RefOrmer of this week is fair common
tary of its reputed publisher and osten-
sible editor whose picture it contains as
the "last of his race" He omitted, how
ever, to print his history or that of his
family. We forbear to supply the omis-
sion for decency's sake and out of respect
to our readers. The Reformer'S account
of the celebration is reprint of the Troy
Press, and its only local item of any ac-
count, is an extended account of case
which cannot be read in public. While
this is characteristic of Livingston, yet
this issue of his paper is comparatively
clean, as its declining list of regular
readers know. Keep up the supply Of
filth, Jim, and in time even your Ben
nihgton coterie of admirers will be sur.
feited. ......, ......... "

A NOTICE OF ETHAN ALIENS BOOK.

Reason the only Oracle of Man
This singular book is the rarest Of
Aliens publications, and is remarkable
as being the first Work published in
America in direct opposition to the
Christian religion as has been alleged.
An abrigement of it Was published in
New York in 1886. Which the following
title Reason, the only Oracle of Man; or
a Compendius System of Natural Reli-
gion. By Col. Ethan Allen. Published
by G. w. and A. j. Matsell, "a Chatham
St., New York, 1886. II m, PIP.
106 including table of contents and index.
The first edition of this Work Was
printed by Mr.. Haswell, of Bennington,
Vt. Not long after its publication, a
part of the edition, comprising the en-
tire, of several signatures, was acct.
dentally consumed by fire; whether
Mr.. Haswell deemed this fair judg
ment upon him for having printed the
work or not, is unknown-but the fact
is he soon after committed the renal n,
der, of the edition to the flames, and
Joined the Methodist connection; so that
but few copies were circulated. In
PRODUCTION to Masell's Edition, p L..
Sal in.
Mr.. Masell's story is a romance, so far
as Mr.. Haswell having committed any
part of the edition to the flames is con-
cerned it is true that the entire edition,
with the exception of about thirty
copies, was destroyed by an accidental
fire, said by one authority to have
caused by lightning, so that the work is
now exceedingly scarce. The liberal
views contained in the Oracle Of Reason,
so generally censured and misunder-
stood at the time of publication, if put
up in the press of to-day, might become
as popular as numerous publications
universally accepted by the masses of
readers; one hundred years have en-
larged and greatly harmonized the reli-
gions of enlightened people. Another
edition, abbreviated, was published in
1854, viz: "Reason the only Oracle Of
Man; or compendious System of Ma
tural Religion. By Col. Ethan Allen.
Boston: J. P. Mendum Cornhill. 1854"
