Bvo., pp. 434. Price $3. For sale by Clax ton. All England is ringing with the conflict between the sensational and a priori philo sophies, represented by the late Sir W. Ham- ilton and his friends on the one hand, and by Stuart Mill,'the historian 0-rote, Prof. Bain, and the Westminster Review on the. other. The spirit of Locke, or rather the worstielements of it—of Hobbes and Hume, has gained resurrection in the theories of Mill., The French mind, ever a congenial soil for the material philosophy, has fur nished the most able advocate of the system in the positivist Comte; and Mill, captivat ed and discipled by Comte, is now engaged, with a large measure of success, in restor ing the dominion of the system in Great Britain His opponent in this volume is indeed no blind disciple or admirer of Hamilton, nor does he write his book chiefly to defend the system of the great Sootchman. Upon his own ground, and for the interest of truth solely, he engages in the conflict. He first shows that Mr. Mill's professed methods of investigation rest upon sensation and asso ciation of ideas. He charges him, however, with admitting of other means of explain- ing the facts of our 001180i0USACBS, and com pares his school to the alchemists, who, " when they put earth into the retort, never could get anything but earth, and could get gold only by introducing some substance containing gold." Notwithstanding the effort of Mr. Mill's philosophy is to dis- pense with intuitive principles, McCosh' gathers out of his writings concessions enough, to admit of being arranged under as many heads as the letters of the Greek alphabet, of the reality of intuitions. There is a sort of humorous ostentation in McCosh's parade of these admissions, which, however, he declares he does not mean to use merely as concessions, but "because they contain important truth." He °then proceeds more directly to the-discussion of Mill's erroneous principles; shows that sensation, insteadAt of being an ultimate, irresolvable fact, is really complex in con sciousness; and that it is incapable of ori ginating thought, except by stirring up a mental capacity in the soul, far above its own sphere. Step by step he proceeds to ex hibit the inadequacy of Mill's account of the leading facts of consciousness; shows that it unsettles the foundation of knowledge and "leaves us standing on a bridge of which we do not know that it has a support at either end ;" convicts him of the lowest and most revolting views of Truth, as no thing more than " the consciousness of pre sent sensations and the possibilty of other sensations;" . as " nothing more than an accordance of our ideas with sensations and laws of the association- of sensations; which sensations oome we know not whence, and are 'associated by resemblances we know ,'not how;" proves him to be a disciple and close follower of Hume, with a higher moral tone in his writings, but with a less comprehensive view of the capacity of the mind. " Hume discovers flagrant con tradictions in human intelligences; Mill maintains that the most certain principles reached by us, being all the product of cir cumstances, might have to give way before new circumstances or in other conditions: One is an avowed skeptic or professed pyrrhonist, the other is a supporter of the doctrines of nescience and relativity,' hold ing that we can newer reach truths which may not be modified or set aside in other times and circumstances." The critic concludes by exposing the falsity of Mill's charges of insufficiency against the Ethics of the New Testament, and by examining Comte's famous law of sooioldgy and the substitute for theology offered by the Positivist school;. which, however, Mill and the British followers of Comte have had the good sense to reject—much to the disturbance of their crazy French master and would-be High Priest. Like all McCosh's works, this " Defence" is written in the most luminous style, it being a high pleasure rather than a task to read it. It rests upon tried and sure prin ciples of philosophy and of common sense. It is animated by a devout regard for truth and for the present and future interests of man, imperilled by the new and specious forms in which the sensational philosophy is reappearing among the scientific circles of Great Britain. Beeping clear of the grave errors of Hamilton, on the relativity of knowledge, he effectively' exposes and demolishes the far graver errors' of his im mediate opponent. The book is got up in a truly luxurious style and at a moderate price for such an edition ; but it is matter of regret that publishers sometimes needlessly embarrass the circulation of a book, which, like this, .could be produced in a form but half so • expensive, and thus brought upon the study table of almost every studious pastor. CuWm. The Mystery of Iniquity Unveiled ; or, Popery Unfolded and Refuted, and its Destination Shown in the Light of PropheticSori6oture, in Seven Discourses. By Chandler urtis. Boston : Crocker & Brewster. 12m0., pp. 416. 