the sheets of companion volume by the same
author, entitled ''The Ocean and the Atmos-
| pierre" It is enough to say that this book will
be a worthy continuation of the former one
But of all the books which have lately read
there is no one of which can speak more high
| ly than Ancient America, in Notes on Anieri'
can Archaeology, by John d. Baldwin" 1t
treats of a subject in which have long taken
special interest, and in relation TO which have
had occasion to pore over many huge volume.
| | have read this book, by no means a large one,
! from beginning to end and may be permitted,
over my own signature, to say of it what the
modesty of the Spy would not suffer to appear
elsewhere in its columns. fhe work contains,
in a condensed form, all that is now absolutely
| known of the races of men who occupied the
American continent previously to the so-called
discovery by Columbus. First we are intro
duced to the mysterious Mound-Buiders, whose
works are so widely scattered Over d great space
in our western states, and yet who had so utter
ly passed away at the time when Europeans fist
visited the country, that tradition told nothing
of their history. But it is clearly shown that
they came to this region from the south; that
they reached very considerable degree of civil
zatiou; that they inhabited the country for
many ages; and that there is no trace or proba-
biity of any direct relationship between them
