We are very much pleased with this work, and
can recommend it to those who wish 10 obtain q
clear view of the train Of facts and circumstances
7-hich led to the establishment OF the grand
scheme CT political Lib0rty, which has been real
led on the North American Continent.


The style is odd to say the least and may dis
please some, bu: the manner in which the great
idea Of the book is carried through and developed
IS clear ard satisfactory.


The author, in his preliminary discourse. holds
that there are three things to be considered in the
..gdx.of history


~ . The Historical records--ihe facts Of History
2 The Civilization. !. 2. the progressive improve
uaent and elevation Of the Race; 3. The Divine
Design c. the destiny assigned to the Raceb its
Author.


This is good statement. and we wish it could
become general in treating al branches of History.
1t is vain to undertake to comprehend the history
Of the Past unless we understand the Destiny OF
Mankind on earth--that is the work or function as
signed them by the Creator in placing them here.
History offers mainly series of gigantic and
terrible pictures Of Carnage. Slavery, Poverty, Ig
norance and Misery of the rise and fall of Nations,
of. universal conflict and antagonism And still,
during all this time there has been quite regular
collectirf progress, and Humanity, through suiier-
,ngs Of all kinds aud a rude and terrible appren-
;iccship, hns been gradually approaching the solu-
iion of problem, yet but dimly perceived which
can be no other than thnt OF its Destiny When
this problem is solved then the Past will be under
stood the misery and evil which have predomina-
ted init and which seem so inconsistent with the at
tributes of Divine Providence, will be explained, and
Man will understand the scheme of universal Deve-
lopnent, tho cause Of Evil, and the plan of Divine
government-conciiatine the free will or indcpeud
ert action of finite beings with His plans of unver
sal harmony.


Mr.. NJ Cartney has not undertaken to explain the
Destiny Of Man on earth perhaps it did not enter
into the plan ofhis present work; perhaps he could
not He has undertaken to show that in the dscov-
cry Of our Continent and in the mode Of its settle
mept, the Divine Design was to establish grand
example Of Political Liberty, and raise up great
Nation, which should conciliate in every way the
independence of The elements composing il. from
the citizen to the State, with the collective Unity
and authority OF the w hole. This he has done in n
clear and iecitous manner, and his statement will
well reward the cost and time of procuring and
reading tho work.


We wish some one could write the History OF
Europe. and trace the gradual formation OF its Polit,
ical System from the fall of the Roman Empire.
