THE ^ METHODIST; or, Incidents and Characters
from Life in' the Baltimore Conference. By
Miriam Fletcher, with an introduction by W.
Sirickdand, D. D. In 2 vols. Pp. 334, 360
,New York Derby t f• Jackson, Pittsburgh :
John S. Davison, 18.8
The early founders of Methodism in this coup
try were no common men; and their history is
one of great interest to the popular mind. In
labors they were abundant, and their trials were
many. These volumes are intended to reproduce
in an attractive form, some of their toils, suffer
ings, and successes, and to set before us the di- 7
versified charaOters of the people among whom
they labored. The 64 PloneerPreaohers," as they
here appear under the thin veil fiction, will be
gazed upon with wonder by many who will be
glad to be thus brought into companionship with
them. The authoress, who seems to be well ac
quainted with the theme she has selected, has
laid the scenes mostly in Virginia, with an oc
casional change to Baltimore, the ancient home
of Methodism.

Our readers will remember that we gave some
account of the objects aimed at by the author of
this work, in advance of its publication. The,
mechanical execution is all that could bedesired,
and the work itself gives evidence of great pains
taking, and of a 'habit orthorough investigation
On the part of , the author. And we feel that we
can best perform our duty to readers, by stat
ing briefly, but distinctly, thelgeneral views of the
author respecting ancient Mexican oivilization,
the conquest by Cortez, the character of the Span
ish historians of that period, and the ancient pia
tare writing copied into the volutnes. of Lord
Kingsborongh ; and in support of which he brings
forward a vast amount of evidence, and great
power in sifting testimony. He takes the'
ground that the Aztec's were directly of Califor
nian origin, that is, descended from the Indians
on the Pacific side of America ; that their archi
tecture was Phcenician in its 'character, eo far as
t bad any character at all ; that their drese, as
described by the Spanish historians, was Moorish,
instead of the real Indian dress; that the descrip
tions of theirreligion and worship, by the same
authors, are altogether unreliable; that the
conflicts of Cortez with the natives were not great
battles, but simply Indian skirmishes; that the
lakes so graphically described by Mr. Prescott,
bad no existence, as is shown by Humboldt and
the United States army survey ; that the picture
writings of which so much has been said, had no
certain existence ; and in short, that the Aztec
civilization of the Spanish historians was not
Rattan- Aztec, but Roman-Aztec; and that a per
sonal inspection of the country, and a full ac
quaintance with Indian character, would have
saved Mr. Prescott from many of the errors into
which he has fallen. This Int:pixy into the his
tory of ancient Mexico, will, be carefully read by
all inteiested in the subject of historical investi
gation; and we can promisethe readers abundant
exercise for sal their thinking powers, while the
clear paper andi distinct , 'type will please their
eyes.

This is by far the most valuable contribution to
the literature of our age since the appearance of
HoWson & Oonibeire's great work on the Apos
tle Paul. The latter was profoundly Obssical,
as well as Scriptitriti in its tharacter ; surpritting,
the reader as nauell'hy the minuteness of the in
formation-, the wondrous range of reading, the
facility in ushig the stores of',Greek and Roman
lore which the authors displayed, s by the glow
ing style and ,deeply'emotional feeling which en
chained the student and carried;him onward in
the study of that ;magnificent biography. This
book is eminently an English one, and to every
lover of History, Biography, Antiquities, Poetry,
and Literature generally, it will present irresist
able attractions. The subject is a great one;
but, lofty though the theme may be, the perform
ance would be worthless unless the hand of a
master were visible in the work.
In this first volume, the author has shown that
due diligence has been devoted to the collection
of materials. The records of parishes of the
Herald's College, of the Colleges of Oxford and
Cambridge, and the Universitiel, have been laid
under contribution. The State Piper Office, the
writings of contemporaries, former biographies
and editions of his works, and above all, that de
pository of universal literature and storehouse of
knowledge, the British Museum, have been rig
orously searched for any fact or hint that could
be worked up into the materials which are now
incorporated into this delighthil Historical Por
traiture. The work is not a mere re-hash, by a
ready laterateur, of the contents of former lives.
It is a thoroughly digested and admirably elabo
rated treatise, 'whiob, while it records the life of
Milton, depicts - him as surrounded by the lights
of his age, both at home and abroad ; and the
skill of the artist . is delightfully displayed in
preserving the subject of his narrative as the
centre around which the other figures are made
to revolve, yet they are also so faithfully por
trayedthat the.vrork, in one sense, is a biography
of: them all. Let our readers, then, reflect or
the period when Milton lived, and wrote, and'
sung; let them think of the great subjects which
engaged the attention of the strong thinkers and
actors in the daYs of Charles 1., the Common
wealth, and Charles IL; let them meditate on the
questions connected with tyranny and civil
liberty that then arose for solution, arid that,'
after debate in. Parliaments and Convocations,
were often handed over to the strong-handed s ari
the tented field; let them think of the Seldens, ,
the Ihroptiens, the Lt:nds,• and the 'StraifOrds,
the masters of Assembli6s who carried , men after ,
them. by , thty, supremacy- of -their.- learning, the )
power of their , oratory, and, the force .of their
wills ; let them' tneditate t on the qtteitiniur which
agitated the Church in England, in Scotland, and
Ireland, which Jed to . overthrow of 'existing,
establishments, and changed the. condition of
society in the land ,•' and"when we tell him 'that the
men of mind and of mark who were thus engaged
:in Milton's day, all have a place in this Valhalla,
'where fitting honor is ascribed 'to theM, they will
have some conception Of the greatness of the
Work 'Which Professor Masson has undertaken,_
and which he 'is 'evidently qualified to" carry
forward to an honorable completion. But Milton's
name and- fame were Continental, as well as .
English, and accordingly the reader is introduced
to the lights Of the seventeenth century 'who in ,
Germany, in France, and in Italy, were then
shining so resplendently. The imPerialism of

