The volume in which they now appear IS enricned
with autographs fac smile OF portions OF the
manuscripts together with full reproduction In ordi-
nary capital letters with the view OF displaying the es
sental features OF the original the mode in which the
words written the punctuation, the gaps len where
the parchment has been destroyed, and so forth. We
have moreover a comparison in parallel columns with
other versions, including the Vulgate ITSELF which IS
frequently mere modification Of It's predecessors and
with the Greek Vatican Codex In his learned intro
ducton Dr. zisgler justly lays great stress upon the i'm
portance of these Italic fragments, not only from
hstorco Biological but also from pathological point Of
view as monument or the popular speech of the day,
and helping elucidate the principles upon which
the Neo Romantic tongues have grown out OF preceding
dialects Forms, for instance, like i1rmes, sinceres
and tpsl1d highly noteworthy. Curlous too, are
constructions like for IN elm, propter for
propsev escaDs and conversely plebeu sfne oGen-
sionen, &C. for the ablatve More singular still such
mixed constructions in eGdera seHtentaM onlsli

Parts OF the Pentateuch have also been found and
will In due time appear The Pentateuch is good, but
very new and the devoutest persons viii probably
agree in thinking that discovery for discovery Of

small work OF afty-nve pages, by H. v. Won Unruh,
member OF the German Parliament, whose object is to
present popular and concise of the funda
mental principles OF political by Of protest
against the cry which has been raised of late in certain
quarters for 10 the old protective system
panacea for the present industrial stagnation Such
work is quite in season, for certain truths which at
times clash, appear TO clash with influential in
tcrests require to be continually reiterated and placed
in light TO encourage the wavering and to silence
the voice Of obecters who taking advantage Of the gen.
eral ignorance distase for economical science deal
for tho most part in long exploded allacies AS might
be expected, Herr Won Unruh Is partio
ularly severe against the advocates OF the
reciprocity principle, treating them per-
sons entirely ignorant OF tho subject, or as
disguised protectonsts whose logic he compares with
that of the boy who finding his hands frozen in winter
Cried 'serves my old father right; why didn't he buy

reckless speculation during the hacyon days OF the I'VE
mards and any attempt TO combat the evil by super
animated legislation would simply, In the opinion of

poverished the country, reminds me of witty pro-
posal made some time ago by Kladderodaisch to the
effect that the loser in the next great should be
compelled to receive this sum from the winner
