Apple' ion It Co. Philadelphia Agent: George Uebbio, No. 730 SJWO" Strict. For sale by (mbsoription only. Daniel Webntor died on the 24th of Ootober, 152, and within less than ten years from that j lime the crcat national crisis that he foresaw i and endearored to avert overtook the nation, and with the firing of the first gun upon Fort Pointer a new era was inaugurated. The four years of civil war as effectually divided the times of Webster, Clay, and Calhoun from to-day as if a century had intervened. Those men are as much historical figures as Wash ington, Adams, and Jefferson; and it would mem at the first glance that the present is as good a time as any for giving to the world a standard biography of the great orator and statesman who for bo many years hold a fore most place in the Senate, and who enjoyed a personal popularity not surpassed by any public man of his times. The ideas on the slavery question, however, have changed so radically Hince the Rebellion, and the feelings engendered by the great conflict are so strong, that it is doubtful whether the American people are yet in a fit frame of mind to review with judicial impartiality the political career of such a man as Daniel Webster. We read the story of the great anti-slavery strug gle by the lurid light of an overwhelming national calamity, and there is a strong dis position in some quarters to deal harshly with the memories of statesmen like Daninl Webster, who labored to avert the evil day that they clearly saw was coming on, instead of advancing to meet it. To ns the various compromises with the pro-slavery party appear to have been at once cowardly and impolitic. Whether the record will be so read a hundred years hence is a question. The anti-slavery faction was weak and unpopular, and the slave-owners strong, arrogant, and with the law upon their sido. Time was required for the development of public opinion in the direction of freedom, and it was reserved for the pro-slavery men to precipitate the conflict that resulted in their destruction. Among the great changes wrought by the Rebellion, none is more remarkable than the loss of prestige sustained by Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. Before the war their names were cited ou every occasion, and were always received with shouts of applause: now they are seldom mentioned, and seldom even thought of. Their fame has been obscured by the mighty events and the new men that have come before the public since their day; and with regard ta Mr. Webster, especiidly, there is a strong disposition to disparage his genius and to represent him as vain, shallow, and insincere. We are convinced that such a view as this of Mr. Webster's character is unfair, and that the time will come when his car?er as a statesman will receive impartial judgment at hands of the American people, wajont undue laudation and without prejudiced disparagement. Before the lie bcllion he was a i7ort of demi-god, and since Jhen he has boen as .harshly depreciated as ho waS previously too higWy exalted. With all his faults, he was a gftt man, a great states man, and . an orator that ? entitled to rank with the greatest the world has produced. Mr. George Tioknor Curtis is pticularly fitted for the position of biographer of" Jr Vester. He is the last of his literary execu tors, and ho has been able to command a muss of materials such as would not be accessible to any other writer. The volume before ns comes down to 1838, when the question of the annexation of Texas was beginning to bo a oorinna contention. It covers the most active and interesting period of tis career, when he was a commanding figure in j the Senate, and when he did more thau at any subsequent period to establish the repu tation that made him, next to Henry Clay, the most popular man in the country. Mr. Curtis luW executed his task with discretion, and with an evident desire to bo as impartial as possible. The work is illustrated by a num ber of interesting letters and documents ' never before published, and it is valuable not only as the most perfect biography of Mr. "Webster yet written, but as giving at least a jartial inside view of our national politics during the period when the anti-slavery struggle was becoming the all-ubsorbing topic. The book is handsomely printed aud bound, and it is embellished with a tine steel portrait of Mr. Webster, from the portrait by Healy, and with a number of vignette wood-cuts. AtJTOr.HXlllAI'H V AN1 PkimONAI. llUJOl. I. NOTION'S of John B. Gorun. Published by II. C. Johnson. Sold by subscription only. Mr. Gough is a born orator, and ho is con- setjueutly one of the most popular lecturers now before the public, lie has the rare faculty of securing the sympathies and atten tion of his audience, and of holding them spell-bound by his manner rather than by his matter. Mr. Cough's discourses are often extremely trivial in subject when they couie to be read by the, sober light of criticism aud when away from the fascination of his pre sence. They are made up of well-nied mate rials, and display but little originality in style or arrangement. When he is speaking, how ever, all this U forgotten, and the public lis tens to the often-told anecdotes and jokos with as much .est us if they were bran-new coinages of the lecturer's brain. As might be expected, the autobiography of Mr. lough loses much of the fascination of his spoken efforts, and the actual events of his life are not in themselves suhu iontly interesting