'STEVENS. History of the Methodist Episco
pal Church in the United States of Amer
ica. By Abel Stevens, LL. D., Author
of the History of "The Religious Movement
of the Eighteenth Century, called Method
ism," etc.. Vol. I, The Planting of Ameri

and Training of American Methodism.

Higgins.
These two volumes are a continuation of
the author's labors in the field of Methodist
Church history. His former volumes on
the "Religious Movement," &c., belonged
chiefly to the transatlantic phases of the
history; these bring before the reader the
extraordinary developments of the system
in our own land. Even while we differ
conscientiously and on important points from
the views of the body here portrayed, and
regard its, good influence .as in many re
spects superficial, and, its evil.finfl reaction
ary results as frequently very .great and
dishonoring to the cause of true religion,
yet we must heartily recognize in the
Methodist Church, with all its faults, a
true, living, working, zealous, and, on the
whole, efficient member of the great evangeli
cal sisterhood, and unhesitatingly admit that
a history of the - Church at large in modern'
times, would be impossible without large
reference to the work of her leader; and
members, and particularly to their reflex
influence upon the religious life of commu
nions and of individuals, who rejected and
opposed them. The great service of Meth
odism heretofore has been in carrying the
essentials of the gospel to the most remote
localities and most abandoned classes of
men. Its pioneer work could hardly have
been done by a society with any other" or
ganization, or with a different spirit from
its own. Hence we may admit as approxi
mately correct the very startling claim
made by the historian at the outset, where
Wesley and Watt are brought before us,
the latter as a student, the former as a
visitant at Glasgow University in 1767;
the former "actually preparing the only (7)
means that could supply the incalculable
moral wants" which the invention of Watt
was about to create.
, The history is brought down to 1790,
when the Methodists of the country num
bered 57,631 members, having increased
from 14,988 in 1785! Dr. Stevens is a
writer of acknowledged ability, skilled in
the elucidation and arrangement of facts,
and thoroughly in love with his great sub
ject. His previous works have promptly
taken the position of standards, where,
doubtless, the present and forthcoming
volumes will be readily allowed to stand.

With greater ingenuity even than usual,
the gifted and powerful writer has woven
allegory and real life together in this story,
in such a way as to show to the young es
pecially, the contrast between the true good
and the false show which the world chases
after. The language is not lowered to
baby talk, but is the real boy and girl col
loquial, and will be recognized and rel
ished by this class of readers.

Amt, Lectures on the Science of Lan

By Max Mi,iller M. A. Fellow of All Souls'
College, Oxford, &c. Second series. With
thirty-one Illustrations. New York, Chas.
Scribner. Published by arrangellent with
the Author. 12mo, pp. 622, laid tinted
paper.
The general soundness and good judg
ment, as well as scientific depth and thor
oughness of the author, have been satisfac
torily- attested by the reception given to his
first series of lectures, which, appeared some
two or three years ago, The present vol
ume treats of the sounds in which' language
is clothed, syllables, letters, orr words; de
scribes their origin, formation, and laws of
growth and decay; passes to whit may be
called the soul of language, examining. the
first conceptions that, claimed utterances,
their combinations and ramifications, their
growth, their decay, and their resuscitations.
By this division of the subject, the-author
is led into the two widely different depart
ments ; Of Etymology and Mythology. He
confines his 'investigations, however, to the
very lirnitdd area of English, French, Ger
man, Latin, Greek, and Sanscrit languages,
in which, however, abundant illustrations
of great general principles may be found.
The topics of his lectures are, first: Intro
ductory; then Language and Reason; the
Physiological Alphabet, with illustrations of
the positions of the various organs in utter
ing the primary sounds; Phonetio Change;
Grimm's Law; Principles of. Etymology;
Powers of Roots; Metaphor; MytholOgy of
the Greeks; Jupiter the Supreme Aryan
God; Myths of the Dawn; Modern My
thology.
Our readers will find in Muller's books
readable and lucid discussions of most in
teresting problems in the study of languages.
At this late day in the progress of the sci
ence, they need scarcely be admonished of
its great importance to every student, and
of the extraordinary compass of truth,
which is often packed away in the history
and peculiarities of a single term, or of the
light which is cast upon human nature, in
some of its most important aspects, by the

GurzoT. Meditations on the Essence of
Christianity and on the Religious Questions
of the Day. By M. .Guizot. Translated
from the French under the superintendence
of the Author. New York, Chas. Scrib
ner & Co. 12 mo, pp. 356, large type.
The honored and truly great Christian
philosopher of France in these meditations
offers his contribution to the settlement of
the religious questions now agitating all
thoughtful minds. He reminds us that
the assaults made by the enemies of reli
gion are aimed at its very foundations, and
affect the interests of all who . claim the
Christian name, Catholic and Protestant
alike. Enumerating the solemn problems
upon which men in all ages have exercised
their deepest thoughts under the name of
"Natural Problems," he gives the key-note
of the "Meditations"oin the following sig
,
nificant language
" For myself, arrived at the term of a
lung life, one of labor, of reflection, and of
trials—of trials in thought as well as in ac
tion; I am convinced that the Christian
dogmas are the legitimate and satisfac
tory solutions of the religious prohlems
which, as I have said, nature suggests and
man carries in his own bfeast,' and from
which he cannot escape."
These dogmas he enumerates as follows,:
—Creation, Providence, Original Sin, the
Incarnation, and Redemption. He then
proceeds to consider the . Supernatural, the
Limits of Science, the Inspiration, of the
Scriptures, God according to the Bible,
Jesus Christ according to the New Testa
ment. All these points are handled with
reverence, candor, and an elevated tone like
that of Pascal, though without the deep
and ardent intensity and nervous force of
language of Pascal, and carry, one far above
the din of controversy into a region, of
calm, where faith and philosophy seem to
have forgotten their differences, and walk
in happy union and mutual confidence.
Amid much to admire, and rejoice in, and
while admitting the sincere purpose of the
venerable author. to uphold the structure
of evangelical Christianity, we regret to
observe the looseness of his views on 1n...
spiration. On this point he opens a door
wide enough to admit a host of modern
errorists, and weakens the entire fabric 'of
his argument: by maintaining the well
known but impracticable distinction, that
the Bible is inspired exclusively and, only
on the subject of religion - and morals. He
even takes the trouble to give, in a note,
instances of errors in grammar, which he
thinks he and his son have discovered in
the original languages of the Old and New
Testaments—a piece of superfluous criti
cism which we are glad to see Professor
Tayler Lewis has had the opportunity . af
forded him by the publisher to rebuke and
expose in a supplementary note.

