HELLMUTH LADIEs' COLLEGE London,
Ontario. Canada.
A full description Of the studies and ad-
vantages Of this institution, with numerous
pictorial illustrations OF the buildings, ex-
terror and interior, aud neighboring scenery.
The course OF instruction is complete, en-
bracing the practical as well as poetcal
branches. Beauty and utility-such being
the union In all works OF the grand Creator
should be the object Of His children,
human beings. Commodious, elegant, and
well adapted are the college ediilces; the
approach TO them, both from Canada and
the United States, by railroad is direct.
Happy shall we be to think, aud quick to
advise that the daughters OF Victoria aud
Uncle Sam may here meet, here learn TO be
friends, here aid, as they can, to unite the
two grand nations in eternal love.

It is scarcely half century since the

Issuing from ancient darkness, which before
seemed impenetrable, this sun Of hope and
| increasing Joy Is all the more brilliant from
| contrast with the black off.rolling clouds.
| IL attracts the attention OF the world. Now
| Is II evident that genius existed even under
the ban Of oppression, scarcely breathed In
| its deathlike slumber, yet was capable of
being invigorated, Of waking to full life and
activity.
The authors OF whom this book gives an
account are among the most distinguished.
Their lives were singular, and their works
are go. To u.s. Americans, they are novel,
indeed, and abounding in matter for our
philosophy.
