be-
sides to throw light on subjects not
directly implied in the title. The
sketch here given Of the. early history
Of Printing. and the sketch Of Pals
sy, the Potter, viii crafty even those
who have already read much on the
subjects. In fact, the book is enter
tanning from beginning to end. and as
a work of reference viii be found
highly satisfactory, as it is provided
with a good index.

SoLoMoN's TEMPLE ExHUMED.-
/ The London Times publishes an inte-
resting letter in regard to the discove-
ries at Jerusalem, from which we
select the following:
'The colossal foundations of the
temple walls, which are stones of
ten cubits and stones of eight cubits,
laid by Solomon or his successors
on the throne, are now being laid
bare at the enormous depth of nine
ty feet or more below the present
surface. The bridge that once span
ned the ravine between the palace of
Zion and the temple on Moriah is
now proved to have been upwards of
150 feet high. If this be, as it seems,
the ascent to the House of the Lord
which Solomon showed to the Queen
of Sheba, we cannot wonder that on
seeing it there was no spirit in her.
The pinnacle of the temple on which
the tempter placed the Saviour has
just been uncovered to the base, and
is found still to have an elevation of
136 feet. The statement of Jo-
sephus is, therefore, no exaggeration.
Ifany one looked from the battle
ment into the valley he would be
giddy, while his sightcould not reach
to such an immense depth. Sections
of the ancient wall Of Ophel have
been exhumed, showing that as Jo-
seph says, it was joined to the South
east angle of the temple. Acque-
ducts, cisterns. rock,hewn channels
and passages have also beendiscoyered
within and around the harem, throw
ing light on the buildings, the arrange
ments and the services in the Tenn
pie. The great work OF O complete
exploration OF ancient Jerusalem is
thus. fairly and auspiciously COM
menced. The opporiune visit OF the
Sultan and Grand. Vizier to this
country, and the representations
made to the''' latter. by tile! Arch
Bishop of, York, followed MP as they
have been BY the energy, the wis
dom, and the tact of Lieut.. Warren
and his admirable staff, have smooth
ed down Moslem prejudice, re-
moved local opposition, and thus
brought about opportunities for ex-
cayation and exploration, such as
never occurred before; and besides,
large numbers Of Arab loborers have
been trained to the work, and are
eager to be employed; and the exact
points Of successful exploration are
now well known" tr

In DeBow's Reuie,O. for May. arti-
ole I is entitled "ExoDUs. This
articlea contains the souhdest views
that we have recently come across, on
the subject of the defects of South
ern policy in the past. = The author
admits that tsss i=s;;sTs1 o. our South
ern statesmen as TO the principles Of
government were correct-that the
creed Of States' rights was correct
that the Southern view of the powers
of the General Government was
right; but that the South, neverthe-
less, made one great blunder, and it
was this slsds,the Southern leaders re-
lied on defending. Tie rights Of their
section simply by erAi6iting their title.
They omitted to throw up around
State rights the solid muniments Of
wealth, numbers and industrial de-
velopment. They failed to maintain
political right by physical power.
And this it was that, the writer
thinks, produced the causes that led to
Southern political and Industrial sub
iugatSiion. II, now, this bo the lesson
that the past teaches, does not our
duty IN the future occur readily to
the mind?- Observing the errors of
the past, let us grasp the means Of
our future safety and redemption.
In the future, let us impress upon
the country our political creeds by
soorks rather than by, aooyds. Let
the logic of acts take the place of the
logic of books. Let practice take the
place of mere theory. Let us resort
to all the modes of mixed industry.
Let us develop agriculture, commerce
and manufactures. Let us ourselves
work, and no longer rely too entirely
upon the labor of the negro. Let us
recover our rights and control of
things, not by argument and evi-
dencs, but by material agencies. Let
us invite capital and labor to our Sec
ton. Let us secure for ourselves
immigrant number, immigrant
wealth, and immigrant votes. This
is the policy to cut the Gordian knot
of our political complications. And
mey Heaven grant to the South an
Alexander wise enough and infuen-
tial enough to use the sword of such
policy.

The Southern Delegates TO the De-

The Southern Delegates TO the De-
mocrntIc Conventfon.
We have suggested that it is be-
coming in our Southern delegates to
the Democratic Convention to be
modest, moderate and juaicious in
the advocacy of their claims. But,
at the same time, it does seem to us
that they should seek to exert alegiti-
mate influence in the counsels of that
national body, and should, with
dignity and frmness, maintain what
may be regarded conducive to the
interests Of the people and the coun-
try which they represent. Let their
voice be heard there. If that voice
be wise, and moderate, and reasona-
BILE in its utterances, it can but do
good 4 to 1.-The common cause. Nor
should delegates fail to appreciate
the dignity and strength Of their
position. They will represent u
white constituency nearly 10000
81
900 strong, and. to be counted upon
as almost unit for tho Democracy.
They viii Stand in that Convention
the representatives of prescribed
States, but they will be nevertheless
the peers Of their Northern brothers
Of the Democracy. AS the Washing
ton hteAigencer says: .An imperilled
people demand. that the Southern
delegates shall do their duty to the
whole land by taking such part in
public affairs as it is in their power
to assume" As for ourselves, we
feel that the Southern delegates will
do this wisely and judiciously. Con.
Hampton and Gen. Forrest will be
there, and they will surprise the
conntry by showing to it that they
fully appreciate the obligations of
the hour-that they know full we'll
that ''peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war;" and that among
the victories of peace are now to be