With map and pertraits and numerous
illustrations, chiefly from drawings by Cap
tain Grant: New York, Harper & Bro
thers. Bvo, pp. 590.
It is some months since this thrilling
narrative of one of the most remarkable of,
the many famous tours of modern explorers
was first given to the public; but the re
cent lamented death of the author and hero
has thrown a new, interest around the vol:
ume. The journal stretches over a period
from May 1859 to February - 1863; although
the journey itself was commenced in April,
1860, and continued nearly, three years to
the last named date:, The strange cou.n
tries brought to light, the wonder of a semi
civilization in the heart of Africa, the dan
gers and privations bravely met, and finally
the discovery of the great lake and its out
let, doubtless the long-eought source of the
Nile, form a Volume of surpassing interest
and instruction. The illustrations are in
lavish abundance, mostly full page, engra
vings, and generally admirablY executed.
The maps are. minute and elegant.

One of the choicest favours bestowed by
the Creator upon man is the gift of rich
ness, power, compass, flexibility, and beauty
of musical utterance. It involves genius
of a peculiar character, and its power to
charm and captivate the soul is among the
very greatest. It is fitting that some me
morials should be gathered of individuals
distinguished above all their fellows for the
degree in which they have possessed the
gift. Such a task is undertaken in the
"Queens of Song." The volume is written
in an attractive, animated style; the biog
raphies are brief and well-constructed;
satisfactory ideas of the marvellous powers
of the vocalists are conveyed to the reader
by thZ graphic descriptions of the writer,
and sad truths of the follies, vanities, and
even vices of the gifted daughters of song
are not concealed. We are pleased to note
a decided improvement in moral character
as the subjects are taken from times nearer
our own. The noble figure made by the
unostentatious, untarnished virtues and
liberal benefactions of Jenny Lind, goes
far to redeem: the , reputation of female
singers and performers as a class from the
doubtful position which it has occupied (

ary 2, 1865. As usual, Mr. Birkinbine
has presented us with a full and valuable.
report of his well-kept Department, to
which our city is so much indebted for its
health and prosperity. The Report treats
of the Quality of the Water, the. Drainage
into Fairmount Dam, the Quantity supplied
from 1854 to 1864, the .Capacity of the.
Works and Reservoirs, and the Character
and Efficiency of the Pumping , Machines'
used. Important suggestions' as to the in-,
creased supply , every year becoming more
necessary are made. The condition and
operation of the works and distribution of
the main pipes are giVen in detail. The
ill effects of mere partisanship in the selec
tion of men, without proper qualifications,
to fill important subordinate posts in the
Department, are forcibly exhibited. We
trust the time is at hand when faithful
services and competent men will be pro
perly valued in every department of public
life. Mr. Birkinbine has been connected
with the Water Department longer than
any official since the elder Graeff.

White, who, for twenty-two years and,

Roselle, occupies her, place. One - pupil
also had died. Both of these deaths were
accompanied with the comforting assurance
of evangelical faith. One hundred and

IBON IN THE BLOOD
It is well known to the medical profession the.
IRON is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELE
MENT of the blood. This is derived chiefly from the
food we eat; but if the food is not properly digested,
or if, from any cause whatever, the necessary Quantity
of iron is not taken into the circulation, or becomes
reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood
will irritate the heart, will clog up the lungs, will_
stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver, and will
send its disease-producing elements to all parts of the
system, and every one will suffer in whatever organ
may be predisposed to disease.
. The great value of
IRON AS A MEDICINE
is well known and acknowledged by all medical men.
The difficulty has been to obtain such a preparation of
, U as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once
with the blood. This point, says Dr. Hays. Massachu
setts State Chemist, has been attained in the Peruvian
'Syrup, - by combination in a way Wore unknown.

surprising activity with which it cleanses the blood
and cures these diseases.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been
frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little.
if any, sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence bitter disappointmenthas followed
the use of the various extracts of sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this compound "Sarsaparilla," and intend to supply
such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load
of obloquy which rests upon it. We think we have
ground for believing it has virtues which are irresist
ible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure. We can only assure the sick, that we offer
them the best alterative which we know how to pro
duce, and we have reason to believe it is by far the
most effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered by
anybody.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL is so universally
known to surpass every ether remedy for the cave of
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis,
incipient Consumption, and for the relief of consump
tive patients in advanced stages of the disease, that it
is useless here to recount the evidence of its virtues.
The world knows them.
