W hatl with peculiar iatifaction such a work
s the book before 119 It design Is a good on,
and Its execution recommends It a a volume
needed In every household and invaluable In
wott school. We will briefly endeavor to Rive
an Idea ol its arrangement There are two hun
dred and fifty-four lessons, suitable for the en
tire nertieeB.ot the day. The first is a hymn,
lth th music eiven, then folio W3 a collection
of the various verses of the Bible having bearing
upon the special subject: then another hymn
n the same toplo, and finally a prayer, In which
the idea promulgited In the former exercise Is
laid before tbe reader. Lot us, to illustrate the
plan, select a lesson for a day on any subject,
y, "Temperance a Christian Virtue." The
services open with the well known hymn:
"a eaoti roe, my God and Ring,
In all tiiinui ineetusoe;
Ami what I do in any ttiiDg,
1 o do it as lor 1 hoe I
"1 o scorn the somes' sway,
Wiiue 8111 to Iboe I teud;
In ail 1 do, be J'liou the way,
I u all, be Thou toe end."
Then follows such selections from Scripture as
the following:
"1. Lot your moderation be known to all men. Tuo
JLord ! at liauu.
' 'J. V Lereiuie, gird up the loins of your mind, be
eoLer, and hope io the end, lor the grace that i to
be brought uuio ou, at the roreiuc.ou ot Jojus
Chrnt.
"8. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging ; and

they drinc and loriret the law, and jiervort the Judg

"8. Woe unto them that riso up early in the morn
Ins, that thev mar loliow strouir dnuk: that con
tinue until niirhr. till wine inflame them I
"9. Whiie ttioy are diuukeu a-t drunkards, they
aball be tlevouied as stubu.e lu.ly dry, '
The hymn so popular lollows, commencing:
"A charge to keep 1 have,
A God to ilorilv ;
A never-uviUK aodi to save,
Akd fit it lor the sky."
Then the services are concluded by the fol"
lowing prayer by Hon. Joseph Allison, Judge of
the Court ot Common Pleas:
"Our Father in heaven, enable us at this tima to
Tonoer to Thee nu acceptable service. We approach
Tl.ee as suppliants in the name ot our blosauo. tie
docmcr. Draw us, we beseech f hoe, by the inllueuce
of Ihy Ho y Spirit, into intimate communion with
Ihysell.
"May we. in the exercise of a true and an abiding
faith, trust in the promise ot acceptance tr.ven to all
. who draw nigh unto the throne of Thy heavenly
race, in the name ol our Lord Jesus.
"We wonid le.ieve, he p, Lord our unbelief, that
we may approach Ihee, even with boldness, encou
raged by the Comtoilcr, famar unto us, Fear not,
W confess our aiua be' ore j bee, and acknowledge
the justice ot our condemnation bjr Thy holy law,
lor we have sinned a?ainsi light and knowledge, and
there is no hope in us; having no other reluge, wa
cling to the cross, and cry, Save, Lord, or we perish.
Father, we inip.ore Thy constant care and protec
tion, flow great is our need ot it, fliou only
knowest, assai ed as we are by temptations which
ever beset ns.
' Grant that we may lire a sodlyand Christian
life, so that, by Thy trace assisting us, we may
- trinmph over the assaults of the evil one, and In the
end, come off conquerois, tuiuugh our Lord Jesus
-Christ.
"May we dally grow in grace, and in the know
ledge of tioo; adding to our laith, virtue; to vutue,
knowledge; and to know edre, temperance; ana io
temperance, patiei.ee; and to patience, godliness;
that we may la oun1orine4 more and more to Tnee,
and bcouie meet lor the iuheritanos of the just
made pertect.
"And, more especially, wou'd we at this time pray,
O most merciful God, that Me may be kept lrom tne
sin of iiilemperanc, and saved from the suffering,
the degradation, and all the evils of drunkeunoss in
this life, and iiom the doom of the impenitent in the
lite to come.
"How tearful, O God, is Thy decree, that no
4rnnkard shall inherit eternal life!
"babdne, we pray Thee our carnal apnetltes and
desires; enlighten our darkened understandings;
purify and e evate our affections, that we may be
able to lead peaceab e, and quiet, and holy ivea;
cultivating the grace of temperance in a I things;
so thai love, loy, peace, 'ong snlliu. gontcnes,
(roodLess, laith, meekness, and temperance may
.abide in us.
"And at the end, with affections weaned from
the things ot earth, mav we. nitrified from all sin,
through the merits ot our crucitied Redeemer, be
received to Jhyself, and saved by Thy everlasting
salvation,"
Among the contributors of original prayers are
all of the leading divines of our laud, and of all
denominations. There is no sectional creo i
espoused, but only the broad frame-work on
'which all Christendom stands.
From what we bave said, the reader can easily
infer that tbe work Is oue of great value, and
.supplies.. a want in the religious world. We
". have, In restricting it to the schoul-room and
-family, made an error. Individuals can use it
Vwith profit as well as assemblies.' It la bound In
rery fine style, and in a form to be perma
aent and bear usage without iujury. Too much
, credit cannot b? given to Messrs. Schermerhorn,