This is a new editiOn•of the popular lectures of
Prof. Mitchell, delivered some years ago, and
which will be read with'- renewed interest now;
since public attention has been so generally
awakened to the claims of Astronomical Science,
by the lectures of the author of this work, during
the put Winter, in New York and Philadelphia.,
Prof. Mitchell has the rare quality of being an
original investigator, and at the Sallie time, able ,
to disentangle the science of all its technicalities,
so as to present its results in a; language under
stood by all. These lectures give a history of
astronomical discovery, a statement of the laws
of the heavenly bodies, of the planets discovered
from time to time, of the motions and revolutions
of the fixed state, and of the unexplored field
that lies beyond. The author is an enthusiastic
in his vocation, employs. most eloquent lapguage,
and subordinates all his acquisitions and all the
redultd of science to the high' antiority of 'God,
'whose personality, providence, and power, he sees
everywhere.

If Milton had not written "Paradlie
Lost," his 4 ' Paradise Regained" would have
made him the greatest of all modern poets.
And if John Bunyan had not written the "
grim's Progress," his " Dialogues of Devfis"
:would have proved him the greatest of unin

contend, withno small show of reason, that the
latter exhibits C,deeperrepirittial Osight, 'and a
more thoroughly disciplined Christian experience
than the former: • These lectures are intended to
bring out the Scriptural truths and spiritual, al.

their modified or amended form, the law of
blood- avenges:nerd, the lex trdionis, the' law
relating to divetce, and that respecting
polygamy, were introduced into thnjudicial
code, not because they were approved by
the lawgiver, but becinse of the birdness of
that people's hearts: They were so obsti
nately attached to their 'ancient usages, so
bent on copying the laws and customs of
their neighbers, that - laws utterly Pr4bib

