A most interesting class of facts are
grouped 'together in this. Volume. The
wonderful activity and great influence
of man, in affecting the external ap
pearance of our globe, is exhibited by
illustrations drawn from almost every
country and every age. After an, intro
ductory chapter, in which the causes of
physical decay are discussed, and the
possibility of restoration by a judicious
exercise of our skill is considered, the
author proceeds to state, in successive
chapters, the influence of man on the
vegetable or animal species, on the
woods, on the waters and on the
sands, and concludes with a chapter on
" projected or possible geographical
changes by man," including the BUez
Canal, the proposed canal across the
Isthmus of Darien, &c. Among the'
topics of interest spoken of in these
chapters, :are : Pisciculture; effect of
the Destruction of the Forest on cli
mate ; Draining; Artesian Wells; the
value of Dunes .or mounds of ,sand on
the sea shore; and scores of others
equally interesting and valuable. The
merit of the work. is not in any high
scientific character, but rather ia = the'

HEADLEY, J. T: - The Chaplains and Clergy
of the 'Revolution. By J. T. Headley,
author of " Washington and his Generals,"
etc. New York : C. Scribner. 12mo, pp.
402.
The prominent part, taken by the,
clergy of this country during thetrans-'
actions leading to the Revolution, and
in the course of the war itself; calls for
some connected account of their servi
, Mr. Headley has made patient
search and has gathered a very valuable
collection of facts r a large part, of which,
are entirely new to the reading public.
Family papers and traditions, old'
pamphlets and letters in antiquarian
societies, with other like materials have
been consulted, and much that is inter
esting and valuable in the life of the
clergy, and the pastors of our cpuntry ,
in those tryina. periods is brought to
light. , The readiness of the clergy, per,
sonally to bear their full part
,in the,
suffering and peril of the times is fully
exhibited. in no age have the Minis
try shown themselves unwilling to give
practical demonstration of the sincerity
of their devotion to a cause, which they,
considered just, and for which they have
couaselted, their fiocks to make f sacri-,
fices.
Of coarse, Mr. Headley has given - us.
a very picturesque, readable book.
Neither the author nor his topics would,
allpw.us to expeCt anything else. Few
men, as a class,furnish more interesting
materials for sketches than the clergy
‘.
of our country. Connect them with. the
stirring period of the Revolition, and
you have a field of double interest.
Besides brief notices, there are ex
tended sketches of the revolutionary
career of thirty-four • ministers, in the
volume, including such tames as Duche,
Muhlenberg, William Tennent, Bishop
White, Timothy Dwight, Joel Barlow,
Dr. 'Witherspoon, John 'Rogers, George
Duffield, and many others less known.
It Will be seen that the book fills an
important vacancy in giving the reli
gious element of that great struggle for
independence. s

STATE OP THE BOOK TRADE.—Chiks
Circular for April 15th. says : The re-'
salts of the recent trade' sales in this
city and fn New York indicate a mpst
flourishing conOtion of the trade..
may to some seem difficult to account
for the prosperous state of the trade,,
while the country is engaged in a civil
strife which one`-' would'suppo'se 'would
have the effect of - draining and absorb
ing, or of diverting, its resources, as . well
as of restricting the domestic market.'
But, instead of a depression 'of the bdok
business, we have a greatly increased
activity. The war itself has added a
new and imposing department to our .
literature. lloreover, the very restlebil
noes and the cravings, of the, times•MaY
lead the public to seek enjoyment in
hooka: But; Whatever the may;solution
be, the fact is so, that the book-trade
never before appeared to be so prosper
ous. At the trade sale in this city, the
sales were larger and the prices were
better than for many years before,
though there were no invoices from
several of the Ne,w.York houses. We
have the same favQrable report to make
of the New York trade sale.

