DE TOCQUEVILLE'S DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA. - The admirers of this well-known writer will learn with some astonishment that his right to the originality of his work on America has been called in question by the late M. Alexandre Vattemare of Paris, who states that the views were entirely communicated to M. De Tocqueville by the Hon. J. C. Spencer, a celebrated American lawyer and statesman, who, on having the first draught of the work read to him by the distinguished Frenchman, totally dissented from the views there expressed, and induced M. de Tocqueville to cancel his own work and substitute for it the views which he then and there dictated.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.-The January number of this popular and now well-known periodical is, without exception, the best we have yet seen, and has for its contributors such a galaxy of talent as we believe has never yet been met with in any single number of any periodical, American or English. Longfellow, Bryant, Whittier, Russell Lowell, and Wendell Holmes each contribute an original poem. Bayard Taylor narrates some travelling adventures. George Augustus Šala gossips charmingly on George Cruikshank. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall recall many pleasing recollections of Tom Moore. Mr. Higginson gives some quaint notices of negro soldiers. Mrs. Stowe, Gail Hamilton, Horace Scudder, D. A. Wasson, and Fitz Hugh Ludlow fill up the number with admirable articles, some light and graceful, others solemn and sad, all well written and readable.

GOLD CHART.-The publisher of the Banker's Magazine has issued a Gold Chart for 1864, showing (on one large sheet 24in. by 36in.) the daily fluctuations in gold at New York for the years 1862, 1863, and 1864, with a diagram, noting the changes in the bank and national currency for each month in those years, aud the leading events which it was supposed affected the price of gold in the United States. Price about 58.

HERALDRY.-The first number of an Heraldic Journal has just been issued in Boston. Its object is to record the Armorial Bearings and Genealogies of American Families. CONCHOLOGY.-It is proposed to issue at Philadelphia a Quarterly Journal of Conchology, particulars of which we hope to give in our next.

IN MEMORIAM.

"And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time."

EDWARD EVERETT, preacher, professor, politician, statesman, essayist, and orator, is dead. For more than fifty years he had filled a prominent place in the esteem and affection of his countrymen. Born in 1794, he had hardly reached his eighteenth year before he was chosen professor of Latin in Harvard College. One year later he was elected to fill the pulpit of an eloquent preacher. In his twentieth year he produced a masterly treatise in defence of Christianity. At 21 he became professor of the Greek Language and Literature at Harvard College, and while discharging the duties of his office found time to translate Buttmann's Greek Grammar. In his twenty-eighth year he was editor of the North American Review, to which he contributed from first to last more than one hundred papers. Four years later he electrified his countrymen by one of the most eloquent orations ever delivered in America, was elected to Congress, and afterwards became Governor of Massachusetts. In 1841 he was appointed Minister to the English Court, where he won golden opinions from a large circle of Englishmen, and had the distinguished honour of receiving from Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin, the Honorary Degree of D.C.L. For several years he had lived in comparative retirement, engaged, it has been said, in the preparation of a work on the Law of Nations.

HENRY R. SCHOOLCRAFT died at Washington on the 19th December, 1864, having attained the ripe age of 72 years. No man has contributed more to our knowledge of the history, language, habits, and manners of the North American Indians. His great work, entitled "Historical and Statistical information respecting the history, condition, and prospects of the Indian Tribes," is a perfect storehouse of information on the subject, and embraces every imaginable topic relating to the Indians. For forty years he lived among the Indians, married a chief's daughter, spoke their language, and was the trusted medium of communication between them and the United States Government.