n tanner In which they nave got it up.

C: n.rrr, and Suicide. By A. O. Kelloeg, M. D.
I lurd & Houghton, New York. Philadelphia
A, tenta: J- Lippincott & Co.
Th llttle wrk before us is Intended to cover
a gtp Q1 which has escaped almost all the other
comm mtators ot Shakespeare, or at least been
treatet lof by them in such a manner as not to
debar t M expert from throwing new light upon
the subj iect ; and this intention Is pat tially carried
out TUe writer is evidently a great admirer
and a ca ireful student of the bard, but he has
not deep power of penetration, and, as a geueral
-commentator, is a failure. From his position
jm Physician of the TJtica Insane Asylum, wo
.julght naturally expect that he would treat with
tkill those victims of mental malady depicted
Thy the Father of the Drama. He has more than
fulfilled expectation in some respects, and he
inas fallen far short of it in others. . In point of
i uiinbers we find, if Dr. Kellogg is to be trusted,
a fa greater number of madmen In Shake
speare than we had any idea of. -Under the
betting irf insane is classed "Lear," 'Mac
betht," "Lady Macbeth," "Hanlet," "Ophelia,"
"Jacques," and '".ordelia."
As fmbecilos we ai, that "Bottom," "Do

the propriety which elates "Caliban" as an
Jdiot, the crit!cu'IBi il 80CU could be 'called, on
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
"Othello" is clearly out of place, and is, bcwlcs,
extremely shallow. We turn with pleasure,
however, from the defects ot the work ta Its
merits. "Lear" is finely treated af, and an
amount o! professional light poured upon the
character which la most valuable: while of the
treatment ol "Hamlet" we cannot speak so
highly. Tbe character is taken up at the com
mencement of the play and. carefully followed
throughout; and any one who Is familiar with
the drama and examines with care the critique
ol Dr. Kellogg, cannot fall to be impressed with
the belief that "Hamlet" was, indeed, insane.
We quote that part ot the examination ot his
character which treats of that portion of the
play which Is the great stumbling-block to the
general reader:
Tlie t ext appearance of 'Hamlet,' of importance
In Illustration ot onr position, is at the conoluMon of
scene ill,, where h finds the king alone and at bis
attempted devotions. Here was an excellent oppor
tunity for him to wreak his vengeance upon him,
and he saw it. 'Now might 1 do it pat,' says he; but
be does no, lor titeimtiulse under which alone be
can act e fticiently is not upon him, and his riiaeaa"d
will and infirmity of purpose aro not sufficient for it;
and iraming a flimny exense, such as tho lear that
It he sent h-m into eternity whtlo praying ha wonld