5-10. It seems to require of a man, in
certain specified circumstanees, to marry his
sister-in-Taw.' The question is, did it re
---
quire this niarriagedidit imply the Divine
approbation of such marriage—or did it only
enjoin upon the Jewish magistrate to recog
nize it as lawful, and avail himself of it to
prevent the alienation of estates from the
family and tribe to which they belonged?
The marriage in question is expressly
prohibited in -Lev. xviii : 16. And that,
this last belongs to the moral 'cede, is Capa
ble, It is believed, of clear proof. But for
the present, at least, it •shall betaken for
granted. If, then, the law under considera
tion made it right and obligatory on the
Jew in the cirownstances'supposed, to marry
his sister-in-law, it was of the nature of a
dispensation. That is to say, the judicial
law set aside or dispensed with the claims
of the moral law, in this particular case,
and that to prevent estates from being
alienated: - Aare the extinction' of families,
it could' prevent that only by, a fiction of
law. The eldest son of this marriage was
not, in fact, the' son 'of the-deceased,• and
could not preserve his family:from . extinc
tion. , It was' already extinct, and Worm the
:inheritance of the estate-alone, which the
levirate law_cowlitaffeet. And now is there
not •a- istiong - 'antetederit' pfeinimption' that
to accomplish:suck purpdse ' the elands of
the moral ; law wo,uld:.not be - act ; aside ?
Especially when we consider .that,. without a
very extraordinary providence, it could only
very Imitially oanisFar the prirpolm.' 'For
what would come: of 'the estates of those
who-:died without• having been l married?
And if, as Turretine maintains, the lei' did
not authorize _a.- married .marr to -take his
'brother's. Widow, What would come of the
estate -of a married man who-died childless,
and, mho bad no unmarried brother, or other
near kinsman who was willing to marry
his widow ? Theselfonsiderationtelead me to
the conclusion, that there was some 'other
reason for thaincorporation of the livirate law
into the judicial code, and that the preven
tion of estates from alienation. was merely
incidental.
But, it may be said, the language of this law
isimperative " The ‘Wife of the dead'shull
not marry -without unto a stranger ; her
husband's brother shall go in unto her."
It Would - undoubtedly'be fair to Conclude
that this law'made the Marriage in' question'
obligatory; if the levirtzte law were "of
Moses," if it had originated`with But
it maa.not so. r There !was, a. usage, having
the force eflaw, Which required the mar-
Hoge of i &Ceased 'brother s Widow, long
before Moses. :And if we look into the
origin of this usage, we shall see reason ; to
hesitate before interpreting this apparently
imperative language, as though it 'bound
upon the conscience of the Jew:whose mar
ried brother -had died childless, what it `did
require, the • magistrate to permit. If the
reader Will turn to the history of jininh's
family, recorded-Uen, - xxxviiiiibe - will see
reason ti cent:dude, that the usage in ques
tion briginated am - taw - the' Cantianitee, with
whom Judah had associated himself, and
under, whose influence he - had fallen. It
appears . to• hive been a - law br custom; firmly
established among them. And the con
science of Judah was so perVerted by his
intercourse with them, that he verily thought
he was doing God service by complying
With this Canaanitish law. Hence he con
demns his delay in marrying his youngest
and only surviving son to Tamer. " She
hath been more righteoutu than ; because
that I gave her' not to Shiloh, my son."
As most, if not all, the other sons of Jacob,
Joseph only excepted, married women of
Canaan, there is every reason to believe
that they, no less than Judah, adopted the
views, sentiments, and customs of the Ca
naanites, op this and many other subjects,
and that they and their posterity, daring
their sojourn in Egypt, observed theta) Cus
toms, and were governed by them as a .kind
of common law. This was no doubt the
state of, things when the. judicial law was
to be given. Custom, than which there is
no greater tyrant, required, in certain cir
cumstances, that a
,man should marry his
sisterin-law. Some disposition mast be
•
Made of this law in the judicial code; it
could not .be passed in silence; and hence
its introduction in a Modified form into that
code. • ,
This view of the subject will:be confirmed
by a careful examination of, the penalty an
nexe/ to the law in Anestiom The reader
is requested to turn to . the penalty (Dent.
xxv : and ask himself,. can this. be
'intended 813 the' penalty fcv Wilful - neglect
of duty—for a . -deliberate 'refusal to comply
with the will of God ? Henry remarks in
relation to it : "If he like her not, he is at
liberty to refuse her, which some think was
not permitted in this case, before this law of
Moses:" Does (not the" 1)1140 above-re
ferred to, appear much more like a provision
to enable a conscientious man to eseape from
the tyranny of a,perverted public) sentiment
and usage, than an expression of Divine dis
approbation- for wilful 'negleet of: duty.'? If
'the words, " her husband's brother, shall go
in expreesd the Divine"approba=
,tion of this usage, and made it ebligatory on
the nonsciende of every tlienircum
'stances suppose - 4 in' the law, to marry his
: brother's 'widow, is it not marvellous' that
such a penalty should~ be prescribed for an
.obstinate refusal to obey the. Divine will.?
These considerations, . it., seems to me,
warrant the conclusion, - that the levirate
law, as it lirlOrind 'in the . ju/kiial code,
was intendsdwimplY to" instruct the magic
{ trate not, to , interfere 'violently with the
pre
;}indices of the , people in favor of this Ca