'The true character of the Romish Church :is fully set forth in the seven discourses of this volume. And as Protestants will con tent themselves to remain in ignorance of almost everything on the subject beyond a few great historic facts, we are glad that, from time to time, there are found those who do not grudge the labor and expense of re newed efforts like this of Mr. Curtis, to rouse and instruct them. The soul-destroy ing errors, the gross superstitions, the sys tematic idolatry, the unsounded depths of iniquity, fraud, vice, impiety and cruelty, and the arrogant claims and lofty preten sions of this corrupt church, are not more remarkable than its vast power, popularity, and success. The former part of the picture -is-drawn in dark and truthful colors by the author. Without any parpose of ori ginality, he confines himself mainly to cita tions- of the statements and opinions• of 'others, which he has been content to arrange under such heads as : The arrogant claims of the Roman Catholics relatiie to the Christian Church; their poSition as to the Rule of. Faith; their sentiments as to the Sacraments;, Idolatrous Worship; Decep tions; Intolerance and final Destiny as a Church. The facts are compactly and lucidly stated, though we think the faculty of condensation might have been exercised to great advantage on many of the citations; and we shOuld have had a far more readable book, if the writer had made the sentiments thoroughly his own, and reproduced them in a more continuous style, reserving his ac knowledgments to foot , notes, or to the preface. Paste and scissors are altogether too conspicuous in the make-up. As to the deeper question of the elements of power in Romanism or the religious philosophy involved in this portentous phenomenon, we seek for them in vain in this book. The writer or his authorities give the year 1867 as the probable terminus of the Church's existence. A WORK OF FAITH. History of the Con sumptives' Home and the First Annual Report, to September 30, 1865. With an Introduction by Rev. F. D.HUntington, D. D., and Rev. E. N. Kirk, D.D. - Boston. 16m0., pp. 104. No Christian can look into this record of humble, believing, active effort for the relief Of one of the ibst melancholy forms of kuman suffering without deep and pleasure able interest. Dr. Cullis, a pious physician of Boston; beholding the painful and neg- leeted condition of the consumptive poor with whom he came in contact, felt moved, in the spirit of George Mueller of Eng land, to lay their case before the Lord and to offer himself for the special work of min istering to their bodily and spiritual neces sities so soon as they way seemed clear. After waiting on the Lord and praying for over two years, on the 27th of September, 1864, the Consumptives' Home was dedi cated. The brochure before us details these facts, and gives from Dr. Cullis' journal, the history, external and internal, of the first year. No organization exists to carry on the work, but mention of it has several times been made in religions jour nals, and with the warm friendship of such men as Drs. Kirk and Huntington, it can scarcely be considered remarkable that over $BOOO in money, besides large donations of supplies have been made. Sti ll there is room left for holy boldness and humble faith, the exhibitions of which, with their rewards, in Dr. Cullis' journal, are highly edifying. Thirty-four patients received the benefits of the Home during the Year, of whom thitteen died, all in the faith. PERIODICALS AND PAMPHLETS. DEAN ALFORD'S CONTEMPORARY RE viEw for May, contains: University Re'- form in Relation to Theolooical Study; Dr. Pusey's Eirenicon ; Crete; Pastoral Work; The Conscience Clause; Origines Evangelism; Dean Stanley on the Hebrew Kings and Prophets ; Politico-Ecclesiastical Questions of the Day in Italy. Title and Index. The Dean of Westminster's article on Dr. Pusey's Eirenicon will .command general attention. The critic,-while denying the practicablity, probability, and desirableness orthe union contemplated by the author, yet expresses joy at the publication and general acceptance ot the book, as tending to diffuse a general spirit of charity; as giv ing currency to the " liberal" position that we need not belieVe all in order to believe something; and—will the reader, who has been disposed to recognize the substantial or thodoxy of the review credit it?—because the Thirty-nine Articles are shown in the Eirenicon to be " chiefly historical land marks of the faith of the Church at a given time, which cannot bind the consciences of future times," and because, in the calm and pleased reception given to the treatise containing this doctrine,-the critic sees this " good cause triumph !" This seems to throw open the Review to the loose and latitudinarian school of Maurice, Colenso and the Essayists and Reviewers, and com pels us, with sincere regret, to withdraw Dar former acceptance and approval of it, as the standard of an enlightened but genuine orthodox faith. Much nearer to the y og i_ tion we hoped to see maintained by t hi s new organ is Dr. Howson's article on Stan ley's Second Series of Jewish History. And yet, while the praise given to thi s work is copious and hearty, the blame is so deferentially and apologetically expressed as to enhance rather than diminish the read er's appreciation of it. We cannot approve of such an excess of courtesy as to emasculate criticism. It is truly ridiculous fora friend of God's word, as we believe Dr. Howson THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1866. to be, to ask forgiveness for noting the exceedingly grave error of Dean Stanley in levelling the Divine element in the Bible until it is in imminent danger of be ing lost altogether from his representations. Dr. Howson's tone is almost ominous of his own future acquiesence in such views. Other articles in this number are " Uni versity Reform in Relation to Theological Study," showing the extraordinary neglect of a due training for the ministerial office in the Church of England, and tracing some of the recent anomalous movements in that body to this source; also on Crete, The Pastoral. Work, &c THE WESTERN PULPIT, April, 1866.