he allows tne oi portunity to s ip from him. lie can

We now com to the extraordimry Interview be
teon Hamlet' and ids mother. (Act 8, scone iv.)
lYihnis no rcene lurnishesto the non-irolcjs onal
reader ueh strong evidence as this in tavor of tho
tl.rorv ot 'eiirning. To us, however, he appears like
one wl.o, being teally and nuly inano has summoned
ai his powers for the accomplishment ot his pur
poses ono ot which is to convince others thithois
not mud. lie can feign either sanity or insanity, as
btt sui ed hi purposes at the time, tloro, in tho
true p rit which animates him, he asserts in p'ain
words that he is not mad, only in 'craft,' and in
sp'toof all interna evidence to the contrary. mot of
his renders and critics aro ready to believe him.
"'It is not madness J have uttered; bring me to
the test.' tjniortnnately the tot lie relies upon,
tliouph once considered lulallible, Is not now re
garded as positive; indued, as appiicab'o to his case
it is quite woribli ss. It stnkos ns as rather st ran ire,
too, tl at one who is really feigning lor a purpose,
should take so much pains to muke others believe ho
Is not do'in; so. lie speaks rationally, vet sometimes
wildly and obscurely, and the unmerciful manner in
which he harrows up the lee ings of his mother,
b'aniew rthr as she was, and so deserving of his
severe censure, is in perfect keeping with his conduct
towards Ophelia' in a former scene, the reappear
ance of the gl.ost, now visible only o himself, shows
the cecp agitation of his mind, and with all hi self
poss Bion he is not able to suppress the emotions
caused bv this mental apparition.
'in 8. cues ii ai.d Hi ot Act 4, we see another
phase of his malady. 1 bat peculiar lovity of con
duct evinced by tho insane in view ot the dreadful
circumbtaucs which they have broucht upon them
selves I y their incane acts circumstances which
would cause the guilty sane to quake with fear
Is here admirablv rhown, as aiso that wavwarduess
and pel versify peculiar to ceilain forms of insanity,
ile appears to have conoealed the body of Tolo
nius,' whom be has slain in an insane impulse,
merely out of pure perversity, and not from any
lear ns to the consequences to himself from the
dood. In answer to the question ol 'Kosencrantz,'
'What have jou dene, my lord, wi ll the dead
body? he savs, quite significantly, 'Compounded
it with the dust, whreto 'tis km '
In the next sceLe, whon the king asks him where
Is Tolonius,' ho answers: 'At supper Mot
v. hero be eats, but where he is eaten; a certain
e, invocation ol politic worms are e'en at bun.
Your worm is your only emperor for d el;' and he
continnes to rally the king with the most caustc
sarcasm, showing him the ultimate identity between
a lat king and a loan beggar.
"Again, when tho king pnts the question, 'Where
Is foJoniusf ' he evades in a most provoking man
ner: Jn heaven ; send thither to see: if vour mes
senger find him not thero, seek him i' the other
placo yourself.'
"We next find him bewailing his own Imbecility
of purpose in view of the expedition ol oun 'For,
tinlras.' quite conscious apparently of bis intinr.ily,
yet wholly under Its inllueuce, and totally unable
to overcome it."
"We next meet 'Ham'et' in the churchyard, with
that same levity or character and conduct winch
we have beforo glanotd at as one of the character
istics of his direose. He josts with elonns, and
mora izes ever dry bones, llere, with all his own
sorrowful experiences of human life lrosh in bin
menioiy, and surrounded with the solemn evidouces
ot the vani'v of all earthly things, in ma true
epirit ol madneu lie makes himself merry Wittl
things most grave and soiomn. A skull 'grins with
a gbattly smile npon him, and he in return umilos
upon it, supposes it to bave been tho skuil of a
lawyer, and asks what has become of its 'tenures'
and its 'tricks,' and wonders why it does not bilnj
an action tor navtcrv against tne ciown ior rnocK
iDg it about with a Cirty shovel. Here he utters
tLat terrible sarcasm against 'men roadeot money:'
" "Worn. Is not psrehment made of sheep skins?
"Ior. Ay. my eld and ot caives-ekins too.
"HoM They sre sheep and Calves which seek out
assurance lu ib at."
This seer? with the grave-diggers Is not merely
ricu m wit humor, philosophy, and niorali y, but it
po essts a pro ounu psvchological interest, and it Is
evident that 'Ham et' acted very unuaturasly under
the circuui.-tauce-, mi posing i. tin to be sano or
loiumng; or sui iios ng Lim to be insauo, seed In
the true spirit of his disease, very natutally. The
latter tupp sition is the more reasonable. "
The work, taken as a whole, is a valuable ad
dition to Shakespearian literature. It is issued
by llurd & Houghton, and forms an attractive
accession to any gentleman's library. It is for
sale by J. B. Lippiucott & Co., from whom we