At his residence in New Haven, on the 24th of November, 1864, in his 85th year, died, Professor Benjamin Silliman, one of the most distinguished men of science America has produced. He was born in New Stratford on the 8th of August, 1779, graduated at Yale at the age of 17, and in his 20th year became a tutor in the same college. His early studies were directed towards the legal profession, but in 1804, at the earnest request of Dr. Dwight, then president of Yale, he accepted the professorship of chemistry and natural history, then first established, and filled the chair with honour to himself and advantage to his students till the year 1853, when at his own request he was relieved, of his duties. In 1805 he visited England, Holland, and Scotland, and on his return to America published an account of his travels, which was received with very great favour. 1818 he established the "American Journal of Science and Arts," which has been continued to the present day. The undertaking was at first and for a long period attended with heavy pecuniary loss, but he perseveringly carried it on till it became one of the most important scientific journals in the world. To his labours in this department American science owes a deep debt of gratitude. In 1822 he republished and edited Henry's Chemistry as a text book for his students, and in 1829 issued an edition of Bakewell's Geology, enriched with most valuable original notes. His own text book on Chemistry appeared in 1830, in two 8vo. volumes. writer and lecturer on science, he possessed the happy art of clothing scientific truths in their most pleasing garb. As a tutor he was the genial friend and faithful monitor of his students. And in his private relations he showed himself the true Christian gentleman. After a life devoted to the benefit of his countrymen, he passed quietly away, almost in the very act of thanksgiving, in the bosom of his family, surrounded by those who had learned to look up to him with the warmest affection and reverence.

THE REV. MYRON WINSLOW, D.D., a well-known American Missionary, died on the 22nd October at the Cape of Good Hope, while on his return to America. He was in his 75th year, and had been for forty-five years a missionary in India. Twenty years of his leisure he devoted to the preparation of a Tamil and English Dictionary of High and Low Tamil.

No poverty there-no, the saints are all wealthy,

No sickness can reach them, that country is healthy;

and the poor wretched native Australian who, on the scaffold, ex-

claimed, "Never mind, me jump up white man with plenty of

sixpence," but illustrated in their ignorant way the universal idea

that a future state was one into which misery could not enter and

where all the inconveniences sustained in this world by poverty and

sickness were to be remedied. Martin, the painter, though gigantic

in his conceptions yet only made of his "Celestial City," and the

"Plains of Heaven," things which were to realise his artistic con-

ception of beauty and happiness; thus the grand architectural

studies which characterize his "Celestial City," and the glades, and

mark his "Plains of Heaven," are in reality as earthly in their conceptions as the theories of the rhymer and savage of which we have spoken, and as material as the Kamschatzkan's idea of a heaven in which he and his dog will figure fat and sleek, instead of half starved and miserable as in this state. Mr. Alger gives the theories which, in all stages of civilization, nations have entertained of heaven and a future state, and his noble volume forms a most interesting study for the philosopher and theologian. It has appended to it a bibliography of the subject, consisting of more than 5000 works in all languages, treating of every imaginable topic, in connection with the doctrine of a future state. Those only who have engaged in such labours can tell the immense amount of application and knowledge of books necessary to produce such a list: we have applied a severe test to it, and can vouch for its accuracy.

Anderson.-The Hawaiian Islands: their progress and condition under Missionary Labours. By Rurus ANDERSON, D.D. With Map and Illustrations. Second Edition. 8vo., cloth, pp. 450. Boston. 10s. 6d.

