THE soUrHERs REvIEw-for January, 1858. Baltimore
Bledsoe 4 Browne.
Of this Revfeao, the 9TH No of which is be-
fore us, we need hardly say more, than that
each number redeems the promise of its pre-
decessor, as well as the promises of the edi-
tors in their prospectus. We consider it by
all odds the ablest review in our country
Its tone is vigorous and manly, and though
avowedly intended to be the organ of South
ern thought, yet it rigidly subjects every mat
ter brought before it to the test of reason
In every number we recognize largely the
ready pen and clear, logical mind of its senior
editor. The No. before us embraces the fol-
lowing subjects Diapers History of the
War y Architecture of the Animal King
dom ! German Romance; !" J. ]. Rous
seau )" THE Schoolmaster;" The Grain of
Wheat )" school Histories of the United
States 5" "The Emperor Julian :" "Quackery
in American Literature )" Book Notices.

THE LIFE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS By Frank Fl, AIlrjenJ
Richmond, Va late editor OF the Southern Literary
Messenger etc.
The above work is announced by the
National Publishing Company, of Philadel-
phia, as nearly ready for publication, to be
sold exclusively by subscription, at $3.50 and
$500 per copy. We select from the pro-
spectus the following extract taken from page
70 of the book
The development in Mr.. Davis of the high
and rare qualities, requisite to parliamentary
leadership, was rapid and decisive. His ma
ture instinctively aspres to influence and
under no circumstances could it rest in an at
titude OF inferiority. Independence, origi-
nality, and intrepidity, added to earnest and
intelligent conviction unwavering devo.
ton to principle and purpose will stern
and memorable, and disposition frank, cour-
teous and generous, are features Of character
which rarely fail to make a representative
man. After the death of Mr.. Calhoun, he
inn arsa1l fla nIl
States Rights principles, and even during
the life of that great pubicist, Mr.. Davis, al
most equally with him, shared the labors and
responsibilities of leadership. His personal
courage is of that knightly order, which in
an age Of chivalry would have sought the tro-
phies OF the tourney, and his moral heroism
fixed him immovably upon the solid rock of
principle, Indifferent to the inconvenience of
being in minority and in no dread of the
storms of popular passion. His faith in his
principles was no less earnest than his conf
dence in his ability to triumphantly defend
them.
