Wm. Roscher, of Göttingen, has published one volume of his 'Olio, or Contributions to the History of the Historical Art,' embracing the Life, Writings and Times of Thucydides. This will be followed by a second treatise of Herodotus and Xenophon, and a third on the great Roman Historians. This work must be of great value to classical scholars. Plato's Staat übersetzt von K. Schneider, (Plato's Republic, translated by K. Schneider,) is spoken of in the highest terms.Prof. W. A. Becker's "Manual of Roman Antiquties," accompanied with a plan of Rome, has recently issued from the press.-Three parts of Umbreit's Commentary on the Prophets of the Old Testament have already appeared; and the fourth and last, containing all the minor Prophets, is in process of publication. Alexander Von Humboldt, aged 72, is preparing a physical description of the Earth, about to be published by Cotta, entitled "Cosmus."
A Volume of the "Histoire littéraire de la France" has been recently published, containing biographical notices of the French Troubadours. The first volume of this work first appeared in 1733.—The library of the late Charles Nadier, consisting of a choice collection of beautiful old books, although small, sold for 68,000 francs. So much for rare works.
Cardinal Pacca's collection of papers and letters, marked by him "for publication," have been sent to his relatives, and will probably be suppressed. They are said to contain some confidential correspondence between himself and Frederick the Great. A memoir of Rosellini has been prepared by his friend D. Guiseppe Bardilli.Eight volumes of Angel Mao's "Spicilegium Romanum" have appeared; the remaining two will soon be out. Here are to be found interesting documents illustrative of the middle ages, from Greek, Latin and Italian MSS. in the Vatican.
Becker's "Gallus, or Roman Scenes of the time of Augustus," has been translated and published in London. This work will be valua
ble to classical scholars and readers of Roman history, as illustrating Roman manners and customs. The "Letters and Official Documents of Mary Stuart" are soon to be published. They amount to 700, collected from original MSS., and are written in English, Scotch, Latin, and Italian.-Two numbers of "The North British Review" have appeared and give promise of great excellence. Such men as Sir David Brewster, Drs. Chalmers and Welsh, Mr. Hallam, etc. are among the contributors.
Professor Woolsey, of Yale College, is preparing for the press an edition of Plato's Crito & Phædo; and Prof. Champlin, of Waterville, a translation of Kühner's Elementary Latin Grammar.

Colporteur System, American,__by Prof. J. M. Sturtevant 214. The political, social, and religious character of the Western States 215. Failure of the means hither- to employed to benefit them 216. Examination of the Colporteur System, and its adaptation to the present condition of the popula- tion in the West 217. State of society and education in the West 222. Colportage cannot meet the emergency 223. No scarcity of books-they are not read 224.
The people of the West are hot a "stupid people"-eloquence is highly appreciated-and questions of interest well understood-the living speaker is the instrument to awaken activity 225. It is Bax- ter's self not Baxter's writings that are needed-no mode of effort has so immediate effect in forming so- ciety as our efforts for Education and Home Missions 231. Impor- tance of a Catholic spirit in our missionary enterprises 232. A sec- tarian spirit is the bane and curse of the church 233. Claims of the Colporteur system as being "re- publican,' ""democratic " answer- ed 234. Christianity in its purity is "republicanism," it cares as much for the poor as the rich 234.

Divine Agency and Government to- gether with Human Agency and Freedom, by Leonard Woods, D. D.-(Continued from Vol XI. p. 137)-410. We are accountable beings as clearly as we are intelli- gent beings 410. Because there is only one supreme cause it does not follow that there are no secon- dary causes 412. The state of
dependence is not inconsistent with just accountableness to a moral government 413. Free ac- countable agency is learned from consciousness 414. Cause and Effect 415. Understanding of the terms 416. Unwillingness of some writers to apply the words cause and effect to the determinations and actions of moral agents 418. A rational being acts rationally in causing or originating his own acts, he must do it under rational influence, of motives addressed to the mind 420. Many of the acts of the mind are not controlled by the Will 421. Good men love God not because they will to love him, but because they see him lovely and glorious 422. The goodness or badness of man's character is manifested by the spontaneous ex- ercise of his affections 424.