Forty years ago much interest was excited in the condition of the Hawaiian Islands, owing to the melancholy death of the young king and queen, then on a visit to this country. This interest was heightened by the fact that they were the representatives of a nation which had voluntarily abandoned its idolatrous practices, destroyed its idols, and their temples, given up all the religious peculiarities of its ancestors, and fallen into a state of absolute atheism. The condition of this people attracted great attention in religious circles, and a body of missionaries were soon dispatched from the United States to endeavour to implant Christianity in a soil apparently so open to receive it. Their labours were crowned with success, and up to this period this mission has been one of the most successful on record. Dr. Rufus Anderson, who has been for many years Foreign Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for foreign missions, was recently deputed to visit these islands and report on the state of the missions there, this volume gives the results of his inquiries. But this is not all it contains in a condensed form the substance of all the various histories of these islands, accurate information as to their products, their social state, their industry and commerce, their schools and literature. The chapter devoted to the latter subjects is especially interesting. From it we learn that no less than two hundred works have been translated into the native language of Hawaii. Of the entire Bible, called "Baibala," consisting of 1451 pages, there have been circulated no less than 120,000 copies; of the Hawaiian New Testament 60,000 copies; and of the New Testament in Hawaiian and English, consisting of 727 pages, 60,000 copies. Translations of Baxter's Saints' Rest, The Pilgrim's Progress, Clark's Scripture Promises, Keith on the Prophecies: of a large number of school books; of books on History, on Moral Science, on Political Economy, and even on Military Tactics, are enumerated among the productions of the native press. Three newspapers are regularly published in the Islands: the "Hoku Pakifika," the Government paper, the "Nupepa Knokoa," and the "Hoku Soa." Dr. Anderson does not mention in his chapter on the literature of the Islands the fact that the English Book of Common Prayer has also been translated into Hawaiian, and has prefixed a preface by the late king, who thus takes his place among royal authors. The recent appointment of Bishop Staley and others as representatives of the English Church in Hawaii has not met with the approval of the American Missionaries; and though we cannot altogether agree with Dr. Anderson, his remarks on the proceedings of the Bishop and his clergy undoubtedly deserve the attentive consideration of all who are interested in the progress of mission.

Barrett.-The Old Merchants of New York City. 3rd Series. By WALTER BARRETT. 12mo. cloth, pp. 351. New York. 7s. 6d.

A posthumous publication by "Manhattan," the late racy correspondent of the London "Morning Herald." Many of the most prosperous merchants of New York sprung from very humble positions by dint of industry, honesty, shrewdness, and perseverance; their lives are full of incident, and show how little influence really "good luck" has upon commercial success. The fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare" well allegorizes the histories of our most successful

men.

The author is the Alford Professor of Moral Philosophy in Harvard College, and is one of the most distinguished metaphysicians of America. Conceiving that a fair knowledge of logic is a natural and

even indispensable preparation for the successful pursuit of psychology and metaphysics, and, indeed, for philosophical speculations generally, he has prepared this work for students, and gives here the substance of the best English, German, and French writers on the subject. It is not, however, a mere introduction to logic, or a grammar of logic, but it forms a complete manual for students desirous of entering upon philosophical studies.

We have numerous gift books for children, but none for grandfathers and grandmothers. This book is intended to fill that vacant space in literature. It consists of original and selected matter, and the author, in a charmingly written preface, says: "When I was myself near the fairy land of childhood, I used my pen for the pleasure of children; and now that I am travelling down the hill I was then ascending, I would fain give some words of consolation and cheer to my companions on the way. If the rays of my morning have helped to germinate seeds that ripened into flowers and fruit, I am grateful to Him from whom all light and warmth proceeds. And now I reverently ask His blessing on this attempt to imitate, in my humble way, the setting rays of that great luminary, which throws cheerful gleams into so many lonely old homes, which kindles golden fires on trees whose foliage is falling, and lights up the silvered heads on which it rests with a glory that reminds one of immortal crowns."

Cooke.-Religion and Chemistry; or, Proofs of GOD'S PLAN IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND ITS ELEMENTS. Ten Lectures delivered at the Brooklyn Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. By JOSIAH P. COOKE, jun. 8vo. cloth, pp. x. and 348. New York. 1864. 10s. 6d.

The author is Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy in Harvard His chief aim in these lectures was to refute the Darwinian theory, by showing that there is abundant evidence of design in the properties of the chemical elements alone, and hence that the great argument of Natural Theology rests upon a basis which theories of organic development cannot shake. Five of the Lectures treat respectively of the testimony of the Atmosphere, of Oxygen, of Water, of Carbonic Acid, and of Nitrogen, and the last lecture concludes with an important sketch of the necessary Limitations of Scientific and Religious Thought.