FOREIGN AND HOME-MADE BOOKS.— Childs' Literary Gazette says :—" The in creased proportion in the New York book market of books manufactured abroad, but with a New 'York imprint, is very striking. It is a question whether such books are ' American publications.' A number of the, handsomest of the Appletons' late pub ,ications, for instance, of ' New York : D. Appleton & Co, 1866,' are printed by Eyre & Spottiswoode, or some other Londot printer. The like is the case with sundry of Lippincott's books, of Philadelphia; of Roberts Brothers', of Boston, etc., etc. In like manner, Leypoldt & Holt issue editions of Thackeray's works of the Tauchnitz print, manufactured in Leipsic, but with the New York imprint. These books are of a class heretofore manufactured in this coun try. Our working printers and bookbind ers, of course, lose all the work on these editions. The matter must, however, re main in this state unless the tariff is altered, or the new wood paper of the Manayunk mill, or some other influence, shall alter the relative cost of making books here and abroad." We fear there is little hope of relief from the source above named. t , Eighteen cents.a pound is asked for a fair product of the Manayunk mills, suited for newspapers. As foreign paper as good or better can be imported for 12 to 14 cents in gold, it is apparent that nothing is gained as yet by the invention. HUGO'S POPULARITY IN FRANCE.—The correspondent of Childs' Gazette says:— The proprietors of two of our two cent daily papers have been striving to outbid each other for M. Victor Hugo's new novel, which they wish to publish in the feuilleton of their paper. One of them, the proprie tor o f L e Soleil, offered M. Hugo sloo,_ 000 cash for the privilege of so publishin g The Revue des Deux Nondes offered iv r,Pooo t o publish two chapters o f i t. 14 -ugo d ec li n ed both. offers. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. Amertean Foreign A BOOK RECOVEBED.—In " Much Ado About Nothing," Beatrice asks Benedick if he had said that she—was disdainful-and bad her wit out of the " Hundred Merry Tales." Recently Rev. J. J. Conybeare, poking among the rubbish of a book-stall, happened to pick up an old volume with a thick binding of pasted leaves; which binding of pasted leaves, on being wetted and parted, was found to contain portions of a true and genuine, but undated, copy of " The Hundred Merry Tales." Many pages were damaged; but, as luck would have it, more than one copy of the old chap book, in the humor of which Queen Bess delighted, had been used_ by the binder, so that some pages were found twice over: A Copy was put together horn these pieces, with some few breaks and slips; and the large fragment, so'oddly recovered, was given to literature by 'Singer from the Chiswick• Press. From that day there has been no doubt as to what book - was meant. A new edition, with introduction and notes by Dr. Herman Oesterley, has just, been published in London, more complete than the first, from a unique perfect copy, print ed in 1526, and discovered by him in the library of the University 'of Gottingen THE POET COWPER.--There has lately been advertised, in a London paper, to be sold to the highest bidder, an '• authentic relic of the Poet Cdwper."
