D., Professor of Natural History and Ply
solocy in the College of the City CT New
York, and Of Chemistry in the University
Medical College. New York: SCRlBNER,
ARMSTRONG & Co.
This ought to lie very valuable book.
We do not like Dr.. DRAPER, who published a
history of the late war that was one Of the
most wrctched, yndictive, and erroneous
performances. But that cannot make us
DENY the credit that may be due THIS work.
Dr.. DRAPER ought not to have left his pro-
fessiouai walks to crafty q bad spirit. lie
should contine himself TO science, and he
will leave a better fame behind him. His
d" Yearbook" we are sure is valuable.

II. ABOUT, a man of genius and fiue
writer, here undertakes to discuss subject Of
great Importance. H. was led to write about
it by the solicitations Of the Partisan work
men. who desired clearer understanding of
tae political economy concerning their rela-
lions ~ other classes and the relations be-
tween labor and capital. VIC cannot say how
he has performed the task thus imposed.
But he cannot fail TO be interesting even
when erratic, which wc do not mean to say
that hc is in this book
We have seen 10 book for a long time
whose teachings are so Well calculated to
benefit society. The author touches every
subject with pencil CT light. Our political
economists may learn something from him.
So may the huutlest mechanic. Here is one
idca-not exactly new, perhaps, but stated
with Frcucf!uan's cpiglNmmatic felicity
"S.lycr is rot precious because it serves
10 measure values. 1t is employed to Inca
sure values because it is intrinsica!ly pre-
ciouS."