Our humanitarians have at last awakened to
the fact that while they have been accustomed
to prate about ki miners to animals, they have
allowed the moBt horrid brutality to be prac
tised before their doors. The formation of socle
ties Is a great step in tbe right direction, and the
publication of such a work as that before us is
a powerful auxiliary to the extension of the
principles ot kindness to the brute creation.
Dr. Jennings hai given us a book with two
remaikably trood qualities. He fa vol's a sound
doctrine, and lays it before us in such a manner
as we can understand. As a general rule books
on horses are so illo jically arranged, that to any
but a jockey they have no earthly significance.
When, theietore, we say we can understand tho
present woik, we pay it a high compliment. It
is copiously illustrated, and in a manner which
leaves no douljt us to the meaning ot the
technical terms. As a text-book for all

A Brirf BiooBArnicAL Dictionary.
Not long since we noticed a "Biographical
Dictionary," issued by Charles Hole, revised by
William A. Wheeler, and reprinted by Hurd &
Hougbton. Aite speaking of the difficulties of
the task of issuing such a work, and how much
easier it was to find fault than i J originate a
compendium to universal as the one before us,
we had occasion to speak rather harshly of the
prctace to the work by Mr. Wheeler. We said:
"it Is a disagreeable task lor an American reviewer
to decide in tavor ol a foreigner, and in opposition
to his countrymen. let we must con less that a
mote unjust introduction than was signed by Mr.
W. A. Wheeler cannot be conceived. While in
general terms be talks about the 'great industry,
research, and general accuracy' of the original au
thor, yet he at once plunges into my Improvements,
corrections, and additions, lie state that he added
one hundred American names, and mentions a dozen
in alphabetical order. He states that he added some
Kuiopean names 'omitted,' aud g ves us ten, all of
winch could nave been omitted aud not missed. 'In
no' a lew n stances 1 have boon able to supply miss
mg dates; while ot dates errnnoously g.vcn, or
marked as doubtful, I bave coirccted or v. rilled a
stul larger number.' it will thus be aeeu
that Mr. Wheeler calls the reador's attention to tho
deleots, slights all the merits, and takes as much
credit to hiniseli as possible When it is remem
bered that Mr. Ho e compiled twonty thousand
names, into what insignificance does Mr. Wtiuelur's
bunured additional sink! Ot ul I tho dates filled up
and corrected, we bave no testimony except Mr.
Whce'ei's own words, as he gives us no means of
distinguishing the original from the revised
tinder the circumstances, we cannot but accuse
the met lean editor of arrogating to himself uudud
cn dit, aud detracting unjustly from the hard
earned honor oi Mr. Hole. To tho latter goutlo
man belongs by far the great or part, it to all the
credit ol the work. We will not sound Mr. Wheeler's
praises; be has done so too freely himself."
At this criticism Mr. Wheeler has seen fit to
take exception, and a copy ot his letter has been
furnished to tis through Messrs. Huri &
Iloushton:
"floxBURY, 6 Jnne, 1806
"The writtir (a trieud ol Mr. Hoie's,
rather than an enemy oi mine, I shall Judge) mis
repits nts not only the statements of my 'Introduc
tory Xsote,' bat the geneial tone ot it. 1 simply
told a straightforward story about my counooiion
with the work, and in doing so 1 was actuated, as X
expressly said, by a desire to do juotice to the Rng-l-su
emuon,' as wed as to the Auier cun public and
myseit. Mr. Hole was left to tell l is own story, in
his own I reiuce and tlioie was thorofore loss need
ol mv i av mg much about his share ol tne ork, lor
any one who read the two would see that the duel
mtrlt ol tne book was his, and not mine My object
was to 'limit my responsibility,' aud not to souud
my own piaises. Mow 1 think the Dictionary was
much improved in things small and in things great,
by the revision it received. Tho preface wlnoj I
have preserveo will atUst thai; and Miss
is another witness in tho cas., equally impartial
and competent. 1 thin that she ould say that the
book, as it now stands, was not only re v. Bed, but
largely 'augmented and improved.'
"Very truly ours,
"William A. Wheelbr."
Having thus allowed Mr. Wheeler to tell his
own tale, we would say a word. In regard to
our being a friend oi Mr. Hole, we have only to
say that we never heard of Mr. Hole until we saw
the American edition of his work; and as far as
Mr. Wheeler is concerned, we were predisposed
in his favor by his reputaiion as assislant editor
of "Webster's Dictionary." What we said was
founded entkely on what we esteemed the merits
of the case. We were told that a British work
was reprinted, but that it had been "augmented
and Improved;" that the original had "defects,''
"deficiencies, and Imperfections;" that a largo
niinibur of European names hnd been omitted
which we would naturally expect to Hnd in a
work of this Bort; that the list of American
names was "meagre;" tbe orthography had
"grave mistakes and some hardly less grievous
inconsistencies;" that in following the ori
ginal plan, the American editor had suffered
"mucu misgiving aud dissatisfaction." All
of these phases derogatory to the origina
tor of the volume are foand in Mr. Whee
ler's preface; and if space would admit, we
would give tho whole introductory note entire
And all the praise allotted is that it "shows
great industry, conscientious research, and ene
ral accuracy." Considering that the great body
ot the work, 18,000 out of the 20,000 names, at
least, must have been placed there by Mr. Hole,
are we unjust in expecting of Mr. Wheeler a
little more acknowledgment?
His improvements and corrections are not
de-ignuted, and if the writer desired really to
"limit his responsibility," would he not nave
had some mark for what he did and what he
kit-untouched? Does his preface limit the
responsibility m the least ? We cannot see that
it does, except ro fur as "Adams, Burr, Otis,"
and the dozen uunies he mentions, are con
cerned. We therelore must hold to our opinion
that Mr. Wheeler has arrogated to himself by
far too much credit. It was his place either io
have given a modest preface, saying that wncre
it was possible he had improed a good work,
or else to have, by some typographical sign,
designated which was his and which was Mr.
Hole's to have Jjiven the originator credit as
well as him sell for that part which was untouched.
We do not doubt that the work was much im
proved by the American reviser, yet the public
would have appreciated the whole better had
he not pressed his claims eo loudly
The Harpers have published in a . siugle
volume, choicely bound and admirably printed,
Goldwin Smith's six "Lectures on the Study ot
History," which were delivered in Oxford in
tho years 186'J, 1800, and 18G1; and another
lecture delivered by the same cultured gentle
man belore the New York Historical Society, in
1804, on "Ihe University of Oxford." The work
is one well calculated to attract aud merit the
attention of the student of history. The chapter
on the American Colonies throws a new light
on the subject ol our early political status,
while the whole work is fraught with deep
interest to readers. The following U among the
ci'iious theories which tne Prolessor promul

