Nor is thy place 'mid thy country's host, Where the war-steed champs the rein— Where waving plumes aro like soa-foam tost, And the turf wears a gory stein. Not these I not these I are thy glorious dower! But a Mier gift is thine ; When the proud have fallen in triumph's hour, And the red blood flowed like wine, To wipe the dew from the clammy brow— To raise the drooping head— TO cool the parched lips fevered glow, And to smooth down the lowly bed ! Not thine I not thine ! is the towering height, Where ambition makes his throne— The timid dove wings not her flight Where the eagle soars alone—• But in the hall, and in the. bower, And by the humblest hearth, Man feels the charm, and owns the power That binds him still to earth. Yes, these are thine ! and who can say His is a brighter doom, Who wins fame's gory wreath of bay, Round an aching brow to bloom ? 0 ! to watohleatli'S depiirt; To soothe every pang of woe, And to whisper hope to the fainting heart, Is the proudest meed below! .Nittrart, - ,gotii6,.: AA OUTTASS OF THE NEOESSABY LAWS . 07 THounur ; A Treatise on Pure and Applied Logic. By William Thommn, D. D., Provost of the Queen's College, Oxford. From the Fourth Londory-Bdition. 'pp. 3464 Cambridge; John- ; Bartlett, Bookseller to the University. 1860. This is the most, profoundly scientific), work which hai been published in this country' on the department of Reasoning, slime the appear t ance of Mill's celebrated treatise. In many re spects it is vastly ~preferable either to the compend of Whately, or to the 'larger 'and more pretensions volume of Mill. It is as small as Whatley's book,, but much more analytic, thorough, and penetrating, going,down as - it does to the foundation principles on which all reason ing is paled ; while on the other hand it is an actual Text Book, and fitted for the - exercises of the class-room, .over which, in the course of a session, the students of a Collegiate, Class should be carried, instead of being an extensive essay, on Metaphysics, as in the work of Mill. It is customary with smatterers in Classics, and dabblers in Science, to speak disparagingly of Ox ford, and of the literary training of that vener able place. Were we'not able to appeal in refu tation of the implied charge of ignorance and in efficiency which isthus made, to the fact that has been developed by the government arrangements for the reception of candidates for office,, from all the Colleges and the Universities of theßmpire, in consequence of which the relative practical value of their respective system has been tested, and which has placed Oxford at the head, an ex amination of this book would satisfy tiny intelli gent mind, that the intellectual training of Queen's College, at least, must be of the most exalted or der. The students who ire drilled into 'a full and comprehensive understinding of logic as treated of In this Text Book, and of the works, both ancient and modern, to which 'reference is made, must be thorough masters of the science. In this respect they enjoy a decided advantage over the students of the Scottish Colleges. In Oxford and in Trinity College, ' Dublin, a Text Book is made the basis of instruction. This book must be mastered ; and from the Twit Book, the student is carried out by the Jecturer over all the field of the particular science'; and thus having, by the book, become accurate in his views, he is, by the addition of the lectures, ex aminatione, essays,. and additional works of ref erence, made extensively acquainted with the whole range of which be is now able to compre hend the relation of its separate parts. As a Text Book this work is invaluable. We earnestly wish that the Presidents of our Celleges and the Professors who have °barge of this de partment of education, would order this