or important to fill up the bulky volume of 6.ra pages before us. the book is, therefore, largely composed of padding, which, however, will ie no objection to tne majority oi readers into whose hands it will fall. Mr. Gough tells the story of his life iu a straightforward manner, and he tells it well. He makes no great pretensions to literary stylo, and that is well also. The book is one that will ho road with interest by many who are anxious to Itbow what the great teuiperauoe orator has to say for himself, aud it will have a positive volno as an encouragement to thoto who are struggling in life against temptation aud ad versity. The autobiography is an amplifica tion of a work written twenty-five years ago, and it covers tho quarter of a ceutury that has elapsed since then. It is illustrated with an excellent steel-plate portrait of Mr. Gough, and a, nnniber of wood-cuts. From A. II. Hubbard, No. 400 Chesnnt street, we have reocivod "Bible Lyrics," by Eev. John A. Murray. This is a series of metrical versions of those portions of the Old and New Testaments that appear to be par ticularly suited for such treatment. The au thor has endeavored as far as possible to pre serve the exact language of the Scriptures, and he has succeeded in a majority of in stances in giving very clever adaptations, many of whih appear to bo admirably suited for congregational hymns. The most ambi tious, and the least successful, feature of the book is an attempt to cast the Book of Job into a dramatic form. It is evident that Mr. Murray has no very clear idea of what a drama roally is, and hi& versifications of the speeches of Job and his friends fall very far short of the simple grandeur of the original. There is much that is commonplace in the other portions of the work, but the lyrics are gene rally spirited, and the work is one that more fully represents the poetry of tho Bible than any that has hitherto been published. It is the kind of a book that thousands of readers will wish to possess, and it is admirably adapted for a holiday gift. The work is hand Bonicly printed and bound in elegant style, and it is illustrated with a number of Doro's Bible designs, copied by Osborn's photo lithographic process. For sale only by sub scription. From Claxton, Ilemson &, IlafTelfinger we have received "Twisted Threads," by Mrs. M. 1). Nauman. This is a new novel by the author of "Sidney Elliott," published about a year ago. It shows considerable improve ment over that work, and it is a pleasantly written story of life and manners, in a vein that, if not very original, is at least attractive and healthy. The same house sends us "Nancy's Christ mas," an interesting story for children, with a good moral to it. Claxton, llemsen &, Haft'elfingcr also send us "Historical Sketches of the ltoign of George Second," by Mrs. Oliphant. Fub lished by Little & Gay. These sketches were originally published in Blackwood's Maga zine and in lAtU U'i Lining Age, whore they attracted much attention. They are graphic word-pictures that give us a view of English society at a most interesting period, and they are well worthy of a perusal. Sketches are given of Queen Caroline, Sir Robert Wal pole, Lord Chesterfield, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Alexander Pope, The Young Cheva lier, John Wesley, Commodore Anson, Bishop Berkley, Samuel Richardson, David Hume, and William Hogortn. From Turner Brothers & Co. we have received Our Buy' and OirW Magazine for December 18. Our ik7ioolda Visitor for January, published by Danghaday & Bechor, No. 424 Walnut street, commencos the fourteenth volume. The contents are up to tho usual standard of excellence. The publishers offer a handsome steel engraving, entitled "Help Me Up," to subscribers for the year 1870. Jhmorcst'n Monthly tor January hasa steel plate portrait of Mr. and Madame Demorest; fashion plntes and patterns, with directions for all kinds 61 fancy work, The literary contents present an entortaininc vurlelv cf reading matter tht will please the patrons of the magazine J Tiift November part of the Engineering Mining Journal, published by Western it Co., New York, gives an interesting and valuable series of articles on engineering sub jects, with descriptions of some of the recent and most important inventions. This peri odical contains a vast amount of information, and it is well deserving of the esteem in which it is hold by practical and scientific men. TRUE EPISCOPACY. To the liditor of Ths Evening Telegraph. "Episcopacy set forth by the Apostles of Christ, under the guidance of tlio Holy Spirit of Truth. Is to be acknowledged 'the Ordinance of iod.' " Such is the title of :i sermon preached by the Rev. Daniel WnBhlmrn before ihe Schuylkill and I.chl"H Convocation, and published at their rciieHt. The subject docs not admit of much novelty of treatment. The truth of tho propo sition can be demonstrated only by proof drawn out of '-Holy Scripture aud undent authors." We do not remember to have seen a more concise and lucid collation uml use of the principal testimonies that bear on this question. While the ncriuon is thoroughly outspoken on what the reverend author believes (and proves It too) to have been the primitive structure of the Church of Christ, it Is truly charitable and catholic in Its spirit towards those who have de parted from the Apostles' fellowship. The con clusion of the discourse it is easier for believers In ministerial purity to scoff at than it is to re fute.