to have nothing in his writings which is not de

A gentleman of Washington is engaged on a
"Dictionary of Congress," which is to be a sort
of manual of all sorts ol information relative to
the present and past Congresses. He finds that
the total Dumber of Senators and Representa
tives who have had seats In Congress since the
adoption of the Constitution is 4012 the twenty
one free States having sent 2010 members and
the til teen slave States 1402 members. As to the
present Congress, of the 2G2 members in both
Houses, 70 were born in New England, 49 in
New York, while the remainder are about
equally divided between the Middle and Western
States, excepting two born in Ireland, one in
Scotland, one in Bavaria, and one in Canada
Of tho score of professions the law claims a
large majority, while printers and newspaper
men number no less than fourteen members.
work of this kind is not merely curious, but also
very useful. '
Mr. Henry Morley, the newly elected Pro
fessor of English Literature in University Col
lege, London, has published, in a neat little
volume, the substance of his theatrical eriticisms
in the columns of the Examiner, from 1851 to
I860 takitg for his title "The Journal of a
Playgoer." Mr. Morley's estimate of American
actors and aetresea will be of interest to some
of ovr readers.
In his notice f Itip Van Winkle, Mr. Morley is so
intent on exposing the wretched and tasteless varia
tions whioh the adaptor ol the pi ce has made tioni
tbe tale as Irving told it, that Mr. Jefferson's merits
aie not sufficiently appreciated; still it is allowed to
be doubtiul "whether, in such a drama, more couid
well be done by ti e best eflbrt of genius to represent
the 'Kip Van vV inkle' of whom A' ashington Irving
tells " Other Amer can plavors noticed in the "Jour
nal" are Mr. Murdoch, who appearod in London in
ibbG and wno is highly spoken ol. ''Vworous with
out (xcess, lively and uanly, his ac'ing abounds in
shicvid aud well-considered by-p ay." Of Mr. and
Mrs. Harney Willianis.'Mr. Moriev thinks thov exuel
in tarces suited to U-eir humor, and have tbe rare

Ihe "Jouina " begins with a notice, in Ancnst

i.o'es ol the voice just then, that she was to oe
credited wUb a power ot pathetic ex pression that
came oi ner own genius, ana not ot mere stage drill'