Who complied with it to the judgment of
God When the judicial law says of a man
who has put away his wife, he may marry
another woman, and of the woman so put
,a,Way, she me'y become the wife of another
man, it is not to be understood as though
God did not "hate putting away," and would
not call those who' were' guilty of it, to ac
count to him for it, but only that they were not
tb be called to actcount for it in the court of the
magistrate, So it is here; no attempt was
'to be made by the magistrate to abolish this
ancient usage. He was, on the other hand, to
employ it in preventing estates from passing !
ent,of the family and tribe to which they
belonged. But when - an individual was i
placed in, the circumstances supposed, he
was bound to submit his conscience to that
law which was addressed to himself :I
""
Thoi shalt not approaeh unto the wife of
thy brother." The rule of government and
-judicature, did not supersede or dispense
with the rule of conscience.
To all that has been said about the im
possibility of suppressing by civil laws those
evils of phi& 1 have spoken, it may be ob
jected, that all' things 'are possible with God;•
that hoWeverWtiable human legislators 'may
be to secure the execution of laws such as
they approve or prefer, the'DloSt High could
have put it into the hearts of 'those who
were entrusted with the administration and
execution of his laws, to be faithful. And
he could have armed them with the power to '
execute laws tolerating no evil, however in
*eterate the prejudices of the people, and
liewever obstinate their - attachment to their
'ancient usages; and the usages of their
neighbors. All this.is doubtless true. And
it is equally true that he could have prevent
ed that:revolution by which the republic that
he had established, was changed for a mon
archy! lint when all the elders of Israel
said to Samuel, Ig Make us a king to judge
us like all the nations," the prophet was told
to'"hettren unto the voice of the people in
all that they say unto thee: for they have
not rejected .thee, but they have rejected me,
that I should not reign over them." The
Change was displeasing to him; it was sought
from a desire to be like the other nations,
and , Was a- sinful rejection of him as their
king. And yet it was not only foreseen, and
laws'revealed by Moses to regulate and con
trol it,' but it was employed in bringing
about the purposes and promises of God to
that people, just ad the levirate law was em
ployed in preventing estates from being al
ienated. If lam asked why he chose to.
tolerate these. evils, rather than- suppress
them, My answer is preCisely the same that
it. wafild :be, if I am asked, why does he, in
his providential government of the .world,
permit Sin 7 Ido not knots , . It would be
more difficult to account for the toleration of
sin, in the political government of the . Jews,:
than inthe providential government of the
world:
To sum up and conclude this discussion,
the principle" has, I think, been established,
that the circumstances in which the judi
cial laiiyits, given, and the purposes, which
it was intended to answer, were such, that'
the toleration, of old usages, in that law, and,
the 'placing them under legal restraints and
regulitioni, Ages not ni3cessarily4 prove that
God appro. - ire& those usages, or that they
were - not condemned by , that law under
whieh'liehad placednthe Whole raciof man.
To settleibe 'question" whether any act 4)r.
cause of action is right or wrong, we Must
have resource : to other data than the civil
laws'of the Jews. Ihad intended to point
out the bearing of this principle on certain
questions of morals, or, at least, on the mode
of - if - gain - exit sometimes employed in de
termining . certain questions of morals that
are agitated in the present day. But lest I
should weary the patience of the editors
and 'readers of -the Banner, I forbear, and

SYRUP OF THE ETPOPHOSPHITES,
Composed of the Hypophosphites of Lime
Soda, Potassa, and Iron.
These remedies were - brought to notice by Dr. John
Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of 'Dublin, and
have attracted much attentiort, from the medical profession.
To give a general idea , of their irtion, we make the follow
ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer "On theft() "athlete
Cause and Specific Remedy'. of Tuberculosis," read before
the Academy of Medicine, Paris, July, 1857. Says - Mr. C.:—
"The total number of cases of Phtbisis treated byinte
amounts to thirty-ilve. All were either in the second or
third stages of. the complaint; that is, they bad either
softened tubercles or cavities in the lungs of these, nine
recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease dig!. •
appearing altogether, in eight out of that number ; eleven
improved considerably, and. fourteen died. The results
will be found to, justify the following conclusions:
"The proxiMate cause, or at all events an eiewittial con
dition: of the tubercular .diathesis, is the decrease in the
system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni
zable state.
"The specific remedy of the disease consists in the ueeof
a prepsration of phosphorus, uniting ; the two conditions,
being in such a state that it may be direali assimilated,
and at the same tithe at the lowest possible degree of oxy
dation. ,
"The effects of these salts upon the tubercular diathesis
is immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease dis
k:mewing vita a repidity•which is really marrelotts. If
the, Pathological depesitprodficed by the dyscr.scy is of re.

