t, general results of our experiment, and our
growing attachment to the Union. The author we understand to be Mr. THOMAS
G. CARY, a distinguished merchant, who has brought the observation and
knowledge of a _practical_ life in aid of his reasoning, throughout his
pamphlet. It has passed, we are glad to learn, to a speedy second edition;
and we cannot but hope that it may be re-published in England. It could
not fail to produce great good, in the rectification of gross errors in
relation to this country.

PARLEY'S CABINET LIBRARY.--In this work Mr. GOODRICH proposes to furnish
the public with forty numbers, at twenty-five cents each, of biographical,
historical and miscellaneous sketches, designed for the family circle, and
especially for youth. The first two numbers consist of the lives of famous
men of modern times; as SCOTT, BYRON, BONAPARTE, BURNS, BURKE, GOETHE,
JOHNSON, MILTON, SHAKSPEARE, BACON, etc. The next two numbers are devoted
to famous men of ancient times; as CAESAR, HANNIBAL, CICERO, ALEXANDER,
PLATO, etc. The fifth and sixth numbers contain the 'Curiosities of Human
Nature,' as ZERA COLBURN, CASPAR HAUSER, etc. The seventh and eighth
contain the lives of benefactors: as WASHINGTON, FRANKLIN, HOWARD, FULTON,
BOWDITCH, etc. We notice also, in the biographical series, the lives of
celebrated Indians and celebrated women. The historical sketches will
present a series of striking pictures, illustrative of the history of the
four quarters of the globe. The miscellaneous department will embrace
arts, sciences, manners and customs of nations, a view of the world and
its inhabitants, etc., etc. The intention of the author is to furnish a
library of twenty volumes, devoted to the most interesting portions of
human knowledge, with the design of rendering their subjects interesting
and attractive to the general reader. Several of the numbers are now
issued; and judging from these, we are happy to give the work our hearty
approbation. The sketches will not be found to be _mere_ sketches, drawn
from cyclopedias: the author has evidently gone to the original sources,
and culled with care the most interesting points on each subject. A
contemporary expresses surprise that he has been able to say so much that
is striking, just and new, in so brief a space; a praise in which we fully
concur. The work entitled 'Curiosities of Human Nature' is one of the
deepest interest, and is calculated to suggest profound reflections as
