-supcrinduced, perhaps, by his habits of
study; and though seemingly vigorous in
appearance, he only complained of nerv-

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

School HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA. BY J. r.
Sypher. Published by J. b. L,ppncott
& Co.
This volume is designed for use as text.
book in schools and academies, and the author
has endeavored TO give concise as well as
comprehensive history of the State of Pennsyl-
vania from the earliest settlement to the pre-
cent time. OF course, in such q work many
interesting details must be omitted altogether
or else be passed over with slight notice, aud
the difficulty the author has to contend with
is to discriminate between the essential and
the non.essential. Mr.. Sypher has executed
his task with good judgment and ability, and
he has presented an outline OF the history o.
this Commonwealth which appears to be we'll
adapted for the purpose intended. State
history is branch OF study too
much neglected in our public as well
as private schools, whereas it should
be considered q matter Of the first importance
and such a work as the one under copsidera-
tion could with propriety be used as an intro
duction to the general history of the United
States. Mr.. Sypher brings his record down to
the end Of the Rebellion, and in an appendix
he gives a number Of tables showing the date
Of the formation Of each county, with the
population in 1860; the date Of the laying out
of the county towns; the names OF the Gov
ernors Of the Colonies on the Delaware, of the
Province aud the State, with the dates
Of their accession and exit. The principal
officers of the United States from Pennsylvania
since the adoption of the Constitution; the
Universities and Colleges of Pennsylvania
the number of troops furnished by Pennsyl,
vania during the Rebellion; the railroads o
Pepnsy lvania, with their cost and length; the