not proceed too rapidly t tley tubercles are reabsorbedend
disappear. When the 'sofiiidiglias attained a certain' "de
gree, it sometimes. continur in spits of thetreattrient ; and
the lane of the disease then depends upon an anatomical
condition of the local lesion, on its extent, and upon the
existence or non-existence of complications. have made
numerous' attempts to modify the local condition of the
hangs by the inhalation- of different substances, but have
never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what.
was to be attributedto the speciffc treatment. The. 'typo-,
phospbitea ore certain prophyLactica against tubercular
'The physiological effects show these preparations to
have a two-fold action; on the one hand they increase the
prineiple, whatever that' may be, .which constitutes ner
vous force, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the
Fiveral functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition.
Tbay seem to possess, in the highest degree, Ali the therp
pautical properties formerly attributed by different ob
servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the. danger
which attends the use of that eubstance. The different
priparations of Ilypophosphorne Acid will nadOubtedly
occupy one of the meat important places in the Mated&
Medico."
The success of this treatment tieing so much in advance
of: nithing before attained in - the - minag.ement - of this
heretofore almost incurable. disease,
calls for a thorough
testing of these reMedies. With thiiview, the combination
here offered in the form of Syrup has been made. ' '
" The beneficial effects of these Salts are not _limited to
Consumption alone • they are appropriate remedies in a
large chess of affections resulting 'from loss of nervous
force, Dyspepsia, Scrofula, debilitated conditions of Females,
lack of vital action in Children, and where the 0880011 a
system is defective: Understanding the chemical nature
of these Salts, physicians will be enabled to use them in a
large clue of diseases where theY seem to be indicated.
. We have every advantage in manufacturing these arti

DR. CHURCHILL'S DISCOVERY !
Winehesterie Genuine Preparation of Dr. J. P.
Churehdl'a Compound of the .
HYPOPHOSPHITES
•
• OF ra-Av SODA, AND POTASH.
A SMOOT(' REMEDY FOR THE TREATMENT OP
CONSUNPPION.
The great Ohemico-Medical Discovery of the celebrated
Dr. J. F. Churchill, of Parte, first made known by him to
the , French Academy of Medicine about two years ap,
marks a new and important Era in the annals of Medical
Science.
• Now, for the lint time in the'history of the we'll, has a
REBEISDI been found that surely strikes at the very founda
tion of Pulmonary 'Disease, and - by restoring the deficient
chemical elements of the blood, increases the principle
which constitutes nervous or vital force, invigorates the
untritiee functione, and thus net only mums, but also PRE.
yawn, the development of this hitherto most fatal Scourge
of the human race.
*if - CAUTION TO ,THM PUBLIC. •iiiM

- Various preparations are already in the market, purport.
ing to be "based on Dr. Churchill's _discovery against whi c h
we solemnly Caution both the profession and the public.
To remove all doubts in regard to the chemical purity of
ray'preparation of llypophospldtes, I beg the attention of
the public and the professiou to the following
TUTDIONT OP D 011/LTOM:
"I have carefully analyzed samples of the Hypophospbites
Of Lime, Sods„, and Potash from which Mr. d. Winchester
manulactrares Dr. Churchill's Compound Solution of the
Hypophosphitee, and SO them` to be properly made aid
chemically pure. Having had many opportunities of test
ins the uniform parity of the articles which he uses in
compounding this new remedy for consumption, and haring
a personal knowledge of his honesty and integrity, I feel
'that I can ass"re the Profession and the Public that this
Preparation of the Hypoyhosphltes can be relied on.
"Ne, York, February

M.D.,
Chemist'
And now, to further caution the public against immure
'and -unreliable preparations claiming to be founded on Dr,
Churobill'a discovery, I quote an extract from a letter pub-
Itched by him, dated the 24th of April, 1868:
nummoter OP Mt. Catateans
" To be used with effect, the Hypophosphites must be per ,
featly pure; otherwise they may, in some eases, appear alto
gether inert, or even injurious. In five cases out of six, the
Salts usually sold as pure in Paris ' under the name of
Hypepliosphites, are totally unfit for use. * *
"I use no other treatment of any kind, unless required
by thg existence of Complications, such as intercorrent
fiemination of the lungs, diarrhea, cardiac disease, Sc."
The'use of the HypophospiteS shows these preparations to
have a two-fold and specific action. On the one hand, they
increase the principle, whatever that may be; which roust':
tutecnervms force; and, on the other, they are the most
poWerfelblood generating agents, far superior to any hith
erto known
The physiological effects of their use are shown by an in.
crease of nervous power, sometimes even from the first day
of their administration;together - with: an unusual feeling
'of comfort and strength. The appetite increases, often in
lan extraordinary manner. The evacuations become more
regular and more abundant the perspiration, if any bare
existed, cease, sleep becomes ealm'and profound. All the
general symptoms disappear"with a rapidity which Weeny
