By Charles Rollin. Translated from the French. Abridged by William H. Wyckoff, L. L. D. late Classical Principal of the Collegiate &hoof; Complete in one volume. Pp. 660. New York: Sheldon Co. Pittsburgh : Aka S. Davison. 1869. Rollin's Ancient History" hasoirig b et popular ; nor has anything yet 'tippiaired at all worthy to take its place. Its faithfulness, accuracy, and simplicity, are unexcelled. Rutile great bulk precludes it from that extensive circu lation and general study to which its merits enti tle it. So that an abridgment carefully prepared for the use of institutions of learning, and for Ake purposes of the general reader, must be warmly welcomed. The abridgment now before us is the work of an experienced teacher, who has taken the utmost care to preserve the continuity of the narrative in the language of the author, while excluding abstruse reasonings upon forms of goy- . ernment, citations from many authors, unimpor tant incidents, fabulous narratives, sad irrelevant matter of every description. The design has been well executed, and this book will prove a valuable addition to many libraries; where the larger work would be in a great measure useless, owing to its vast size and the worthless material with which it is in many places cumbered.

Pp. 114. New York : Sheldon Co. Pittsburgh :John' 13 Pdviton. 1859; This is a well considered, elaborate, and a, the same time, popular effort to displace the English mode of pronouncing - Latin that has t we are sorry to say, become so common, and to substitute thr German for the Engiiiit'veWel sounds, which most certainly very near ,the originiti t ,Roman, method of pronouncing Lek :The adoption of the method here recommended, would do, much to destroy the bungling ., man ner in which, the Latin language is now too generally read in this country.

Ili' R. .CIiVii.GB.ILL , S . =Jr. SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION. SYRUP OF THE kirYPOPHOSPHITES, .ConiHposed :of the Hypophosphites of Lime Soda, Potassa, and iron. . ,These remedies were brought to notice by Dr. John Francis Churebill, an eminent physician of Dublin, Clll.l have attracted much attention from the medical profession. To give a general idea of their action, we make the follow• ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Prokimate Cause and Specific Remedy of Tuberculosis," read before the academy•of Medicine, Paris, July, 1857. Says Dr. C.:— " The total number of cases of Phthisis treated by me amounts to thirty-five. 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 csimpletely, the physical signs of the disease die. appearing altogether in eight out of that number; eleven improved considerably, and fourteen died, The results will be found 10 justify the following conclusions: "The proximate cause, or at all events an essential dition of the tubercular diathesis. is the decresse.in the system of the phcephorus which it contains in an oxygen' sable state. "The specific remedy of the disease consists in the wee a preparation of Phosphorus, uniting the two conditions being in snob a state that it may be directly assimilated and at the same time 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 die ' appearing with a rapidity which is really marvelous. If the pathological deposit produced by the dyscracy is of re cent formation, if softening "has only just set in, and does not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are reabsorbed and disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and the issue 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. I have made numerous, attempts to modify the local condition of the lungs by the inhalation of different substances, but have never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what was to be attributed to the specific treatment The Hypo phosphites • are certain prophylactics against tubercular disease. "The phyriological effects show these preparations to have a two-fold action; on the one hand they increase the principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes nee• vow force; and on the other, they elevate the tone of th e several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition. They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the them• pentical properties formerly attributed by different oh servers to_ phosphorus itself, without any of the danger which' attends the nee of that substance. The different preparations of Hypophospnorns Acid will undoubtedly occupy one of the meet important places in the Materia Medina." • The success of this treatment being so much in advance of anything before attained in the management of this heretofore almost incurable - disease, calls for a thorough testing of them remedies. With this view, thecombloation here offered in the form of Syrup baa been made ' The beneficial effects of these Salts tire not limited to Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies in a large class of affections result:sn t from loss of nervous force, Dyepepaia, a cm e.* dab I led conditions of Females, lack of vital action in Ten, and where the ossenne system in defective- nderetanding the chemical nature of.these Salts, physicians will be enabled V) use them in a large class of diseases where they seem to be indicated. • We have every advantage in manufacturing these arti cles.