LAMARTINE'S LATE WITE.---FrOM the
Paris' correspon den t of Childs' Circular,
we learn that a sketch of the life of this
lady has , just been published in that
city, which tells.the world something ;of
her domestic life: . She copied with her
own hand of her', husband's works,
except,;. " ; Les ; GirondinS : " All of the
"copy' : ' supplied the printer is in her,
hind; she kept the great poet's own
manuscript' as some' precious 'treasure,
whieh:she knew posterity would value
as highly ,as, she did. He wrote the
poem "Jocelyn" in a large album which;
he used for an aeount:book: The' ob:
verse face of the leaves contained" the
accounts' of the laborers in lig i
yards, the reverse was cpvered with
poetry. After the poem was completed
and negotiations with a publisher car
ried to successful issue, M. de Lamar
tine, •pointing to the album as he mount
ed his,horse to .make one . of hie usual
long excursions, asked his wife to send
it to the printer. She opened it, and
seeing, at first, nothing but the accounts
of the laborers in the vineyard, thought
there must be some mistake. She ex
amined further and found :the reverse
face of every leaf contained " Jocelyn."
She latighed, took the alb . = to her sec
retary, and resolutely' set to work to
copy the poem. M. de Lamartine
thought his work: in the publisher's
hands„uiatil a week afterwards, when,
:as they were sitting down to breakfast,
she gave him the album and the un
blotted manuscript Of "Jocelyn!' The.
poet was so deeply touched, he took a
pen and wrote the .three dedicatory
strophes to Maria Anna Eliza, which
are to be found on the first page of that
work.

Triquet, against an author who has._ in

novel, a surgeon of the same name, whci
is presented as one of those tigers with
a medical diploma, who delight to cut
and slash and hack and hew poor writhz
ing, screaming humanity. The real
Triquet took great offence at the novel
ist (who never heard of his existence)
bestowing the name of Triquet upon such
a character. The surgeon brought suit
abd claimed, not only the suppression:of
the name in the story, - but $lO,OOO by
way of damages. If this claim had been
admitted, literary men would have been
placed in an awkward position. For it
is not only one of the, most*lfteult feats

to seek a change of climate, and they
were, therefore, on the way to meet the

and New Orleans. They had reached
Philadelphia, when Mr. Ticknor was
taken, suddenly ill on Saturday, with
congestion of the lungs, and on the fol

of his death was 53 years, 9 menths and

QUAKER EVANGELIST'S GOING TO
GREENLAND.
A recent number of Riiends' Review,
published at Philadelphia,' contains an
item of Intelligence that is of interest .to
the Moravian Church. It appears that
Isaac Sharp, -s :member of the Society of
Friends in England, has been commission
ed "to pay a religious visit in Green
and that Harrison Penny, another
member of the Society, has voluntarily
offered to be his companion. They ex
pected to sail in one of the vessels that
leave Copenhagen, about the present
season, for the trading posts and mission
station of that'country.
Such visits of Quaker Evangelists to
parts of the world where the Gospel needs
support are nottincommon. In the last
century they frequently occurred among
the Indians of our own land; and on more
than one occasion the converts whom
Ziesberger and his coadjutors had gather
ed into the Church were cheered by the
presence and liberal aid of Friends. In
the Paxton Insurrection, as is well known,.
the Society used all its influence to secure
for the Christian Indians the protection
of the Government.

LIFE AND TIMES
JOHN
BY E. IL GILLETT.
Two 'Vols. Royal Bvo. Price, $6,00.
Names OF THE PRESS.
`Mr . Gillett has done a good work in devoting so must
talent and labor to one interesting field of historical re•
search, with the view of diffusing a knowledge of oneof
the most remarkable men,.and one of the most impos
tent movements in ecclesiastical history. There haft
been, to our view, few more valuable contributions to
our religious literature than these two volumes during
the present century. The author of this work takes
rank with Sparks, Bancroft, Irving, Prescott, Hopkins
and others, who have done so much to exalt the repute,
tion of our country in the world of letters by their his=
torical productions.—Prineeton Review.
A richer contribution to Historical Theology has not
been made, either in this country or Europe, for many
years, than by these noble volumes.—Theetegieei Eclectic.
Fertile as the present age has been in historical works
of the highest merits, few of them will rank above these
volumes in those qualities which give permanent inter
est and value to a history. It is a work which reflects
honor on American literature, and adds another name
to the noble list of American historians.. 7 —Amer. Presb.
and TheoZogiosl Review.
