The volume before us is wholly Swedenborgian. We think that nowhere can be found a book from which so clear and so compressed a view of the leading doctrines of this rapidly growing sect can be obtained.-Historical Magazine.

It adheres rigidly to the received principles of Swedenborg's teachings, but it surrounds them with lucid illustrations, clears up their apparent difficulties, enforces their logical applications, and exhibits their prac tical scope and bear ng in a style remarkable for clearness of statement, as well as argumentative force."-New York Tribune.

"The discussion is conducted in the best possible spirit. It may fail to convince one who is not convinced already, but it cannot fail to interest any person who has ever thought upon these strange, intoxicating themes." -The Nation.

His style is clear, perspicuous'

"The author takes rank among the foremost theological writers of the times and eloquent. He writes like one who has absolute and undoubted faith in the doctrines he holds, and he fortifies them by Scripture and logic. It is not for us to say whether he is right or wrong; but upon the investigation of the great problems relating to a future life, about which we are all compelled to oberly think whether we will or no, we feel assured that the serious searcher after truth cannot do a wiser thing than to read this thoughtfu book."--Press, Portland.

It has leavened the

"The Swedenborgian Church has made a valuable contribution to modern theology. Church universal with a more living faith in the world of spirits, and has aided to restore the doctrine of regener ation to its proper prominence."-New York Independent.

"One point which Mr. Hayden particularly brings forward is the doctrine which teaches that the last judgment spoken of in the Bible has already taken place, and that the influx of spiritual light resulting thence is t e cause of the sudden progress in art, seience, philanthropy, and political and social improvement wh ch has taken place within the last century."-New York Sun.

ESSAYS ON POLITICAL ECONOMY.

Part

BY THE LATE

M. FREDERIC BASTIAT,

Member of the Institute of France.

I-Sophisms of Protection-First Series.

Part I'-Sophisms of Protection-Second Series.
Part III—Spoliation and Law.

Part IV-Capital and interest.

TRANSLATED FROM THE PARIS EDITION OF 1863.

The publishers of this translation from the works of the late M. BASTIAT, believe that the time has come when the reading public are prepared to give a more thoughtful attention to the discussion of economical questions than they were able to give during the war, and the subsequent struggle on Reconstruction.

The organization of leagues in various parts of the country, having for their object the promotion of economical science, and the readjustment of our system of taxation; the numerous public meetings and conventions now holding both East and West, and the increasing public interest in the question of Protection and Free Trade, manifested by the protracted session of the Committee of Ways and Means of the National House of Representa tives during the present summer vacation, are evidences of a demand for informat on which it is the purpose of this publication, in part to supply

Among the advocates af ́commercia' freedom, no writer holds a higher place than BASTIAT. HIS SOPHISMES ECONOMIQUES are probably the most exact reductio ad absurdum that has ever been applied to the fallacies of Protection in any language.

This volume is the first complete English translation of these essays that has been given to the public. Three. fourths of the volume consists of the Sophisms; the remainder is made up of Bastiat's Essays on "Spoliation and Law," and "Capital and Interest." The latter will be found a very timely answer to the arguments which are rife in certain quarters, implying that interest for the use of capital is a species of injustice and oppression upon labor.

The Translation is accompanied by an original preface by HORACE WHITE, Esq., Editor of the Chicago Tribune. The book is printed on tinted paper, and makes a 12mo volume of over 400 pages. Price, $2.00

LETTERS OF PEREGRINE PICKLE.

GEORGE P. UPTON.

Tais, That, and the Other."

The contents of this book originally appeared in the columns of the Chicago Tribune, in the form of weekly letters over the nom de plume of PEREGRINE PICKLE,” devoted to matters of gossip and interest in the great w rld of amusement Necessarily, much of their matter was of an ephemeral nature, which perished with publication. Many of the letters were also devoted to topics of a purely local and temporary character, which, at this distant date, would possess no interest. The writer, therefore, has taken care to preserve only such part of them as have a general bearing, and has arranged them under appropriate heads, with dates at the end of each, as a matter of convenience and reference.

These letters were commenced in the early part of the winter of 1866-7, and have, therefore, reached the very respectable age of nearly three years. During that time, in order to maintain the interest which has attached to them, the writer has widely varied their character, so that they embrace a large range of subjects-grave, gay. gossipy, sentimental and serious-"this, that, and the other."

The author of these letters is GEORGE P. UPTON, for many years the Literary Editor and Dramatic and Musical Critic of the "Tribune."

1 vol. 2mo, nearly 500 pp., tinted paper, and bound in beveled boards. Price, $2.00.

These books are for sale by all Booksellers, or will be sent free by mail on receipt of price by the Publishers.
